VZW GS4 and Moto 2013 lineup will support TMO LTE after a software update that unlocks band 4 LTE AWS. My guess is it'll happen soon since the iphone already supports it. The towers are not yet live on VZW yet as far as I'm aware so it's not a priority to activate those bands on their devices yet.

http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/ - This lists all of the current variants of the iphones that support LTE and which bands they support.

VZW/ATT/Tmo are the same model. Sprint gets their own it seems which adds bands 18 and 16 to the LTE support versus the primary model. My inkling is that the reason this happened is to support the bands that Softbank uses in Japan (owner of Sprint) so that they don't need multiple SKUs worldwide.

LTE is a GSM technology so I expect that when they start sending voice over LTE in the next year they'll start phasing out the CDMA radios within a year or 2 on new devices. After a couple more years they will likely shut down the CDMA towers and refarm the frequencies for LTE/LTE-A or other future technologies. Once they stop using CDMA for voice, it will be very easy to take devices across networks to/from ATT/TMO/etc.
[Droid Ultra General] eighty1:
Seems like the update would have rolled out by now being they've been capable for some time now.
[Droid Ultra General] arcanexvi:
I could be wrong but I haven't seen anything yet on VZW's end that says that band 4 is active yet. Until there are towers broadcasting that signal for VZW they aren't going to push an update out for it.
[Droid Ultra General] eighty1:
What band is the Verizon iPhone 5S using that enables it to be the only Verizon phone to get T-Mobile LTE.
[Droid Ultra General] raichur0xx0rz:
So do you think the iPhone 5S on Verizon is compatible with LTE on ATT and T-Mobile out of the box? I'm just wondering why they bothered to distinguish CDMA and GSM on the list... besides that they did it for previous models.
[Droid Ultra General] arcanexvi:
Band 4 AWS. All current VZW phones use Band 13. Band 4 is supported by the GS4 and 2013 Moto lineup but will require a software update to unlock it when it goes live (i assume the G2 supports it as well, which it may do it out of the box like the iPhone, I just don't care enough to check).

---------- Post added at 04:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:03 PM ----------

They share the same hardware so they all "should" be interchangable. However, they ATT/TMO versions are likely software locked out of the CDMA bands but who knows until someone tries. I won't own an iphone any time soon so I won't be able to test. :P
[Droid Ultra General] eighty1:
Thanks for the info.
[Droid Ultra General] doogald:
I thought I read somewhere that the AT&T/TMo versions do not include CDMA radios, and that Verizon sells the only versions of the 5c/5s 1532/1533 that have CDMA radios? (So, there are two versions of the 1532 and 1533). This would mean that you can't take an AT&T iPhone to Verizon, but you can take a VZW iPhone to AT&T.
[Droid Ultra General] arcanexvi:
http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/

There are only 2 USA model numbers available which to me implies that the ATT/TMO devices have the same hardware but likely have the radios software disabled (much the same way that band 4 is presently locked out on some of the vzw phones even though the hardware supports it). It's certainly possible that there are 2 hardware versions but that would be very unusual for them to share the same model number. I used to work for a MFG so I know how much headache that can lead to. So, just with my knowledge, logic would imply they are the same hardware with different software restrictions. I'm not definitively saying that this is how they are but just what would make sense given the information provided. I don't claim to be an apple expert as I don't particularly care about their devices.

I couldn't find the original article, but found this post at macrumors.com.

So, it looks like you are right - they are somehow disabling the CDMA radios in the AT&T/TMo versions. However, it's also clear that the VZW version is the one most able to bring to any other network.
[Droid Ultra General] arcanexvi:
Yup. Yay Block C agreement :)

(That's what dictates that VZW can no longer SIM/Carrier lock new devices moving forward. To purchase the spectrum they wanted, this was part of the deal).
[Droid Ultra General] raichur0xx0rz:
I'm just looking to use an iPhone as an iPod on my T-Mobile line lol

But yeah, I don't want to use an upgrade for the 5S, nor do I want to pay $750-800 for one, so I won't be able to test anytime soon either... ignoring the fact that I don't even get T-Mobile LTE here.
[Droid Ultra General] OriginalFire:
Were you able to at least get HSPA working on the Bell/Rogers network?
[Droid Ultra General] ponts:
Yes on both Bell and Rogers I had HSPA+.
[Droid Ultra General] vuphongkkk:
My droid maxx picked up T-Mobile LTE today after I added LTE APN. But it went down after an hour.
[Droid Ultra General] acefromnj2:
were you on 4.4 at the time? im hoping i can switch to t-mobile :)
[Droid Ultra General] Gtech145:
I'm thinking of switching to T-Mobile as well. I want to test 3G first though, I've read mixed reports saying it works or might work.
[Droid Ultra General] arcanexvi:
Refarmed areas will get HSPA+. Otherwise you'll pull EDGE and LTE.
[Droid Ultra General] Sesamechicken:
5 Lines on T-Mobile. Unlimited Talk Text + Data. $113 per month. Though after 500 MB's of data, it gets throttled down, but none of the people on my line are data hogs.
[Droid Ultra General] vuphongkkk:
I'm on 4.4 now and having stable LTE . speed around 35Mbps .
[Droid Ultra General] DaemonAshra:
just pulled down 27Mbps in my house on T-Mobile 4G. don't know how far out of town I can go and still get a signal, but i'm happy with it so far.

