The Moto E LTE offered by BoostMobile and U.S. Cellular, is also GSM unlocked?
Or this condition (GSM unlocked) is just for the MOTO E from Verizon?
Thanks
Idk about us cellular, but Boost Mobile is CDMA. And it is unlockable via Motorola website. Hope this helps you partly
Since Boost is CDMA, will a Verizon SIM work on their Moto E, since the Verizon Moto E cannot be unlocked?
So recently my roommate broke her phone, and I did a bit of research and found the Moto E 2nd gen LTE XT1527.. for some reason though she is only picking up 3G.. when I (on my T-mobile Oneplus 2) right next to her am getting bands 2,4 & 12 LTE just fine.
I realize since the last update on the Moto E, band 12 has been disabled, but that doesn't explain why she isn't getting bands 2 and 4. I didnt have any luck finding an answer to this in my googling, would the phone have gone to prefer 3G over LTE by default? The phone was bought from Amazon's warehouse, but seemed to be in new condition.
Anyone have any recommendations for troubleshooting this? or is this a known issue and I just havent found it yet.
Thanks
The modem usually prefers the strongest signal. If for some reason 3G/HSPA+ has a lower dBm, then the phone switches to that. From my experience the threshold to switch depends on the model, some phones can grasp onto weak LTE signals, while others will simply fallback to HSPA/Edge.
You should confirm that the Moto is using the correct APN. T-Mobile has two functional APNs, one is epc & the other is fast. For LTE you must use the latter, but check what network mode is active too.

Can i use the xt1528 1st or 2nd gen VZW on ATT since it has GSM network as well? And at least get HSPA from the Network app in Play Store?
I've read that the sprint Moto E works internationally with GSM out of the box. Has anyone tried using the Sprint Moto E internationally with a project fi data only sim? If so, did it work? I have an upcoming trip next month and wondered if it was worth bringing.
Does Verizon Moto E Prepaid Smartphone (XT1528) work on T-Mobile, Sprint, and/or Walmart Family Mobile? Because I read that Verizon's Prepaid phone that are 4gLTE are unlocked but I am not sure if they work on GSM.
Hopefully you are talking about the moto e 2015 version( your post in under the moto e first generation)
It works on GSM networks like att and Tmobile.
