WCDMA?

Okay so I ran a network scan. And every phone like the galaxy s2 or thrill would show umts under att followed by gsm.under as well. How come the nitro shows wcdma?

are you on att stock rom?
all att phones got this menu disabled.

You won't have this option available unless you carrier unlock your phone. They're available on ebay for like $3. I had mine unlocked pretty much immediately after it arrived.

ATT Atrix 4G on T-Mobile UK was also showing WCDMA. Just another label for UMTS.

Is unlocking the phone as simple as entering a code? And is it reversible (if ever necessary)?

NCK unlocking is completely legal, permanent, doesn't void your warranty, and you're not hacking your device in any way. You don't need to worry about reversing it. It is as simple as entering a code
But it's also unnecessary unless you plan on switching carriers or traveling overseas and popping in a new SIM.

Unlocking a phone is NOT reversible. Its ONLY for putting another sim card from another carrier in ur phone to use it on another network. And using a AT&T sim card Its still just greyed out. I have to use my Orange UK sim to be able to do a network search.. And that UK sim lets me use 3G data on AT&T`s network
Like above u can see I was running on the T-Mobile Network as well

Thanks for the info guys. I guess I won't worry about unlocking it unless I plan to sell it.

To the op. You happen to get 4g on T-Mobile? Also does your tmobile simcard crash on the nitro? Happens a bit to me

I just tested my cousin 4G on his phone and he got 6.56mbps and 1.04mbps upload. What is going on?

I say your account has wrong data provisioned. My nexus on att gets 6mbps down etc.

Which data should i get with att?

My account was (re)provisioned with an iPhone 4, and I'm seeing about double the speed in downtown Silicon Valley since going from my N1 (~1.2Mbps) to the GN (~3Mbps).
Figure whatever ATT's doing, they want iPhone people to be happy...

try downloading a different radio

Get an imei from a lte att phone , call att tell them your switching phones and you need to be on an lte plan. You obviously won't get lte service but you can use the PTA apn which seems to be the fastest. Att can only provision your plan for 4g hspa or whatever if you have an imei of a 4g phone on the plan. I copied a skyrocket imei off YouTube , called added it ,switched plans and now I get between 6mb to 9.5 mb in NY

I did this. I gave them a skyrocket IMEI. They made my plan $30 bucks for 4G LTE. They also gave me a LTE sim card i'm able to use PTA. My internet has increased but at the same time its not stable. I get 3-5mbs but sometimes I don't even get 1mb.
Hmmmm maybe I should try a different radio?

I haven't noticed any speed changes from switching radios. I've tried 5 or 6 I think. I'm currently using the ugla4. It the speed changes your noticing probably have to do with not being on the hspa+ network
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

Actually, i'm noticing increase of speed and its becoming more stable with PTA. I"m actually pretty happy with it so far. I averge 3mb-5mb.
its alot better then before now I have 3gb of usage now instead of my old 200mb. its good

[Q] Does T-Mobile just suck? Or is it me?

I'm in the Ventura County area and have tried all the radios on T-Mobile and I have no data anywhere I go. I can still receive calls and texts but no data.
Did I do something wrong?

Are you roaming on at&t?
I was in America last week after a months holiday and I had T-Mobile coverage in new Orleans so I had data and calls etc. Went to Alexandria LA and no T-Mobile signal there only at&t so I had calls and texts but no data.
Called T-Mobile and they said they don't allow data roaming and that I was **** outta luck.
Dunno if his is your problem but it sounds like the one I had.

That's a pretty old baseband, isn't it? Have you given the newer UGLC1 or XXLA2 radios? You really should be using a radio meant for 4.0.4, like one of those two. You can find them at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1405345
Additionally, have you verified your APN settings?

I've tried all radios this one was just the last one I tried. How do I check the APN settings?

Exchange your SIM card for a newer one and get tmobile to add your IMEI to their system.
Galaxy Nexus has been treating me well on the TMo network. Better than any of my previous phones.

Yeah, it sounds like it may be a problem with how the carrier has your line provisioned. Go talk to them and see if they can fix it.

Would buying a prepaid phone package (one with a "dumb" phone) cause any problems?
Are there different SIM cards for "dumb" phones and smart phones?

The SIMs should be the same, but it may depend on how the line is provisioned.

No it wouldn't but like coolsplice said, your account is possibly provisioned incorrectly for "3G/4G(H)." I would go speak with them and see if they can revise your account to reflect its proper information.
It definitely is weird when voice/texts work but your phone is unable to get 4G/3G data. Have previous phones had this problem at all?

