Popped my sim back into my tab which is flashed to make phone calls and I got hsdpa on att. Made a google search. Loaded it very quickly then kicked me off the network. Had to reboot to get back back on. So does that possibly mean that its att and not the t mous tabs that's keeping them from getting 3g.
I have data roaming off so no chance of wandering to diff network

Try uninstalling juice defender. Juice defender has a problem where it starts making its own decisions and disabling/enabling mobile data whenever it feels needed. I dont think its an att problem. When you rebooted, did u lose connection to the network again after a while?

No its a t mous tab on atts 3g network. That's not supposed to exist

Sorry I didn't clarify that. Just wondering if anyone else has seen hsdpa on their tmous tab on att

Usually flashing to stock fixes all issues. I would suggest doing that and recustomizing to your needs and seeing if the problem arrives.

Yes by flashing your tab to be able to make phone calls, that means you flash it with a european rom. Your tab turns into a european tab and att use the same band as europe for 3G data. That's why you have 3g and phone capability.
Here's what haopens when I put my sim in.
Keep in mind its a t mobile tab
Tab starts
Tab finds att gets on att network
Tab then picks up hsdpa from att
Tab does google search and then is promptly kicked off the network. Have to restart tab to get back on network.
After restart tab then finds att and edge only. Should I constantly have hsdpa on the flashed. Tmous tab on atts network or is getting it on start up a fluke.

K dialed *#0011# and the tab is definiately getting 3g. Its on wcdma 850 at -105. But the h refuses to appear next to the bars.

It depends on the signal strength. You won't always get H sign, sometimes one meter can make a difference it depends on the place where you are.
Nm the modem just doesn't support 3g is what I'm reading

T-Mobile TAB hardware supports AWS band (2100 down 1700 Up) for 3G. AT&T 3G is 850/1900.
Here is what is happening in your TAB. You have an AT&T SIM in a TMobile Tab. I find's TMO 3G network but is unable to connect since you have a AT&T SIM.
Obviously you cannot connect to AT&T 3G network because your TAB cannot connect to AT&T 3G bands.
no doubt, the OP is liar! the picture is actual att tab , not tmo one.
I own both att and tmo tab.
tmo tab has no way to get att 3G with any modem (include att one).

It is a fact that you will not get AT&T 3G on the T-Mobile Tab or vise versa. They use different bands. So the hardware won't allow it, which can't be fixed by flashing a different ROM no matter what.
Or by flashing a different modem either!

Hi all, I need help!!
At first I want to inform that I am came from Malaysia. I am using the local telco which only support up to HSPA only. Not HSDPA+.
With my friends which is using same telco as mine (Note 2 N7100), with speedtest apps, he can ping up to 6Mbps++ for download speed. While i am using nexus 4 only can ping about 1Mbps...which was done at same location. I am wondering whether i am getting hardware defection or else...since using the same telco....may i know any method that can be used to test whether i am getting hardware defection on my phone?or sim card prob?
you can buy prepaid sim from same telco to test it,hope this help

Hi,
I went yesterday into an area where I used to get a good 3G service in the past with my T-mo SGS3. My I9500 suddenly showed that I only have 2G at best in that same area.
I'm afraid that the I9500, being an international version might have some issues with T-Mobile in the US in some areas. Can this be possible?
Also, I know that there was a code to get into the band selection menu and it worked on the SGS3 T-mo version but the same code does not work on SGS4. Does anyone know how to access it?
Thanks,

