[Q] at&t bands

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.

Unlocked AT&T to T-Mobile

I got an unlocked from AT&T, and now Im using T-Mobile. How come I don't have 4g. I have edge only. My zip code is 36066 and its still in range. My htc amaze has 4g, but this htc one has edge only. is there any setting need to be switched on. I just got this phone for a few hours.
It doesn't support tmobiles hspa bands. If you don't live in one of tmobiles refarmed areas it won't get 4g

It depends where you are located like grim said. Your location may not be refarmed yet.

4G LTE and 3G not working.

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.

Getting HSPA+ on T-Mobile?

I'm new to T-Mobile, was a HSPA+ ever discovered for us? Any way to get it on the S5 yet?

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

Hopefully they fix the service period, there's times when I'm full LTE but can't connect to anything.

I think you need to unlock LTE band 3... http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/unlocked-lte-bands-vs985-t2909150
@GSK_FS please in the future make question threads in the Q&A section. I'll ask a moderator to move this thread.