Yes. A simple phone call would fix this. I had a dumb phone sum and needed to call my provider to enable internet and then call then again yo enable 3G.

I wouldn't be so sure. My old Gnex had an antenna hardware issue after a week of use. Try to go to an att store and try their sim. I had bars but absolutely no real usable service on both networks. Goodluck.
From my holocron

I had ATT before t-mobile, on my family's plan. Had the phone for about a week on there and had no problems at all. Right when I switched no more data.

Are you definitely getting T-Mobile signal and not roaming with at&t?
Not being smart here but I had that problem.

Yeah I'm getting TMobile. The APN says so. Looks just like the pictures in one of the other posts.

Does it say it when you pull down the notification bar?
If you search for networks does T-Mobile show?
I know this may seem stupid but I tried every radio I could and I couldn't get data coz I was roaming on at&t from T-Mobile.
Put an at&t sim in and data worked straight away.
If all that checks out and you do have T-Mobile signal then it will have to be a call to CS.

[Q] Bell Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE

Hi Everyone.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 unlocked, stock ROM and rooted. When i used the phone with Rogers it showed 4G. Now with Bell it shows H+.
I am ok with H+ because as i understand this is very similar to Roger's 4G. However, I have never gotten LTE on my phone.
Is there a way to enable this? I have checked the APN settings and they seem to be correct as per this forum.
Any ideas? Am i doing something wrong?
Thanks
Michael

I would make sure that the sim card you have says LTE on it (happened to me that they gave me the wrong one)
Outside of that I would recommend going to a strong LTE area and try to force LTE.
to do that go to your dialer
type *#2263#
Select LTE then LTE All, once you catch on to LTE go back into that menu and select Automatic

Have you confirmed your network speed with speedtest?

Thanks for the responses.
y2whisper: My sim card doesn't say LTE on it. It's a nanosim card that i had from my iPhone 4S. I was told the same sim card would work perfectly. I also tried that in the dialer and I selected LTE. It disabled my data and eventually i lost signal, no LTE signal came on. As soon as i put it back on automatic, it connected back to Bell with H+.
mrhaley30705: i did a speed test. It registered my download speed at 4757kbps and upload at 2398kbps
How does this fair?
Thoughts?

I was originally given the wrong sim card as well. Took a couple days to realize it. Went back into Best Buy where I got the phone and had it replaced. LTE fired right up. As to your speeds, depending upon your location, you could possibly add a zero to the end of those speeds and that's how much faster LTE could be. Here is mine but my area doesn't have the best LTE speeds.

Bell uses different micro sims for lte than the one you used for your 4s. Bell stores sell em for 5 bucks, but you can usually get them to give it to you for free.

yeah it would work perfectly minus the LTE ability. yeah get a new sim and call bell. Some bell stores try to charge you a courtesy fee to activate it. don't pay it.

thanks everyone for your help.
Switching SIM cards did it. Now instead of 3000-5000kbps on 3G i am getting LTE speeds of 30000 - 42000kbps.
Thanks

That is what you can expect from T-Mobile service. Its the reason I left.

This does not seem like a phone/software issue, but more of a carrier issue.
it is also worth noting to make sure that the phone is in fact completely sim unlocked (or else you wont get the correct bands for your radio), although I would not expect you to get service if it was not unlocked.
I am not sure if there is a different radio file for the GSM version of the device.
Anyone else have knowledge on the radio files?

Ive posted screenshots of my apn an connection thru signal checker. I know some phones are one lte 4g all day. I would love to figure this out. I am unrooted with no mods at all.
Sent from my SM-G920P using XDA-Developers mobile app

Tmobile uses 3 LTE Bands.
1900 - Phone supports it
1700 - NO PHONE SUPPORT
700 - Phone supports it
it is very possible that the area you are in is mostly 1700, and the phone is hopping around to find a strong signal.
~~~~~
Actually, from this page,
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Chea...on-T-Mobile-and-Sprint-use-in-the-USA_id77933
It shows that the 1700 band is one of tmobile's primary LTE Bands

Yes i saw that as well. But is there a way set band priorty or change the priorty settings??
Sent from my SM-G920P using XDA-Developers mobile app

That is a good question, which I do not know the answer to. I would imagine that the settings for that are in the carrier settings, which get downloaded when your phone connects to their network.
as for changing that, your guess is as good as mine
