Hello!
I was wondering if anyone could please help me with an issue I am having with my HTC Trophy (locked for Verizon)
I am looking to unlock it to use with a Trinidadian SIM card for when I return home, but it is prompting me for an unlock code when I put the phone into GSM mode. It says "This SIM card can only be used on specific networks. Contact your customer service center for the unlock code"
On Global Mode it also says locked/PIN required, on CDMA it does not show a carrier but will prompt me over to Verizon customer support to activate the phone (which I do not want to do)
I called Verizon; they won't give me an unlock code and the Unlock-code eBay the sellers I have contacted said it MUST have a 14 digit code; but I only have 13...
I am attaching a photo of the information of my phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
photo link (no space between http) http ://c1205.hizliresim.com/x/c/5nlrq.jpg
Check the inside of the phone, under the battery to see if there is another digit to your IMEI.. it has 14 digits in your photo.. so I don't know why you'd think there was only 13 .. that's the number you need.
I wonder if anyone knows a good service for doing this on Trophy 7 for Verizon. I know mwang has his security unlocked to use his on T-Mobile., I wonder if he used a service?
Verizon will normally provide you with an unlock code if you have service with them, and you tell them you are traveling internationally.
Ah sorry I meant the eBay unlock code sellers told me I would need a 15 digit, not a 14 digit IMEI to unlock this dual CDMA/GSM device. However I found a seller that was able to do it; r.ebay.com/FYDQfX
and now; SUCCESS img: e1205.hizliresim.com/x/f/5tm57.jpg
Also to clarify; what was causing me grief was that by dialing *#06# gives you the MEID, which starts with 'A' and to my knowledge is not used to unlock a dual CDMA/GSM device.
IF you press *#06# you should be getting 17 digits.
You can also check the Settings sections in mobile, that will also show you the IMEI number, or remove battery from the phone, it should be printed on white sticker.
Thanks
Just used an unlock code from the eBay seller mentioned in the above post; worked perfectly! The only issue I'm having now is that I'm only getting Edge wireless. I set it to use 3g and GSM on my HTC Trophy using a Straight Talk sim, but it just connects to the Edge network instead. The APN I'm using is att.mvno
Any suggestions? I know the Verizon Trophy supports HSPA+ 2100MHz
Did you ever get 3g on your phone Fad?
Yeah, try this. Go to the market, HTC.. then download/install "Connection Setup." Run that app and set it to whatever carrier you are using. That should get everything up and running for you.
If you still aren't getting 3G data speeds, check Straight Talk's coverage map and see if 3G is offered in your area. Straight Talk uses AT&T towers in many areas, and I know in my area... 3G is a no go.
Thank you so much for the response!
I did a lot of reading on the HTC Connection Setup app, and it should help those that are using T-mobile or AT&T, however, it does not have a Straight Talk profile, which is the carrier I'm using; apparently it doesn't work with .mvno APNs very well.
However, they have been bombarded with Straight Talk customers asking for support, and it's only a matter of time before they add one, supposedly.
I've spoken with a few other HTC Trophy users and all of them were also able to get their phones unlocked, but they could only get Edge data as well. Hopefully the connection setup app will help them!
Try contacting Stiaght Talk for the apns. They should be able to provide them to you... Then post them here. ;-)
Well, unfortunately the HTC Connection Setup app does not allow you to manually edit the APN. It only allows you to select a preset one and as I said before, they do not have a Straight Talk profile as of now.
The only editing you can do on a Windows Phone without an app, is just the actual APN, Proxy, Port, Username, and Password. You cannot edit the MMS APN settings sadly enough.
The APN settings for Straight Talk are the following:
APN: att.mvno
MMS APN: att.mvno
MMSC: I'll have to edit when I have permission to post an http link
MMS Proxy: 66.209.11.33:80
Max Size: 600
Leave the rest of the settings blank, this has worked on other smartphones for full data speeds and MMS compatibility.
I have since factory reset my HTC Trophy and tried connecting to Straight Talk and AT&T with data above Edge, this was unsuccessful; a reset will not fix the radio. The only thing I can think of is that when HTC and Verizon pushed the Mango update on the Trophy, it changed the radio since it is suppose to support AT&T's spectrum. I purchased an HTC Titan on eBay and am now using that as my phone; I'm getting full HSPA+ speeds. The only issue with Straight Talk on Windows Phone is the MMS APN settings, I cannot receive picture or video text messages since it cannot be edited.
Hopefully HTC will add a Straight Talk profile, or allow its customers to change the settings Manually within the App.
Good luck to anyone with an unlocked Trophy, I cannot get above edge data or MMS working on Straight Talk.
Oh, you don't need an app! As long as you have Mango or above rom installed, you can edit/add the apn by going to Settings=>Cellular=>add APN button at bottom of screen.
You cannot edit the MMS APN, only the data APN by doing that. As I said, this will enable you to get full data, but you cannot get picture or video text messages until we can fully edit the MMS APN.
Oh, hrm. I wonder if there is a way in the registry? Let me look at the Verizon packages and see if I can find the registry settings. There must be a way.

