Hi guys,
I'm using an unlocked telus amaze 4g and it won't connect with rogers 3g/4g connection. It feels like I'm connected to edge or something. No "H" or anything on the signal bars at all.
I tried a couple of apn's including the apn settings from my rogers Samsung galaxy s 2 LTE and still not working.
I just realized now that I'm still using my rogers LTE sim from my rogers galaxy s2 LTE. I'm not sure if that matters or not at all. Ill also keep an eye out when I'm out of my place to see if the signal gets better and if it is then I'll know that the radio of the amaze isn't quite as good compared to the galaxy s 2 LTE.

flash quiksense see it should auto do it for you
but not sure if the telus one has 6 band support
Lol i was on wifi from hime and when stepped out and no internet what so ever.
My guess would be the LTE sim card. Ill try a non LTE rogers sim tomorrow and let you guys know of the outcome.
Sorry new with HTC device since coming from a Samsung device.

I'm also using an unlocked Telus Amaze on Rogers. Did you enter the APN settings for Rogers? If not it's required.
Good luck!

Thanks bud, I figured it out eventually as well after looking at the developer part of the amaze forum.
-----------
I don't know if it was necessary but what I did was purchased a non LTE sim card from rogers but it didn't pick up the proper APn so I had to manually enter the APN settings. I'm not sure if my LTE sim could have worked before since i didn't have the right APN before.
Here's what I'm using now as for the APN, I kind a googled this and found it on the Atrix forum.
name: rogers
apn: rogers-core-appl1.apn
server: 172.25.0.107
mmsc: http://mms.gprs.rogers.com
mms proxy: 10.128.1.69
mms port: 80
mcc: 302
mnc: 720
apn type: default,supl.mms
Seems to be working for me now since I now have internet and I could see 3g & H+ beside the signal bar now.

I've saw some of the others but not this one. Thanks in advance.
You get "4g" with the settings that Straight Talk gives you. You will not get 4G LTE from straight talk. It will be awesome when/if they do though

Thanks. I'm still a noob and still learning all the time.
It should because they use at&t towers.

They may use the towers but the APN doesnt allow LTE usage as far as i know. The pta APN that's the default on the note only works for at&t accounts.

LTE has to be turned on by AT&T. I went from a Sony Xperia Play to the note and they had to record my info in order to activate LTE. From what I was told it is based on your Sim type.
Despite having this turned on, sadly there is no LTE service in my area. I guess I should have stayed with my 4G APN and service settings.
Hey guys,
I'm kind of new to android stuff, so bear with me .
About a week back I bought this Motorola Photon 4g for Sprint off craigslist and used the kddi radii trick to make it work on GSM networks, namely T-Mobile. Right now imeon the hybrid 2.3.5 rom, but even when I was in the stock sprint rom, the carrier name randomly shows up as T-Mobil instead of T-Mobile. Is there any way to fix this other than spoofing the carrier name? Thanks for the help!
From what I know, the name is stored in SIM card, try to replace it with carrier.
Thanks, I'll try that. I'm actually planning on doing that soon anyway . The strange thing is it sometimes shows the full name T-Mobile, I'm still trying to figure that out haha

Where is the trick?
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
My phone does this too, I'm not sure why. To me it seems like it says 'T-Mobil' when signal is pretty weak, but i have overall weak signal in my apartment so it could just be me making a bad guess.
same thing
i also have the same thing, but i haven't noticed it till you have mention it.
i guess it belongs to 2G/3G. coz when you are having connected to 2G it tells you T-mobil
while when you are connected to 3G it tells you T-mobile.
pleas tell me if i'm right
Can you not get tmobiles 4g or is it because bootloader is unlocked?

Tmobiles 4g is HSPA+ which is technically 3g
Jellybean Poppin MoPho
You guys must be in the refarm area cause the 3g frequencies are the same as the iPhone's. I'm still waiting on that . Btw I got a new SIM and it hasn't said T-mobil yet so maybe it's just a certain kind of sim that does it?

Hey guys, I just ported over my number and switched over from Verizon to the One on T-Mobile. As I'm typing this, I'm still on my Verizon Galaxy S4 since I currently only have a temporary T-Mobile number until the switch is complete.
Anyhow, I don't believe I have LTE right now. My coworker has the One and was pulling down almost 30mbps and I can't even hit 2mbps. Play Store downloads are slow, etc.
I live in San Diego which has LTE. I have attached a couple screen shots of what I'm seeing. Am I connected to LTE? Could it be that I won't get it until my switch is complete? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

I work for T-Mobile and also have the One and no your not on LTE. You are on hspa+. Kind of like 4g lite. When you are in a 4g LTE area, you will a tiny 4g then below it the letters LTE. Hope that helps. Update to the newest software update to get better signal out of the One

It won't work either for one of two reasons
First it works strictly thru tmobile SIM card , even tho you get tmo lte
Second the WiFi calling error means that you have to add update 911 address under your My T-Mobile account and then it works
I don't believe using a metro SIM In any tmo Device will get WiFi calling ever ,mainly cause it's alot to do with the tmo sim service the Main reachable service is still metro towers that's why .

I am wanting to set this up too. Metro PCS has good service in my area but they said they're having trouble with the GSM phones connecting to their 4G LTE network. T-Mobile's voice and text work great where I'm at and my brother is on Metro with one of their CDMA phones and his service works well. I literally just got my HTC One today and so far at my house I'm only getting 'G' which I assume is 1x or Edge service correct? When I reboot the phone and it initially connects to 4G and then drops it. I'm wondering if I take it to Metro and have them put it on their network if the 4G will work better? I wouldn't think it would impact it that much though. I have 30 days to try it out before I lose out on being able to return it and I'm all about saving money so switching to Metro is a big deal to me but I need my 4G too!

I'm no longer in Metropcs CDMA or Their Ericsson LTE network. I'm now on T-Mobile Gsm and LTE network under Nokia but with Metropcs Account. 2 different networks, so that means when you where on MetroPCS cdma and LTE you where on their original lte footprint with Ericsson lte sites, tmobile is planning to unite Metropcs lte with tmobile Nokia lte. But it will take some time.

Thats kool it is something you could have done setup from phone at home in 3 minutes tho...just sayin...
Glad it worked tho.
So to sum it up your saying you get actual tmobile WiFi calling with a actual metro 4g SIM card in a tMobile device ?
Not the same WiFi calling as my metro but I mean the tmobile exclusive WiFi calling .
That's very weird that that works using a metro SIM ..cause it's suppose to be a tmo sim cars thing also that has a lot to do with how it works .

Hey guys so I got a rezound recently because i wanted a nicer phone. the catch is that I use Straight Talk. Now I've read on here that it's possible to get the Rezound to work on Straight Talk but I don't understand 100% how to do it...Also, would it be better for me to get an AT&T SIM with 4G or to get the Activation code to use the Verizon CDMA? please help.
Right now all you will get from GSM providers is edge speeds. If you use a CDMA carrier that piggy backs off Verizon towers you can get 3G and in some cases 4G

I think you have been slightly misinformed... The Rezound cannot be activated on ST/CDMA as Straight Talk does not activate 4G Verizon phones... An AT&T SIM will work for voice, SMS, and Edge data, 3G is hit and miss, and the Rez doesn't have the proper hardware to use AT&Ts 4G LTE network.

Actually you can use its cdma functions but its a hassle to get it to work....you have to flash the phone using a few programs like cdma workshop and such....however currently i am using it on straight talks tmobile sim card and have one of their at&t sim cards im also gonna test with here soon....im still working on the 4g fix but may also require some cdma workshop stuff as well....no one was misinformed just uninformed on how
