HTC One M8 1800 MHz LTE Band

According to HTC.com, this phone has the 1800 MHz LTE band (LTE band 3).
I am currently in Australia, using a Telstra LTE SIM, and I can't pick up LTE on my phone.
I tested this SIM in another phone and it gets LTE, so the problem isn't the lack of reception in my area or the SIM.
I get 3G and H data but no LTE.
I know Telstra uses 1800 MHz for LTE.
I tried changing from Global to GSM mode and all the other modes as well as all the options available in the phoneinfo app.
It seems like this device has the 1800 MHz LTE band blocked, what can be done about this?
Thanks!

Also experiencing the same thing here. Second M8 (previous one replaced for multiple issues including this). When 4G/LTE is enabled my data connection continuously drops; resulting in failed sms (both sending and receiving), cut off of streaming and http services. With LTE disabled it works fine. This is not a solution and I refuse to 'make do' with slow 3G speeds. Enabling & disabling Airplane mode also gets it working again, if only for 5 minutes. There IS a permanent solution/fix – for rooted users only – but I don't want to root my device. Went in to the store and they want me to send it away for a 3rd replacement. Completely redundant as I know the next phone I'll receive will have the same issue. Frustrating.

  • Would the Unlocked Verizon HTC One M8 work with GSM Bands globally/?

    If i buy a HTC One M8 phone and then pay all the installments and finally get the unlocking code. One phone is unlocked, then is is possible that CDMA Sim Card of Verizon be replaced with a SIM card of any GSM operator globally

    as of last year all Verizon phones are unlocked of course if they were manufactured  starting last year. the HTC one m8 is sold unlocked however it may not work on all LTE bands Verizon operates on 1700F and 700C

  • In Russia, the operator MTS (Mobile TeleSystems) launched LTE band 5 (850 MHz)

    Good day!
    In Russia, the operator MTS (Mobile TeleSystems) launched LTE band 5 (850 MHz), but I can not use LTE, as my iPhone 5 is not connected to the LTE network! NO SUPPORT! At my rate has access 4G and on the other phone with LTE 850 MHz all works, and in an iPhone 5 does not work! Create an update for MTS in Russia! You need to change the version of the operator with 14.0 and change something in the software!

    I don't read Russian, but Beeline, at least, seem to be prominently advertising and selling the iPhone still:
    http://iphone.beeline.ru/5/start/index.wbp
    so unless there's a note on their site stating that they're going to stop, the reports that all Russian carriers have dropped the iPhone would seem to be incorrect or at least premature.

  • What are AT&T's 4G LTE bands?

    I am considering buying a new phone that supports FDD-LTE 1800/2100/2600MHz and TD-LTE B38/39/40/41. Could it work on AT&T LTE network
    [Subject edited for better exposure]

    Thanks GLIMMERMAN76 for your reply. When I looked at the specs again, I missed some vital information. Here is the correct specs: NETWORK LTE Band 13/4 (700/1700 MHz), CDMA/1xEVDO Rev. A (800/1900 MHz) GLOBAL NETWORK EDGE/GSM (850/900/1800/1900 MHz), HSPA/UMTS(850/900/1900/2100 MHz) Now, if I port my phone/number to AT&T, Would it work fine with all features? I am asking this questions as now all the new phones come with inbuilt GSM.

  • Does the HTC One M8 support 3G

    Does the HTC One M8 support 3G in areas where 4G is not available or do you just not get data services?

