FYI you can use google fi on a tmobile carrier locked device. I'll need to get that one app that tells you carrier stats and see if its actually getting onto the stronger network in the area but as far as i can tell I get great signal everywhere. Even says Google Fi at the top left, works on the tmobile apn but i just put the google fi apn on either way. Texting via wifi works but since it's not a tmobile sim i cant get wifi calling to work. Shouldnt need the system settings to work, i just cannot get the dailer to dail out while airplane mode is on keeps whining and asks me to turn off airplane mode but it's alright.

So i picked up a Verizon 8x to use back home (Bermuda) since its an unlocked world phone. I popped in my sim and entered my providers apn but the phone only connects to edge. Is there something special i need to do to get it to connect to 3g (HSPA)? Also the connection mode settings are grayed out, i cant force it to connect to a type of network if i wanted.

Sorry for you, but that is Verizon. For that reason, I travel also to Europe, I use only phones which can do all GSM. You may call Verizon that they make a change, but not likely.
Hello Team,
i purchased a unlocked HTC one and i use a AT&T gophone sim card. i am not able to get the LTE signals so i would like to know is the phone capable or its an issue.

This happened to me a few months ago. The phone is definitely capable and you will get LTE signals on the $60/month GoPhone plan.
1. First of all, call GoPhone customer support (611 from the phone) and confirm that they have your HTC One whitelisted for LTE. They're going to double check with you your phone's IMEI number (they can already see it, but will ask you for it anyway), and then confirmed that the phone is allowed to get LTE signals. They're also going to double check your APN setting and provide you with the appropriate entries for AT&T.
2. Reboot and see if you now get LTE signals. If you still don't get it, check whether your mobile network settings is set to GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto instead of GSM/WCDMA Auto or WCDMA Preferred (or maybe something else). If you don't see any LTE option, dial *#*#4636#*#* from your dialer, and in the first drop down box choose 'GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto' or anything with LTE just to make sure you can catch LTE signals at all. If you were able to find and switch to the setting you want, exit out, and go back to that menu, double checking if the setting sticks. If it does, reboot and try again.
3. Most people will get LTE signals after #1 above, while some were only able to get it after #2. However if you are unlucky like me, the LTE setting does not show up in mobile network and no matter what I do in the hidden menu, the setting won't stick (it's stuck on GSM/WCDMA Auto). I actually tried flashing a different radio at this point (a newer AT&T radio), but still... no LTE for me. What solved this finally for me is that I flashed a custom ROM (in my case it was ARHD 12.2). This enabled me to choose GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto under mobile network settings, and after that I was able to get LTE. It was great! :good:
Hopefully that helps. Good luck!
Hello
I am in a great trouble and would really appreciates if someone can help me out here
I live outside U.S and I bought XT1060 verizon Moto X yesterday. The retailer put my GSM sim inside phone and it worked fine without any errors. Voice, sms and gprs was working fine. Phone was 4.4.2 Kitkat stock rom.
Last night i went to settings > about > system update. and there i found that an update is available for 4.4.4. I downloaded the update and installed it successfully without any error. Now my phone is working like before but it can not register my cellular network anymore :crying: No voice no sms no data.
It sometimes grabs the signals and then drops and sometimes shows full signal bars with "No Service" network settings.
I have tried UMTS/GSM mode and Global mode but no use. With global version it shows some 5 digit number on cellular icon in notification area.
Please somebody tells me if Verizon version is sim-lock free then why i am having this issue?

I have the vzw too, without issues. Try a factory reset maybe?

Due to the FCC rules around the 700mhz C block auction in the USA which Verizon won, they do not SIM lock their LTE phones. And the 4.4.4 OTA on the XT1060 definitely did not SIM luck the X.
Please make sure that your APN settings on your phone are still set correctly for your carrier. If they are not, your phone will not work.
While in many cases the APN settings come down automatically from the carrier, sometimes the phone relies on a table file that is part of the ROM itself instead. If the settings don't come down automatically, and the table got changed (either settings for your carrier were removed, or are no longer correct for your carrier in the 4.4.4 update), you must manually enter them to have working services.
You will have to check with your carrier what the correct APN settings are, and check them against your phone, or visit the GSM Retailer where you got your SIM, and ask them to check it.

Which table file of ROM your'e talking about ? How do i know that my carrier is already listed in that table and how to edit that table since my phone is not rooted even.
For an update, i went a retailer and there was a guy who took my phone and did the trick and my phone gets the sim registered for Voice and data (3G). I couldn't see him doing the magic but definately he didn't rooted the phone neither he crooks the ROM every thing was in its place when i get my phone back.
So wondering what he might have changed after which phone started working normal.

If you are rooted, take a look at -> /system/etc/apns-conf.xml
That being said, you don't need to be rooted to MANUALLY enter APN settings via App Drawer -> Settings -> More..(under Wireless & Networks) -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names... But you do need the right values, and to enter them without any typographical errors.
I decided to give Project Fi a try after the word came down about Verizon raising the rates for unlimited data plans. Long story short, it's not for me. The coverage stinks in the areas I travel. Battery life took a big hit due to it having trouble finding and keeping a signal. I thought it would be better having looked at the TMo coverage maps. Anyway, that's a different topic.
I hadn't canceled my Verizon account so I put that SIM back in and it seems like I am connected to Verizon's network again. All the texts sent to that number came through once the phone was turned on with the VZW SIM back in. However, I can't make any calls. I get an operator error about being unable to complete the call. The Cellular Network Settings only has a roaming setting. Don't have the Enhanced VoLTE option and the other things I had prior to switching to Fi. Did the *#*#4636#*#* thing to try turning the radio off and on, turning on the VoLTE provisioning flag, rebooted, etc. No change in my ability to make calls. Anyone have any ideas what I need to do to get voice calls working again? If it matters, I am on 5.1.1 LMY48T.

The solution is to go into the calls section of the dialer and disable the call assistant settings.
https://www.reddit.com/r/ProjectFi/...ing_between_verizon_and_project_fi_sim_cards/
OK, so I can make calls again by changing the setting above. But I am without simultaneous voice and data. Still missing most settings under Cellular Network. Any ideas on how to get that back? Is there anything I need to toggle in the *#*#4636#*#* menu?
I'm having the same problem. But the issue is my phone is operating In Ireland, I've never lived in the u.s but I don't have call assistant in my dialer settings...I have data and texts and can receive calls but can't dial out, I obviously don't have access to projectfi here in Ireland and it is installed on my phone but its disabled and always has been, really strange I flashed the ROM for marshmallow automatically suggested by NRT for my device, but I'm wondering if the rom I flashed was u.s. specific even though it didn't suggest that in the rom I flashed...it has me absolutely baffled.

This came up alot when the N6 was first released last year. You will need to factory wipe the phone, and then you will have full access to the Verizon network. There is an issue with putting in a Verizon SIM after using another carrier's SIM.. Not sure but it might have affected Sprint also. The posts are out there on XDA about this, if you dont trust me. You can search and find them.

Sorry for the late reply. Life got in the way of me checking back on this thread sooner.
I believe you about the factory reset fixing it. Was just hoping there was an easier way so I don't have to setup my phone again. Perhaps the Marshmallow OTA will fix it but who knows when we'll get that. I'm tired of dealing with the signal issues I have as a result of switching back and forth so I'm going to do the reset. Just to confirm, this is the option under Settings > Backup & reset, right? Or is it something I need to boot into recovery to do?
So on Monday ATT decided to deactivate my sim card because they believe my phone is incompatible with their network now. All my bars went to 0 with an x on it and I couldn't do anything on the phone. I went to an ATT store, got them to give me a new activated sim and I put it in my phone and all my bars came back.
My phone says VoLTE again too by the signal bar area. I also tested a text and it went through fine. I received a phone call and while it works fine, it sounds like junk now. Like it is no longer actually using VoLTE like it always has. My phone doesnt seem to have any data however, when it should have LTE just fine. I also cannot make any calls, even though it says VoLTE on the phone, it just re-routes to ATT customer service instead of going through with the call.
When I go into the network area in settings it says no IP address either. I looked and my APN is set to nxtgenphone, Preferred Network Type selected on LTE. Before ATT deactivated my sim card LTE has always worked fine, and LTE should still work fine. It is only the 3G network being shut down. Also given the fact I have the VoLTE icon the phone is apparently connecting somewhat to an LTE network.
So does anyone know how to fix settings to get data working again? Is it just an APN that needs to change? What is everyone else doing with the network shutdown and has anyone else had issues like this?
I had the exact same issue, your issue is in fact APN settings I'm having them as well. Try deleting your current APN and putting in a new one. Once I got a new sim my APN reset I could call but no data and no text. I have half of the APN information in place and have data and basic text, but once I input the MMS port the APN data disappears still trying to figure that out. Not sure if anything I typed is helpful but at least you know your not alone with a mi11 on ATT and it can work

Thanks for the reply. I tried deleting the MMS port and also the proxy just now and data didnt come back. I will try searching around for more APN info for how phones are supposed to connect now and see if I can find anything.
It looks like from what I could find that it is due to an IMEI whitelist ATT has, blocking data connection on any device not in their whitelist. The solution seems to be to root the phone and change your IMEI to a whitelisted model.
While my phone is rooted my IMEI is not cloned I definitely would not share my IMEI with ATT. When I got my sim card yesterday I had the attendant activate but I did not provide my phone so he did not get the IMEI from my phone. If you got a sim and they input your IMEI that could be a problem possibly. Just a suggestion to try and get a sim activated at a store without your phone.
I had also heard that most ATT MVNOs were not having the device whitelist forced on them yet, so I went and tried 2 different ones yesterday. Both failed to get the phone working on their network with their sims.
Before I went through the hassle of rooting (and most likely losing payments) I tried ATT again anyway. I used their online customer service chat and the first person I chatted with said he could help me with the lte data problem and the IMEI issue. I was skeptical, but he actually did fix it all up. He just needed my sim ICCID and my phones IMEI1 and he submitted the info to their backend people for adding to their system. It took almost an hour and a half for it to get added, but overall it was a pretty painless process and I was browing the web most of the time while waiting in chat. I now have LTE data again, VoLTE again, and "5G" too (which ATT 5G is really just one or two more features than normal LTE and is no faster in speed and uses LTE data bands). I attached a screenshot showing the data and VoLTE working on my phone. The first signal is ATT, the second is TMobile (which has always worked and never had an issue, their 3G network shutdown is going on for another 4-5 months)

Happy you are back up and running and I'm glad that you found someone at ATT to do the fairly easy work of getting your IMEI cleared. Lots of people have been worried about devices not working on ATT because of this whitelist issue glad to see there are workarounds just wish ATT didn't make it so convoluted.
