[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] crowsnestitsupport:
So I spoke directly with highest level AT&T tech support and provided both my unlocked HTC U11 IMEI numbers and neither are registered in the AT&T system. They said that it comes up as a 2G phone. She was able to confirm that HTC did NOT certify the device with AT&T. They offered to add my IMEI in manually as a VoLTE and wifi calling capable phone but that it could take 2 weeks to do and even then there was no guarantee that it would work.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] bassoprofundo:
Did they actually do the manual add? I'd be curious to know as mine arrives today, and if you had them do it, we'd know the results within my 30-day return window. :)
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] crowsnestitsupport:
Received a call back from AT&T, (My account is actually commercial so I work with tier 2 support in business) who said they submitted my IMEI successfully and that it can take 2 weeks to propagate into their system. They will contact me once completed.

Currently on chat support with HTC.. Will see what they have to say..

lol, yup, Cingular 8125, same here. eww, windows mobile and stylus. the hardware was cool at the time though. i actually forgot, i also used a nokia n95 from 2007 til the SGS3 in 2012, only dabbled with android with the HTC HD2 for a few friends of mine (further making me love HTC), never got an iphone (they actually made me not want a "smartphone" for a long time), and finally got on the android bandwagon with the SGS3 while in rehab (from 2010 - 2013, lol long story, eventually was assistant resident director for 2 of those years). it was Samsung Galaxy S3 vs. HTC One. i made the wrong choice because: 1) i'm korean and went with samsung, 2) end of 2012 special for SGS 3 was free refurb, red color. i stuck with samsung til the S5 (and had to sell my AT&T model right away and drive to Delaware to buy a T-Mobile model tax-free just cause of unlocked bootloader!), i got sick of their dumb touchwiz and bootloader locking.

before that, i made a living in high school by modding old school (or new back then) Nokias for rich kids with custom led lights, inverted LCD screens, bridged resistors to make them stupid bright, etc. i even converted my own Nokia 8160 to Nokia 8860 housing with the working slider and everything. i remember keying in *3001#12345# on them, changing the operator name, and even being able to intercept someone else's incoming calls. holy crap, things were so insecure back then, but for much different reasons.

anyway, back on topic, [MENTION=6947587]crowsnestitsupport[/MENTION], i really really really hope we get some good news. subbing to this thread, thanks for keeping us updated.

So this is the result of my chat with HTC.com tech support... View attachment 4181939
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] NDuarte:
Final opinion??

