I put in an AT&T sim in the phone to test it out, I had to add an AT&T APN to get data working. After I put the verizon SIM back in the phone the verizon APN is gone and the AT&T one is there with a lock symbol on it. When I choose the option to restore default APN the verizon one comes back but does not stick. When I go back in the menu the AT&T APN comes back.
I tried to nandroid back to a backup I made when I first got the phone but it did not fix this issue.
Can someone post the values under the APN settings?
Rooted ?
Are you rooted ? you would have to be right to get it unlocked...... you need to delete your OLD apn in order for it to work then save it then enable it hope it helps ))
Syler no you do not have to be rooted, the phone is factory unlocked to be used on AT&T or TMOBILE.
I posted this on androidforums, because it did it to me when I tried it out on AT&T.

All I did was click add new and added this
Name - Verizon
APN - vzwinternet
Been working fine since
thought as a general rule you have to be unlocked to go to another carrier and since dna is like verizons flagship..... and we ALL know how verizon is LOL

They are unlocked, factory unlocked by default, right out of the box. I know the iphone 5 on Verizon was the same way. Granted the iphone 5 and Droid DNA wont work on ATT LTE but HSPA+ is still plenty fast for most.
That fixed it, thanks!

Tried these suggestions and cannot get it to work. I cannot get back to the original APN nor add a new one longer than a couple minutes. As soon as I go out of the screen after saving it loses it. go back in and it's the TMobile settings.

I'm having a similar issue. I'm attempting to add a new APN, to test a MMS fix. I choose "New APN", enter all the info, then click save, but the new one doesn't appear in the list. If I edit an existing one and attempt to save, it disappears from the list! Anyone have some insight?

I'm using mine on Straight Talk. I bought it unlocked tho so I'm not sure if it HAS to be unlock. The phone does not have to be rooted. The only thing you would need to do is change the APN settings for Internet and MMS to work.

It uses a regular sized SIM, does not need to be unlocked - just request the AT&T SIM from StraightTalk.

Yes, you need to use the StraightTalk APN settings - even though they can provision you on the AT&T network, they go through different APN's.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525371 has more information that you can search through.
APN configuration is done through Settings -> Wireless and networks -> Mobile networks -> Access Point Names.
Hey Everyone,
I've been trying to use my T-Mobile SIM in my Verizon Note 2 with little success. I am using last nights Cyanogenmod nightly. The build does not have an APN menu, but I overwrote the existing one with this one: htt ps://gist.github.c om/429 0254 (Should work right?).
I am able to make and receive calls, and receive texts. I am unable to make texts and connect to any data network. On the About Phone -> Status page, this is what I am given:
Network: T-Mobile
Signal Strength: -120 dBm 99asu
Mobile network type: HSDPA:8
Service State: in service
Mobile network state: Disconnected
My phone number: unknown
MIN: unknown
I just activated my T-Mobile sim 2 days ago, but was informed it should be working. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
ok try this
Firstly you ust be rooted Buy paid version of titainium backup go to market and download global APN and APN manager then go back to titainium backup and touch the APN man. And when it pops up slide finger from right to left and there will be options to convert to system app touch that one ..but nothing else then find global APN and do the same to it then go open the global APN (it will have an android picture maybe dontbworry if bit don't ) after you open it it will ask you too select your country do that then add apns should give you a choice of 5 I think check them all and save it then...Google for T-Mobile apn s and write them down on paper and go to APN manager go to add APN and add them one by one and it will give you the option to swap apns so set it up then when its ready to swap turn of phone and insert sim turn on and go to APN man. And hit swap and the Tmobil apns you added should take effect ... If that Dont work since you added global apns go to settings and approved networks and you should see the apns if not hit menu and choose add APN and then put in the ones you wrote down and reboot and that should do it if not on YouTube search zedomax .. And the video is how to make galaxy note 2a global phone try one of these three things and between the three one should work ..but its iffy if you get 3g2g or edge all could get was edge so try it out and post back to me and I'm not responsablebfor damage although there shouldbnotnbe any ..hope this can help you out bro :good:

Thanks for the help! Any time I use an APN app I get an error that says " Unfortunately, Global APN has stopped" Or "Unfortunately, APN Manager Pro has stopped"
Have you looked at the APN thread in development? You should only need to put the new APN data into /system/etc/apns-conf.xml. It is possible that you won't get good data speeds though, as the VZW Note 2 doesn't support T-Mobile's main frequencies.

I also have flashed the APN zip that allows you to manually add APN's. If you know a T-Mo APN, you could try adding it that way as well.
Please post your results, I'm very interested in finding out how this goes for you. :good:

Thanks for all the help guys. I had encrypted my device to get on my work email and it turns out that it was screwing some things up. I flashed back to stock firmware, installed the apn manager and added the correct tmobile apn. Everything seems to work now. I'm on Edge network now, but for a brief moment I was put on a HSDPA and had 3g. Not sure why I can't get back on it. Running stock firmware right now, not sure if it makes a difference or not.

