Try the steps below for potential of unlocking Domestic GSM. Please note I have successfully connected with NET10 (AT&T) microsim. In addition, I was already unlocked for international use via Sprint OTA. I also ran the sim unlocker software. All credit goes to OP and those that have contributed to this thread.
1) Insert Microsim
2) Run sim unlocker program as described in beginning of this thread.
3) Enter "ServiceMode" menu by entering *#0011#
UMTS Main Menu

Launch NovaLauncher and create APN Settings shortcut by doing the following:
a) Long press on home screen and select "Shortcuts"
b) Select "Activities"
c) Select "Settings"
d) Finally select APNs
After shortcut is created, go into APNs and add/edit APN info. At that point you can go back to TouchWiz or stay with NovaLauncher
7) Install "Tellinfo" from play store. (This app allows you to seamlessly switch back and fourth between Sprint CDMA and GSM (WCDMA) on the fly. No need to reboot
1) Run Tellinfo app and select Device Information
2) Scroll down to "Set preferred Network Type" and choose

Ok only what I need is to use L720 to Romania,this country have only GSM Networks.
Only what I need to know is if L720 CDMA can be converted to a GSM Phone,or something like that.
And I need to know if is there any diference between L720 and I9505 ,because I had Galaxy S3 SHV-E210S and between I9305 and SPH-E210S is a big difference,E210S work more harder,it has lag.

Don't buy the sprint phone for this purpose. Buy the i9505! You will be much happier instead of having a phone that is severely crippled in its abilities when used outside the US.

hi i'm new to this and i'm not a programmer. can any one could guide me how
to setup data service T-mobile carrier?
What does this have to do with Android development? That's right, absolutely nothing!
Come on people, don't post useless messages in the wrong forum...

Hi,
You are Posting in the Wrong Forum Category, the right place would be http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=615
To your Problem: Under Settings->Wireless->Mobile Networks select "Automatic Configuration" after that you should be ready to go.
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general
Make sure you get the x10 with the right bands for Tmobile 3g, and that the phone you buy is unlocked. Pop in your sim card. You should be ready to go, that's how it worked for mine except I got the one that works on 850/1900 3g for AT&T.
If for some reason it doesn't work, you can set the APN for data manually in settings -> wireless controls -> mobile networks -> access point names and input the settings for the tmobile data plan you have: http://support.t-mobile.com/doc/tm21625.xml;jsessionid=6mJPnjzkuv_SLBEXGs
Enjoy your phone!
I am in the US using my x10 on the t-mobile network right now.
When I chose the option to auto configure the internet settings it did not work so I changed the apn to internet2.voicestream.com and that worked.
if you go to settings > mobile networks > access point names > t-mobile GPRS > apn then input the apn stated above, it should work.
That's strange on my T-mobile sim chip is simply auto configured the phone without any user intervention.
Great news is that T-Mobile's faster 3G service is starting to spread. I was randomly testing this weekend and now I'm getting 3.5Mbps / 1.3Mbps (up/down) on average.
Before I was getting 0.6Mbps / 0.7Mbps so that's a huge improvement!
This is in the Los Angeles area.
I bought this Nexus 7 3G used. When I put in an AT&T sim card from my Galaxy Note 2, no phone no and IMEI displayed, is it defective?
I doubt its defective, probably just not set up correctly.
Goto Settings then under Wireless & Networking click More.. then Mobile Networks and make sure Data enabled is checked. The you will have to find out AT&T's APN and enter that in Access Point Names and then choose a Network operator. In a nutshell, copy all the settings from the working Note 2's Mobile Networks settings.
Start with that and report back.

Did you get the data working correctly with the sim card ? If so.....
It doesnt need to be modified, just use a VOIP app like Groove-IP, its works in conjunction with Google Voice. I use it to make and receive calls on my wifi only N7 all the time.

