Play in the states--no LTE? - X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone else have a Play in the US? Do you have LTE? I don't. My download is <1.0mbps
I'm on T-Mobile, and have verified the APN settings listed on T-Mo's website (I can't post links due to my n00bness).
It says I'm on band 4, which I believe is an LTE band, but I haven't gotten LTE since I received it. My tablet gets full LTE in the same locations.

Do you have the European or Canadian version?

Mexican. Unlocked edition via motomaker. It functions, I just don't have LTE.
I'm betting this will mean I won't be able to make calls on B12, either.

This phone should be 100% compatible with Tmo
The XT1563 SS & the XT1563 DS both have the exact same bands (LTE) and should work all over North & South America.
Tmo uses AWS 1700/2100 band 4 for LTE as well as band 12 (700) which the Moto X Play XT1563 has.
Silly question - Did you select LTE as the preferred network? under network settings, otherwise it probably won't hook up to LTE just go 3G.

Do you test this by speed, or simply looking for it to say lte? Try doing a speed test.

I did a speed test and got <1mbps down.
My 1st gen moto x gets LTE here. I drove for 30 miles watching the new one and it never got LTE.
Preferred network type only gives the option of 2g/3g/4g, I don't see LTE listed.

manually put the APN settings of TMO

Okay, this *may* be a false alarm. I went into the "*#*#4636#*#*" settings page, and it shows LTE. Even though the menu bar shows "4g" (which in the past meant HSPA+ on my T-mo stuff), the internal page showed LTE.
I did the same speedtest on my tablet which shows LTE and it's showing comparable (slow) speeds. I'm always on wi-fi here so I never noticed!
I'll run a speed test next time I'm down in the valley where reception is really good and see what's up.

Just got mine today, I'm on cricket and getting LTE. The phone shows 4G in the status bar but connection details shows LTE

TMO is the source of your confusion. While the rest of the world equates 4G with LTE, TMO's nasty marketing relabeled HSPA+ (still 3G elsewhere) as such.

Yeah I've never heard of HSPA+ referred to as 4G. In the UK LTE is just called 4G.

Nexus One Speed test on TMO HSPA+

Dear T-Mobile,
Come visit us in south florida, the oil hasn't hit the coast yet, it's till sunny and beautiful. The only thing missing if your delicious speed. We are still struggling with measly .5mbps/.3mbps speed.
Here's my AT&T Nexus One, same speeds, ran the test 4 times in a row. Los Angeles, CA server.

Nice! -- Yeah... It'll be nice to see what sort of "real world" scenarios of devices that have 21 Mbps HSPA+ compatible radios in them. The 7.2 Mbps max on the Nexus One on the TMO version really hampers it from taking full advantage.
Cheers,
Kermee
Here is Rogers Canada.
Los Angeles please...home of the NBA Championship team Lakers.
Glad it finally came to Seattle! Too bad I'm about 20 miles south of Seattle and it doesn't reach my area.
Sorry, but Nexus One, doesn't support HSPA+.
Here's Portland Oregon. Decent ... good speeds just need a better signal
Sorry, but Nexus One doesn't support HSPA+! (http://www.google.com/phone/static/en_US-nexusone_tech_specs.html)
Nexus One is "just" HSPA=HSDPA+HSUPA (7.2Mbps & 2Mbps).
HSPA gives up to 14.4Mbps DL and 5.7Mbps UL.
With HSPA+ you can reach up to 56Mbps (with MIMO and 64QAM).
AT&T might be upgrading their IP backhaul and backbone...
I've reached 4.7Mbps and 1.3Mbps in Movistar Chile.

Its a small world after all..... how ya been?
Not sure this will be the same as OKC but I saw in the sprint forums OKC was scheduled first of 2011, but Best Buy says it probably be this fall and in some places in Oklahoma 4g is being tested... i would take that with a grain of salt though.
I've heard that they are setting up the infrastructure and testing it. I'd imagine it would be sometime 2011. Again, just hearsay though.
I used to work at the sprint call center in okc that has 4g tech support (i know y have 4g tech in a place that has no 4g) they told us okc will get it in the spring where the call center is on nw expressway and council there is a 4g tower next in but they won't turn it on

As far as Tulsa goes, I turned on 4g yesterday on my epic and was able to pick up a weak signal around 7st and memorial. I guess Sprint is in the testing phase right now
I connected at 71st and Mingo. It took some scanning but I finally connected with 2 bars.
Do you think maybe the store at 71 across from the QT between Memorial and Mingo may have a small 4G tower to show it off, and you are picking that up? Or do you think they have actually started turning it on in Tulsa.
No, I called my buddy at that store and asked if 4g was officially here, he said no but it is in testing phase. I also asked of they have a 4g airave installed and he said that they did not. So welcome to beta wimax in tulsa.

