Hi.
I have a rooted VZW Droid RAZR Maxx and I would like to convert it into a "ipod-touch" style device. It is important to me to disable the CDMA, LTE and GSM radios, and render the device unable to be used as a phone. I'd also like to remove the "Missing SIM" warnings.
My preference would also be to have it still be able to use the Google Play store to install apps.
Thanks.
just remove the sim card and put it in aero mode.

It still will dial 911.
This is being given to a small child, and we do not want to take any chances with it being able to make a call to emergency services. She's already used the emergency dialler of other phones and thinks it's fun.
Aren't there packages that can be removed to eliminate support for the wireless radios?
Try call blockers from playstore, maybe this will help
The Wipe!

Try *#*#4636#*#* go to phone info and turn off radio. Then you can use profiles to add some additional restrictions...then test and you should be good.

This works, but if you turn on Airplane mode, then turn it off, the radio turns back on (at least on my Sprint Galaxy Nexus). I was hoping that there was a way (app, rom, etc.) to permanently disable the cell radio.

This is happening randomly I can't make phone calls. Most of the time I can't make any calls or receive any, I cleared the storage and looked up problems about this but couldn't find any(other than doing a full flash which is something I wouldn't want to do)
I was making phone calls last night and it didn't work for a while and then kaboom! It started working again but after a while I couldn't make any calls at all.
I got this phone yesterday its the t-mobile version and its unlocked I live in ireland and my network is 02.
My two questions are:
Why is this happening? And how can I fix this?
If I switch to android would I be able to make phone calls in this situation?
Please help!
Hmm, well it shouldnt make a difference, but try installing the cab i posted in THIS thread, post 4(which will have the added benefit of auto setting up your data connection settings too)
I'd also get rid of the stock rom too, though again, theres no reason it shoudl affect calls.
EDIT - oh hang on, when you say the t mobile version, do you mean the uk t mobile version (which is teh same as all other hd2s)? or the US t mobile version (which is a different phone in certain respects)

I have the US version with the upgraded ram.
oh ok, (though they all have the same ram, it just needs unlocking on the regular hd2, its the rom that you have double of.)
give that connection cab i linked to a try, just so you can rule it out. also, i know you said you don't want to flash a new rom, but it will sure get rid of the useless stock tmo apps.
I tried the .cab file and I still can't make phone calls. It still only works randomly and I can send messages but I can't recieve any.
Hmm, the phone is unlocked to the network you wanna use, right? and it supports the right GSM bands? (Im sure ot probably does)
all i can suggest is open teh phone screen, hit menu, options, menu - advanced network - and try disabling HSDPA/HSUPA
also on phone screen - menu - options - scroll down to band - and try messing with the settings in there (GSM wcdma, and teh band frequency options)
i've got the same problem.
Did you solve it?
Hi All,
I know its a topic which has been addressed differently in different threads. I am a user from India and have a GSM SIM. I have got a Verizon S4 phone. I tried using it with Vodafone SIM and get a problem in using it. Surprisingly a NOTE 2 from Verizon works just fine. I am able to use it for data with 3G but not able to use it for voice. Following steps have been tried already.
- Default Options of using Global Mode and GSM/UMTS ** Doesnt search the network at all.
- Hidden Menu Changes using # codes. ** Shows network but emergency mode only.
- Phone Info app to change the mode. ** Shows network but emergency mode only.
- RF Band change using the hidden menu. ** Shows network but emergency mode only.
It does say that it has GSM radio but cant be used for some software reason I suppose. I checked with Verizon Rep and was told that it cannot be used in India with a GSM SIM and would need the Verizon SIM only to connect with International Roaming.
Can I install a I-9505 ROM on this and then would it pick up the GSM signal for voice and data. Please help.
I don't think your Verizon rep is correct. I bought a Verizon S4 just before going to Europe for 1 month. I used first a gsm SIM card from Germany, and then a gsm card from France. I had to add APN's to get data (I used "offline sim APN database" from the market to help get the necessary APN info), but had no trouble with voice or data for my entire trip. The gps and navigation services on the phone were extremely valuable on a couple of occasions, as was the wifi hotspot. In France, you can purchase 2 GB of data service for 20 Euros. I checked with Verizon global services ( 908-559-4899 outside the US or 800-711-8300 from inside ) before I left, and the Verizon S4 was sim unlocked out of the box. They did not make a big deal of my plan to use other SIM cards either.

