Can someone help me ? I am on Tmo I have a verizon htc one m8 and have arhd 8.1 and everything works great. The only thing I am having an issue with is is take 15-25 seconds before it starts ringing. I have it on GSM/WCDMA/LTE. I think it's having trouble from switching to LTE to H.
Could be Rom related but most likely it's due to being a vz phone. The pure tmo one rings within a second

I doubt that I have used vz factory unlocked phones on tmobile with no problem. The only difference between the tmo and vz is the 1700 band. Where I live 90% of the area is re-farmed.
Back to stock and check it out

I'm currently in Israel, and I had a LTE GN sent to me from America. I see that it has a microSIM card slot. If I were to get a microSIM, would I be able to hop off the networks here?

To be honest, I think you are the first one ever, to IMPORT a US-specific carrier-phone to try to use it internationally instead of just getting the international GSM version
a LTE GN from usually means this one: http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_nexus_i515-4301.php
as such it is a cdma phone, but LTE requires it to have a micro sim. It has no GSM radio whatsoever. And most likely it is locked to verzion.
simply put, no.
Ha, right. Well I didn't intentionally do this, it just happened that a friend had an upgrade with Verizon and he some how got the Nexus for free. He's using his BB here in Israel so he let me play with it. Its nice to have a solid feel with ICS.
Bummer.

There's no LTE networks in Israel...
...yet. Now that there's this whole boom the Communications Minister caused by getting all the new carriers to join the market, I think that Golan Telecom is the only one who is planning on getting the whole system up to 4G (LTE) when their thru.
In the meantime, though, your out of luck. Even if you did unlock the Verizon LTE phone, and get a microSIM (which is, btw, no problem here in Israel, all the carriers have them), you still wouldn't be able to use it as a cell phone since all the networks here are 3G and don't support LTE.
Damn zombies. Friends don't let friends resurrect threads that have been dead and buried for several months.

Okay this may seem entirely stupid,but coming from mostly Nexus devices I haven't had to worry about radio bands so please excuse me. If I was to flash the AT&T radio would it enable the bands that are not enabled now or is this controlled by hardware?

If your talking about trying to put an at&t radio on a different carrier phone like tmobile, verizon or sprint, dont do it. It will not change your phone to work on at&t because its the hardware that is different.
You can use a tmobile phone on at&t though I dont think you will get at&t LTE though, I think you will get the HSPA and 3g data.
If this is the case trade your phone off or sell it and get an at&t one if you want at&t you would be better off.
You can also dowload any radio apps from play store.

I'm receiving 4g and if I turn it to LTE only I never lose it. But then I can't make or receive phone calls. As soon as I switch to gsm/wcdma/lte I'm consistently switching between LTE and H+. Is there any way to get it to stock on LTE? Also, the reason I'm not selling it is we're getting 4G in my town on t-Mobile at the end of May but right now it's only Edge. So I'm using an unlocked T-Mobile one with straight talk until that happens. I'm stuck on contract with then because I have three phones to pay off,also everywhere else around me has t-Mobile 4g just not my town

Is it capable of Tmobile VOLTE? If so is it a hardware thing and can work regardless of rom (in my case 4.4.3 gpe)? Or must I use sense?

T-Mobile just released VoLTE in San Francisco. You have to wait until they release it in your area.

It is actually in a few places now. My question was if our HTC m8 supports it

HTC One M8 does support it and it works great for me on T-Mobile's network. If you are using the stock rom, there will be a little "HD" icon at the bottom right of the contact image when you make a call on VOLTE. It's also only supported with other phones that can do VOLTE, so keep that in mind.
Is it ROM dependant? Do i need to be on stock sense?

I think you are describing "HD Voice" (where both ends of a call use a different codec that sounds better).
VoLTE is where the phone uses the LTE data connection for a phone call (like WiFi calling, but different).
As far as I know, VoLTE is not currently available on the M8. It is not known if a firmware update from HTC can bring VoLTE to the M8, but I sure hope they can.

Note3 supports it which I am not sure if all snap800 SOC's support it. I would venture to say that 801 and beyond will for sure though. But OTOH, knowing carriers and their greed they might advertise some other phone as the first to support it and not enable on a phone capable of supporting it.

So I have a vzw m8, 4.4.3. Firmware, viperone Rom 2.4, now I've tried the T-Mobile version of the Rom and now I'm on the vzw version of the Rom. And I'd prefer to stay on this version of possible..but anyways, when I'm driving, on both versions , when I go between towers, my phone doesn't pick up the next towers, so I have to toggle airplane mode just to pick up signal again.....any ideas?

Anyone else experiencing weaker signal after converting?

The signal bars are calibrated differently. Looking at actual signal readings I see a +/-2dB difference which is negligible.
Gotcha. I believe there's a way to recalibrate the battery if I remember correctly.

Hmmm did you guys edit anything after running the Unlocked US RUU? I didn't edit anything and I left my SIM card in throughout the Unlock, S Off and RUU procedures. After finishing the RUU I rebooted when promoted in order to use the SIM card.

Nope also left my sim inside
Did nothing except lock upon soff
Welp, I've tried wiping caches, running RUU again, etc and nothing seems to work. Still getting weak/dropped signal in areas I normally get great receptions. Can't test the original radio from T-Mobile cause they've yet to release one sooo I'm SOL haha.

No issues at all. Actually, my signal improved tremendously after the conversion and first update. I get 4G/4 bars where I used to get Nothing. Very pleased with this mod.
I left my SIM in the entire time. Rebooted as described.
@scothern99 wish I could say the same lol

I guess signal is about the same even on the latest T-Mobile 1.8 update..
Sent from my HTC 10 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Its all in your head
The actual signal should be the same.... It's the display (in bars) that can differ cause different thresholds can be used to represent the amount of signal. T-Mobile's 1.21 (I think it was) firmware was complete crap by the way...

Sure was lol. Although i did experience some issues initially where I wasn't able to receive calls/text after converting to Unlocked US. Gave it a few days and it kinda sorted itself out. Decided to go back to T-Mobile US.

Yea that's why I always go by the dbm now. The range seems to fluctuate when I'm on Unlocked US. Now that I'm on the newest T-Mobile OTA the signal is pretty stable. I hardly got to experience 1.2 cause I made sure to update before setting up the phone lol. Signal is one of those things that kinda irks me about HTC phones, from my One S up to the HTC 10. Wasn't too big of an issue to sway me tho.

That's very weird cause I did the same thing without any major issues. I'm waiting for the latest T-Mobile ruu and ill probably end up doing the same
It's purely an aesthetic difference due to how the phone maps the signal.
If you modify the phone to 6 signal bars from 5 it will also do the same thing as it doesn't know how to use the gen unlocked signal mapping rules for the added bars or in this case doesn't know how to map the t-mobile signal using the wrong ruleset.
