[GUIDE] [General] How to make LTE faster and fixes all your problems! Aug 4, 2014

bestlands , Aug 4, 2014 :

This POST IS MEANT FOR AT&T/T- Mobile USA OR INTERNATIONAL USERS WHO ARE HAVING PROBLEMS GETTING LTE ON THEIR DEVICE!!

Do not use APN's down below if you are on SUBSIDIARY of ATT/T-mobile (ie. StraightTalk, Net 10, MetroPCS, Cricket Wireless)!!
(PM me and I will give them to you or use this link http://www.unlockit.co.nz/mobilesettings/ to find them yourselves) Find the correct apn for your carrier and the location your are in, THEN USE THIS TUTORIAL!! You can try it on other carriers but I am not responsible if you loose connectivity issues or have no internet.

If you need APN settings for other carriers, PM ME!!

Steps for OnePlus 2, OnePlus One, and potentially international phones:
1. The OnePlus One and 2 IMEI is supported by AT&T so give them a call and tell them to enter the IMEI.
2. Insert your Sim Card into the phone, wait for it to connect to your provider.
3. Input the APN Settings into Setting/More/Cellular Networks/Access Point Names
4. Once you see your carrier in the notification bar, follow these steps:
Go to the phone dial, type in *#*#4636#*#* and a tab should pop up. Click phone information and scroll down. Click and change the preferred network to LTE/GSM auto (PRL) then click home.
5. Go back to Settings/More/Cellular Networks/and click on Preferred network type and select LTE.
YOUR status bar should say LTE on the notification bar now and your SPEEDS should be twice as fast.
Pictures included!!

Note: In my pictures, I have the setting as LTE/GSM/CDMA, this is an error please use the correct setting above. (It should be LTE/GSM auto (PRL))

For AT&T users: Both the OnePlus One and OnePlus 2 detects APN of your carrier once you put the sim into the phone. If it doesn't you have to input it and the settings you need to input are below. If you have a bunch of APN settings in Access Point Names then I recommend to select ATT Phone as it is the fastest in my testing!! If the APN 'ATT Phone' was an option already present when opening the menu in 'Access Point Names', then you DO Not need to enter the below setting.

PS: OnePlus One and OnePlus 2 imei is now approved by att. They will give you LTE speeds!! (I heard OnePlus imei isnt in T-mobile database) Correct me if I'm wrong!!

Note: Coming from a non LTE branded phone, IE. iPhone 4/4S, Nexus 4, international phone. Go to AT&T Store and request them to update your plan and sim to an LTE one. Depending on your phone, it will either need to be a micro-sim or a nano-sim. (OnePlus One = Micro-sim, OnePlus 2 = Nano-sim)

HOW TO SAVE THE PREFERRED NETWORK SETTING YOU CHOSE!! On the phone information click in the right upper hand corner on the three dots.Then click on select radio band and choose your country's band either European or American. (In the OnePlus 2 case, its USA Band) (Sometimes selecting automatic can save your preferred setting even after a reboot!) Also make sure your WiFi is off and that you are on LTE! If it doesnt stick keep trying until it does!! Thanks to @Derfus

PS: LOOK AT THIS WEBSITE FOR APNS http://www.unlockit.co.nz/mobilesettings/ OR PM ME!!

EDIT: FASTEST LTE Speed I HAVE SEEN ON AT&T IN LA!!


Edit: Many people have been requesting to put the StraightTalk APN Settings and I have decided to put them in this thread.

So you will need to find out what SIM card you activated Straight Talk with (T-Mobile or AT&T)
Personal Preference: I would choose AT&T as it covers more coverage nationwide.
Go to this link scroll to 1:20 and watch the the very few seconds.
Once you figured out what sim you activated or going to activate the OnePlus phone.
Put in these APNs!!
