Hello,
I just bought an LG G2 Verizon, software version VS9803AA and Android 5.0.2 from USA. I'm living in Romania, East Europe and using the phone on Vodafone. The phone gets full signal from the network, but no data. I've tried all settings, new APN and everything, but no succes. Still no data.
Near the signal bars appears an H symboll, but nothing under it and when I open Chrome, it tells me I am offline. Wireless works great.
Can anyone help me with a suggestion ?
Maybe if I root it and change the software, the problem will dissapear ?
The problem is that I don't know how to root and flash another ROM on it.
Thanks,
Mihai

Hi all, great forum, I've learned quite a bit from just reading all the threads but I have a headscratcher I couldn't find anything on and hopefully someone can answer this as I'm losing my mind trying to figure it out.
I have a Telus Milestone which works perfectly fine with CM7 RC12 on the Telus network in Canada. Every time I travel to Europe or other places it just won't connect to the local network, just emergency calls.
I tried every single baseband in AOR 3.3 but nothing works. I also tried different roms (Cronos X 1.5, FroyoMOD 2.9.1, wiping phone, factory reset, etc.
Even tried the Moto Defy baseband switcher with no luck. AFAIK this phone is capable of 850/1900/2100 bands.
Really appreciate any help!!!
Well, according to this - http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php/1641030-Does-the-Telus-Milestone-support-2100MHz-3G - Telus Milestone should support European frequencies, but not 2g and it have same hw like MM for Europe.
Some time ago I was a TelusLite rom for Milestone user and it was working well with 2g and 3g after change to Germany baseband (in Poland). Without baseband change it was only working on 3g.
Maybe you need to flash some European-compatible rom (eg. FroyoMod/CM7) and then try?
Thanks for the quick reply.
I tried changing to Germany baseband which should work but it doesn't. In my case I'm trying to connect to Orange Romania which uses 900/1900/2100.
I did try FroyoMod which is Italian if I'm not mistaken, it was developed by 89luca89. Also tried different flavours of CM and Cronos.
It almost seems as if I have to unlock first or maybe Telus is blocking my account from roaming... is that even possible?
I've ordered an unlock code from cellunlocker.net, hopefully after unlocking I can use a local SIM and see if it connects.
Thanks for the help!
Hm. It is strange that it doesn't working on every rom.
Maybe Telus don't have an agreement for roaming with Orange Romania? I think that it is a problem with one of the cell operators, not with your phone.
Good luck with local SIM
Yeah, strange indeed.
I doubt it is Orange RO as I tried it in Paris, France last week and it wouldn't connect to any network there either, Orange, SFR, etc. A couple of months ago I couldn't connect to Cubacel either. I just figured the commies don't like Canadian smartphones. LOL
I have a feeling Telus has my account locked from roaming. I'm praying the local SIM will work.
Thanks again!
Well, just as I suspected, Telus must have the SIM locked from roaming. The unlock code from cellunlocker.net worked like a charm. Phone connects to local Orange RO network, full 3G data connectivity too.
It's good news I'm happy that you managed it to work.
Looks like Telus don't want you to use other operators. But there is no impossible things
Heya.

LTE will not work in Europe because in the USA, they are using different frequencies (Droid 4 is made for Verizon Wireless in USA only). So far, I haven't heard about any hack that can make it work.
3G should work fine.

