I have a T-mobile pre-payed SIM in my i545 Verizon. Phone works and data but only edge data. I am on a T-mobile partner network (I Wireless). If I install the same SIM in my Windows Phone I got with the SIM, I get 4G.
Any ideas?

Need to add the APN.
Straight from T-mobile:
T-Mobile APN
I did that. That's why I have edge data. Tried both epc.tmobile.com and fast.t-mobile.com. Both work with same results.
Have you been in the ServiceMode menu? Dial *#27663368378#
If not, dial it, choose 1 umts, then 1 debug screen, then 1 basic info. Does it say LTE RRC:CONN, Band 4?
If not, you might have to select the band preference.
If not ...
Can't do that I get "Connection problem or invalid MMI code".

Hello all,
I have been unable to find a clear answer to this question--I hope you will bear with me:
I have a Galaxy Note 2 from Verizon running Android 4.3. Before leaving for a trip to India this week I confirmed with Verizon customer service that the phone was unlocked. In Delhi I purchased a local sim card (from Airtel) and inserted it. Voice and text work perfectly but the data plan does not. The sim works when inserted into other phones but not in this one. The Airtel techs cannot figure it out. I have access to the APN settings under the Mobile Networks menu and have edited the Name, APN, Server, APN type etc. as indicated by Airtel but no dice. When I go to "Select" it finds Airtel after some spinning and when I select Airtel from "Network Operators" I get a "registered on network" message but still can't get data.
Is it the case that Verizon locks the data on this phone? Is there any way for me to unlock this from India? I don't really know anything about rooting phones.
Any help appreciated!
I also use the same handset in India and use other operator sim...no trouble so far in data

Hey there,
So I called sprint and told them I need them to unlock my phone for international travel and they did. I tested it with AT&T and it worked for phone connections but not for data. Any idea how to make ATT data connection to work?
APN settings?
So I need to enter specific APN settings for each sim card/carrier I use?
Depends on provider. On ting.com I did, now on byowireless it just works. Both resell T-Mobile.
Google for your carrier's apns settings, and add them.

Verizon S4 is already unlocked for GSM networks. You will just get "SIM from Unknown Source" error, but will still work. May have to configure DATA info, I know it is necessary to do so in the states.
Open bands
I live in Sweden and it works but only 3g, you must manually edit the APN and have data. I know you can change the bands. so if you manage to open the belt 4G me know. Cheers
manual settings data to mobile
How can I do manual settings data to mobile for 3G or 4G?
Hello. I have an SM-G925F which I bought from Telekom Macedonia and I am still using my number from there also but I am currently in the US and would like to use it on T-Mobile USA.
I know that the device supports all the same bands as the SM-G925T model.
The problem I am having is that when my phone is set to LTE/WCDMA/GSM in the Network Mode settings, I do not have any data connection at all, only when I make a call, I start to get a data connection but only 3G/H+. If I switch my setting to WCDMA/GSM, then I get a data connection at all times like normal but it still is only 3G/H+. I have tried two different APNs and different settings in the APN but I still cannot get a data connection at all times on the LTE/WCDMA/GSM setting and I cannot get LTE/4G at all.
After contacting T-Mobile, all they came up with is to try to have the same software reinstalled on my phone. Does anyone have any experience with this and can anyone help me?
Anyone?
Call Tmobile and have them input your phone's IMEI in their system. Ask for the APN settings as well. I am on the same boat and one call to ATT got me from H to 4G. Your phone will just show 4G, not LTE but you will get LTE speeds regardless.
I tried doing that too. I called T-Mobile a few times and they confirmed my IMEI number being on the account but still no luck. It's really weird..sometimes I get 3G/H+ on the "LTE/WCDMA/GSM (auto connect)" network mode setting on the phone but most of the time, I get NO DATA connection at all..only the signal bars.
Any Update
Did you finally figure it out? Is LTE working now?
Hey everyone
I have the Canadian variant of the LG G5 (the H831) and I have no LTE option in network mode.
I bought this phone from WIND Mobile (now Freedom Mobile) and it seems like they Disabled the LTE functionality for some reason.
I was wondering if there is a way to enabled it?
I inserted my SIM in my friends phone (same model but with Rogers Wireless) and the phone downloaded the APN settings from Freedom Mobile.
That did not work at all and the phone was stuck on 3G just like my phone.
I heard if I install the firmware from another provider, it might work. However it seems the APN settings from my provider are causing the LTE option to disappear from network mode.
Lastly, I accessed the service menu by dialing a code in the dialer and I was able to enable LTE.
However, I was not able to make and receive phone calls.
Did anyone here have success enabling LTE with this model or similar?
suggestions are greatly appreciated!
