Develop Bugs

Question about importing..

Ok, this is for all you guys who have imported before. i have never by the way. When the phone arrives and you insert your sim card, att/tmobile for example. will the phone automatically pick up the required signals to stay on your carrier and not roam to another? or do you have to set it to us what you want only?
Also one of the reasons i am choosing this phone is to have a phone that will be ready and capable of handling att's eventual takeover of tmobile. I would imagine that you will have to get an att sim card when that happens. But it is nice to be prepared Thanx
EDIT> NEW QUESTION ADDED....
Ok I should have asked this but it just crossed my mind.lol.. Since the phone is being imported will everything work correctly?Will I get the Us version of the market, etc?
Also is anyone else afraid of day one bugs?

yes, it's governed by the sim card. you put in an at+t sim card, it'll look for an at+t signal. same with tmobile.
eric b

Well, the T-mobile SIM card will connect you to the T-mo network. The opposite for AT&T SIM card
It has pentaband HSPA+ though, so you'll get full speed with both networks.

Lol ok, seems simple enough. What confused me was i remember on my nexus s, there was a clickable box that allowed me to switch between the two. So i figured id ask

And I'm sure you're thinking of just enabling data roaming. Just remember that if you're using a T-mo SIM card, your phone can't just magically start using AT&T for no reason...

Sure, you could click Network operators and see both networks listed. You would be denied from connecting to the network that doesn't match your SIM though.
Is the knownledge really so bad about GSM in the US that this seems like some kind of dark magic? It must really suck to be so controlled by the carriers whim. You can see it like terrestrial TV. When searching for channels you will pick up all channels that are broadcast (providing the signal is good enough) but you can't actually watch them unless you pay for them.

Yes, it is this bad. No one knows how it works. Not their fault, its the fact that they think that the carriers are the ones that make the phones and give them to consumers, rather than the consumers purchasing phones and using the carriers as dumb network providers.

Ok. Ok... I figured it to be that way, but i wanted to make sure. Like i said i have never imported :/

Just remember, it doesn't matter where in the world the phone comes from. If it supports the bands for the Network/SIM you're using, just put in your SIM and don't worry about it lol. Don't think of it as being an "international" phone. Its just a GSM phone.

I was on T-mobile USA a few years ago when living in the States; started off with pre-paid and moved to a contracct plan. From what I remember, the pre-paid SIM cards don't let you roam on Cingular/AT&T but the contract SIM would. It depends on inter-carrier arrangements so it's best to ask a T-mobile rep about this.
And in doubt, I'd suggest disabling data roaming if you're in area where you can't reliably connect to your normal carrier!

There was a reason why I wasn't posting anything here. I knew stuff in US was a bit different....... So like what hircus said, ask a T-mobile rep.....
In Malaysia where I live, the only contract phones that actually sell in great numbers is the iPhone. Our contracts plans are quite bad and buying an unlocked phone and putting your own SIM card is a cheaper on the long run. Oh, (not too sure for the iPhone), in Malaysia when you buy a phone on contract, the phone is not "locked" to a specific carrier... go figure......

Ok I should have asked this but it just crossed my mind.lol.. Since the phone is being imported will everything work correctly?Will I get the Us version of the market, etc?

yes, the market is sim card dependent you'll get the US market and services (like google voice), no worries.

Galaxy Nexus on Tmobile USA

Does anyone own a Galaxy Nexus connected to Tmobile USA's HSPA+ network in Chicago or midwest? Was wondering what kind of speed are you getting? Thanks in advance.

im in florida.. best so far was 8 DL and 2.1 Upload

it would work with walmart/t-mo plan right? The $30/mo for 5gb 4G data, unlimited text, 100min

I don't see why it wouldn't. All you need is a sim card and the ability to change your plan to that one. I'd consider that plan myself, but I use too many minutes.

It'll be as fast as any other 21mbps HSPA device...

Yeah it will; That's what I'm getting too Already have the sim card (DO NOT BUY AT A "Authorized Dealer" ... they rip you off beyond all reason... I normally avoid them but, for some reason, bought the card from them and paid an extra $15)
Btw if you do the math, you can do an extra 400 minutes in overages before you would be going over the $70 price of the Unlimited Everything (5GB of 4G) plan.
So with the $30 plan, you are better off if you use less than 500 mins per month... I use none ...

I think the $30 is worth trying to cut down on the voice anyway, and going with Text or Google Voice as an alternative for unimportant convos

I'm new to T-Mobile US. I remember reading something about there being issues when importing a GSM phone not distributed by T-Mobile. Maybe it was only related to porting the iPhone to T-Mobile? Can't remember.

The only issues bringing phones to T-mobile is they often only get 2G service on the network (most quadband phones don't have AWS freq that T-mo use). Other than that, everything works just fine. The Galaxy Nexus is of course pentaband and gets 3G just fine on T-mo.
FWIW there are several hundred thousand iPhones running unlocked on T-mobile right now lol.