Okay, I think I might have found a way to make MMS work on Straight Talk using manual editing. You will need a fully unlocked phone with registry edit to do this.
First, download and install Connections setup. Apply AT&T settings (I'm hoping this will give you the full set of values you need to edit).
Now, open up register editor and navigate to: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\ShortMsg\MMS\Profiles\ATT
I'm not sure what values to edit to what. If you find the equivalent AT&T settings vs Straight Talk, you should be able to figure it out.
I'm wondering if we can edit Connection Setup similar to how it was edited for Interop unlock for HTC to add additional carriers to the list. The new version of Connection Setup (1.15) seems like it has selection for carriers then 1.14A (the version that worked with Interop) and 1.14B (the secret rerelease that was released after interop unlock). You'd still need an unlocked phone before hand, but it'd be much better then nothing at all.
If I knew anything about making xaps, we could make a xap to apply the settings once we confirm what works.
As for Verizon radios possibly being the issue, if you have an HSPLed phone, I have a radio thread and anyone can try EVERY radio to find one that works (I'd start at the newest and work your way back).
Trophy supports only 2100MHz UMTS. You will never get above Edge speeds anywhere in North America.
I unlocked my HTC Trophy for use with AT&T. Works fine but if using the phone to call someone, it shows up on their caller ID as "Private Number". Have you managed to get it to show the real number? If so, could you email me how you managed to do it? Many thanks.

SIM unlock code
It appears that ebay link in this post is not valid anymore. Can someone recommend me reliable online service for unlocking my verizon SparkW. I am confused a little, because it seems that according to experiences of other people, unlocking phone this way is not successful every time. Is there another way for SIM unlock (except asking verizon for code...)
I want to know if there is anyone else with the same problem as myself to try and troubleshoot, identify, and hopefully fix the following problem:
History:
I had an unlocked Nexus 4 on Straighttalk (on ATT's network by swapping out the sim from the nokia e5) from Feb. 2013- Dec. 2013 and had no problems with data or sync. In late December of 2013 I saw that Straighttalk was selling ATT micro sims again with 4G LTE compatibility so I decided to buy one (even though 4G LTE is not on the Nexus 4 without root) just in case I ever decided to upgrade phones. I activated the sim, updated the APN settings, and all data, mms, sms, and phone calls were working.
Problem:
Data was working (tested by using the browser and Facebook), but there were sync issues with all my google apps: gmail, keep, calendar, browser, etc. After a month of troublshooting, I've figured out that I get intermittent data signals, which is causing my google services to not sync properly. I have narrowed it down to a couple of things that are possibly causing the intermittent data:
1) The new APN from Straighttalk is not working properly for non-4G LTE phones
2) The new APN settings don't allow background data
3) The new sim card doesn't work properly with my phone
Solutions That I've Already Tried, and They Didn't Work:
- Tried every possible APN setting on the XDA Developers forums and the internet
- Tried using the "old" apn settings
- Tried using ATT's apn settings
- Factory reset
- Flashed .48 radio
- Tried to CM11 with the newest radios, older radios, and hybrid radios that enable 4G LTE
- Unroot, locked bootloader, and flashed factory image downloaded from the Google developer's website
A couple of other notes:
- I tried activating a Tmobile micro sim to test if it were my phone, but everything worked perfectly with Tmobile so I know it isn't the phone (I wish I had tried this before factory resetting, rooting, and going back). If I switched to the Tmobile sim, all my problems would be fixed, but my biggest problem is that the reception for phone calls was horrible so I want to stay on ATT's network
- When I turn airplane mode on and then off, all my data syncs properly. But who wants to manually sync every time they unlock their phone? At my job replying to emails in a timely manner is extremely important so my data not syncing properly is not ideal.
- Sometimes when I unlock my phone, the data tile in the swipe down menu is orange. Indicating a bad connection
- All my phone calls, sms, and mms work fine
- When I unlock my phone and open the web browser, it sometimes takes a while to start loading the web page. Similarly, when I manually load my email (in the gmail app by swiping down) it takes longer than normal.
- When I send an email, it takes a while to actually send
- With this new ATT micro sim, the network is no longer called "Home" (like it was with the other sim), it now has "AT&T". I'm guessing this has something to do with me not being able to switch back to the old APN settings.
My current APN Settings are:
Name: Straighttalk ATT
apn: tfdata
Port: 80
MMSC: (insert new straighttalk mmsc, I'm not allowed to post urls and this is a url I guess)
MMS proxy: 66.209.11.33
MMS Port: 80
APN Type: default,supl,mms,admin,internet,hipri
I'm running android 4.4.2 with the .98 radio, or in other words simply stock android.
Ookla Speedtest: 5.25/1.13 mbps and 160ms ping. It does lag when doing the upload portion of the test (i don't know if that's significant)
And everything else is left on default. If there is anyone else with the same problem let me know and I'd be glad to troubleshoot and if there is anyone that would like to help me with troubleshooting it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have the exact same issue as you, only on a Nexus 5. I had a 2 year old StraightTalk Sim in my Nexus 5 with no sync issues at all. I ordered a new Sim card from Straight talk to get LTE on AT&T. Since using popping in the new Sim Card I experience sync issues with Gmail when the phone screen goes into sleep mode. If the phone screen is on and I send myself an email from a secondary account, it appears immediatly on my phone. As soon as my screen goes to sleep, sync stops working.
On my old StraightTalk Sim, I used att.mvno for APN settings. On the new StraightTalk SIM I use tfdata for APN Setting. My new StraightTalk APN settings are similar to yours except for APN Type. I'm using default,mms,supl,agps,fota,dun,hipri,entitle as instructed on Android Central in these screenshots - forums.androidcentral.com/google-nexus-5/334715-straight-talk-lte-t-sim-nexus-5-sweet-2.html
Called straighttalk customer service and they told me if I swapped Sims I needed to delete the old StraightTalk APN and re-add it back. Didn't fix my problem.