Installed WamanLite I9505 ROM
Hello All,
I found that Wanam Lite I-9505 ROM can be installed on Verizon S4. I installed it and patched it with Loki-Doki patch to boot up as I got the Verizon Software error. Yet my phone doesnt pick up the GSM signal for voice and SMS. It picks up the signal and I am able to browse internet on it but no calls or SMS. Please help...!!
Is there any way that I can install or flash a regular GSM radio over the phone ? Or tweak it in someway to use the GSM signal as primary for voice and sms.

I have also Verizon's S4 (i545) and use it in GSM network with only one small problem - it will not send SMS with in-ROM SMS apk to international-formatted numbers (+380-XX-XXX and so on), but send without problem to local-formatted numbers (XX-XXX...) All the rest is working good.
Could you tell me please - how did you get to install i9505's ROM on your device? I have also Verizon's error after installation, and don't know how to run it...
Hi I too have the vzw s4 in india.. and niether voice nor sms is functioning on it.
By rooting it and installing apn manager I was somehow able to get the data 3g working for vodafone ind.
I too am struggling to find a solution to this.
Ive haventvyet flashed it. I came across a guy who said he will be able to get it working but somehow I havent yet been abke to follow up with him.
Guess we both are on the same boat.
Lets keep in touch and update if any of us finds a solution to this.

You all can try to flash my port of ARHD 2.0 ROM, that can be found it this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2346365
It is fully GSM and as international as regular GSM-version of S4. CDMA can be turned on only on hidden test application. Everything else is working and was tested in different networks.
I too created a post seeking help in this regard but didn came across anything concrete yet.
Everyone out here believes it to be a world phone and some have even been using the gsm network in europe but its not working in india.
Ive failed to understand that how come its detecting signals with functioning data is not working on either voice or sms.
Tmobile and atnt gs4 guess have this service menu from where they can be network unlocked explicitly..but unfortunately I havent yet come any such thing for vzw gs4.

I tried installing the ARHD 2.0 ROM but still the same issue persists. The phone picks up the signal for data but when tried selecting network manually or automatic using the GSM / UMTS option, it says disable data to search networks, when data is disabled, the phone shows available networks says phone registered to network but the status still says Emergency Calls Only. Also if tried dialing a phone it says no network available. There has to be something in the modem settings which can be tweaked through the service menu which will change the use of GSM for voice and data and not use CDMA.

Did you do a full wipe when flashing ROM? It is mandatory. You will lose all your data though. If there will be no changes after full wipe - then try to install this card into another phone and ckeck if voice calling is working.

I did a full wipe. I have 2 Galaxy S4's and also an Optimus G. The card that I am using is my regular SIM card so its not an issue with the card for sure. The ROM was installed on both the phones and neither of them picked up the signal for voice and SMS.

Ok. To go and chose type of radio-band you may install Battery Monitor Widget from Google Play (well, the main purpose of this app is different, but it is what comes first in my mind). Put it's widget on the desktop, open it and go for bottom right button, named Test. There you can first menu (Device Info) and there you will be able to change all variations of the radio bands and their combinations, available for i545. If non of the combinations will help - mosty probably your operator works on unsupported for this phone cellular format.

I have the Phone Info app which allows band select. Tried on all possible modes. Same issue persists. Strangely the Note 2 purchased from Verizon works flawlessly without any mods or changes. I am thinking of giving to some professional phone guy who may have code level flashing or modding tools to try and fiddle around with settings of the modem or the radio to pick up the signal here.

Hey phrozenwire, I am able to use both voice n sms now in my VZW GS4.
And I literally did nothing to make the voice n sms functional. I too had troubles for like 2 weeks and it didn work for me then.
I rooted the phone to add apn settings and the data got activated. But today morning when I woke up ... surprise surprise .. it began to work.. rcvd sms and calls and I was so happy. . Last I remember I switched on the power save mode and my cell fell down twice and guess it did the trick for me.
Thanks all for your help and comments.

Ok, I suddenly have lost LTE data and cannot make phone calls.
I have pulled the sim card and reinserted but I keep getting a popup window asking me if I want to connect to Global and not CDMA/LTE. I change the request to LTE and make sure setting is there.
It won't connect to 4G. and keeps asking about Global.
I am rooted and ROM'd with unlocked bootloader and have even tried my trusty stock image -- no go!
All of my ROM backups have the same issue and I can't place a call.
:crying:
Yes, my bill is paid and in order.
What can I do? I doubt VZW will help me since it is a Dev Edition and I purchased through Samsung, not them.
APN settings seem to be blacked out so I cant change. It does allow me to delete it.
HELP! I need to place calls.

