I bought a no-contract (full price) AT&T SGH-I717 from Amazon Wireless, I have AT&T data plan for iPhone, I use an adapter to put the sim card in it, the phone works but but not the internet, it can't connect to 3G or 4G, the same sim card works for both phone and internet in my Samsung 7" tablet, so it's not the plan problem, is there any setting I have to fine tune?
Thank you very much for any help.
PS. I'm Sorry, its a Samsung Galaxy SGH-I717

I think if I remember right you have to change the APN settings to get it to work
Try these
mmsc
http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
mms proxy
proxy.mobile.att.net
mms port
80
mcc
310
mnc
410
apn type
Internet+mms+supl
When switching to a new lte device you either need to change your plan to the unliited lte plan or use the apn settings above.
In some cases an lte sim is needed but not all

Agreed, when I got mine I had the Inspire, which is already 4G enabled, they had to change my data plan before I could use my Note. You can make the required change yourself by simply logging into at&t's website and 'manage my account' / 'add or remove features'. you may need a 3g/4g card if your previous phone didn't support 4g / 3g

Would I be able to unlock, root this phone (LG Optimus G E970 ) and run it on T-Mobile network. I am hearing multiple reports - some say it will only get 2G data while others say it will work. Since T-Mobile might be introducing LG Optimus G Pro on their network in the future and with the reframing going on I am wondering if the phone will at least get 3G data? Please can someone confirm?
Of course, speeds and coverage depend on network provider but I just want to be sure that I can get at least 3G in a big city before I jump in.
Lucky you. You'll actually get the full LTE package with this model of the Optimus G!!!!. But coverage is going to be ass if your coming from AT&T or Verizon.
T mobile LTE will be available to you when it comes to your area. The AT&T Optimus G runs on bands 4 and 17, T mobile will have band 4 so its all good. Depending on where you live, LTE might not available for a while..
Depending on you area, if Tmo is using 1900 band for HSPA+ you will get HSPA+ 21
I know for a fact because I was testing it for a month of unlimited data no contract on my unlocked ATT Optimus G in the Los Angeles Area. I was getting about 5 Mbps down and 1.5 Mbps Up.
works for me... king of

I am on Tmobile in maryland near Washington, DC. After I set up the APN to fast.tmobile.com, I get pretty good 4g. I have yet to see LTE or 3g. I do get edge in some more rural areas. I had hotspot working okay after I unchecked entitlement from the hidden menu, But after I flashed the stock jellybean, the option is no longer in my hidden menu so although I still get data service, I cant use it as hotspot
I have this on T-mobile and so far i have been getting 2g/3g not 4g yet but ive only been using it on the roads. not sure if thats why.
do i have to set the apn even after i unlock it for higher speeds?
I've been thinking about switching an AT&T E970 to T-Mobile, but I'm slightly confused in regards to data speeds. For my AT&T iPhone 5, I'll mostly get EDGE, unless I live in an area with T-Mobile's refarmed HSPA+, or their LTE (both supposedly coming this month).
From what I've read, the AT&T E970 should pretty much be getting everything from T-Mobile, including 3G?

I recently switched my e970 to t-mobile so I had to unlock and set the apn and all I get is 4g but not LTE my speed test came out 10mb down 2-15mb up. I was playing around with the hidden menus to try LTE but when I wanted to activate the "AWS" which is band 4 it said "FAIL" does this have to do with permissions because im not rooted. I know south florida has no LTE yet but wouldn't I still be able to enable LTE? As far as the hidden menus just dial 8345#*970# if you get an error you have to install the service menu apk you can find it if you search. Play around with the hidden menu LTE-only option and see what you get. And just to put it out there i believe the E970 supports HSPA+ 42 on tmobile refarmed 1900 band.

I have installed the service menu apk and have been playing around with LTE only option but no luck. When I chose band 4, my signal bar went all the down to only one bar though cannot make calls. I've also tried all the bands but none of them worked. Also the E970 does not support 42 mbps, only 21 mbps max.

What you want to do is download the (service menu app), you can search for it here on this site it's where I got mine. After you installed it, go to WCDMA - only then Modem Settings then Network Mode then choose WCDMA 1900 and you're all set.

Yesterday I gave up and rooted, unlocked, installed cwm and started flashing nexus 4 radios, the. 48 one is supposed to be great for tmo and it does work well, faster download and uploads, along with no data drops, while most of the older and newest India radio had many drops during speed tests.
I went into the "secret menu" and selected wcdma 1900 only but it still keeps me on umts /hspap, question is maybe that's how the network works here? When I'm downloading, loading something or doing a speed test it switches to H when I'm not doing anything it goes to umts?
I'll find the apk and try it for **** and giggles.
I use this code 3845#*970#
The app I downloaded does nothing.

