Just bought an unlocked N6, and I put in my VZW sim card, it activated properly and everything appears to be working except one small odd thing.
It defaults into 3G when I turn it on,
I have to *#*#4636*#*# and select LTE only and then it will switch to 4G/LTE and I am fine.
Anyone else exp this when bringing N6 to VZW?
Thanks in advanced.

I carrier unlocked my Galaxy S 5 and wanted to know if it would work on Verizon's network.
It might work on Wcdma, & Lte. Maybe other chime in.

I'd like to know as well.
Because I'm switching and my S5 is carrier unlocked.
When I put my VZW SIM (which works fine in an iphone 6) in the phone there is no indication of a problem, i.e. wrong sim, etc.
However the signal icon is generic and if I try to place a call it gives me that dreaded not registered on network pop up.
If I look in the properties on the phone the (VZW) number is displayed but it does not show as activated on network.
So my question is does the S5 (actually purchased at a Best Buy store as MetroPCS and unlocked to use on ATT) have the proper modem to work with VZW? If not I will need to sell it.
Interestingly enough I put the ATT SIM in the (VZW) iphone and it worked instantly. Placed calls, send SMS, and get LTE speeds with nothing to change whatsoever!
Here's a fairly good read on network bands and compatibility between carriers....
It should help.....g

Has anybody tried to get a Verizon MotoX 2014 to work on TMobile?
I was in a store today and got an activated sim card to test in mine and nothing we did made it able to get ANY data at all.
I want to move to TMo eventually but I really don't want to buy a new phone.
Did you enable data roaming? I have a pure edition and data roaming has to be enabled to work with T-mobile. Probably the same with the Verizon variant.

Yes, it works. I had one and had 4g and LTE, sms/MMS, and tethering to work. BUTTTT, it's not ideal as it's missing one of the frequencies for either 4g or LTE (I forgot), so the signal is weaker than a Pure edition on t-mo.
You need to add all the proper APN information. You can find that if you search for "t-mobile apn"
We all know the Nexus 6 supports CDMA, and I have read posts all over from people saying it works on Verizon, even when it came from T-Mobile. However, what's happening for me is this...
I bought a Nexus 6 from T-Mobile. It works there. It works with Cricket. I have a Verizon SIM that is activated and works inside a Note 3 (with an adapter). However, when I put this same SIM into the Nexus 6, I get no bars and text that says Emergency Calls Only. Anyone know what's wrong?
Thanks much in advance.
Factory reset should fix that

Could it be that the IMEI is not white listed on the VZW network?
I have an ATT nexus 6 that would not register but I then purchased one from Motorola and that one has worked with no problem.
I thought it was because the ATT one was not white listed into the VZW system but the direct from motorola was. Not sure.
This is a known issue when switching from a GSM network to Verizon.
I thought that about the IMEI, but then how could it be working for others that bought from T-Mobile?
As for it being a shown issue when switching from GSM to Verizon...what would the fix be? I know there are a lot of people doing it. I just need get it going or know the trick to it, and then it should be smooth sailing.
Do a factory reset to fix.

agreed...i had same issue. phone works just fine now
I can also attest to this. The activation worked fine once it was trying to set it up from the beginning
Something you can do to evade the factory reset If you have the problem of "switching from global mode while on a GSM carrier" and then switching to a cdma carrier (Verizon) you first need a way to access "Radio Info" I'm using an app called Activity Launcher App for that Go to All Activities/Settings/Phone Info ... I noticed when you change from global on a gsm carrier it switches to LTE/GSM auto (PRL) ... you can switch it back to the default LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) but when you reboot it won’t stick so after you reboot with a verizon sim switch it back again to LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) then got to Cellular networks/Preferred network type and select Global .... then the phone will reconnect to verizon ... give it a bit and then reboot again and you should be good.

I put my girl's nano sim from her iphone 5, and her friend's from her iphone 5s, both worked no problem.

have you tried *#*#4636#*#* and changing the preferred network under phone information to lte/cdma?
I tried the *#*#4636#*#*, but it didn't help. So, I backed up and did the reset, which indeed seems to have worked. Wow. Thanks for the feedback all.
I've had my N6 since they first came out, used it on Verizon without any issue. However, where I'm working now doesn't have Verizon service so I bought a prepaid at&t simcard for while I'm here. Everything worked fine at first to switch between them, throw in the Sim card, switch it to global, everything good. Now however, I don't have the same options, under cellular networks I only have "LTE/3g/2g"... Where before I had " LTE/3g/1x/Global". I've tried to set the option through the testing menu, but it never sticks. I'm on stock rooted 5.0.1. I've tried 5.1, but always caused me issues (no audio, constantly rebooting) plus I like a functional xposed so I always revert back. Any one know how to fix this?

lte/3G/1x/global are verizon only, LTE/3G/2G are att options. its according to your sim card.
But even with my Verizon Sim, I was stock with those options

if you put your verizon sim back in, a factory reset will be need to get the option back. but if you put in your att sim, the att options will come back.
Wi-Fi calling is no longer working on my 4XL. I have Verizon on an unlocked 4XL.
The options are completely missing. I've spent over 4 hours on the phone with Verizon tier 2 tech support and gotten nowhere. They insist that Wi-Fi calling is active on my account/line and that its an issue on my phone.
I should mention I have a dual SIM setup running both Verizon and T-Mobile, T-Mobile is an eSIM. That said BOTH worked fine until I popped my Verizon SIM into a Verizon Mi-Fi and the SIM from the Mi-FI into my 4XL.
Verizon said they could see the two units reprovisioned but as far as Wi-Fi calling on the 4XL, it's active and SHOULD work but its almost like the Verizon software is blocking it the settings from even showing. I have NO options for Wi-Fi calling under the phone settings anywhere, they are gone but I do still see them for the T-Mobile eSim.
I remember back in the day Verizon blocked Wi-Fi calling on Pixel devices that were unlocked and or not Verizon branded. There was a command-line you could run to "unhide" the settings and turn them on.
Does anyone have anything like this for the 4XL? Verizon said I may need to completely factory wipe my 4XL but I have it setup perfectly, I really do not want to do that if possible.
Thanks!
I use 2 SIMs as well. My T-Mobile account is ESIM and my Visible is physical sim. I have no issues with WiFi calling on both. I attached a screenshot, do you see the same menus as me? Also, is your Google pixel the Google store variant or a carrier?
Here is my TMobile settings.
