[Q] CDMA Subscription

Hey guys, which mode should I be on, CM10.1, the only time 4G will work is when set on RUIM/SIM which I expected, but the other option is NV. When on NV only 3g connects but all else is fine.
Should I give Sprint a ring?
**Just to clarify, I am a bit confused as the One has a SIM card, and most other sprint phones use NV.

SIM controls 4G LTE. NV controls 3G. Calling sprint would be useless. When you tell them on CM10.1 they will tell you they can not help. If you lie then their support documents wont match up and the info the give you will be useless.

I am pretty sure this is due to a mismatch of my MEID and my IMEI. They are going to try to reset it, with manual programming....

[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.

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

Can't connect to Cellular Provider

Needing some help. Purchased an "unlocked" Nexus 6 from eBay. I had an error that said phone iccid compare with sim iccid error. I setup the correct APN and still got no service. I restarted the phone and that little Android notification is now gone but I still have no service.
When I go to Cellular Networks I can no longer have an option to search for cellular providers nor input an APN just Preferred Network Type and System Select.
Can anyone help!?

I am with a tiny local GSM carrier Union Wireless in Wyoming. I have generally just swapped SIM cards in and out of other phones before. I have never had to call and activate a phone before. I am coming from an unlocked HTC One M8.

@metaphz you may have to contact them. Unless someone else can offer a suggestion, I'm at a loss. I don't think the data dialer reset code will work on non Sprint phones or else I might suggest that.

I'm at a loss here too. I put in another GSM SIM card from Viaero Wireless in Nebraska and it worked for roaming. When I put in my Union SIM it takes away my APN options and acts like it is a CDMA SIM card.

LG G4 Sprint SIM / Network unlock

Has anyone been able to SIM / network unlock Sprint variant of LG G4? For international use? for domestic carriers?
The phone appears to be locked. I tried putting GSM micro SIM and putting phone in to GSM mode. Got an icon about invalid SIM in notification tray. But no prompt to unlock. Also no menu in settings to unlock via network like my note 3 had. Even worse, no menu to select GSM Network operator in the settings.

I know , that is the theory, I am curious if anybody actually tried it. I am concerned about the fact that I don't see a menu to select GSM network, which was there in Note 3
it almost looks like the phone can roam on GSM network using Sprint SIM, but all the menus that would allow presence of different SIM where removed.

Friend called Sprint and they unlocked his phone OTA. Now when non-sprint SIM is inserted it no longer complains about invalid SIM, however it will not connect to any networks in USA and still no way to see a list of networks or do a manual selection of network. That menu is still missing. I suspect the phone will now work outside of the USA in automatic network selection mode only, which may not be a good thing some times.

Doesn't matter what you try, you cannot use Sprint's phone on AT&T T-mobile here or any US GSM carriers. When sprint unlocks it for you, then you can use it outside of US on GSM Networks.

You must be new here. Domestic gsm has been unlocked on most modern Sprint smart phones. Just in the years I've been with Sprint ive unlocked the Moto Q, G2, S4, and now the G3 for ATT and straight talk. Ive read of several others having the same ability. The s5 can also be unlocked but only one guy knows how but you gotta pay him for it. Kinda ****ty but it actually works.

You didnt listen... Sprint phone works 100% for att.. They jt blocks it at the software level... But my friends has unlocked all the newer sprint phones till now.. I dont see why he shudnt be able to do it here

Any chances of unlocking when outside US? I got my phone from Amazon and got it shipped in my country. Tried calling them but they said they only unlock activated phones. Also tried various sites that offer unlock codes but since G4 is not asking for unlock code, they can't do anything.
Do I have any other options?

For those still trying to unlock, I've followed this post for unlocking the G3.

I can't confirm, since I don't have access to any AT&T SIM at the moment. If you're already rooted, you can try it out, but make sure to back up the files.
Another update: After updating the APN, my data finally worked. LTE is impossible at the moment since the this doesn't support the LTE bands here in my country
Warning: Don't try to disable auto activation for now. I got the Security Error and still on the process of fixing it.

Sim Unlock for International use[SPRINT G4]

My friend is bringing me an Sprint LG G4 from the states. Was trying to find information but was not sure if the phone is unlocked for International use? Specifically Kuwait and India. I know we cannot edit APN's at the moment but can we use call and texting?
If it not unlocked, then is http://www.unlockallcellular.com/united-states-sprint-lg-g4-unlock-code-np-202435.htmlthe way to go?
Thank you

you can edit APN via ##3282#, you will need your MSL -search this forum you will find how to get it. But you will not be able to unlock Sprint variant for international GSM use. Only Sprint can do over the air and the phone has to be active on Sprint account for this.

If you guys don't mind flashing/restoring your phone using the TOT method. You can try it out. I tried it out and it was SIM unlock out of the box. To edit the APN, I used Shortcut Master (Lite).
I'm from the Philippines by the way. The LTE bands of this phone doesn't support my carrier's LTE bands so no LTE for me.

I am not sure if it's on stock, paid one cellphone shop here in california to have it gsm unlock. My sister who is currently using it in the philippines said that she just noticed that she cant receive any calls with it. In fact they tried calling it with another phone and it doesn't ring and even not give any notification for a missed call. The calling phone hears that its supposed to be ringing and after sometime it would say cannot be reached.
It can receive and send sms messages.

I'm not sure if Smart Network can access LTE but can you check? If LTE is available, can you make sure that the network selection is not set to LTE only, since sometimes it can affect making/receiving phone calls.

Try installing Shortcut Master (Lite) and try RAT_Selection(I'm not sure if it requires root though), then force WCDMA only if it will make a difference.

Just bought a LS991 that was supposed to be unlocked. Can it work on T-Mobile?
Hey everybody...
I bought a sim unlocked G4 from ebay. The seller claimed that it was unlocked for use with all gsm carriers, including t-mobile. After receiving the phone, I discovered that the phone was LS991 (Sprint version) and not the international version. If the phone is indeed unlocked as the seller stated, can I just insert a T-Mobile sim and start using right away? Or, will there be limits on the ability to make calls or connect to HSPA or LTE data?
Will the "APN" need updating to work with smoothly with T-Mobile? If anyone has prior experience in using LS991 on T-Mobile, please let me know!
