Im currently running the htc one x+ on metro pcs
im on 4.2 jb i thought the update from 4.1 would some how enable me to get 4g lte speeds but its still not working
ive changed apn a few times but still cant get 4g lts before i updated to 4.2 i was able to flash a few different radios but still couldnt get the 4g lte
any help would be appreciated or just an explanation as to why im unable to do this would be nice thanks again

check with your provider MetroPCS may not offer LTE or may offer limited LTE capabilities
metropcs not much of a help
there is pretty good 4g lte coverage in my area but the people at the metro store around me informed me i couldnt run the htc one x+ on there service which obviously i proved them wrong lol so i dont have alot of faith asking them too much

Yeah, they told you that it won't work on Metro PCS because the phone isn't listed as a compatible phone on the website (the HTC One is listed though). Of course ANY phone that is GSM and has 4G LTE will work on any GSM network with 4G LTE (as long as it uses the same frequency, and since Metro PCS is using AT&T's network, and the One X+ is an AT&T phone, it will work)
.
I already gone and purchased a MetroPCS sim card and when I receive it, I'll call the 888 number to activate service on their $60 plan (the three Metro PCS stores in my town haven't even opened yet). Fully unlimited 4G LTE speed on that plan. I'm tired of the 2.5GB limit that Straight Talk has.
live chat
i was able to get ahold threw a facebook account of my brothers typed in metropcs and i was able to chat to a live person turned everything on for me right then and there i bought my card at a local store came home and activated it that way
when you get yours hooked up do you mind posting your speed results and or your apn im curious to see if its similar to what im getting

10 mb
im getting 10 mb up and 3 down at best on this and no 4g lte just 4g so im not sure what the issue is here i thought getting the ota update would some how help but i was mistaken

Its probably that you are too far from a tower, or its really congested.
BTW, what is the APN set to?

Ok, I see the MCC and MNC aren't touched. The ones I was looking at through Google Search, the MNC was like 16 or 260. I was trying to create an APN with that change, and it wouldn't save an APN with the MNC at 16 or 260.
MNC 260.
my mnc has 260 already prloaded into it i change one of my apn to 16
and it totally deleted it so im confused but i keep playing withthe settings and still nothing so im about to quit i went to the metro store around me as much as i didnt want to and when i was talking with the guy he ran a speed test on his phone which was the samsung mega he had 54 mbs up and 15 down

It definitely should work, if T-Mobile/MetroPCS has the 1700MHz band 4 for LTE active in your area.
T-Mobile uses 700MHz band 14 (starting '14Q4) and 1700MHz band 4 for LTE http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-Mobile_US#4G_LTE_upgrade
the One X+ uses 700MHz band 17, 1700/2100MHz band 4 for LTE http://www.phonearena.com/phones/HTC-One-X-LTE_id7376
Even if I can't get LTE working on this phone, I still have 3G (AKA HSPA+) that can get appreciable speeds, and I won't have data limits on the $60 plan like Straight Talk has. All you have to worry about is the 850 and 1900MHz bands for GSM and 1700MHz for UMTS (HSPA+)
ahhhhhhhhhh metro
took my phone over to metro its a corporate store and the do repairs the guy looks at my phone and by look i mean he took it and was playing with my speedtest app seen what my speeds were then check his and said yep its your phone we cant help you lmao

Live chat just follows the script in front of them. They don't really know anything else besides that. You said you got 10/3 on this phone with MetroPCS, that's HSPA+ speeds (3G, or sometimes called 4G if its T-Mobile). Still pretty good, and I can handle that. I'll later on buy a Samsung phone from MetroPCS if I like Metro's service.
not too bad
yeah its not too bad its just bothers me that if 4g lte is availible i should be able to get it
but ill have to live with it

I'm sure there is a switch under the battery Criket<>Verizon ... I never got why you would pay 700 for a phone just to save 40 a month and not have 4g and have sub par service... but i'm sure someone will develop a criket rom like the did with the incredible but nothing special

