Hello-
Does anyone have Verizon working on their G4?
I'm in the US but cannot seem to get it to work.
I get a 3G signal and can make calls and text but cannot get 4G. It also drops out constantly saying I left the home network.
I can go into the hidden menu settings (#*#4636#*#*) and select the radio band as United States and I will get LTE. Works great but won't be able to make any phone calls or send texts as it complains the mobile service is not available.
When I change the radio band the APNs all change as well. I figured I could just edit an APN to make it all work but I don't get an option to edit or add an APN.
Thanks for any insight anyone might have.
Happy new year.
Working here, the network is crummy, but it's 4G for sure

Any tweaks you had to make to get it working?

No of course not, it works perfectly out of the box. Sounds like you got a bad phone, bad SIM, or just bad coverage.
Did you get it to work? Rumor is it works best with an already activated sim card from another phone. I put mine in and it worked instantly. I get 4g LTE in AZ with Verizon Prepaid. Just got off the phone with my sister. LTE seems to drop when making a call so if you're forcing it, it might be causing the call issues.

The reason to use an already activated sim is because verizon did not want to support phones on their network they had not tested (or sold I'm sure). My Amazon G4 worked without problems straight out of the box. I would try a different already in use SIM anyway. If it doesn't improve service, reset phone and try again. Also if the sim you have doesn't work after happening to get the phone working this way, you"ll need to use that SIM in a Verizon phone first. Then put it back in your phone.
Also, are you on stock? I had 4g LTE on stock, and LOS 14.1, but on OMNIROM 8.1 I only have 3G which could just mean it's APN issues. Maybe switch to a more configurable ROM like LOS 14.1, and edit the APN settings? Rooting Omni atm to see if I can edit those apn settings.
edit: rooted and edited the APN settings to match stock, still stuck on 3G. Not sure what to do. Putting the sim card into my other stock G4 shows LTE.
edit2: missed a bunch of apn stuff the first time around
Reverted back to rooted stock copied everything from:
(adb shell)
content query --uri content://telephony/carriers/preferapn
loaded/rooted Omnirom8.1
updated as much info in default APN to stock as possible ... back to full LTE speeds!

In Omni ROM you were able to edit the APN settings?
In RR everything is greyed out.
Also, the sim I have is an already activated working sim from a Verizon phone.

Tried LOS 14.1 like you mentioned and still was unable to edit the apn settings. No option to add and everything in the apn is greyed out. I tried the adb shell command you gave above and this is the output I get. Don't know why there isn't any permissions to write the apns.

Hey sorry, really busy these days.
The command only works if you have root.
adb shell
su
content query --uri content://telephony/carriers/preferapn
Note: content also has create, delete, and update.
example for changes: (xxxx is the id number from your previous command)
content update --uri content://telephony/carriers --where "_id=xxxx" --bind bearer:s:"0"
Magisk 15.3 rooted both stock and Omni8.1 for me. Even with root the APNs were grayed out for me too.
**Note: This is my Verizon Prepaid stock APN, yours might be slightly different if it's Verizon postpaid**

I'm back on stock as I'm about to travel and stock functions the bestt with txts/calls/and internet atm.
VZW Prepaid doesn't like this phone, and won't allow setting VoLTE on the website. On stock LTE drops for phone calls but then comes back on.
From what I can tell, Omni8.1 has 47 APNs for 311480 and they weren't bouncing around right, messages wouldn't send on some APNs, LTE only worked on certain ones, a phone call would drop LTE and it would come back on another APN at 3G (but then the messages would send) and then take 10 minutes before going back to LTE, user selected default APN would drop back to the first one the system loaded. Couldn't get it right no matter what configs I put in. the two main APN _ids for Omni are 1541 and 1551, if you want to look at what it's doing.
If you data ever drops and comes back on a ROM with multiple APNs, that content query command will tell you the current APN you're on.
I'm on vzw prepaid mvno with a retus XT1625 no problems. Live in a rural area with only vzw towers and I buy service through puppywireless.

Thanks. I figured out how to edit the apns now with the commands above but nothing is working. Still the same. I just dont understand how I can get 4g if I switch the radio band to US but then loose any phone service.
Are you on the XT1625 version? What baseband are you on?

Does the baseband get updated each time you flash a ROM?
Mine appears to be on a much higher version. Does the one your on work with android 7 and up or do you have to flash it before going to a different ROM? Sorry I've been out of the ring for a long time. Thanks for all your help.

I tried to take the Android 7 update but I forgot I was still rooted at the time, so it failed. If you have a copy of your current modem, you could try downloading my version and fastboot flash it and see if it works.
Found the link: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images#
Although I always thought newer was better. When you do a speed test what Mbps are you getting down/up? Where I live in Mesa, AZ I average ~30down/~20up, currently around Riverside County, CA
getting ~12down/~8up.
Good luck!