ALSO: for some reason, I can't seem to send text messages when the phone is in LTE/GSM/UMTS. works on Global though. Kinda sucks since I get a much fast 4G signal on the former.
[Droid Ultra General] vuphongkkk:
The same here. Can't send messages or make phone call on LTE since I update to 4.4 . but it was fine on 4.2
[Droid Ultra General] arcanexvi:
I just noticed the same as well when I was testing. If you force the phone into gsm only it'll work but you won't have lte anymore. I suppose if you're in a refarmed hspa+ area that's not a huge deal but if you're in an edge only area... Ugh.
[Droid Ultra General] vuphongkkk:
i'm in reframe area, i was happy with H+, but after pick up LTE my phone rarely stay on H+ . now only LTE or 2g not even EDGE @@

what the point of having fast data without phone call and message. it's not a phone anymore.

This must be the error from the 4.4 OTA because on 4.2 if i makes phone call it swichs back to 3g to make it instead of saying "roaming indicator off" now

Droid Maxx

Hello Everybody,

I am new to this thread. I recently purchased a phone from ebay (the seller recommended this thread). The phone is supposedly a Verizon Wireless

Motorola factory unlocked GSM phone Droid Maxx. I first went to my former carrier, Metropcs. The rep took a look at it and after inserting a MetroPCS sim card said that it doesn't work and its not an unlocked phone. I then went to a simple mobile retailer and after putting in a simple mobile sim card the phone wouldn't make phone calls or send text messages and only had poor signal wifi connection and absolutely no 4G service. I went back to the simple mobile retailer and he tried to work on the settings and the phone did send text messages and calls and had wifi internet. I went back home and after a few minutes nothing at all. Couldn't make a call or anything. I then took it back to the store and the guy told me that I needed to upgrade the software on the phone for an additional $80. I told him that this is a factory unlocked phone. I tried calling simple mobile customer service tech support and they told me to take the sim card out put it back in turn the battery off, etc. All of that didn't help.After I came home, I tried to go into settings myself and put it in "Global" mode and then back to GSM and now it can make some phone calls but still no 4G service and I don't know if it can send text messages. I contacted the ebay seller and he said that I needed to get an att or tmobile sim card. Please, any advice an suggestions are welcome. Thanks
[Droid Ultra General] Topsnake:
I don't know the specific carrier your using but my guess with the 4g issue is APN related. I can say with certainty that with TMobile, it will function normally as long as its set to hspa only.

Go TMobile. Don't let that guy "update" your software. There is no such thing.
[Droid Ultra General] @work:
They actually can reflash the home network info for CDMA radios @ metropcs. That said, they now use the Tmobile LTE/wcdma/gsm network. Metro is actually a nice backdoor way to get into the tmo network for a low price. He is having the same issues everyone else is having with 4g in Tmobile.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jengler77:
Hello,

I am reaching out one last time to see if I can get my tablet back to the way it was, before I messed it up doing the CWM install. I am going to put as much information on what I have done and be as clear as I can.

I am trying to avoid sending it in to Lenovo and try for a warranty, or paying $50 deductable to AT&T for my Full Protection Plan I am paying for each month on this FREE tablet I got from a promotion.

My device Info:

Lenovo IdeaTab A2107A-H on AT&T purchased at AT&T, Rooted with CWM Touch, European Stock Rom.

First thing I did was root using this thread, method 1 with 4.03root. This worked fine. I tried several times to Backup and install CWM with this method using MobileUncle. I even tried the “updates” that were posted there. Now, there is only one use to be three or four.

Second, I followed this on another site through a Google search to make a scatter-text and a back-up on my PC. This part of my problem now as I did not realize the back-up did not do a complete back-up of the tablet as I thought. It skipped some important files, “ANDROID” and “NVRAM” .

Third, I posted on the thread in the first link for help because I could not get CWM on no matter what I tried, and ursulavasey was nice enough to email me some programs and instructions. Using pemergency’s thread here. Which formats the tablet to install CWM

.