Because after 10 months that 40 turns into 400 and we just paid for the subsidy that ppl are paying for every month for 24 months(40 * 24 = $960) In comparison, after 24 months you get paid $260 for using it on a different network. Sub par service is a matter of opinion...no need to be rude about it, some ppl prefer a frugal alternative.
I guess the thought is that you could buy a cheaper device, and get just as good performance out of it because on Cricket you will never, ever, see any of the 4G speeds that we see.
This thing gets downloads that are consistently as fast as my Home Comcast (15mbps). I have seen some speeds that are double 30+mbps.
I guess what the other poster is thinking is that you could buy a droid 2 or a droid X and basically get the same results. Outside of the 4G LTE speeds, this device is nothing more than a MT4G or Desire HD (same internals). You wouldn't have to spend the extra money for a 4G phone that you will never utilize.
I thought that cricket was signing up for Lightsquared's LTE service? Which I would assume would be the same 700 Mhz our devices run on? I could be wrong, but if cricket did this it seems like it wouldn't be a terrible deal and as op said, he would still save money and actually be able to utilize the service. I doubt they would have the coverage we will, but don't denigrate the dude. He did nothing wrong asked a relevant question. Sorry, this was more directed at two_cents.
I have no idea what frequency Cricket would use, but keep in mind that metroPCS has 4G LTE as well and it is not at all compatible with Verizon 4G LTE. So it may be that the carriers try to distinguish themselves in the near future (especially from value based carriers) based on their phones not being compatible with other networks.
This would have the effect of making you go with one of the Big 3(?) carriers if you wanted a quality smartphone, or pick an inferior or entry level device and go with a prepaid carrier.
Yeah, I know metro's is different, but I was thinking that, which I could be remembering wrong, that LS's LTE service was going to be the same 700mhz. Like I said, I could be wrong. This is just what I vaguely remember.
When cricket starts using sim cards to register devices

Chips in Crickets?
Been an At&t user since forever. Service is good enough in Savannah and the job pays for it so I haven't had an argument to switch. So, SIM cards in phones have always been the norm. Could switch out my Nokia, Palm, iPhone whenever.
So forgive my ignorance when I ask what the significance of sims appearing in Cricket phones to being able to use the Thunderbolt? I currently use a Huawei on Cricket to play with and it doesn't have a sim. I've seen a Droid X also on Cricket and I don't know whether it has a sim or not.
Personally I wouldnt use a DX or TB on Cricket but for $55 a month (unlimited everything) it's an attractive offer.
Btw, the Huawei is Z4 rooted and has 2.2.1, which ruins the Wifi. But Wifi tethering works great. About 1mb u/d, but worthwhile. My iP4 gets 3+mb down and 1+mb up on 3G even with MyWi. When 4G LTE comes here with big red then I'll probably switch. I looking forward to a 4.3 screen and 2.3GB

I think you are mixing up Cricket for Metro PCS.
also the 700Mhz band is verizons if I am not mistaken, so the band will be different for Lightsquared's LTE unless them roam on verizons network.
No, I know metro has their own LTE service, that is not on the same bandwidth ours. Reading further into the lightsquared's frequency range they are on three bands. 1.4 1.6 and 2.0. So, yes I was wrong about it about the TB working on crickets network if they partnered with LS, but I wasn't talking about MPCS. I thought that I had saw where LS was running on the 700 mhz band with VZW. Not sure where I pulled that one out of thin air from, because apparently I was way off. Here's where I got my new info.http://www.dailywireless.org/2010/07/20/lightsquared-announces-lte-network/
MPCS runs on the 1700 mhz band.

Since no one has yet answer the original question... I'm a professional cell phone tech normally all Verizon phones can be flashed to cricket HOWEVER Verizon has decided to use identification cards similar to Sim cards for their service starting with the thunderbolt and all future Verizon 4g phones. I have yet to attempt to flash a thunderbolt I will try Monday however I'm fairly confident without the id card it will not work on cricket. The card is what stores registration info for the network now VERY similar to a Sim. I'm doubting a flash will work but I will repost tomorrow with my results.

