So I flashed the revolutionRom rc1 to my phone and it went good, but as soon as I booted back up I would have service and could text and call but I did not have data?? Why did this happen?? I have since flashed back to trigger and I am running smooth.
I am running a vibrant on att network since I am an att subscriber but I picked up a vibrant for free, would this have anything to do with the problem??
Thanks in advance

I"m currently in Korea. And since it's global version which is unlocked, i put in the Korean sim card. But it's not working.
It does not catch the signal. I know if i want to use the data, i have to put the APN. But it doesn't even let me use the calls or message.
Head into Settings > More settings > Mobile Networks and make sure that Network Mode is set to Global or GSM/UMTS. If its on LTE/CDMA it won't pick up any signal.

Also did you add the APNs needed for Korea? My understanding was to even get calls you had to add the APNs.

Hello everybody
My cousin from the USA bring me a Verizon Galaxy S4, I putted a local gsm carrier sim card and it worked fine, I have rooted it and installed hyperdrive on it, but the problem is that it's always on the gsm 3g network which consumes a lot of battery and I can't force it to use the 2g network since this option isn't available unlike the international version of the galaxy s4
Is there any way to force it to use 2g gsm network?

Verizon does not use any form of GSM. You are more likely on a CDMA network.

Maybe install Elixir 2? Maybe choosing network priority if there is any. The guy above has no idea what you are asking about.

Verizon network is cdma but the sch-i545 does support both cdma and gsm and my carrier is gsm
The problem is there is no option to force the phone to use the 2g only like for the i9500
I have installed the liquiezmooth Rop which is Aosp rom and it has this option, then i went back to my nandroid back up and now it use the 2g only !

Download the app from the store called phone info. Open it and select gsm only. This way you'll force the phone to work on 2g(gsm).

Hi,
My uncle has got me a new Verizon S4 from USA in India. He did not turn it on in USA neither he has activated the phone. He simply got me the box packed phone.
I inserted an Indian GSM SIM card and switched it on, it did recognize the service provider and then asked me couple of questions to select languages and all.
However it does not select a Network Operator. My Network operator is Airtel. It shows a List of Local Network Operators but when i select any of them, it says "Registering on selected network operator" but then it fails.
Can some one help me over come it and how i can use this phone in India?
Try to add apn for your provider and chose to search for the network automatically. Should work.

Restart to factory, when ask for language just tap the screen left bottom, right bottom, left bottom, right bottom and vol up.
The phone will activated, left bottom and right bottom mean just above the soft key, vol up is left side button for increase the vol.

So I installed the Google Edition rom on my GS4, and everything worked fine. Then I had the brilliant idea to call *228 to reprogram my towers, and I lost all 4g connection.
I restored back to my stock rooted rom, and used Phone Info to see if I can get 4g back. When I made Phone Info do LTE only, I got 4g LTE connection, and it passed the ping test, but I switched back to LTE/CDMA auto (PRL) and it goes back to only 3g connection.
Is there anyway to fix this?
Dialing *228 doesnt do anything for 4G. The cell towers are automatically updated via your sim card.

You nuked your sim. Get a new one and don't dial *228.

Alright, thanks for the info
I helped someone out who couldn't get data after all the troubleshooting we did. I told him to go to the Verizon store and get a new sim. He did and now he gets full data.
My Amaze is unbranded and rooted, I'm currently using T-MOBILE ICS stock RUU on it.
Whenever I try to connect to the internet it says 'Connection Failed' even though I have turned on the Mobile network. Anybody know a solution to this issue?

You need to edit your apns. Go to voice dialer, say open apns, then enter the correct one for your carrier. I would look up your carrier name and it's apn settings on Google. Once you enter and set them, you should be good.

Koolman, try these APNs. They're for your carrier. They should fix the data issue, if they don't, call your carrier.
Your carrier is Warid, right? Enter these APNS. :good:
