[Q] My One never connects to LTE while my wife's S4 connects fine - T-Mobile HTC One (M7)

Hi everyone,
I have a prepaid plan on my T-Mobile One PN07130, updated to 4.4.2 last night as well. It will not connect to LTE, only up to UMTS/H+. My wife's S4 right next to it is connected to LTE with no problem.
The network mode is set to GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto, my APN is identical to my wife's S4.
Any idea what it might be?
Thanks!

Take out SIM card and put it back in and restart the phone. If that doesn't work you can do a factory data reset.

The only thing i can think of is APN settings.
Double check them and make sure its exact.
I once made a mistake of putting fast-t_mobile.com and another time put fast.t_moble.com

Thanks guys for the input but I've tried these as well as verified settings.
What I did find different is that her S4 has the network modes listed as LTE/WCDMA/GSM while my One is listing GSM/WCDMA/LTE. Does it mean LTE is used last?
I think I'll just stop by a T-Mo store and see if they can figure it out.
If I have any findings I'll report back.

Mine is listed the same way.

The order they are listed doesnt have anyhting to do with priority.
LTE will always be given higher priority, then WCDMA then GSM.
Your wifes phone is a Samsung phone so they list them differently.. but the priorities are the same.

I see. Mine was activated fresh while my wife's S4 was activated by porting her number from Verizon. I wonder if she has some kind of provisions on her account that I don't have, therefore she gets LTE while I don't...
I'm hoping to get to a T-Mo store today and get this sorted out.

have you tried calling T-Mobile?

Ha, so I went to a local T-Mo store, the guy looked at the phone, rebooted, checked APN and all other mobile settings. He said all looks good, but no LTE.
He said, lemme go to the back and get a new SIM card. He scanned it into the system, put it in, and BAM! LTE right away!
The SIM I had in there, I purchased directly from T-Mobile, so was my wife's SIM. He said the SIM apparently wasn't capable of LTE... Never heard of such thing.
Anyway, I'm a happy camper now
Thanks all for the suggestions!

Glad its working. Probably a glitch in the system during initial set up. Now that the rep replaced your SIM the system reset its self and all is good..

[Q] Aria as a Micro tablet!?

Hey guy/gals I have had my Aria now for near half a year.
I got it with AT&Ts Hostile take over of the Alltel cellular in my area.
Well needless to say AT&T really blew my skirt up so I went and got a DROID Inc2 from Verizon!
Anyway...
...back to what I was saying. I have this nearly untouched Aria that I have S-off and no service. I have set it up with CM7 and CWM v2.5.0.7 so it can charge while off.
I have been using it to stream video of my fish tank on USTREAM to my 5yo Niece, and occasionally as a backup MP3 player but the lock screen says "No SIM Card" "Please insert SIM card" I have taken the SIM card out so I am not inadvertently using AT&T service so they can bill me more for service that does not work in my area.
I would like to know if there is a way to hide this?
I have already tried to addro.carrier=wifi-only​ to the build.prop but it didn't work.
Any Ideas?
Anyone else doing this?
Why is the sky blue?
Where do babies come from?
WHY?
...Yeah thanks guys! I know there is an answer lurking out there somewhere...
Just put in an Old sim card that's been deactivated, ,,if the card has no service u can't get charged for anything

And someone correct me if I'm wrong here, but with a deactivated sim in there you can also use the device to call 911 in an emergency, for whatever that's worth...

You don't even need a SIM card to call 911.

Yes even with the sim card out you can make emergency calls.

No signal

I unlock Galaxy Notes alot and this is the second one that does this. As soon as it unlocks it looses all cellular network and wont activate with any sim, not even att. I have tried apns (restoring and creating) Restoring with Odin and nothing works. Its as if its network bricked. The imei is there and original baseband. Someone please help...

