Seems like my new Nexus 4 doesn't like my LTE micro sim card from Rogers Canada. I noticed when I'm placing a call, dialer hangs up and a split second later reconnects. Call goes thru fine, but gets registered as 2 calls in call log. This also prevents from dialing in conference bridges
I've seen similar behaviour before from my old Motorola XT860, so I immediately suspected the SIM which turned to be the culprit with the XT860. So I changed back to my old non-LTE micro SIM and all is good now. Its not big deal, since phone isn't LTE anyway, but is really annoying.
Anyone else noticed similar behaviour?
Why is it annoying? It is not an lte phone? Why would you expect an lte sim to work?

Heh.. "thanks" for the useful reply!
Rogers uses one LTE Sim which is backward compatible with 3g. I'm using one and I haven't experienced any issues so far.

Same here. Took the LTE sim out of my S3 and haven't had an issue.
Thanks guys, since I switched back to my old non LTE Sim, I haven't had any issue. With the LTE Sim it was doing it maybe 3 out of 4 times, so not all the time. I'll pick nano Sim with adapter soon to see if it behaves any different. I'm glad Rogers let's you switch between sim cards without much hassle at least.

Well - now since Nexus 4 works pretty well on LTE in Canada, I think I have a pretty good reason to solve that reconnect call issue. Dialling conference bridges is really annoying as you can't do it automatically and some of us do use the phone for work.

Don't lte SIM cards say 4g on them ?
Thank
Edit . When I web search the sku 72290
It tells me iPhone 4/4s micro SIM
i think you have to have the correct sim card and they also have to provision your card on the network correctly for it to work right....you should call ATT if your's isn't working right
Tough to say, I'd take it to the store I, work for att. Have them cover all the bases. Get a new sim to be sure its not faulty and have them check the imei for your phone on their end. If that doesn't fix it call customer care and request they re-register your phone. Once that is done if your having the problem still and others with att are getting good coverage its most likely your phone.

I think it's something to do with the porting.
Its now flashing hspa + 4g.
I know when I received my phone att had included a non lte sim I had to have it changed out at the att store.
Your SIM is probably OK but your account needs to be provisioned for lte.
Just to be sure you have the att model SGS III?

I have an HTC One X on At&t that has a micro SIM and unlimited data. Is it possible to just pop it into the Nexus 7 and use its cellular connection? Thanks in advance

Should be able to yes, but for Data only of course.
Has anyone actually tried this yet? I'm on T-Mobile, and if it would be possible to swap my SIM between my phone (Nexus 4 on order) and the 3G Nexus 7, I'd certainly buy the N7. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a clear answer on this.
If AT&T screens out the IMEI it won't work.

T-Mobile is already confirmed to be screening out the IMEI of the Nexus 7.
I do see you have posted in the Springboard forum. In theory the Springboard SIM (trimmed) should work fine.
Any update on At&t cellphone sim working in an N7?
T-Mobile Sim tied to IMEI
I just purchased T-Mobile's prepaid data plan. There's a couple of things. When setting up the SIM, they did require a IMEI to activate the data. Without it, it showed T-Mobile as the carrier on the lock screen but never pulled data. And T-Mobile's SIM rules require that if you do prepay, you must reload/use it as frequent as not having a 90 day window between uses/purchases... otherwise the SIM will be deactivated and you'll have to do it all over again.
Hope that helps.

I think that's because, when you give T-Mobile an IMEI on prepaid, they use that to determine whether they are going to provision you a voice or data line. You can still probably use that SIM in other tablets or maybe even mobile broadband devices. Unclear whether it'd work fine in tablets or phones with IMEIs they don't recognize. They'd probably block it if you put the SIM into a phone they recognize.

The SIM they gave me was specific for their data only plans.
Nonetheless, I think the system doesn't differentiate between types of SIM until it gets activated.

Anyone tried it with AT&T yet? Thanks
Hey everyone,
Did anyone register the IMEI for their I9505G with AT&T? If so, did you have any issues with your data plan changing to non-LTE? My GPE S4 will be here tomorrow and I'm worried that when I activate it, AT&T may not see it as an LTE-compatible device and thus limit my data plan to HSPA+ or something. I know when you're dealing with unlocked devices on AT&T, they will change your date plan speeds based on what their records show the device is capable of. So... did anyone have any issue with this or am I worrying over nothing?

