Hello, I am doing this for a family member and need help with this...I got the talk and text done and working but no data...Has anyone achived to get atleast a 1x out of the D4? If so can you tell me what im doing wrong? i'm not a noob at this...I have done the EVO 4G and various other phones w/talk/text/web all working... But cant get the web working at all with the D4...Thanks in advance.
Im not sure what changes are made to 4g phones so they can work with Pageplus.
I wonder if Beigephone.com can flash it for u.
Yeah I got it running on page plus but can't figure out the data,switched sim to 3g and disabled LTE detection aswell

Do you have the lte sim installed I flashed one to ntelos and 3g wouldn't work without the sim card

Anyone got a write up on how to flash These? I was able to flash me OG DROID to cricket but I don't know how to do these 4G phones
Sent from my ICS flavored DROID4
I was under the impression that the Verizon LTE phones had their CDMA authentication modified to use the SIM card for authentication as opposed to the IMEI as in non LTE phones. They also modified their 3G network to use SIM based authentication for 3G data as opposed to IMEI. If this is true it would prevent you from accessing the 3G CDMA based data network because the phone would be passing SIM based authentication for data and the network was expecting IMEI based authentication. In theory you could flash a different radio firmware if you can find it to correct this... but currently as Verizon is the only carrier of this phone I do not believe there are any alternative radio firmwares available. Community....please correct me if i am wrong but this is my understanding.

You can use QPST to set it to NV only.
You can attempt to use QPST, however it would not accept the change. I did it using cdma workshop 2.7

the droid razr and droid 4 are basicly exactly the same phone. I used the info in this post (and the links in post #5) to switch my droid 4 over to pageplus. I have had 3g data, MMS and talk all working fine for a couple months now.

Need Help
Is everything the same on the Droid 4? I'll pay somebody to do it for me! I'll pay to ship the phone or whatever. I never have too great of luck with the CDMA Workshop or QPST. I DO know how to access the User activation and everything on the phone with the ##PROGRAM then press send and put in the 000000. Any help would be greatly appreciated from anybody. I just got my Droid 4 in the mail today and called Page Plus to activate only to have them tell me LTE couldnt be flashed to Page Plus. What if I called them and used the IMEI and dropped off the last number? Would that work if I just called them and gave them that? HELP! LOL!

No offense but why do people want to take nice phones and gimp them on MetroPCS? The service is garbage. If you want prepaid, then get it flashed to PagePlus if anything (many times you don't even need to flash anything, it will just work after activating and programming OTA). There are a couple decent phones on Metro (LG Connect or LG Esteem, namely), it's easier (and probably cheaper) than getting a Verizon phone finally working on their network properly.

Well from previously working for MetroPCS, i can honesty say there are some area other carriers don't have any service in that metro does because they have their own towers, and if there in MetroPCS 3g coverage then i don't see how they would "gimp" there phone plus if they wanna pay 1/3 of there monthly price on Verizon i don't see why not..
An alternative people could use is unlocking there bionic and use a prepaid gsm carrier like simple mobile.

Simple Mobile is also pretty terrible (I am a Simple Mobile dealer myself). Does Metro even actually have 3G? I remember when their 4G LTE started (which from my testing is slower than Sprint's 3G coverage), they only had 1x and 4G, but no 3G.

Did you insert a T-Mobile or AT&T SIM? You need a SIM card for the carrier you want.

yes i currently have a Aio Wireless sim in the phone (with is a At&t Mvno) but no luck i also have a active tmobile line and no signal in either sim cards both are currently connected still no signal. i did change the nv items with radiocomm but just no luck i believe it is because of my bionic being hardware c not A

I am not that familiar with the bionic on gsm carriers but did you go into Phone Info in the test menu (*#*#4636#*#*) and enable Global or GSM/WCDMA modes? Have to do that many phones that are not officially Global phones.

I bought a htc one on ebay and I was able to activate the phone no problem and it works but im having a few issues. The biggest issue is that the phone network operator name is HTC and not sprint. So when you are at your lock screen it says htc at the top instead of sprint. Then I noticed that under mobile network settings I don't have roaming control or data guard or any of those settings....they simply are not there. I'm guessing I don't see those options because of the network operator name is htc and not sprint. Ive done a factory reset and no go....did the whole prl and profile updates.
Is this phone unlocked maybe? It has a sprint sim card. Anyone have any clue as to what is going on?
It sounds like it maybe a unlocked HTC One I'm not sure to be honest with you, does it register Sprints LTE network?

Yea it registers on the 4g LTE network. Again the biggest problem is that I have no options for roaming, data guard, international roaming etc

I bought a sprint htc one anfter a lot of tampering/ softbricking i finally got the bootloader unlocked the Bad Boys rom installed and achieved S-off
using the fire water method
i am on 4.4.2 on a network called digicel everything works fine with one exception NO 4G very disappointing ive unlocked GS4 for sprint for use on the network called Digicel and it worked so im curious if anyone knows of anyway for me to get said 4G on sprint htc one ive done enough research the sprint htc one does have the required basebands to support 4G but as of now all it display's is gsm
Ay help is kindly appreciated also if there is another thread with the same question posted i apologize for asking again, didnt come across any answers in my search. Thanks in advance
I'm going to be doing something similar soon when I go to Jamaica (Sprint is unlocking for international SIM use for me) so hope I can help...did you make sure you have a 4g plan from digicel?...if I remember correctly, they have a seperate plan that had seperate 4g charge incorporated...correct if I'm wrong...maybe you need to add 4g to your plan?

i thought of that also but when i unlocked the samsung galaxy s4 previously i didnt need to activate 4G once i put the sim in i would pick up the 4G one i was in a good coverage area, digicel's 4G service is kinda spotty im in antigua, if i go to the town or on a hill id get 4G in most places, i dont believe that im even getting 3G on the htc one as it only says gsm :/

First make sure your APN settings match your carrier. Second make sure in network settings make sure you have chosen CDMA/LTE. Sprint always shows that stupid GSM sign when using it on a GSM network outside US. Do this with a file explorer go to /ststem/customize/AAC/default.xml change sku_id to 42 and reboot
The phone will show the correct sign 3G, H, etc

i finally got the file edited, now it shows an E i will try a sim i know has 4G and post an update thank for the help
it would really help to know if this worked for you as im thinking of buying a sprint htc one since they are cheaper to use in jamaica on that same digicel. so its great to know that it works would be better to know if the 4g works or atleast if the network data speed is good since im a wifi kinda guy
sprint galaxy S4 has 4g 1700/2100mhz for gsm networks but sprint htc one has no 4g for gsm networks , so 4g will not work.
I have a verizon note 3 sm-n900v that I want to use on AT&T. I have rooted it and accessed the service mode screen and enabled b4. I have set up the APN and I am able to send and receive texts and make and receive calls. My data works, but it is on H and H+. I can not get on LTE or send MMS messages....can someone please help me?!
I have read that AT&T runs on a different LTE band, so I am just checking to see if this is true and also ask that if I pay for a factory unlock if it will fix it so that it operates the way it is supposed to.
Thanks

Well Verizon is CDMA where att is GSM, totally different and not sure it is even possible.. Odd that you can even see it.. this is probably your issue. Only other provider I think you can fully work on is sprint (and other mini ones that are CDMA)

actually tmobile works fine on it. You can switch the APN to gsm and it works just fine. The verizon note 3 is the only one that came factory unlocked to run on any network...you just need to tweak the settings.

I know tmobile works fine as it is GSM, but never heard of Verizon or sprint working. Think last i seen those 2 didn't use a sim card like att which could lead to other issues as well