These issues apply to T-Mobile users installing the current build of 4.4 (and possibly other GSM carriers but I don't have an ATT SIM to test). Motorola is aware of the issue. I read these forums pretty thoroughly and I've been answering these questions all over so I figured I'd just put them all one place. Issues as follows:
- Devices with the LTE radio active cannot send SMS
- Devices with the LTE radio active cannot send MMS (Carrier/Settings dependent)
- Devices with the LTE radio active cannot make phone calls and instantly disconnects on call attempt.
Urban Legends:
- Stock tethering does not work - I have personally tested on TMO and know it does work. Yer doin' it wrong.
Fixes
Easiest fix for now if you're on a device running 4.4 and want to... you know... be able to use your phone... is to use phone information and switch the radio mode over to GSM Only (not the auto one). This fix is a little finicky because if the phone realizes it's not running in the mode selected on your mobile networks screen it will override and turn LTE back on if you haven't selected UMTS only.
Full steps are:
Mobile network settings - Change network mode to LTE/GSM/UMTS
Mobile network settings - Select network UMTS Only
Install app linked below
Open Phone Info and select GSM Only
Phone info apk for sideload - http://www.mediafire.com/download/284l17ry2ok1yuk/Phone_info_1.3.apk
I'll update this thread as I discover more issues or as people post issues that can be replicated below.
Thank you. Finally I got the LTE turn off.
I gotta switch the mobile mode to LTE/UMTS/ gsm and select network as UMTS only. Then use phone info choose gsm only.

It was selecting GSM Only in Phone Info. Switched it to GSM auto (PRL) and I got HSPA+ back.
but Seriously dude. thanks for this info. I was tired of using my Moto G while my MAXX was just collecting Dust.
Edited the OP for a more clear fix. Thank you to vuphongkkk for pointing out the UMTS only.
I'm on T-Mobile and live in an HSPA+ refarmed area (NYC), but there are places I go on a regular basis that aren't refarmed. I set it on "WCDMA preferred" and voila, I have both 2 & 3G connectivity, with preference given to 3G.
I can't post links, but this XDA thread explains it in more detail I think: ... showthread.php?t=688492
Vodafone confirmed for anyone wondering.
H+ for UMTS only,
Edge for global.
No Sim adjusting at all
Just popped a sim in today. Getting LTE but really hating the call fail bug. Gotta place the call twice repeatedly to get it through
Maxx'd out Kit Kat
Update: Having major glitches when running LTE, pretty deal breaking for a full switch to tmo right now. Eagerly awaiting the new OTA to see if it fixes it. Seems to have major issues on the HSPA/LTE handoff. How did it function prior to 4.4?
Maxx'd out Kit Kat
On 4.2.2 was working fine, the phone just switch from LTE to 3g itself when you need to make phone call. But I had problem on 4.2.2 that if I connect to WiFi then it'll take awhile to get the LTE back. Normally an hour after out of WiFi range

Maybe thats the problem I was having? I just ended up with a 4.2.2 phone after my 4.4 got destroyed. LTE wouldnt work for me but I was in the house after switching off wifi...hmmm
Arcanexvi what's the best APN to use for 4.2.2? And do I have to have phone info installed or can I uninstall it? Since I changed all the settings to get hspa+ I forgot what the default settings were. =\ whoops and thanks for all your help so far

You can uninstall it if you want. It's extremely small though so no reason to do so unless you just don't want to see the icon. Uninstalling will NOT reset your settings.

Thanks! I messed myself all up though.
In android mobile network settings should I have network mode as global, LTE/CDMA or LTE/gsm/umts?
If its LTE/gsm/umts do I still use gsm only under select network?
And if I leave phone info installed do I have to change anything on there for LTE to work? Phone info seems to change the network selection in the app on its own so I just stopped messing with it. Thanks and sorry to be a pain

If you on 4.4 you don't have to change anything to have LTE work on your phone. Follow step by step from the beginning of the thread to turn off LTE

I'm on 4.2.2 and already changed settings. So was curious on what the original settings on 4.2.2 are to get LTE working with APN settings
Sent from my XT1080 using xda app-developers app
4.2.2 rarely get LTE data. Choose network mode as LTE/gsm/UMTS . select network as automatic. Don't use the phone info. If you already use the phone info app in this thread then use it again to switch back to LTE/gsm.. Or the option that has evething.
Remember to add APN fast.t-mobile.com
But as I mentioned, 4.2.2 has some problem with the radio , so it rarely pick up LTE

Just to add another data point, I have a Droid Mini on stock 4.2.2. I'm connecting to t-mobile with the listed apn info, global and auto. I have LTE the vast majority of the time.
Cheers!
