Sorry I figured it out. I was running the opera maxx data saving app and I guess that was blocking my pictures. Turned it off and not it works.

APN Editing

Hi,
I was thinking about purchasing a verizon Note3 however I read the APN for the data setting was locked out just like the Note 2 was. I am just curious is this true? Was it ever unlocked on the Note 2?

Unfortunately, we'll still need root to do this if it is locked out by default on the N3

You cannot change the APN setting with the Verizon SIM in the phone, the menu items are grayed out. However, if you put in a non-Verizon SIM the APN menu becomes accessible and you are able to add a different APN for the network of the new SIM provider.

can anybody please verify this?
also, if you put in another network's SIMCARD in the NOTE3, will you be able to do calls, txt/MMS? or only DATA?
will be traveling international this DEC and would like to be able to put in a local SIMCARD and use it instead of having to pay VERIZON extra for roaming charges..
any help would be greatly appreciated!
TIA

I am writing this with my Verizon note 3 from Ireland using a sim from the "3" network (three.ie). It works for voice, data (3g, no lte), and texts. My phone is rooted, but I don't think that was needed. So, it does work.
There is a little icon stating "non-Verizon sim", but everything works fine.

I own a Verizon Note 3 and currently I have T-mobile SIM inserted and Voice / DATA (H+ no LTE) are working great.
delete vzw apn?
I have a vzw note 3 I just switched to at&t and after much digging was able to find the proper apn for at&t. What I cant figure out is how to delete the old Verizon apn as it's grayed out. Does anyone know how to access this to edit or delete?
Is it bothering you that much?? Not sure who you could delete it but why is it a bother ??

Verizon Note 4 on t-mobile network

I've been using it on tmo since yesterday. Solid signal, very stable so far. I ran speedtest this morning and got 56 up\26 down. The speed is crazy fast.
To get the Note 4 working on Verizon:
1. Change the APN setting.
http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2090
2. Change the network mode to Global in Mobile networks (same place where you set the APN)
3. Change the voice mail number.
-Open the Phone app, click on the 3 dot Menu button, go to Settings, select Call, select Voice Mail Setting, and change the number from *86 to 123.
-I use Google Voice, so I just switch mine to Google Voice.
4. If touch tone DTMF is not working for you, try to turn of noise reduction or change the DTMF from Short to Long.
5. To get rid of the annoying SIM message in the notification. Tap, hold the message and select App Info then force close it. Do this every time you reboot the phone.
Hi, noob question here, I am also using tmo network on a verizon note 4 but I can't seem to go online... I was told to changed the Network mode to GSM but still nothing. it also says the Signal strength is -67 dBm 23 asu. Any help would be great thanks!

You need to add T-Mobiles APN google it!
Good to know. I'll be taking this bad boy to Asia next month. Sounds like it'd be a no problem sticking a new sim card as long as I get the APN down ?

how to remove Verizon bloatware
I'm using the Verizon note 4 with the T Mobile SIM card and it works well, it connects to 4G LTE, but I cannot use mobile hotspot because its integrated with Verizon's services. All the APN settings are fine but it says mobile number not found.
Does anyone know how to remove all of the Verizon bloatware? Things such as the Playstore and settings even have Verizon bloat. Data Usage tool also does not work either.
Also to note, whenever i reboot the phone a permanent notification apoears saying something like, "Sim card is not Verizon," which can only be removed if you force close the activation agent. Its annoying that Verizon left its mark throughout parts of the phone.
Is it possible to make this a Regular galaxy note 4?
(Another weird thing is that the settings menu cannot be switched to carousel mode which the T-Mobile version can do.)

I think T-Mobile sims for lte should use
fast.t-mobile.com
also make sure you do have LTE in your area.
I did it on Galaxy S5 for someone and it was fine.

To get rid of that notification, press and hold it until the App Info window appears. Hit that window then you'll go to the Activation Agent app settings. Push "Force Close" and it will disappear.
Nice and easy but the only problem is that you have to do this every time you restart your phone.

Does your phone have a clean esn from verizon or is it considered a "bad esn" (lost phone)? Just curious if they work outside verizon with bad esn.

It depends if your market uses LTE band 4. Probably though.
Also, it looks like (once root is achieved) you'll be able to add more LTE bands.
Do we lose frequencies when we use a verizon phone on tmobile? Doesn't seem to have band 12.

