I need confirmation, please.

Hi to all. Thanks for this community, my problem is: I have Samsung Galaxy S5 Verizon SM-G900V but I use it for different carrier and I have a problem notification message Phone activation: This SIM card is from an unknown source. Can anybody confirm is it just my phone have a problem or any Verizon phone with different carriers. Thank you.

Verizon is a world phone. Your sim card is from another gsm carrier. It's just warning you that the sim card doesn't belong to verizon. GSM will work just fine. All verizon LTE phones are unlocked

Yes it's working fine but i have small problems. I cant send IMEI code it says Connection problem or invalid MMI code. I can turn on native hotspot (I know provider is allowed me tethering) it says Mobile number not found. I really want to hear from people with same model and different carrier if they have same problem. Because if not I can still change my phone. Thank you.

If I were you I'd change my phone. The Verizon variant is probably the least ideal for your situation. Go with t-mobile or possibly even international version. That way you can actually root it and you may even avoid these issues as Verizon phone is pretty specific to Verizon, world phone or not.

I am looking forward because sometimes I travel to Ukraine and they don't have good internet on GSM even 3G just 2G. On CDMA version I can have better dial cell number and better internet.

I don't understand why? I can wait for root it not critical for me and later use like CDMA in Ukraine. Is it T-Mobile and international can work like CDMA. Sorry for my dumb question because transfer from iPhone and new with Android and phones with OS.

I am also wait for announcement.

Is this possible? Can I put another ROM version (like international) and "transform" the SM-G900V to SMG900H for example? A friend mine have a Verizon version and is living in Brazil... The Verizon version dont have the portuguese language... And the carrier Verizon isnt present there...

I have an S5 in Brazil from Vereizon
I got my S5 to work in Brazil, 4g network and all the only problem i still have is this message of THE SIM CARD IS FROM AN UNKNOWN SOURCE but so far have not noticed any problems with the funcions on it!!!!
Can i get this message away?
And i can relate with the person on the last post, the phone does not have Portuguese as a language to choose...
for me is ok but I understand that this is a fluke by Samsung(all phones should have most languages already in it)

Android Pay in the US using an international SM-G935FD

I have a stock (no root/nothing custom) SM-G935FD (dual sim edge) that I use with a single AT&T postpaid sim in the USA. I never had issues activating android pay unless the phone was rooted using a credit card with a US address. Now anytime I try to add a credit card on android pay, I get the error message that android pay cannot verify the integrity (or maybe compatibility, cannot remember the exact error message) of my current rom and doesn't let me activate. I know I used to get the error message on the rooted phones but all stock (no knox tripped etc) phone shouldn't give this message right? Btw, I tried this with stock UK and Arab Emirates roms (the latter is the original rom that came with it). There is no US based stock rom for this variant.

Seems like there is some sort of root maybe? Not sure but I've only seen that happen when there is root. I have root and Android pay and it works. Of course I set it up before I rooted the device.

no root at all. Stock rom refreshed from smart switch just to make sure it is OK. That's why it is so random.

Is your display set to "Condensed?"

Yes, it was. I can't believe that this was the issue. After going back to normal, the card added just fine. I will give it a try at whole foods to see whether it will go through and let you guys know.
Thanks. That's why I love Xda forums. There are definitely some knowledgeable people around

I don't really use Android Pay now that I have Samsung Pay, but I remember for giggles I tried to setup AP and got the same thing. Took a few days but yeah, wish Sammy would fix that... then again, the display scaling feature is hidden on my device.

I assume you have a US S7 Edge to be able to use Samsung Pay, am I correct?

Yes, but I believe there are certain CSC's that support it.

Which CSC's? I tried BTU (which is UK) and the original AFG with no luck. I don't think you can combine the AP file from a G935F with a CSC file from a G935T/A/V? Can you?

Could i install another firmware (rom) instead of Verizon to s7 edge?

Hello Dears;
My cousen was bought S7 Edge from Verizon to me. I am living in Turkey. (Europe) And i would like to use rom with Turkish language.
As i know, all s7 edge phones selling with exynos processor in Turkey & Europe. Also they have different rom than USA.
I just want to install new rom which has been using on Europe. Could i change it? Is it possible or not?
Why not? / Why yes? Waiting for your answers. Thank you for all supports...

Not possible. Biggest reason, all European (actually anything not from North America or China) S7's are Exynos variants, all US (including verizon) ones are Qualcomm. Different architecture, different kernels, different ROMS. But aside from that, the Verizon one (same with all US ones) are bootloader locked, with signature checks on flash, meaning if the ROM isn't signed by Verizon (or maybe by specific Samsung keys) it won't flash on your phone.

