Hi
I'm thinking about switching to Verizon wireless, but I want to take my evo with me. Will it be possible to do? What are the cons of doing so?
Any help with be greatly appreciated.
Have you tried using the EVDO hack to get Verizon coverage without actually making the switch?
Why would u jump to the verizon
sent with my evo from a secret place

No, it's not possible. Please search the forums next time.
While the EVO may be on the same type of network as Verizon, they will never activate the phone on Verizon.
Man the recent threads from people who have 10th posts or less are getting sad!
There is nothing preventing you from taking the EVO with you to Verizon. However, you won't be able to call or text, and all of your data must be through wifi.

That caused me to slowly roll into a nice belly laugh. Well stated.
Haha, that was good.
They should make it so your first 25 posts can only be posted in the Q&A forum with voting, so if you post too many really stupid questions that have been answered a hundred times before, people can vote you off the forums...

That is just plain unfair to those of us who have any idea what we are talking about or actually know what we can and can't do with our phones but haven't been members as long as some others or have a lot keeping them occupied and can't have a high post count

No because people like that are the minority. Most of the people with 25 posts or less ask questions that can be found with a SEARCH or have been posted in the Q and A subforum.
Besides...what are you complaining or arguing about? You have 40 posts, well above the limit that he was talking about.
To the OP, why would you want to? Sprint has a roaming agreement w/ Verizon, and Sprint is a LOT cheaper! And this:

I had less than 25 not very long ago but something doesn't have to affect me to think it is unfair and my problem is trying to assume that everyone who has been a member for a shorter time is a "n00b" or doesn't know how to use a forum or follow guidelines
Well that is why there are threads specifically for "how to search" the forums. If you can think of the question...then search for it first. If you can't find your answer, then ask the question. It's not that hard, yet when people get told to search, they throw a fit and call members rude and mean.
Life isn't easy or fair. Sometimes you have to get chewed up and spit out to learn.
if you dont wanna help, then keep the useless comments to yourself. im so sick of all of the wannabe moderators on here lately.
yes, you can, although it's a little bit 'gray'.
get a phone with verizon. get a plan with verizon. google esn switching. change the evo's esn to match that of your new phone. done. it won't have 4g. otherwise should be fine.
although, esn switching is frowned upon, but that is for setting up multiple devices with the same esn. it's a gray area otherwise. if you swap the esn out, make sure you DO NOT USE the other device. you would be in direct violation of something, i'm sure.

i laughed too I tried the same thing when I got the I/O Evo and it can not be done you have to have someone inside verizon add the phone to there network which they will not do no matter what you ask I have an Insider at Verizon and he said he couldnt/wouldnt do it it would get back to him and he would get fired so i dont know what to tell ya

That isn't the end of it actually. Only the tip of the iceberg.
In addition to the above you also need to change all the variables in the device to match those of verizon. This means your data log in, dns servers, PRL, mms/sms information etc..
It is a very detailed process that generally nets you a device that is missing something, usually mms or data. It can be done but it isn't easy nor would I recommend anyone doing it.
You also DO NOT need to clone another devices ESN. While that would work Verizon will activate a device that isn't made for their network. It takes getting the correct rep on the line high enough in the food chain. You can also send the device in and let their techs do the work but it takes upwards of a month and YMMV on that route as well.

those aren't that hard to edit, if you know the config. just a matter of going into the data edit and changing the addresses. changing the esn is the more intricate bit, because you need extra software to read and manipulate them. if you can change the esn, the other stuff can be done on the phone iteself.
really? i always thought the ESN part was the easiest. the other stuff seems to be more tedious and troublesome!

That WAS constructive, if less than polite. So I apologize for my rudeness.
I'm really unhappy about all the carriers touting their 4G networks when (at the time) there wasn't even a 4G standard.
Now there is a 4G standard but it hasn't been deployed anywhere.
If you want your phone lying to you, that's your business. I just happen to have a loathing for marketing jerks who thrive off of confusing issues rather than clarifying them. I also feel that it is our responsibility as members of our respective communities to clear up deliberate foisted misconceptions among those less technically literate when possible.

Go check out the G1 forums. This past April Fools they made a bunch of ROM releases where they replaced the "E" icon with a "4g" icon.
Many lulz were had.

Anyone have a link to the guide that shows you how to put verizon PRLs on Evo to use verizon towers?
my co-worker did it once on my phone, but when my phone was replaced, it took me till last night to get it rooted again.
It was a flash this and when u are ready dial a number and you get a "welcome to Verizon" or something like that. Not sure.
Thanks guys.

