only getting EDGE

put in sim from ATT N1 where I was getting full 3G (CM has it as H), and now, with same sim, I only get EDGE in Atrix. New sim they included gives me nothing... just a strikethrough the data icon area.
What gives?

Maybe you dont have HSPA+ in your area? Only guessing, btw.

Att is having many issues with the atrix and inspire. They're working on these issues now.

You need a new sim cards as this is a 4g device. Might be the issue.

Wrong. Any 3g ATT sim card will work, there is no technical differences. The only time moving forward you will need a newer simcard is for when LTE (real "4g") launches.

you have to have 4G sim card and also your account must be provisioned in the system with a new 4G feature code.
I work for ATT.

So do I and I can also confirm that was what I read on an internal training presentation on the new 4G phones, including the Atrix.

so essentially we will have to use the sim that is sent with the phone?

You don't need a 4g sim, pop in the regular 3g sim...that's what I have in my inspire...getting hspa+

you must be getting a symbol with H+ and that is all.
for actual speed use new 4G SIM and get provisioned with new feature code by calling customer care or going in to the store.

Spent 85 minutes on the phone with tier 2 support. They have no idea what's going on. We tried old sum and new... no luck. We changed options in *#*#4636#*#* with no luck. We reset to factory default with no luck.
Its stuck on EDGE. My account is provisioned for this phone with the correct data plan and its simply not working. They want me to go to a corporate store tomorrow and swap for another.
Any other ideas short of a swap?

no one is getting HSPA+, it's being backhauled until March. I don't know why it says we have H+ in the status bar though

backhaul isn't just going to magically happen when march hits, it will happen as soon as the backhaul hits the site and is up and running, which is a never ending thing that has been going on for the past year or so.
EDIT: Oh and to the OP, more than likely something is wrong with the phone if other phones pick up 3g just fine.

But the best thing is, the ATRIX an the INSPIRE 4G will not be getting LTE HAHAHA AT&T FTW

[Q] Information on network for motorola atrix

Please help me. I have a motorola atrix 4g. Unlocked. Rooted. Running on t-mobile network. I have 3g contract but all i am getting is edge (which is fricking slow). I know it possible for you to be able to change atrix automatic custom network (which is at&t) to work with t-mobile. Youtube doesn't help cause all i see is bell, sprint and metro pcs. I know it something with the radio. But i need your help thanks.

Do you have any friends who have tmo that you can ask their apn settings? That's my suggestion.

This is true. Carrier radio frequencies do differ in the USA. Wifi is the only high speed you'll get in the USA if you are not on at&t using the at&t Atrix.

Im so angry. But hope something comes up

If you're not locked into a t-mobile contract I suggest going to straight talk, they have a SIM for AT&T version phones and that should get you 3g. Or go for h20 wireless which should get you full 4g speed.

Lol, despite its name Atrix 4G does not have 4G... You need a carrier working on one or two of 850/1900/2100 3g frequencies.

i'd still consider HSPA plus more 4g than Sprint's so called 4g and that wimax thing the original evo has
and I'd consider verizon's 3G more like 2g hahaha

Man im disappointed u should have never brought this phone cuz a friend said I can hack the Motorola custom radio which was at&t to T-Mobile. But he was wrong.

s4 question

Is it true ths the international version wont work on verizon 4gLTE . I am in NYC , I have verizon and debating on which version to get. I so can wait to get rid of this bio

yes, that's correct. Verizon doesn't even use SIM cards.. so you won't be able to use it.
the only network that might get it is AT&T. T-Mobile can use the phone, but only with 2G, so if you really want octa version, you'll have to switch to AT&T. this said, you'll get 3G, but whether or not you'll get LTE is another thing.. the rest of the world is pretty far behind us in LTE sadly..

actually tmobile will be able to use 3g on the intl version also, IF the area is refarmed to 1900.

[Q] I9505 no LTE?

Hello,
I bought an unlocked I9505 version of the Galaxy S4 and live in the US and my carrier is AT&T.
I know I have LTE service in my area since I came from iPhone and other phones in my household has LTE service in their phone's but mine?
My I9505 only shows and toggles between H and H+ but not the 4G and LTE subscript text next to the signal bars.
I've checked to make sure that under Mobile Networks that LTE/GSM/WCDMA is chosen and APN* settings are correct.
Anyone else having the same experience? Is there something wrong with the phone?

It has LTE, I get 4G on mine

Yes, I also called AT&T support to make sure I'm provisioned to have LTE and they said yes.

