I'm on AT&T went from an iphone 6 to a Zenfone 2 (which is not "supported") but has all required hardware but couldn't get it to connect to LTE. Returned it and got a OP2 (which i don't think is "supported" either) but have full LTE.

Yes the OnePlus 2 works fine on AT&T.
I just had to swap out sims to get the Nano sim. No cost with that either.

Yes, if you live in the US, the OP2 is unlocked to run on GSM/LTE networks in the US.
I'm on At&t and just swapped out my SIM with my Moto X Pure.... I usually have to call to get it registered on their system, but I didn't even have to do that.... Maybe because I just came from another unlocked phone?
Either way, it works just fine!
I do notice a difference from my HTC One M9.... I had faster speeds sitting in my office, but the OP2 is a little slower.......But, the OP2 is faster just about everywhere else (except my house, of course)

[Q] Verizon's Galaxy Note 3 technical and general disadvantage?

Hello,
I am considering buying this phone from Verizon. I have been looking at the phone spec, and found that its technical model is SM-N900V. Is it inferior to the international model N9005 in anyway?
Since I travel a lot, will the difference in the network band prevent me from using this phone in certain countries? Can this problem be solved by rooting and installing custom rom/software?
Thank you!
I don't know what the complete differences are. However I do know it's an unlocked phone and can be used with other Sims.
I have a ATT phone and switch the Sims out on a regular basis.
You shouldn't have any problems traveling with this phone.

No problem at all. Just change the apn settings after you insert the sim and you are good to go.

Really? SO since we are in a Verizon thread, I just want to make sure. If we bought the retail Verizon Note 3 and have a Verizon 4g SIM in it, we can remove that, put in a ATT SIM, change the APN settings, and it will work on ATT network? Calls and Data?

Correct. hspa but not LTE I haven't seen LTE yet but then again I haven't tried an ATT LTE apn either. I believe LTE is on a different band anyway.
But it absolutely gives people in my contacts the impression that I'm calling or texting from my ATT phone. It's sweet.

Thank you for your reply. This definitely make me feel a bit better if I need to change carrier in the future.
In the mean time, can anyone here with technical knowledge tell me if there is any disadvantage in choosing Verizon's N900V over N9005? Especially for using them outside the US?
Thanks!

s7 edge is having trouble with TMobile's LTE mobile data

So I recently purchased s7 edge g935fd from Taiwan. The phone was working fine there in Taiwan. When I came back to the States, however, the phone seems to have trouble connecting TMobile's LTE mobile data. The LTE goes on and off , no matter where I am. The phone still says that it is connected to LTE even when the data is not loading. I tried to reset the APN setting but no avail. I also tried that sim card on my old ASUS Zenphone 2 and the LTE worked fine so it is probably not the sim card's fault. The weird thing is that I can still call, text, and even use 3g network, it's only LTE that is not working properly. Anyone got a solution to this?
Have you gone to settings>mobile networks and checked if it's set to auto connect?
I took off unlimited data from my account because **** sucks here In Aurora Colorado. Isn't worth an extra 20 a month when I got WiFi at home and at work. Plus 2gb free is cool with me. Still got bingeon
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk
I used to have a note from Verizon Unlocked, but seems they've done that on and off signal quite a lot. Since their phones from T-Mobile have everything pre-installed, you can't even delete or edit their APN.
That's why I got a phone with then GS7E works like a charm.

Oh well. Like I said even with that sht I can NEVER load a video on Netflix on my lte, I would miss flights before this crap loads. I like t-mobile because it's the only one that's "good" in my area if t-mobile is "good" I don't want to know what's bad. That's cool it works for you. But I rather pay $55 a month for text talk and 2gb of free data

I have a 935FD on TMO and never have had a problem. I actually have a 935T also, just made sure the APN's matched. The FD however, has never shown an LTE icon although it shows connected to LTE in settings. This could be to being rooted and running a custom rom. But to your main question, again, I've had no issues.

Yes, I bought an International version after realizing it would probably be some time before the 935T got root. From what I understand, and don't quote me on this, but the international version of just about anything is compatible with TMO or any other GSM network. The Note 7 should be just as compatible as my 935FD is with TMO.

Do you get wifi calling with the international version? It also seems Samsung won't honor the warranty and SquareTrade won't as well since Samsung isn't.

No, and that is the only reason I've kept my TMO version is for the wifi calling. If the buildings where I work weren't blast proof we would have cell signal inside them. Since we don't, the wifi calling is our only Option, besides landlines of course. For all these reasons we're talking about is why I'm looking at getting an HTC 10. I'm getting tired of all the Samsung lock down on stuff.

Lol that's the exact problem I have at work there is absolutely no service in certain parts. It's pretty sad for T-Mobile. We're basically forced to get there version.