I will be posting screen shot later today. I live in miami and the 4g lte might launch next couple of weeks hopefully but definitely by the end of this year. :

I have been able to get true 4g LTE near Charlotte, NC. 30 down, 10 up. No voice though since it's only able to be set to LTE/CDMA.
Two questions...is it possible to add the LTE/WCDMA/GSM mobile network? All we have is Global, LTE/CDMA and GSM/UMTS. I haven't seen a way to add a mobile network. Would putting a custom rom on enable that? I was also getting H and H+ recently and now I get E at my house put T-Mobile branded iPhone 5c and Note 3 are pulling in 4g via HSPA. Shouldn't I be able to get I too? i do pick it up when I get closer to Charlotte but I'll be H+, drop to E and then back to H in the span of 20 yards.
So this is intereting, I rooted and enabled the hidden menus so I can access the service menus and also changed my sales_code to AWS from VZW. This allowed pretty much all the band combinations to show up in the Network mode selections.
In the first drop down, I selected GSM/WCDMA/LTE and in the second did LTE/WCDMA/GSM (auto connect).
I will now on my way to work gor from E to H to H+ and then 4G LTE.
Looking at *#0011# when connected to LTE I get this in the first line: "LTE RRC: CONN, Band4. H+ = "RRC: DCH, Band2", H = "RRC: FACH, Band2.
When connected to 4G LTE, I get switched to H/H+ when a voice call is made or comes in.
I am still at a loss by not being able to connect to H/H+ at home. I still get E (PCS1900) but T-Mobile branded phones get H and I was also getting H testing the S4 with my wife's SIM card from her Note 3 a couple weeks ago. Only thing I can think of is a tower is down?
The verizon Galaxy S4 does not have AWS 1700 band enabled, so you will only get T-mobile 4G in 1900mhz refarmed areas. There is a hack for the AT&T Galaxy S4 to enable the 1700 AWS band for T-mobile, but it does not appear one is available for the Verizon version. So you will get band 4 LTE, EDGE and 3G UMTS 1900 and 4G 1900, but in areas that are not refarmed to 1900, you will only get EDGE until the 1700 AWS band can be activated

Not going to say your statement is false, but the last 2 modems DO enable the AWS for LTE on the Verizon S4, which allows true LTE with T-Mobile service.
I wrote a tutorial on how to get LTE working this way. Don't necessarily have to flash this specific rom, but do read the modem and apn settings part. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2560128
question on sales code
Cadams7701, what method did you use to change the sales code to aws? I heave read a few methods but none seem to give me more network options. So far I get fewer network options. Thanks.

The MDK only means you have q bootloader exploit. Make no mistake it's still not a truly unlocked bootloader like you see on other carriers like T-Mobile.
It's a sch-i545 and it'll always remain locked but with Loki exploit.
Now our Verizon S4s are all SIM unlocked so that they can be activated on other networks. It just depends on the frequency they run as to whether you'll still get 4g from what I understand.
I've ever only used Verizon so I can't tell you for sure on that part

I may be a little late to the party but better late than never. I stopped by the T-Mobile store with my I545. The clerk put in the sim, made some apn changes, said voice works and handed it back to me. Got home, ran a few speed tests, averaged 1.5 Mbps down and .5 Mbps up. Not very impressive. I read thru this thread and a few others, and now have 18 down and 13 up. That's about triple what I was getting from Boost. After about a week, the sim card activation notification is gone. I'm happy.
But I'm not entirely issue free. I can't send sms or mms until I receive a voice call. Before I get a voice call, I can call out, get 4G LTE to light up and have internet access, Also, on the lock screen right above "Emergency Call", it says "No Service". When a call comes in, the "No Service" changes to "T-Mobile" and everything works great. In addition, during boot I get a popup that T-Mobile's Visual Voice Mail has stopped working. I suspect something is still trying for Verizon and failing. Any ideas how to fix this issue?
I am using NC5 and i am getting 4G LTE atleast in St. louis area.
For visual voicemail not working an easy fix is.. let me phone run for 5 mins(do whatever you want) after boot. switch off the wifi(does not matter if you are not connected to one) and then open the visual voicemail app. it should work.
If it still does not work call tmobile, for me they fixed something from their end before it started working in the first place.

Thanks. I just placed a message to T-Mobile.
Even tho I get the message that visual voicemail has stopped working, it still works fine. Overall, I'm happy with the service, just want it perfect.
Hello!
I know I am a little late to the game but I was able to successfully get my s4 working with T-Mobile. If anyone can give me deeper clarification as to why this worked, I would be most grateful.
Steps to my process:
1) Rooted my device using KingsRoot
2) Inserted Tmobile Sim
3) Using Wifi I downloaded Advanced Signal Status App
4) Changed APN settings to what Tmobile recommends, I used fast.t-mobile.com
5) Changed my Settings to Global
6) Went into Advanced Signal Status and changed settings to Gsm/CDMA
7) Imputed tmobile number into the space provided below the data settings.
8) Restarted device and have H+/3G. I am able to successfully make calls, send SMS, MMS, and use Interwebs.
Ok, I'm buying a G3 thats for Verizon but for my T-Mobile service. I want to flash roms etc and I'm coming from a unlocked T-Mobile Note 2. Anything I should know before I buy it? Is it fine with T-Mobile?
T-Mobile runs on GSM network and Verizon runs on CDMA so the two won't work.

