Hey all,
I bought my Droid DNA as an unlocked Verizon one, but use it on the Fido network in Canada.
I have no idea if I should use the VZW or GSM roms. I tried both and cannot seem to find a difference.
Anyone care to explain?
Thanks!
Simo
vzw is for on a vzw network which in return still uses a form os cdma lte and in canada and most other places and carriers use a Global Service Mode

I'm not 100% sure, but I think you have to trade in your "old" phone when you sign up.
Yes, it will work. It comes SIM unlocked and works in Global Mode. You can get an app called advance signal status to mess with the radios if needed. Otherwise, HSPA+ should work without any issue right off the bat with the right APN.

Hey guys. I'm giving my unlocked T-Mobile S5 to my buddy on Verizon. Is there anything that flat out won't work with Verizon or will be problematic?
Also, is there a way to remove the T-Mobile bloatware and either make it Verizon branded?
Thanks guys!

I'm not sure if the TMO variant will work on Verizon's network at all. Does Verizon allow for unlocked phones on their network? Do these variants have the same band support? Will a GSM phone work on a CDMA network?
So I'm switching from verizon to T-Mobile after this month and I was wondering what would be the best way to flash the T-Mobile firmware and get rid of the verizon firmware?
Firmware is not the problem. TMO & ATT have GSM radios, Verizon & Sprint are CDMA. Your Verizon S5 *will not* connect to the t-mobile network no matter what firmware you are running. T-mobile probably still has a very generous trade-in program.
Actually the Verizon S5 should work as it contains an LTE radio, meaning GSM functionality is present. Furthermore, the Verizon model comes unlocked as per FCC regulations. You will need to set the proper APNs to get connectivity on the Verizon S5, however.
Short answer: The S5 works on TMO.
I just made the same switch two months ago. I had two S5s and an S4. My dad is still using his VZW S4 on TMO and I used both of my S5s. However, the coverage seemed to be less than optimal and I wanted the WiFi calling options so I bought two used TMO S5s and my dad is getting a Kyocera Hydro. Even with the cellspot extender my dad's S4 won't make a call at his house.
I guess I got it wrong. DOH! Thanks for setting me straight. So what about going the other way, would a TMO S5 work on the Verizon network?
I contacted Sprint to activate my unlocked T-Mo s9+ but they were not able to do so online and at the store.
Like the S8+ this phone has the CDMA bands for activation on Sprint. Any one else encounter this issue?
Do you have a Sprint SIM?

Yes the rep at the store gave me one too but could not add the device to the Sprint database. A ticket had to be created so they could try to add it.
In my experience only the Verizon and Sprint branded phones unlocked will work with any carrier. Generally the AT&T and Tmobile phones only have GSM radios so they won't work on Sprint.
Were you able to resolve this issue ?
Hey were you able to resolve this issue ?