I experience and observe the same situation. I too tried to go back to a ST ATT sim w/ an att.mvno APN. I had an old sim card I hadn't used that had instructions saying use att.mvno for data. I transferred my number to it online but the final instructions said to use tfdata. I guess all AT&T sims going forward now activate under tfdata for data.
When u tested the T-Mobile sim, was it a straight talk sim, a postpaid sim, or a T-Mobile mvno sim?

After days of research it seems it is Fast Dormancy that is the culprit. Some carriers support it and others do not. Some phones have it enabled by default and some do not. It looks like the Nexus 5 has it enabled by default without a way to disable it...unless you root. These posts outline the issue and seems to offer a solution if you're willing to root and change build.prop.

A straight talk sim (using T-mobile's network) worked perfectly fine for me. In the end I switched away from ST and I got added to a friend's tmobile plan and saved a ton of money and I haven't had a problem with syncing since then. It is obvious an APN issue from Straighttalk, unfortunately.
I kinda want to avoid T-Mobile coverage so I did some back to basics tinkering and got my phones notification delay down to 3 minutes. I deleted all the pre-set APNs and created a new one using STs websites recommendation. The only difference from the previous APNs was I left the APN type field blank. No default,supl,mms. Surprisingly data worked, as well as MMS. Then I installed push notification fixer and changed the poll time. I put mobile heartbeat to 2 mins, and WiFi heartbeat to 1 min. I restarted the phone and for the past couple of days my notifications have been coming in w/in 3 mins. It's not the most instantaneous but it works for me.