Don't give false information if you have no idea what you're talking about? If this information were true, how am I using a Verizon G3 on ATT with LTE?
The Verizon G3 is unlocked so it will work on either T-Mobile and ATT. It picks up LTE and HSPA+ on both networks. But LTE depends on what frequency is used in your area.

Alright, you got it
LTE on band4 works fine on the vs985 on both T-Mobile and Cricket pre-paid. H+ gsm works as a fallback, too. Verizon phones have had GSM radios since at least the Droid3, if they were "World Phones", like ALL current LTE models are. Verizon used to require a code be entered before GSM would work, and even then no USA GSM networks would work. But that's all in the past.

Ok, I'm buying a G3 thats for Verizon but for my T-Mobile service. I want to flash roms etc and I'm coming from a unlocked T-Mobile Note 2. Anything I should know before I buy it? Is it fine with T-Mobile?

T-Mobile runs on GSM network and Verizon runs on CDMA so the two won't work.

Actually it will work. I'm using mine on T-Mobile now. 4g lte is limited since verizon g3 only supports one band thats compatible with tmobile. But hspa+ or regular 4g works, spa or 3g works edge gprs all of those work.
In the G4 forum, we realized that Verizon has put some sort of firmware on the device that disables 4G LTE in GSM mode using a T-Mobile (or AT&T for that matter) SIM card, even though the phone does support the bands. When the phone is switched to CDMA mode, then 4G LTE works fine, but unfortunately voice doesn't work at the same time. See this thread here for more details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g4/help/lg-g4-vs986-t-mobile-lte-problem-t3195888
Can anybody try out the same with the V10 and report back? Would be intersting to know if Verizon now intentionally started crippling these devices (since it used to work fine on the G3), or this is some sort of bug that only applies to the G4 right now. Thanks!!
I use a VZW branded V10 with my tmo sim and can only get H or H+. Rarely does it get 4gLTE. And when it does sms does not work.
Thanks... but you do get 4G LTE sometimes when in GSM mode?!?
Can you change the system mode in the mobile settings to CDMA and check if it gets 4G LTE with the T-Mobile SIM card? And then in the same place switch it back to GSM and see if it falls back to H+ only? That's the behavior we saw on the G4, like Verizon is intentionally blocking LTE om GSM, even though the phone supports the band.

I am not sure if it is the same with Tmobile, but when trying to use a Tmobile variant on AT&T, LTE does not work either. It seems that you have to get the device provisioned by the carrier for LTE using it's IMEI, not just doing a SIM swap.

Yeah if i switch to CDMA, i get 4G LTE very often though i cannot send message or call
Can anyone tell me if u get the annoying unauthorized sim card message... if so can we stop it from appearing. Had that issue with my verizon htc m8.
I tried at a T-Mobile store earlier to see if one of their Sim cards would work in my VZW V10 and I had the same issues.
The pop up saying "not a Verizon Sim" or whatever came up after a few minutes of dismissing it as well.
When it first loaded up, I changed the APN to match the in-store display V10 with its exact settings. I changed the network mode from global to LTE/GSM and after a minute it showed it was connected with 4G LTE, but it went away after a few seconds. I couldn't get it to come back, and it only had like 2-3 bars, and H for data. I know it wasn't from lack of signal because the display V10 had full bars with LTE.
I also tried sending a text using the T-Mobile SIM to one of my other numbers, but it didn't go through at all. Didn't try placing a call, but regardless it didn't seem like it would be worth it to switch.
No 4g LTE
Still waiting for a fix,can get no 4g LTE on t mobile,I'm on marsmallow so I lost root access
I'm Canadian, I just bought an unlocked Verizon V10 on ebay and I'm planning to use it on a Canadian carrier. Does this mean I should expect to have no LTE data at all on this phone in Canada? Poops I never would have bought it if that was the case.
Let me know, I may try a return without opening the package.
how different is the speed between HSPA+ and LTE? is it noticeable
does it bother you that its not LTE?
I bought a phone from a seller on swappa. when he listed it. the phone had a clean ESN.
took it to the verizon store to setup verizon prepaid and it was flagged a non pay account
cannot activate.
I am using my ATT sim card right now
I can return it but on the secondary market is many LGV10 phones are going to be flagged for non payment when the accounts go into collections, it then buyers could get screwed.
I might just stick with the phone. But i can never use it on verizon. I have to wait for a Root on marshmallow, and fix after that if I want LTE speeds on ATT or TMO
I got LTE working. In happy with it. I think the US phones work in Canada even with a bad imei.
Another area on a long long laundry list where canada is better than the usa. hockey and standardized healthcare being 1 and 2... hahaha
I was having the same issue on my Verizon v10 vs990 on my T-Mobile network. I went into the APN settings and set it to LTE/CDMA and it works perfectly. Calls, SMS and data.
