So I have a free spot on my family plan and was thinking I could just get a BYOD sim and stick it in a 4G LTE stick for use with my Android HU. All the ones I have seen has compatible miss all the relevant bands for US use, specifically for AT&T. Does anyone in the US have any suggestions?
I second this thread for Verizon.

So I finally got my dongle and SIM card and it is working and pretty much without any extra apps or root.
I purchased the HUAWEI E397 4G usb dongle 100M data card Unlocked 4G LTE MODEM B397Bu-501 - the important part is the -501 at the end they have several models with different band compatibility and the 501 was the one with AT&T compatibility.
On my Eonon GA2167 after I installed the stick the Cellular Networks entry showed up automatically in the options, I was able to edit the APN data there (you will likely want to be connected to wifi when you do this, if it's trying to provision data you wont be able to select APN data). I just copied the APN data from my phone and it worked. Using Cricket (AT&T).
I had some trouble getting it to work at first, it would recognize the USB stick allow me to edit APN and then connect to the network but I had no data connectivity. Eventually it started working. Not sure if this was after I copied every APN setting (previously I had just entered name, apn and the MNC and MCC) once I added the MMS/MMSC data and APN type it started working a little after that. But it could also been on the network side since it was a new SIM I had just activated hours earlier and had been inserted into 2 other phones (to help try to activate it).
Anyway if someone wants a stick that works on AT&T bands in the US this should work. The headunit only shows a 3G connection and reports WCDMA with signal check lite, but I think that's due to the firmware of the HU not being setup for 4G LTE, with a speed test I get about 8-9 Mbps down and 6-7 up, not super fast but I believe that is LTE speeds since HSPDA doesn't support uploads that fast, also the stick itself shows a cyan LED with is meant to be for LTE connected network. Either way its way faster than the wifi connected to the hotspot on my phone (not sure if its the wifi antenna or what but wifi performance is very subpar on this unit). Also it connects quicker on startup (and does so automatically) than wifi.

Thank you for this info! Where did you buy yours?
Has anyone tried this on a Joying_JY-UM135N or JY-UM135N2?
When I look at this listing on aliexpress, further down, it lists a number of "Network Bands", including the -501. How should I interpret this? Does the modem support all those bands, or do I have to specify when ordering? When I search for "huawei e397" on Amazon, it shows me a -53 version. Is this the same as the -501, or different? I'm also curious as to why the only hit I get on aliexpress is a listing in the Netherlands. ??