I wanted to report back since I was experiencing this same issue on a Nexus 5 on Straight Talk AT&T compatible 4G SIM. I originally had a non-4G AT&T compaitible SIM from Straight Talk (for the past 2 years) using APN type: att.mvno in the APN settings (other settings were exactly what Straight Talk suggested on their website). This original sim was a full-sized sim used in a Galaxy S (original model) with no data issues whatsoever. I purchased a Nexus 5, cut this sim into a micro sim and expererienced NO data issues on the Nexus 5.
After my current minutes ran out on this sim, I ordered a new Straight Talk AT&T sim card because the new ones support 4G. When I popped the Straight Talk AT&T 4g Sim into my Nexus 5 I had to change the APN type from att.mvno to tfdata to get data to work. I INSTANTLY started having issues for the entire month of service noticing that my signal bars were orange 90% of the time I checked my signal. I tried numerous suggestions (factory reset, delete/readd APN, installed Push Notification Fix and Data Connection Fix apps and chose 3G instead of LTE in data settings - which seemed to work but only for a day before reverting back to data issues).
I'm now at the end of the month on my 4G ATT Straight Talk sim and with 1 week to go I decided to add 1 month of service to my original Straight Talk ATT sim (which is 2 years old and using att.mvno for APN type). As soon as I popped the old non-4G ATT Straight Talk sim card into my Nexus all data issues were resolved. I removed all the "data fix" apps and changed my APN type to att.mvno. I've been using the non 4G ATT Straightalk Sim card for 3 days in my Nexus 5 with no issues at all. Signal bars are always white and my google services sync instantly when a new email, Google Voice text, calendar event come in. Of course, I do not have 4G but at least I have pretty fast hspa speeds - which are faster and more prevalent in my area than T-mobile.
I can only speculate but there was a short span of time that ATT stopped allowing STraight talk to seel their sims. When they started allowing stratight talk to sell their sims again this is when STratight talk started switching everyone to tfdata for apn type. I suspect that ATT has increased the TCP idle time for MVNO's so they dont hammer the ATT network and affect direct ATT customers - but like I said that's just this guys opinion. I hope straight talk fixes this issue for those folks using ATT 4G sims but in the meantime, if you have an older sim, smoke em while you got em.
Op said he tried all apns on xda. I suggest this, keep the tfdata apn the same as straight talk recommends, but make the apn tfdata 1. All else the same. The only time I get delayed notifications is on Miui on wifi. Hope it helps.

So, I will start by giving information that is hopefully relevant.
I moved from Verizon to Straight Talk w/ a Straight Talk SIM card for Verizon towers. My phone is rooted, and bootloader unlocked (15 emmc).
I am currently using a custom ROM CM13 (Official Build Nightlies current ROM is from 4-27-2016)
I started Straight talk about 1 week ago, and ported my number over to ST with a sim card I bought from Amazon for Verizon Towers.
When a person starts ST they give you a free 5 day trial, then you start your monthly payments. Everything was fine during the 5 day trial, I HAD data and it was connecting at 4G/LTE speeds (Mobile Network Icon displayed "Verizon"). Then, when the trial ended and my refill card kicked in, I lost all data connection. Absolutely NO internet. In fact, the mobile network icon in the status bar (pull down menu) displayed "No Service," I then called ST customer service, they were able to get me connected but only at 3G speeds (However the mobile network Icon still displayed "No Service." I have coverage in this area I live in for 4G/LTE as I used it in this area for 2 years when I was with Verizon. The CS rep (who was a supervisor) then tried to get me connected at 4G. Long story short, they could not get me connected, in fact I lost data again. (I should mention that at this time I can still place and recieve calls as well as send and receive text messages.) The CS rep then contacted Verizon and now they are sending me a new SIM card. My question is, What is the difference between the CM13 Unofficial VS Official Build? Could this be affecting my DATA connection? The unofficial builds can be found in the Galaxy S5 Verizon Development Threads. Can't remember where I found the official builds, but is the official Cyanogenmod site. I do have the link, but I don't have enough posts to show. Could I possibly be using the wrong ROM? Or is it something on Straight Talks side? Or have I missed something? Could this problem be a symptom of using the DEV Bootloader unlock method for Samsung 15 emmc? I would appreciate some insight on this. I should be receiving my new SIM hopefully in a few days or by the beginning of next week so I can update more when that comes. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Response is very much appreciated, unfortunately for some reason these APN settings do not work, ("No Service" is displayed with no signal bars under the mobile network icon in the pull down menu from the status bar) I have tried other various APN settings from random forums, and youtube. None have worked. Maybe my SIM card is corrupted possibly? I guess I will have to wait and see when Str8 Talk sends me my new SIM card. Will update/post new info when I know more. Thanks.
funny you should say that, today I don't have data or a signal at all (at work). I'll report back if that changes at home later today. It could be a sim issue or just a straight talk issue.

Interesting, glad to know I'm not the only one in this situation. Thanks. I will be sure to update this post as well when I know more. Thanks.
so the way I finally fixed it was to reload CM13 and use the last APN to edit with my settings and not delete the others. Don't know why it mattered but I'm up and running

Yeah, tried editing the last APN as you suggested, still nothing. However I can connect to the tower (still with "No Service" indication) to receive phone calls and mms. But still no data. My new SIM card arrives in the mail 2 moro. Hopefully that is the issue.
If you're unable to edit the APN settings, I'd think that it was a faulty SIM card. Keep us notified, I'd be glad to help if possible.