So I flashed the modem using these commands:
$ fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
$ fastboot erase modemst1
$ fastboot erase modemst2
$ fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
but after rebooting the bootloader it shows the same as before. I'm on M8952_70030.25.03.64R ATHENE_RETUSA_CUST
With 3g the speeds seem like normal 3g speeds. But it cuts out all the time and so does the cell service. Now if I change the radio band to USA then 4G works and the download speed is around 30 mbps. But the cell service is not there, can't make any calls or send texts.
Just an quick suggestion to try out Lineage OS 14.1 maybe. I've noticed quite a bit better performance on VZW towers with lineage compared to the stock rom. Got full LTE/talk/text no problems on my prepaid sim ($10/mo). Stock ROM would drain my battery in 8 hours if set to Global, but lineage has no problems on Global.

That was happening to me on Omni8.1. LTE around 30 down, but no voice/text. Do you have just one APN that semi-resembles the one I posted earlier?
There's a few more stock roms here [found in a random xda thread], if you can't go back, maybe you can go forward:
https://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto G4 (Plus)/Stock/XT1625/
**no idea if they're legit or not**
I like Dogzpaw recommendation on LOS 14.1, like CM before it, it tends to be easier to customize than stock.
Also, have you check logcat and logcat radio for any clues?
adb shell, then:
logcat -d > /sdcard/logcat.txt
logcat -db radio > /sdcard/radio.txt
Recommendation: It's a lot of machine data to sort through...
kill wifi, kill data
you can clear the log buffers with:
logcat -c and logcat -b radio -c
toggle on data and wait for 3G
then repeat the original logcat commands with logcat2.txt/radio2.txt
exit the shell and adb pull them to your computer for easier analysis.
filter for lines containing: NetworkManager, NetworkController, ConnectivityManager, ConnectivityService or MotoNetwCtrlr
Might give you some idea of what's going on.
Feel free to post them, (check for personal data to redact first) I'll have some free time on Tuesday to help look at them.

at mypuppywireless I'm getting 250 min, 250 sms, and 100MB data for $10 a month.. if I ever go over (rare) then it just eats into the $10 cash balance I loaded over a year ago at a rate of $0.015/MB. Good stuff.
Ok so I use @jrkruse guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/how-to/root-s7-s7edge-oreo-nougat-t3819616 to root my SM-G935P on Oreo and it works great but I cannot get LTE working, Now when I rooted my phone on Android N with @godpowerrr tutorial https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-s7-edge/how-to/sm-g935p-spr-root-nougat-7-0-data-t3568780 and do the build.prop tweaks I get LTE working fine. I have tried to add the same build.prop lines to my rooted oreo phone with no success would anyone happen to know where to find the settings in the build.prop from android N in android oreo?

LTE on Oreo
Try this. Go into your phone dialer and enter this secret code:
##3282# (puts you in programming mode)
Click edit.
For the MSL code, put "000000" and press OK.
On the main screen, go to MORE.
Then click HDR/1x Selection.
On this screen, select Global then press OK.
The phone will restart and should enable LTE.
Hope this helps.

If Global doesn't work, go thru the process again and try the next 2 settings.
Unfortunately I have tried that and it does not work for me.
@DirtyPISTOLA This is a step you might of missed and has been throughout my thread. (Apn settings need to be applied after eng boot is registered) I implemented these settings through a .bat file in device system/etc folder, but doesn't work for all. So if you apply the eng boot through ODIN...and upon reset... Edit APN settings through mobile networks, being;
Name: APN2 LTE Internet
APN: n.ispsn
MMSC:http://mms.sprintpcs.com
Multimedia message proxy:68.28.31.7
Multimedia message port:80
MCC: 310
MNC: 120
APN type:default,supl,mms,dun,fota
APN Protocol:IPv4/IPv6
APN roaming protocol:IPv4/IPv6
Bearer:LTE
You should be able to run SuperSU .bat file and hopefully that'll fix it. If not it's a firmware issue.
I'm not sure if this works for oreo because I no longer have this device, but these are settings needed for LTE. Like I said idk if Nougat's LTE is different from Oreo's LTE.
Build.prop entries:
ro.characterisitics=Sprint
ro.telephony.default_network=10
ro.cdma.default_numeric=310120
ro.cdma.default_alpha=Sprint
ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=Sprint
If this doesn't work try SM-G935U firmware with exact settings and steps, but change MNC: to 000.

Awesome thanks for the reply, I just upgraded to a new update that wont let me downgrade because of security policy updates as soon as SamMobile posts the firmware so I can restore if something goes wrong I'll give this a try. Thanks again.
Glad I finally found this thread, which firmware should I be on if I want to root this thing? Thinking of flashing Boot Loader 6 though again not sure.
Hey hey, I need to dig up this ghost here, cause I rooted a Sprint S7 Edge and put a verizon SIM in it, I don't have an active sprint SIM so I can't test it out, but the verizon SIM isn't getting any LTE, it just shows roaming, and no MMS messages can be downloaded. I may or may not have messed with some settings.
So, I can't edit the APN settings it's locked out. How can I either a. unlock the APN settings, or b. get it to recognize LTE networks without doing that. I've tried so many different things I've found on the forums, like nova launcher menu and going into the IOTHidden stuff to get into LTEfunctionality and that's not even there on the phone.
We're running OREO, but I just don't know what the deal is. Any ideas?

Even with the inactive sprint SIM I am given options for APN settings, I can't edit or add any, but I do have options, whereas with the Verizon card it's all frozen out
