Does anyone know how to remove AT&T's stupid account checker that runs when you enable the Mobile Hotspot? I have a SIM unlocked (company paid full price) SGH-I337 and I travel internationally and have SIMs for Vodafone, Bell, etc., but the Mobile Hotspot won't work with any other SIM. I'm assuming its because of AT&T's account validation. What do you guys think?

Try that. You'll need root though.

I've got a 32gb AT&T Galaxy S 4.
I unlocked it using the free and easy method via dialer (works fine for data and calling on Rogers now).
The phone works fine when tethering on AT&T sim card.
But when the Rogers sim card is in, it doesn't allow me to tether.
Is there any way around this WITHOUT rooting?

Sorry to Necro, but on Rogers ... if you have 1GB of data or more ... you automatically get tethering.
man I'm having the same annoying issue. AT&T s4 unlocked by code and I'm using it with Rogers right now. Not only I can't get the tethering to work I also don't get any OTA updates.
I get terrible 4G data signal on my job and the phone instead of dropping to 3g for better data connection hangs on to 4g.
Im on verizon and my favorite app PHONE INFO doesn't work with the lg g2

i got my Nexus 4 as a replacement phone for Tmo SG2 from t mobile. Now i am thinking of switching my network to H2O wireless which works in att network ...i know Nexus 4 must come unlocked but since i got it from t mobile...is it unlocked or tied to t mobile?? also how good is H2O wireless if anyone knows... which would be better H2O or simple mobile? i am leaning towards H2O because it works with att network and att has better network than t mobile. please correct me if i am wrong. will lte work with H2O?
i know it's lot of questions i just don't want to regret after switching my network.
Thanks in advance.

I bought Galaxy S7 from T-Mobile and switch to Verizon network, however the phone does not connect to Verizon network, it connect to AT&T and even when I try to use my international SIM card it works just fine except with Verizon.
I flashed the modem image of Verizon Galaxy S7 and I was able to get 4G LTE signal but no phone calls or SMS I tried to flash the Verizon image with no luck it gave me about the PIT file, I tried the TMobile PIT the Verizon image was larger than the TMobile partition.
Can anyone help me figure out which image or what partial image I can Flash to make the phone capable of using the Verizon phone network?
Hardware isnt compatible. Verizon is cdma tmobile/att/cricket is gsm. Been down that road. Cricket now has an unlimited lte plan for 65$ thats where I went. Best deal out there and prepaid, bill is always the same every month

There were differences before, but this isn't the case anymore, Verizon is GSM/CDMA today, and they default to GSM, and as for the GS7 there is absolutely no HW difference between the US market versions.
Can someone help me figuring which image contain the drivers/code that control which frequency the phone chip connect to.
To be more clear modem.img in android control the 4G/3G driver, what control the voice transport driver?

APN settings control data link, not voice link.
FYI I have right APN .

This is not true anymore, that changed when they started using sim cards.

Does the TMo version support all the LTE bands that Verizon has? Also, in the case you don't have LTE service, you won't get 3G at all, since Verizon doesn't support HSPA at all.

The CDMA radio on board isn't compatible with VZW voice network. This has been true for ages. VZW won't let a non-vzw certified device on their voice network because they literally don't have to. If your device supports compatible VoLTE that might work as it sends the call over GSM but if you ever lose LTE signal you won't be able to use that side of the network.

you can just flash to the verizon version without rooting the phone. Using odin.

Flash through odin doesn't require unlock bootloader. From what I have read. All four carrier can flash to each other without trigger anything.
N/a
When I try to flash using Odin, I get a message saying that the system image is larger than the partition, I tried to use the Verizon PIT to partition the storage with no luck!
