H = HSPA+ = T-mobile's current 4g
g < 2g < 3g < H < LTE
* Cellular Settings --> highest connection speed to 3G (was set to LTE). Without this, SMS and MMS have a variety of oddities such as limiting to 70 characters, not operating reliably, etc.
* Set Internet APN
APN --> epc.tmobile.com (all other fields blank)
* Set MMS APN
APN --> epc.tmobile.com
MMSC URL --> http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMSC port --> 80
Max MMS size --> 1024
all other fields blank
I already am using the settings you mentioned and I get a 4G icon on top.
But the internet is really slow. Download speed is less than .1 Mbps.
I am not sure whats going on even with a 4G icon.
any suggestions?
Thanks,

I found out the problem.
Internet seems to be down slow in my area due to some tmobile maintenance.
I just drove away from where I live and did a speed test at bandwidthplace.com
I got nearly 30mbps with Lte and almost 10 Mbps with 3G.
Is there a way to get text messaging working with Lte?

You know that T-Mobile USA does not currently have LTE right?
yes, I know that but I get higher speeds if the connection is set to LTE.

Try using fast.t-mobile.com as your APN and use the access point app

Ok, here is my problem now:
after 1308 update, Internet sharing worked great on my Rogers unlocked 920 running T-mob
But, MMS stoped working. At that point i reactivated T-mobile access point , and MMS started working again .... but, i have no internet sharing again ((
It's always taking me to T-mob web site and pay for service, which i already have
Now .....
i did try "Spanish keyboard trick" and after that, tethering (internet sharing) worked.
But, no MMS again. It looks like settings used in "Spanish mode" use different values for Access point settings.
If i could manually add access point with MMS settings and internet settings, that would be great.
Ill try call T-mob and ask for it, but it's small chance, ill get it ;(
Anybody can help in here ?

ok, two things you have to know:
1, you will have to change your speed connection to 3G (sometimes dont work with LTE)
2, Delete all access points, restart your phone.
then, manually set this:
* Set Internet APN
APN --> epc.tmobile.com (all other fields blank)
* Set MMS APN
APN --> epc.tmobile.com
MMSC URL --> http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc

I tried to download that settings automatically , but Airtel has sent a msg that the service is not enabled for your phone.!!!! why is it so.???
Mine is a new phone.. I haven't configured any settings yet..
Please give the gprs settings of Airtel for Lg p500.
Until you have gprs activated, you can't use the net. So go to ccc and buy a package of 99 rs for 2gb and tell them to activate gprs. They will activate it. For settings you just need apn. Either google or they will give you.

as far as I know, you get the setting as soon as you insert the sim. is your sim card very old?
try going to settings/wireless & networks/mobile network/access point names.
in here se e if there are any entry called airtel internet. if it is there then select it. once done, internet will start working.
This might help...

Yes, you first need to activate airtel GPRS services.
Ask the customer care, they will activate it within 24 hours and then you can order your settings and save them. Manually entering the settings won't help you untill you have GPRS enabled in your new activated sim card
Hope i helped
Thank you all for the info
As airtel gprs tariffs are not impressive. I subscribed for Tata Docomo gprs.
LOL.!! I got 3g speeds (2.5Mbps) initially for 2-3 days .. Now its around(130- 150 Kbps) , donno how they gotto know ..
What is the download/upload speeds in airtel gprs .??

Same is with other providers like Airtel. They are also giving free 3g to old 2g customers.
BTW: you can send MO to 543210 to get Airtel mobile office settings. (tollfree) If the internet pack is not activated, it will be activated too.
It was the same with me.. I activated the 65Rs GPRS pack .. And the speeds were 3g. They might getto know and change it if u use excecively.. Use 3g when necessary. It drains battery alot. I need to charge it every 20hs or so.

I am using it from last 2 months 2gb is enough for a month to use with 3g. I am not trying to abuse the system
I have received the gprs settings(airtel), but my phone is asking for PIN to install it..what to do ?
Go to settings-- wireless&network --mobile network --accesspoint -- create new apn--put any name --second option apn name put airtelgprs.com (mobile office) ,(for airtel live -it is airtelfun.com) and press save..and ensure u tick that option for use after saving ...works perfectly ;-)

I have seen a thread in the development section saying about changing the APN settings and they are getting much faster speeds
I am wondering if there are any optimized APNs for the 3 network? And whether this is even possible?
Thanks
James
What APN settings do you have. I am on three and it took me ages to find the settings but mine seem to work ok.
It would be nice to find a faster apn if there is such a thing
name: 3 WAP
APN three.co.uk
username: user
MCC:234
MNC: 20
authentication type: PAP
APN type: internet
Everything else is not set, even the password! :s
What about yours mate?
Hi, mine is a little different:-
Name - 3UK
apn - three.co.uk
proxy - not set
port - not set
username - not set
password- not set
server - not set
mmsc - http://mms.um.three.co.uk:10021/mmsc
mms proxy- mms.three.co.uk
mms port - 8799
mcc - 234
mnc - 20
authentication type - not set
apn type - internet + mms
Hope this helps
I have exactly the same settings as you guys. Not sure if there is faster APN on three..
I am quite happy with my inet speed on Three. I normally get 4mbit down and 1.5 mbit up. Even in low signal areas it is still good

No, justs H for me.

