How do you enable hspa+ on an atrix 4g? I can never seem to get the "H+" or "4g" icon, only H (i've checked inside the phone settings and it is definitely just hspa, not hspa+, or hspa: category 10 or otherwise)
I bought my atrix 4g off craigslist and used it on ATT straight talk for a month and had horrible speeds and never had hspa+ (only hspa) so I had the phone carrier unlocked and took it to tmobile monthly 4g but still I am only getting hspa (not hspa+).
Basically, is this phone capable of getting "pseduo-4g" hspa+ or is it locked to hspa? I've seen several mentions of ATT shipping the phone with hspa+ disabled, but no way of knowing how to enable it.
Other info: I am currently using neutrino ROM.
Thanks!
You will only get edge on t mobile with any att phone.............

Well, its now an unlocked phone and I know I get more than edge because I have hspa right now.

I already gave you the answer... If you believe you can get 3g with an atrix 2 on t mobile, you must be a hero.
The bands are not compatible. A quick google search will plainly show you that.

Except that Tmobile is refarming their 1900mhz pcs from 2g to 3g... so yeah you can. Las Vegas and Kansas City are already official... so what?

Also, someone correct me if I'm wrong, the Atrix 4G does 14.4mbps hspa, isn't the 21mbps the actual hspa+?
I know it may not be possible but, Hes talking about an ATRIX 4g. Not ATRIX 2. READ MUCH???

The Atrix 4G and the Atrix 2 both support T-Mobile's "4G" network which is simply HSPA+ but the best you'll do with the Atrix 4G is 14.4 Mbps (good luck getting that actual speed). The Atrix 2 can hit the 21.1Mbps but not the 42Mbps speeds, and again, good luck with that.
The Atrix 4G is fully capable of being used with T-Mobile now that they are refarming/rolling out their 3G and "4G" 1900 MHz band, people in some areas still haven't gotten the upgrade yet but in many places in the US you can get 3G speeds and even the "4G" HSPA+ with that device on T-Mobile without issues. Here in Vegas when they turned that on a few weeks back (the day the iPhone 5 was released) I had an Atrix 4G and got T-Mobile 3G/HSPA+ service that afternoon with speeds in excess of 6Mbps because I live across the street from a cell site for them, average is about 3-5Mbps most of the time.
The Atrix 4G will most commonly show HSPA:10 when used with T-Mobile, in my experience (that's on ICS or JB ROMs, GB won't show that level of detail/info).
As for the HSPA or HSPA+, they all basically work the same way. 14.4Mbps is considered under the HSPA+ "umbrella" as the saying might go.

I didn't know tmob where deploying a hspa frequency that at&T use. Thanks for that tip.
10Mbps achieved on Atrix on at&T 3g network here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1905464
hspa category 10 is 'characterized' as hspa+ but is not hspa+ (evolved hspa) and should not display h+ or 4g on the status bar for that reason. The 4g branding is exactly that... "branding" and at&T should have never used 4g in the name in my opinion. They always said "4g like speeds"
See post #4 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1912716 where there are also a couple links I posted that I found interesting on this subject.

Hmm, interesting info guys. I do indeed live in Vegas and have been using a GB ROM (maybe I'm not seeing hspa: category 10 because of this).
Sounds like I've done all I can then, thanks!

Only ics and jb display the additional radio info.
The key is that you are on a radio that is suited to your rom and provider. 36p and 37p are the two most popular at&t radios, 37p being the official production release and used on many releases. Both 36p and 37p operate at hspa 10. Each provider is at differing phases, as well as having differing standards in their network, for how they implement the any bells and whistles of cellular. There is so much to it.

Might get the app on Google Play called Antennas, it'll show you the cell sites/towers you're connected to on maps; if you're connected at a given mode (like HSPA or UMTS) but you're pretty far from the site/tower, that could be the primary reason you get the "terrible" speeds. Antennas does work best, however, by putting the phone in 2G/EDGE mode but it is capable of doing 3G/4G/HSPA/UMTS/etc as well.
I live literally across the street from the main site/tower that I stay connected to so I pull 5-8Mbps when I'm in HSPA+ mode but, I keep my Photon in 2G/EDGE mode probably 99% of the time, I have Wi-Fi at home also so there's just no reason to use up any of my 5GB of bandwidth for the "4G" side of things.
T-Mobile 1900 mhz service on Atrix 4G in MD!!
So having played with a couple of 4Gś @ work (and how unawesome they made my G2x look!) I purchased a combo phone and lapdock. This before i realized they worked on different frequencies!!! DOH!
Fortunately, T-Mobś been ahead of me on the curve. I read that they started the long road to providing their service to the souls stranded out in Verizon &/or AT&T limbo...
So I swapped my sim and...Yaaaay! 4 of 5 bars of....wait for it... H+!!!:laugh:
Then, BOOOOO! No data! No MMS. No internet!:crying:
A few hours of online (and Iḿ ashamed to say, trial and error build prop editing) plus 3 calls to T-Mob yielded this in an email:
¨APN settings for data and picture messaging (MMS): Android" on T-mobileś support page (as a noob I cannot post the link):silly:
Iḿ now docked, working, spotifying and sharing ´ẃif my XDA fam!¨