There are 5 different variants (2 off which offer CDMA/EVDO for 3/2G). They are all the same base stick but vary depending on bands supported.
This website details each on and the bands its supports: https://www.4gltemall.com/huawei-e397-4g-lte-mobile-internet-key.html
I bought mine from Aliexpress, you will want to make sure you specifically get the -501 for AT&T I believe the -53 supports some T-Mobile bands.
You might want to hold off till I can report more tho. After initially getting it working, it is proving to be inconsistent, I'm not sure if its a low power issue (I have ordered a Y USB cable) or something else. The -501 don't support the full compliment of AT&T bands and I'm not sure if that is the problem, it is missing band 2 for 3G and Bands 2, 4 and 12 (though 17 is kind of part of 12). I know in my area they use Band 2 for both LTE and 3G and I'm not sure if that is my issue. I seem to struggle to get it to work at home but if I am driving around town it will pop up and connect, FWIW once its connected its solid even at home until I disconnect and try to reconnect.
I will update has I make progress.
I have the exact same head unit and have the exact same issue, except I live in Australia and I'm pretty sure I have a spare Telstra (AU telco) dongle lying around, so it literally just works right out of the box? I thought these do support 4G, or at least I thought I saw it advertised like that (or maybe those are the Android 8.0 ones). What else have you done with your head unit OP, not many ppl it seems have this model and look to modify it lol.
It supports 4G speeds, when I get a connection in a 4G area on a band my dongle supports, the icon on the headunit shows 3G, but I get 4G speeds. I thinks its just a case of the limited firmware not supporting the icons and reporting for 4G but since all data transfer is handled by the stick then it works at those speeds.
A bit of an update. I bought a USB Y cable in case lower power was an issue, for the first 4 times after getting the cable things worked right away at boot up with no interference, that was a couple of days ago, since then it hasn't happened since. I am likely going to order a Momentum 313U, its AT&T branded and supports its full compliment of bands, but no idea on Android support. The only 2 things I could find about Android support was a generic listing on Aliexpress showing what appeared to be a 313U and stating it was an Android device and a Pilipino website saying it wasn't recognized by an Android Tablet (I think that's what google translate was telling me).
Failing that I will order a Huawei 303C, it supports the full compliment of AT&T 3G bands and is on the confirmed working list. No 4G but I think AT&T still has full coverage of HSPDA in my area along with LTE.
I have the exact same head unit from eonon and purchased the AT&T usb velocity stick off their site and plugged it into the USB port and it does not recognize it. The led is lit up on the stick but nothing on the head unit. It would be nice since this one has external antenna ports and supports LTE. Is there any software I need to install on the head unit?
Another update: I ended up buying a Huawei E303c stick, works on all the AT&T 3G bands and I haven't had an issue with it at all. max download speed has been around 3 Mbps but that is enough for voice commands, Pandora and navigation so I'm happy. I got closer 10+Mbps with the 4G stick, but I only worked some of the time (I think due to AT&T using multiple 4G bands in my area and the stick not supporting them all).
Anyway the Huawei E397 is up for sale and I'll suffer with 3G speeds.

I just got a Huawei E303c stick for AT&T. I plugged it into my generic Atcgfheny Oreo head unit and it shows no 3G icons. It blinks a blue light, but not connectivity on the head unit. Is there something else I need to configure? I can't find any settings in the menu.

So, i have bugged folks on this forum about getting 3G to work on other carriers, and it turns out - it does work! At first i found out my settings were set to GSM only, but now i also found this weird inconsistency possibly a bug.
If i have Data Off after using 3G or GPRS for some time, when i turn it back on, phone would not connect to data service. After enabling it will simply time out.
I found that if i switch from GSM to WCDMA, and than back, 3G network would connect and work.
I don't know if it's specifically my phone, or a bug, so i'm just throwing it out there.

What carrier are you getting 3G to work? I doubt its working if its anything that doesn't run on tmobiles bands..the icon will come up and stuff but your either getting edge speeds or not getting any connection. I've had this phone show me 3G with full bars and just time out.. I can eveven put in a sim with a sidekick plan or other data plan and it shows 3G but it does not work
Well, i'm overseas and i have used it on Russian carrier Beeline and carriers in two other countries. Now, i do set my connection to WCDMA only, which gives me 3G icon. When i set it to GSM only, i see GPRS icon show up.
So, it does work, i use fring, online radio, google maps. But as far as speed concerned, i have not tested it.
Just ran a speed test using Speedtest.net tool, I get 3951kbps download, and 655 upload
thats 3G
Edit: Problem has been resolved. See thread linked below in this first post.
Original Post:
Please confirm whether or not 3G data works on your MXPE and report which carrier you are using. If an MVNO, please
report the network affiliation.
I am using Ting on Sprint network and my 3G data does not work.
I described the problem In this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/help/3g-data-t3233752
I'm working with Ting and Motorola to troubleshoot the problem. I am aware of 3 phones counting mine that do not get 3G data. Trying to ascertain whether this is a fairly isolated problem, if all MXPE phones have the issue, if this is a Sprint issue, or if it is a Ting or other MVNO issue on Sprint.
To summarize: Voice, text, LTE and 1X data all work. 3G data does not work although twice I was able to get it to work for less than 1 minute. It makes no difference if I am in an LTE area or not. SignalCheck Pro mostly reports the 3G data connection as "unregistered" although sometimes it reports it as "inactive". A SIM swap from a Sprint SIM to a Ting SIM made no difference (exact same part number). Various factory resets and carrier wipes also made no difference.
Another symptom is that my phone will not activate unless I have a Wi-Fi connection. Apparently the 3G data connection is needed to properly activate the phone.
Thanks much,
DC
Yes, on Verizon
I'm on Sprint, and when I'm in a low signal area (home), my 3G cycles on and off constantly. I came from a 2013 Moto X and did NOT have this issue. If Marshmallow update doesn't fix it, I will likely sell it and go Nexus 5x.

