How to increase data speed! Non LTE - T-Mobile HTC One (M7)

So you are like me in an area where there is no LTE and your data speed is slow. Just add the HSPA APN and your speed will increase. Simple...
Here are some screenshots on what to add.

I'll verify this. Went from 5 down to 13 in downtown Fort Worth.

i can confirm that this does infact work

Wow! Quite an improvement!
went from 5 down to 14 down

Did you change the network mode from gsm/wcdma/lte auto to gsm/wcdma auto?

Didn't work for me. I got slower speeds to equal. I'm in Rochester NY.

Okay, so you're saying an area that doesn't have LTE. What if you do have LTE? I have LTE in places around Houston, but I'd love for my HSPA to be faster. Will this break my LTE?
It's so awesome. I'm at my friend's apt right now and I seen 24.8Mbps. Like WTF!? \('o')/
It does say adding something and not just replacing. I guess I can give this a try right now. I'll post back to see if my LTE falters.
EDIT: Well I've added the new APN. Everytime I try and select it, it jumps back to the default APN. Maybe it will switch when I leave this LTE area. I'll try then.

How do I get to the area where I add the apn setting?

I've gone back and forth on the change and at times, the upload speed is quite miserable. I've seen some uptick in the download speeds for the better on the order of going from around 2.5 - 2.9M up to 3.6 - 4.6M. Certainly not the increases some of you are seeing, but I'll keep my eye on this. Thanks nonetheless!

oh wow
it worked!

Can't get the settings to stick. Keeps defaulting back. Any ideas?

Make sure your putting the information in right.
And this does work, I've gone from an average of 3 to 4 down to 14 to 17 down. My upload hasn't changed much but that's fine.

That happened to me at some point. Try setting your roaming option to Sprint Only, then toggling Network Mode to CDMA only then back to LTE/CDMA. That fixed it for me. Hope this helps.
sorry delete
That didn't fix it :/ any other suggestions? Sprint already reset data on their side.

After this process hit the symbol for menu on screen near the top right corner. This will do a restore, this is where it gets tricky. Because, presumably, your data profile is missing an active profile. This is an issue.

From there, your phone will do a hands free activation, if this fails, go to your dialer, hit ##3282#, go to edit mode, enter msl, go to first menu data / data profile tab, make sure Active profiles is set to 1 and all selections except for home address have been filled in. Back out completely to home screen. Go to settings, system updates, profile update.

I got that to successfully work.. but it still is stuck at 1x afterwards.
Have you tried putting it on cdma only and leaving it?
You may have to turn mobile data off then back on afterwards

I had a customer having the same issue from day one with the phone. It slowly became an irritation for them over the last month, couldn't believe they put up with it. I increased tower priority, set it to sprint only, did a recovery, etc. Nothing seemed to work, I'm so use to a quick fix I never checked the settings. His was completely blank, no root, no custom roms etc. Just a bad activation

Data with CM9.1 (LTE) *SOLVED*

Hello people new here and im digging around with no exact answer so I decided to open a thread. I just rooted note today and I flashes CM9.1 by cyanogen (QuincyATT) version and I may be having data issues or not lol.
When I try and choose lTE/GSM under settings it doesn't let me; just defaults back to GSM automatically. Also I feel like data goes in and out or maybe its just me. Any suggestions? I'm in an LTE area...

Did you ask at&t to provision your sim for LTE? When I got my note I had to do that.

Yes. Will LTE work automatically? I'm assuming theres no icon for it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
It will automatically connect if available. The icon is 4g. If you see H then you're not on lte because it isn't available or possibly because of that setting.
This is mine by default. Honestly not sure if it makes a difference.
Gubment Cheeze
Damnit lol. I'm in an LTE area but mine just stays on h+. OK I'll try and figure out whats going on. By chance do you remember on the original rom what the LTE icon looked like?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
On the stock ROM, the icon was always 4G unless you were in an lte area....Then it was 4Glte.

I still have the same issue as well with a new sim. Haven't resolved the issue yet just wont stick lol. I dont know what to do I love this CM9.1 so much I refuse to switch. Ive just been using h+ its about 7mb down but nothing compared to when I hit 27mb down on LTE.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Not sure if this will do anything, but have you tried clearing cache and dalvik in recovery and then seeing if setting will stick? If that doesnt work, try wiping again, but then dirty flash the ROM and gapps. Another option(and I'm not sure what this will do) is trying to clear data in settings apk and starting over with all your settings. That will wipe everything back to stock settings as if you just flashed. Good luck guys.

@op after trying numerous different suggestions from the community the only success I've had is to flash the GB modem of flapjaxx. I get stable lte but it leaves me with baseband unknown. It works though. Hope this helps and I'll keep trying.

Man I really don't want to switch to GB base lol, I'd rather be on touch wiz. After doing some research I'm starting to believe it may be the modem. My phone arrived with ice cream so I'm betting that has a lot to do with my issues. I'm going to change my modem for the first time to see if I can switch to LTE
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
Possibly a dumb question. But after you deleted your APN, and entered a new one, did you press menu and save?
Proper LTE APN for your carrier, with LTE sim card and LTE plan, you should get LTE running.
for CM9/AOSP/AOKP/CM10 type roms, LTE will show up as 4G.
Another way to test is to install a UCLF6 ROM. Get that up and running. Then go to the APN settings, and the LTE APN's should be loaded.
To confirm LTE is connected, make sure you are in an LTE area, and you can check in Status, or open up the phone dialer, and do *#2263*.
Then select LTE, and All types in LTE. If you are running in LTE there, you should be able to get it up and running with any CM ROM.
I switched to the touchwiz black star rom and I'm on LTE right now. Same modem I had on cm9.1. Its puzzling why it wouldn't turn on. Oh well ill stick with touch wiz thanks anyways guys!

My best guess, is what @w7excursion said. Your sim card has not been programmed for your account. Your best bet, would be to take it to Sprint store, that is also a repair facility. You may have to go to more than one, until you find someone competent enough to handle it.

And yea I got it from best buy and had them replace my first one and then I called sprint like a month ago and they stated they had no idea. But if you literally Google those words sprint and note 3 you will see other people are having issues with it. I think sprint is having problems having to depend on a similar card for lte.

Yea, I just purchased Roam Control today hoping that would help, but it doesn't seem to force roaming for me. I'm emailing them now. It doesn't seem like his thread has been very active either.
I found a thread that had several PRL's, but it seems that most don't give me a data connection. I was hoping somebody had some more information on PRL's as well.

How are your settings in menu/more settings? Network? Is data roaming checked? How are you writing these prl?

Thank you.
I finally opened the box.
This LTE Roam is all over (besides the options in ##DATA# menus).
It's now a separate checkbox in Roaming and Roaming Guards Both Domestic and International. 3 new Checkboxes.
So does anyone one know the policy on LTE Roaming? Will we get charged? Will it now work?
