[Q] Z1 Compact D5503 Won't Connect to T-mobile LTE - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently bought 2 unlocked Z1 Compacts and no matter what APN settings I try I just can't get them to connect to T-mobile's LTE network. I am in NYC so the network is there and the phones can find and identify the network, they just can't connect. When I manually select T-mobile LTE it gives me a "Could not select network. Make Sure the SIM card is inserted or the selected network is available." I even tried out new SIM cards to see if my old SIMs were the problem. Anyone have an ideas or suggestions? Could this be something on T-mobiles end? Thanks for any help.

Is it possible that having wi-fi on while trying to connect to lte is causing the problems?

Doubt this will help but...
With WIFI off, and your correctly-entered APN activated, go to Settings, More, Mobile Networks, and see if the Network Mode is set to LTE preferred.
Or.. Dial *#*#4636#*#* , then go to Phone Info, then scroll downward to the drop-down. Try LTE/GSM auto (PRL)? That's the one I have it on (although it was automatically set)

I double checked and all of those settings seem properly set. I have been playing around with the LTE Discovery program to see if my phone could even find the LTE signal and it doesn't seem to even seen to pick up any signal even when T-mobile LTE is listed amongst the service providers. in the settings.

You could try looking up your carriers APN info and re-inputting it to your phone under settings/wireless&data networks/ Mobie Networks, you should then either see your APN settings or you might need to press menu, then APN settings. Cant remembr off hand mine is different then yours as mine is CDMA jus going off of memory..... please reply if this works or not

[Q] 3G Dongle

Hello experts,
I Searched for it, but no answers. I have a external 3G dongle that i use in some cases, when I travel to visit a client for example. But I literary don't use it at home, and my Data Plan the speed are to slow, up to 300 kbps, and after downloading 10MB per day, it slow down to 50 kbps, yes it is slow!
As i have a 3g dongle at home, I've bought this connector:

}
I Connect the 3G dongle but nothing happened =/. I removed my sim card and let just the 3G, but nothing happened, I pressed the button search network operators and the blue light of 3G dongle turned on for 1 sec, and showed me all the operators. But I'm not able to use it as a modem.
I know that tablets are able to do it, but them don't have a 3G inside, so the setting are able to handle just 1 connection when you connect a 3G dongle you have just to enable the data on settings, but in our case if we enable it will use the sim's card data, not the 3G dongle.
There is a way to do it? how?
I'm using the stock rom, rooted.
Thanks in Advance!

This is in Sugar Land, TX. Looks like it does work!! Haven't done a speed test, since my phone is on a prepaid plan on 2G speeds Might be able to find someone with an unlimited plan and try to run one later!
Just wanted to share that there is finally some proof that it will work on T-Mo LTE
------Edit------
Clarification: I'm using a US Version AT&T Lumia 900 that was unlocked by an AT&T supplied code.
Not too impressive, faster than HSPA+ here. But it did just come on lol.
Did you change any setings or just insert the sim card ?

Changed my APN from epc.tmobile.com to fast.t-mobile.com, that's all. You think there was more I should have done?

no I was just curious
I also would like to say that I was so surprised when I saw LTE on my phone. Right now I'm in Baltimore and I just unlocked my L900. First I saw no bars on my phones, so I was a little scared. But after a couple of seconds I saw 4G (what was surprising enough), and then LTE. I couldn't believe. I used to have L810 in TMobile, but this was so surprising.

Lock H+ network

Hi
How can I lock my note 2 n7100 just use h+ and not any other network I am not rooted and I tried some dial codes which non of them worked .
Look at attached images go to settings>> connections >> more networks >> mobile networks >> network selection >>> WCDMA , once you choose WCDMA wherever 3G is available it will be locked to it you won't get 2G/Edge speeds if 3G ain't available in the area it would just disconnect

[Q] Apn settings

Hello, i've just bought LG G3, its a sprint version. I live in pakistan i want to use mobile data but it doesnt show apn settings. Please help

You will need to contact your service provider (network) for their APN information.
There is a possibility that the sprint version may not support all the bands required for your network as well, for instance if the phone only supports bands 1,3,6,9, and your provider only broadcasts on 1,2,5,8 your phone will only be able to pick up service from band 1.
What network provider are you running?
I know about the apn information but the problem is the phone doesnt show any apn settings in it where i can create a new apn of my network. It's Telenor.
Settings > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names
You should have the ability to add new APN's through this menu
Looks like you didnt see the picture in my first post. The ACCESS POINT NAMES option is unavailable.
Picture isn't showing for me, only a broken link icon.
Is the phone running a stock, unrooted rom?
edit: From LG G3 Sprint forums (http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3) ; here and here
Perhaps you're better off posting the question there, seems as if others are having the same issue.
Best of luck!
