My use case seems really rare, I want to be able to switch between Sprint and Verizon. Sprint is working fine, and I used the NV method to SIM unlock it so it recognizes my Verizon SIM, but it connects to roaming 1x even though I know it supports the 3g and LTE bands for Verizon. I looked around in DFS evolution and I'm a bit confused--band 13 was disabled, even though it's supposed to be enabled, so I enabled it and rebooted and nothing changed, and band 4 was enabled and didn't work regardless. Any ideas? I can't flash the verizon firmware because I need Sprint working too.

Has anyone gotten LTE/3G working on the VS980 (verizon). I am trying to get it on the fido (canada) network but it only registers the network when I set it to GSM only. I have checked the bands and it is supported. There is no fault with the sim or the network since I get full connectivity on my HTC One.
I have seen some threads saying flash the GSM fix or edit the build prop but none of those have gotten me LTE. I am even fine with getting the 3G working on the device.
I switched my parents over to Cricket from Verizon today. They both have S5's. I set the network mode to lte/wdcma/gsm but it keeps going from Edge, HSPA, and emergency calls only. So I thought I'd try setting it to WCDMA only well I can't as *#*#4636#*#* does NOT work.
While my LG G2 on cricket and my iPhone 7 on AT&T sit and hold both a steady HSPA or LTE perfectly fine without issue which is the reason I switched them.
Any suggestions? Would setting to global be better? I would assume it would make matters worse.
Both phones are running MM and I haven't really kept up with roms/root/etc for Samsung stuff.
Thanks
So maybe this was a bad idea but I'm on boom mobile (verizon mvno) and thought I could save some money and picked up a sprint s7 edge on sale, I just had it unlocked and they flashed it to the 935u unlocked version. The problem is I can't connect to the verizon network, after playing around with it a bit I got it to connect to the verizon lte network but still no voice. In my meager attempts to troubleshoot I noticed I have the options under network mode of
LTE/3g/2g -->> this picks up all networks in my area (Verizon, Sprint, ATT, Tmobile, US Cellular)
3g/2g --> only shows ATT and Tmobile
3g --> only shows ATT and Tmobile
2g --> only Tmobile
So I'm thinking my phone isn't setup right to connect to cdma networks which I thought the 935u rom was supposed to do. Anyone have any tips on how i can further troubleshoot this?
Thanks in advance.
edit: Well I installed a program called 4g LTE switch and set it to cdma only and I was able to make a phone call (3g data also worked) like that but changing it to LTE/cdma wouldn't let me make a call but LTE data worked, if i leave it set to LTE/cdma and reboot it switches back to LTE only.
edit2: Maybe it's trying to connect to volte which isn't offered for Verizon MVNO's yet but i don't see any settings available to disable that.
edit3: When set to LTE/CDMA I could sometimes make outgoing calls, sometimes I would get the double dial prompt, it was very slow to switch between LTE and CDMA so I would miss incoming phone calls.
I threw in the towel and just flashed the latest Verizon rom and it's working properly.
I use Ting, and LTE is available in my area (wife's on same plan) I lost my LTE/4g after flashing Cosmic OS. I've been struggling along with 3g just fine. The phone never showed CDMA - always showed "Global" in the network settings, if I Switch to LTE preferred I lose my signal and have to reset my network settings.
I ordered the MintSIM test kit, and installed it today...and I had LTE. Mint runs off of T-Mobile, Ting runs off of Sprint.
My LTE isn't gone... it's just gone from the CDMA side of things.
Has anyone else flashed Oreo onto a Sprint networked phone and retained their LTE? Is it something with the current ROMS and Sprint?
Experiencing the same after flashing FrankenRom.
Don't get LTE with Tello but I get LTE fine with redpocket T-Mobile.
Let me start by saying that this phone works great. I had it unlocked and practically all is well. There is one issue i am having.
The phone will not automatically reconnect to LTE. My carrier does not support voLTE so it switches to 3g for calls. After a call, the phone stays on 3g and I have to manually toggle the 3G and LTE under network settings to get it to go back to LTE. My carrier uses Bands 12 and 17 and both of these bands have strong signal on the phone when connected to LTE.
I also installed the stock U1 firmware on the mobile to remove all the sprint bloat. Now this issue is the only peeve. I did factory reset it and I also reinstalled the firmware a second time to no avail. The phone did the carrier provisioning on initial start-up after sim was inserted. So I am at a loss.
I had an At&t s10+ which I sold and never had these issues and i did the very same to it as well. I was going to by the OnePlus 7 Pro but i loved the s10+ so i had to go back. It is not such a big deal because i don't make that many calls or receive so many but it is bit annoying. Any solutions?