Based on the current ATT limitations, in your hones opinion, is it worth getting the phone? I am truly debating it but wanted to see if the ATT restrictions affect "user experience".
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] crowsnestitsupport:
Depends on what is important to you.. Yes it affects me.. In this area we have Band 30 with 3 carrier aggregation and speeds near and over 100 meg, without it speeds are usually less than 20 meg. I work in IT closets deep inside buildings with bad coverage all day everyday and depend heavily on WIFI calling. and one of the roads I drive a lot has no coverage on HSPA and can not make call for the whole 7 miles, where on VoLTE I can talk the whole way through it.. So yes, it affects it big time.. But each use case is different..
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] NDuarte:
But. Do the positives on this phone overcome the shortcomings?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] crowsnestitsupport:
In my opinion, no.. def not.. I have an GS8+ from AT&T that i removed as much bloat as possible, use paid nova launcher instead of touchwiz and have everything themed black on it and it preforms as good as or better than the U11 in every aspect. And supports all the features not supported by HTC. And I am not even a Samsung fan.. But that is just my opinion..
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] bassoprofundo:
Thanks for posting the chat and for your notes on the experience with the GS8+. Interestingly enough, somewhat due to all the discussion here, I just picked up a secondhand (but mint condition) GS8+ yesterday and should have it on Monday and am glad to know that the experience in terms of speed is equivalent. I've been using a GS7 Edge on AT&T for a while, and a recent stint with a OnePlus 3t made me realize exactly how fast a phone could be (and how fast my GS7 was not). That same stint, however, made me realize how dependent I've become on the "advanced features" I lost moving to the OP3t. I work frequently in indoor areas where I have nothing but WiFi, and I often work in remote situations where I use my phone's data connection and notice the significant drop in speed of moving back to HSDPA+ when on a call. I was hoping the U11 would be that rare beast that'd give me both the speed of a bloatware-free, near-stock experience and the advanced features normally only available on a carrier-sold model. I love everything that the GS7E gives me, but after seeing how slow it could be compared to other SD820/821 based phones, I was a little apprehensive about the GS8. Glad to hear that I need not have been...
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] longdongsilver:
Hey bros, just got my new U11 (unlocked) and noticed my data magically stopped working about 2 hours after moving the SIM card out of my old HTC 10. So I called AT&T to have the account provisioned and the phone activated, and the guy told me the IMEI wasn't coming back as an HTC device but that he would enter it anyway. So my data is still not working, now I get to call AT&T again, but for what it's worth I did notice my data working earlier this morning while I was on a phone call, but I also noticed the LTE portion of the icon disappeared while I was on the phone call. Haven't been able to get a reliable speed test yet but on my HTC10 I've pulled a maximum of 90mbps so I would expect the U11 to do at least as well once AT&T fixes my data provisioning
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] JEANRIVERA:
Once they register U11 IMEI on their network LTE stops working you need to put a generic apn setting to be able to have 4G or 3G data my work around was give them my HTC 10 IMEI and now at leas I have LTE still no VoLTE but the phone works with the automatic generated APN nxtgenphone and connects to LTE data I even got a new SIM card from them and still the same if they change the IMEI on their system
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] holz75:
For at least one of your issues, Bands 29 and 30 are not listed in the HTC U11 specs, so that was already known. In fact, that is one of the reasons I'm holding off on buying the phone. I tweeted to HTC and Mo Versi (VP Product Management) a couple times as to why those bands were not carried, yet no one answered me.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] bassoprofundo:
Holy cow... I've had so many interactions like this with customer service desks everywhere that I actually felt pain reading that. :) My U11 is sitting at home on my desk still sealed in the box, and just sending it straight back to them for a refund in favor of the S8+ is starting to sound like a really attractive option.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] longdongsilver:
This is 100% correct. A manager in the Android support department at AT&T told me that the U11 is not compatible with their network and as such they will de-provision LTE from your account and only permit you to get HSPA+

This is an unfair business practice on AT&T's part, obviously being done because HTC didn't pay them to carry the phone, so they penalize HTC users for not buying a phone that AT&T makes a commission off of

Edit: Called AT&T and asked them to reprovision back to the old IMEI number, still no LTE on the U11, but I have LTE on my HTC 10, this is some straight up BS
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] crownroyal1:
Mine is shipping tomorrow, do you guys think that HTC/ATT will resolve these problems or will ATT just give us all the middle finger? I hate the thought of leaving HTC for the 1st time in 10 years, but the phone is bigger than I prefer and I dislike the semi-false advertising here....Also, do I care? Currently using m9 from ATT, what exactly will I be missing? Thanks for any info guys, appreciate it!
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] JEANRIVERA:
I have LTE on mine with the HTC 10 IMEI on their system, you need to make sure you have the correct apn setting
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] longdongsilver:
Unfortunately I don't see how there is any work around here absent AT&T not forcefully deprovisioning LTE from those who make the mistake of "activating" their new device. I don't personally care about Wifi calling or video calling but I can tell you VoLTE was nice when I had it on my HTC 10. Now that I think about it the rom I was using on my 10 must have lost VoLTE some time ago as well and I bet that was AT&T pulling this on the back end.

The reality as I see it is that HTC may "on paper" have a device that is compatible with AT&T, but because AT&T has not "certified" this device they are free to make whatever adjustments on the infrastructure side of their network that they can to inhibit your user experience. AT&T does not want us using HTC phones because they did not sell us the phone and they did not make a commission off of it. In fact one of their d***head managers I spoke to today specifically mentioned that part of the "problem" here is that I did not buy the device from AT&T.

It is a very dirty marketing tactic on the part of AT&T to penalize those who don't pay them the maximum amount to which they feel they are entitled, and on the one hand it's unfortunate that poor old HTC appears to be stuck in the middle, but on the other hand they decided not to pay AT&T for the certification and decided to not pass that tax on to us, their customers. So although we get to pay $650 for phone instead of the poor schmucks paying $850 for a Galaxy, we get a crippled experience that in some cases involves even losing out on critical features like LTE data.

I am strongly considering going to T-Mobile, I have just about had enough of AT&T's ish but I don't know if T-Mobile is crippling the devices like AT&T (and apparently even Verizon??) are so if it is more of the same then I don't know what to do. Personally I have opened a ticket with HTC to RMA the phone for full credit but I am going to wait and see for a bit because I really do like HTC phones (have been using them going back to the Inspire 4G) and have become very accustomed to their aesthetics as well as the factory support for bootloader unlocks and third party roms which for me has always been the arch requirement of my Android experience.

I completely did not expect any of this and I am very disappointed with HTC and how they are addressing this so far. But they are on a downward spiral unfortunately and I didn't think they would last much longer BEFORE I bought this phone and now I really don't think they will be around for much longer after this crap
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] crownroyal1:
Thanks for the response, I will give it a week or so and see, and if ATT doesn't change, I will return the phone, and also move back to Verizon or perhaps tmobile...I do not like ATT or HTC pulling this ****. So, with all due respect, **** em both
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] longdongsilver:
SOB............. it's AT&T !!! I got a new sim card and had it activated for my old IMEI...put the new SIM card in my U11...LTE is working again! No VoLTE or video calling.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] borisb:
It doesn't have band 30 either
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Av8ter:
Im with AT&T as well. I have 4G LTE working fine but with no band 29 or 30, no WI-FI calling, no video calling, no VOLTE calling is just too much. Maybe and hopefully soon, HTC will come out with another update and get some agreement with AT&T to enable and be able to use all of those features. I've been a HTC fan for many years and I really like the U11 phone otherwise but am really thinking about sending it back and staying with my HTC 10 until next year and see what they come out with next. With paying this much for this phone, you'd expect full functionality.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] epsix:
Return the U11 if you have a problems with att, lucky I have TMobile?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] longdongsilver:
I am really considering going to TMobile as a result of all this. Are you "fully functional" on TMO?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] jsaxon2:
TMobile fully functional. WiFi calling and VoLTE work for me. As far as I know, TMobile doesn't offer video calling, but I always use duo for that anyway since it can be used across different carriers/phones that don't support it.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] sylvisj:
Yes. I can't attest to VoLTE as I live in Iowa and we have no T-Mobile band 12 LTE (yet) (long story), but WiFi calling works beautifully. In fact, it worked out of the box - it was already active upon finishing initial phone setup. It even works when connected to my Verizon MiFi out in the boonies.

[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] lundylee:
a bit harsh on htc, no?

imho, seems like att is at fault here more than htc. as a consumer, i should be allowed to buy any phone i want and use it on a service provider i pay for. I believe the u11 has the hardware and software to accomplish volte, wifi calling, (as evidenced by tmo users being able to use them) then it's att who choses not to allow this option to its customers. more reasons to move to tmo with the u11 and not "return the device." att needs to change their ways or lose customers, not htc.

like paying for cable tv, i should be able to buy any tv and it should be able to watch shows. but if i buy a tv that is not smart, i shouldnt be complaining to att that I dont get internet on my tv, but to the tv maker. i shouldn't have bought the unit to begin. not a direct parallel example, but you get my meaning.

is htc lying to us? they have the functionality, att choses not to allow it to work. if htc didn't certify the device, then that's another story, but based on the chat logs, that doesnt seem like the case. this thread should be titled, att sucks for trying to milk as much money out of it's consumers by forcing us to buy their branded phones. sorry, you don't sell phones i like.

bottomline, if tmo can do it when they dont sell the phone either, att can too. punish the right company, not the wrong one.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] taphius:
This is one of the reasons why I left ATT, they do not allow features on unlocked variants of phones. My V20, s7e, g5 and g6 all lack various features since they are not att branded.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] JEANRIVERA:
My rant it is actually against both parties HTC & AT&T:

HTC : They are false advertising features on their own webpage

What US networks does the HTC U11 Unlocked edition work on?

The hardware for the unlocked HTC U11 will work fully on the following US LTE networks:

"AT&T, Alaska Communications, Cricket, MetroPCS, NET 10, Straight Talk, T-Mobile, Verizon, Wal-Mart Family Mobile

Additional carriers may be supported. To confirm, check with your carrier to ensure the bands listed below are supported.

Unlocked devices usually don't support services such as Voice over LTE (VoLTE), Wi-Fi Calling, Mobile Hotspot and LTE Carrier Aggregation. Does the HTC U11 Unlocked edition support those services?

