Motorola Photon does not have 4G LTE radio. It's 4G Wimax. Metro PCS does not have 4G Wimax. Flash to Metro PCS you can only get 3G connection.

This won't work on Metro PCS. Even if it did, they don't have 4G!

^^^lol....get with the times man...metro is coming up
i am very curious about this as well.
Metro Pcs does have 4g:
http://www.metropcs.com/coverage/
click the 4g tab
any ways...the thunderbolt is a 4g lte phone and metro is now supporting 4g lte....so what are the possibilities of getting this going ?
they have 4g plans that require a 4g phone...so do we need esn #'s from the metro pcs samsung 4g phone for this to work ?
is it worth the trouble ?
I'm very interested with Photon 4G, but i have one question :
Is Photon 4G really factory unlock or not?
Can i use at other country?
Cause I use gsm only, not cdma.
Thank's for your help.

Hi! Yes, the Photon is unlocked for GSM, UMTS, and CDMA outside of the US. This means that you can use it anywhere in the world where its frequencies are supported, except in the US if you are not on Sprint...
If you aren't going to use 4G WiMax, I suggest you wait for the Electrify on U.S. Cellular. It's practically a Photon without WiMax enabled on it. I am unsure though if it'll be carrier unlocked when released...

Of course, I myself am currently flashed to Boost with the device. They flash easily to other carriers the same as previous htc phones. Yes the LTE won't work. Metropcs has LTE and although they are both cdma they use different frequencies and airwaves for LTE so you'd have to settle for 3G at least for the time being.
does it flash easily or do you have to do bad juju with the numbers?
It's pretty easy just search for EVO 4g LTE boostmobile. I recommend to flash to Verizon prepaid

yes, I have a atrix 4g working on tmobile. i am in schaumburg and have working 4g.
I have a Sidekick 4G and I'm thinking about getting an Atrix, with the new 1900 rollout how will the speeds compare? I've heard about some crazy speeds but my Sidekick doesnt seem to get them and if they're about on par I'm switching to the coolest phone I've seen the Atrix

I got a Verizon HTC one M7 unlocked phone. I inserted the Tmobile 4G card but I couldn't connect to 4G or even 3G data network. Can anyone please help me. I spend like 400 bucks for the phone and its useless if I dont get this.
Do you have 3G and 4G Coverage at your place with T-Mobile? Did you try it at other places?
4G: Does the Phone support the bands your network provider is using?

From the HTC site: M7/Verizon: ... UMTS/HSPA 1900/2100MHz,GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900MHz, LTE Band 13
So you need to check if TMOUS has 3G 1900 in your area. 4G is entirely out of the question.

I think 4G service on Verizon device even if you unlock them will not work on GSM sim card. Try hooking up your device on CDMA service and see what happen.
Did you change the apn setting?? And far as I know with Verizon they blocked most of the gsm signals so unless you flash a new modem no dice

You are wrong. HTC one UMTS/HSPA 900/2100, not 1900/2100. So it can't use 3G on AT&T or Tmobile

It's not uncommon at all to make different variants of the same phone for different networks. If the phone doesn't have the bands then no amount of flashing other things is going to make a difference.
