This is rediculous
The phones nice but trying to get s good Rom flashed that supports mms and without the SIM error is to hard.
No-one seems to have real fixes
It should have been a STRICTLY vzw phone
All I want is been looking for is a Rom that will flash and have T-Mobile mms and working WiFi and SIM that works

No rom has broken wifi.
To get mms working you need a rom that's gsm only/based off the butterfly.
The sim error is a hardware issue. It has nothing to do with the rom your running or the fact that your using gsm.
And this is strictly a Verizon phone.

newsflash: this is a STRICTLY a vzw phone
because verizon made it (and most of its lte phones) "global" phones to support its customers who travel overseas, its possible to use on gsm networks....which is great and may gsm users pick up verizon devices now
this doesnt mean however, that everything is going to work perfectly for using the dna on other providers.....do not confuse this phone with an unlocked non-branded device....it was created as a verizon lte device
well i live on mexico and i use GSM... and i dont have any issue and my phone is a Verizon...
SIM errors can be fixed by putting a piece of scotch tape on the plastic (read: the side without the metal contacts) side of the SIM. This is a common issue in HTC phones with a SIM tray instead of a slot.
A extremely worthless thread...

I had not heard that a piece of tape does the trick...interesting.

Would you sell your DNA at a really good price to a developer who will be developing for the DNA community when he finds a good deal on a phone?

I just don't understand why someone would buy this phone, expecting to use it on a different carrier. Why not use a phone designed for that carrier's network? That's like buying a phone that is S-on and expecting S-off. You can hope it comes along, but to just expect it is unrealistic.
Yes, I get that the specs on this phone are/were a motivator, but it's not fair to the phone to get mad because you can't make the phone do something it was never advertised to do. And despite the claims to the contrary, some ROMs work just fine for what you're trying to do.

I was thinking the same thing, but found NOS m7 which works well and has literally 0 issue. If you get this rom and you get issues, let me know and I can help. MMS and all is working perfect. Plus Sense 5.0 is ever so sweet.:fingers-crossed:

The ol' ID-10-T error..lol JK!
Okay, to this was a short-lived thread for a reason. But, since it's been revived I'll add that I bought a nice used DNA and I'm a T-Mo customer. Even stock, it worked great on T-Mo here. Granted, I don't live in a 4G T-Mo area anyway so I'm not missing the latest in high-speed data.... anyway, stock I was very pleased. The only thing which didn't work was the wifi hotspot.
Move forward a couple of weeks and now I'm running NOS M7 on it. Thanks to this great forum for the help with that. Wifi hotspot works great, the ROM is robust, and I couldn't be happier.
So, I'm not on Verizon. I'll be using this on T-Mo in the States and on a couple of foreign SIMs when traveling for work. And I love the DNA.

I'm not sure if I you mean will the phone work or will T-Mo service work there. Sorry.... Certainly the phone will work. Mine works fine with a SIM from Germany (Blau) and one from India (AirTel). If you get a Hungarian SIM, it will work.

I traded my Atrix HD plus 50 dollars for this phone..which I think its a sweet deal plus it was unlocked phone so I can use T-Mobile for it. Now I need some help and there is way too much info about this and I don't know where to start Google is my friend,but I came here for shortcuts. I want to root, flash cwm, unlock bootloader and start flashing some rom which I will try to figure out myself. I need help with LTE
I changed my APN to fast.t-mobile.com,but I don't see any LTE signal. All I keep getting is 4G. Not sure if this phone even gets a H+ ( keep in mind i'm still on stock LG) What other settings I need to use to activate my LTE on the APN?
If I'm going to flash a ROM most likely PA or AOKP would this affect anything for carrier? I don't wanna messed up something and relock my phone.

Unfortunately if your not in the area where lte runs on the phones bands your SOL. The optimus G isnt aws so unless your in a big city there may not be any LTE. But 4g on the optimus G counts as HSPA+.

