Did u figure this out? There's no way the phone can b deactivated? Makes no sense. Unless your straight talk month service ran out.

WOW guys
here's the scenario.
i have the at&t s4 i337 with ST (straight talk sim)
my wife has the at&t s5 g900a with ST (straight talk sim)
both rooted stock 4.4.2 and titanium pro BOTH WITH at&t software update, Knox, lookout ALL FROZEN/DISABLED
been having issues with my S4 so I took my ST sim out and put in my wife's S5 to test my sim card.
all of the sudden device management arrows /at&t software update shows up in the bar on my Wifes S5
immediately the s5 became completely disabled to any network capability.
checked apn settingsetc etc. the s5 was COMPLETELY dead to any network.
5 hours on phone back n forth with ST and AT&T they blamed each other for my issue (saying the other was blocking the service)
Come to find out, the S4 ive been using for over a year, that i bought on ebay has a BAD IMEI! (never thought to check)
Bottom line, for some reason when i put the ST sim from my phone (bad imei-s4) into her S5 it triggered some sort of update that shut off network communication on the S5. EVEN THOUGH I HAVE AT&T Software update disabled on the S5!!!!
SOLVED
Unfortunately i am going to have to buy myself a new phone because i cant keep a stolen phone in good conscious,and i went and bought a new ST Sim for wifes phone and transferred to it, now her phone is all back to good.(must have flagged the sim itself)
Moreover, i would like to know, for future reference, HOW/WHY could At&T force an update to shut down network/sim card when AT&t update and knox etc etc was frozen/disabled in Titanium??????
Even MORE, what other apps can i disable or freeze on the S5 to prevent ANY future automatic/forced updating to occur???
Is there a full freezable apps list for the S5 ? Specifically ones for at&t updates?
i mean, i assumed OTA stuff was strickly FW upgrades only (i.e. like 4.3 to 4.4 etc etc)

Freeze the following to stop all updates:
AT&T Software Update.
FWUpgrade.
LocalFOTA.
Samsung Push Service.
Security Policy Updates.

Switched Back to the Nexus 6 - Now Can't Make Calls or get Internet on Verizon

Hello Guys. I recently tried the LG V10 for a week but decided to go back to the Nexus 6. I powered down the V10 and removed the SIM card. Then loaded the SIM into the Nexus 6 and powered it on. After boot, I saw the Verizon Wireless name in the upper right corner and thought I was good to go. However, I do not have an internet connection and can't make calls. I get a message saying "your call can't be completed".
I am running AOISP marshmallow ROM and everything worked perfectly before. I also had no issue when loading the SIM into the V10.
Any suggestions to get me connected again? Thanks Guys.

Here''s an update:
Loaded SIM back into V10 and did a factory reset: No Good. Still no internet or calls.
Looked online and My Verizon says the "Device is Suspended". There is a button to click that says "Reconnect Device"
If I reconnect device, will I jeapordize unlimited data? I got the LG V10 before November 15 from Best Buy. Never used the new SIM.

I have had similar issue before with my phone and Verizon. Flashed a stock rom and let then let phone boot up completely. Wait till it gets LTE and then retore your custom rom. Something to do with APN config being made to the sim card.

Note 5 (SM-N9208) Call related issues

Hello,
I have SM-N9208 with T-Mobile(personal) and ATT(work) sims (build number NRD90M.N9208ZTS3CQK1 just updated) and I have been having call issues when I try to use T-Mobile sim.
When try to make a call using T-Mobile sim, most of the time either me or the other party cannot hear each other when the call gets connected. Some times call does not even go through and some times it connects just fine!
I had replaced the T-Mobile sim, tried with ATT sim out, tried with headphones and bluetooth but issue/s remains. I just updated the phone with above build but still no luck! I did not root this or flashed with any rom (factory or otherwise) thus far. All the updates were always done through wifi. A few days ago I had also reset this to factory default and erased everything and I installed everything from play store with out restoring from backup. Nope that did not solve the issue either! I also notice now that when call is ongoing with on T-Mobile sim and if data is set to T-Mobile, I see E instead of 4G! By the way I am in northern NJ( not sure if T-Mobile is changing something on their end). Any call plased through ATT sim goes fine whether it is SIM1 slot or SIM2 slot.
Has anyone ever seen this and any help is greatly appreciated.
Also, can I load firmware from another country (say Philippines since I think my current firmware is Tiwan)?
Thanks,
Chuck

Note 8 keep dropping connection once a while. Cannot call, text, data.

