My buddy has the At&t note 2 and I have Verizon. We tried to send a picture using wifi-direct and it didn't work. So I grabbed my dad's Verizon Galaxy s3 and it worked first try. Has anybody else tried this?

So I was wondering if anyone used Beam between a GS3and a GS2?
I tried to send a pic via Beam to my wife's Skyrocket.. And the pic wouldn't transfer over. However if i tried to transfer a Web Page it went through with non issues.
Have anyone else ran into this issue?

Oh ok... At first I thought I was doing something incorrectly. Glad to know I wasn't..... Thanks

As the title says, I got my Verizon Note II today but no LTE so far. I just took the SIM out of my Galaxy Nexus, which gets Verizon LTE in my home, and put it in my Note II (purchased for retail price without contract). Maybe the radio is just weaker in the Note II, but my Nexus always gets LTE in my home.
Do I need to contact Verizon to activate the phone or should I be able to just stick the SIM in there and have it work?
It should work fine, I did yhe exact same thing. I was told it was better that I jumped from a phone using Microsim to another microsim phone because verizon was knocking people out of yhere unlimited data plans

I would be pretty irritated to pay $800 for a phone and then be told I had to give up my unlimited data. That would be the end of Verizon for me and my family, and we have been with Verizon forever.
I totally agree. I assume you have done a simple sim pull and reinsert. Have you tried Airplane mode on then off? Maybe something in the mobile network settings is wonkie?

I'll see how it goes over the next couple days. Maybe it's just a radio issue peculiar to our house. Thanks for the help!

My brother had a same issue with his Galaxy S3, but it was resolved by changing to new SIM card. You can also wait for 1 day and see if you get LTE signal....if not, you should take it to Verizon and demand a new SIM card.
This happened to me as well. I thought I could use my gnex sim for the n2, but only got 3g. Called vzw and activated the new sim and got 4G right away.

Very curious. When I bought my Gnote at the Verizon store, the rep removed the sim card from my Gnex and installed it in the note. Works fine for me. Have a strong LTE connection.
I switched from the GNex to the Note 2 and paid full retail for the phone to keep my unlimited data. But I activated my phone online and used the sim from my gnex in my note 2 and as soon as it booted up I had 4G.

Sometimes if you go into settings, more settings, mobile network, and select lte/cdma instead of global, it'll pick up lte.

Turned out I needed a new SIM card. Verizon store said it should have worked with the same card but that sometimes their system gets "confused". They swapped it out with no charge or hassle, and I still have my unlimited plan.

So my buddy is selling a Verizon galaxy note 2 and I was gonna buy it for my girl, but its been turned off by verizon. I was thinking about taking the sim out and putting it on straight talk, with one of there tmo or at&t sim cards. But idk if that would work. Anyone have any ideas?

I see people posting about using bad ESN phones on straight talk all the time. I'm not brave enough to try it, but apparently somebody is making it work.
I pulled the trigger and grabbed super cheap so if this doesnt work ill just use it on wifi. I have the sim installed and everything, but im getting an error when sending calls or text so idk ill see wbat i can figure out.

Can you let everyone know what you had to do please?
I used an apn unlock mod I believe and just stuck the sim in and put in the correct apn settings and it worked.

I'm contemplating switching to Straight Talk and naturally I want to keep my S4 versus getting one of their phones..is this possible to just buy the AT&T GSM sim from them and use it with my Verizon s4? Or am I doomed to a Straight Talk phone.

I belive it will I just got 2 vzw s4s im going to try and get them working on tmobile I did it with a vzw s3 and note 2 I dont see why you couldent. On note 2 and s3 I only got 2g data. Ive read elsewhere that the vzw s4 will get 3g possible 4g. Some1 correct me if im wrong

I use straight talk (using there at&t version) and it works perfectly. The only thing I heard was if using at&t it might bump you to 2g phone in the states, but I don't think that's true for S4 like in previous models. But I'm not 100% sure.

Did you ever get this to work? If so what steps need to be taken?
Any information would be appreciated.

Check out this thread. Looks like it can be done but it's time consuming:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2521485
I have T-Mobile and my group messaging is not working.. No matter if i use the stock app or Google hangouts..
The actual option is missing in Google hangouts under settings,sms, and then right under advanced settings it should show something like Group messaging or something..
I called samsung and they said it was the carrier and then i called tmobile and they said to come into the store to trade it out for a different one.
Can anyone with Tmobile send group messages with their GS5?
Thanks
I've been using it all day, I wonder why it's not there for you or working for you

Same problem here. My buddy has an AT&T s5 that works fine. Is it a phone problem? Or.... Cuz I'm already rooted. Stock rooted. Nothing changed.

Have you tried factory resetting? I've heard others with this problem doing that and having the group messaging option come back.

Does having download booster enabled have something to do with it?
Or maybe this

I figured it out.. It was the SIM card from T-mobile..
I went into the corp store and they gave me a new phone, that didnt fix it.
I asked if we could try a new SIM.. the guy was saying that wasnt the issue. I insisted.. After activating the new sim and rebooting the phone, it was fixed.. Weird huh.