Well, you can use the App Roam Control. Or there is a post about how to do this in the Dev section. Just simply use the "Search" bar.

i have heard about this roam control, but haven't investigated it, we used something else earlier.
I try to use the search bar, but i get so much crap results it sucks to sift through, so i figured i could post and wait for someone to see it and say, "oh yeah, that's over here:..." I even tried to search "verizon" but i get tons of themes and roms and stuff that are no way related to Verizon. XDAs one downfall.

that does help. i did not know about tecknowfile. The search i was referring to was the "search this forum" within XDA. I love XDA, the people here are the best, the leaders in android development, the nicest and most quick to help group on any kind of forum i have ever found. I am sorry for sounding like i was insulting XDA, i just meant i have trouble with their "search this forum" search and don't get the best results, probably due to bad tags or off topic responses within those threads.
Sorry for the negativity and thank you for your help.
From what I understand Roam Control will only force you into 1x, not so much 3G... so if you're looking to replace crappy data speeds you're out of luck there. I've been too wimpy to try the PRL hack though.
roam control is great but limited, it can force your connection to roaming but it won't connect to verizon the same way as the prl hack, I've tested it. the prl hack is far faster speeds, with roam control I would get 15~100kpbs, with prl hack I would get 600~2000kbps in the same spot
How much data did you push? What really makes me paranoid about the PRL hack is the amount of data I may push if I switch over. I push 5-6 GB a month, and it seems like that would set off red flags all over Sprint HQ, haha.
I read up on this just recently and decided to go with Roam Control instead of the PRL hack. The PRL hack is tedious to activate/deactivate, and I only need it while I'm at work (signal is fine everywhere else).
For me, the limited speeds of Roam Control was worth the convenience of one click activate/deactivate.
Yea if voice is your concern, roam control would work fine. I know a lot of people though who would love getting access to Verizon's 3G network.
Hello all,
Deciding to choose between the C6602 or C6603. I am in the US and it would be on Tmobile. Do both support HSPA+? I've also read that the ZL baseband can be flashed for LTE support in CA, has anyone tested in the US for AT&T or Tmobile? From what I understand, the ZL baseband supports those bands.
I would like to be able to choose between LTE and HSPA+
What is the best choice for my situation. These bands confuse me so I apologize, I did my research and this is my last resort to get a clear answer.
Cheers.

OP - You should have searched & posted in the correct section. I'm not going to lecture you on this, we all have better things to do with our time.
The Rest - Seriously? What is your problem? Why can't you all just get on? If you have nothing constructive to say, don't post. This is the internet, if you're getting mad at someone you don't even know posting in the wrong place you take things way too seriously.
@G1_enthusiast - You think that XDA being a developers forum we don't have ways to know about duplicate accounts? Did you know that most browsers can be queried for a unique installation ID? IP's are an ancient and ineffective way to track users.
Thread Closed.
So guys, here I want to make a count of which variant of LG G4 models are having the most issues. Vote for your variant to see which region has got the most defective models.
Plus if I miss any variant, please inform me. I collected all these models from the web. So there might be some variations in those model no.
Can you stop with polls and other annoying new threads talking about defects and stuff?? This is the only forum I have seen so many different threads for same topic. And no phone does not have so many diffects. If you believe it does then go return it and get another one or just get another phone.

To my knowledge, we haven't seen a dedicated thread breaking down issues to their respective variants. I think this is a good idea.

Thanks for understanding my motives.
I have the AT&T variant and the only issue I am suffering from is the touch screen responsiveness.
I can't see how this is in the least useful. In order to get usable data about which is most defective, you'd have to know how many of each device were purchased. Otherwise, you have a number of defective or problematic units, but no basis for comparison to determine which is "most" defective. You need the total number of devices as well to produce a ratio or percentage of defective units. If you're looking for statistics, you're not going to get anything useful from this poll.
yeah poorly constructed. Would be better if I was a poll about what version you have, and if its defective. That would give you a percentage of each model type with fails.
H815... no issues at all. And I'm usually very critical of my phones.

And how do you plan to achieve anything with this non sense thread? Your poll requires every user to have every possible model and tell you which model had more defects. This is duplicate thread of 10 other duplicte threads of another duplicate threat talking about defective units. + how will results from this poll be useful to anybody? Every unit has issues, everywhere. A car a phone a plane nothing is 100% perfect.

Why isn't this thread deleted already?
You already have a poll thread for various issues. There's no need for another one. This poll is rather pointless, because people are only going to vote for the model that they own, so it's not going to provide any usable data.
We already have enough threads about the various issues people seem to be having. I feel it's getting a little out of control now.