If it persists across different roms it sounds like either faulty sim or for some reason your modem or kernel is corrupted. I would re flash modem. After that try to re flash kernel. If that fails a new sim might be in order. I presume you have checked with another phone to be sure it's not a VZW problem.

Thanks! I will try the modem route first and then the kernel route.
Although each ROM has a different kernel, so I don't think that is the issue.
Yes, no problem with VZW as the other half's phone is working.
Data works on LTE for Internet but can't place any calls and all received calls do not ring phone: goes into VM.
Edit: at Verizon and not SIM card. New SIM card gives me voice but no data. Says voice roaming.
Ok, here is the problem after 2 new sim cards: Data is showing as "CDMA RX1TT" I cannot get data or voice now. Says voice is roaming with a triangle.
Is this a software setting or hardware setting? Something has changed on my phone, despite changing from stock to ROMS, etc.
VZW store is at a loss and though the rep was good, suggested I call top tier VZW support tomorrow and made notes in my account.
So, any clues as to what could cause this? Is my Dev phone now shot?
If it truly is an APN issue i can post my APN from my Verizon SGS4 and you can use an app called APN backup and restore to push it to your phone or push it manually using root explore and then set permissions. Let me know.

You might have a corrupted EFS partition in which case you would need to restore a good copy of that. Some of the time its in LTE/GSM mode for whatever reason in which case you would need to change it to LTE/CDMA mode.

I had a "DUH" moment when I was in a similar situation. I had forgotten that I had enabled the hidden menu on my DevS4 and changed the "band" preferences to try and force the AWS band. This took the phone off of "automatic band connecting" and I was unable to connect to data. Once I remembered what I had done, I simply when back into the menu and switched from forcing AWS band back to "automatic". Just my 2 cents.

Hello Everyone! Sorry for the delay. Actually, this is what kinda occurred, as the 1/15 build of OctOs ROM which I flashed had an issue and it was posted on Facebook, which I didn't see until Saturday. It changed the CDMA subscription to NV and so even with stock or other ROM backup images, it carried over and didn't re-adjust. I had to reinstall that bad ROM, make some changes per OctOs instructions and BAM: all is well.
As you know on stock rooted, one cannot change certain settings and they were greyed out.
At least I got another backup sim card from VZW should I ever need to activate an older phone.
Thanks for everyone's help!
1. Insert Straight Talk ATT sim
2. Set mobile networks to GSM/UMTS
3. Go to system updates and select update PRL
4. After its updated go back to mobile networks and switch it from global back to GSM/UMTS (it will auto switch when you update prl)
5. Go to roaming in settings and scroll to the bottom and set APN
6. Download Signal Check or Signal Check Pro from the play store to show data signal in the status bar
7. The no sim icon will still be in the status bar but you can remove ot with tweakboxand set carrier text
YOU WILL HAVE TO REPEAT THIS EVERYTIME YOU REBOOT YOUR PHONE SO ITS TEMPORARY UNTIL WE GET FULL UNLOCK
PLEASE SHARE AND GIVE THANKS
(I have only tested this with an ATT ST SIM)
I installed cloudy and used network app from the play store and picked cmda/gsm/lte everything works. I didn't even have to set the apn or mess with the dialer it is all good ?
I registered my phone with Straight Talk a couple days ago and I've been trying to get it to work. I've looked everywhere and Straight Talk has lived up to their reputation of having terrible customer service. Anyway, they've confirmed that my phone is activated, but I can't make a call or anything. I'm thinking it has to do with my settings.
Just to cover all the bases, I tried to activate on the CDMA network via the network access code, but I couldn't register my phone due to no coverage in my area (which I know is not true). So I registered on GSM with the ATT SIM card. My Sprint service no longer works, although I'm showing signal bars in the status bar. Whenever I try to make a call it says "Unable to validate your account. Please contact customer services."
I tried the steps listed in the first post but whenever I switch to GSM/UMTS and try to update the PRL it says "Authentication error. Please try again later."
It's also worth mentioning that my phone is rooted and I have frozen a lot of apps, most of which are listed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/sprint-g3-bloatware-list-t2873199
If anybody out there can help I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm not sure where else to turn.
You can try my guide it may allow you to fully unlock your settings so you can do what he is saying above.
Here is the thread link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/how-to-gsm-unlock-t2961099
Ok, after much research and many reboots, I've finally got it working. I tried several different methods but the one that finally worked for me was installing the CloudyG3 rom. I'm no expert by any means but my guess is because you have to completely overwrite any evidence of Sprint that is preventing the other carrier's SIM card from working (for me this was ATT through Straight Talk). I had to set my Network mode to GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto. My data is not quite as fast as I had hoped at 21.06 down 3.72 up but at this point it's better than nothing.
A couple problems I've noticed so far is after cloudy finished installing and my Lookout was running it's first test it flagged QuickApps and LGBackup as malicious apps. I didn't uninstall them yet because they seem harmless but I did freeze them with Rom Toolbox just in case. Can anybody confirm that they're safe or that uninstalling them won't cause any bugs? Also my messaging app no longer works which is a little disappointing as I really enjoyed it for a stock messaging app. Anybody know why this is?