Al three, LTE, 3G and 2G work on AT&T.
Looks like I am not alone here.
Mine is Moto X Pure Edition 32GB from Amazon.
I am in Singapore using Starhub.
I have LTE/4G or 3G, but it is like on and off.
Especially when I am on the train and the train goes underground, mostly i am not connected to internet.
It may show LTE or H, when I load FB, it will show me loading icon. That's it.
Hopefully this is a software bug.
It really pissed me off since my old phone Xperia Z Ultra has no issue at all in that area.
Anyone find anyway to fix it?
Thanks.
Thanks for the help. I also posted this request on a couple of other forums and even though the response was limited, there does not appear to be an issue with Sprint which leaves my phone or Ting as the problem.
DC
It works fine for me I'm on T-Mobile. Have you tried going into the settings and searching for cellular network? Because I had a strange issue where my LTE wasn't coming on. I'll post a screen shot of what I'm talking about.
This is in the settings where it says more.
As soon as I push cellular network it starts to scan then a list of providers pop up then I select my provider.

Turning off LTE in mobile network setting. That solve my problem for me. Personally I like to control network mobile manually. My old phone used to be completely manual means I can force my old phone to connect U.S. Cellular(3G) or Verizon(3G) while im in the 1x area.

Yes, I'm very familiar with that menu but it must be different for CDMA carriers. I get a new menu after choosing cellular network and one of the options (Preferred Network Type) is where I can choose LTE, 3G, 1X or Global. Makes no difference which I choose, 3G still doesn't work.
I've returned the phone to Motorola for a replacement.

Just turned off 4g to see if 3g works since I always get 4g where I live. It works fine on Verizon.

Hi DC, I have the exact same problem as you. Wondering if getting a new phone from Motorola fix your 3g issue?
Thought I would test this since I'm on Sprint. Forcing 3g seems to work fine, downloading speedtest on 3g right now.
I am on MM and did not test on LP.

I haven't received the new phone yet. Motorola took a bit longer than originally thought. The new phone is supposed to be here early next week. I'll report back after I get it activated and tested.

The new phone did not fix the issue. Still no 3G data. What carrier are you with? So far, other than a couple of overseas users, the only people I've found with the problem were customers of a Sprint MVNO.
Since I sent the first MXPE back, I've acquired an Airave because the Sprint signals at my house are a bit weak. Strange thing is that I do get 3G data when connected to the Airave but nowhere else.
DC
Update. After two Moto X PE phones, numerous factory resets, much research and testing, there is now a work around to this problem. The problem does not appear to impact any phones on the big 4 networks. It only impacts phones on a Sprint MVNO.
Thanks to all who participated in this thread.
There are now known eHRPD issues with Sprint and their MVNOs. The work around solution is to disable eHRPD. Sprint is working on changes to eHRPD that may resolve the issue permanently. Thanks to Ting for their persistence in helping get to the bottom of this problem.