Your correct there is no way to load a .prl on the phone without a sim unless theres another way. For the rest of the off topic posts you pay for what you get
Yeah, the SIM card makes this impossible at the moment.
possibly
Its possible because cricket will be getting 4G LTE sometime at the end of this year or early next. But it also depends if it works the same as Verizon's.
The Thunderbolt has officially been flashed to cricket with Talk and Text and hopefully data to come. I flashed it yesterday and i can make and recieve calls and texts atm so wish me luck to get data working

Only if crickets 4G network is LTE
Sent from my HTC Thunderbolt
My Titan 2 just arrived yesterday and I unlocked it for use on Telus. Bell and Telus share the same coverage areas so me being downtown Toronto I'm pretty much set for constant LTE service.
I'm wondering though how can I tell when I'm on LTE. So far it's only shown "4G" displayed on the screen. I'm not sure if it's actually supposed to say "LTE" or not. I had to swap to a specific sim card to allow LTE speeds which I did as well.
I downloaded the app "BandWidth" to test speeds and I got almost 4.32mb/sec on the Telus network then 9.19mb/sec on wi-fi at home. Can anyone confirm these are definitely LTE speeds and not HSPA speeds?
Just want to know it's working as it should be..
Yes it should say LTE instead of just 4G.
Hmm.. Well then I'm shocked to see that I'm apparently not getting LTE in the only place where you would expect to see LTE.
Can you confirm by chance what type of speeds you're personally seeing on LTE?
As well is there any setting I should be checking to force LTE or make sure it's enabled?

Does you titan support the telus LTE frequency? .... Maybe Telus has an IMEI check for their LTE which blocks unrecognized phones (maybe)
Well I'm not sure exactly what I did but whatever it it fixed it. I did a hard reset yesterday which didn't immediately fix it. I played with the APN for a while trying different things. I changed sp.telus.com to isp.telus.com and this morning I noticed that magically it's now showing LTE.
However my newest concern is that HTC Connection app fails. On my old Titan it works fine and recognises my carrier. And now group texting and MMS fail on the Titan 2 whereas they worked perfectly on my Titan. Doesn't make sense..

There is definitely something going on with the SGS3. Right next to my unbranded SGS2/GT-I9100, I'm getting much lower speeds on the exact same network. I'm talking 7.5Mbps vs 3Mbps on AT&T.
Not sure if the modem's just not optimized for the US AT&T networks (yet).
Thank for the test, i really didnt think this was normal. i hoping to find a modem that works well enough to get me the 3-4 mbps......

to the OP and anyone experiencing slow network speeds, check you apn settings on the phone make sure you have the ATT phone apn selected (apn name phone) instead of the default Cingular apn...Phone is the HSPA+ apn but on unlocked international phones it defaults to the APN provided by your sim which is the Cingular one...case in point on my nexus i have to always manually input the phone APN after flashing a rom...
also even though 2 phones running on the same network maybe in the same physical location, they may not be connected to the same Cell Site Tower, as such each phone maybe communicating with different towers with varying degrees of network congestion, thereby affecting your speeds...it could also just be the area you're in...as another ATT user with an international s3 has posted screens of him gettin 8mb down

I'm don't think you can switch to the phone APN on the $10/$15 medianet plan... has this changed?
I understand cell towers, but you have to realize you're really reaching with that explanation... especially when I am able to get consistent 6-7.5Mbps ALL DAY on the GT-I9100 when I have not been able to hit 3.5Mbps downloads sitting in my office all morning. I'm talking well over 10 tests at various times throughout the day, SOMETHING is up.
CONFIRMED: phone APN does NOT work on the medianet plan, so let's not muddy the water and confuse the issue at hand.

NO, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying I'm seeing significantly slower speeds than my UK GT-I9100 when running the same exact speed tests at various times during the day. Could just be a modem issue as these phones were launched for the UK region, who knows.

Just wondering if you do, what prl you may be using or radio. I just got mine yesterday and put it on Verizon and I love the phone. I lose 3G at my house sometimes but for some reason Verizon has always been that spotty for me so there may be no cure....Sprint isn't the best either at my house. The best believe it or not is AT&T. Everywhere else though usually Verizon has the best service around my town. I live in Virginia. Input would be greatly appreciated.

Just wondering if you do, what prl you may be using or radio. I just got mine yesterday and put it on Verizon and I love the phone. I lose 3G at my house sometimes but for some reason Verizon has always been that spotty for me so there may be no cure....Sprint isn't the best either at my house. The best believe it or not is AT&T. Everywhere else though usually Verizon has the best service around my town. I live in Virginia. Input would be greatly appreciated.

