Flash the miui rom

Just put the sim card in and use an app such as LTE OnOff (yes, it works on the Rezound) to switch the radios to GSM. The SMS sending problem is still an issue though.
Either the MIUI rom or Joel's PKMN Sense 4 rom w/ gsm patch fully support GSM.
Then use LTE onoff to toggle to wcdma or gsm (it depends which works better for you, idk which one). You might need to add your APN

Hi, id like to know if the Photon 4G is CDMA or GSM with a Sim Card Slot? because im about to buy one from amazon and id like to know if it is one or both and how to recognize which one is it
It is both, it uses the sim for GSM and uses CDMA without the sim. You cant use a domestic sim for GSM, for now atleast.

Meaning you can't take a sim card from AT&T or another GSM provider within the US and plug it into Photon and expect it to work. Its locked out for GSM in the US. It works internationally though.
The 4g is Wimax !!!

LOL I totally had that typed out ready to post before I reread and saw that he meant the phone and not specifically the 4g. Unless I just misinterpreted that completely lol, which would make it the second time

I have just bought an unlocked Sprint unit from ebay, hoping to use the GSM slot for my primary pre-paid line in Nigeria, and the CDMA slot for one of the CDMA providers in Nigeria as well. I plan to take the unit to be programmed into a CDMA network in Nigeria; that will cost me about US$50. Meanwhile, I successfully rooted and flashed ParanoidROM JB, but I saw that it showed no GSM signal at all with the JB ROM, so I restored the original GB 2.3.5 Nandroid backup. There seems to be very little documentation on how the dual system works. Will I be able to use both the CDMA and GSM together, in a dual-standby fashion, in Nigeria?
I flashed the KDDI radio and cm10 and have used my MoPho on T-Mobile.
Don't forget to thank all who help!

Big Red won't activate it unless they sold it.
Few questions regarding our GSM capability:
1. What changes between CDMA ROMs and GSM ROMs? Doesn't the Rezound work on both networks since it is a global phone now?
2. If I were to pop in a GSM carrier's SIM card (let's say... T-Mobile's) what would I have to research and do to get all of T-Mobile's features (SMS, Voice, Data, Play Store carrier branded apps maybe?) working?
3. Will I screw anything up by popping a GSM SIM into my phone with a CDMA ROM?
I want to order a T-Mobile SIM and see what their network is like in my area.
if you flash any ROMs based on latest RUU 4.03.605.2.. that will support both CDMA and GSM . nothing will be screwed up!!
So the ota won't work?

I thought you still had to unlock the carrier stuff even though it was a global rom. Thought was still locked to verizon.

Can someone please help me out? I'm using a bell lte SIM card, however, I have no problems getting gsm on Verizon roms (phone doesn't support bell lte). The reason I want a gsm rom is because the verizon roms dont have functioning mms with my provider.
When I use a gsm Rom I get "SIM card not found".when trying to enter my apn settings. Tweaker apn doesn't work either.
What can I do?

It should you might have to get a sim card that's international and a good Rom that works well with gsm networks if I'm not mistaking most other country's are gsm

isnt global mode in settings for going other places then the usa? doesnt global mode auto pick service after buying a sim card for czech republic cell services? im sure you can buy a prepaid service.
Depending on frequencies used then yes all the above should work in gsm based countries. At a minimum you'll have voice SMS and evdo data.

save yourself some trouble and call verizon BEFORE you go. They'll need to flip a (free) switch on your account to allow roaming on GSM networks.

That isn't necessary. And will give you a crap ton of roaming charges. International roaming ain't cheap.
Just pop a sim in from the Czech Republic and you'll be good to go.

Ok, so I dont have to do anything other than remove the verizon sim and place a local sim card? Will my Verizon sim still be active once I put back in or does it go dead for not being active that long? Do I need to rom my phone with GSM rom to do this?
Hi guys,
Just to let you know, I'm from Portugal and have the HTC DNA. Fully operational both stock and custom firmware. Everything works fine except LTE. Just need to create a new APN setting for the new SIM card.

Depends if you want to roam and keep your number when travelling abroad. I prefer to do it that way. My point is, if you plan on sticking with roaming on your Verizon sim, you need to have them enable gsm roaming on your account (cdma roaming works fine, where avaialable). I learned the hard way.

Is there a way I can get my Verizon S4 to work with a Straight Talk AT&T SIM card?! Please say yes, so I can get rid of this expensive A$$ bill?!

Yes I'm using my at&t straight talk sim on the verizon s4 and it works great!
Is there anything special I have to do with my phone? When I order the sim card from straight talk it won't let me select the cdma option so, should I just select gsm as if I have a AT&T Galaxy S4?

CDMA does not use SIM cards. The S4 is a CDMA/GSM/LTE device. AT&T is a GSM network.
You might have to edit the APN settings to use Straight Talk.

The Verizon S4 is a CDMA phone AND a GSM phone. I believe they made it this way so you can go to about any other country in the world and still use your phone - or it was just cheaper to mass produce the radios with everything in it.
Anyway the only thing to change is the APN settings to
Name=Straight Talk
APN=att.mvno
Proxy=proxy.mvno.tracfone.com
Port=80
MMSC=http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS proxy=mms2.tracfone.com
works perfect. However I did just find a small problem. I have flashed both cyanogenmod and Liquidsmooth AOSP ROMS and they do not work with at&t ST sim - when I call the phone it does not answer or register the call at all. Not sure what the problem is, seems like for some reason it is not registering with the at&t network. Trying to find a fix. However, the phone has worked fine with all TW based ROMS I've tried.
Ok thanks for the information but I have one more question... I am rooted with Clean Rom 1.5, do I have to unroot my phone? Will I still be able use wife tether or foxfi? I heard AT&T took foxfi away.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
Oops just saw that you messaged me - yes just choose GSM. You do not have to unroot your phone but like I said in the last post - I cannot get AOSP roms to receive or make calls - data works - but not phone calls - which is rather strange and I'm sure can be fixed but nothing I have tried seems to work.
GSM is fine but in reality once you get the right LTE bands turned on, would it be better in global?

What kind of data do you see on AT&T? HSPA+? 3G? 2G?
