Long story short...
I had a LG G2 .. I cannonballed into a pool on vacation (sober ) .. the G2 was in my pocket ...
It swam with me for a half hour .. it no longer works.
A co-worker has an un-used SGS 5 from MetroPCS ..
Can I provision\activate the sgs5 on the verizon network ?

OK so here is the story. I was recently helping my mother move, about 2 hours away from where I live. I have 5 phones on my ATT plan. 3 of these were there with me (mother, brother and mine). The other 2 phones are Galaxy S III's. They both had 4G and I had R ( i assume that's roaming). I am currently running stock 4.3 rooted with .84 radio. Before my N4 I had a SGS II and I never saw roaming there. So why am I roaming and they are not? I am going back there this Sunday, anything I should try so that I am not roaming? Any input is appreciated.
The N⁴ doesn't have the best antenna. My wife's Note 2 gets better reception than my Nexus 4.
You've got a SIM card, bro. Switch to your old phone when you go out in the sticks. That is, if you still have it.
I recently bought a sprint lg g2 on swappa. I wanted to have it activated on some sprint mvno. My friend has a g2 and his was activated fine on red pocket. But when I tried to do it it says INVALID_RESELLER: Invalid Reseller. Does anyone know what this means? Are there any providers that I can use this phone on?
i have had the verizon s3 work in global mode dge only tmobile
ive had the verizon s4 work in global mode hspda+ tmobile and att h+
ive had the verizon note 3 work in global mode on tmobile and h2o aka att mvno
all have had good and bad imei with verizon didnt seem to stop them from working altho 1 out of the 5 or so s4 phones just wouldnt get signal had to force wcdma mode we never did figure out just what was wrong with it as i switched over to h2o and it wasnt doing that issue anymore
since then ive kept my h2o att mvno simcard
been using 2 verizon s5 phones mine bad imei verizon after got on craigslist
and my wifes intentionally known was bad but bought anyways since we knew the darn thing would get signal on our h2o
now.... i got sick of my s5 and wanted to go back to note3
so i got a note3 happy happy joy joy and i was about to sell my s5 to a friend who knows the circumstances and was going to use it on tmobile
when we turn the s5 on verizon onn with tmobile sim it displays tmobile for 2 secs and then no signal ?!?!??!?! insert my h2o simcard wha la everything is perfect
im afraid its being blocked from tmobile use altho my friend has a in contract sim account and ive read that maybe it needs to be used with a month 2 month tmobile sim but i dont have any clue as to if this is true seems nonesense that an account type would matter insert friends sim in 4 other s5's idk if all of the ones he tryed were all bad imei tho or not but he said he hasnt had any luck trying to find a s5 its the reason i offered mine in the first place
im stumped is verizon sharing imei with tmobile do i need to worry about h2o not working later
been using this devices since aug just fine on h2o and still works on h2o just fine but tmobile doesnt seem to work apn or not global mode or any other mode
i havnt tryed phone info samsung and the secret code menu to force a specific band only but im thinking it still wouldnt work
long story short i see tons of people saying it wont work bla bla some saying it needs a carrier unlock and a bunch of people saying thier s5 verizon works just fine with tmobile so
im super sad is my verizon s5 just a att phone now or what the heck is going on here
now im wondering should i keep it and sell my beloved new note3 i dont want anyone getting screwed with my phone but i hate the task manager button !! i want my note3 but would need to sell s5 everyone wants tmobile no one wants att lol
i need to know DOES ANYONE HAVE A BAD IMEI VERIZON S5 WORKING ON TMOBILE IS THERE A CHANCE ITS A DUMB SIMCARD ISSUE ? NEEDS A MONTH TO MONTH PREPAID SIM NOT A INCONTRACT LEGACY SIM PS MY FRIEND GOT A SIM REPLACMENT 3 MONTHS AGO TOO HE SAID I GUESS THE DAYS OF CHEEP VERIZON UNLOCKED GLOBAL GOODNESS IS OVER
Hey Everyone,
My friends girlfriend dumped him and gave him back the phone he bought her for Xmas last year verizon s5. He gave it to me because my nexus just broke. It works fine with my tmobile sim, but would it be best to just sell it and get a tmobile version? Only thing that bugs me a little is the Verizon sim activation notice when I restart the phone and sometimes data will hop around 4G lte, h+ and h.
Purchased a LG G2 a few years ago only to find it crap reception - South Korea variant.
Binned it in favor of a LG G3 D855 .. Figured it covered every band ever used .. ( Including the cancer causing 2300Mhz band ).
Using an Optus Australian 3G sim card offered great coverage at home but crap reception in Sydney, were as my sons s4 and wife phone had far better reception. Figured I had the best phone of the bunch I went out and purchased a 4G sim card ( My phone was the only one of phones that had the 4Gx .. 700Mhz capability ).
The still had crap reception .. by default it uses the lesser Edge network and refused to the better 4G network .. Network settings were of no use .. Forced to dial 3845#*855* got into rat settings and tell the phone to use LTE and CDMA .. resloved the issue . But must be done every time I restart the phone ... I Love the G3 .. But ?
