Yes, but not immensely well. Search the Q&A forums-- this topic has come up a few times. The biggest problem IIRC is that you have to constantly search for your network if you get disconnected.

i would like to use my d4 on att but i always get the no signal bar. i am running olegfusion's stock gsm ICS rom on safesystem.
i dont know whats wrong with it. i have the settings set to gsm in the menu but i have also tried the global settings but none of them work. i called att earlier, thinking it was a problem on their end but they said everything should be working fine. ive also tried my friends att microsim card but still no service. any ideas?
as it was pointed in several threads, droid 4 doesn't work with gsm carriers of USA. My ROM is oriented to Abroad GSM

I got it to work on T-Mobile UK, apologies if this was misleading.

There were some old articles, working on T-mobile (US) EDGE.

The title says it all. I am moving to the Houston/Baytown area next month and will be switching from sprint to either of the two. I was wondering if anyone on here had some advice as to which one had the upper hand in 3G and LTE coverage. I've read that AT&T was fairly good in that area, but the data from the website was not too recent. Thanks in advance for any feedback!

thanks for the quick reply! I was seriously considering Straight Talk and may have to look into getting it now.

Great choice!
XDA is for discussion of mobile devices themselves, not cell carriers and their coverage. For that reason, moved to Off-topic.

Thanks for the correction. Sorry for the wrong section post and thanks for the relocation.
Hi
I'm planning to get the Z3C soon and have a few questions that I'm hoping some users with the device using tmobile could help me out with.
1. Does the SMH (wifi tethering) work on the phone? My current phone doesn't support it for some reason, and they say it's because my phone is unlocked and not from tmobile. It has the option, but just never starts.
2. How is the LTE speed? Faster/slower than what you had before? Or about the same.
3. How is the reception on the phone? I read about how the phone is displaying less bars even though the signal strength is good so I'm not worried about that.
4. Does wifi-calling work? I assuming not cause it's not from Tmobile, but I thought I would ask anyways since no one addressed it yet.
That's all I could think of that isn't already answered in one of the other threads.

Not AFAIK, if you find out how to get it to work please let me know!

Getting pretty decent sppeds. The icon shows as 4G, but it is LTE speeds.

No, WiFi calling will not work on any non T-Mobile branded phones. The WiFi Calling aspect is baked into t-mobiles ROMs. Non one has been able to get this to work, on any phone that is not T-Mobile branded, AFAIK. However, Hangouts and SIP calling works quite well.
Since the Z3 (non-compact) appears to be headed to TMO, will that ROM be able to be loaded onto the Z3 Compact to enable Wi-Fi calling? (I am assuming that the Z3 will be able to use Wi-Fi calling, since I think all smart phones sold by TMO now support it)
Still keeping my fingers crossed that the C is available from TMO also!

Possible ... but, I have no idea. It seems plausible ... but there are differences between the Z3 and Z3C that may not make it possible. Keep your fingers crossed, as I would like that as well.
thanks guys for the prompt replies :good:

I have one here in MA but I'm getting low signal strength. What are you guys getting for dbm/asu?
Just wondering if possible?

You should not need to, as all Verizon phones are already unlocked. You just won't get lte on other networks

I realized that once I popped in the sims, but weird thing yesterday I had 4g connection and today I don't after a reboot.

You just corroborated what I just said.
The fastest network speeds you will get are 3G HSPA+

I find it extroardinary you were able to even temporarily get a 4G signal.
That said, you could try changing your APN settings. Here is a link to an article explaining how.

I have wanted to get the ROG since the 2 came out. I'm on Verizon and don't plan on changing anytime soon.
Can the 3 work on the Verizon network? If it does, will it be limited in any way (service area, speed, bands, and so forth)? What has to be done to make it work?
Thank You for your help!

according to this:
https://www.kimovil.com/en/where-to-buy-asus-rog-phone-3-16gb-512gb-am
it should work only on 4G network only on Verizon network, no 5G or 3G which might be an issue for you .

Data only on 4g.
Has anyone been able to to try it?
I was hoping someone could say there experience with using it on Verizon's network?
It seems this reviewer tried it on Verizon: pcmag com /product-guides/137219/asus-rog-phone-3
We asked in the comments and I emailed him personally but he did not respond.
I think it working on 4g is a good bet. You would just have to root to be able to enable VoLTE and Wifi calling. Like they did for the ROG phone 2.

So did you see my post? Right above yours? I dont understand everyone's refusal to believe what is posted here. It gets 4g data only.

So, just to be sure that I understand you correctly. You are saying it will ONLY do data? No calls?
Could you also please give your reason, knowledge, or sources for the statement? Thank you in advance.