In germany we have a problem too.
interrupts the LTE network and you have no more contact?
It seems as if there were in all i9505's the problem. I turned it off, because LTE is too expensive here.

As far as I know of, the GT-I9505 does not support AT&T LTE bands. This would explain why you can't get any LTE signal with it.

Awww, that's a bummer.

I am having the exact same issue, I have an i9505 and do not get the option of LTE on the list only GSM/WCDMA, GSM Only or WCDMA Only.
I had an LTE S3 and obviously that had an option for it in the network settings.
If the 4G was not compatible in my area then i would assume it would not be able to find a signal and not just disallow the selection in the settings.
Im in Australia btw and bought it unlocked from a company that shipped from Hong Kong.

You need a LTE compatible USIM to be able to list the "4G" option otherwise it does not appear. It's kinda stupid but it's the way it works.

Ok. What would that mean? I was assured by the company I bought it from that it would work.

My csc is i9505zzhamde if that helps

I've contacted AT&T tech support and found out the reason why I can't get LTE. Different techs will give you different answers so I kept prying each
tech that I've encountered with to give me some sensible answer.
One tech said that the 9'th and 10th digit of the ATT sim should be 2 and 5. I checked my old iPhone's nano sim and it was 2 and 5. The replacement sim that I've received when I got my S4 was 2 and 9. So I went to an AT&T store to have my sim replaced, ofcourse they ignored what I told them that I'd like to have a sim with the 9th and 10th digit to be 2 and 5. ATT rep said that their new sim should work with LTE (which I thought should be) regardless of the 9th and 10th digit. Then, nothing still H+. Oh well...
So went home and tried chatting with the rep again and found out this:
LTE service is not provisioned in my plan since AT&T's system can't recognize my phone's IMEI hence they can't add it to their system.
So does that mean that GT-I9505 can have 4g LTE with AT&T's as long as they can register my IMEI on their network?
but w/e the sooner I can get over that I9505 isn't compatible with AT&T 's LTE the better.

Hm... When I was with Hybrid ROM MDN and modem MDN without ANY CSC, it shows me LTE/GSM/WCDMA (auto connect). But now I flashed Modified MDM ROM with MDM modem with BTU CSC and the LTE disappeared..... I have only GSM/WCDMA option.... (just to remind that My GSM Operator does not provide LTE)
What do you think? maybe the LTE/GSM/WCDMA (auto connect) in the menu depends on th chosen CSC...

I think they are telling you a bunch of lies. The I9505 does not have the LTE bands for AT&T and that's really all there is to it.

[Q] Is it normal for LTE to intermittently switch between LTE and 4G?

I've frequently been noticing my GS5 to have a really strong LTE connection (~90Mbps) and minutes later without moving at all I'm suddenly on 4G (HSPA+?). Is anyone else experiencing this or should I get my unit exchanged?

One theory I have about it is that my SIM card has been put in and out of many phones and perhaps the contacts are a little weak at this point. Do you know if that would affect my signal?

No, it has nothing to do with signal. The phone can get signal even without a sim card. All the sim card does is register you on the network. If the sim card was bad, it would most likely kick you off the network completely.
One last thing: Have you edited the APN settings at all? Are you sure they are the default supplied by your carrier?

Which carrier is doing that? how confusing.
Wiki:
HSPA+, or Evolved High-Speed Packet Access, is a technical standard for wireless, broadband telecommunication. HSPA+ enhances the widely used WCDMA (UMTS) based 3G networks with higher speeds for the end user that are comparable to the newer LTE networks. HSPA+ was first defined in the technical standard 3GPP release 7 and expanded further in later releases.
In the United States, it is commonly available under AT&T Mobility and T-Mobile US.

And just to clear things up for me, you will see 4g and lte icons in the taskbar and switch between the two respectively? Oh and I see no mention of 4G relating to HSPA+ but lte yes, so I still am unclear what the OP has asked.
Edit: nevermind it doesnt matter, very confusion lol. Sorry toews didnt mean to hijack your thread dude.

You can google your apn settings from google.
Example.
Att apn settings.
And you can go into settings more networks and create a new apn. Just make sure you enter it exaxctly as it reads.
Xda folks have alot if threads on different apns for achieving higher speeds. You create the new apn hit menu and then save toggle the new apn and reboot.. alot of times if your seeing fluctuation it can be due to a node on one if the local towers in your area.
But as stated it wouldnt hurt to upgrade your modem. Of course this does involve root and custom recovery such a twrp.. hope this helps.?