Ok first you have give it time between posts...asking for assistance or info...you have give it time to get your issue's addressed...XDA is a world wide community...
have you taken it to your carrier to see if they can put in on the network,
you prob have to get you imei set with the carrier what carrier are you using, say verizon on your profile is this what you are using?
I had to do this with my carrier on a different phone, call them or go by the carrier store...
you said when you unlock it, it wont connect to att...is an att note...why you unlock it for an att sim? or am i not reading it right?
Thanks for the reply... I have spent so much time looking for a solution online and nothing... well I unlocked it for t-mobile first and got network unlock successful. Then that stupid circle stayed and never gave me signal. Now I dont care what carrier its on I just want it working but not even its original carrier will work (ATT). I called cellunlocker.net and they said to call att. i called att and they blew me off as well. I called att and they said its not unlockable?? what the heck does that mean?? its a gsm phone!! So now im stuck with no signal ever since i entered the unlock code.
Same
I was having same issues my apn came up with cingular. Ive never had them so im playing with those settings now...we will see if this helps

Cingular APN is OK. But you need to call at&t store and ask them to reprovision your sim so you can use LTE/4g network (if it's available).
When they change that (it doesn't change your rate plan) your APN will change to PTA.

When you unlock its a permanent change in your phone that let's you use any GSM carrier sim card.
You have to flash a modem compatible with the network. That is your base and number. For at&t the current modem is ULCF5, and its good for all North America, except T-Mobile, Wind(Canada).

how to get internet on this phone using gophone

currently I'm using T-Mobile which runs at edge speed. I got a ATT sim card but can't get the internet on the phone and i signed up for the 50 dollar plan which is unlimited everything. could some one link instructions on to get the internet on the phone. also is there a chance this phone will get 4g on it? right now i have att, tmobile, and simple plan sim cards. i saw something about straight talk being on att in the forum. what's the easiest solution?

Simple answer, you can't.
Long discussion as to why you can't is here.

Yes you can but it wont be 4g nor LTE, just a 3g .I've been using gophone for the past 8 months with the I9100, the Note, the nexus, the one x and now the S3. OP, in addition to the 50$ a month's you have to add a data package.
http://m.androidcentral.com/att-introduces-new-data-plans-gophone-customers
I'm using the 25$ for 1gig of data. Once you purchased that you have to enter the following apn under mobile network settings:

Then your data will work. It has to be the I9300 not the carriers S3 version. Any other unlocked, unbranded smartphone would also be fine.

[Q] which one would work for verizon

I have been looking for a gear s for a little while. And since in have the extra cash I'd like to get one. But I'm a little confused. I have seen the international unlocked ones. And I have seen the T-Mobile unlocked ones also. I am looking to add it to my Verizon service so I'd be getting a Sim card from Verizon to put in it. But which one would work? If someone can fill me in I'd greatly appreciate it.

In your case you need to bite the bullet and get the verizon gs if you are going to put it on your verizon plan. The gs have different cell bands.....international/gsm (att/tmobile)/cdma (verizon/sprint). You cannot put a international/gsm gs on a cdma network. Cdma networks are very limited not like gsm where you can unlock...etc..to switch to another gsm carrier with the same cell band.
Thanks dude. Sucks but I guess I'm gonna do it.

But I can goto sprint and buy one if it is cheaper.

Talk to Verizon first if you are going that route and asked just to make sure.. Verizon might not allow cross over from Sprint.
Buy a t mobile one for cheaper and pay the 15 month to T-mobile that's what I did I also have verizon just way cheaper and you also can have root this way

Need help gettin new rom/ATT WiFI Calling to work on unlocked phone

Hi all,
I have an S9+ unlocked and I am trying to get WiFi calling to work. I've tried a few different roms but no dice. I called ATT and they did what they could on their end but they couldn't get it working and escalated the ticket. I told them I was using an ATT branded phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is it an att phone that was unlocked or is it a factory unlocked phone???
If its factory unlocked you are out of luck.

As Thor said, if you bought it from anywhere other than ATT, your out of luck. They only allow phones purchased through them to use Volte and Wifi Calling.
The one workaround is to activate the features on your line by using a different phone, and then swapping the sim to your S9/S9+. It's a trick that has worked for some but no telling if it still works.
Thanks fellas!
I still have my old ATT S7 Edge that WiFi calling worked on, so today or tomorrow I'm going to flash the S9+ to this, then put the sim card in the S7 Edge, use WiFi calling, then put it in the S9+ and see if that works. I appreciate the tips!

IT won't work until a week has passed or it will only work for a week?

It wont work beyond a week. Att queries the phone ever so often and when it does it will stop working. This is what I've read and been told. It used to work when it first came out for longer for some reason and now is down to a day to a week.