Well I'm at 71 a Yale, but on a CM 6.2 with no 4g. I guess I will try out the the 4G version of it tonight.
Will post later on what I get at 71 and Yale.
My Sprint store said that Fort Smith Arkansas would see it around the end of 2011. We are way smaller than Tulsa so I would say before then?

Sprint 4g in Tulsa
There is a Sprint 4g tower on in downtown Tulsa. Signal is weak but the speed is great. Can't wait for more towers to be activated.
I connected to 4G in Stillwater tonight so it has to be real soon
Pics or it didnt happen? I got some screenies,
I was sitting at Haruno Sushi Bar at a booth inside by the Sushi Bar. On a side note they have the best Sushi in town

Speed Test.
4G is soo FAIL
LOL about 1/8th of what I've gotten on Tmobile in the same areas on my Nexus One. But I'd still rather have Sprint because Tmobile bounces between Edge, 1G, 3G, and HSPA nonstop, without your phone ever moving. Nothing like waiting for HSPA to kick in while your waiting for a simple weather widget to refresh. I'll be curious to see what Sprint does when its finally rolled out here but I am not hopeful it will be anykind of useful. At least with Sprint I can turn the nonsense off and they are a little faster than Cricket.
4G = FAIL

You got 25mb download speed on a 3g phone?

AT&T buys Tmobile

AT&T buys t mobile, and promises LTE roll out to 95% percent of Americans. The purchase will relieve stress on AT&T's towers, and allow faster data speeds, and better voice quality.

interesting but i kinda saw it coming, only this would make sense
it was either sprint or ATT ... and sprint doesnt like GSM
i wonder how is that going to improve reception on our atrix since we are on 850 / 1900 / 2100 band .....
or maybe by the time the merger is done i'll buy a new cellphone already
All hail the ATT tyrant!
BOOOOOOO I say. I hate AT&T and all their IPhone loving zombie customers. My 12 year old T-Mobile account (formally voicestream before the name change) will be cancelled the hour the acquisition goes through. AT&T will not see one red cent of my money.
I dont mind it... Tmobile is spottiest of all carriers around here, so should only make both of them better...
However, how will it work w/ the 3G/4G? They are different bands, hence why jailbroken and unlocked iphones never had access to Tmo's 3G, just edge. Does our phone support their bands as well?

It doesn't work that way. They will be using T-Mo's backhaul only towards LTE deployment and maybe in support of the H+. So any current phones will not be affected by this in any way, meaning you will not be able to pick up a T-Mo Nexus S and use it on AT&T 3g, nor will you be able to use an Atrix on T-Mo "4G".
I live in eastern PA. My wife uses Tmobile and I have ATT. We both use the Captivate (hers is unlocked). In the year or so we have been with each carrier I have dropped about 2 calls to her 20-30. Since she has been with the captivate it has been a little better because of the better phone/modem but Tmobile has been spotty for a loooong time with little improvement over the years. This should work out well for both ATT and Tmobile customers. Tmobile customers may have to pay ATT/Verizon like prices sooner or later but the trade-off for the way better coverage should be worth it. Sprint & Verizon to merge next? Sprint is clearly the weakest of the bunch now by a longshot.

you're freaking retarded, and wrong. Don't give a smartass wikipedia link if you don't know what you're talking about.
The atrix says Hspa+ whether it is on HSPA or HSPA+ or UMTS.
So HSPA+ does not mean you're getting Hspa+.

The hspa+ wiki page is apropriate for a thread titled/asking "is there a network type hspa+?".
Your wrong. Depending what mods you, me, the op or any other Atrix user has done; the data symbols could be displayed correctly. The op didnt specify what his setup was and I didnt ASSuME. The info you offered may or may not apply to the op, the info i offered does.

Sorry about being vague. I'm just running stock 83 on att. I was just wondering if under settings, about, status if there was actually an hspa+ network type or if when it says hspa that also means hspa+. Thanks for the answers. I did read the wiki page btw. Would be nice if it was a pure IP deployment. I wonder what circuits speeds they had going to the towers before backhaul update and after.

Ha ha yeah I'm sure overall VZW is much more consistent and MUCH faster than sprint. Its only where sprint has their new LTE Plus that you see those kinds of speed tests
Also, I do travel internationally and am aware that many places do not yet have LTE, this thread is in no way ment as a slam to those ppl... It simply for those who do have LTE to show us how lucky they are!!
