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?

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.

But as far as u know the Verizon galaxy s4 comes sim unlocked, since my cousin bring me one from the USA but my problem was how ti force 2g (gsm) use instead of 3g to save battery life, as this option is not available in the menu like the international galaxy s4

I would hardly core that as an source. Additionally, it directly contradicts your earlier assertion.
Check the actual model numbers that Samsung has put forth... there is no such animal as the SGH-I545.

Hey guys...
So, the Verizon S4 is the model named SCH-I545 and it comes with a sim slot, right? Besides, it comes Internationally Unlocked, so it can be used on GSM networks around the world, correct?
Just one more question, does it work on the 850MHz Band for 3G?
I'm thinking on buying one also! Thanks!
I brought the vzw s4 back to india.. but its not working with either vodafone or airtel GSM.
After rooting and installing apn manager and titanium pro I was able to get the data working but that too only 3g.
But the voice n sms is still not working.
I too am lookiblng for a solution but didnt find any, inspite of this being a world phone.

Same issue in India
I am having the same issue. The phone picks up only data signal and not voice or SMS. I have a Note2 purchased from Verizon and it works perfect. I have rooted and was able to install an I9505 ROM Wamma Lite. It picked up the gsm signal for a moment and same issue occured. Can aI9505 modem be iinstalled using Odin which will make the gsm modem primary and CDMA secondary and allow gsm use for voice and SMS. Please help.

Yes, it will work on 850
Straight from Sammy.
"Frequencies and Data Type:
LTE: Bands 4/13
CDMA 1x/EVDO Rev.A: 800/1900MHz
HSPA+/UMTS: 850/900/1900/2100MHz
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900MHz"
I am using my i545 in both CDMA and GSM networks. Didn't try HDSPA, but EVDO Rev.A and even Rev.B, and GSM with EDGE - working properly without problems. Switching between networks - is in the Settings. My phone is connected to two different operators at the same time - to CDMA and GSM.

Are you using CDMA injected? I am using i-545 in Indonesia with local operator CDMA RUIM not successful, will try with CDMA injected.
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?
Will AT&T's micro sim work in my Verizon S4 and still function the same? My S4 is MDK base.

Yes, you might have to add the AT&T APN though.
Will i have to flash any different kernels or factory restore my phone or ODIN back to stock? Or can I just insert the micro sim and it will be on At&t? Also, what is the APN i have to enter?

Im pretty sure you can just pop the sim card in and go, a search for galaxy s4 apn settings ATT in google should get you the answer on the other. A buddy of mine just switched to ATT and popped the sim in, and did not have to do anything, but YMMV.
You will get hspa+ and the apn I used on the dna to test it was apn name hspa or att and apn: phone. That was it. Make sure the network mode is on gsm

I am using mine on At&t ... ive had a few issues. 1st, the apn works fine for data but I never got mms working. I did get mms working using go sms pro and having it use its own MMSC settings (same as what I set in the apn settings). 2nd, im on ME7 firmware and I can get a # sign at command prompt but have failed to be able to get supersu and permaroot. This means I havent been able to get to tje secret menu to turn on lte bands 4 and 17. But theoretically should be able to support LTE.
Anyone else have similar issues?

I don't understand why in a lot of 4.4.2 roms my SIM card is not supported. In fact every time I turn on my droid DNA it says that the SIM card is not verizon and the phone line doesn't work(only 3g works). But in the threads of all these roms there is GSM supported. How can I resolve it? Which roms doen't have this problem?

I left the original setting(so GSM/WCDMA auto).
same issue here
I have the same problem and I have tried just about everything.
I'm using my DNA for at&t gsm. It is always saying non Verizon SIM and I can't make calls at all.
I'm to the end of my rope maybe we can figure something out if we work together.
It helps to edit the build prop but it still doesn't get rid of the problem entirely
Do you have any ideas.?