3G on Moto X Pure Edition.
Yes it works in some area's on T-Mobile, Does not work sometimes. Wish the range was better.
I am really sorry for post duplicated, but I have only 5 days to return this phone which I absolutely love.
However this Internet issue is really bothering me.
I just bought my Mate 8 with build number NXT-L29C636B103, but I have been experiencing mobile data issues with my T-mobile carrier that only when I get 4G symbol, I can go online. Whenever I am getting either 3G or H+, I can not connect to internet at all.
I have tried my wife's T-mobile phone, at the same location, her phone will get 4G LTE, my phone will have 4G, whenever she is getting 4G, I am getting H+ or 3G, which I can not go online anymore but on her phone, it still works.
Is is because of the version of the Mate 8 I am getting or the setting is wrong, please help!!!!
Probably wrong settings. Check your apn. And also make sure your phone isn't set up to just LTE only in the phones hidden menu
Update the software also and then check access point settings and set manually.
I check the updater, but there is no new update at all.
About the APN, I have copied exactly the same setting as my wife's S6, but still this issue.
Basically, whenever I am getting 4G above the bar, I can go online, no problem at all. But whenever it comes 3G or H+, my internet completely dropped!
I don't have that problem on T-Mobile with the NXT-AL10. I can be on one bar of HSPA and go online. There are two things possible. You have a bad phone with a bad radio or T-Mobile is doing work in your area and that's why you have no internet on anything other than 4G. T-Mobile was like that in my area two years ago until they upgraded. I would think it's the service. Try turning off VOLTE and LTE Cat 6 CA and turn on Data Roaming and see if that fixes it.

I was actually trying to help out on this issue, on another forum as well. One thing we discovered is that the settings for LTE Cat 6 CA are not on the L29 model.
Dumb question but you aren't using a metal case are you? Any aluminum case will degrade wifi and LTE to the point where it might switch over to HSPA+ due to poor LTE reception.

I have the L29 model. On T-Mobile, I was getting 3 mbps down and 1.6 mbps up. So I tweaked it around and enabled Data Roaming. Now I am getting 15 down and 9 up. Much more reasonable.
Recently had a similar issue. I copied over the apn from a tmobile device and that was the issue.
Try the 2 apn setup that should be default when you reset apn.

Any updates on this issue? I'm still getting extremely slow mobile data speeds.
I've just bought a V20 and noticed that it's a Taiwanese model (model LG-H990DS, with TWN firmware). The first two issues that I've noticed are:
- it won't connect to 4G (I'm on Plusnet Mobile, which uses the EE network). It will only connect to 2G according to the notification bar
- it won't connect to either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz wifi networks on my Asus RT-AC68U router (although it will connect to a Belkin access point that I have elsewhere in the house).
Are the above caused by basic hardware incompatibilities, or can they be resolved by a firmware update?

Hi
The H990DS should have no problem connecting EE network as it is The Global version and supports LTE bands 3,7 and 20 which are used in UK and EE uses 3 and 7. I have a Verizon V20 which I use on Virgin and it has no problem connecting as Virgin piggyback on EE as well.
It may be your firmware needs updating.

My current firmware is V10i-TWN-XX. Should I be looking for a different version? If so, what's the recommended way of obtaining and flashing it?
That is the most current version of the firmware.
Theoretically Oreo will be released in August, barring further delays.
Silly thoughts:
Which SIM card slot is the SIM in? 1 or 2? It can make a difference when using two SIM's - only one will get 4G/LTE while the other gets 2G.
Is the phone new, never previously been used?
Finally see the attached screenshot of the network settings under: Networks/More/Mobile Networks/Network Mode. If for some reason it got set to 2G that could be the problem.
Note: I'm only using 3G network access so that's why in the screenshot it only shows 3G (Notification bar) even though it's set to auto LTE.
As for the WiFi issues, mine seems to be a bit quirky in not always connecting to some routers, 99% is no problem then you can run into one that for what ever reason it refuses to connect. At the radio station I work at (part time) my V20 simply refuses to connect even though I have the password. Works fine with my tablet & Motorola phone but no go on the V20. Go figure.
Best of luck figuring it out.

