[Q] Can Lumia 928 be used overseas ?

Hello all- I have not found a definitive answer so will post my question here as well. I have a chance to get a Lumia 928 (Verizon) but would like to know if I can use it in New Zealand with my Vodafone SIM. I am not sure if there will be limitations such as maps, etc.. not working.
Cheers for any help, LL13- :victory:

LTE will not work in any country besides the US. Aside from that the 928 shouldn't have any issues with taking a different SIM, as all 928s are SIM unlocked when they shipped from the factory. Before you leave though, I highly recommend you download access point via sysapp pusher in the marketplace/store. Sysapp will check for any and all OEM apps that need updating.

The one warning I would give you with the 928 is that the APN settings are a little messed up, and you may need to play around with it a bit to get them to work. My experience (using the 928 on AT&T and T-Mobile in the US) is that you need to manually set the APN settings, even when Nokia Access Point says that the SIM settings are activated. You can usually get data fine, but MMS's don't work properly if you don't manually set the APN
If possible, avoid doing it with Nokia Access Point, because if you do you will lose the ability to use LTE when you get back on Verizon until you do a hard reset (you can't recover the appropriate Verizon LTE APN settings - it will only connect to CDMA 3g). Now that GDR2 is out, you can seemingly manually set the APN's in the Cellular menu of settings, so try using that first and if it fails, copy the correct APN settings into a new Access Point APN, then manually activate it. This has fixed my issue every time, but again, necessitated a hard reset / wipe of the phone to use on Verizon's LTE network.

Cheers for that information AR...
I can enter those settings manually, I've got them memorised :silly:
Cheers again, LL13- :good:

Wow very confusing topic, I mean the process of finding out whether data/mms will work outside of Verizon US, it seems it can not. Too bad as it's a beauty of a phone.

Its not that quite confusing.
LTE is only good for the country it was released in. The international LTE bandplan is different for every country, none of them match up. For using a CDMA carrier, switching to them will require a SIM (there isn't any way to flash the settings onto the phone yet for those providers who don't yet have LTE without it being official from Nokia) so its kinda a dead end.
If your going to a GSM provider, just insert your SIM and manually add the settings for data and mms. You can use Access Point if you don't intend on using Verizon's LTE.

That makes me a bit more comfortable, cheers for that information thals1992 !!
It seems that the main issue would be with the LTE which would not be a problem since I am not even sure what it is !! I believe it may have to do with 4G or fast download speeds but there is no 4G in my town anyway.
I saw one post on another forum saying that some 928's had no way to add/edit APN settings, etc...
Each post and person seems to have a different experience, but if I can simply get a 3G data connection and normal use I would be happy.
I may just go for it then.

When you travel abroad and use the phone on a GSM carrier you will get data up to HSPA+, unless the carrier happens to share Verizons LTE band. The issue with Verizon LTE after you have used another APN is that Access Point won't deactivate all the APN settings,and since Verizon doesn't have dedicated APN data settings, it doesn't override properly and connect toVZW LTE properly without a hard reset.
The 928 has a CDMA radio as well as a fully unlocked GSM radio

I have also experienced this loss of Verizon LTE after using the Nokia Access Point app and foreign SIM in Europe. Does anyone know if there is a way to get LTE back other then hard resetting the phone?

a hard reset is required as the access point app changes the LTE settings and can't change it back completely.

I can get dataconnection in sweden, and i can install the nokia app for changing APN, and i can change the APN manually too, but i cannot get MMS to work, nor in or out.

Try limiting the connection to 3G or 2G. T-Mobile users reported this as a workaround.

[Q] Incredible S 3G 850/1900

Hi! I hope you coul help me. I'm in Peru, Southamerica and I bought a HTC Incredible S in USA.
I can't connect the cellphone to 3g internet, only 2g. Checking the specificactions I see that:
3G Network HSDPA 900 / 2100
HSDPA 850 / 1900 - North America
I understood that in USA, you can use those bands, therefore,it should be the same in Peru because the cellphone company works in the same bands.
I read this threadhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=786144 and a user said that first versions of the cellphone have no those bands, but later versions have it.
Is there a way to know if my cellphone has this feature? Checking internet, I saw a code *#2263# to enter to a menu and change the band, is that true? I tried but I got an error... Well, I understand that the cellphone has the hardware feature, but there is not active, if I root, flash, or update the cellphone I could change that option? Thanks in advance for your answers!
PD. Sorry for my english!

No, you cannot change the radio frequencies by rooting.
You need to find out the modeled. In FASTBOOT USB mode, enter the following command:
fastboot getvar all
And post your results.

Hi, I'm sorry for not to answer before, but, I had lent the phone to a friend.
Is it ok that I use this thread as guide to make the fastboot? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277112

HSDPA (3G) 900 / 2100 - RM-914 (520)
HSDPA (3G) 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 - RM-917 (521)
Well, if your mobile operator not have 2100 MHz band, then you can't use.

