Does anybody know a way to activate SVLTE on the AT&T HTC ONE M8? My wife's Verizon M8 has it. And I would really like it on my phone.

AT&T calls it "HD Voice" and you should see the option to enable it in Settings as long as you are on stock AT&T Android 4.4.4 or 5.0. Forgot exactly where, its under Wireless & Networks, either under "Mobile Data" or "More" (I;m not currently on stock ROM).

So I found someone I might trade my S4 for an HTC One, Its not unlocked but I know several places to unlock it, as I have AT&T.
How well does the T-Mobile HTC One work on AT&T are the correct 3G/HSPA+ bands there? Would LTE work?
100% fine.
Yes, T-Mobiles HTC has the bands for ATT so it will work great
I love my HTC One. I've seen my friend's S3's and this is by far a better device. And to me, the S4 is an overhyped S3 . Just saying

As simple as unlocking and sliding in the SIM?

I'm leary of that. We all said the same about the Note2 but I can't get my Note 2 to get LTE service on ATT. Before I grab a TMo One, I'd like to see posts confirming it works out of the box.
Thanks.

Its a good thing you will unlock it first thought

I have my Tmobile HTC One on At&t LTE right now and I have done a speed test reaching 35mbps. You do have to make sure your account has had a prior LTE device on the account or the device might only get 3G speeds. I told the phone rep to put my wife's unused HTC One X on my line and gave them the IMEI of that phone. The reason for this is because At&t does not have the Tmobile models in their database, so the only thing they can do is link your One to your line as a generic 3G device.

Ah, that's good advice, and may explain my inability to get LTE on my Note 2. I've never owned an AT&T LTE phone, and never will. I guess picking up a TMo One with intention to unlock and use on AT&T is not going to work for me.

Your tip worked on my Note 2. Once I got ahold of an LTE devices IMEI to give the AT&T rep, they were able to provision my account for LTE and now no issues.
I just picked up a T-Mobile HT One to do the same thing with (I have accounts on TMo and ATT), but the sim unlocking service I usually use is having troubles giving me an unlock code. Weird.
i'm in the same boat but I want to root as well. I have the tmobile phone working on att i think but now do i use a rom from the tmobile section or from the att section? Does it even matter now?

You can root without changing the ROM.

Thank you. I do want to change roms though. does it matter if i use tmobile or att?
You're gonna need the correct ATT LTE Apn...this is the one I used to use on ATT when I was with them. Data and MMS working.
Same situation here: I bought a T-Mobile HTC one, unlocked it, took it to AT&T, and after a lot of wrestling with them got AT&T LTE and HSPA+ both working (you will need to make sure: your AT&T account is provisioned so your data plan is LTE-capable; you have an LTE-capable SIM card; you have endless patience to push AT&T to give you a 'dummy' IMEI in their database of an LTE-capable phone).
Here's my issue, though: it runs hot whenever the wifi OR the data are on. I'm wondering if it's because I'm running the T-Mobile radio (4A.14.3250.15_10.34.1150.02L) on AT&T's network.
I've been told Android phones "just run hot," or that heat is a product of a rogue application (so far, nothing seems to be running when it shouldn't). I am new to the forums so I can't post over in the development area yet.
Anyone have any thoughts on whether trying a different radio would address the heat issues? Any other heat-diagnosing tips?
Thanks in advance!
does anyone know if you can use the htc one tmobile version with at&t's dumbphone unlimited data plan?

I can tell you why I am looking to go to ATT its because T-Mobiles coverage sucks. I have constant issues with their network.
Also when you think about it why would you offer a connection over wifi, shouldn't their phone work.
I bought a prepaid card just to test but I didn't connect to their LTE but I think its because they haven't provisioned it properly.
Time to go back again. I think I want to keep the HTC one because its a good phone can't see getting the S4.
Now att has next but still has the rate plans up there. I like t-mobiles pricing but ATT service is much better.
Find a nice AT&T Salesperson
I used to work at AT&T and i've just used a generic IMEI to provision LTE on a non AT&T phone. If you find a nice salesperson to help you they'll be able to look up a generic IMEI in the systaem for you. Its an internal tool they have to look up an IMEI for you. Hope this helps.
I recently did something similar to this...I brought my Verizon Galaxy S4 over to T-Mobile...works perfectly, Wi-Fi Calling and all.
SO, now I'm REALLY hoping I can take my rooted T-Mobile LG G3 (with unlocked bootloader!) over to Verizon!! Does anyone know if this would be possible? I'd definitely prefer to go with Verizon's PREPAID service on it though if I even can. Anybody have any thoughts on whether or not this should work?
Thanks