Thanks for that. I have my SIM in the SIM1 slot, and my Preferred Network Mode is GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto, which I guess is correct. The phone is second-hand (bought from Music Magpie).
I have now managed to get 3G (with "H" displayed - HSPA presumably), but I haven't been able to get 4G anywhere that I've travelled in London so far.
In the last day it has also finally recognised my Asus router, so that's a big step forward.
Hey i have an lg v20 h990n as far as can tell from reading specs its got the same frequencies and bands mine works totally fine with ee o2 and vodafone its suppose to work with three ... it also works with my tp link vr600v2 works fine with 5ghz and 2.4ghz also my sisters and partners carrier supplied routers i might suggest that you received a defective one id return it if you cant get it sorted music magpie charge loads too for this phone
Hi everyone. I have a Leeco Pro 3 X727. I am on Firmware 20s I am having issues to get 4G/LTE signal.
First thing, In my City there is 4G signal, even a couple a days ago I went to my carrier and change my Sim for the newset, just in case.
The last Rom where I had LTE signal IICR was AEX5.4 around May's days. After I changed to CDroid, then to DotsOS... Whatever all I can get its H+ signal. Couple a days ago I change to Carbon Rom 6.1 (Oreos) and the first install, in the configuration I get LTE, but after change to Wifi for finish install all apps, I cant get LTE again. I flashed back Dots, Cdroid and I am now and AEX5.7 and I I have the same issue, just 3G/H+, not LTE or 4G. Also, after flashing firmware 20S I get LTE signal for a While so I think that is not the problem...
I tried almost all APN setting and Nothing. Chang Rom, change Recovery, change Kernel... Nothing just 3g/H+.... My friends with same Carrier have LTE signal...
So, is there anything I can do...? Flash any app, setting?
Help please.

Only use the X7272 5.8.20s firmware - Then you should be able to get it with the correct APN and setting
Don't choose Global, you want the LTE/GSM/UMTS/CDMA setting. If you are still having issues, use the program LTE Discovery or Network Guru.
There are Magsisk
What network are you trying to connect to? What country are you in?

Nothing. Still "Orange 3G" and conexión icon show H+.
Honestly, I'd say something is wrong with your phone or wrong with your cell towers. The only LTE Band that Orange/Altice supports in DR is B3 (sorta strange that there's only one band, but for a relatively small country I suppose it doesn't matter) and the LEX727 and LEX720 both have band 3, as well as the only GSM(3g)/UMTS(4g) bands that Orange/Altice supports (that being GSM:1800/1900 and UMTS B8 (900GSM)) At first my assumption was that Orange/Altice was a CDMA network, but as far as I can see, there are no CDMA networks in DR!
Edit: download the speedtest app, and see if you're getting the same speeds as a phone that shows it's connected to LTE. If you are, there's no issue besides the phone reporting the connection wrong. If you're slower, though...

Maybe the problem is Orange Altice. The 4G coverage its very new in my city. I al ready tested speed and its 3G 5mb/3mb
Thanks for answering!

Oh! I think I know the issue! When I looked at Orange's website (trying to find network specs, which strangely for a network that supports BYOD, they don't have listed, or at least I couldn't find it) I saw that they have subscribers pay for data, as is standard practice in the US (where I live). But the thing that caught my eye is that you also pay for speed.
So... Let me take a guess here. You pay either RD$1499 Or RD$1349 for their 5mbps unlimited plan?
Basically, my assumption is that if you're paying for one of their lower speed tiers, they put you on a 4g or 3g network to save LTE bandwidth for the people who pay more than you.
Tell me if any of this sounds familiar... I feel like I may've found your problem!

Mmmmm suspect ... actually I have an even lower plan, RD $ 580 (USD$12) and I only use the data when I buy additional packages ... Most times I use Wi-Fi and just use Data when I am not at home/job and the 3G its veeeery looooow speed... Thank bro, that could be the problem.
