My wife just got her unlocked l7 and I'm only getting edge data speeds. How can I set it up for t mobile hspa speeds?
Go to: Settings - Wireless & network - Mobile networks - Network mode, now set it to "WCDMA only"
Isn't CDMA Verizon and sprint only? T-Mobile is GSM. I'll try it when my wife gets off work.

try to edit your Access Point Names (APN) or create new APN, maybe your APN doesn't correct. cmiiw/imho
searching with google for APN is good idea

I'll give it a try. Can you mess something up if you do it wrong?

Still didn't work. It will not let me change the default APN.

Got it to change but still on edge. Would like to get 3g at least. Any suggestions?

Ok , did you control your APN settings maybe 3G missing.

My wife has her phone at work. I'll look when she gets home. She bought it on amazon. It the P-705 also. What is the APN settings suggested. Her default showed GPRS too. Not sure what this means.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Search it within MOBILE NETWORKS, not 100% sure cause I m now on CM10. Anyway look in settings and when you find Access Point Network(APN) you'll see GPRS or 3G parameters. Check all if something misses you add manually. It's conf from your network , Google it or find from official site huh. I'm tired now

Yeah found out T-Mobile has there hspa+ on there 1700 band which is not compatible. :thumbdown: but she likes the phone besides being slow.

Hello,
I have searched all over the web about how to display which GSM or UMTS bands I am connected and using at the moment (i.e. 850mhz, 1900mhz, etc), but the ibky thing I have found is to get into the phone's service menu, but every time I try, either nothing works or I receive MMI code invalid.
Is there an app that cab do this for me? I just want to know which frequency O am using in determining what other international phones can work in my area on 3g. I am on T-Mobile and I know they have been converting to the 1900mhz band for some time now, so I want to confirm for sure.
*#*#INFO#*#* does not reveal the band, and *#*#SERVICE#*#* does nothing ...
Please help.
Thank you.

Try #*#*4636*#*#

Yeah #*#*4636*#*# does nothing either. BTW 4636 is INFO on the dialer.
*#*#4636#*#* works, but that doesn't show the frequency in use.

My provider only uses HSPA +/LTE, the phone always downgrades to hspa (non +) and sometimes 3g which my provider doesn't support so I loose my data connection and it sometimes takes a really long time for it to go back to the proper hspa+ that I need it to use all the time. Anybody knows if I can somehow force the phone to use hspa+ 100% of the time?
Thanks

Switch to HSPA+ only mode. Probably wont work with phone calls unless you VOIP.
How??

You must be mixing up HSPA+ with LTE. I don't think there's a way to choose between HSPA/HSPA+/UMTS, they're all considered 3G or WCDMA (unless you're in Canada.. carriers lie here, those networks shown as 4G are actually 3G)
Sent from my SM-N900W8
Well when my phone shows 3g or hspa I cant get anything to load online, it will stay on this mode for a while sometimes and then as soon as the phone shows hspa+ everything loads perfect. Every othere phone I have bought from Bell mobility in canada show hspa+ all the time.

I also had an unlocked Note 2 with exynos processor that did the same thing.

I just tried making a call with my Note 3 (S800) and it was able to make a call on HSPA+ on TELUS. I think either your location doesn't have good HSPA+ signal / it's overloaded or there's a problem with the phone, does it support all the 3G frequencies Bell uses?

I know, you said "switch to HSPA+ only but you may not be able to make calls." You can switch to LTE only and you will not be able to make calls. You can make calls on HSPA+.

call #9090#.
Will bring up configuration menu.
Should be tons of radio mode options. One should be HSPA+ only.
Must be the wrong code, *9090* doesn't do anything and *#9090# brings me to a service menu which has no radio settings
Sent from my SM-N900 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Bell mobility uses "UMTS/HSPA compatible on 850 and 1900 MHz bands" which is supported by the note 3, I just dont get why both my unlocked exynos note 2 (got rid of it 1 month after I bought it because of this problem) and also the exynos note 3 have this problem on bell mobility in canada.....

You can always edit data retry to a smaller number in your build.prop.
"ro.telephony.default_network" is the build.prop entry for which default network you're on. You could figure out which one of those corresponds to HSPA+ (probably through trial and error).
**edit
Oh, you may just have to flash a new modem then O.0
My N9005 is missing quite a few radios at the moment as well.
Wish I could do all of that lol

Maybe there is sime kind of problem with your sim and/or phone...
I'm with Virgin (owned by Bell and same network). My device is switching between 3G and HSPA+... And it's working perfectly fine.

see if this works:
Settings > More Networks (under connections) > Mobile Networks > Network Mode = choose the option which you like and see if it works.
heads up, even with settings forced from here my network sometimes fluctuates.
HI, the three network in the UK is rolling out 4G this weekend, what rom do I need to flash my nexus 4 with to get it working ???!!....I wan't super fast lol !!!!!!!
I think it's only starting in like 3/4 cities if your lucky enough to live in one of the cities. Also nexus 4 only supports one band on 4g if your also lucky enough for three to be using the supported band.

itll work on the n4 only if its band 4 lte, and no other frequency for lte. and its not about flashing a rom, its about flashing a hybrid radi, having the right apn, and changing the phine info to lte/gsm. there are threads that explain how to do it.
Yes I live in London.....but since updating to the latest 4.3 I can no longer select 4g LTE in the service menu. How would I find out if three is using the correct band !????

for 4.3 the option is in the phone menu, . and you need to ask them what band they are using.
Yes but if I select LTE it just goes back to CDMA ....!? Goes anyone know the three 4G APN details !? What band goes it need to be to work !??? Sorry for all the questions lol

band 4 for lte only. the hybrid radio lets you use lte if band 4 is available.

it goes back because you need to use either the .27 hybrid radio or the .33 hybrid radio. google disabled lte for 4.3, and you cant enable lte in the settings unless you are using one of the hybrid radios.
After a quick search its 800mhz band is that ok !??
So it won't pick up Three mobiles 4G

Anyway it doesn't really matter the 4G chip in our phones doesn't work 100% apparently causes huge battery drain etc

nice rationalization, but not true. the chip works great, everything works. and since switching over to lte permanently, ive been seeing 6-7 hours screen on time regularly. imagine this, when you download things it takes time for it to finish downloading, especially large files. the slower data speed, the longer it takes. the longer it takes, the more battery is wasted. on lte, i average about 30mbps download speed, so downloads finish in seconds. so less battery is wasted. i download 2gb games from the play store in about 13-18 minutes. the newer lte chips are much better on battety than the old days, better than hspa+, hspa, 3g, and 2g.
How can that be possible ? The LTE chip in the nexus 4 has no antenna or amplifier :/ hmm I'm baffled

doesnt need it? whatever it is, you dont hear complaints from lte users here in the states(mostly tmobile) about data signal or data speed for sure. and about battery.

Battery life is the same with LTE enabled. My N4 has it enabled my wife hasn't let me to it to her's yet and our battery life is the same, but my data is much faster than her's. I get LTE signal with my N4 in the same places as I do with my Galaxy Tab 2. So I would say it works perfectly fine. Yes I am on T-mobile in case anyone was wondering.
3 UK is going to use LTE band 3 and 20 only, so the nexus 4 will not support it (unless Google is going to release a Nexus 4 LTe version, which is pointless because you should get the Nexus 5 anyway.)

Many people are using LTE on their Nexus 4 including me, it only work with LTE band 4.
Coming from the Note 4 I could type #*0011* and see the various LTE/other network stats. Can somebody tell me how to do this in the tmo V20?
