No there is no way to change it.
It will work with at&t on 3g/hspa+

It will work on T-Mobile 2G and/or 3G if you live in an area where T-Mobile has the 1900Mhz band, on AT&T though it will get 4G.

T-Mobile Using AT&T Frequencies?

I have a T-Mobile prepaid Droid 3 but it only does 1900 MHz 3G but the price is good. I haven't had issues so far. But I was wondering if I could find a way to get 3G here in Wichita KS? I know they are refarming certain markets and maybe does someone have a list of places?

I've been looking for a list of places getting the refarm as well.
No idea if NYC now gets 1900mhz 3g yet either.
I got T-Mobile on an unlocked LG thrill and I get 1 g speed and that's it. It works and is a very strong signal but 10 kbps download or so.
Southeast Louisiana.

Got edge now. Maybe it took the weekend to get it all registered. I can live with edge till I find a better network.

So I'm the one! OK so I will keep this thread updated. Tomorrow I use a coworkers boost card and see what short term results I get.

T-Mobile LTE Question

Hey I have an unlocked Galaxy S4 AT&T, I get 4G sometimes but was wondering if LTE is possible.. I've searched around.
Do I need to add a profile?

There are quite a few threads were this is mentioned. It is possible if you are in an area that offers lte. You might have to change the apn from epc.tmobile.com to fast.t-mobile.com.

So does net 10 use sprints towers?
It depends on the phone. Some use Verizon, some use AT&T, some use Sprint, and some use T-Mobile.

If you got on T-Mobile, they've got decent 3g speeds (20-25Mb/s down in some areas with the right phone). But IDK if they would be throttled. This is called "4G" or HSPA.

TMobile LG G2 on AT&T?

Will buy the TMobile LG G2 and try their service. But if I unlock my phone, will it work if I need to switch to AT&T and do I need to flash anything on my part and thanks.

Needs to be unlocked. LTE will not work and you'll only get HSPA+ 21

Thanks but I thought I read it had the 700 LTE band that would work on AT&T. Is this wrong?

Does anybody knows how to use 4g and not 3g?

I notice that my phone can support 3g with 4g lte or 3g with just 4g. I have 4g in my town but not 4g lte so i just want to enable 4g not 4glte. If any idea just show your skills. I believe by changing modem but not sure since i dont know any modem to try.

That's 4g wimax, you have to have a wimax compatible phone like HTC evo

I mean... my phone was using 4g not 4g lte after i unlock it. Sorry for posting in development i meant to post it in the general...

4G is LTE on this device. The old 4G sprint had, was Wimax. So if you're using 4G on this device it's just LTE, plain and simple.

There's a way to do it (LTE Only), but it requires your MSL and going into the programming mode, I'd advise against it. Or you can flash a KK ROM.
To get 4G wimax you need a wimax phone, I think the Samsung S2 was that last one.
questions belong in the Q/A thread..not development ....
Well i had 4g with full signal with out having a 4g lte towers closed by and my speed was faster then 3g... So It only happen when I changed my ro._____operator to open my speed increases to 4g usually when im out of town and my phone its on 4g lte it will said 4 lte well explain that then cause i think im missing something I guest.
