I have an unlocked T-Mo M8 on AT&T, and am missing bands needed by AT&T.
What I have done:
Tried all the radios
Loaded the AT&T RUU
I am still on UMTS when my S4 would be on LTE
I'm at a loss, is there anyway to enable the hidden bands?
Any ideas?
The bands aren't hidden. They aren't there.

Maybe that's true but I can't help but think that they are. With the AT&T M7, they issued an update to add some bands. The hardware HAS to be identical between all M8's
So far all reviews have said the T-Mobile version is missing bands 2, 5 and 7. And it also doesn't have qualcomm's antenna tuner. That right there probably was the nail in the coffin.

Thanks for the info. Guess I'm just stuck having spotty LTE.
I wouldn't totally give up, but as said before and the fact T-Mobile skimped out on the case and headphones in the box and the antenna tuner doesn't bode well for a 'fix'. It was probably a cost cutting move.

Well i was looking about thru all options etc and i found this:
but when i turn it on i get no Connection at all, it starts at G----E---3G---H---H+ and then no more connection. (Well i got no LTE data contract) but why is this option there? Could it be eventually unlocked via Software? Root f.e.?

I wondered this too. Think its just firmware related. But three uk keep telling me n7100 will support their 4g. So I wait to find out
Might it just be samsung beeing smart? solder an LTE chip. done!
Would be interesting to see if everyone has this option?

Their 4G is just probably the same gimmick as AT&T's claim that HSPA+ is 4G.
Well even this option is in galaxy note 1 too
It's just an APN setting it has nothing to do with LTE radio's
My note 1 also has this option!

Guys, android gives that option, not your phone..
only the "05" devices (like N7105 and GT-9305) do have LTE capability.

Correct, if you have a N7100 it is definitely NOT an LTE compatible device.

Even then the n7100 does not support dc-hsdpa, so if that's what they're calling 4g the n7100 still won't be compatible.

Anyone on Virgin Mobile been having the worst reception lately? I get no 3G, pure 1x. This occurred to me almost a week ago now. Reception goes from 3 to 0. And sometimes no data at all.
I'm on the east coast at PA Philadelphia, and I don't know if Virgin Mobile is doing something, or if its that Hurricane that's hitting.

Also, MMS keeps doing this when downloaded, and some other error when sending after 10 minutes.

I had these said issues few days back on stock or custom Rom. Virgins network sucks right now. I'm thinking of getting unlocked nexus from Google. Freedom of choice that way
sentfromybrain
You had them, did they go away, or do you still have them?
I think it's Sprint. Releasing phones with LTE, while they don't have LTE yet. Maybe Sprint is doing something. They said something about LTE in December.
Yea they persisted for a few days. But now back to average speeds and connection times. Slow still

Can the htc one be used on straight talk? Im seeing they have much lower prices and am thinking about looking into it. Does anyone do it? What are the advantages or disadvantages?
It'd be best to grab a T-Mobile, at&t, or unlocked one tbh. Verizon would be much more of a pain in the butt to get working with straight talk.

Why is that? From what I have read straight talk uses Verizon networks.

If you go to the straighttalk site they have a compatibility checker. http://www.byopfinder.com/byopfinder/straighttalk/index.html?fullscreen=true You just put in the phones esn and your zip code. When i put mine in it said it was compatible on either the at&t or t-mobile networks (gsm).

Straighttalk is great untill it gets twords the end of the month. Then it seems like they do some major data throttling. If your not to concerned with data speed, its a great deal. Call wise its excelent, at least in my area. I have an LG Optimus Showtime thru straighttalk from my job, but it is cdma and uses verizons towers.

Thanks I will read up on it. I would love to switch to T-Mobile or some other carrier,problem is I live in a very rural area and Verizon is the only option that has decent coverage out here.

I watched a few unboxing videos of the HTC One M9 and I noticed that the unlocked version inlcudes HTC headphones in the box, but from what I've seen, the carrier versions don't include them. Can anyone confirm or deny this?
I do have the one m9 from o2 Germany in gunmetal grey (cid o2___102)
There are headphones included :thumbup:

They were included in my box from Telstra in Australia, the same awesome free earphones that I use everyday. Still using my M8 ones

Maybe the U.S. carrier phones got gypped? The AT&T unboxing video I saw didn't have them. Fortunately though, I'm going to buy an international unlocked version so I don't have to deal with all of the crapware the carriers put on the phones (and slow updates as well). I made that mistake with my Galaxy S4 (which I loathe...) and won't be making that mistake again. Does anyone know the benefit of buying an unlocked M9 over the developer one? Many people don't feel a need to unlock the bootloader on their phone but if they ever want to, it's nice to have one already unlocked. I'm assuming that the warranty covers both anyway.
Got my M9 yesterday from a Caphone Warehouse in UK and the box included the headphones
Got mine from AT&T yesterday w/ no headphones.

Did it come with a regular charger or a Quick Charge 2.0 charger?
No headphones with my T-Mobile version. Regular charger.

That's a bummer. It's odd that the U.S. carrier versions don't include them...

Well that's lame. The Nexus 6 comes with the quick charger...
I've got the international variant and am enjoying it, save for the BL unlock malarkey surrounding non EU variants. I'm currently on T-Mobile, and I know for a fact that I'm getting LTE speeds, as is provided in the screenshot, but the icon simply shows 4G.
It doesn't bother me much at all, but I do like the way the LTE shows on the U.S. models (I think they're U.S. models). Has anyone with an H815 been able to get it to show LTE rather than just 4G? Sure would be nice if we get something like tweakbox like the G3 had to modify whatever we wanted! But alas, I don't think a stable version of xposed will be out for our devices for a long time.

I think you've misunderstood, I know I'm getting LTE already. I've setup the APN and whatnot already, I'm simply trying to get the LTE icon to show the way it does on the U.S. variants. I know it's a long shot, but I was wondering if there was some way it could be accomplished on the H815.
For instance, this G4 clearly has superior looking icons on the status bar, including "LTE" on top.
I'm pushing this up as I have the same issue with an h818p.
Any solutions NOW?
