I know many of us use our smartphones as data-only devices with the various VOIP services. The developer edition of HTC One comes as a GSM only device, but Verizon uses CDMA for their Voice/3G. I'm looking to confirm whether or not it would work if I stuck one of Verizon's 4G SIM cards onto this phone and used it as a data only device? This way I can use Google Voice for my few voice and messaging needs.

Please excuse my rookie status here but I have been searching for a direct answer to my question about dual usage of CDMA and GSM on the Imagio.
My reason for this post is that I am a data plan junkie. I had one for seven years with my company until the economy forced them to require me to join a corporate cell plan. I tried to deal without data but ended up with withdraw and WIFI search syndrome (Nokia e71). This eventually led me to purchase a new phone with data to use as my 'personal' phone. I want to combine the two phones somehowa and stop swithing from networks on the nights, weekends.
I used this forum to unlock my phone and insert my work (at&t) sim card in the Imagio. This works great except that I still have to switch between carriers manually. My vzw number is new so I just want to use vzw for data and keep the at&t work number for voice. I figure this should be possible since AT&T claims simultaneous voice and data and I just want data from VZW. If it is a hardware issue then I understand, otherwise there should be a software solution and with all the great people on here, someone must be thinking about this dilemna.
Sorry for the long explanation. I just need one technology for data (CDMA) while using another (GSM) for my calls, not two numbers on the same phone simultaneously.
I have a question i just got my phone an it rooted first i need to known where is the folder for the bookmarks on the stock browser also where is the folder that has all the ringtones on the phone and where is the folder for the apk files that you download from like the market and ia there any othwr way to unlock your phone other them talking to verzion so you can usw your phone on any network or use any sim card
Your phone is cdma/lte. You cannot unlock it to use sim cards from gsm networks as it lacks a gsm radio. Likewise, you cannot use it on other lte networks as not all "flavors" of lte are the same (ie, different frequencies). At best, you would only be able to use it as a 3G phone on a cdma Carrier such as cricket and even then its functionality would be limited.
The big CDMA boys (i.e. Sprint and Verizon) will not let you move their phones between each other. Sprint will absolutely not allow you to activate a Bionic on their network without you doing illegal stuff. And it wouldn't work anyway because Verizon's 4G phones require a SIM for texts and calls. This SIM is not like the GSM SIMs on AT&T and T-Mobile. The Bionic is locked to Verizon.
You can search for the other stuff. I believe ringtones are in /system/media.
Hi,
Hopefully someone can help here - I'm assuming its an isolated situation since no one at Verizon (US) or M1 (Singapore) can help me with. I have a HTC One (Verizon) that works perfectly in the states. I am overseas for a few months and confirmed with VZ Global Services that the phone is pre-unlocked so any local carrier will work.
I chose M1...everything on the phone works great, calling / SMS / Internet / Data...etc. However I am given this error anytime I try and turn on the Mobile Hotspot or USB Tethering:
"None VZW UICC present
A Verizon Wireless LTE SIM card is not detected. Mobile Hotspot/Mobile broadband Connect service needs a Verizon SIM card in order to work."
note:: Hotspot works perfectly in the states....
I've spent a lot of time on with VZ Global Services and at the M1 store here. VZ was not helpful, as soon as I admitted to using a SIM that was not theirs, they stopped all support. At M1 store we tried a variety of SIM cards; prepaid, postpaid...etc. None of them fixed the problem. Only suggestion left is to call HTC. So thats why I posted this in the general HTC rather than Verizon specific.
If anyone has any idea how to go about troubleshooting this it would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I should add - the phone is stock, not Rooted, APN changed to sunsurf (which is what M1 uses).
I am having the exatct same issue right now. I am in India and I have a prepaid SIM card from Idea and when I try and use the mobile hotspot I get the same error.
When activating the Hotspot function the device does an entitlement check against Verizon's server. Without a Verizon Sim it will automatically fail and not allow hotspot usage. Only way around it is rooting and removing the entitlement check or using a custom non-verizon rom.
i belong to India, i have htc one max,and i have also facing same problem,please tell me any solution if possible
Is there a rom that includes a CDMA subscription which you get to select NV or RUIM? I have an unlocked/S-off HTC one sprint version. I have unlocked the phone for both GSM/CDMA, it's capable of supporting SIM/UIM card with HTC's Sense on top.(Unfortunately UIM/CDMA SIM card only works with Sense 5 on top of 4.1.2) I use Sprint/T-Mobile in the states, I can plug in TMo SIM and it works just fine with somewhat slower data speed. But I travel a lot to countries where they use CDMA with UIM card(it's like SIM for CDMA carriers), I can't get the phone to get any signal with any Kitkat rom expect for Sense 5 which has a hidden menu for u to choose CDMA subscription. Is this a phone issue with 4.4 kitkat? I'd love to see the CDMA subscription in the preferred network settings just like CM11 in HTC droid incredible 4G LTE(fireball) and unified version of S3. Since the sprint HTC one is indeed a global phone, I'd really sweet to see all possible network types along with a CDMA subscription option under Mobile Network Settings. Thanks in advance!
which one to use at any particular time?
Just voice on Verizon - no SIM.

Looks like there are 100 other people who are just like me - don't know.
It looks like this would be possible with just a switch of APN's and checking a choice under "networks" or possibly it would auto choose the APN based on networks choice. But in practical application would it work?
I know i have switched b/w AT&T, T-Mobile, and VZW and it would recognize the network. Only network that wouldn't work for me was Sprint.
Verizon LTE phones require a Verizon SIM to work with both its CDMA network and its LTE network. If a Verizon SIM is not present in one of these devices, it won't work with either Verizon's CDMA network or its LTE network.

Yes, my question though is, for voice only on Verizon - without SIM just CDMA activation - Can a person have both and switch easily between them by activating the 3g data - voice via phone identification no SIM required with Verizon (pageplus) and a SIM for at&t (straighttalk or redpocket).

Ah, interesting. I hadn't thought about using a CDMA MVNO on Verizon. I know that if you are just using Verizon, CDMA activation without SIM won't work because Verizon is using the SIM to authenticate to its CDMA network on LTE-enabled phones. But for Page Plus, you may be able to manually program the CDMA activation without using a SIM? Have you manually programmed CDMA phones to work on Page Plus in the past, and if so, how does it work?

Yes, I have a Moto-G activated on pageplus. I called them up, gave the ph ID then called a Verizon activation number. Worked well.
My problem is I am on the edge where Verizon works a bit better (have to walk outside and find a reception area) at my home with AT&T not picking up except occasionally. If I had the cheap pageplus plan for Verizon (not LTE) and Redpocket or straighttalk activated on AT&T it would give me a bit of flexibility if I could do it on one phone.
I just don't know if it will work. Perhaps the Nexus 6 being a LTE device won't activate on pageplus as a 3g device.
I may just activate an AT&T MVNO SIM on data and just use hangouts and hangouts dialer. Use wi-fi at home and data SIM when about. Redpocket has a T-mobile 1 GB plan for $10/month; haven't yet tried Tmobile reception. I live in a cellular black hole.
