Hey guys, I have an AT&T one x+ which I had carrier unlocked. I tried a few different sim cards while I was in the US, including my UK pay-as-you-go sim from 3 and all worked fine. However, now that I'm back in the UK I'm finding that the phone can't find any network. Anyone know why? Do I have to flash a different radio or something?

Check the compatible radio frequencies of your HOX+ with those of 3. I'm guessing that there not compatible though..... Unfortunately you can flash all the radio's you want but it won't change a thing. The frequencies are hard coded into the chipset. The reason it worked in the US, is because you was using a UK sim, but roaming on a compatible US network. Maybe you could try an EE sim, There the only 4G network in the UK right now, maybe there using more compatible frequencies.

As far as I know: 3 operates on the UMTS 2100 MHz frequency in the uk, and according to the specs on the AT&T website, the one x+ is capable of operating on this frequency. I tried my sisters EE sim card and had the same problem. I'm wondering if it's something in my settings.

I'm using Viper rom version 2.0, but have the same problem with stock rom when I reverted back to an old nandroid backup. I did upgrade to the new RUU that AT&T pushed out a couple of months back. Could that be the cause? More importantly, is there anything I can do to fix it? Could it be something as simple as a setting I have to change?
Thanks for your help, guys.

Ok, I finally figured it out!
I went into the hidden phone diagnostics options (press *#*#4636#*#*) and selected "Phone information". On the next screen under the menu options in the top right corner is "Select radio bands", clicked that and then selected "Automatic" instead of "USA only". I then removed and reinserted the sim card and it found the network. Managed to get data working by manually entering the correct APN settings.
BOOM, there goes the dynamite.
Hope that helps anyone else trying to use their AT&T One X+ abroad.

What's sad is, after spending time to get it working I really started liking the international Galaxy S3 that I'd been borrowing in the meantime. It's running CM 10.1 right now and seems to fly. My sister upgraded to the S4 and this thing has been sitting in a drawer for the past few weeks. Finders keepers.

This device replace my old Htc touch pro 2, it is fast, battery is correct for me. The only downside seems the network speed, which i expected to be better, i got between 1mbps to 3mbps at home. I will test it in a bigger city when I get a chance. Overall I am satisfied. I am wondering to root, but I hesitate since this will most likely void my warranty on it ...

Do you have any issue on it?
I found some posts about Amaze got some hardware problems.
Nope, everyrhing works fine. But i have not tested it in deep. Just my daily usage. Not tested yet is : bluetooth, gps, nfc, fm radio and hdmi output.
The only complain is that some t-mobile store seems to have official dock and car mount but I cannot find any of them online.

Yeah I posted about that in another forum the other day and can't find a way to do it. On my inspire I would just dial *#*#4636#*#* to get to the phone info menu and disable the wcdma network but you can't change that here without it jumping right back.

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.

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.

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.

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.
