Just posted this in the regular m9 section thought I would ask here too.
Hey all! I'm picking up hspa a lot when I know there's LTE.. It bounces back and forth and is killing my battery.. Running viper and Lee droid. Any other tmo users having issues too? Thanks!

Hey, everyone.
My friend and I unlocked his Note and he switched to T-Mobile. We played around with flashing different radios and ended up with one that gets decent signal, but nothing that's satisfactory, especially at his house where my TMO S4 gets 4G. Are there other radios that work on this phone? Can it be any T-Mobile radio?

So you are using an ATT Note? Might try posting in the ATT forum as there are many ATT Note->T-mobile service users there.

I will do that. Thank you
I had the same problem as u as I used an at&t note for Tmobile and 4g speed sucked big time... The reason is because the frequencies and the antenna is different from Tmobile n at&t... U won't ever get actual 4g speeds unless u have an actual Tmobile phone... Unless there's a new way to do it but yeah ask over at the i717 rogers forum...

Hi This might sound like a noobish question and probably is But I had the Maximus 7 rom B4 and I got the full functionallity of LTE. Now I flashed the Viperom 2.7.0 and it's like I only get 1-2 bars of LTE if ever it is LTE it keeps switching to 3G and even Edge. I love this rom and don't want to let it go however If it costs me my connection and speed--> there's no point. Big shout-out to team Venom. I bought the unlock for venom tweaks cause I loved the rom and all the custumizations you can do. My question is may-be I'm doing something wrong or installing it wrong? I have s-off and am rooted. Would appreciate any input on this issue. TY in advance.Sorry I have The HTC One M7 AT&T
Emh, try another radio for AT&T.
Or check the apn..
i picked up a verizon g2 for 150 bucks (steal) and i'm running it on AT&T on hspa+ right now. i have heard that you can flash a stock at&t rom and gain LTE capeablities? is this true? I know there was a thread about doing this for t-mo users on the verizon variant but what about at&t?
I'm dying to have lte on this beast!
LTE is a different radio support. Verizon supports LTE but I'm not sure if the radios are the same. Verizon is the only carrier to really do some heavy tweaks to their rom and hardware.
The Verizon is unlocked for GSM. Honestly your best bet would be to use Tmobile since their HSPA+ service is up to like 42mpbs without the use of LTE radios. I have Verizon and LTE is nice but honestly I mostly keep it disabled just for battery savings. If you can get 3-5mbps then you are solid on a mobile. LTE is nice for WiFi Sharing with a laptop and downloads... but normal day to day facebook, twitter, emails, etc it isn't needed.
You mean use a t-mo rom or switch to t mobile? And yeah at&t hspa+ is not bad at all
so has nobody done this. on the verizon lg g2 dev thread there was a rom for t-mo users that would enable them to have LTE with the verizon g2. has this been done with at&t?
my hspa+ runs pretty good but wouldn't mind having LTE
thanks ahead of time

So do you keep your data on all the time? I keep LTE on all the time beaches I honestly notice a huge difference even with basic things like web browsing and Facebook. I just turn my data off when I'm not using it. I have no use for push notifications of any kind. My email is set for manual refresh and anything else, like Snapchat, will pop up when I turn, my data on. I don't like being blown up by notifications all day. I even have Facebook notifications turned off. I'll check it whenever I feel like it. Lol

Especially if you live in an area like myself where LTE is actually slower than HSPA for most people. The LTE service I am getting from AT&T is terrible in my hometown, and with the silly limits AT&T put on D800, you cannot switch from LTE to HSPA so we are swimming in LTE pool full of people like iPhone and other android users, while the HSPA+ pool is empty because AT&T is not letting anyone go down the block to use HSPA pool..
Im thinking about dropping Sprint and going with Tmobile, and looking to get a HTC One. Only have a few questions about the phone on Tmobile. Hows the speed and Rf performance? Also, i know the phone is HSPA+ and LTE but how dose that work(?) meaning lets say ive got good LTE signal and i go into my work(metal building) will it try and hold the LTE or drop down to HSPA+? I know the new HTC OnePlus per say is coming soon, i may upgrade to that eventually. Currently have a Lg G2 on Sprint and love the phone but not the network. Thanks for the help, im going to think about ti for a week or so.
Hi, i just traded an iPhone for this great piece of equipment, I was on android but decided to give iOS a try (no thanks).
I got this and I got data working, but I feel that the 3G is very slow, it shows a GSM icon for data. Is it just me?
Its on stock rooted 4.1.2 sprint ROM.
Thanks!
I am with the same issue... Have you fixed it?

If your One is from Sprint you are in very bad luck.
Those cant be used on 3G on America (Telcel) since those dont have 850MHz Band for 3G. Is not a matter of software is a matter of hardware, this cant be hacked or dampered. They are locked by Sprint only for 1900/2100 bands.
Only the ones from AT&T or TMobile can be used on those frecuencies.
You only can use M7 from Sprint for make phone calls and SMS along wifi.....for data you will get just 2G - EDGE
Sorry.