My major problem is, with the custom ROMs I have tried, FoxTrot, Tesmart, and the European Stock from here. It will not connect to the AT&T Network correctly. I can reset the IMEI number and connect but, it will drop out a lot and will not run on 3G. Except the Euro Stock, it says 3G in the notification area, it just seems slower than the OE Rom. I also downloaded a Stock Rom that was in two zip files and not sure how to get them into one file to flash, can’t find the link for that one though.

Just for fun I re-followed the GSM Hosting scatter-text thing again with my wife’s tablet and got a better back-up. Everything worked great, However when I flashed it to mine it will not let me reset the IMEI number with DroidTools.

So basically… Is there a way to fix this and put the OE Stock AT&T Rom back on somehow? or Can I re-write something in the back-up from my wife’s to get it to take my IMEI?

Sorry this is long, I wanted to get as much info in the OP as I could. Thank You for your time, ANY help would be appreciated. I hope I put this in the correct section, If not I apologize.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jengler77:
SOLVED! Except one small thing.

Well, I managed after trial and error to merge my incomplete back-up with the complete back-up of my wifes tablet. I used all the files from mine, added in her "Android" folder and CWM, formated and flashed with SPFlash Tool. At first the tablet would not boot to the OS, it would boot into CMW. So I tried a "Factory Reset" from there, and rebooted and successfully got the OS up. Then I could Root it again, replace IMEI number and setup the tablet again.

The only small thing I can not seem to make go away is the "NVRAM WARNING: Err = 0x10" in the Wifi Settings. I have tried several methods to make this go away. Nothing so far worked permently, only until a reboot or a screen unlock. I did not get this when I flashed my merged back-up using the "stock recovery" instead of CWM, so I think it is that recovery.

What is this "NVRAM WARNING: Err = 0x10" anyway and is it a major or minor problem?

I can't remember exactly what methods I tried, Is ther one that works 100%?

Hello, I use Google Current as my digital magazine and newspaper but I don't know why and when this handy app starts to drain my data (WiFi). In the past, I knew that this app use lots of data compared to other apps but recently its really starts to "conquer" my data plan. In fact, yesterday, when I check the data usage of my apps in 3G watch, I saw that Google Current uses about 1.05GB (84% of total data consumption of the phone) of data per day with extremely light use (I never opened it except one but I killed the app just right after). And when I check the data consumption of the phone of last 30days, it was even stunning: 91% of total usage is occupied by only Google Chrome it selves. Can anyone tell me why this app is so hungry? The only reason I could explain this is because I had lots of news feed subscription, when I opened the app, it may download EVERYTHING including picture and stuff even that I didn't pin them. Am I correct? Is this a bug? Do I really turn of the auto sync? Thanks.

This is really annoying and quite random, but my S3 will randomly reboot after installing new/updating an app from the play store.

After the reboot, it installs/updates just fine until a later time, where it will reboot again.

I've re-installed the ROM/kernel, wiped both caches, and checked for this thinking it may be the culprit but found nothing so far and the issue still persists.

Did anyone of you guys ever come across this?

I'm currently running cm 10.2, and I'm curious as to why the device is still only showing 7.8gb of available internal storage. I understand that the /system and /data partitions still take up space, but I didn't expect it to limit my storage that much. Any light that can be shed would be greatly appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] papstar:
Anyone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hlxanthus:
Your partition sizes are set and cannot be changed. Stock TW is huge so needs a lot of space. Flashing an aosp ROM doesn't free up any usable space. It just takes up a smaller portion of your system partition. Your data portion is also set to like 9±gb. Nothing you can do actually change that.

Sent from my Galaxy S4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reinaldistic:
you have to understand there are many factors at play here

1st no memory in the market actually has as much space as it advertises: your 16gb s4 probably has 14.7 actual GB of usable memory

2nd unlike the good old days (s1 thereabouts) when system memory was the system's only and your stuff went into an included but external SD card; your 14.7 GB need to be used for the phone's vital functions such as boot, kernel, drivers, recovery... all of which take up space

3rd your ROM will take up room too: tw is huge but don't be fooled aosp ROMs also take a good chunk even though the download sizes are two worlds apart this is what you're seeing on the top line (system)

4th your apps and downloaded apps will rob your system storage: there are some apps that still need to install stuff inside the apk itself (which goes in your system memory rather than your "SD card") which is partly what you are seeing on the bottom (data) line

5th ROMs install apps themselves too: cyanogenmod asks you to install gapps (gmail, g+, hangouts, calendar.....) all of which will take up lots of room specially if you set them up. there are many apps that are HUGE yet vital for the phone to function: like Google play and play services. but your rom will come bundled with all the default apps you see on your drawer the first time which will take up most of that (data) space