Thank you very much _Dennis_ for your perfect answer. I just need to be sure one more thinks;
* When i try to open my phone, i see verizon logo on boot. Are there any way to possible not see to that logo?
* The phone is giving "SIM car is not from Verizon Wireless" notification on all restarts. Also i don't want to see this notification automatically!
* I would like to use HD Voice feature but i couldn't As i understood, i need a Verizon Wireless account to enable this option. But i don't Do you know any way to open this option without Verizon account. Or any way to create account on Verizon Wireless without Verizon number. Because of we just using Turkish carriers gsm card on Turkey as well.
Thank you for your all supports and answer again.

1: No, you need to change the boot animation for this and that is not possible without root.
2: No, again root is needed to modify system files. Or open a Verizon account.
3: Again no, you need a Verizon account to create one and a sim card to use their HD capable network.
Sorry for all the negative answers but that's the way it is with a locked phone and not on the phones network. #2 is a bit silly because the phone is network unlocked but they still do this to us.

He means a bootloader locked phone. You can still have a sim unlocked phone, which you do, with a locked bootloader, which is preventing you from changing the things you want to.

It doesn't matter if it's carrier unlocked it's still Verizon branded. Like I said it's silly but that's the way they operate. We need it bootloader unlocked and then all these annoyances can be fixed. Until then we are stuck with what we have. Your only other option is to sell the phone you have and purchase one for the carrier you are currently on. Other than that you will have to put up with the sim card message and no HD calls.

You are welcome. It's definitely not worth the loss of so much money. For the difference you could probable buy a nice used unlocked phone off Swappa. Good luck.

Incoming call phone number wrong format

I have updated to Verizon Oreo from 930U and the incoming call has "+" added for every phone number non existent in contacts . Incoming number format +9999999999.
Using non-verizon sim. With 930U no issues.
Phone country settings is set to US with no option to change.

I didn't notice any change but looking in phone settings and settings app, I don't think you can change it. Also a G930U would not have gotten the Verizon update for G930V. I assume whatever you manually did to change between the variants caused this (ie stock Samsung rom versus Verizon rom)

Seems like this is a known issue for using verizon phone (apple, android) on GSM sim card. Even tried verizon custom hybrid ROM still issue persists. Went back to 930U.

Yeah so as I said it seems it's a Verizon change to the ROM. I've always had this format as far as I can remember and don't use a GSM sim card. CDMA/LTE with Verizon SIM. It's probably part of the SystemUI.apk or Phone.apk so if rooted you could try using another but such a small thing (also why don't you like the universal format out of curiosity? I live in the US and only call +1 numbers but I like it )

It doesn't add +1 just + before the 10 digit number.

That's not true.. It adds +1, the US international prefix. The 10 digits after are the US phone number itself

Using the same SIM that my Verizon S7 came with (from Verizon). Your OP makes no sense. You are or aren't on a U variant? You are or aren't rooted? You are or aren't using a Verizon SIM? Either way I feel like this is more applicable to the custom rom or variant you are using. On Verizon roms at least what you are saying just isn't true. Don't mean to be mean, I just don't think this is the forum for your question. More applicable to the general QA or the thread for whatever ROM/sim you are using that gives differences.

Did you understand my problem and read from the S4 link posted in my previous post which has similar issue. Problem is when using a GSM sim on Verizon S7 with stock rom. You are using a Verizon sim in Verizon phone so you don't have issue. I am using a GSM sim in Verizon S7 hence the problem. Don't make conclusions without understanding / testing.

Will a Verizon S10+ work on AT&T?

Thinking about trading my iPhone for the S10+, but the S10+ is a Verizon device. Will it work on AT&T?

Yes it will work but it would be advisable to flash AT&T firmware.
And it is unlocked.

If it still works like the s8+ when you insert the att sim and restart it downloads the att device build. I factory reset it and it even had the att boot screen and all features worked.

Did you reset your phone? It may have changed, but worked for me.
Its been a while so wasn't sure if a reboot fixed it or if I factory reset it. I do know I bought the s8+ from Verizon then moved to att used it for a while like that, then realized I wasn't getting updates. So that's when I started messing with it. I know after i got it fixed i had the att boot screen as well as all att features.

I have one that was purchased and still financed on Verizon and worked initially with a tracfone AT&T network sim. Then I went to sell it to an att customer and when their sim went in it pops up a message that says call verizon to change carriers on this device. Anyone else?