Shouldn't be an issue since AT&T and T-Mobile primarily use band 4. The other bands are for additional bandwidth if there is congestion and T-Mobile uses band 12 in limited markets.

Make sure the APN is correct, enable band 4, and set phone to GSM

[Q] new to verizon galaxy S5

Just bought verizon galaxy S 5. Changed SIM to AT&T from straight talk. First of all was that a mistake? When ever i leave a wi-fi area the phone goes to emergency calls only. Email and text stops as well. Can't get voice mail to work anywhere
Would appreciate any help.
Thank you
Just a thought, go to settings /more networks and make sure you have the correct network checked
New to verizon galaxy s 5

Wait... you put an AT&T sim in your phone? This is a Verizon forum. If I misunderstood, please tell me.
Just to be clear because you didn't state it in your post, you must unlock your phone prior to using a non-Verizon SIM. You can sometimes get these unlock codes from Verizon but you can also buy them online. I've used GSMLiberty.net with success before. After that, you should be able to pop in your SIM from the new carrier and begin using it right away. In some cases, you may need to manually add the correct APN for your carrier. Find these settings under Settings > More networks > Mobile networks > Access point names. Click the little plus icon in the top right and manually enter AT&T's APN information. You may need to Google that as I don't know AT&T's APN info.
I use my Verizon S5 on T-Mobile's networks with absolutely no issues, I assume it would be a similar experience for AT&T as well. For me, I put my T-Mobile SIM card in and could make calls and receive texts, but mobile data and MMS was not working properly until I manually added the correct APN information. After that, MMS, 4G LTE data and everything is working flawlessly.
You do not need an unlock code for a LTE Verizon phone. These phones are already unlocked. One must set the correct APN.
Do not buy an unlock code!
I have used my Verizon S5 with att and t-mobile.
Good luck.

thank you all
Thank you for your posts. Most of the phone works. When I leave a wi-fi area my phone goes to emergency calls only. When I go back to a wi-fi area the normal call service works again. I'm new to verizon and samsung. Wanted to use straight talk because i didn't feel like paying a fortune for service. I'll get it figured out some way.
Thank you again

VZW Phone To T-mobile - Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+

I have the Verizon model of the S6 Edge+ (SM-G928V) I want to know if it's possible to flash it with the t-mobile rom??
I currently have a T-mobile MicroSIM that i put into the verizon phone. I had to configure it with the t-mobile APN to get calls/text to work. Currently I have a few issues:
1) I can make & receive calls, send & receive texts, but CANNOT send mms, but i can recieve mms sent to me. (I tried to see if enabling wifi would make a difference but it doesn't)
2) I get an annoying message anytime the phone reboots that says I'm not using a verizon wireless SIM. (if anyone knows how to get rid of that, great. if not it's not such big of a deal)
3) How to remove the Verizion boot loading screen??
Do I run the risk of bricking or tripping knox if i try to use a t-mobile rom on a verizion phone? Or does anyone know how to resolve any of the issues i'm having? Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance. (and No, just getting the t-mobile version of phone is not an option for me)

You cannot rom that phone because Verizon nazis lock all bootloaders on all their devices. As for the sending mms you'll probably need to take it to a t-mobile store and have them sim unlock and flash their full apn. That should do it but I can't say for sure since I've never used a Verizon phone on t-mobile
So just to update: The issue with not being able to send mms messages is because of the Message+ app that was set as default messaging app (factory reset setting). When I changed the messaging app to the "Messages" Samsung app I'm able to send&receive mms with no issues. (Please note the proper APN settings must be set)
The other issues such as the loading screen and the SIM notification I'm not too worked about, but if you have any help on those that should be great.
The only *real* issues with using t-mobile sum card with vzw phone is that the service isn't all that great, I seem to have 3g in some areas where I can't send mms while on the phone, but other than that it works well on an unlocked phone.

I believe the radios in verizon phones don't cover all the band's that t-mobile uses. However t-mobile phones tend to run pretty well on Verizon so your signal issues will continue until t-mobile launches band 12 in your area, which is the primary band that Verizon uses for Lte
Samsung lists band 12 on their site for the Verizon S6e+.
Swipe left or right to get rid of the SIM message. I've posted a similar thread here too.
