I cannot receive calls at 4g.The phone for a moment switches to 3g in order to take the call but it doesn't stay there and returns to 4g.
Is there any way,maybe at engineering mode, to make it switch from 4g to 2g?
i noticed this , the second i call someone it drops to 3g straight away.
just putting it in my pocket it can drop to 3g.
so far im not to impressed with the phone.
Im finding the internet connection freezing constantly when i take it out of idle .
Not got 4g here in the UK working yet for data. Anyone else managed it?

I'm 3 mobile in Ireland and 4g works. So should be no problem in the UK
Here in Finland, all calls are 2G or 3G because the 4G networks is data-only networks. I suppose the same thing applies to most operators in the world.
Worked out the reason 4g is not working. I am using sim 2 for the sim and sim 1 for a microsd 128gb. With sd card in - no 4g. With sim in sim1 I get 4g. Bit of a pain as I had planned to have great big sd card for my music etc but now thinking of dropping the sd card out.

Yup, 4G working for me with Three.
Well it now says it is 4g although at home it never shows that. I live fairly remotely but not too remote and that excuse would not let it show 4g at home when I use the other slot (ie sim1 ) with the same sim.
So whether the sim 2 is not set up the same or not I am not sure
Even when my phone's says it's on 4g (the odd time) I'm not finding the speeds to match the claim .
Not sure this can be updated this is more of a hardware limitation .
So if you want to use a Micro SD card you can't have 4G? Am on 3 uk and have a 128GB Micro SD card. This will be a deal breaker for me if this is the case. No 4G on sim 2?
Here in Germany, it seems to work with 4G in Slot 2 (I just checked the speed, to check if it does not only pretend being on 4G) but when I start a call, it Drops to 3G. But Im not sure, if voice over 4G is active in my plan

I'm on Telstra network in Australia. 128GB SD card in slot 1; SIM in slot 2. 4g works fine for data - speeds are legitimate 4g speeds. However, Iike so many other people, I don't seem to receive calls when the phone is registering 4G connection, so I've had to change the preferred network to 3G and effectively give up 4G.
Disappointing. Hope the next OTA fixes this AND the crappy GPS inaccuracy.
(Even with 20160715 build, my GPS constantly re-routes and gives false directions.)
Love the phone itself. But unhappy with persistent poor performance of GPS, fingerprints and 4G voice...

i have spotty 3g in my area, so my phone is switching between EDGE and 3g allot. for what ever reason, it completely looses signal to switch over. i have had many cell/smart phones and all the other ones switch over without loosing signal. it is really getting annoying, but i love my atrix. what is the issue? i STILL have not found a way to disable 3g and just use EDGE...4636 does not stay.
the other thing i have not called and switched my plan to the 4g plan yet, i have a BB also and i am still on a BB data plan. i DO get h+ on my phone, so by getting the 4g plan, will this stop this signal loss from happening? as i said, i could care if i had 3g, im fine with EDGE since im on wifi.
any help/advice would be greatly appreciated..
thanks!
There is no 4g plan since its not 4g. Its still a 3g network so if u have a 3g plan then you are on the fastest that att has to offer. Their 4g claims are a farce

try a new sim card if your card is over 6months old. when i select gms only in that service menu it disconnects from the network for a few seconds then locks on edge and stays on edge
I have this same problem too on a regular 3g data plan so I don't think it's bb related. it bothers the crap out of me

Really....humming....I am using my micro sim from my iPhone with the sim adapter....maybe a trip to AT&T for a new sim is in order
My iPhone 3GS had this problem, my Atrix does too, but it's not nearly as bad about it.
For some reason I haven't been able to cnnect to LTE here in Olympia, WA. Works great 3-4 bars on my Nexus, anyone else around here having problems? Voice works fine, and I am getting full 4g signal.
Thanks
I'm in Seattle and getting fine LTE - maybe call VZW? Might need a new sim?