Hi! Thanks for reading my problem.
I have a tmobile note 8 that I have successfully switched to verizon firmware according to the guide here. It got the verizon boot logo and bloatware just like vzw phone.
It work perfectly after the switch, 4g lte ,call or text all work.
But it will drop after a while of use. It can be a few hours or few minutes. I cannot receive call, cannot access internet, cannot make call...
If I restart it all will become working again for a while. Any recommendation how to fix it? Thanks again.

I have a note 8 (SM-N950F/DS) for about three weeks now. I am using FP on AT&T network. When I just got it, especially while I was moving in the car or train, it would lost the data connection quite often even though showing full bar signal. I had to put it on air plane mode then switched back to reconnect.
Then after 1-2 weeks of use, the issue went away. I don't know it was due to the latest update (I am on Dec security patch now) or some kind of the phone learning my travel pattern.

Interesting, My phone lost it while I m at work... not even moving

For the longest time I thought was alone here. VZ Wireless Note 8 user here. My signal also just drops out of no where. When I look at my screen the 4G LTE upload up arrow is the only one turning up and down. Sometimes this issue will go away on its own after a few minutes or longer. But, randomly out of nowhere this started to happen. Few weeks now and counting I'm guessing it has something to do with a update that I recently upgraded to. I never had this issue when I first had my phone.....

I also have the problem.. Also Verizon branded Note 8.
I see a global Android update coming to possibly address this
From Android Headlines (AH):
"New Android Update For Galaxy Note 8 Improves LTE Stability"
"The latest Android update for the Galaxy Note 8 was designed to improve the stability of the phablet’s 4G LTE functionality as it specifically addresses a bug that occasionally caused interruptions of such connections, as revealed by a changelog published by Samsung earlier this week. The update appears to be rolling out on a global level, with its distribution officially starting on Wednesday, 15 days after the Seoul-based phone maker launched the latest security patch for the same handset."
Starting this month..
Anyone with ideas how to resolve this in the meantime?

I am still having this problem after oreo update.. I don't think I want samsung anymore..

Ok guys those who have Verizon, go to settings, mobile settings and change network to cdma and reset your settings. Turn off the phone, pop the sim tray out, power up ur phone while sim is out and turn off the phone again, this time push ur sim card in and turn on your phone. It should solve the problem of signal being dropped. Good luck.

Note 9 Carrier switch problems!

As the titled says, I have an unlocked Note 9 that was initially on sprint/Tmobile a few years ago and it is unlocked. I just switched to AT&T and i am able to use data and text, but i cannot make calls or access my voicemail. Says call ended as soon as i try and make a call or hold #1. No VoLTE or wifi calling options either. Do i need to flash the unlocked firmware to gain all features?
Please help!

Is it a N960U or N960U1? They are supported.
See attachment.

Similar here. ATT shut down 3G in my area. My carrier unlocked Note 9 is running Oreo 8.1. ATT is telling me i have to update to latest available software released for my device in order to access VoLTE. My wife who has an ATT firmware flashed note 9 never had an issue from day 1. There is something in the unlocked firmware (or att blacklisting unlocked phones) that is not allowing VoLTE. In the hidden menu 4636, my VoLTE is greyed out and OFF. I am trying to decide if i update to PIE and see if it is indeed unlocked. I just liked OREO appearance over PIE changes...

Pie is more secure and is patched against the worst rootkit that requires a reflash to purge.
You need to update your sim card more than likely. Try that first or try the wife's sim card in it.

I was sent a new Sim and it didnt work. i tried another sim running VoLTE and it didnt work. I resigned to updating and Im up to OneUI2 and it still isnt working. Ill go until ive ran out of updates, then call ATT back... they have "assured me" that my sim and account are fully provisioned. I remain skeptical.

Went through all updates, about 4hours worth and 7 iterations. Issue was not resolved until android 10, OneUI 1.0. VoLTE provisioning switch still greyed out but in "on" status. Still no VoWIFI, another restriction I have no desire to pursue.
