Hello, i would like to try verizon on my atrix which is on att prepaid. I got a 4g verizon sim on ebay dont know if i can use it tho. I just wanted to try verizon prepaid on my phone to see if i like it better, i dont need 4g just phone and wifi. Any suggestions how to do this?
thanks!
The Atrix has neither a CDMA radio for standard use nor a LTE radio to use Verizon's 4G service. There is no way to do what you are suggesting, I'm sorry.
Hi guys, I have sprint and get a discount . I want internet on my tab I'm tired of tethering from my phone . I'm thinking of getting the HTC view 4g. I did a search didn't come up with much . Thanks
Tapatalk, the best thing since 3g data
What exactly do you want to do?
Flash the xoom to sprint so i can get 3g

Just shooting from the hip hear because someone will be along shortly to put in their 2 cents..
Being that Verizon and Sprint use two different bandwidths I'm going to say it wont work. Its like trying to pick up FM with an AM radio.

Sprint and Verizon's 3G are compatible with each other. That's why Sprint phones can, or used to be able to, roam on Verzion's network...
Sprint and Verizon's 4G networks are not compatible, though.
Sprint and VZW still roam off each other... so the freq's aren't an issue.
I guess it depends on whether or not you upgraded to the 4G radio.
Can it operate on Sprints network? yes, will sprint allow it? probably not. Sprint employees have to let the device work on the network and technically they're not supposed to do that, but if you're good friends with a sprint technician maybe you can talk them into it.
I've mentioned here I have some signal problems with my Samsung Epic on Verizon. I think most of these are the result of using a Sprint radio on Verizon. What I'm curious about is, has anyone tried/tested using a modem flash out of the Samsung Stratosphere, which is the Epic variant for Verizon, on the Epic? Obviously the Epic doesn't have LTE, which might be a problem, but the proper CDMA and EVDO handling would be nice.
No. And the variant is the Fascinate. We use different band speeds. The stratosphere is the gs2 I believe.

Actually despite coming out as late as it did, the Stratosphere is indeed a GS1 phone.
But yeah, modem for that phone is useless to us nonetheless.

In that case, does anyone have a recommendation on a modem that will work better with Verizon, or a way to make one of the existing modems do so?

If I understand you correctly, you have an Epic that you're using with a Verizon subscription? Not just roaming? Either way, you'll probably want to look into changing to a Verizon PRL (Preferred Roaming List.) I'm not certain how the PRL on an Epic works if you're on Verizon service, but I know there are Verizon-friendly and -specific PRLs available. See the thread concerning switching PRLs in Development.
As for your modem: some people have better connections with newer modems, some are better with older modems. The only way to know is to flash different ones and experiment.

Nope, that's just in your head. Our phones work just fine on CDMA towers.

Technically, it's a Verizon MVNO, but yes. I've updated the PRL, and to the latest stock modem which helped the problem considerably, but I still have problems with the signal strength "wobbling" a lot--such as going from 4 bars to 0 to 4--and resulting issues like dropped calls.

I have Pageplus service (which is a Verizon MVNO) and I noticed the signal bars dropping to zero a few times when I'm at work indoor, but I never had dropped calls with this service AFAIK.
The only problem I have right now is with the 3G data which doesn't work at all. especially after I started using CM7 roms

Have you checked the username credentials? This flummoxed me for awhile when I first ported my number in to my current provider: I couldn't get online even though the data was provisioned. But phones flashed from another carrier generally won't automatically update their data connection username and password. Mine didn't, so I had to go in manually with QPST to change it to the right values. It should match your phone number; if not, that's probably your issue.
Hi,
I have a Verizon Note 3 N900V phone. I had changed it over to Straight talk AT&T and everything works except for the 4G. Can not find anything on how to get the 4G LTE to work. Any suggestions?

Unfortunately the sm900v will not get 4g lte on AT&T.. you will only get 4g or h+.. doesnt work on At&t bandwidth. .
You can get 4g lte on Tmobile if you can change over..I have tested both tmobile and at&t.

So, if I'm hearing (well, reading) correctly, I can get 4G and HSPA on my Verizon branded Note 3?
I'm asking because I have GOT to get away from Big V. I can't stand the way they lock their phones. Not really interested yet in a new phone but will buy a full priced one that I can root and switch to AT&T or TMO come Feb '16. In reading this thread, it makes me think that I can get relatively high speed internet access through AT&T (they have awesome coverage in this area as well) that will allow for music streaming and basically, anything short of watching video with my phone (Verizon Note 3, Android 4.4.2) as is, with just a couple changes to the APN settings? Is that right?
Holy cow! This could change everything for me! Any other details I need to know? Any advice, info, what have you, would be appreciated!

I did the swap today and, according to my wife and the people at TMO, I'm getting data/text/etc... but no phone. It can't call or receive...
Any ideas? I'm stuck at ork and can't get to it right now - i'm using hangouts on the work computer and talking with her that way.
She says they say it's a root issue. I call BS on that...
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!
I'm an idiot....
She is too...
They are as well...
Phone works great. My wife forgot that they gave me a new number for the time being until the Verizon number was ported, which was why my phone didn't ring on TMO...
Google Voice is installed on my phone and when it detected the number wasn't right, it wouldn't complete the call...
And the folks @ the TMO store said my problem was that I was rooted! I got the hell out of there ASAP & fixed everything myself! Soon as someone says
"Oh, there's the problem! You're ROOTED!" run the other way!
Took care of all that and it's flawless!
Thanks for the great posting - this did all I needed and now I've got TMO and a HUGE data allowance for two phones at half the cost of less than that on Big V....
Bye-bye Verizon....!
I have Moto X Pure Edition with Sprint sim card. It working on Sprint network and better network signal than my Samsung phone. I used to change PRL to Verizon in forced roam on my S2. Anyone know how to flash modified PRL on Moto X Pure Edition?
Thanks.
Even I tried to look everywhere. Including nexus 6, 5x 6p. I have no luck to find information. Anyone know how to change prl? Thanks
Have you tried calling Sprint? My mom used an airave through Sprint and her phone has to use a certain prl to communicate with the airave. They pushed the prl to her phone and said don't update prl or will lose connection with airave.
Bump. Looking for info on this as well. I can get qpst to see the phone but it does not connect.
I have successfully flashed prl but it doesn't stick. I see other devices (m9 and g4) have the same issue. Looks like Sprint finally locked it down.
If anyone has any leads on how to make this work please pm or post.