We have LTE in Phoenix AZ we had since it March 26,2013. Before the Optimus G. I was picking up LTE fine with my Motorola Atrix HD also with stock rom. I even flashed it with another rom. Still picking up LTE just fine. Of course I had to change APN to fast.t-mobile.com
Last night I rooted my Optimus G, unlocked bootloader and flash recovery. Wiped factory/reset, Wipe dalvik cache, flashed AOKP Rootbox JB 4.2, flashed Gapps w/ photosphere working, wipe dalvik cache. Success! Rom is great, no issues with it so far except LTE. I even downloaded LTE Settings from the Market no luck. All I get is H+
Do I need to flash a different radio or something? If I do can you or someone direct me to the right radio. Thanks
If I recalled tmobile uses band 4 for data speed. Optimus g does not. So no go I'm sorry. (1,3 and 5?) Does tmobile have actual lte yet? If so maybe modem may not support lte unless someone compiled one that does?

He's saying the modems that the Optimus G has do not run band 4. Therefore you won't get LTE if that is that band they run.

Have you actually tested the speed? It may just not be showing the proper icon.
Either way, putting a different rom on it should do nothing to effect your carrier, aside from included APN's.
Im posting to confirm that the at&t version of the optimus G does indeed run on t-mobiles LTE.

On my Unlocked Atrix HD. I was on stock ROM 4.1.1 and I had LTE right away. When I bought this Optimus G no LTE even on stock rom after messing with the APN.
However I will try flashing the .33 radio on stock rom. Good thing i nandroid back up my stock rom.

Do you get the refarmed 1900 Mhz 3G/H+ in your area?I believe the HSPA+ in my city is the non refarmed version, therefore Edge is the best I get, even after enabling network settings in build.prop (thanks! @id10terrordfw), and after playing around in the service menu. I can get it to connect to HSPA+ on a competitors' network (local carrier called West Central Wireless), and it shows the 4G icon in the top corner, but their network is either a joke (which I have a feeling is the case), or throttle the heck out of competitors' phones connecting to their network. Either way, I simply suspect that this phone just simply doesn't have the band that T-Mobile needs to get fast HSPA+ (or non-LTE 4G, as I like to call it).
I can go into my local T-Mobile store and run speed tests on their Nexus 4 and GS3 at any time and get around 12Mbps. Their GS3 shows 4G (which I know is not the LTE 4G, and their Nexus 4 shows H+).
I've read from various forums members that flashing the Nexus 4 modem is a no-no, but I don't understand that if this hardware is identical to a Nexus 4, why can't we enable/flash support for the band we need. I haven't been out of town to a market that has true T-Mobile LTE to test it, but @STravers says it works, so I don't see any reason not to believe it.
After flashing Cyanogenmod 10.1 I have only been able to connect to 3G and cannot connect to 4G LTE. Does anyone know how to get LTE to work on Cm10.1?
Try doing a full wipe. Data/cache/dalvik, reflash CM.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
Also be sure you have LTE enabled in your network settings.
Were you ever able to regain LTE? This has happened to me as well. I've tried flashing back to stock, changing settings using *#*#4636#*#*, and a couple of others. Still nothing. Hate the idea of relying on 3G.

This happened to me. I ended up getting a new sim card and that fixed the problem.
Try putting your Sim card in someone else's phone that has LTE. If they only get 3G, it's your card. Of they still get 4G, it's something else with your phone causing the problem.

Something similar is happening to me. I'm on Carbonrom 1.8. 4g just stopped working. Have been reading around trying to get fixes. Got a new SIM card from Verizon and it still didn't fix it.
In my phone status it says I'm on CDMA - eHRPD:14, I believe this indicates I truly am on 3g. If it were 13 it'd be 4g. I think I have that right. I haven't come across much that's helpful although it seems this isn't that rare of an issue. Trying to fix as much of it as I can on my own. I've yet to revert back to stock. Have tried going to Beanstown, that did more harm than good (broke sms and didn't go to 4g).

