I am traveling to Israel and want to buy a local (Orange network) SIM card to use in my Sprint Galaxy S4. What settings, etc. do I need to change; what do I need to do other than inserting the new SIM card?
There's a guide for international unlock. Search before posting please.

Wow, the procedure in that thread sounds awfully complicated. Is that really needed?
Yes.

I do believe you, but doesn't Sprint claim they can unlock it and then you just insert the SIM card?
You need to.have sprint for 90 days and have good standing. Means up to date with your bills and no problems. Their unlock doesn't work 100% of the time.

I've had Sprint for years and everything is 100% up to date.
Is it worthy trying their unlock first? How can I tell if it works or not? And then if not, go through this procedure?
Sorry to sound ignorant, but I am.

Call the international department and tell them you plan to go to Europe soon so you need to unlock the phone. They will send a update to your phone. You can check by setting a international Sim or even an ATT or Tmobile Sim into the phone. If it shows "no sim inserted" then it was not correctly unlocked.

Thank you. I will call them. Do you mean that I can insert the international Sim and even though it won't work in the US, I'll be able to tell that the unlock worked?

You mean Asia,not Europe
One additional question for you patient souls: once I've got it all unlocked with (hopefully) the sim working correctly, can I just leave the sim in the phone and switch between the CDMA & GSM modes or do I need to actually remove it when I return to the US and back to Sprint service?

The Sprint sim is required to receive LTE so yes, you must put the Sprint sim back in and reset your APNs for Sprint.

Thanks. I've been doing a lot of reading about the Spring S4 with international Sim and see a lot about needing to manually edit APNS to get data and that one needs to be rooted to do that. Is that so? I am not rooted.
There are apps in the play store that can add the APNs for you automatically. Not sure if you need to be rooted to use them though. Search the play store for APN apps and the descriptions will tell you if they require root or not.
I've received 2 updates already since last weekend. Anyone know where to see the content of these updates? I've attached a screenshot showing my new build version.
No updates here yet on the t mobile version? What carrier are you on?

No carrier. Unlocked international version.

Can you see if the update fixes the Multi-Tasking Bug?

Better than S6/Edge. Still present though, around 7-8 apps is where it cuts off. So yeah, not too bad unless you are the type to keep everything in the background.

But after update I've lost name tags of my contact list ... strange and weird ... :/
The contacts names are displaying in contacts app but messages and call logs are not showing contact names ...
FYI. Update for the LG G6 on T-Mobile.
Yup I just got the same result after manually checking.
If your screenshot of the software info is after update, then I already have this update. Manufacturer date of the phone is 3/17/17.
Yeah mine is up to date.

K. I did check manually for an update a few times before (and today) and it didn't say anything about it being available so it may be a smaller pool of people that are getting it.
Anyone knows the update notes ?
Just got the update
What is the update, anyone know?

Howdy. And welcome to GSM land.
Unfortunately no G6 for me. Still paying off my G5 and no one wants to buy it.
Mi Mix is a nice looking phone. :good:
If anyone's got a connection for bad IMEI G6 or something let me know. :fingers-crossed:
Any reason not to take this update? Don't want to get locked out of being able to root later on.

I don't think it will affect whether we get root or not but I have noticed my battery life isn't as good after this update. It was much better with the software that the phone shipped with.

Rooting will not unlock the phone. You need to stay with Sprint for 50 days to be eligible for unlock. If you are planning to reuse on a different network, better return the phone.

If you can't put another SIM in the phone from Verizon, T-Mobile, etc and have it work; it is not unlocked.
The guy that sold it to you lied.