[Q] Virgin Mobile HTC Desire 510 on GSM Networks

I got a Virgin Mobile HTC Desire 510 4G NoContract Cell Phone Black at Best Buy during Black Friday. If I manage to get it SIM unlocked will it work with GSM networks? Has anyone done this?
Thanks!

No. From the looks of it, the Virgin Mobile variant is a CDMA only device. So it doesn't have the hardware necessary for GSM functionality.

Buddy but htc 510 is global device ...?

Any progress on checking with gsm networks.

HTC Desire 510 Virgin USA
Hi there,
I wish to know if you could guide me through some alternative approach to unlock for HTC Desire 510 Virgin Mobile.
This is a no contract phone with Virigin Mobile USA.
I am sure it has the GSM Capabilities as well, when I looked at the usermanual, it has an option where I Can go to settings and change if only GSM or CDMA can be used.
I purchased an unlock code from another service provider online. Followed the steps. When I insert another sim card, it does not prompt me to enter the Unlock Code and the phone keeps saying Invalid Sim.
Would you guys be able to help.

Are there any other options on your phone?
On your phone, do you have any options other than: LTE/CDMA and CDMA ?
Thanks !

Yeah sprint htc 510 can be unlocked but not for domestic use it can be unlocked for international use..!

Can it run on a GSM (instead of CDMA) network?

Ok, thank you! I know it can be unlocked, both the SIM and the boot loader, but that was not my question. The question has to do with the network. On the settings shows LTE/CDMA and CDMA; for it to work on a GSM network it would have to say something like GSM 2G, GSM 3G, GSM 4G or something like that.

I have the same question about this phone, I bought it on Cyber Monday and an Amazon Customer Agent told me that is a GSM phone. On the phone you can type * # * # 4 6 3 6 # * # * and a menu will show and you can change between some options include GSM/GPRS/LTE/CDMA/WCDMA.
Currently I'm searching the way to unlock it to use any network but still without nothing :crying:
If you have any option to us we placed you!!

Virgin HTC Desire 510
Hi All,
I am in exactly the same situation. Bought the phone expecting to unlock but not able to. I bought an unlock code but of course there is no prompt for the code. In network options I only have CDMA/LTE or CDMA.
Has anyone succeeded in unlocking?
Thanks!

Hello everyone.
As i didnt want to open an new topic because i found this one.
I am from Greece and i got this phone as gift from my uncle., the phone is setup at CDMA network and does not have the GSM/WCDMA setting. when i get into the *#*#INFO#*#* i can see there that i can change the network type to GSM/WCDMA/LTE but i dont know how to save it. does anyone know any method to make this one work properly?

Unlock GSM Bands
You don't have to do anything to save it. I would bet that you can change it and if you wait a little while it reverts back to CDMA. I think it reverts back because the frequencies needed for GSM/WCDMA/LTE are locked. I would recommend http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...ad-progress-please-leave-im-updating-t2871269 and unlocking the following bands:
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 2100
4G Network LTE 800 / 1800 / 2600
After you do that, my guess is that it will accept GSM/WCDMA/LTE. Beware that I have not done this, but that's what makes sense to me. Let us know the outcome. Good luck!

i don't understand how to do it
can you take screenshot from the access point pleas

thx i will try it and feed you back
i hope that works as i tried every thing from sim unlock using NV to de-branding but nothing works

Hi I seem to encounter the same situation, cannot get data for sim unlocked GSM for Sprint HTC10...here's some background info. I have 2 HTC10 purchased about 1 year ago (Phone A & B). At time of purchase I performed the NV sim unlock and verified data (freedompop att) on both.
Phone A (BL unlocked/s-on/factory recovery) is on stock Sprint ROM and GSM data works perfectly by adding the custom APN settings. On latest build.
Phone B (BL unlocked/s-on/twrp) is main phone was shorty twrp when purchased, ran BadBoyz rom for about a year on Sprint. Recently added FP sim back in & it would "show" to HSPA via signalchecker but mobile data could NEVER connected (even w/apn settings). Same SIM would work on Phone A. Had Sprint push out sim unlock just to be safe which was done successfully, same issue. So i thought maybe something screw up and RUU back to latest and still had same problem. Factory & network resets didn't fix either.
Been reading on the forums and seems like other people have the same issue, the only solution that I've seen mention was to flash a custom rom (non-Sprint?). Anyways after flashing Leedroid, it did finally worked, had mobile data attached via apn.
Anyways any ideas from anyone why mobile data GSM will not work/attach on some sim unlocked phones? I believe I returned Phone B back to factory but it behaves differently from Phone A.
