Hello, I have a AT&T HTC Inspire 4g.
I don`t live in the States, and my problem with that is the fact that in my country the 3g network runs at 2100, and the phone isn`t supporting it.
I read that my operator runs 2g on 900, and also checked that the phone supports it, but there is no option in the menu to change from 3g/4g to 2g
Can you tell me how and if I can do it
Thank you in advance
SOLVED!
Fist write this in "Phone"
*#*#4636#*#*
Then change->
Phone information > Set preferred network type > to GSM only
Then make new access point names - name: simple, apn: simple

before rooting my phone under network mode I used to have the option to select WCDMA/HSDPA but after rooting it that option has changed to GSM/WCDMA, how to I fix this?
Unroot........
Naaaah, i have always had gsm/wcdma option, but phone is working in hsdpa mode according to speedtest.net. So it seems to be only a name difference.
i have the same problom my phone has no 3g or H signel anymore
try to enter the apn settings manually.
in the UK we always had GSM/WCDMA even if the phone was running in HSDPA, and since most of you root onto the generic UK firmware that is your answer.
Gsm/hspa is probably a operator specific branding. But its total nonsense , gsm/wcdma is the correct wording as wcdma is umts and hspa is a software specific upgrade which is not available on all towers in most networks.
But in order to use it at all WCDMA (umts) needs to be enabled

Hi,
I wanted to ask others their experience with Lumia 920 (Rogers version) with LTE Service.
I have LTE service with Telus in the area where I live. I get excellent LTE service with my Samsung Galaxy sIII.
The LTE service with the Lumia 920 does not seem as good, Galaxy always seem to have LTE, Lumia reverts back to 4G much of the time.
I have settings set to LTE
Questions:
Is there a better radio that could be flashed for the Lumia 920, Rogers uses Band 4 (AWS 1700) for their LTE the same as Telus?
Is there a setting in the phone is "tune" the radio to work better with Telus LTE service?
Is this something I need to "suck it up" since it is a unlocked phone?
I have a Rogers phone on TELUS. Indicator states 4G but I'm getting lte speeds going by speed tests.

Enable LTE on Telus
I also have the Rogers 920 on Telus... I've always had the 4G indicator when a data connection was established and a 3G indicator when it was idle. When correctly on LTE, the indicator will always be LTE (with or without an active data connection). Even though the speeds were fairly high, I was pretty sure it wasn't LTE but rather HSPA+.
Anyways, I can report that 4G isn't LTE; I'm now always getting LTE when in LTE-enabled zones (it goes back to 3G/4G when outside of the city or in a very low reception area zone). The only trick I found to getting it to work is the following (some steps may not be required but that's what I do and it always worked) following a hard-reset (soft-resets don't need this, LTE always enables itself for me):
Install the "access point" application
Go into the "access point" application in your settings
Add a new APN in "access point" (the fields I didn't specify is because I left them blank or kept the default value)
- Connection name: TELUS LTE (it can be what ever, that's just what I chose)
- Data type: LTE
[Internet APN]
- Access Point Name: sp.telus.com
[MMS APN]
- MMS Access Point Name: sp.telus.com
- Proxy address: 74.49.0.18
- Proxy port: 80
- MMSC address: http://aliasredirect.net/proxy/mmsc
Go into "cellular" in your settings
Switch the "Highest connection speed" value to "3G"
Go back into the "access point" application
Activate the newly created "TELUS LTE" APN
Wait a minute or restart the phone (I think waiting a minute worked for me the last time I tried instead of a restart)
Go back into "celluar"
Switch the "Highest connection speed" value to "LTE"
Wait about a minute and LTE should kick in if you're in a LTE zone
Go back into the "access point" application
Activate the default "TELUS" APN that comes from the SIM card (this will re-enable tethering while supporting LTE)
Those steps appear to be the magic recipe that worked for me following two hard-resets... Like I said, it could be any combination of the above steps and not necessarily all them... Can't guaranty it'll also work for you but it's worth a try.
I have a one converted to GPE and where I live I get great LTE coverage. However at work its weak and my one is constantly switching between LTE and hspa.
How would I set my phone to only connect to hspa while at work to avoid the constant switching? In setting under network mode there is only options for LTE 3g and 2g.
Does 3g include hspa and if not I've read about a code to enter from dialpad that allows u to set netowkr. I need a method that will allow me to easily switch it depending on where I am.
If anyone knows how to do this any help would be great.
Hi am Haruna from Ghana.
I bought Alcatel Ideal 4060a (AT&T) model a couple of months ago, but problem is that the network doesn't change at all its always at 2g/EDGE no matter what i do or which network i put inside the phone.
Am currently using MTN (Scancom) which is a 4g Sim card and the phone is unlocked to any network.
And there is no option in the settings that you normally choose from your preferred network mode.
So i stated googling for the solution when i came across this code (*#*#4636#*#*) which i can use to change my preferred network, but whenever i change it, nothing happen, i mean nothing at all, all it does is that, when i select "only WCDMA" i will not get service/network, when i select "LTE only" no network, the only thing that work is GSM or WCDMA preferred.
So guys i urgently need your help as am getting frustrating by this phone.
E/GPRS is slow max u can get is 28KiBps, switch to 3g or 4g, it also depended on your att network coverage, Are you living inside bunker?
Hi guys, just a quick question here. My LTE (4g) is hit and miss so I currently have it set to WCDMA preferred/GSM.
Is there such an option that can give me WCDMA preferred/LTE? (So that my phone can automatically switch to LTE in areas where's its stronger than WCDMA)
If I have it on default LTE preferred it will only switch to WCDMA when LTE is non existant which is useless. I just want it to switch to what ever has the highest signal.
Cheers ?