Hello I have a sprint htc evo 4g that i want to put on the verizon prepaid. I have the CDMA worshop. I just would really appreciate maybe a guide of how to do this?? If you know anyone you could point me in the right direction that would be great. I have done this before with this phone but we are outta the metro pcs home area and i have a vanity number for my business so i have to keep this number. I have flashed this phone once but i couldnt get the mms and internet to work. If would help me that would be greatly appreciated
thanks
Hey guys,
Quick thought and a question:
1. I have the LTE rocking on Page Plus, also a Verizon service. For those considering the Verizon network over Sprint's, consider Page Plus over Verizon PP for two reasons:
A. Avoid illegality of ESN cloning
B. Being kicked off the network for data abuse, cause they know those tiny, dumbphones aren't capable of such data usage
2. For those rocking these LTEs on VZW networks, even with the right MMS settings, can you guys confirm that when you get an MMS, you have to MANUALLY hit the download button to download the images? Instead of the phone automatically engaging the data to download the image, and then shutting the data off, much like all the native Verizon phones like the Rezound, for example?
Thanks for your help!

Not trying to be a smarta$$ at all here, bud, but Google is your friend on that one . So much you can find out about it, if you Google it.
But simply stated, it's an MVNO that runs on the Verizon network... Decent support, and service for reasonable price...
can i flash it to metro? if so how
VZW prepay on a 4g?
I keep hearing how some ppl have their Verizon 4g phone on the Verizon prepaid service and I need to know how I get that to happen for me. I have a droid bionic with a 4g sim but I use the VZW prepay bc I don't use my cell but about 1/2 the month (dead area for cell phone coverage in the sticks where I live) so I don't want contract pricing. I've been using one of the Verizon prepay phones but they just aren't up to par for me and I love the droids. Somebody please tell me how I get this to work?!?! I've tried transferring my service myself online to the 4g sim but of course that doesn't work and you can't even get a Verizon rep to even discuss it. Is it a matter of getting a different kind of sim for the phone, i.e. a 3g sim if they even exist in the VZW world. Is there such a thing as a prepaid sim versus a contract sim? I'm lost!
Hey! I have had a rough winter with money and Sprint kind of dumped me after 7yrs of service with no issues with me paying the bill! Anyway I just got this phone recently and hate for it to be a paper weight or media player only so I wanted to know if I have any options other than the Sprint network? I am not a complete rookie I have it rooted and running Barepop at the moment so any advice, help, or info would be greatly appreciated! I hope I don't make anyone angry by posting here. Thanks!
Well it depends if you are ok with like 3G-4G i use t-mobile prepaid some times I went to walmart and got a sim kit for $35 I got unlimted call text and like 5GB's of LTE. Sadly though you cannot get LTE because the phone does not support the LTE but I get like 15 mps 4G and like 10 mb 3G witch is still faster then sprint's LTE and 3G combined. You will have to flash a GSM rom from the android develoment thread right now there is no GSM unlock on for ZV8. You could also try simple mobile I just recomend you go to walmart and look around the celluar area they have a couple sim kits.

lol you have to be kidding right!!!
15Mbps is faster than Sprints LTE and 3G combined???
Check out the screenshot and mind you I am not too close to a lte tower. i had like 3 bars when i ran this test.
33Mbps your 15 dont even come close. And since sprint is one of the only carriers to pffer true unlimited date i easyly run over 20 gigs per month without slowing down.
Alls im saying is get your facts straight.
Wow guess your lucky most people complain about getting only like 10 mbps (sprintsucks facebook page)

that's the fastest I've ever seen a Sprint!! around here the fastest sprints I've seen are about 10mbps
Thanks for the info!
I am pretty sure I was getting about 25mbs DL speeds on Sprint here in Savannah but I can live with anything over 2-3mbs. I already have a Cricket account and Sim card but I am trying to figure out the best method to get it working on my G3. Cricket is now on the Att network so signal quality is decent and LTE speeds. Anyone who can give me a little guide to get it working on the Sprint G3 I would be VERY GRATEFUL!
my Galaxy Mega on T Mobile got near 40mbps here

He does have his facts straight what you are showing is Sprint's "Spark" LTE network. Their normal LTE network doesn't go above 12 Mbps even with full bars. You are lucky enough to be in an area where spark is enabled, most places don't have spark network enabled although sprint is rolling it out as fast as possible. Their overall speeds are very dismal (with exception of spark LTE).
