Hi there everyone,
I've been playing around with my roms and I've had problems with data on every rom I have given a try. I am currently using Net10 via their BYOP program, I seem to only be able to get working data on stock based roms, however, I would love to be able to use other roms as a primary driver besides stock, anybody have any suggestions on how I might resolve this issue?
I'd appreciate it a lot guys, I am at the point of utter confusion because after countless edits to the prop and other workarounds suggested around the community for adapting the phone to work with Verizon.. It appears this does not provide a solution to my carrier despite it working excellent on stock (Which should already be using the steps provided for use with Verizon?) , I have made no progress (except for at one point successfully obtaining 1x signal... Woo!) and I know for certain that many of these ROMS work fine with Verizon and Straight Talk provided SIM Cards, however, there seems to be no mention of Net10 or any possible solutions for my particular carrier since it appears to be oddball to many.

Hey everyone! As the title states, this is a thread for T-mobile users. Lately with T-Mo upgrading their towers to 4G I've been coming into a few issues. The gist of it is that I randomly can't make or receive calls on my Nexus 4, and after some research online I discovered that I'm not the only one with this problem (This is especially true with Lollipop users). I tried the 4G hack with multiple radios, after resetting my APN settings I can make and get calls for about 2 minutes, and after that my problem comes back as if I never did anything at all. I've noticed that I can get it to work after resetting the APN to default, but I can't be expected to do that every 5 minutes throughout the day, its simply unacceptable. What's worse is that I recently got into a contract with T-Mo after being prepaid for the last year and a half.
So my question to all the T-Mo users here is what ROM are you using? Which radios do you use (if you've had to)? Are you using 5.x.x or 4.x.x? Have you had encountered this problem at all, and if so how did you remedy it?
Update: I fixing my problems by flashing a 5.1.x ROM. Although I nearly bricked the phone because the gapps provided weren't written properly which caused the setup wizard to crash.
Hi all,
I've got a Verizon Galaxy S5 that's been modified to behave like a 3G phone -- 4G/LTE is disabled and the ESN has been swapped with another phone that I have (disassembled) in my possession. I've used it this way for a year or so, but my carrier (Selectel) supports 4G now, and I am looking to undo the modification. The person who made this change for me can't be reached, and I can't remember the name of the software I need to do the job.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
(I've rooted/flashed/etc. extensively and I program computers for a living, so actually doing this shouldn't be an issue once I have the tools, but my memory is failing me.)
Thank you.
To make a long story short, I need to turn Mobile Data on without a SIM card. This is a thing the Sprint (and probably Verizon?) Note 3 can do without issue, and I've been using it that way for a year. In my case, it's because of a terrible MVNO that doesn't know SIM cards are a thing, but the same would apply to phones with a bad SIM slot.
The problem is, all these ported ROMs from newer phones treat me like I'm an idiot for trying. Phronesis, Darklord, basically anything TouchWiz demands that I insert a SIM card to turn on any mobile data at all.
With a lot of command-line #&$^ery and some incredibly lucky bugs, I have determined that 3G data will activate and function properly if certain processes die. It works just as well as stock... for about 10 minutes. Then, it not only realizes it's missing its SIM, but makes sure to remember it; killing the process won't make it forget again. But 3G is there. I have proven it's in there, somewhere. The kernel and modem support it.
Meanwhile, the MM Resurrection Remix ROM posted in the Sprint-specific section works perfectly, doesn't even nag me about the lack of a SIM... at the cost of literally everything I want from a Note device. Beautiful ROM, smooth as butter, but not for me.
I've tried flashing different kernels, modems, CSCs. I've tried grabbing various communication packages and configuration from both the stock ROM and RR, with a wide assortment of force-closes as a result. I've been working on this for over a week, and don't see any way forward with what I currently know.
What I seek is a solution, wherein users of a CDMA Note 3 (and other phones, maybe) may use a ROM that normally demands a SIM card, even if their SIM slot is broken or their network is misconfigured. I believe this may be done by outright breaking the SIM check, but again, a bit over my head here. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
I have now put many, many more hours into this, and approached the problem from many, many different angles. I've established that the GSM ROMs tend to be missing /system/etc/permissions/android.hardware.telephony.cdma.xml, but of course it couldn't be solved that simply (nor by deleting android.hardware.telephony.gsm.xml).
I'm to the point of staring at the actual source code, and unfortunately all the CDMA capabilities seem to be there. It's definitely stuck in GSM mode; deleting android.hardware.telephony.gsm.xml actually cleared any mention of GSM from the logcat, but I can see that it's still calling functions that are GSM-only. I still have no idea where the switch is that determines that, but I'm about ready to throw money at whoever finds it.
Trying to copy the AOSP telephony and related APKs has so far resulted in failure, unable to even boot far enough to find exactly where.
I'm making a broad post as a last resort on this, the only two thread on it I found were dead ends.
I've exhaustively searched and trialed different roms/firmware/CSC to get my already activated verizon sim working on my SM-G955FD.
I already know Exynos has no CDMA, neither did the HTC U11 that I had for a short while, and that didn't cause me any issues with outgoing calls. the VOLTE seems to be doing a fine job.
I PM'd two people on xda who said they were using it stock with no problem, but haven't gotten any replies on what steps they took. I can't even get data working regardless of APN or CSC. It simply refuses to connect to the network. I also hate what verizon did to the settings menu on this phone. If I didn't have the GFUDP, I would have moved on a while ago, but I use too much data.
Of course I know I can get the verizon snapdragon model, but I need root. I simply cannot function without titanium and the fact that android, to this day, has no official perfect backup really grinds my gears.
If anyone else has had success with this, please point me in the right direction. tia
I've done a lot of reading on this topic and have yet to find a clear solution. It seems that others have very similar issues, some resolved and some not. There are lots of promising fixes out there but none that I have tried work for me. I'll describe the specific issue below, but first:
What I'd really like to know is if there is anyone out there still using a G900V with an AOSP rom and verizon service? Does the service work reliably? just like on stock LL or MM ? Is there hope for me to be able to use this phone as my daily? Now that I've had a taste of AOSP, I can't go back to MM or LL. The only reason I've held out for so long is that the S5 has removable batteries, is modifiable (thanks XDA devs!), and is now very cheap to replace. But could it be time to throw in the towel...?
The issue is, verizon service on any AOSP rom that I've tried, is unreliable. It works some places and not others. This is not just reception - I'm comparing to the same phone running stock MM or LL firmware, and these are all in metropolitan areas, the service exists for sure and has for years while using stock rooted LL rom. At my house for example, data works, mms, sms, and calls work (although sms are delayed). 4 blocks down the road, I only get data. No sms, mms, or calls can go out or come in. On a road trip recently and I get similar unreliability with the sms and mms. Fortunately, data seems to work most places which has allowed me to continue using RR-7 pie and not be totally in the dark.
It's similar to this issue here (roaming indicator off) and I have tried all of the things on the OPs list with 3 different CID15 phones (G900V): Different ROMs, changing APN settings, restoring QL1 EFS, changing preferred network types, different sim cards, etc, etc

My knowledge of how it all works is limited but it seems to me like there is something about the AOSP roms that doesn't allow the phone to connect to the right bands? frequencies? protocols? As I do get some of the network functionality. If I TWRP flash back to stock MM (which I have done many times) it works perfectly, everytime, everywhere.

Anyone out there have an AOSP rom and verizon service as their daily driver?