Probably you are missing the "Patch to fully enable GSM on Verizon CDMA phones with Android"
http://www.internauta37.altervista.org/how-and-patch-fully-enable-gsm-verizon-cdma-phones-android
LTE will not wok but GSM and 3G should be fine with the patch in Europe.
I also have a droid 4 xt894 phone using it in India, i have flashed the Patch to enable gsm from cdma, everything is working just fine but I'm not Able to use my 3g services. It remains on for about five minutes and then the Network Notifier goes blank, shows no sim card again the Network comes but no 3g! Trying to fix this but can't find a way, Please help
I'm using the phone in Europe with all feutures. Just install CM. The gsm patch helps but phone can work also wihtout it - calls, sms, data. With patch the phone is connecting faster to mobile network.
Hi,
I have a major issue with my HTC One, I cannot connect to the O2 network. I have had this problem since I returned from South Africa to the UK. I unlocked the SIM when over there to use a SA sim and then when I got back I could not use voice or text only data on the O2 network.
I searched for a while to see if I could fix the problem but to no avail. So I decided to install the Google Play Edition to the phone (via fastboot), now this is complete with OTA updates and this is now to 4.4 KitKat.
I am not sure what is the issue with it as it will not connect to voice, sms or data now. Could it be the radio? I have changed the setting from LTE to 3G as I dont have LTE (4G).
At the moment the phone is only good as a substitute device when on WIFI...... Help... :crying: :crying:
Hello, i've been searching in the entire internet how to resolve my problem with my phone Lg L90 D415.. i have a problem connecting my phone to 3G or 4G network when i connect my phone lost the signal and is not working either with 3G or 4G i've try installing the stock rom kit kat 4.4.4 and nothing happens and when i dial the code 3845#*415# and try to change to Lte only a message box appear " FAIL" Lte Band Selection appears the same...

My S6 Edge SM-G925V worked perfectly back in India on Vodafone Band 3 LTE until marshmallow update. In the Nougat update verizon/samsung has some issue with their cellular firmware - after that i am never able to camp to any LTE network.
It was running smooth until the G925VVZW4CPD2 (6.0.1) update, all settings are ok. I tried the other popular network sim of JIO ( Band 40) that also is same. Bigger problem is that the modem crashes far too many times on the 2g/3G also. I can see the networks bar go and come in a loop again and again, making phone useless.
Verizon surely has messed something up with the latest 7.0 update, which they deny (have contacted them). There are couple of forums in Sammobile on the same. No luck with solution.
Just yesterday got one more update of 2GB which brings it to one update over 7.0. No luck. Still no LTE camping.
Do not suggest to check the APN settings i have checked they good. Anythings else or you also facing same issue ?
Can anyone show how to get the blocked service menu (via codes) working ?
Got the same problem. I immediately updated my phone from Marshmallow to Nougat via system settings.
I got the S6 Edge Verizon. Made several readings and found out that the device is unlocked, so I bought a local LTE SIM card (SMART) here in the Philippines and inserted it to the device. I applied the appropriate APN settings for the LTE and tested the connection. No luck. I wasn't able to test the LTE connectivity when I was in Marshmallow though.
I was able to connect to the internet via 3G connection and IT WAS WAAAY TO SLOW (0.5 mbps)
I tested the same settings with the Galaxy S5 (Verizon), still with a local LTE SIM card (SMART). LTE connection was immediately established (15+ mbps... not bad). This proves that my area is covered by LTE and the problem is on the S6 Edge. Is there a way to fix this?

I have the same problem, since the update I can't connect to LTE, I've tried forcing the 4g/lte network but it simply wont connect.
so no answer to this yet huh? issue with wifes phone so i cant call her during the day but text are still getting through thank god!
I installed the new update via the smartswitch. Sw ver: NRD90M.G925VVRU4DQF3
This also did not solve the LTE camping issue on international roaming as stated in original thread, infact the modem crashes so often on 2G/3G also (GSM/UMTS)
Anyone here from verizon/samsung who can pass on the message to relevant folks that there is a major issue which they have not addressed. I am surprised such a common bug was not tested before releasing offical binary for update !! #shame.
Any updates?

Any updates on a solution for this? I finally got around to updating my G925V OTA with Verizon, and I've run into the same issue. I hope I don't have to roll back the update manually but I guess I might have to because I have searched for a solution everywhere and have tried everything but nothing works.
Exact same issue, modem crashes constantly (I'll have signal on H/H+ only, and then it drops. Signal comes back. Then drops), and I never get LTE.
Tried all the obvious solutions (e.g. reboot, factory reset, network reset, clear cache partition, boot into safe mode, reprovisioning from carrier, confiming IMEI with carrier etc.) but nothing works.
What did you guys figure out?