Beans ROM is basically stock if you went to that and still didn't have 4G then there is something wrong with your phone. Try the dialer fix (Dialing the number posted above) and if that doesn't work I would start thinking about a warranty replacement.

Most likely would have happened anyways. Rooting and ROMing don't touch the modems that control your cell signal.

Okay guys I have this problem with my Atrix 4G. It's usually on NottachTrix 2.0.0 or 1.9.0 since 2.3.0 was giving me weird errors. The problems I am having are that I have a strong signal of 4-5 bars and then either after an idle or just by watching it sometimes the signal degrades and eventually it's greyed out with a little x over it and it stays like that indefinitely. I've tried turning the wifi on and off, the GPS on and off, I've done a factory reset. I've repeatedly flashed the radios. 30, 36, 37, and the sbf of OLY_ATT_01.97.00R. I've done it with the sim in and out, with the sd in and out fixed permissions. " And I still have the issue of the signal either being completely off, or just degrading. I'm using this on T-Mobile but when I search for providers all it shows is AT&T and when I go to About Phone -> Status I consistently have between 90-120dBm under signal. What am I doing/not doing right?

i'm not knowledgeable about this issue, but based off of what you said, you're using ATT radios on a T Mobile network. perhaps a T Mobile radio would work? if i'm wrong with this statement, then i am and i'll admit it, but thats what i would try.

"Did u follow the guide on XDA forums? They have the original guide for unlocking AWS bandwidth for ATT note 2 so that it could work on T-Mobile 4G.
If you flashed it correctly your phone should virtually pick up tmobile 4g any where you go.
Unless you live in a rural area that is."
it would be a hardware issue that should be able to be fixed using whatever was used in the case above. it may be about the note 2, but they did ask about other devices, so i would think it might work

From What I was reading, that method was for phones that have T-Mobile Variants that just have the 1700 Band blocked. Tmobile reps say it's probably a SIM issue which I'm hoping it is so I don't find out I have to buy a new atrix. But if its Software I'd love to be able to fix it now and get it over with.

I quite had somewhat similar problem but enabling 'use 2g only' I was able to avoid the loss of signal

Hey guys! Soon I'll be buying a G2 outright. I'm on Telus in Canada and I'm just wondering if it really matters what variant I buy. I see a few different models available to buy unlocked and just wanna be sure there's no big difference for me which one I buy.
I suppose if they'll all work just fine, then I should go with the best dev supported model....if there is one.
Thanks for any input.

All the phones in Canada are the D803 version but I got mine through Wind Mobile which is the D801 and came factory unlocked.
Software versions between the 2 are different as well but I'm not sure what is different.
I'm not sure if there are any major differences between the Canadian models but things I saw through xda are that my D801 from Wind is missing the 3rd mic located by the flash. I haven't tried it yet, but I read that this affects the audio zoom function by rendering it barely recognizable and/or useless.
Also, not sure if you would care (but matters to me) is that I am unable to set my D801 LG G2 camera to mute without rooting and flashing another rom.
Thanks! So 803 may be best then. I see just about all the variants available. So maybe I'll focus on the 803.
I'm really hoping signal strength is better than my S2. I gotta go outside where I live to talk or text. Lol

Awesome! Really bad signal where I live....but my wife's iPhone 4s works in the house, usually, and my S2 never does. Grrrr!

Can anyone confirm that the LTE bands on the Rogers D803 are the same as Bellus?
I may go with a d802....at this point there seems to be more development for it. We'll see in a bit when I'm ready to buy if that changes or not. But seems there isn't much for the 803.

Yes they both use AWS for LTE (Bell and Rogers also have access to BRS 2600, but TELUS doesn't).
I'm using D802

Can a 802 or 801 rom work on the 803? Just curious that is all..