You're in oly there's your problem. .....I kid. If settings didn't work then yes sim card could be an issue. Don't think mine has dropped LTE since I got it. But I left the nw for the warm South.
I'm in Portland, and I have no 4G connection for some reason. I activated my phone online and it told me to use the sim card that was in my gnex. I've even tried to switch my preferences from global to CDMA/LTE but no go. I should have full bars where I'm at.
My phone just stays on 3G.
*EDIT*
Decided to call Verizon and activate the sim card that came w/ the Note and 4G is working so all is well. Kinda weird you have to activate a new sim each time you get a new phone...
I live in Puyallup WA and I have full bars 4G just like I had with my Galaxy Nexus and Razr Maxx. I used to get poor reception in big department stores with my GN, so far the Note 2 has gotten better reception in the same stores.

Hi guys. I had used a HTC One S for many months with the T-Mobile $30 per month unlimited data plan (5GB @ 4G). I am in the New Orleans area and it worked great for those months - 4G all the time. Now, after transferring my SIM card to my super-duper One M7, the network bar only reads E, which I understand is close to 2G speeds. And it is slow. What can the difference be?? The One M7 should have even better antenna, etc. than the One S. Please help.
Unlocked HTC One can't connect to T-Mobile's "4G" on AWS (1700/2100Mhz), only on 1900Mhz.
If your area hasn't be refarmed where they repurpose GSM/EDGE 1900 for "4G" than you'll be looking at EDGE.
There are like a hundred posts discussing this issue.
Wow. How extremely disappointing.

Which HTC One model do you have?
I dont know, the one that shipped on Thursday last week. Pre-ordered unlocked HTC One. Using 2G totally defeats the purpose of why I got this phone! Is there a way I can find out plans for changing the frequencies in my area? This really sucks.

You might need an updated SIM card.

Go into a T-Mo store they can tell you if or about when your area should be reformed.

What do you think the updated SIM card would do? THis is one of the $0.99 SIM cards you order for the pre-paid plan. Does anyone have info on how to get a new SIM card and transfer account accordingly?

It depends on your old SIM card and phone. I know when I switched to my Amaze I had to get a new card for the 4G to work right. I don't know - that is why I suggested going to a retail store and asking.
Developer edition won't do 4g on T-Mo no matter what you do with the sim. The sim is fine. As noted above you need 1900 refarmed to get LTE or you'll be stuck on EDGE
Update: I do NOT have the developer version. I work about a mile away where I get the E signal. Bad. But then at home I get the H signal - GOOD! It stays at 3G then throttles up to H when I need to download something. So is my question still, "When is T Mobile reforming 1900 in my E area?"
Is it reforming or refarming?
What other prepaid carriers should I look at to get the good speeds all over? - New Orleans area. I figure I can just try one out for a month to see if I like it - after all, thats what I got an unlocked phone for, right?
THanks again yall.

I wasn't suggesting he would get aws, just that a new sim might help...

Why does everyone gloat over lte, when it's anything but exclusive in all places , people just should focus on hspa+ ,wait for lte to be out and as common as ever.... before worrying about lte speeds .... Granted it's hit and miss across U.S....for now .
When it's as common and natural as Verizon's lte out which is everywhere then it's worth worrying about .

Hi.
I was wondering if anyone can help me out.
Im currently in Albania using Vodafone sim card. My signal sucks most of the time I have no signal its comes once in a while for couple minutes maybe and then leaves again.
When I put the sim card in my cousins S3 (which his s3 is from here) it works fine, full bars 3G
So its leading me to believe its my notes fault.
My APN settings are good because when the signal comes for that short time my phones data and voice work as they should
I have my HTC One since release and it has been working flawless, However, after I updated to 4.3 I began to notice that my LTE speed was getting slower, now I can't even access the internet anymore without using wifi. Calling and texting works fine. On the top right it has 4g LTE with 3 to 4 bars but no internet access.
I put in my dad's SIM Card and it was working flawless. Is anyone else having this problem? How much will it cost my to get a new SIM Card?
Thank you.

If you go to a T-Mo owned store, not a franchise, they generally replace them free. You can tell which stores are owned on their website.