Hello guys,
From my previous experiments, these multi radio GSM phones just don't work as good as their GSM only variants. What is the situation for photon about this ?

Received a unit yesterday, I had ordered via eBay. Works perfectly on both 3G and HSDPA. No problems with either voice or data.
Since I haven't been able to activate the phone via Sprint:
1. It tries to connect to Sprint each time I boot it. I need to then make changes to network settings so that it can log on to the local GSM networks.
2. Each time I send a text message, it reminds me I might incur international roaming charges.
Rest is super.

Answer to game resolution there I believe Timmyja
I live in backwoods western KY where there is no 4G as of yet. I want to know how I would go about setting it to use 3G only. I am running Saurom 7.1 and have the option in my network settings for LTE or HSPA or GSM, but it won't stick when I select any of these. I've tried dialing *#2236* or whatever and the RAT is locked. I've tried flashing a rogers modem via CWM to unlock the RAT and it made my phone unusable, freezing up whenever I clicked anything on the home screen and rebooting itself after a few minutes.
Someone help me out here?
4g and 3g will be the same unless you have lte. I usually disable data unless I need to use the internet or send/receive mms messages. Calls and texts still come through fine but you'll want to switch from 3g to 2g (edge).
Sent from my Transformer Prime via XDA premium.
I too would like to drop the data speed when I'm not actively using LTE. I've tried using this apn:
Name: AT&T
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: leave blank
Port: leave blank
Username:[email protected]
Password:CINGULAR1
Server: leave blank
MMSC:*http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS Port: 80
MCC:310
MNC:410
APN Type: leave blank
Unfortunately, the connection will change back 4G LTE shortly after you select this apn. I'm rooted, stock and unlocked.

Also want to lower data speed to save battery
Has any one figured out how to control the GSM radio the way we used to be able to do on older phones and limit data speed to 3G or EDGE only?
I need data on all the time but I do not need fast data. I need the battery instead.
Setting my NOTE to EDGE or even edge only would be ideal.
Thank you very much
I have tmobile when inserted the simcard in my z2 I've noticed that I'm not getting any internet connection so i went to Setting/wireless and networks/internet setting and downloaded all the files then I went to mobile netword and changed it to 4G Tmobile, starting that day I keep losing connection every time I have to go to mobile network and change it manually although it's set on automatic, most of teh times 4g doesn't work and I have to set it to 3g... it's really annoying
In your dial pad type in *#*#info#*#* (numbers for info)
Go to phone info
Scroll down
Select prefered network mode
Select LTE or an option for local with
Go back to your network settings and see if 4G shows up
If not change your mode back to what it was before and call tmobile because they may have to sort some issues out for you

go to your network settings, when tmobile USA shows up with 4G click it to register, once thats done, go back a menu and click on network mode and change it to LTE/HSPDA/GSM (or what ever bands are used in USA)
you should have data connection but 4G depends on how good Tmobile USA Coverage is
You may need to call TMo and ask them to do whatever they do in the backend to reset the phone to network connection. Another thing is to look at TMo support site for the correct APN settings. In my case, data was perfect but MMS would not work because the phone settings were incorrect. Basically, call TMo. They will even email you the settings.
One last thing. Try airplane mode off then on and see it that helps.

One thing I would do, is to call T-Mobile and register the IMEI so they can provision the unit. The settings on their end may have something which is preventing it to connect to it based on a previous phone's capabilities.
-----------------
I had something similar similar but it was with AT&T. In my case, it would not connect to LTE at all as it would stick on HPSA. This was because I had a S3 (UK version), which was only capable of HSPA+, and I had registered the IMEI with them prior.
I had a lot of problems getting my Z2 to work on T-Mobile as well. I finally used the following settings to get everything to work.
Create 2 APNs, the first should have the Following Settings:
Name: T-Mobile
APN: fast.t-mobile.com
Proxy: 216.155.165.050
Port: 8080
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/
MMS proxy: 216.155.165.50
MMS port: 8080
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
APN Type: defaul,supl,admin,dun,mms
APN Protocol: IPv4
APN Roaming Protocol: IPv4
Now create a second APN with the following settings:
Name: T-Mobile GPRS
APN: epc.tmobile.com
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
APN Protocol: IPv4
APN Roaming Protocol: IPv4
With both of those created, go to your list of APNs and make sure your first one (T-Mobile) is selected.
These settings fixed my problems, hope you get it worked out.

I had a similar issue, is that why my phone doesn't have signal with tmobile cause I have to register the IMEI?

It is likely, make sure the internet/mms settings are downloaded too.
Once the IMEI is registered, they will able to see what phone it is and enable the proper features which the phone is capable of.
I heard it's best to let them know as the IMEI as well because they could flag the unauthorized phones and reject it from being connected the carrier.