I remember with Windows Mobile phones not sold by T-Mobile, to set up MMS you have to manually specify the gateway, server address, and port number to get MMS to work with T-Mobile's network. Is this still necessary? It's been several years since I had to do this so it might not be relevant anymore.

And btw OP, only you can know what the speeds are in your specific location. Even someone within a few miles of you could get quite different speeds because of the load on the tower nearest you.

Wait, so do you have to specify the network and APN or not? The "funny business" is exactly this manual specification of the network info.

Most of the time no. It should pull the info over the network and be all set up for you when you put the SIM in. If you find MMS doesn't work, changing APN settings might be required. You only do it once, it isn't a big deal.

AIO wireless is the best bang for the buck

So I switched to aio wireless a couple months back. Prepaid service owned by att. It is the only service out there using att signal and Lte that actually gives you what you pay for. Aiowireless.com
The plans and pricing is straightforward
$55/month for 2gb Lte speed then true unlimited throttled after.
If you need more data you can easily add either one time purchases of $10/gb extra. Or you can add it as a permanent add on. 1gb extra a month for $10 on top of the 50 dollar base.
i think the best deal though is the aio pro plan for $70 you get 7gb
I personally have a monthly order of 8gb for $80. My company pays for $60/month. So I pay $20.
The customer service and support is the easiest and the best I've ever encountered. For instance they have an app that let's you overview your whole account, usage, add or change your plan, and a chat feature that instantly connects you to an aio rep. And they are ridiculously helpful and friendly.

It's a small thing.. But when i get close to running out of high speed.. They send me a text message.. And they don't tell me how I can add more gbs or give them more money.. They suggest I use wifi. Its small.. But its like they aren't trying to get you to give them more money.
I'm an extremely happy customer. I recommend it to anyone who has att coverage. And doesn't want a contract.
Anybody out here have aio already can share their experience?

Been on Straight talk, Go Phone and now AIO Wireless. Gotta say I prefer Aio of the three.
Straight Talk: Cheapest(45$) 1.5 gb of data after that your slow as hell, Also don't count on customer support being there.
AT&T Go Phone: Most expensive ($60) Two gigs of data after that have to purchase 1gb at 10$. Good customer service. (con was most apps for at&t service don't work) Had to use texting option to check data usage, no visual voice mail, etc
Aio Wireless: (55$ a month 2gb of data after that your slowed down but have the option to speed back up for 1gb for 10$) Best customer support also visual voice mail and a account app to check data usage.

Is that a typo?

Well it really depends on the user straight talk is offering lte and throttles data after 2.5 gigs and it's 45 dollars and tax comes to 48 but you don't have the option to add more gigs like aio wireless and there are plenty of apps in the play store to monitor data usage or just go to setting and set the limit yourself it really comes done to the person and how much there willing to spend. So to say one better than the other is basically opinion and not really fact.

What type of lte speeds are you guys seeing with aio?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I recently moved from Verizon Wireless to AIO for my Nexus 5. The speeds I get is ~4mb down ~2mb up in the area I am located in. With the 3 days I've been with them, I am so far pleased. Great coverage so speeds aren't really bugging me that much.
The only thing I have found annoying is I have to manually enter my own APN settings to get data to work. I've attempted to create my own update.zip along with other user's zip's and has not work. (Chronic rom flasher).

AT&T compatibility

For those of you using AT&T. Do not update your IMEI at this time and hope that the system doesn't auto update it. LTE is not supported on the OP3. I am currently stuck on 4G due to this problem.
I have opened a ticket to get the OP3 registered. I will date back here.

My ATT service is perfect with LTE.
Update your APN's

Nextgenphone and ATT Phone. The network is blocking LTE access. Your IMEI hasn't updated yet. Mine worked fine for a few hours.
I work in a cor AT&T store. There were features removed when I changed my IMEI. Once AT&T updates their IMEI database it'll be fine.

I've had the phone since noon on Friday and still no issues with AT&T. I have not called to change IMEI.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using XDA-Developers mobile app

I am having same problem, my two devices are stuck in HSPA mode. I spent over an hour online chat with AT&T to no resolution. They tried but could not understand the problem. I had the phones activated at corporate store today too. Hopefully this problem gets resolved soon.

Guys don't bother with the att reps. Most of them have no idea what they are doing with an iPhone let alone anything else. The worst thing you can do is call them for help.

I agree with zelendel even though I work for the company. I am sure I'm not the only person who has opened a ticket to the OP3 added. In the mean time if you call customer service and just ask them to have a manager approve adding the nextgenphone apn to your line then it will fix the issue temporarily. I have LTE back for the time being.

How temporarily is the fix? And is there an eta on when att will fix the problem? I will be returning this phone if I can't use LTE on it.

