I have a ATT s4 with the screen completed cracked? My friend has a s4 sprint that he is selling. My question is if i buy the s4 sprint version and swap my att motherboard to the sprint will it work?

No. You will run into issues with connecting to the network. You will spend half the money on an AT&T full screen assembly.

Most likely no, you will have to get an AT&T model.

I thought AT&T and T-Mobile S4's were identical just different bands.

My theory is it would still have connection issues. I could never wrong so someone please correct if I'm wrong
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
Though they are identical, it is still best to always get OEM parts for your specific model number. The assembly is part of the antennas. The antenna lengths will vary per provider to connect to their respective networks. Any change or variations of antennas that are not exactly correct to the providers standards will greatly hinder cell signal performance. Also, the motherboards are identical but the back housing and front screen assembly of both will more than likely be different with how the antenna connects. Like I said, just get an AT&T one.

Man that's pricey, I am glad there is a definitive answer however at that price, samsung definitely fixes it cheaper.

The tmobile screen will work without issue. I exchanged my atts scratched up screen/housing with that of a tmobile s4. No issues with connection at all. Other than a damn shinny new screen

I'm going to buy the AT&T S4. I was wondering if I can get it unlocked since I'm playing the no contract price.
Or if there is any way to unlock since I plan to use it on tmobile in a few months.
They'll probably have you fill out a form after 90 days.

Not true you can call them and get the unlock code. Ive done so from overseas with the s3 since I paid out right or you can purchase an unlock code.
This was done within 90 days of purchase for sure.

Buy an active signal booster (ie a cell phone signal repeater).
Call your provider and compplain about coverage in the area.
Hold your phone 'right' lol.
Usually if you get bad signal in one area and good in another not much can be done at the device level to get better signal. You can try to use different bands and such but most times it wont help. Search for AWS on i337m to try, but I would guess it wont help.

The only thing I've been able to do about little to no signal is buy a repeater. I bought a zboost yx540 (I think that's the one I have lol) and went from 0-1 bar of EDGE to 2-5 bars of 4G. I've also done signal tweaks with the app android tweaker pro and it seems to have helped.

Buy an Evo 4G LTE on Ebay and activate it. For some reason Samsung didn't include SVDO in the S4.

Lol. I have an EVO LTE and a Galaxy S3. No need to go back to those. NV is going on where I live so I'm not to worried. Was just wondering if it was something the devs here could change.

Its not possible to change it since its a physical thing on the phone. Not software.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Okay. I never knew it was a physical thing within the phone. That's good to know though. Seems like Samsung or Sprint would have included this.

As long as you activate the SIM on the AT&T or international variant that you have, you didn't specify, it will work. I do not think you will have LTE though.

It should come for free with the purchase of the 60$ plan. Check our your nearest att store. All the stores around me give it for free.

I get choppy digitized audio on Wi-Fi calling. I've just accepted it as normal. It isn't a deal breaker
I just consider it an "if all else fails" type of thing since the quality is so poor. I wonder how much less radiation the phone puts out though.

WiFi Calling drops within 5 minutes
I have been searching all the forums for any info on this. I saw one post earlier, but it seems to have been removed. It showed a specific setting for un-checking router re-checks. I can't find the setting on LG G2. My problem:
Had an HTC One S. It never woke up with WiFi calling enabled, huge problem. Went to the LG G2, wakes up perfectly but after a few minutes (.30 to 7 min) it drops the call. All new WiFi hardware and I still get drops. 7 different calls with tech support, even changed the SIM to the one that came with the phone. There's a trouble ticket in. Hope it actually gets to LG.
More times than most, the upgrade/tweaking of the radio are the last of the updates the put out. For this...I would pay whatever the bounty is on this, now. Just get it Fixed!!!
