Hi friends,
I bought this HTC One M7 blue in the US (Verizon one) unlocked, to be used in Argentina.
When in Argentina, I put the SIM card for my carrier, and it only works with EDGE (I can't connect to 3g speed). I've also tried other carriers in Argentina too, with same issue.
My carrier works in radio frequencies 850/1900 (they told me), now I need to understand how to make this phone works in these frequencies, could it be that Verizon blocked these frequencies hence I am connected through 2g only?
Looking forward for any of you to help me.
Thanks & Regards,
Roberto

Thanks @Uzephi, I have read posts of people installing cyanogen 12 and after that more HSPA bands were enabled, like 850/1900. But reading the FAQ seems to be a hardware limitation only to 900/1200, any idea if the phone has these bands (850/1900 for HSPA) at hardware level but disabled in the Verizon rom? Could that be possible?
Thanks

I have not seen those in this forum for the Verizon model. There was a few posts asking if it was possible. I do not know if it has been disabled in the firmware/radio or if the 850/1900 is missing altogether. Unless someone makes some NV edits to force 850/1900 at the firmware level, I do not see how hspa would work with this phone.

Well I have the same but in mexico and I could connect to 3g use DFSTOOL to force GSM bands but finished letting in CDMA with free internet you should try that, it freed for GSM?
Please use English next time
What bands on what carrier do you run? Was it the two bands in question? GSM has multiple band frequencies it can use.

Hello guys!
First let me give you some context. I'm from Argentina, got my Pixel XL yesterday, bought it from the US Play Store same as I did with my Nexus 6P and a friend sent it to me from Florida. The problem is I can't seem to get LTE no matter what I try. My Nexus 6P which I still have gets LTE in a sec with my carrier, and the Pixel XL that should have the same bands does not for some reason. APN configs are the same, called my carrier just in case and re-checked everything, nothing seems to work.
Also tried entering testing menu with *#*#4636#*#* to set preferred network type to LTE, nothing, no signal at all, but when I do this with my 6P it does get LTE.
Maybe anyone has an idea what I can try. I might try to flash a factory image just in case but it's just so weird I can't wrap my head around this.
Thanks!
Same problem here in Dominican Republic
Same problem here in Dominican Republic.
Same problem here ? Im desperate Claro Dominican Republic. It seems the LTE on the Pixel only works with US Carriers.

Guys, do you both have Claro in Dominican Republic? Why I ask? Because I have Claro too here in Argentina and today I tried with a friend's SIM card from a different Carrier (Personal Argentina) and got LTE in a second! So it's not a Pixel's problem!... or is it!?
Could it be something with Claro? I mean, if both of you have Claro this is some weird ****.
Run the LTE Discovery APP, screenshot both the NExus 6P and the Pixel, share it with us so we can compare.
Installen la applicacion LTE Discovery, saquen un screenshot de los dos telefonos y compartan aqui, para ver si podemos ayudar.

Lo malo es que el nexus 6p muestra unknown LTE, pienzo que deben llamar a suporte y decirles que nesecitan provisionar al pixel en sus sistemas.
The bad t hing is that the nexus 6p shows as unknown LTE. I think you guys need to call support and ask them provision the pixel on their systems.
And what does the app show with personal ? (both phones)
pispuso said:
Ambos dicen lo mismo si te fijas en las screens. Es raro, muy raro que nos este pasando lo mismo en dos paises distintos con la mismas bandas.
---------------------------
Both screenshots say the same if you check. It's really weird that we are having the same problem in two different countries with the same bands.

That also happens in the US with some phones and carriers. I've had to call and have them provision my phone, mainly with StraightTalk/Net10, afterwards it would work. They would tell me they had to add my IMEI so that the towers would allow access.
Eso pasa aqui tambien en EEUU con algunos telefonos y provedors. He tenido que llamarlos para que provisionen mi cellular, paso con StraightTalk/Net10, despues funccionaba. Me decian que tenian que agregar mi IMEI para que las torres lo acepten.

Armando, am I wrong or you work in Claro? Did you try using a new Nano SIM Card? Try provisioning your phone in the system? I'll try to do this on Monday and check if that could be a problem, I don't know.

Also did anyone else with this problem tried flashing NDE63P OTA Image from Google and try again? I might do this later since I didn't receive the OTA.
EDIT: Just updated to NDE63P and still the same. Found a couple more people with the same problem in India where their Nexus 6P also worked but the Pixel is not working.

Google fix options:
1) block all device use outside USA
2) Wait for Cocchiararo to cancel his order, then fix it for real

Well it looks like we are out of luck for now at least until Google acknowledges this problem. I tried contacting Android Police, sent mails to Google Support, everything I could to give visibility to this but still no news.
The phone is so new that there is no info about this, but in the coming weeks everyone outside US will have this problems if they use Band 4.