Thanks,
I had to flash back to stock because of an issue I was having with encryption turned on. It wouldn't let me add any apns. I used your apn xml file on the stock firmware and it seems to work great. Although your samsung application to remove the annoying non-verizon SIM is not working. I moved it to the /systems/apps folder and overwrote the existing apk. Was there anything else I had to do?
I'm getting 2g speeds. I was on a HSDPA network at one point and got good speeds, but I can't seem to get back on it. Should my Network mode be Global or GSM/UMTS?
EDIT: I'm on HSDPA:9 now. I was on HSPAP:15 for a second. Most of the time, I'm on EDGE:2

Everything seems to be working great now. I don't believe I have very good coverage of the 3G/4G on the 1900mhz band yet because I seem to always be on the edge network (Albany, NY). T-Mobile is expanding the band though around the nation so it can support iphones. I am hopeful that it will be in my area soon. Here is a map of where the 1900mhz band has been spotted: htt p://ww w.airportal.de/ (down today for some reason).
I really didn't do anything that wasn't already posted in the forums. A t-mobile SIM card should work after the bootloader has been unlocked (jailbroken) and the APN has been added (Using stock ROM). The t-mobile version of the note 2 will probably get better speeds because it supports the 1700mhz and 1900mhz bands while the Verizon version only supports 1900, but supports every other band on tmobiles network. It is also my understanding the tmobile will have 1900mhz coverage in every place that has 1700mhz coverage. I could be wrong though.

Is there any reason in particular that you're using the stock SCH-I605 ROM? I'm curious if this would work for CleanROM....
Also, a few other quick questions:
1. Which method did you use to add APNs? (Flash the zip file? .xml?)
2. Where did you get the T-Mo SIM and how did you get it "activated" ?
Thanks! :highfive:

I never really gave the stock firm a chance before. I wanted to try it out before going with Cyanogenmod. I like the samsung tools (multi-window, s-note) and everything is running smooth right now. I will probably flash to cyanogenmod later though. I'm pretty sure it will work on other roms. Not sure why it wouldn't. I think my issue before was that I had the device encrypted and it wouldn't take my changed apn.
1. I manually overwrote the APN file in /system/etc/. I found that it was the easiest method. The flashable apn setting did not work for me until I added this apn file.
2. T-Mobile is running a special on their activation kit right now. You can get a free micro sim delivered to your door. After that, you can just activate everything online.

No you do not. You become a customer of course when you activate it. Here is the link to get them:
http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-phones/prepaid-sim-cards
Here is the APN file I used: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35369426&postcount=3
After you overwrite the existing APN file and restart your phone, you can use this flashable mod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35368049&postcount=2 and it will display your APN information in Settings -> More Settings -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names or you can use APN Manager Pro (I had issues with APN Global) to select the T-Mobile US APN.

I'm actually trying out both t-mobile and the phone. I got tired of paying for Verizon so I transfered my number to tmobile (which was free). My brother bought the note 2, but he's currently using his old phone and I'm trying out his new one. I will probably buy myself one, but I'm not sure if I would get the tmobile one or the Verizon one.
I got the $30 a month unlimited data and text. It only includes 100 minutes talk. I don't use minutes too much, but if I was in danger of going over, I could always use the app sipdroid which will make calls using my google voice number over my data connection.
No problem. This forum has been a tremendous help to me so I will provide any information I can in return.
Has anyone had any luck getting anything other than Edge on tmobile? I was using my Verizon N2 on Net10 with an at&t micro sim. It worked great and I stayed connected to the hspa network. I live in Memphis and had tmobile in the past so I know coverage is no issue here. So I decided to try it out thinking I'd still get decent speeds. No luck. I think I've just wasted $60. I've tried several different apns. Called tmobile tech support and still nothing. Even tmobile told me I should have better than edge but nothing they could do either. I've tried beans and clean rom. I previously had a DNA using it with the net10/att but I had to use a certain rom or it just wouldn't work. I know it has capabilities to run on a faster tmobile frequency right or did I misread that somewhere? Is there something else I need to do to unlock that capability? I'm rooted/unlocked and running beans. I didn't want to start a new thread asking so hopefully someone sees this and can help. If I'm stuck on edge I definitely will be going back to net10 service.

I rooted my Verizon Galaxy S4 and then changed APN settings for it to work on T-mobile. Everything works fine except the MMS, but that's not an issue at hands( i can always use whatsapp or similar apps). The question is will i be able to get OTA for the Lollipop once it comes out for GS4 (rumors say it should be out really soon). Please let me know what I should do to be able to get the Lollipop. Please assume I know nothing about these processes (which is true, i just can follow precise directions) and if possible provide step-by-step instructions.
Thanks.

Why did you change your APN settings to T-Mobile??? That doesn't make any sense! You will probably get lollipop a year from now if at all! Don't expect lollipop on your Verizon phone any time soon...

No, not officially from Google! Your phone is still a Verizon phone, and you'll get the update when Verizon decides to push it out. But how does that phone work on T-Mobile at all?! It shouldn't be working at all with T-Mobile Sim...

I have done some research and came across people who said the phone should not work, people who said that some additional modules need to be installed in order for it to work, and other people who said all i have to do is change APN. I chose the third option as it required the least effort and was easily reversible ( i think). After changing the APN settings this Sunday ( 3 days ago), the phone makes call on Tmobile network, has 4G LTE and lower speed internet, sends/accept SMS (not MMS).

