I have a Verizon HTC One that has been flashed to cricket. I can call, text, and i get 3G data. i was wondering if i could get 4G on Crickets new gsm network. would the radios be compatible? i would love to be able to get 4g on this phone on cricket? is there a way to unlock the 1900 band for LTE with S-OFF?
i dont know if i can get MMS yet but ill try and update.
The lte radio on the Verizon m7 is locked to the 700mhz spectrum band 13. I'm pretty sure there isn't any way to get lte on another network with this device.
@disconnecktie is correct. Only mvno that you would get 4G is one that uses Verizon towers. I don't think cricket sources to Verizon.

So I know it obviously works on AT&T network but will it work on Verizon, T-Mobile or sprint?
Tmo only gets edge for me. Wondering if its compatible on other networks. Any workarounds I'm missing?
Have a feeling I'm stuck to att if I want 3g 4g... =[
That's correct. Only T-Mobile uses the GSM network that AT&T uses, but they use them on different bands so the high-speed data is typically only going to work on one network or the other. Sprint uses EVDO and Verizon uses CDMA (if I remember correctly), so phones for each of those networks will ONLY work on that network.
I tested my unlocked Nitro on an H20 wireless sim (which just piggybacks ATT) and it worked fine. The icon was even SAYING. I had 4G. A lot of 3rd party wireless companies are still using att technically, but great as a cheaper data alternative that avoid contracts.
I plan on using this phone off contract with a carrier like that once my Verizon deal expires in February.
Hope that helps.

Does anybody notice that Verizon is now using a Sim card, just like AT&T and T-Mobile? That's because their LTE network runs on the Sim Card and not built into the phone, like CDMA...
So technically, yes, you may be able to insert a verizon LTE card into your phone, and it might work, but you most definitely won't get their LTE connection.
You know what, I should try this at work tomorrow. My coworker has a Rezound. we can switch Sims and see if it works on both phones.
Make sure you have the proper LTE APN settings for each carrier or you won't see LTE or squat!
LOL!! I forgot about that. thx Repherb.
Will the international HTC one x work with T-Mobile 4g?
Thanks in advance!

I was told no it will not. So, I went and got a prepaid Verizon Jetpack Hotspot because using their wifi is actually LTE...not bad with a $25 prepaid AT&T card

Tmo in the US uses 1700 MHz for its 4g data afaik which is not compatible with the Intl. One X. You will not be able to use 4g data.
Tmobile doesn't really have 4g out yet, they do promise to roll out LTE later. If you wait for winter quarter 2012, Tmobile promised that they will refarm 1900 for HSPA , therefore the international HOX will be able to run its 3g speed on Tmobile, which is 21mbps I think.
T-Mobile HAS BEGUN the process of refarming their 1900 mHz band to HSPA+. That being said, there are still many places that only get EDGE service on the One X. It will take some time to complete the refarming process.

I just switched away from T-Mobile due to their coverage map being a bit....optimistic. None of the major us carriers support 4g yet. What they call 4g is actually more like 3.9g. It is more correct to call it LTE than 4g. Having said that, the global hox supports most of the frequencies that tmobile uses, just not in the way that T-Mobile uses them. The best you can get with a global hox on T-Mobile is 2G. My suggestion is to use att or an att compatible prepay carrier. You can get their 3g network which usually has decent seed.

42Mbps Of course that's only theoretical though, but that's what they advertise their HSPA+ network as in the largest cities.
Doesn't Metro PCS use the same LTE bands that the Verizon HTC One supports? I'd like to use the One with Metro PCS but I'd like to make sure that it would work properly - especially a good data connection and from my research the Sprint HTC One wouldn't have 4G on Metro. Also I know Metro PCS will flash the phone for me to use on their network but do they gimp the web use on it so that the data usage is a bit limited? Am I wrong or should I go ahead and buy the phone outright and have it flashed over?
Nope, not possible. Verizon mainly uses 700 MHz (band 13) for LTE while MetroPCS uses AWS (band 4). Even though Verizon is testing AWS LTE in a few markets, I'm not sure if the Verizon One even supports that band.
If you want a One, why not get the T-Mobile version instead? They acquired Metro a few months back and are going to merge the two LTE networks while shutting down CDMA. Look at their coverage map now and you'll see it's an exact duplicate of T-Mobile's.
Hello, I have a Verizon phone, which I unlocked and I am using with MetroPCS sim card. Everything works except I don't have 4G. I have internet but not 4G. Some ideas how I can fix that and actually use the 4G? Thanks!

Read the post above yours. It has the answer. You cannot enable a band that the phone doesn't have in it's radio. Verizon band 13 is different than band 4.

the only success ive had with flashing a Verizon phone to metro was 3g data only. i was never able to get LTE to connect and i tried everything i could think of.
The CDMA editor only let me go so far but i know you can get 3g and evdo to work on their network with some elbow grease and free time.

3G is better then E right? What is this CDMA editor that you're talking about and how does it work? What needs to be done?
Thanks in advance!

I couldn't find any confirmation on whether the HTC One can run on the AWS spectrum. Verizon's site just says 4G LTE - 700MHz, so I'm guessing that it does not?

Nope! T-Mobile HTC version supports the HSPA+ AWS service though. What is odd is the GPE doesn't support HSPA+ AWS

Nope. They simply don't want you to know it. As far as I know Verizon will active it on htc one with software update. Correct me if i'm wrong.
I'm running a straight talk SIM in my Verizon htc one. Only get edge data although Verizon says it has umts and the 1900 bands. Not sure if anything has to be done to get anything better. Pop that SIM inside my droid DNA and I get hspa speeds.

I used my wifes At&t upgrade and after unlocking M8 I am trying out T-Mobiles $30 pre paid plan but I am only getting 2G signal. Is there a way to to enable LTE or do I need to flash a T-Mobile radio? I have verified all APN settings are correct. TIA
Yes you need to flash.
You should be able to get LTE on T-Mobile with an AT&T M8, but you won't get HSPA in the 1700 MHz band.