Yes, unlike other mobile phone manufacturers, HTC is proud to offer the best user experience to our customers. We support Voice Services over LTE (VoLTE), Wi-Fi Calling, Mobile Hotspot and Carrier Aggregation. Our HTC U11 has been built from the ground up for the North America customers and wireless networks. Some services may require the feature to be supported by your mobile operator before it will function on the HTC U11."

and if you are going to tell me or highlight this part: "Some services may require the feature to be supported by your mobile operator before it will function on the HTC U11" for your information AT&T as mobile carrier support the features on their network, and by the way VoLTE was working perfectly fine on HTC 10 out of the box for me without any issues at all, so that is not valid point.

AT&T: They should have carried the device and/or provide support for those features, they do it all the time with iPhones even if it is not from their network it works without issues, maybe they could not carry the device because of Sprint exclusivity, or maybe HTC & Sprint are taking advantage because neither AT&T or Verizon didn't want to carry the device and they are trying to make that look like a fake "exclusivity deal" to make it look special, I guess we will never know for sure....

but it is unacceptable for both companies :cowboy:
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] lundylee:
but, doesnt that prove my point and shows why att is sad? i don't know what goes on behind the scenes at att, so simply put, they chose not to turn it not for a phone they don't recognize even though the u11 has the functionality. I took my own advice, switched to t-mobile. the sim card was popped in, and instantaneously i had LTE data (4g with att got me 3-5 mbs, LTE with tmo got me 15-20 mbs). got home on my wifi, notification came up saying i can make calls on wifi. called my wife's phone, said it was HD quailty (VoLTE). mobile hotspot works. att lost a customer because of their business practices of not giving enhanced features to all their customers.

i hope in the long run, you guys will be able to get full functionality despite not being an att branded phone. my loyalty lies more with HTC I guess. I've been with and using both companies for 7 years each. something to consider if you are off contract and not tied to att for work reasons.

I have a HTC U11 I bought unlocked from htc and I decided to go with AT&T. I have not had any of the problems your having. I am able to do all of the things you've mentioned. This is the best phone I've ever had and I've had htc one 7, 8 and 9. I used the others on sprint network that I bought from them. Ended up spending a lot more money for the phones. I don't notice any issues using the phone on either provider except sprint has several areas I had absolutely no service in.

uhh that seems to be software-wise. Did you try deleting the updates and the data of the Google app? Otherwise you can try to downgrade to marshmallow, then upgrade again to nougat, all via official update ZIPs. That should wipe all your data and reinstall the system, without voiding your warranty

Tbh I have no idea how to do that, I'm not an expert when it comes to technology but I guess I should try it
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
There's no need to know much... Do this:

-Google "zte support", enter the 1st page

-Enter your region, Smartphone, Axon 7

-Find the update zip (e.g. if you have an A2017G the update that appears is 1.0.0B11 which is Marshmallow).

-You'll download a zip with a huge numerical name, unzip it, there should be another zip inside. Unpack that zip on the root of your phone's internal storage (if you downloaded it on your phone you can unzip it with the app called "RAR", and you should unpack it on the location /sdcard/). The root of the SD is outside of every folder, where you would see folders like Android, DCIM...

-Go to Settings --> Updates, then wait until it scans --> Install if the update appears (it should appear as an option with an SD card image)

After that you have to wait for it to install and then you can search for updates again, this time an update should appear as an OTA besides the one you already have on your internal storage. You can just stay in marshmallow, but the security patch is a lil bit old and you don't have some N features.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Marandam:
I downloaded that file but i can't find that /sdcard/ from the rar app and can't install the update because my phone doesn't find it. I don't even have an sd-card in this, unless its internal. So what should i do?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
Lol no, the /sdcard/ is the root of the internal storage. AKA where the Android, DCIM, Downloads, etc. folders are. The internal storage is also some kind of SD. The external SD card will usually have a weird name like storage/FA68-66D8/

Also the internal storage might show up like

/storage/emulated/0/

I'll make it even easier: when you connect your phone to the PC and select file transfer (MTP) the phone will appear. Double click and you'll see "Internal Storage" (and SD card if you have one). Double click on "Internal Storage" and you'll be on the root of the internal storage. Throw the update.zip there and go to Updates from the phone
