I am wondering if anyone else is using straight talk att with 4g lte. The one I have says only 3g in areas and hits 4 g in town. Thanks for any help.

Since the n4 uses all frequencies of the USA T-Mobile & AT&T. Has anyone noticed T-Mobile roaming hspa off att in areas that T-Mobile does not offer their 4G service?

interesting to know
It is always interesting to know since they t-mobile were given 7 yrs to roam at 850mhz for 2G & 3G. Recently T-Mobile announced moving hspa, edge, and gsm to 1900mhz. I need to know if anyone is getting hspa T-Mobile roaming off att?

As far as I know, the roaming agreements only cover GSM (Voice and GPRS), and do not cover high speed data (HSPA, HSPA+, LTE).

Hello everyone,
I did a search in the q&a forums and didn't find anything about this. Is it possible for me to get 4g lte using an att sim card through straight talk? Just today 4g was activated in my area and it would be great to use that instead of my crappy internet connection which is like 3mb download. I know i would need to use either an older radio or a hybrid one for the nexus 4 to have lte functionality, but would it work on straight talk att?
Thank you for your help,

I don't know about about LTE on AT&T but if you go into Settings-More-Mobile Networks and enable Data Roaming then go to Access Point Names and hit Menu then reset to default you should see a slight increase in a good coverage area. I went from averaging 3 Mbps to 6 Mbps.

1) Straight Talk has no LTE, AIO (owned by AT&T and available in limited markets) is the only MVNO with LTE. Otherwise you need Go Phone (AT&T prepaid).
2) It only connects to LTE on 1700 MHz Band 4. Most of AT&T uses 700 MHz Band 17, but there are some Band 4 areas (Puerto Rico and Oklahoma City have been reported).
Best advice is to check if T-Mobile has good coverage in your area (I average 15 Mbps down just on HSPA+), and all of T-Mobile's LTE is on Band 4.

I meant my actual internet connection lol. I have centurylink in the middle of nowhere and their highest speed
is 6mb, but im lucky if i get 4mb. Having 4g would be a godsend because i could use a wireless hotspot for everything.

Unfortunately I dont think i get t-mobile coverage where I am. Only ATT. So there's no hope then huh?
Side note, I am half Puerto Rican and half Mexican. You just made me miss my island lol.

I would beg for 3Mbps download on my Nexus4 on Straight Talk AT&T. The highest speed I every got was 1.06 Mbps.
If you live out in the middle of nowhere then you won't be getting LTE form any carrier any time soon. Best you will get is HSPA+ from AT&T. Also Chicago is another area where AT&T is using band 4 as they don't have enough band 17 coverage in that area to serve it properly.

I know there is 4g in my area now. Other phones in the house are getting 4g. I was just hoping there was some hope for my wife and I to be able to get 4g as well through ATT. How would i test which band my area is using and assuming I were able to get 4g what would be the steps to getting it on my nexus 4?

Just noticed LTE on my wife's HTC One on straighttalk using an AT&T mvno here in Hawaii.
I only did one speed test 7mbs up and down. Pleasantly surprised.
OK, so I had an at&t s3 and had LTE getting speeds of roughly 30mbps. Now, on my nexus 4, I'm using g at&t with all of the LTE tricks and mods but all I am getting is 3g, h, and h+. The LTE APN does not give me a data icon. What do I do?

the nexus 4 doesnt support most of att lte. the n4 supports band 4 lte, att uses a different frequency. they do use band 4 in just a very few locations though, but mostly not.
My question is does Verizon Note 3 support LTE band 4? And I know what Verizon LTE band 4 should be compatible with the T-mobile LTE band 4 does that mean if Verizon Note 3 if support LTE band 4 and it will get LTE on T-mobile?
Thanks ahead.
Several users in the update thread who say they live in AWS areas are still seeing the same speeds as the old software (MI9)
So the verizon note 3 doesnt have band 4 enabled? I wanted to get it for use on tmobile lte since I was getting a good deal on it. Any info would be appreciated.
I do not see it is enabled on I9 firmware, maybe it will be enabled on later update.

If I can get this phone under 500 no contract.. but my main purpose is to use it on tmobile LTE.. should i buy it?
No, I think you shouldn't buy it, because if you can't use the T-mobile 4G then it is not worth it.
I guess I wont be buying it. Thanks for the insight. If anyone finds out anything about tmobile 4g LTE on this model let me know
Just wondering if this will work on att or straight talk with lte or even h+??
Thanks
Also isn't this phone the moto x play but renamed for Verizon? (BC same specs, size, screen, battery) lol

We have tried it with cricket Wireless.
We have tried it with Cricket Wireless with no issue, and Cricket is now owned by AT&T
Yes it should work on AT&T as it supports LTE Bands 2/4/5 where available. In areas that this phone will not work on LTE it will drop down to 4G(HSPA+ or H+) on AT&T or Cricket, or H2O, or Airvoice, or Consumer Cellular, etc.
Also supports T-Mobile's LTE on Bands 2/4. Band 4 for Major city's T-Mobile LTE and Band 2 for some rural areas T-Mobile LTE.
