I got my Verizon S4 off of Swappa from a guy who was nice enough to set it up for PagePlus for me. I recently updated to 4.3 and my 3g stopped working. How can I fix this issue? I’d like to learn how to fix this myself so I can do it again when I upgrade to 4.4. Thanks!

Not sure how that works with Page plus, but do you have the correct network mode selected in settings? CDMA/LTE/EVDO

I recently bought an international unlocked S3 from Amazon and popped a Straight Talk micro sim into it. Unfortunately, I am only getting EDGE. I've tried all sorts of APN settings but to no avail. Is there a setting I'm missing or anything I can do to get 3G on this phone? Thanks.

are you still having this problem?pm me your current settings..when i got my st att sim the settings they told me to use did not work.
Having the same problem
Hi, I'm having the same exact problem... if there's been a solution to this can you guys post it here?
For any others with this problem, make sure you have this setting selected: Mobile Networks-> Network Mode-> GSM/WCDMA (auto mode)
Silly me had GSM Only selected.

I know this is an old post, but thanks for posting this solution. I had a big DERP moment when I realized that's what it was, but needed a push in the right direction to figure it out. THANKS! ^_^
I just got my i9205 today but I found that I can not use the mobile data on it. Do I need to set up anything? Thanks.

Could you please share your APN settings? I have tried several of them, but none of them worked for me. Thank you very much!
You would need to get the correct settings from at&t.

I am not on AT&T so how can I post them, a quick phone call or email to AT&T and you'd be set. It is not a matter of what type of phone APN settings are like DNS settings, all phones need them, just some have them built in but some don't.
Ok. Sorry about that. I finally got my 5.8 to work awhile ago.

You need to define the APN. It's strange your att SIM wasn't automatically recognized and the apn settings loaded. I have a 7 year old att SIM and when I put it in my Mega it automatically loaded the wap.cingular APN settings and I had to take no action on my part to enable 3G data.
I am on media net so your data plan maybe different than mine and that could be the difference on why the mega didn't auto define your APN settings.
Here's what I'm pulling down on media net HSPA.
I have an unlocked gs4 from Verizon and I am attempting to use it on Bell Mobility in Canada. I have an LTE sim card which I know works for LTE because I tried it on a note2 which is locked to bell. My apn is set up properly and I can get data but only H or H+. When I try to change the preferred connection to cdma/lte my signal bars go away and they are replaced with the no signal symbol, circle with a line through it. It must be a setting in the phone somewhere but I'm out of ideas. Hoping someone can help or at least point me in the right direction.
I'm a noob when it comes to adroid so go easy on me lol.

You did this on a Verizon S4 and got LTE on another carrier?
Verizon phones are 3g unlocked but only have LTE bands for Verizon LTE.

So there's no possible way to get LTE from another carrier using a Verizon device?
Any way to change the bands?

As far as I know the chip itself is only capable of supporting those bands. Hardware capabilities that can't be changed by software. Not 100% positive.

So get this...
I planned on re-selling the phone to my american friend who happened to be on verizon. So I did the factory data reset to send him a nice clean device. Just for kicks i decided to try one more time to connect to lte. I put the in the Bell LTE sim, configured APN, and selected LTE network connection... and nothing. However, there is an extra setting in there that says "Global", which was there before the reset but never worked. Pressed that... BOOM!.. LTE.
Don't know how or why it worked this time, but I'm happy.

Hello I recently got a flashed verizon galaxy S4 to boost mobile. I manage to get voice, text and wifi working but no data. I was wondering if anyone had trouble with this and knew how to fix it? I also have the donor phone

the only thing I can think of is you don't have the right apn settings
Ah ok I'll try getting the apn off the donor then thanks

Is there anyway to downgrade? I have a tmobile sim in the phone, and the Lollipop update broke the ability to text. I either to need to fix the texting issue, or downgrade.
Thanks,
Eric.
If you got to 5.0.1 via the OTA, there is no way to go back.

That's a bummer, so then that leads to the secondary, is there any way to fix Texting from other carriers, that aren't Verizon? I'm using google messenger.
Maybe it's a APN setting?
Thanks.

Everything else works perfectly, other than sending texting, receiving is fine.

just found out a workaround ... download app called Advance Signal Status from play store, and change your Network setting in the app to WCDMA ... everything should work. I know you will not get LTE, but H+ is good enough for speeds, atleast for tmobile.