Unlocked LG G6 US997 Won't Activate on Verizon, Advice Needed

I brought an unlocked LG G6 to Verizon store today to get it activated and they were unable to do this. It appears I have 3 options:
1. Return device to bhphotovideo.com. Not sure what their return policy is.
2. Switch from Verizon to T-Mobile. Live in Silicon Valley close to San Jose, California. Their network is probably fine here.
3. Get an imei from an Android device with nano sim. The Verizon tech person said if I had a friend or family member with this they could get the unlocked G6 working on Verizon. Trouble is that I do not know anyone with an Android phone with nano sim. My old G4 used micro sim. The friends and family members have either iPhones or older Androids with micro sim.
So I could really use some advice here.
And in addition let this be a warning to anyone trying to get unlocked devices working on Verizon. I had read elsewhere that Verizon was now more friendly towards unlocked devices, but this was clearly not the case in my experience. Perhaps this is one reason Verizon is starting to lose customers for the first time in its history.
Cut your old micro sim to nano size put it in the G6 and fire it up. Then your new G6 will work and be in the Verizon data base.
Than sometime go in to Verizon and get a new nano sim. I have been down this road with unlocked phones and its not LG it is Verizon.
If you want to use the old G4 again you need a nano to micro adaptor.
I am using the US997 G6 from BH right now but my old phone used the nano sim so I just had to swap it out. Works perfect so long as you start with a Verizon sim that is already activated.
Earlier this week I activated a new SIM/device with my ancient Galaxy S3 IMEI and verizon sent me a 3-in-1 card that I punched down to the nano size cutout. Which allowed me to put my US997 on the network.
By the way, can you share if VoLTE, WiFi Calling or Video Calling work?

I would like to know the same thing! Thanks
I got this phone all I did was take my sim out of my iphone put it in the g6 and boom it works. Verizon has no idea I have this phone. Lol
Update: got the LG G6 working on Verizon after all. We had to make sure the LG G4 is powered down in order for the activation to complete since the G6 was replacing the G4 on Verizon. And boy do I feel like an idiot for not knowing that. Surprising most of the Verizon staff did not suggest to do this.
I received mine and activated it yesterday. VoLTE works perfectly. No Video/WiFi Calling though. I love this phone! No bloatware!

Are there any other differences between the US997 model and the Verizon VS988, other than lacking wifi calling? (I don't know anyone who actually uses verizon video calling, iphone people use facetime, and as android user I'd always just use duo, hangouts or skype)
How do you tst if VoLTE is working?
I'm also curious about this process. I've done a lot of searching, but haven't been able to find a direct answer yet.
I'm considering buying a Sprint G6, then unlocking it to use it on Verizon. Is this even possible? Obviously, they're both CDMA. And appear to have the bands necessary for Verizon. But I've had trouble in the past with unlocking Sprint devices to work on Verizon.
Any insight is greatly appreciated.

VoLTE worked out the box for me on Verizon. I just inserted my SIM and checked, and it was enabled. WiFi calling does not work on most unlocked phones, and the US997 unlocked edition is no different here. Video calling through the carrier does not work either.

That's great news that you got most of the functionality working, OP. Do you happen to know if the phone was factory unlocked? Or was it tied to a carrier, then unlocked afterward? Again, thanks for any additional info!

Unlikely to work. Stick with the unlocked version, model us997. Keep in mind Verizon sometimes blocks phones from their network that have the necessary hardware, like the ZTE Axon 7.

If you want OOB compatibility, the device must be certified through Verizon's Open Development process. See below.

Axon 7 is just like Moto X Pure or this us997. They are unlocked with Verizon's bands. Stick an activated sim in them and they will work.

This is old. And only one build. I went through that. They fixed it right away. I had the phone since launch. MM was great out of the box, 7.0 had a hiccup with service, GSM sim after the update fixed it on 1st boot, then you could put your​ CDMA sim back in.
If you buy the device now, the 7.1.1 build will work out of the box.
If you look through the zte forums people have had a lot of problems getting the Axon 7 to work with Verizon. Anyway, I am glad to hear you got it working all right. I like the Axon 7 a lot but was not willing to go through the extra effort that others reported to get it working. And some people could not get it working at all, not a risk I was willing to take. I blame Verizon, I do not think they are supportive of unlocked phones.

Verizon Certification - Missing?