So will this phone be updated and approved to receive LTE in the future by att? This is kind of a major deal if not.

Too late for it to be approved. This is one of the things you learn to deal with when you buy China based devices. They don't get approved by the Fcc which in turn causes issues with LTE and what not.

Please don't be a **** because you didn't have a problem. Others will and when they do its nice to help them understand what's wrong.

im on at&t go and it worked out of the box with LTE.

if what the OP said is true, u can get another IMEI that uses a nano sim card and then call att to activate that IMEI with att and then just reinsert the sim into the OP3 without calling, I did not update IMEI either but i do have a little issues with downloading things it switches back and forth quickly between 4+ and LTE but still get good speeds

Just opened my OP3 an hour ago and put my ATT nano sim in.

Yeah my LTE worked fine for at least 5 hours after I changed the IMEI. I was at work on WiFi so I don't know when it quit exactly. Even putting my sim back in a recognized device yielded no data. Called in got the nextgenphone added to my line, LTE came back. The problem with using another IMEI is sooner or later the system will update and you end up with no data.

Straight Talk AT&T Nightmare

I have used straight talk since I had my Oneplus One and always used AT&T towers. I've always received 4G LTE with that device. Since recently purchasing the Oneplus 3 and activating my new AT&T sim from straight talk, I have only gotten 3G with straight talks recommended APN settings. After spending hours on the phone with straight talk reassuring my phone has LTE capabilities.
I did do research about this problem and it looks like AT&T does not recognize this IMEI as an LTE compatible phone. After attempting to tell straight talk to try and activate my IMEI as an LTE compatible device, they sent me to AT&T. Which after being bounced around multiple times, even to some number that just gave me ads. They finally just told me they can not do anything because I have a straight talk account.
I then threw this sim card into multiple devices and received 4G on all of them.
So long story short, if anyone has had any experience or advice with this problem please comment otherwise I'm just going to change service providers... F*** Straight Talk.

I used to get a Straight Talk SIM for summer motorcycle trips. I have T-Mobile and after ATT tried to buy them, my phone didn't have service in lots of places that it did before.
Now I notice that ATT has the same $45/month pre-paid plan that I used to get on Straight Talk. You might try that one and see if it works for you.

I have straight talk AT&T with no problems. I had to try a few APN to get one that worked. I just Google Straight Talk AT&T APN settings. They are a lot to try. Try one and wait 5 to 10. It takes time for the new APN to kick in. Once it goes LTE, it will go straight to it now. It is not straight talk issue it is AT&T issue. They give MVNO providers low priority. That is why it takes time to get it to go LTE. I will take screen shot of my settings to see if they work for you.

Thanks, but no go. After testing settings, I flashed Freedom OS and it shows HSPA+. with both the settings you provided and the ones straight talk specifically provided me.
I did do a speed test and got 194ms ping, 5.26mb download and 1.34mb upload if anyone can compare.

Tried these settings already, after allowing hours for it to turn to 4G and multiple reboots. I'm still left with HSPA+. I'm quickly thinking this could be a modem hardware issue. I've tried installing most of the custom Roms available and as soon as I connect to a wifi network it restarts the phone and will keep restarting as soon as it connects to a wifi network . The only Roms that work are oxygen and freedom os. ��

There shouldn't be any difference between straight talk and legacy AT&T. Did you try running the phone using AT&T APN settings Instead if straight talk?
For what's it's worth, I have AT&T and I've had trouble with the hand-off from 3G to LTE. I live in an area without LTE but can drive in any direction half a mile and get LTE. The same thing was true with my LG3, but the hand-off was seamless.
T-mobile has enhanced LTE in my area and I'm now testing straight talk T-mobile in my second SIM slot.
It automatically loaded the T-mobile APNs and they work, as does straight talk.
I'm getting 2 bars of T-mobile LTE now and so there is no hand-off issue.
If all goes well for a month, I'll dump AT&T and either stay with straight talk or move to T-mobile.

Ditto
I share the same problem, OnePlus 3t on straight talk using at&t sim card. I can only get H+ on the status bar. Speed test max speeds of 10Mbps, usually around 6-7Mbps. I have scoured the internet for a solution to no avail. Tried swapping the sim card from my son's Galaxy S4 on the same network, but still H+ only. Both sim cards pull 30-50Mbps lte speeds in the S4. Both sim cards pull 4-6Mbps in the 3t. S4 is rooted running synergy mod flawlessly. I tried every apn on the internet. Even flashed back to stock rooted from lineage Pie. Entered the phone information page from the dialer menu. Lte physical configuration is blank?
Called straight talk, but their system hangs up on you when you get transfered to the department with some expertise, if that really exists there? None of my efforts got me lte. I really like this phone, this issue makes me feel like ditching the high-end garbage for something old but reliable. Makes no sense why so many 3t users get 4g lte with no problem, but then a few of us don't? See the screenshot of phone information.
