Hi guys,
I've received an XT1789-04 (T-Mobile version),
after checking the spec., I still cannot figure it out whether it can support LTE-A
I would wonder to know do XT-1789-04 support LTE-A (either 2CA or 3CA)?. thanks
for the website(Phonemore.com), it seems can support LTE-A, but I cannot find 4G+ or enable LTE-A
4G network LTE Cat9 700/800/850/900/1700/1800/1900/2100/2300/2600 (Bands 1,2,3,4,5,7,8,12,17,20,25,26,28,29,30)

Yes it's very hidden just like audio equalizer I used shortcut master lite to get dial codes to work if you need any help I'll check back
That one apn resets the apns and let's you enter the ones you want instead of TMobile I'm still learning on shortcut master you don't use secret codes you load apps forgot to tell you that

can you teach how to do it in detail? thanks
With shortcut app I didn't do codes I displayed all apps went to Sprint dm one I believe I'm sorry it took a sec i bought a few new devices still have Moto
in bootloader i used qcom mode it brings the hidden menu out im playing around with bp tools trying to help get right the Java error is in the manifest.xml I'm working on ideas other then changing that
I don't understand what you did to enable the LTE-A bands on T mobile Moto Z2 Force. "Sprint DM" entry exists in App Explorer of Shortcut Master Lite with 16 items. What did you do in Sprint DM?

While messing with the setting in the hidden Menu.
I unlock the T-Mobile LTE Network on My US Cellular GS3
Internet: T-Mobile US LTE
Band: LTE:14
Data Speeds 20mbps down 3.6 mbps up
Mms: Works Flawless
Now My Problem. i cant make a phone call or receive a phone call
My Setting
Hidden Menu: *#22745927
enable hidden menu
*#197328640#
[1] UMTS > DEBUG SCREEN > PHONE CONTROL > NETWORK CONTROL > BAND SELECTION to set GSM Band preference
[2] CDMA > COMMON > NEXT PAGE > NEXT PAGE > PREF MODE SET to select GSM/WCDMA ONLY
SIM>TEST CSIM
WAIT 90 SECONDS THE REBOOT
VOILA! TMOBILE LTE.
Now i have succesfully unlock The Verison GS3 to Tmobile on Edge is there a way to port that radio. to get cell connectivity.
or if anyone want to try to tweak these settings to get more than just LTE connection. or get Voice over LTE working!
I do believe that you need the HSPA radio to make phone calls as T-Mobile does not yet support VoLTE.

What are you doing for apn setting? There are 3 for tmo-us that I know of. 1)gsm 2)lte 3)lte ipv6. You may have to down load an apn app. Apn manager pro worked well for me or offline sim apn database. Not sure what you use for network mode settings but use build prop editort open it up and find the settings telephony.lteoncdmadevice & telephony.lteongsmdevice use value 1 on both. Add lines if not there. This may open up more network types under setting/...network mode. Google build prop edit or tweaks to find more info. Good luck.
i535 radio/modem
Been thinking about you question to swap modems. Do not use the i535. The modem that would be ideal I believe is the r530m. That is metro PC variant. T-Mobile merged with the.... Do I need to explain more? Any how I can not say it will even work. I will say that T999L is no good. Found out first hand and still dead in the water with it. I would explore the APN settings and network selection modes with build prop mods before flashing. I am not even sure about the LTE bands and who has what and where. If I am able to revive my 530u I will see what I can find.
Where can I get the r530m modem? Can't find it anywhere.

So, is it possible to flash the R530M modem????
One of the good things about the gs6 is the ability to for b12 and even better ability to choose preferred band in automatic mode.
Does the m9 have some sort of ability like that?
You are talking about the WIFI channel 12 (which is illegal to put your WIFI on in the US)?
Actually I think he is talking about forcing a specific LTE band... (in this case LTE Band 12 which I think is for T-Mobile). Specifically accessing the LTE Band service menu.
For any Samsung device you would enter *#2263# and the "LTE Band" service menu would open up and you can force a specific band. IF this is what he is talking about, it’s actually a great feature because you can "lock in" LTE to a specific band, I use to do this all the time in the Philippines so I wouldn't get kicked off the LTE band. You can also see what LTE bands the phone supports.
When I had the M9, I looked everywhere and tried to find the code to access the LTE menu but I was unsuccessful. Maybe someone here has the code to access the LTE service Band menu. There were some generic codes that work for Google in general BUT none of them worked on the M9.
Try *#*#4636#*#*

*#2263# doesn't work for me
But yes LTE band 12
##DATA# on Sprint lets you do something like this, but I believe that code is Sprint-specific.
I have a SM-G928V on t-mobile network and it works fine. According to SS website band 12 is supported unlike the S6 and the S6e.

Sorry. I rarely use txt & MMS. I pretty much use Hangouts and Viber to chat with everyone I know.
By the way, if touch tone DTMF is not working, try to change the DTMF from Short to Long in Phone settings.
I have a T-Mobile edge and edge plus, both have band 12. One of the offices i work at only gets band 12.

Ofc the tmo S6 has band 12 support. I meant the verizon S6.

It's the same one that's everywhere online for TMO LTE, it's not device specific, in fact the same settings are used for all LTE enabled phones, even iPhones. I'd be shocked if it wasn't either the 1st or 2nd result after a Google search.
I once had Verizon Edge+, and used it on T-Mobile.
Add and use the following APN.
Name t-mobile US
apn
fast.-tmobile.com
mmsc http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile/mms/wapenc
apn type default,supl,mms
Leave all other settings as is.
For MMS to work, make sure you add "mms" in APN Type field.
Moreover, once in a while, you'll get an annoying popup saying that the sim card is not Verizon etc. If rooted, just use Titanium Backup and freeze the "activation" apk. If not rooted, use Package Disabler Pro, and the disable the aforementioned apk.
Good luck.
the issue is in you are using Verizon S6 Edge+ on Tmobile network, you can't use data while on phone call.
it doesn't pickup band 12, only works on band 4 etc, which loose the data if phone call picked up.'
is there any way around?

My note 3 did this going from verizon to tmobile. A workaround i found was to switch the network settings from 4g or global to 3g or 2g only and then make the call. Touch tone would work, then after hanging up switch network settings back to 4g or global. Hope this helps you.

I'm currently using the AT&T H810 on Cricket Wireless and am wondering how to get the data to work with this Verizon variant. I can make calls when I put my Cricket SIM card in, but I get no data. Any ideas or anyone already get this working? Thanks!
Did you change the APN settings? Also, AT&T uses LTE bands: 2, 4, 5, and 17 primarily. The Verizon G4 doesn't have band 17. so you are not going to get very good coverage in buildings or at far distances from the tower.

I didn't but I think cricket did it remotely when I put the SIM card in, how do I check? Also is it possible to unlock band 17? I've seen posts here and there talking about unlocking different bands on variants which don't have them unlocked by default. Thanks.

I know I had to put the APN settings in myself when using a T-Mobile SIM. I would Google "Cricket APN Settings" and then go to the settings on your phone (under more I believe), and edit the APN. You can't unlock band 17 unfortunately.

Yeah, why can't we unlock band 17? I tried using a few methods listed where you write to the NV ITEMS and enable all kinds of bands, but it still didn't work. I only got LTE when I force it via a hidden menu setting, but then I couldn't make or receive any calls. I get HSPA and HSPA+ but that's it and there's a constant icon in the notification bar of a white sim card with a question mark on it...!?

Because the phone doesn't support it. You can't unlock bands that the phone doesn't have to begin with.

Is there anything special to get calls to work on Cricket ? Updated APN settings for data but calls still did work.

When I tested with my Cricket SIM card calls just worked. I didn't have to do anything. However as you mentioned I had to manually update the APN to get data working.

That is odd. I wonder if I met someone at a Cricket wireless there if techs would help getting it working.
Hi, I am new to the forum and want to share my experience about LTE BandSelection.
As discussed in the previous thread, you can access to Verizon Hidden Menu called LTEBANDSELECTION. By default, Band2 Band4 Band13 are checked and Band5 is unchecked. However, from LG website LTE 3/7 is supported for Roaming, but those bands are not on the list.
I can confirm that at least Band3 is working because I am on a carrier that uses Band8 and Band3. The problem is that, when I try to change the LTE band selections above (ex: adding Band5 to the list), it seems that LTE3/7 is not working anymore. After changing it once, I only get 3G signal without any LTE. The only way that I can get the Band3 signal again is going back to the original stock rom (13b) again.
It is weired that there is no hidden menu to select Band3/7. Do you have any idea on this problem? Thanks!