No. I never had any problems. I just asked for a new sim. Nothing more. I was coming from a skyrocket, took the larger sim. No questions were asked. They just got grabbed a new Sim card. Put it in and activated it. LTE workes great for me when I am in it.
Sent from my GT-I9505G using Tapatalk 4
No major problems. It was pretty straightforward. Only problem I had was that the S4 uses a micro SIM card and my old phone used a normal sized one so it didn't fit. One trip into an AT&T store and I was all set.
If you don't want to get a new micro SIM card, I guess there are some ways to trim down a normal card so that it works. Seemed easier to just go down to the store and get a new one and handle the activation in one stop.

Ah. So when you got the new SIM card, did you provide your new IMEI number? Or does AT&T still think you have a Skyrocket?
I have an AT&T GS4 right now, so I currently have an LTE data plan. I know I can just swap the SIM and LTE will work just fine. But say I called AT&T and said "Hey, I don't have that phone anymore and here is the IMEI of my new phone...", that's my question.
Does AT&T see the GPE GS4s as LTE capable in their database? I prefer to keep my IMEIs up to date with my carriers, but I won't update it if it means there's a chance I could lose an LTE data plan due to incorrect info on the I9505G in AT&T's database.
That's why I'm asking if anyone actually has an I9505G IMEI number registered with AT&T and if they had any LTE issues after doing so.

When you got the SIM, did you give them your I9505G IMEI number or do they think you still have your old phone?

After your two year contract is up, and you unlock your phone, do they turn off LTE? No. Plenty of people bring LTE capable phones to att network. If there is a problem. Make a phone call. They want your money more than they want a lost customer.

I understand that, but when it comes to unlocked devices that AT&T doesn't sell or support, like Nexus devices and, in this case, and I9505G, they sometimes have incorrect information about the phone's capabilities in their IMEI database. That it can lead to problems. But IrishPadres said he gave them the new IMEI and he still had LTE so that answers my entire question. That means that, even though they don't sell the I9505G, they still see it as an LTE capable device. :thumbup:

I just popped my SIM in and was fine. Never called ATT. I was already provisioned for LTE etc. You will only need to worry if you currently do not have a ATT account provisioned for LTE and a SIM. If you need to get a new account and SIM you may need to let them know the IMEI.
perfect
I swapped my sim out of my crappy iPhone 5 with a sim card adapter and no issues ever.
Giants,
I have my 32 gb samsung s4 since the end of 2012, however, I have been flashing a lot of roms with no issue. the problem started a week ago when the display has been broken and I changed it. Everything went okay for 3 days, suddenly, it starts to drop signal with no reason. I flashed the rom again "liquidsmooth rom" and I flashed another rom, I even flashed the modem again. I tried to search for the problem, I don't know if the brokee of my display ambact the signal or it is a software issue. Now, I am using liquidsmooth 4.4.4.
I have been testing my Sim card in other phone, it works perfectly. I have tried other sims in my phone it gives me the same issue. another thing I want to mention is that after this problem I have never get 3G or 3g+, I always get 2G or No signal.
Omar,
It's a long shot but maybe your apn settings changed check them. Not sure if it will work but worth a try.

I'm struggling with the phone I don't know if I lost it or I can fix the problem. New thing happened outside of my home I got 3g+ and some time I got 3g. However, I am outside the US, I don't have LTE over here.
Would anyone give me an advice how do I know if it's IT issue or it’s Technical issue.

I have flashed 2 different images downloaded from Google and have even tried to install CleanRom. My issue is I get LTE data and can even receive messages, but absolutely no calls in or out. *#*#4636#*#* shows emergency calls only. This same sim works on my old phone still. My APN is exactly the same as my wife's Note 3 so that isn't the problem either. Can anybody help me figure out what is going on and how to fix it. Thanks

You can cut your sim down to nano... They even sell sim cutters that punch out the different sizes.

Yeah, I have CDMA/LTE checked and have a nano sim in.
With no solution in sight, i contacted Huawei customer service and am supposed to be getting an RMA label today. They said it will ship back for repairs and be gone 10-14 days.

Are you curious if Verizon works on the 6P? Because I am on Verizon and everything works as it should. Just pop in an active nano sim.