Band 4 aws 1700/2100 is tmobile in the us. But tmobile att and verzion all use band 4 lte.
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Chea...on-T-Mobile-and-Sprint-use-in-the-USA_id77933
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks
In Argentina Claro, Movistar and Personal all use band 4. In the wiki it shows Claro and Movistar use 10Mhz and Personal uses 15Mhz, there's the difference.
Most reported that Personal works fine on LTE. That means theres nothing wrong with the Pixel, its the Carrier.

I beg to differ. Many carriers around the world use the same configuration of 10Mhz. I understand the difference between Personal and the other two in this matter but tell me then how is that every other unlocked phone from US (including the Nexus 6P) has no problem at all to connect to any LTE network here but the Pixel has?

Like I said before in Spanish, I really don't think the carrier will be able to fix it, how can a 6P work and not the Pixel, a phone with the same bands... either way @GeeX let us know what they tell you.
The November security update ending in letter V has the newest radio.. Maybe try flashing the build and see if it works..

I wanna to buy a Galaxy Active2 LTE unlocked in my trip on EUA, and I'm living on Brazil.
Can I use LTE by Claro operator?
Claro has ESim technology.
But... I don't know the frequencieson EUA and if I can use the LTE here on Claro Brazil.
Info by GSM ARENA https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_watch_active2-9784.php#44mm-lte
There are all frequencies in same smartwatch? Or by region?
Claro use 850/2100MHz 3G and 4G
English translation:
Even if it's the same frequency this e-sim stop is from device to device.
mesmo que sejam as mesmas frequências essa parada de e-sim é de aparelho pra aparelho.

Hi everyone, recently I bought a POCO F3, and put my sim card, and using normally to navigate and gaming, every fine, but, I'm travel to city with 5G, and for my disgusting surprise, my POCO F3 5G, don't have an option to select and use 5G network!
I made a lot of tests with my SIM Card, and in my spouse iPhone 12 Pro and my 6th gen iPad Mini, the 5G work well with my SIM, unfortunately in POCO F3, it's not!
I'm using the latest MIUI Global 12.5.4 Stable OTA, I'm never flashed or unlocked the bootloader or make any mod to my device!

Running on 12.5.6.0 Global Stable, my plan does not have 5G so I limited it to LTE hoping that it might save battery.

My plan have 5G if covered, in any other devices (iPad Mini 6th gen and iPhone 12 Pro) 5G works well with my SIM, in POCO F3, the option it's not shown!
I believe this not about carrier ou network, but a issue in MIUI 12.5.4!
At next weekend, I'm go back to home, and flash some custom ROMs to get a prove for myself, that it a Xiaomi stock ROM problem!
Funny how people say it's because of supported frequencies and stuff like that!!!
When the phone doesnt show an option to choose 5g, it's obviously not caused by the simcard!
For some weird reason your phone shows options that arent supposed to be there, like the "LTE only" option that is usually not there on any phone.
Here's a suggestion. Dial this code on your phone *#*#4636#*#* and then go to phone info 1 and then there is a scrollable list option that will allow you to choose from a variety of network options, look for those which have NR. Those are 5g networks and choose one of them, see if your phone gets connected to 5g networks.
My other guess is that you might be using your simcard on the second sim slot and it doesnt have 5g capabality on that slot but Im not sure about that because I think both slots are 5g capable. Again, I've never tried the second slot...
I can choose 5g only on My first SIM.
Try to change sim slot
Hi,
Just wanted to add my input to this.
In my country 5G is enabled by the carrier based on the approved, tested and certified devices.
With the same Poco F3 device I have 5G with my main carrier.
If I change the sim to another 5G provider I do not have the 5G network since the device is not approved on that 5G network.
As a result it was using LTE network.
SIM slot doesn't matter. 5G is enabled to one of the two slots as long as the carrier allows it.
I have tested this with my main carrier and 2 SIMs.
You need to swap the primary data card in the options
In any case supported or unsupported carrier the option was there for 5G network.
5G is supported on sim 2 only, chnage the slot and try again. Sim 1 is 4G LTE. Atleast that's my phone shows.
Cara, estou com o mesmo problema no POCO F3 e também moro em SP.
Vc conseguiu resolver ?

Recently, im put ArrowOS on my F3, and before change the ROM, the 5G option its appear in SIM 1 and SIM 2, i'm just switched the sim card (the most weird, the same SIM that not show 5G in F3, appear and using 5G normally in my wife iPhone 12 Pro), Im bougth another carrier SIM (Claro), and put on F3, and, for my surprise, 5G works fine! I dont know what's happen, but now, i'm using my old SIM (vivo) on slot 2 with 4G, and the new (Claro) on slot 1, with 5G!
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Poco F3 only supports 5G on SIM1
It doesnt matter whether you have 1 or 2 sims, as long as the SIM is inserted in sim1 slot, it will support 5G
Edit: the people commented before me seem to have different opinions, what i wrote was based on random scrolls, my country doesnt have 5G, so, i dont have personal experience with it

5G works on both sim slots. Have actually tested this with two 5G carriers in NZ. Then again this is 5G non standalone so it still relies on LTE/4G for uploads and to latch onto our 5G networks here.