I recently bought a Droid DNA about a week ago, it has S-off its unlocked, rooted stock. Basically I am in Toronto and I am on Wind Mobile, its good enough for what i need at the moment. I am paying 30$ for unlimited talk/text + data which i am currently using on the my Nexus 4.
Now I found out the DNA doesn't work on AWS so that's a bummer but there are other carriers if i really need it. Is here anyway that i can use my DNA on Wind Mobile by flashing the radio or messing with some settings because it can connect to roaming just not home.
Thanks.

fist check the freq bands and make sure that the antennae that comes with the DNA using the gsm settings are compatible. If they are, you should just need to set your phone to gsm and add the correct APN for Winds network.
Nope, which bands a phone is compatible with is a hardware thing and can't be changed through software.

Yeah that's what i thought but I just figured I ask just in case there was a solution. No big deal, I'm just getting a good price with Wind that the main reason, so in case I want to switch to the DNA i can just switch to another carrier.
Thanks for the help
Do not flash radios that aren't for the DNA specifically or you will brick the device...

The phone is quad band HSPA except 1700, Quad band Edge and HSPA you should get HSPA+ if the network your talking about uses 1900 like AT&T if it uses the right frequencies you can use AWS HSPA+ I would test the simcard add the proper APN in the settings and she if you get above edge.

I put in the sim card and It only detects it as "Wind Away" and its connects as roaming. Wind runs on 1700/2100 shouldn't it not be able to connect at all? Why do you think it connects to roaming?
Would I be able to unlock, root this phone (LG Optimus G E970 ) and run it on T-Mobile network. I am hearing multiple reports - some say it will only get 2G data while others say it will work. Since T-Mobile might be introducing LG Optimus G Pro on their network in the future and with the reframing going on I am wondering if the phone will at least get 3G data? Please can someone confirm?
Of course, speeds and coverage depend on network provider but I just want to be sure that I can get at least 3G in a big city before I jump in.
Lucky you. You'll actually get the full LTE package with this model of the Optimus G!!!!. But coverage is going to be ass if your coming from AT&T or Verizon.
T mobile LTE will be available to you when it comes to your area. The AT&T Optimus G runs on bands 4 and 17, T mobile will have band 4 so its all good. Depending on where you live, LTE might not available for a while..
Depending on you area, if Tmo is using 1900 band for HSPA+ you will get HSPA+ 21
I know for a fact because I was testing it for a month of unlimited data no contract on my unlocked ATT Optimus G in the Los Angeles Area. I was getting about 5 Mbps down and 1.5 Mbps Up.
works for me... king of

I am on Tmobile in maryland near Washington, DC. After I set up the APN to fast.tmobile.com, I get pretty good 4g. I have yet to see LTE or 3g. I do get edge in some more rural areas. I had hotspot working okay after I unchecked entitlement from the hidden menu, But after I flashed the stock jellybean, the option is no longer in my hidden menu so although I still get data service, I cant use it as hotspot
I have this on T-mobile and so far i have been getting 2g/3g not 4g yet but ive only been using it on the roads. not sure if thats why.
do i have to set the apn even after i unlock it for higher speeds?
I've been thinking about switching an AT&T E970 to T-Mobile, but I'm slightly confused in regards to data speeds. For my AT&T iPhone 5, I'll mostly get EDGE, unless I live in an area with T-Mobile's refarmed HSPA+, or their LTE (both supposedly coming this month).
From what I've read, the AT&T E970 should pretty much be getting everything from T-Mobile, including 3G?

I recently switched my e970 to t-mobile so I had to unlock and set the apn and all I get is 4g but not LTE my speed test came out 10mb down 2-15mb up. I was playing around with the hidden menus to try LTE but when I wanted to activate the "AWS" which is band 4 it said "FAIL" does this have to do with permissions because im not rooted. I know south florida has no LTE yet but wouldn't I still be able to enable LTE? As far as the hidden menus just dial 8345#*970# if you get an error you have to install the service menu apk you can find it if you search. Play around with the hidden menu LTE-only option and see what you get. And just to put it out there i believe the E970 supports HSPA+ 42 on tmobile refarmed 1900 band.

I have installed the service menu apk and have been playing around with LTE only option but no luck. When I chose band 4, my signal bar went all the down to only one bar though cannot make calls. I've also tried all the bands but none of them worked. Also the E970 does not support 42 mbps, only 21 mbps max.

What you want to do is download the (service menu app), you can search for it here on this site it's where I got mine. After you installed it, go to WCDMA - only then Modem Settings then Network Mode then choose WCDMA 1900 and you're all set.

