Make US Cellular S4 work with AT&T

Sorry for the "stupid" post (maybe) but I thought the S4 had built in radios that would work with different carriers?
I have a US Cellular S4 but need it to run on a GSM AT&T network. Does anyone know if I can flash the software or what to do to make it work?
Many thanks in advance

I wanted to know what carriers the At&t S4 would work on also. I think it works on T-Mobile but its GSM. Will it work on any other carriers? Is US Cellular GSM?

VZW G2 compatibility with GSM

The spec sheet for the Verizon G2 say that it's capable of both world GSM and CDMA, but someone said that it wouldn't work on any other network. Can someone confirm this? I really want the Verizon one because of wireless charging and lack of tabs in settings menu, but it's no good if it won't work.

I think it is GSM unlocked but for outside of the US only. And BTW the tabbed settings layout is configurable on all versions.

For the settings, I figured that one out today, so I might just go with ATT. They rooted it flawlessly and plus ATT has the lowest price. Apparently they found it extremely difficult to root the VZW at first because there were no drivers for VS980.

I might be getting the VZW version because I live outside of the US too and my carrier works on 3G 900Mhz and (correct me anyone if I'm mistaken) the AT&T version does not support that band.

Verizon works in the US and is SIM unlocked. Using metro and T-Mobile Sims now as I test out their networks......
Edit: let me also point out you have to add the apn if you want data. You don't have to call Verizon or anything. Just plug in the SIM card of your choice add the apn and you are good to go. This has been done on all verizon LTE phones with SIM cards as long as the phone supports the bands of the network you are trying to use.

Drivers weren't the issue. It just took a while because people didn't realize you had to select "Ethernet" as your USB connection mode. Takes a single tap and you can use the driver that comes on the phone.

[Q] G2 usage in Japan

Anyone has tried using the G2 in japan before with a bmobile data sim?I am going japan in November....

I haven't traveled with mine. However, if you check the thread for unlocking, you can unlock the LG G2 for around $2. Then you can check KDDI, Softbank, and Docomo's bands online and see which is compatible. My educated guess is that you'll be limited to HSPA + and Softbank will work since they use GSM.

oic. sorry but what do u mean by one can unlock the G2 for $2? which thread are u talking about? TIA

Hello,
I'm not sure which model LG G2 model you have, but all GSM versions are very similar other than primary radio differences. Assuming that you don't have an unlocked version, you can unlock your device for $2 at www.unlockcode247.com .
Once unlocked, you can use it in Japan on any provider that uses a SIM. You'll most likely be limited to HSPA speeds. In fact, the Engadget review was done on an unlocked LG G2 in Japan.

[Q] T-mobile G2 in Canada

Hello Community,
I recently purchased an unlocked t-mobile G2 for use on the Bell and Wind network.
Im thinking of rooting my device to enable the ability to uninstall all the t-mobile bloatware as well as the carrier IQ software.
I have two questions:
1. Being a tmobile phone on a Canadian network - should tmobile push an update, will I receive that or will I have to wait for my provider to push it?
2. I assume rooting the device will disable any hope of receiving and update regardless of US or Canadian carrier?
Thank you in advance for any comments.

Um tmobile won't work on the bell version, you can make calls but not 3g. ...it Will work on wind tough. ..
1. I don't know
2 . yes

Thank you for the response, However I must disagree with your initial statement. I currently have the tmobile G2 on Bell and I am getting 4G/LTE service.

Hmm I wonder if it works the other way around then. ..I didn't think Pentaband was unlocked on this phone I'll try with one of my friends wind cards on my Rogers g2

US996 On AT&T?

Is anybody using the unlocked us996 non carrier branded v20 on AT&T? It's missing one of their lte bands and I'm not sure if I should get it to use on AT&T.