    Supported Data Technologies
    1xEVDO
    1xRTT
    EDGE
    HSPA
    XLTE Band 13 / 4 (700/1700 MHz)
    So, in other words, yes, you can get 3g service on the htc one m8

  • HTC One M8 Weekly Deal

    Hey All, so I am interested in getting the HTC One M8 phone using AT&T next.  On the weekly deal ad I noticed that you can either get the phone for $49.99 with a two year deal or for $0 with a $150 gift card with AT&T Next.  When I add the phone to my cart and I am ready to check out there is no mention of the gift card.  Am I missing something or did I read the ad wrong?
    Thanks,

    Hi bdematteo,
    Welcome to the Best Buy forum, and thank you for posting!
    After doing a bit of research, I found out that the HTC One (M8) 4G LTE is currently on sale for $49.99 with a 2-year contract.  That is a savings of $150.  The $150 Best Buy gift card is only available in-store and only if you decide to utilize one of the mobile payment options, such as Verizon Edge or Spring Easy Pay.  If you are interested in the $150 Best Buy gift card, then I would encourage you to visit a Best Buy store and speak with one of the mobile associates.
    Warmest Regards,

  • HTC One M7 ... How to use in FRANCE with french Sim Card ?

    Hello,
    I'm french and I was in US for few month ... I bought and used an HTC One M7 Verizon with a prepaid card and everything was OK.
    Now i'm back to FRANCE and i would like to use it with a French SIM Card.
    The sim card is detected by the phone but the thing is that only work on Edge ... no 3G or 4G ... so i can call or received call with Edge but no way to go on internet as i don't have 3G.
    The french sim card is 3G-4G ready ... is there something i can do on the phone configuration to have 3G/4G
    Thanks a lot for your help

        Hello zorin!
    I can understand your desire to use the phone you recently purchased on the network in France! All of our 4G LTE phones are automatically unlocked for international use. However, they are designed primarily for use on the Verizon network, and it is possible that they will not work to their top performance capabilities on another network.
    You can reach out to HTC to find out if there are any other options for getting your device to work bettery in France. HTC can be reached at 866-449-8358.
    Thank you,

  • Why doesn't the Verizon Version of the HTC ONE (M9) have Wifi Calling?

    I have been with sprint for 11 years and recently upgraded my HTC One (M7) to the HTC One (M9). went to jamaica and was able to keep in touch with everyone free of charge with wifi calling. Once i returned i decided to leave sprint and come to Verizon. I realized today they dont have wifi calling on this phone. Why is that. isn't it CDMA like sprint

    They're planning on releasing it in mid-2015:
    Verizon Wireless (NYSE: VZ) plans to introduce Wi-Fi calling in the middle of next year but does not see an urgent need for it, according to Verizon Communications CFO Fran Shammo.
    Speaking at the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Media, Communications and Entertainment Conference, Shammo noted that Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus support Wi-Fi calling. He said Verizon needs to do "some technological work in our network to make it available," and it should come around the middle of next year.
    However, he said Wi-Fi calling was "never a top priority" for Verizon. "We built our voice platform so extensively [that] there was never a need for us to tell our customers, 'Oh, our network is not good enough so you need to go on Wi-Fi to complete your call.'"
    He noted that when a call goes onto a Wi-Fi network, it's difficult for Verizon to guarantee the quality of service on that call, which is what Verizon has built its brand reputation on. That's a major reason Verizon waited so long to launch Voice over LTE service--it wanted to make sure it had adequate coverage that could replicate the voice experience of calls on its 3G CDMA network. Verizon has just started rolling out VoLTE service.
    Other carriers are moving ahead with Wi-Fi calling plans. Ralph de la Vega, CEO of AT&T's Mobile & Business Solutions Group,  said last week that AT&T will launch Wi-Fi calling in 2015 but that the carrier will use it only as a complement to Voice over LTE or 3G-based calling. "We don't have this burning desire" to use it to enhance coverage, he said.
    The comments were notable in light of T-Mobile US' (NYSE:TMUS) announcement this week that heavily emphasized Wi-Fi calling and using personal routers to create Wi-Fi coverage areas in subscribers' homes. T-Mobile is the first and only U.S. carrier to support Wi-Fi calling on the new iPhone. Sprint (NYSE: S) also launched a Wi-Fi calling service for its Android smartphones this past February.
    In terms of other hot topics, Shammo said Verizon would not be leasing phones, as Sprint is doing with its "iPhone for life" offering with the new iPhones. Under that program, individual customers will pay $20 a month for a 16 GB iPhone 6, instead of $30 under normal financing. At the end of 24 months, they can trade in their iPhone for a new iPhone. The iPhone 6 Plus will cost $25 per month under this program instead of $35 under normal financing. If a customer wants an iPhone with more internal storage they will pay more per month. The leasing program applies to families as well.
    Shammo said Verizon offers its Edge handset-financing and early-upgrade program but that the "majority" of Verizon customers are still choosing subsidized handsets paired with two-year contracts. In contrast, AT&T said sales through its similar Next program represented around 50 percent of all smartphone sales in the second quarter.
    Shammo also touched on whether Verizon might sell its wireless-tower assets, saying the company remains open to it. In the past, doing a deal "always came down to price and terms and conditions," which he said have become more favorable. He said that Verizon's network is experiencing high demand and that the company would like to retain the flexibility to add towers or add network gear to existing towers. "It's an option for us," he said. "We continue to look at it, and we'll see what happens."
    Last week at a separate investor conference, Verizon Communciations CEO Lowell McAdam also said the company would be open to selling some of its towers if the price was right. "Those deals are coming to us a little more now, and if an opportunity presented itself to increase shareholder value" Verizon would be interested in pursuing it, McAdam said, according to Reuters. McAdam said Verizon received interest in its towers two years ago, but the bids weren't high enough.

  • Please Add LTE Band 12 Support for better connection

    I was deeply disappointed to find the recent 5.1.1 release of Android didn't include adding Band 12 support to the Z3C! The Sony representative I spoke to in March said the phone had the radio to be able to connect via Band 12 and just needed to be enabled in the software. Recently you enabled Band 12 for the Z3 (http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/06/03/t-mobile-updates-its-xperia-z3-to-lollipop-throws-in-band-12-lte-support-for-good-measure/) so you clearly have the software to do this already, please please please add it to the Z3C software!!! For anyone on T-mobile it will equate to a substantial improvement in signal availability and strength, and everything else you do is much less important than that! Thanks.

  • HTC One Wi-Fi Connection Issues - Please help!

    I need major help!
    I am currently on my third HTC One, after two attempts at a solution, and I am still having the same problem. Here it is: I will connect to my Wi-Fi at home, successfully browse a few pages online, press the power button to put it to sleep, press the power button again to turn it back on, then see (in the status bar) the Wi-Fi disconnect then reconnect, try to browse more pages online with no luck because the connection does not work. The only way I can consistently get Wi-Fi to work on this phone is after waking up my phone from sleep I have to turn Wi-Fi off then back on to re-establish the connection.
    I've check my settings extensively and changed a few defaults in an attempt to get this to work. Here are my settings currently: "Keep Wi-fi on during sleep" - Always; "Wi-fi Frequency band" - 5 Ghz only; "Wi-Fi optimization" is checked; "Best Wi-Fi perfomance" is checked. My Wi-Fi password was entered correctly and I am currently writing this on a laptop connected to the same home network.
    I am at my wit's end. I just want this beautiful phone to work properly. Are there any suggestions as to what might be causing this and how to fix this situation? Or am I doomed to an endless cycle of HTC One exchanges until I find one that works? Please help! Thanks.

    It seems that rebooting worked for you.  That's great! 
    Here's what happened to me:
    I purchased two HTC One phones, one for me, one for my wife.  Both could not connect to my 2.4GHz wifi router.  I did all the usual steps, reboot router, change password and reboot, switch from 128-bit encryption to 64-bit encryption and reboot, etc.  Nothing worked.
    The problem:  Android 4.2.2
    The solution:  Upgrade to Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean) via the [Settings] - [Software Update] - [Check New] menu
    But how to upgrade when you cannot access WiFi?  Call Verizon.  They will either temporarily extend your data plan to allow you to download the massive 500MB installation package or work with you to put the update on a laptop where you can then transfer it to your SmartPhone via the memory card, or over USB.
    This is not meant as a plug for Verizon, but I must say the technical folks are pleasant, patient, and very capable.  And now my HTC One, and my wife's, are happily communicating with many different WiFi routers both 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz.  (Notice picture of two smiling people riding horses into the sunset)
    Hope this is helpful to the next HTC One customer.

  • LENOVO VIBE Z2 K920 - Chinese vs International - LTE BANDS / FREQUENCIES

    I have two questions regarding the differences between the Chinese market version of the VIBE Z2 K920 and the international version of the phone. Do the two versions operate on different frequencies? My main concern is the LTE bands and whether there is any benefit to buying the international version over the Chinese version. My carrier operates on LTE bands 7 (700 MHz), 4 (1700 MHz), & 4 (1700 MHz). Are there any hardware differences between the two versions or is the only difference the lack of Google Apps and less language options in the Chinese market version? Thanks!

    Here is another site that claims both FDD-LTE and TDD-LTE support but they mention that FDD-LTE must first be activated. Attention Please:
    Lenovo K920 Vibe X2 Smartphone is compatible with both TD-LTE and FDD-LTE; and it needs to be activated first before supporting FDD-LTE network .

  • HTC One, Blue (Verizon Wireless) UNLOCK

    Hi
    Am interested in buying HTC One, Blue (Verizon Wireless) from Amazon with the below specs.
    Factory Unlocked for any GSM SIM Card
    Qualcomm Snapdragon Quad Core Processor
    4G LTE
    Beats Audio
    HD Display
    Can anyone confirm if this phone is already unlocked and can be used in Africa Specifically Ghana on any GSM network?
    Thanks

        Good morning, kwabesei
    That is a very good question, and that is also a great device. I am showing that you are able to use the HTC One while traveling to Ghana. If you were to use the phone while traveling outside of the United Stated it will have International rates. I do show that the per minute rate woudl be $2.89 per minute. Text rate would be $0.50 to send a message and $0.05 to reveive. The data rate is what will add up real quick. That would be $20.48 per MB of usage. I would suggest if you are going to use data to have it hooked up to wi-fi when ever you can. You can take a look at the full rate by following this link: http://vz.to/17KseUf If you have further questions please feel free to reach back out to us at anytime.

  • Lte bands supported by iPhone 6 GSM from USA

    Hello all,
    I live in Norway and my brother goes to school in USA.
    I was planning to get him to buy me an iPhone 6 but i worry if the USA GSM iPhone 6 support the LTE bands in Norway.
    I know this was an issue with iPhone 5 and 5S.
    In Norway we, for the most part, use band 3, 7 and 20.
    So my question is does the iPhone 6 GSM sold in USA support LTE bands 3, 7 and/or 20?

    The going rate at applestore in Norway (with todays exchange rate) for the base 6 with 64GB is $1043 so there is a substancial amount to be saved, close to $300.
    Yes, I know. We had an exchange student from Rena Norway last. She bought an iPhone 5s before she left because of the substantial cost difference. LTE was not an issue as she was mostly using WIFI on her phone.
    I am traveling to Norway during December of this year. It will be my second trip having visited Oslo and Rena on my last trip. I was there during Norway's independence celebration. Had front row seats at the palace in Oslo for the parade. Really enjoyed the clothing. Also experienced Kippers and three different kinds of Caviar. For one of the meals I was greeted with reindeer and it was really quite good.
    When I travel to Europe I use my iPhone 5 and just get a sim when I arrive. Never had a problem. No LTE data but for my needs the slower 3G worked fine.

  • Why doesn't the GSM iphone 5 have five LTE bands?

    I notice the CDMA iphone has five LTE bands while the GSM instrument has been separated into a European and North American version.

    Because it doesn't. No one here can answer any question as to why Apple made the engineering decison they did.
