Hey guys. So I'm new to the z2. I bought an unlocked D6503 off of eBay and it works great on with T-Mobile Sim, gets LTE no problems. I've been using it fine on T-Mobile on stock .314 and various stock based Roms, but I just read that T-Mobile might use a separate kernel. Could this be why I can't get reliable data on any non stock ROM?
Is anyone running any non-stock based ROM such as CM, AOKP, or PA on T-Mobile's network?

Yeah , U.S. Just tried CM11 and same darned thing. Says LTE but no data coming through, restart and data works. Then I use WiFi for a few mins and turn it off.... Right back to LTE symbol and no data coming through. This the most annoying problem ever. I feel like it has to be some kind of access point name or baseband issue.

I think for whatever reason, it won't connect to IP4 on Tmobile. The one that's set normally doesn't ever work unless I change the protocols to IPV6, or select the "Tmobile IPV6" APN. That has to be the issue causing data to not be able to hand-off from wifi when wifi is switched off, but question is why?
Used a Z2 on T-mobile for months without problems.

Thanks. Must be something on my end I guess. Did you happen to have flashed anything not stock or stock based on it while on Tmobile? Did it have any issues then? Mine works 100% normally on stock or stock based but has issues with the data described above on any AOSP, CM, PA whatever ROM. That's why I'm convinced it pretty can't be a hardware issue, or it would be screwing up on stock too. In theory...

Hey all,
I'm headed to Korea this week and I was going to reflash my ROM to allow for GSM data. So I'm looking at the Venasaur (Charmander if it gets released in time) or MIUI. I'd still like to use it on CDMA until I leave, but easily switch it to GSM while in Korea for data usage.
What's the easiest/best of the two to use?
I'm currently on Scott's ICS Dev Edition as I prefer the stock ICS feel. I could put up with a theme for a couple weeks while I'm there though.
Otherwise, I'm using my old Captivate while I'm there as I know that'll work, but the GPS is practically unusable.
Thanks!
Super
Pretty sure you can run GSM on your current rom. Settings>Tweaks>Misc>Phone Info. The antennae selection is on that screen.
You can get gsm on any rom, its sending sms and a couple of other issues that only miui or any sense 4 rom work it out using the gsm fix patch.
I'd say use miui, both cdma and gsm is working out of the box with cdma sms sendung being the only issue.

Data's the big concern. I don't plan on using voice too much, if at all on this trip. I mainly want data for Internet, GPS and translation.
Have people been able to use data without trouble on other ROMs besides those two?

Yeah data is a go but you're probably have to manually set up your APN.

That part I usually expect while I'm abroad. Vodafone in Prague had me up in running with the APN info in under 5 minutes when I was there last.

I would just use vennasour. We know it works and you never know in an emergency what type of service you might need whether it be voice, texts, or data.

I'm not trying to hijack this thread, but I was wondering if Korea uses the same kind of cellular networks as China? I might be going to China. Would be great to keep the rezound and swap sim cards.

That RUU came from the last official update, so it SHOULD work fine. But when you usewords like "perfectly" then all bets are off..
Nils BCS ROM based on 3.6 is supposed to be global. There are probably others tho.

haha, my "perfectly" is not that perfect actually. i just need calling and data works with no problem.
nils roms based on 3.6 and 4.0 have any difference, besides sense version? i hope 4.0 rom is global either.

As the title states, my data is not working in areas that are not reframed. It will default to 2g or g in these areas where it was originally hspa+. This came after installing ARHD from the international htc one forums. I tried flashing other ROMS after and even restoring my nandroid from stock but that did not fix the problem. If anyone knows a fix to this it would help me a lot because most of where I live is not reframed.
That is very scary. Sad news, sorry to hear OP

You know, you might go ahead and try flashing the TMO radio from that thread. Since your model is TMO, it might work.

Did you just flash or rooted it?
Does anyone know if it's possible to rip this out of the stock firmware, so that it can be used with custom ROMs?
I want to use a custom ROM, but I can't because I need WiFi calling at home (crappy reception).

Trickdroid has wifi calling. I'm using 5.6.0 and it works great. It's 4.1.2. We have to wait for t mobile to release code for a 4.2.2 rom to get it working on the latest version.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Its baked deep in the ROM so only T-Mobile custom ROMs would be able to run it.
Flash THIS on any 4.1.2 based Sense ROM. DO NOT FLASH ON 4.2.2!!!!!
I have the Maximus 7 rom and it runs wifi calling pretty well. I think any 4.1.2 Rom will run wifi calling just fine

I don't get it. That file is over 900MB how is it adding wifi calling to the developer edition? It seems like a new rom. I would like to add wifi calling to the developer edition. Anyone know how I can get this done?
That is not what I originally posted. I have no idea how that happened. Let me look on my computer for it and repost it.

why not try other options, I have 2 T-Mobile phones, running international roms, check out my signature.
I speak to my wife using, Vonage free app, magic jack, also viber, and nettalk,
all through wifi apps, I have all the internation stuff blocked not to get billed, whenever she goes to anyone's house with wifi it works.
try it out, they work.. internationally, so they will work here also.

So I got an unlocked Verizon-VS980 LG G2 (I have t-mobile) and when I first started the phone it could connect to the t-mobile service right away, however after a few minutes of playing with the phone, it knows there is a sim card, but is not connected to t-mobile. The only way I can get this to work is to switch over to an AOSP rom but I really want to use a stock one. Currently using Xdabbeb and it's still not working. Any help would be great!

Yeah for sure it was unlocked. I used it for a few days before the problems occurred.
If this is any help, I've used Mahdi rom and it worked but, but I hate using Google camera and most custom cameras don't support it. Also the battery life isn't where i like it to be (using greenify and all the other what nots)

When you got the device did you buy it from someone and did it already have a rom installed?

I just recently switched my phone to straight talk and it will only work on KitKat ROMs. When I was on Verizon I had AICP as a dd. But no 5.0 ROM has successfully been able to pull up apns. Or allow me to create apns and save them. They don't save.
I'm running the latest 4.4.4 slimkat. And PA 4.4.4 works. Haven't tried LS.
.
I may have misunderstood the question. Of course you can use any VS985 rom/modem whether you are on Verizon or not, with the possible exception of cm12 Lollipop roms due to APN issues.
What I was worried the poster might have been asking was whether he could move to a different variant's rom or modem, a non-vs985 rom, like a T-Mobile rom or radio, if he wanted to drop Verizon.
That would not work.
