Is TX 4G LTE phone?

[heyu516]

I just got a new TX and new 4G micro sim card, and I am T mobile user. When I doing my network search, I only can get either 3G or 2G, as matter of fact, majority of time is 2G.  Before I got TX, I have check the spec and T-Mobile, it does support GSM/UMTS HSPA+, but when I try to set up Network mode, I only can find out WCDMA and GSM. Please help!!!

no, the Xperia TL it is 4G LTE capable, remember that some carriers advertise H+ as 4G

Just wonder why I only can get 2G (edge) for network, and when I searching for provide, I only can chose either  T mobile 2G or T mobile 3G, but majority of time, I only can connect 2G.  Do you think I need to go to check my sim card again?

it might be the SIM card acting up or Tmobile's 3G coverage might be poor in your area, or the APN settings might be wrong.

Got it, I think I will go to T Mobile store in the morning and check the sim card, becasue base on your suggestion, I check the T Mobile map, it shows I am in the very strong 4G and 3G area. I really appreciate your help. Thanks!
