My mobile network recently launched it's 4g network but my phone only gets edge data. I have the x515m that does not have hsdpa 1900. Can hsdpa 1900 be enabled or can my phone be flashed to work with this network? I need to find out asap, thanks in advance.

It's because of network coverage. If you have only Edge or Gprs, it means that (we assume that "work only with 2g" is not checked) its signal doesn't cover that place. I have same issue with 3G or HSDPA in my flat..but when I go outside, I have HSDPA. Try 4G somewhere else and tell us.

Thanks for the response. I don't think it's a coverage issue because other people are getting 3g and 4g around me. I think my carrier is using another frequency (1900) that my evo3d x515m doesn't have. I was wonder if there was any way to change the radio but that doesn't seem possible. I'm still open to suggestions.

You are welcome..
Which ROM you use?
Anyway, go to Settings, Wireless&Networks tab, More..., Mobile Networks, and uncheck "Use only 2g networks" if it is checked.

I think it's a problem with the frequency used by my network so there's nothing I can do in the settings. I'm not using a ROM, I'm on the stock ICS firmware. I was wondering if I flashed a ROM if it could possibly change the 3g frequency but my research so far indicates that this isn't possible. Thanks for the info though.

Try using DFS they have tools to enable or Disable certain Bands/Spectrums. You can find DFS Evolution with a bit of research, due to the Nature I can not post a direct link but it is modified software

No chance at all actually.

WCDMA != CDMA. WCDMA is 3G GSM. CDMA is well CDMA.

WCDMA is not the same as CDMA. Its basically the standard for GSM 3G, and while similar to CDMA, there are enough differences that they are incompatible. Even if it did work, you wouldn't be able to call or text anyone and as a GSM phone there's no ESN so the network wouldnt recognize it anyway.
Actually worth, thinking about it....if you can find the firmware for sprint for Motorola Atrix 4G w
Atrix --> *#*#4636#*#*, go into phone info and see Atrix support for WCDMA, GSM, CDMA and EvDo

There is no firmware as the HARDWARE does not support CDMA. The only thing you could get working with a firmware update that does not work is T-Mobile 3G since the qualcomm mdm6200 modem chip in our phone supports petaband WCDMA. Now finding firmware to do this has proven impossible for me since there are other things included in the firmware that are different between phones and there is no T-Mobile Motorola equivalent to the atrix.
To sum up. Inorder for firmware support you need HARDWARE supper also.

I bought the phone from at&t but i'm in egypt now
The phone signal indicator gives me that i'm using 4G while we don't have 4G in egypt so could i change that icon
A second thing is i get pretty slow speeds on a 3G network is that someting related to bands ?
Forgot to mention that here we have UMTS 2100 band

I believe the 4G is an indicator of HSDPA or an HSPA+ network, which is truly 3G but the U.S Carriers like to call 4G.
As for the slow speeds, make sure you have the right APN settings put in for your local carrier. Without that you may get internet, but slowly.
I am currently using this EVO design 4g from sprint on a gsm network but the phone seems to fixed to stay on edge data which to me is very slow ..I try to change the settings to wcdma preferred or wcdma only via *#*#4636#*#* but it always end up dropping the network...I want to use the 3g network on my phone I was thinking of throttling the network and I thought maybe its not a solution...I have rooted and unloocked the bootloader ..please help on what on what to do to have my phone on 3g data speed on gsm.

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.

What are you asking? T-Mobile primary network is EDGE, then HSPA, then LTE. If you want to use only HSPA, you can go to settings>mobile networks>network mode. WCDMA only

Sorry, I'm coming from ATT where we had to do weird things to unlock HSPA. My issue is I'm on EDGE more than anything and things don't even load on EDGE. I remember being stuck on E sometimes on ATT, but unlocking HSPA fixed that.

There's no unlocking that Ive ever heard of. It sounds like you just get poor reception. Probably an area that doesn't get 4g or Lte. Check Tmobile coverage map.
Sent from my SM-G900T using xda app-developers app
Yeah, my guess is coverage too. Do go in and check that option that they listed above for your network type. In your situation I would try setting it to WCDMA Only - this will FORCE it to connect to 4G (HSPA+) and if you have no signal for 4g you will have 0 bars so it is a good test to see how that signal is in your area aside from the network map.
You will only be able to use T-Mobile HSPA+ if you are using a T-Mobile branded S5. The AT&T S5 does not support the 1700 AWS band from T-Mobile so you will not be able to get it and will only have access to 2G/3G/4G and LTE (no 4G+)

Thanks, I'm using a branded t mobile s5 but I'm either on edge or 4G, mostly edge. I didn't realize hspa+ was just another word for 4g. So I guess I'm stuck with edge

T-Mobile rural coverage is quite poor in most areas, however they've committed to modernizing their rural areas now that they've got the major centers but it might take a year or better to get it all done. I'm planning to go to at&t in great meantime now that their rates have come down. I'm stuck in 2g land at home and work here