Not a chance. Not only is it physically impossible as the T-Mobile version does not have the necessary CDMA technology inside to use VZW's service for talk, text, and 3G, but also because VZW doesn't accept phones from other networks on theirs.
I have mdk Verizon s4 rooted and custom recovery. i'm looking to switch the phone from verizon to at&t will i be able to just flash a rom that has at&t pack like hyperdrive and get an at&t sim card. is that possible? is there any other way i can do this while still getting 4g lte? thanks in advance
The ROM and recovery do not matter. The VZ S4 is unlocked already from Verizon.
I don't know about ATT specifically, but I am using a straight talk plan with the ATT SIM card and it works fine. You just have to update your APN settings but they tell you exactly how.
The only drawback is you will not get LTE , at least not in NY where I am.
I get HSPA+ speeds which seem fast enough for anything I use including streaming video etc.
If you can get LTE to work, let me know.

thanks for the help i will check with att and do some more research to see if i can get the lte working if not then hspa+ isnt so bad
Okay so I am absolutely baffled at this point. I've searched google up and down for answers.
I purchased my S4 "factory GSM unlocked" from ebay. turned out being a SCH-I545 from verizon.
I'm trying to use it on net10 (ATT network) I have the SIM inserted and registered the SIM. its a "4g LTE ATT network SIM". Everything is good other than I can't get 3G or 4G.
I'm aware of adding the correct APN setting for my phone. The problem is that there is a stupid Verizon default APN that is grayed out and i can't edit it. I can add another APN and save it and it shows up, but I can't make it default or even click it to select it. It's like the verizon APN is pre-programmed and unremovable by default.
I tried using APN backup and restore with no luck because it doesnt work with the S4.
IDK WTF is wrong with it but I'm almost at the point of sending it back through ebay.
can anyone help?
BTW, it's rooted and on 4.4.2 stock
I'm willing to donate to the site/devoloper that helps me solve this issue. It's starting to piss me off.
well i messed around with it. and got something strange. it's stil not 3G or 4G, instead it says "H+"....whatever that is. I can browse the internet with it.
still would obviously prefer 4G.
still willing to donate to anyone that can get me on 4G.
Likewise
Im running straight talk on my s4. I used the bring your own phone package. I'm currently looking for ways to put my phone on 4g as well. ILets keep this post going. 2 heads are better than 1. Also how exactly did you get your sch-I545 to update to 4.4.2?
There is a Verizon to ST (straight talk) thread somewhere in the S4 forums, I think it's in general. Maybe you could pick up some tips from there.

No idea buddy, it came from ebay with that on it. I got it rooted though by flashing to I545_NC5, rooting with towelroot, then flashing back to NK1 stock. Worked flawlessly. I've tried multiple APN settings from various sources, all with no luck . Just the H+ network connectivity and no 2,3, or 4G.

I checked it out. Looks like he had the H+ connectivity too. Said he got some 4G in some spots. Looks like I'm just screwed in the butthole.

I tried taking a Verizon blackberry unlocked to att, your best bet is to try and get net10 to put your imei in their system instead of just a sim.

Not sure if this will help but a while back I was playing with an international ROM and the APN settings were grayed out.
Turning on Airplane Mode enabled me to change them.
It's worth a try, who knows.

I recently switched carriers. From Verizon, I went to T-Mobile. As expected, I'm already having issues. I can RECEIVE texts, but cannot send them on 4G LTE (only when I unexpectedly get "H+"). I can also access the internet. I have contacted T-Mobile, but honestly, they don't seem to care about my issue. I already manually changed the APN. The only thing I can think of is that my phone is currently on Lollipop, which is not yet supported by T-Mobile. Could this be the root of all this? Any help would be appreciated.

Many of us have gone rounds with T-Mobile. Myself, I've also dealt with Samsung and Verizon as well. Haven't had a resolution since I believe May. One "fix" you can do is add a subject to every text. It'll send everything as an MMS. Another thing is if you're rooted you can go in and turn off LTE. So far, that's all I know of to help. Someone told me a particular ROM allowed them to text on T-Mobile, but I've only heard it from one person so far.

On my rooted SCH-I545 on Cricket, I installed Advanced Signal Status (PlayStore)
Click Additional Info at bottom of screen
Click Phone Information
Change LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) to GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)
This worked for me, not a perfect soln, and I still haven't fixed the + sign in the incoming calls (still working on that one).