I bought a T-mobile sim card $10 and another $16 for 8 days of use + tax. Inserted the sim card and then I did not know what to do with it and put it inside a drawer and today I got it, it said no services and the T-mobile cell no. was gone. Before I bought the sim card and the $2 per day charge, T-mobile CS said I will only be charged when I used their services. I did not used their services just inserted the sim card and now there is no services and no cell phone no. on the sim.
I registered with Google Voice and get a new number but I have not yet set it up how to use with free VOiP apps on Play Store. It is not as intuitive to make a call as an ordindary cell phone.
Hi,
I just unlocked my AT&T Note 4 and I'm using it on T-Mobile but have some questions.
1. Even though I'm able to make calls on T-Mobile network it doesn't seem to be able to connect to the data. When I shut off Wi-Fi it's not able to connect to internet. Is there some setting I need to change?
2. How do I delete all the AT&T apps? It only allows me to disable.
3. Is there any T-Mobile apps that I need to install?
4. When I go to Settings >> General >> About device >> Software updates it still displays "AT&T Software update". Is there T-Mobile equivalent and how do I make the phone use that?
Thank you.
Help!! I just got the phone and i have 2 AT&T SIM cards installed only the sim that i select as preferred data sim gets data service. Second sim card only receives 2g cellular service. which is ok other than the following 2 things. MMS messages need data service to work correctly and 2g cellular service is horrible in my building at work. I have tried manually selecting network but only available option for secondary sim is 2g. also tried manually setting up a new APN but didn't seem to change anything. my data connectivity and cellular reception flip when changing preferred data sim . so i know its not a sim card issue
I am not rooted
os = 5.0.2
build LRX22G.WW
KERNEL = 3.10.49-gaa8154f
1.16.40.763#1
baseband version = 202c10_10_10.0.0_151106
Do you have the option to set the preferred network type for both SIM cards separately?
It's under Settings > More (Under Wireless & networks) > Cellular network settings > Preferred Network Type
I only use 1 SIM so I can't see what additional options are available when you use two.

No preferred type is for both i have it selected to 4g/3g/2g i can select the network operators independently. once i search for network one sim gets 4/3/2g options and the second only get 2g as an option. AT&T and Tmobile are showing up
Hmm wish I knew more about this to help you out but I don't have any experience with running two SIM cards in a phone.
Have you used both of these SIM cards in another phone before and had them both work as intended simultaneously?
It could just be a limitation of the phone, maybe it can't have two separate 4G connections at once on the same network?
I'm just throwing ideas out there.

Well I am having a similar issue, I have a bell sim I would like to run as 2g and a koodo sim I would like to be the full 4g. The phone refuses dual active, only card selected for data connection functions; I can choose either, but only one functions at a time except for a couple minutes after switching via dual sim settings
---edit---
I forgot to mention, it activates during a call as well

The phone specs say it can only connect to a LTE/3G network on one SIM at only one time. The secondary SIM can only connect to 2G-GSM.

Given the phone specs. Your connection problem is caused by neither Telus(Koodo) or Bell have a 2G network. Yeah so the phone is pretty much useless to Canadians if you want Bell/Telus/Wind/Videotron on the secondary SIM.
I have used my phone (same model) with two SIM's (ATT and T-Mobile). You can enable data only on a device at a time, but it can be on any of the two SIM's. This is mentioned in the phone specs.
http://www.asus.com/us/Phone/ZenFone-2-Laser-ZE551KL/specifications/
Scroll down to the end note.
Other phones cannot even activate the 4G on the secondary SIM.
It's a little confusing maybe to switch the data, but it can be done - from Android settings.
Ahh, well its still a sweet phone; manually switching isn't a big deal

I want to see Phone Information for SIM 2 (*#*#4636#*#*). How do I open it? My main goal is to just set LTE Only mode for SIM 2 sometime (This is not possible in Mobile Networks page).
How do I add this option in mobile network page or open phone information for SIM 2.
I know I can manually select a 4G network. For some reason I don't want this.