Hi folks,
The title pretty much says it all. I've got a new unlocked P6 bought from Google, using it on AT&T here in the US. It doesn't show VoLTE and when I go in to turn on VoWIFI I get an error to the effect that "we couldn't turn on VoWIFI."
The VoLTE worked out of the box on my prior phone (OP6T) but I never attempted VoWIFI with it.
Is there a special process to go through, or do I need to chat up the ATT reps? It's possible I'm not provisioned appropriately; my SIM is the same SIM I've been using on several phones over a good number of years.
Before I go in "cold" to a conversation with them I'd prefer to know exactly what to ask them for.
Thanks
Here's their whitelist:
Note this is the latest updated list (edit)
I had to have them enable it for me. I did it via chat support. It broke the ability took make regular calls but a quick call back (from a different phone) and it was fixed.

Ask for "advanced tech support" when the dud robo attendant ask what for, repeat.

I double checked my devices... but the proof will be when they still are working.
Lol, what could go wrong?
Yeah, be afraid, be very afraid
On with chat now. Just gave them my IMEI. We shall see soon
OK, I'm all set. I think, or maybe I hope.
The chat function worked well. After getting past the chatbot I spoke with a real agent, explained my need, and she quickly took my IMEI and got it set up in the system. I got a text quickly that some ATT stuff got activated (I'll be able to turn on spam blocking and such). I was able to go in after a reboot and turn on wifi calling, leaving my preference as using Mobile Network.
I made a test call and it actually used the Wifi instead of mobile, which concerned me. I disconnected from my hotspot and tried a call, and mobile network calling worked fine, though.
Agent said my preference setting should take hold within 24 hours, in any case. We also went into the dial menu and verified VoLTE was turned on:
"Open dial and Type *#*#4636#*#* Choose Phone information option from test Screen. Now you can Enable VoLTE Support Provisioned Flag. Restart your device. Now you can see 4G LTE option under Network Bar. This will activate unlimited HD Voice Calls."
It was on and grayed out, so should be active. Just surprised there was no special icon showing in status bar like my old phone had.
Everything seems to be working so I think I'm good to go. Thanks for your help guys!
edit: after getting me set up she did a hard sell to get me to use the eIMEI for another ATT account. I declined.

See my post above. Enter the code in the dialer to access the hidden menu. It will bring up a screen that shows some settings, one will be the switch for VoLTE. For me it showed on but grayed out, which apparently is the correct setting. If it shows off, that would mean you aren't provisioned for it and need help from your carrier.

*#*#4636#*#* Thanks, very nice. On my N10+/pie this is the only place were the VoLTE setting can be seen as a toggle which is on. Yay.
Oh, one other note. Wifi calling seems to be working fine, though I haven't had a chance to check its integration with Google's visual voicemail.
What I notice is that the decision to use wifi instead of mobile is kinda hair-trigger. At my home, LTE bars are low but calls always work just fine. However, now with wifi calling turned on (with preference being mobile network), the system usually decides to use wifi anyway due to low signal. I also noticed at a grocery store, where my phone auto connects to their wifi, that when I was in the back of the store (weak LTE) it switched to wifi calling mode, then switched back to regular mode in the front of the store (strong LTE signal).
So, the system is conservative and moves over to wifi pretty often rather than treating it like a last resort. I guess that is good behavior.

I have an unlocked P6 direct from Google on AT&T. I have it greyed out but on. Does that mean I need to contact AT&T?
I had never gotten wifi calling set up on anybody my previous phones, so I definitely needed to get that turned on/provisioned for my account. The rep also told me that adding my non-ATT IMEI was needed; indeed several options became available once that was done. I don't think anybody this was needed for VoLTE though.
So pat of this might just have been due to my account history.
To cap this off, I got a wifi call just now and it transcribed fine.

Not needed for VoLTE on AT&T as I can switch the sim card between my AT&T N975U1 and unlocked N975U seamlessly. However I never use wifi, tethering or more advanced features on these two devices... so no idea about that.
