Is the phone itself activated on vzw? If not it won't work on vzw, even with an active vzw sim.

hello all,
about two weeks ago a flood came through pa and ever since that flood came through the tower by my house is putting off a "bad 4g" or "h+" signal, which my atrix is forced to used, when i make a phone call the atrix drops down to 3g and i can get on the internet no problem and i can get on any other tower no problem, i called att about the problem and they said the tower by my house is in a degraded state and they don't know how long it will be before it gets fixed, to me it doesnt seem to be a priority since the problem only affects those who's phones use the bad h+ signal. I know the phone would function fine if there were some way to drop the phone down to 3g or edge as my wifes captivate works off the sme tower no problem. I have tried the #*#*4636*#*# option - gms blah blah and it didnt do anything to change the h+, i even figured out how to modify the settings under etc/motorala/android.phone/settings.xml to get the network settings ungreyed only to find out that changing the settings to 2g or 3g did nothing to change the h+ symbol, i am running stock rom 2.3.4 att, one thing i did noticed don't know if it is related but the apn's are locked, do i need to unlock my phone to force edge? those of you who have atrix and are able to force edge please let me know how you are able to and weather or not your phone is locked. if at all possible i would like to avoid flashing roms but would be willing to unlock my phone if it goves me the ability to force edge. this is ridicous that att would lock this option out. please help me as having no internet on my phone sucks
*#*#4636#*#* -> phone information -> set preferred network type to -> GSM only -> Press back button to exit out of it.
Do not attempt to change anything else.

i Tried that and it did not change the h+ down to edge and when i go back in it is set back to gsm auto/ are your apns unlocked or phone unlocked if this actually does work for you?
apn wap.cingular and set to use 2g only. wap.cingular is edge. hsdpa will be 3g speeds.
i know i thought of that too, except att has locked all of their apns they have a little lock next to them? any one know how to remove the locks or is this the same thing as unlocking the phone?

Add a new apn and select it. You can only have one active at any time anyways.

There isn't a 2G option in APN settings.
How can I find the Verizon APN settings? The apps I have seen don't work under ICS and my phone is not rooted (yet). I am not sure, but I think if I install a global ROM to allow me to buy a local sim in another country, I will need to re-enter the Verizon APN settings before I can use my phone in the US again. If I have this wrong, comments will be appreciated.
The Verizon APN is non-removable if you aren't rooted. You can add a custom APN to use in another country, but disable it or remove it and the Verizon APN will come back.

Hi
My phone is Star OneM92 dual sim Chinese S3 clone running 4.1
I'm experiencing a problem with my Virgin (UK) sim. The phone is automatically throwing it in to roaming mode. The "r" sign comes up at the signal bar.
I've checked with Virgin and they confirm no roaming charges apply as its a domestic sim. Of course when I told them the phone is copy they immediatly threw a fit and I got a lecture how I should never of you one in the first place.
Its dam annoying when I make a call. I have to confirm I want to use a roaming sim.
I've tried different positions and other sim cards from O2 and Vodafone and they work fine.
Can anyone shed any light on to this and advise how I can get around this.
By the way, I know I shouldn't of got a clone and yes I'm a noob and all that. Apologies for my inexperience in advance

Thanks,
I give it a go and get back when I have the results. In the meantime if anyone has any more info please post
I use my DNA primarily on VZW but recently added a TMobile SIM card to my international travel kit. I found out the DNA is SIM unlocked so I jammed it in, set the APN settings and all was dandy. Phone worked very well.
Problem is, NOW I go back to the VZW SIM and the Verizon APN settings will not stick. I input the settings and save but then it retains the TMo settings.
I have signal bar but it won't get to internet or send/receive MMS. no 4G icon in the bar.
Anyone have experience with this?
Is there an app that allows me to easily switch between multiple APNs? It appears only one is saved at a time.
Does anyone else use multiple SIMs on any android devices and have suggestions on how to maintain this?
Stock Rooted with S-Off.
Steps taken:
Reboot, Clear Dalvic, Clear Cache
in APN click on 'Reset to default', the VZWINTERNET shows until I exit the screen, when I return it's TMobile settings
BTW: I have already tried suggestions here and it never saves. It will not add another APN. As soon as I go out and back in the new APN is gone.

I recently moved to US and brougth my mexican S3 with me, there I have service without a problem using 4G, before comming to US I took it to a shop to get it unlocked to be able to use a US SIM.
When I got here I purchased a T-Mobile SIM card and service went up. But network doesn't get 4G service, it keeps switching between 3G and H networks, most of the time H I took it to a T-Mobile shop and there they told me that it is not getting 4G because they can't set IPV4 settings as those fields appear as disabled in the APN settings screen. And they said it's a hardware thing.*
I just wanto to be sure that thus is a hardware issue, or if is there a way that I can enable IPV4 setting by a software or configuration change so I can set those values before having to change device.
I also brougthwith me a galaxy note 2, and it's the same problem but a little worst, as it only gets E network service, do you know a way to get them to work properly in US?

Have you tried using an app called "Apn Global" from the play store?