Honestly, I'm surprised that it works! As for the MMS problem- verify the settings: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc and it should work, since everything else works....
that is exactly what i have and MMS is not working. I'm not really concerned about the MMS, just trying to figure out how to get lollipop.

To get Lollipop when it comes out for our Phone. Whenever it does, just use your computer and flash the lollipop TAR using ODIN. Or you could just download the OTA.zip and sideboard it from the stock recovery. Just come back to this site after Lollipop comes out and there will be a guide.
Edit: wait... if all you changed was APNs then you can still take the update through settings.

Honestly, I'm surprised that it works! As for the MMS problem- verify the settings: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc and it should work, since everything else works....

To let you know, a while back someone posted a guide in the general on how to enable TMobile AWS on our phone.
Here's my dilemma, I have a UDP and ordered a new phone from bestbuy and had it shipped to my home and swapped sim cards from my GNex to the new G3 (this allows me to keep UDP while taking advantage of contract pricing). I turned on the G3 and everything went as planned, including keeping my UDP (which I verified on my account on the VZW website), except that my G3 will not connect to LTE. It will connect to 3G and I have tried changing the network type to LTE/CDMA from global, and resetting the phone, and removing the sim, and putting the sim back into the GNex (which connected to LTE just fine). At this point I'm lost, any ideas?
Oh, and I'm afraid to ask VZ because they may make me switch to a "standard" data plan.

I also came from a Gnex ...and the g3 hasn't let me down at all. I've swapped sims with no issue btwn the 2. If your sim gives you LTE on your Gnex it should just be a matter of getting your g3 settings in order.
Have you tried manually entering apn settings? If not, that may be your issue. Here's a link: http://apn-settings.com/verizon-4g-lte-apn-settings-detailed-configuration-steps/
Also, you may want to search for 'Verizon apn settings' in XDA forums as well just to verify everything is correct on that link & because XDA forums tend to provide instructions and user feedback as well.
Good luck

Rrr...no you're no missing anything. Sorry about that. It only gives you the option to "reset to default" on the stock ROM.
BUT - if you take out your sim, power up the phone, then go to the APN setting, hit the 3 dot menu and it'll say "new apn", click on that and set up the APN from there. That SHOULD work. If not, unfortunately, you may have to get a different SIM from Verizon. Shouldn't they keep your plan if you just tell them the sim wont read on your phone? With Big Red though - who knows, right?
So i switched SIM's with my wife's phone and LTE fired right up meaning my SIM was "bad". I was advised to go a Verizon authorized retailer and to buy a new SIM there because they won't try to change my UDP. I went to a local VAR and got a new SIM without a hitch ($15) and no change to my UDP. LTE is working perfectly now. Thanks for the help.

Okay so I am absolutely baffled at this point. I've searched google up and down for answers.
I purchased my S4 "factory GSM unlocked" from ebay. turned out being a SCH-I545 from verizon.
I'm trying to use it on net10 (ATT network) I have the SIM inserted and registered the SIM. its a "4g LTE ATT network SIM". Everything is good other than I can't get 3G or 4G.
I'm aware of adding the correct APN setting for my phone. The problem is that there is a stupid Verizon default APN that is grayed out and i can't edit it. I can add another APN and save it and it shows up, but I can't make it default or even click it to select it. It's like the verizon APN is pre-programmed and unremovable by default.
I tried using APN backup and restore with no luck because it doesnt work with the S4.
IDK WTF is wrong with it but I'm almost at the point of sending it back through ebay.
can anyone help?
BTW, it's rooted and on 4.4.2 stock
I'm willing to donate to the site/devoloper that helps me solve this issue. It's starting to piss me off.
well i messed around with it. and got something strange. it's stil not 3G or 4G, instead it says "H+"....whatever that is. I can browse the internet with it.
still would obviously prefer 4G.
still willing to donate to anyone that can get me on 4G.
Likewise
Im running straight talk on my s4. I used the bring your own phone package. I'm currently looking for ways to put my phone on 4g as well. ILets keep this post going. 2 heads are better than 1. Also how exactly did you get your sch-I545 to update to 4.4.2?
There is a Verizon to ST (straight talk) thread somewhere in the S4 forums, I think it's in general. Maybe you could pick up some tips from there.

No idea buddy, it came from ebay with that on it. I got it rooted though by flashing to I545_NC5, rooting with towelroot, then flashing back to NK1 stock. Worked flawlessly. I've tried multiple APN settings from various sources, all with no luck . Just the H+ network connectivity and no 2,3, or 4G.

I checked it out. Looks like he had the H+ connectivity too. Said he got some 4G in some spots. Looks like I'm just screwed in the butthole.

I tried taking a Verizon blackberry unlocked to att, your best bet is to try and get net10 to put your imei in their system instead of just a sim.

Not sure if this will help but a while back I was playing with an international ROM and the APN settings were grayed out.
Turning on Airplane Mode enabled me to change them.
It's worth a try, who knows.
