I can't seem to find the answer I'm looking for. In order to get LTE am I required to have a LTE sim card? Or the proper APN should work?
Fido doesnt have micro sim lte cards. Only standard size which means I need to cut to fit. Furthermore, I get no where calling them. They can't answer one question I have.
Thanks !

You do need an lte sim card.
Fido have micro/nano LTE sim card. http://www.fido.ca/web/page/portal/Fido/SmartCard
You might also need an lte data plan, and the right APN settings.

I finally did get a regular size LTE card... they are RARE but im using a galaxy note and im pulling about 23-25MB/s but It keeps bouncing between that and 4G so I know its in the baby stages but yeah the LTE stuff is all equipment base. If the LTE settings that auto come up doesnt work just delete it and make your own it ltemobile.apn and it should work. I had to do it with mines.
You need both apn set up and the lte sim card. I think a micro lte sim released with iphone 5 launch so you can get that, otherwise, you can buy a regular sim and cut it to fit the micro sim slot.

I'm pretty sure the iPhone 5 uses a even smaller sim.
Thanks all for the help. Lte isn't here where I currently live but it is where I work. And I can't see changing my account would make a difference but maybe its worth a shot

From fido: Can I use my existing Data add-on for LTE?
Yes, all our existing voice and data plan as well as data add-ons are LTE ready and most of our older data add-on are also LTE ready! This means the only requirements to be able to access LTE are a Fido LTE SIM card, a LTE device and to be within the Fido LTE network.
LTE in Toronto is fully operational, and it works well. They only have standard sizes, like you said and require cut. I'm getting 30-50 mbps down, 10-20 mbps up.

Yeah iphone 5 uses nano sim. Smaller than micro.
I'm also pretty certain that the towers where Rogers has deployed LTE, Fido users will associate to. All Fido phones are connected to Rogers towers, seeing as Rogers owns Fido.

Yes They do now. it's been implemented in august. Just go to a fido retailer that has sim cards make sure it says lte, have them cut to fit (some of them have the sim cutter) as they only have standard size and nano. Pop it in Your unlocked sgs3. go in settings>more settings> mobile networks>access point names and select fido lte.
Don't forget to thank me if that was helpful to you.
No lte
Here's the thing: the fido Site says lte is 2100/2600, but the S3 uses 1700/700 for lte. If fido uses Rogers towers, would it not make sense that they use the networks as well?
When I go to Kanata I had lte on my iphone 5, and now when I bomb around there I'm not getting lte on my s3. I have an lte apn set up the way fido and everyone else has said to, but it's just not coming thru...
Can anyone give me any insight?
Just wanted to link to this post I made in the Fido forums for anyone having trouble getting LTE setup!

Ive searched many threads but cant find an answer. I carrier unlocked my T Mobile Note 2 and use it with AT&T. I see many people have done this but those people get at least 3G speeds. Im getting Edge only speeds. I added the APN wap.cingular and tried the PTA one. PTA doesnt work and wap.cingular is how I get edge speeds. What can I do?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
You'll need to install an ATT compatible radio to get 3g. I don't even know if one exists, but I'd try googling something like "use T-Mobile note 2 on AT&T" or something like that.

That is not accurate.
I have a T889 that is unlocked. When I put my AT&T SIM card into it, I get 3G speeds comparable to my regular AT&T devices.
I didn't do any kind of modem flashing or other tweaks. I might have had to enter the proper APN settings, it's been sb while so I don't recall for sure, but I know for a fact that nothing else was needed.

The ROM I'm using (based off an international Note 2) seems to have AT&T APN settings built into it, but they seem similar to one's I've input manually when on the stock ROM.
I just shoved my AT&T SIM into the phone and confirmed HSPA+ service being received, although it's a pitiful 3 Mb/s around here. That's the same I got on my One X with the same SIM just before putting it in the Note 2 to get you these settings.
Here's some screenshots for you to coy the APN settings from.

if you use dialer code *#*#4636#*#* .. can you access the pop-up menu? You can enable LTE/UMTS in this section...
Same Problem
I just went to AT&T to get a new micro sim, called cust service to change my imei ( though not the actual international one ) to make sure I'm on the right plan, but after testing the phone and PTA APNs I'm still only getting Edge speeds ..if anyone can help that would be great!
ok is there a rom that work right out the box for some sort of data with my prepaid at&t sim card i can make calls get mms, but cant get data i really need some sort of data working today i am rooted, unlocked and have no idea if i should be useing some sort of at&t kernal, or just changeing the apn, which has not worked yet?
can some one please direct me to the right thread or something
So you have a Tmobile T999 with an ATT prepaid sim?
I don't remember for sure so hopefully someone else can confirm, but I don't think the T999 can get better than 3g on ATTs network.
But if you're using the ATT sim, you'll be on their network so you may need to either unlock the phone and/or put in the correct ATT apn.
Sent from my SGH-T999L using xda premium
It will use HSPA on At&t no problem. Sounds like an APN issue. Your best bet is to go to the At&t forum and flash an At&t rom. Just make sure not to flash an At&t radio. Data should work out of the box on an At&t build.

I think it will use HSPA+ but only difference is that att hspa+ is not 42mg like on tmobile. I was getting around 7mg with my friends att sim on my t999.

This is correct. at&t uses the older HSDPA 7/14 and HSPA 21 depending on where you are located. They opted to go to LTE instead of a dual carrier configuration for their HSPA+
What service do you have with the prepaid att service? Did you have to get a new sim card? I looked everywhere on here, but didn't see anything
I have tried going through all threads inT-Mobile S4 forums to find a solution but to no avail. I have a T-mobile S4 that is unlocked. I can get Lte on the tmobile network fine. However, when I pop my AT&T sim, I can only get 4g. The At&t sim is provisioned for lte, as it gets lte on my iphone5. I have tried various apn settings, the network selection menu also. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here are my current APN settings:

I am running stock Tmobile rom,, flashed using ODIN. I also previously tried GoldenEye and GE 4.3 ROM.
Update: read somewhere that iphone lte sim needs to be updated with att for the android lte plan. So I tried using a friends ATT S3 sim with working lte on my s4, but did not get lte
Have you tried changing the Network Mode? Make sure you have LTE/GSM/WCDMA (auto connect) selected. This is right below the APN settings.

yes. tried that. it is lte/gsa/wcdma. also tried to do lte only, and dont get any data doing that.
Dude I'm so glad that you posted this because I'm going through the exact same thing except that I do get LTE but my speeds are very bad considering that there LTE speeds.now I have the exact same APN settings as you mentioned above and I also have my s4 unlocked and on a custom ROM slimbeam latest 4.3 beta but its seems that att not give me full speeds and the reason I'm saying this is because my wife's s3 on straight talk att sim higher speeds on h+ and me on LTE

Make sure you give ATT an LTE capable phone's IMEI and that it is registered to their network. You can just go to the ATT store and use the IMEI of any of their LTE capable phones.
I've been doing some research on buying a At&t sim to test to see if my phone is truly unlocked. I've read At&t has 2 separate types of SIM. One for iPhone and one for the other phones. It's possible you have a sim card meant for only iPhones and At&t's system will only acknowledge the LTE if it was an iPhone (or something like that). Try going into a At&t store and have them make it work for you.

I called and gave then my imei but my speeds are still 3-5 Mbps on LTE and 5-9 on h+ and if they don't improve I'm switching to straight talk att Sim which is higher on h+ but cheaper a month.the only thing I can think that's happening is LTE was berly released here and there still working on getting all things right

I have a T Mobile Galaxy s4 m919. I got an Straight Talk ATT SIM card. I put the apn settings that Straight Talk gave and everything worked fine except for receiving mms pictures. I tired various settings and nothing worked. I called Straight Talk and that did not help. Finally I decide to try one more thing. I did a complete factory restore and reinterred the Apn settings that Straight Talk gave me; mms started working. I guess there were some settings that were blocking the S.T. Apn settings and the factory restore fixed the problem. I hope this helps.
Why are you using St and att services do you not have tmobile Lte where you live? I don't have tmobile Lte where I live it sucks.lol I was thinking about getting net 10's unlimited plan for I can get Lte service at home.Isnt net 10 and St the same company? Who would you recommend me using in my tmobile Gs4 for Lte service st, net10 or att? Where and how much did you pay for your sim card.Isnt att totally unlimited plan cost $60 a month with 2 Gigs of data and St & net10 cost $45 a month with 2.5 Gigs of data? Do it matter where you live at in the u.s. for as far as how good your data speeds will be? I'm rooted with tmobiles stock 4.3 rom and my Gs4 is unlocked.I would greatly appreciate any information you can give me to my questions. Thanks

I don't have t mobile lte where I live. I paid 6.95 for the sim through Walmart and pay 45 plus tax for unlimited talk and text with 2 gig of data. Net 10 and straight talk are owned by tracfone, so go with straight talk and get the att4g lte sim. My speeds, I can't answer because att has 4 g speeds in my town and with t mobile I had 2g or edge speeds.

Yes, it will work just fine. Talk and text works right off the bat, just set up APN settings for Data.
As he said, no LTE. Just 4G. Which is decent enough.