So according to this CNET article Verizon network certification is not complete.
That is a problem for me. If it doesn't get Verizon certification, it is of no use to me.
https://www.cnet.com/news/essential-phone-ships-after-two-missed-ship-dates/#
Got this from their support today:
Thank you for your question. We expect to receive Verizon certification soon. Though it is not certified by Verizon, it does work on the their network. You will need to make sure you are using a NFC nano SIM for full functionality. Have a great day.
Sincerely,
Emily

I'm using a Xiaomi Mi Note 2 on Verizon right now and it works fine. I have VoLTE. No Wifi calling though. I'm 99.9% sure Verizon never certified this phone.
What I should have said, is that if it doesn't work right out of the box, it's no use to me.
When I got my Nexus 6P you had to jump through a few hoops because you couldn't get a SIM card.
You had to have an existing active phone.
is it really an issue though? just swap the sim from your phone into that one and it will work. only issue comes from if you don't already have a phone with a nano sim or can't use a buddies phone to help. yes hoops like that suck but it had to be expected that verizon would take way longer than everyone else.

Only if it doesn't work when I drop in the SIM.
I have a Nexus 6P and I've been through the whole thing about phones not being certified.
Sometimes, though, not being certified, also means not working.

It's actually really good. I was running Resurrection Remix on it so pretty much stick with some tweaks. I get all the LTE bands on Verizon and have VoLTE. I get good data speeds. The battery is really good. Overall it's a nice phone. It's just hard to go back to bezels after having a Mix, a G6 and an S8+. This was just supposed to be a serviceable phone to hold me over while I waited on one of the current crop and it's done its job well.
I got my phone on Friday and used it fine right away. Today Verizon service stopped. Put my SIM back in my Pixel and everything is fine. Switched twice, no Essential, Pixel fine. Anyone else have a similar issue?

I had a similar issue the other day. It just suddenly started working again an hour after I factory reset. I would say don't touch the network settings or use the 4636 menu. That's when I started to have issues.

just lost my verizon service on this phone within the last hour or two. sim works fine with the pixel xl.... not good

So I was hoping to switch to Verizon from Sprint after I got this phone. I guess I have to wait for certification since I don't have a Verizon sim?

T-Mobile OP6T dual SIM question

I ordered the 6t from T-Mobile website and will have the phone next week.
Would really like to see what we can get with the dual SIM difference. Is it just the SIM holder that's restricting the dual SIM or is the actual circuitry different.
If it's just the holder, then flashing the global room for the 6t should enable the dual SIM functionality.

From what's been said by others (And confirming myself with the T-Mo model in hand), there is only one IMEI number assigned to the phone, and thus I doubt the dual sim functionality can be made to work at all.

Also... As some mentioned in the other thread... We can't flash the global ROM on the tmobile device.. There's some specifics to the modem that can't be changed.
Dual SIM might be an issue but custom rooms/ports based on then global version will not be an issue at all once bootloaders are unlocked after the first month.

Can someone with the 6 see if the dual sim tray will fit the 6t and pop in two Sims that work on the T-mobile network? This worked with other phones with single imei so it might work here too...

You should be able to flash the unlocked version of OOS once your device is unlocked from T-Mobile
We should be able to but the official line atm is that due to modem specific changes the global version cannot be flashed on to the tmo variant..also due to this the tmo variant won't be included in the Oxygen is beta releases..lastly ppl are saying that the tmo variant doesn't have a secondary imei for the 2nd SIM slot that is disabled/not present..in order to confirm any of this we need a tmo variant bootloader unlocked..we likely won't see any developments till the 2nd month of the phones release.

You're phone is SIM unlocked from T-Mobile..to unlock the bootloader u need to request a token unlock from one plus before u can experiment..which they say will be sent after requesting in 7 days..or did OnePlus already send u the bootloader unlock token. SIM unlock is simply one requirement in order to request the bootloader unlock.

What about the the new 600Mhz crappy spectrum (Band 71) on Note 9 is a joke not FULL LTE only 4G and like -500db this is absurd so I need to know if the T-Mobile version is only software (modem) or the change something to the CPU or wait to someone extract the modem of the T-Mobile version and flash it to the Global Dual Sim and done.

Without knowing location I can easily assume that:
1.) -500dB means you are stupid far from a tower that's using said band
2.) ...because you're so far from said tower you will not get optimal speeds
:good:

1 is a exaggeration joke because honestly I doubt T-Mobile say the total truth about Band 71
2.no not far but their network is not very reliable now what they did not know but for now in wait

Use the app Cell Mapper & look on your desktop PC for the site with the same name.
It'll give you a look at where each band is deployed.
Band 71 is still sparsely in use, I'm guessing less than 10% of all T-Mobile towers have it

I already use few ones to check it. right now I using OP 5T with T-Mobile and Att (dual sim) honestly with T-Mobile got few hiccups on the road here and there I do test with both but the Att Signal is strong all the way I ever go with T-Mobile I got HD Voice and voLTE (no need buy the phone from theirs the services are SIM Card provided) but Att have it if you bought a branded phone from theirs.
I will wait few months more I don’t think T-Mobile will stand near Att yet.
