I'd like to know for certain what LTE bands the M5 8.4" version sold in China, has, without relying on information Chinese sellers publish on their online portals or Aliexpress. So this is just a request for a picture. If anyone gets their hands on Chinese M5 8.4" version - please take a picture of page 8 from Quick Start Guide (enabled LTE bands are listed on that page) and attach it here. TIA.
I am in china on business. I wanted this too if it could work on att. I will try to stop by a store today and check for the both of us

Saw this a bit late. I already got the answer, and the M5 from China, Their version supports all LTE bands, used by AT&T and T-Mobile, besides band 2. LTE works fine - I posted speed test screenshots in another thread.

Here is the pic I got from the guy in the store. I ended up buying it for att plan.Huawei m5 8.4 LTE bands https://imgur.com/gallery/qdi5JL1
I am home in NY and I'm getting 33 down and 12 up on 4g. I don't know why it doesn't say lte. Also I can't use voice typing function with Gboard. Problems for another day I guess.
---------- Post added at 04:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:45 AM ----------
Gboard is being finicky sometimes it works and sometimes it says voice search is not supported on this device.
Are there any content restrictions downloading movies on netflix, amazon, etc because its recognized as a Chinese device?

Just having a wonder whether my sim card could be effecting signal performance. Seems the placement of it is crucial.
I'm worried about whether its making the right contact anyone else noticed the hero has 8 sim contacts yet the sim only seems to have 6 contact points.
Just curious.
Sounds like you have an old 2G sim card. The later 3G sim cards have 8 contact points. Your phone provider should be able to send you a new one. Until then you'll have no access to 3G/HSDPA.
That's the thing I can get 3g just I'm not sure on how its performing.
http://twitpic.com/hrhrg
That's a link to it could you check it out for me?
Noone? If someone could compare please.
Are you sure you get 3G? A 'G' symbol means GPRS iirc, 'E' means edge and 'H' is 3G/HSDPA
Here are two sim cards I have, one O2 and an old 2G Virgin one

I can get hsdpa. The problem I'm facing is the reliability of the signal.
I'm quite convinced I may have the wrong type of sim and considering this came with the phone many other ppl may have the same problem.
Sim card pic
Managed to sort a pic of my sim, not just one the same style.
I've marked the points where the 7th and 8th contacts hit the sim.
Hope someone can shed some light on it.
anyone here from germany eplus (or one of its subgroups)??? i never had umts (=3g) only edge, and im living in a big city..
Had a very brief and fruitless conversation with T-Mobile tech support who wanted me to wipe the phone and that's all she could advise because they don't have much information on the g2 lol.
Could any UK T-Mobile customer check their sim and compare it to the pic in the link I posted and how their signal is.
Thanks.
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:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
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.

So if I'm reading your chart correctly, the international version is not capable of working with any kind of 4g. ? I'm hoping this is the case as I bought one and in order for it to work on my companies plan it needs to be a 3g phone only

Yes. Correct.
There is an upgraded version of this phone, with Double the ram and 4G, but that is the I9305.

Perfect thanks. I have a company issued at&t blackberry curve 3g that I removed the Sim out of and use in my captivate. tried to upgrade that to the infuse long while back but found out it would not work because it was 4g .Long story short, my company would not update my plan to 4g to allow the infuse to work as my company doesn't authorize the use of Android devices. Did some research on international versions and figure I would try one more time. Hope it works out I have a 500 dollar paperweight again that I gave to try and sell and will be back to being stuck with my captivate. Not that that's a bad thing.

not like many carriers have passed 21mbps , or people really need more than that. they data plans are capped
This is why they haven't released jellybean yet
http://samsunggalaxys2review.org/samsung-galaxy-s3-to-be-re-released-in-uk-with-lte/
Well the S3 phone came in today. Now I am just waiting for the Sim card cutter to come so I can out my captivate Sim in it and find out if I have data

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.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
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..

I have been having issues lately with it. Like my test messages images wont send but if I use my Wife's Note 4 APN settings it will work then some days it stops working so I have to go back to my previous APN settings which is not that good.
Can you share yours?

I was asking because maybe he has lte plan. And didn't know about 02 being non lte
Don't edit my post.
All AT&T data plans are LTE plans, it makes no difference whether the device is capable or not. @shaolin95, I'll post my APN details when I get home from work.
Here's as promised the APNs from my C6806, first up AT&T LTE

When you flash cm12 based roms do you lose LTE
I have not had Stock Lollipop as a daily driver due to the bootloops that Xposed causes with the amount of apps that I have on my phone, and I've tried every custom Lollipop ROM made available here, never lost LTE.

I don't get bootloop with xposed never not once. Which version you use? But when I flash cm 12 I lose my lte icon. I think I have the speed still. I'll take screen shots. Do you use APN cm provides?