Well, I am able to edit my APN settings, just the settings I have tried from XDA and other random forums/youtube/etc. just have not been working. As I have mentioned I am receiving my new SIM from Str8Talk 2moro, so hopefully a faulty SIM is the issue. Thanks for all the responses everyone, and I will keep everyone updated.
This is what worked for me. I am running daily CM13and been very happy. I edited the last APN entry and it saved fine.
Name: Verizon Internet (name whatever you want)
APN: TRACFONE.VZWENTP
MCC: 311
MNC: 480
APN Type: default,dun,supl
APN Protocol: IPv4/IPv6
APN Roaming Protocol IPv4/IPv6
Bearer: Unspecified
The rest is empty or default
MMSC on mine says "not set"
SOLVED
Well received my new SIM card. Apparently the old SIM wasn't letting me connect to the towers. Old SIM card displayed "No Service" under the Mobile Network icon. I called CS they activated my new SIM. New SIM card displayed "Verizon Wireless." However I still wasn't able to get data. They then escalated the ticket. After I hung up the phone I tried these APN settings:

These worked, not sure if the previously mentioned APN settings would of worked as I did not try them with my new SIM card. It could very well be that those APN settings would of worked too. So, long story short I'm thinking the original SIM I used became corrupted somehow. Not sure how that could of happened but everything is functioning properly. I then called ST CS and had them close my ticket before they made any more changes to my account from their side. Thanks to all who replied to this thread.
Thought I would provide another update... For some reason the APN settings for TRACFONE.VZWENTP stopped working today. Called straight talk and got data working again using the VZWINTERNET apn setting. So weird. Not sure why I'm updating this thread but I thought it was important? LOL probably not, because straight talk seems to be a Sh** storm. LOL IM GOING CRAZY!!! Weeeeeeeeeeeee
APN not working for me
Hello, I had straight talk last year on my unrooted verizon samsung galaxy s5 and had no problems with the apn settings. I rooted my phone about 2 months ago using this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370. Today I decided to reactivate my straight talk service and I have tried multiple apns and none of them seem to work. Also the apn on this forum wouldn't even save on my phone. Any idea on what i should do? Maybe I need a new sim card?

Update, i finally got my data working. I had to use a new sim card as well. I am currently using the verizon CDMA sim card that came in the byop pack. Been having some issues receiving text and mms messages tho and the apn used is what is on this forum since it is compatible with the sim without making any changes.
Have GS4 using on Straight Talk VZW towers but have been unable to get 4G working 3G is doing ok. Was changing apn settings to this post and also noticed that i am unable to input manually the APN type....options being (Internet+MMS) (Internet) and (MMS)
may be a bad sim as well but just wanted to chime in and see if anyone had run into similar issues.
Thanks in advance!!

I would just try to talk to Straight Talk about it, it could be the sim card, or it could be the phone number you currently have. I just reactivated my service hoping no one else had my number but they did which had ended that person's service, which was why i was having a difficult time receiving text and mms. Now that i have a new number and used a new sim card everything works fine. I also can't manually change the Verizon apn but so far i have no need to change it.
Same issues but I have a Galaxy Sky Pro. Straight talk and verizon towers. Tried changing APN, NO luck. It will only let me change my APN, NOTHING ELSE????? It is a straight talk phone???? HELP!
I'm on the Canadian carrier Koodo, I'm having an issue with editing APN settings on any OS update passed 9.0.5. The settings are greyed out. It's not a carrier issue I don't think as this only seems to happen when I install an OS over 9.0.5. It definitely happens on 9.0.6, and I have yet to try on 9.0.7. Is anyone else having this issue?
Did you ever figure this out? I'm having a similar issue with not being able to change apn settings.
Yep. I just add a new apn. You can't edit the existing ones but you can create new ones.
I never figured it out. APN settings are still greyed out on new 9.0.10 update. I can't add a new APN either
Grayed for for me also, even if I try to create a new one. In fact I can't even make a new one because I'm unable to edit the name field. Quite disappointing because I'm currently unable to receive texts
Grayed out apn here as well
Can't find a fix anywhere

Fixed mine.
First off I'm on straight talk
When I set the phone up originally I used the Verizon sim cuz the coverage map looked better than the other networks. Well no mms, texts, or web, grayed out apn. Messed with it for 2 days before saying screw it and going out and getting another sim kit. Got home set up the T-Mobile SIM and boom! Phone works perfectly. My guess is it has something to do with the cdma network and the phone not wanting to accept it...just for testing purposes I put my friends actual Verizon sim in and it did the same thing then the wife's att sim in and everything worked just fine. Op6t doesn't like cdma networks