Yesterday I gave up and rooted, unlocked, installed cwm and started flashing nexus 4 radios, the. 48 one is supposed to be great for tmo and it does work well, faster download and uploads, along with no data drops, while most of the older and newest India radio had many drops during speed tests.
I went into the "secret menu" and selected wcdma 1900 only but it still keeps me on umts /hspap, question is maybe that's how the network works here? When I'm downloading, loading something or doing a speed test it switches to H when I'm not doing anything it goes to umts?
I'll find the apk and try it for **** and giggles.
I use this code 3845#*970#
The app I downloaded does nothing.

I'll miss AT&T's LTE as well, but even if I get just 5Mbps on T-Mobile then I'm happy. I have no need for anything faster than that.
I recently bought an unlocked Atrix 4g off ebay to use on my tmobile plan. Everything went smooth except that I'm having issues with slow internet. I've looked all over for a solution(youtube, google, xda forums, etc.) All I've been able to come up with was that until late 2012 this phone wasn't even able to connect to tmobile except on 2g, and a bunch of useless(to me) instructions on how to change my APN.
At this point the phone tells me I'm on 3g, and I consistently have 3-5 bars. My old sidekick had 4g in 90% of the area and 3g everywhere else, so I know for a fact that there is coverage. However when I do a speed test I get an average of 25-50Kbps download and upload, occasionally I get 170Kbps. I've called tmobile and verified that there is EDGE network support in my area(apparently also HSPDA but no HSPA+). I just installed GSM Singal Monitoring app from the play store which is also telling me I'm on EDGE network type.
I've tried every combination of APN settings I can find on the internet including cingular settings and have come up with nothing. This data transfer rates don't drop, and don't get better. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm sure it's not the phone, I can get 18Mbps at work on the wifi(running tests, downloads I've seen up to 4MB/s or 32Mbps). Also if there's anything I need to do on the phone to get internet speeds which requires root, I've already rooted the phone. The only thing I've installed since the root is CWM.
I have used both the Atrix 4G and Atrix HD on T-Mobile. The 4G does not have the radio frequencies needed for 4G / LTE data service from T-Mobile, but the HD does. In fact the HD is a perfect match for T-Mobile frequencies. You can check out the detailed specs for these phones on GSMARENA.

Im not sure why but I cannot use 3g.Not for a lack of trying though.(tried many apn settings,and even playing with the Dev radio settings)
I want to set the facts straight. The only T-Mobile frequencies that are compatible with the bands on our 'specific' devices are for 2G, Recently T-Mobile has refarmed their towers to support unlocked AT&T devices like ours, specifically they refarmed the towers in 'certain' areas to broadcast and receive 1900 mhz waves that our device's can use for 3G and so called "4G" If you only get 2G that's because there are no nearby towers functioning on the 1900 mhz frequencies.

I would like to add that I own an Atrix 4G on T-Mobile (in Chicago), and I get Edge, 3G AND HSPA+ signals. OP was correct in that the phone wasn't able to connect to the other bands except on 2G until about december 2012 (they expanded in order to entice iPhone users to switch providers).
But currently the MB860 (Atrix 4G) *does* work on HSPA+ (which is often called 4G, even though it is not true 4G LTE), which is still much faster than 3G.
post or send be a copy of your apn settings.I'm in Houston and they've reformed their towers here.

I am getting amazing 4G LTE from ATT towers GSM through straight talk on my Sprint note edge. I did not enable any new bands with qxdm, mainly because it wouldn't let me and I couldn't figure out why lol. So playing around with my settings all the time, I stumbled upon LTE and I want to share it with you guys.
OK first thing I did was go buy a straight talk phone, not the Sim pack, the zte716bl because it was the cheapest that had 4glte and a Sim card. I activated the phone with the 60 dollar plan that has 10 gigs. I took the Sim card from the phone and placed it in my Sprint note edge. I used the app from Idoneapps.com to unlock the edge. I then toggled the gcf setting. Then dial ##data#, put in your msl, turn on the EHRPD, goto More, HRD/1X, select hybrid modemode at top Let phone reboot. Then back to ##data#, and select LTE and enable it. APN settings select automatic, and use the original Straight talk apn tfdata.
I connect to sprints band 25, and use it somehow with the att straight talk Sim card. I live in North Georgia as well, may not work elsewhere.
Hello
Thank you for share this information. I have some questions
1st. What is the exact LTE band (Frequency) that use AT&T Straight Talk?
2nd. Do you know with what LTE bands works this exact model (sm-n915p)?
in the samsung official site says the bands are there: 4G FDD LTE: B25(1900), B26(850); 4G TDD LTE: B41(2500) but in some places say it is also capable with LTE band 4 (1700/2100 mhz) and band 3 (1800 mhz)
As it is a mainly CDMA phone not always the GSM specs are 100% clear, for this reason is important, helpful and grateful a work as you have done
here is the samsung site for more info:
