Newbie here.....
I have a Verizon LG G3 that I am using with AT&T.
It works well but a couple of issues I'd like to address.
1) I only get H+ and would like to get LTE
2) I am having issues with sending & receiving mms messages where the pictures wont send if I'm on WiFi but send fine when I'm on the data network.
Is there any way to correct/ improve these issues?
Can I flash the stock AT&T rom on the Verizon phone and would it work?
Any help and/ or enlightenment is greatly appreciated.

oh you never flash att&t rom to this phone....and software wouldn't solve ur issue....you only get band 4 lte if im correct...and you never ever flash any rom other than a "vs985"
also..mms has to do with apn settings...
Thanks for the info.
Do you know if the Verizon version has all the LTE bands as the AT&T version but just has them locked or deactivated somehow?
Is there any way to get LTE working for AT&T on the Verizon version?

I have the correct ATT apns and when I receive a MMS I have to turn off WiFi in order to download the picture. It has something to do with the phone
You will get LTE off AT&T (and T-Mobile) if they are using Band4 in your current area. In some areas they use a different band, maybe band 21 - I can't remember offhand. Our VS985 cannot use band21, it uses band 4 and band 13 for LTE though.
It has been figured out that it is also possible to enable Band3 LTE on the VS985, but that is only going to help in other countries, particularly France.

I recently went through this. I was assured from att that I would get lte. Well, after days of trouble shooting with att and trying different hacks I could only get h+
I even went right next to a strong att tower area and still could not. For mms the only way I could get it to work was by using textra, which had a fix for mms by turning off wifi.
What I have learned is that there are some att bands that are locked out in the Verizon phone. There was an xda post that almost had it figured out but nobody could get it working.
H+ is pretty fast by the way, but I was unsatisfied so I am back on Verizon.
And also, do not ever flash anything other than a Verizon rom and radio.

I would message @autoprime about this. He was recently working on unifying all G3 variants' modems since they all use the same radio with different bands unlocked. He may have a method to unlock the bands you need.

Did you make sure Band 4 was supported in your area? I know that's the only LTE band that is supported by the Verizon G3 variant.
The VErizon version uses only the Verizon modem (radio) firmware. It does not and cannot enable the ATT LTE bands.. Just so happens that one band is the same. For the rest you are out of luck. Read this for more information.

Well I have a Samsung Note on Straight talk and I am only getting EDGE network its a AT&T Sims for Straight talk not the tmobile. My wife has a LG Thrill and its running Straight talk and always has H+ 3 to 4 bars all day. I took the Sims card out of the Samsung note and put it in the LG Thrill and got H+ with no problems. I did drive around town and got 4g anywhere from 2-4 bars but when I got home it went back to EDGE!! I notice in some areas was on EDGE when it should been on H+. I have tried different apns and get the same results. Is there any service code I should be looking at??? If so how do I do that? Where else should I be looking?? Thanks Bud-sc
Straight Talk uses AT&T network so you should get 3G. I also read about a fix to get 4G I'd you're in a 4G area.
But you said you tried several APN's and nothing improved. What modem are you using (settings>about phone>base and)?
Also, check this setting:

You probably used more than 2GB of data in a month or used more than 100MB/day. Your probably being throttled by ST. Might give them a call and if my assumption is correct, act innocent.
Good point. Even the $45 unlimited plan gets throttled at 2 gigs. But it sounds like he never got 3/4G yet.

All go on everything and I only had this new Sims card for 3 days so using to data might out. OK my baseband is T989UVKL1 and here is my zip code 29582. Thanks Bud-sc
That looks like the stock modem. Did you root? I'm guessing yes because you said you changed your APN.
If I were you I would flash the UCLE5 modem from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27863509
Why? It sounds like a reception or antenna problem. So changing modems could improve your reception.
But you need CWM recovery installed to do that.
No the phone is not rooted.I just only change the apn that Straight talk give me then after that I tried a few other apn settings to see if I get different results but no luck yet.I am not going to give up yet but this phone is suppose to get ics this July so maybe then the new fireware might make things better. I hope so. Thanks Bud-sc
Is your phone the at&t or international version? Did you unlock the phone to put in the ST sim card?
ICS is out now. The modem I suggest is the current ics modem.

That's your problem right there sir. Thats a Tmobile Baseband. All you need to do is dial *#2263# and select GSM Bands then select all...and bam you should have 4G or H+ in no time.
another solution is to flash any AT&T Baseband/Radio. But that would require flashing CWM thru ODIN. But no root required for that.
Its the att and yes its unlocked. I checked the update last night nothing yet. Is there away to check the update with out the time limit?? Is there a stock firmware on Samsung web site for At&t??? Thanks Budsc

dude did you see my reply? The T989 Baseband is specific to the Tmobile's Galaxy S2.
And the stock AT&T Radio can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506212
Just flash thru ODIN.
If your phone has at&t logo but has a T-Mobile modem (as the baseband suggests) someone has already flashed a different modem.
Do you know about CWM or Odin? In other words, what is your skill level for solving this problem?
My skill on something like this little afraid too be truthful. Thanks Bud-sc
OK what do I need to download to my computer and how do I do this??MY phone does not or does it need to be rooted???
try disabling mobile data?
Does your phone have the AT&T logo at the top?
You don't need root access to flash a modem.
Are you chatting with me from your phone or a PC? Why? Because you will have to perform the next steps from a PC.

First things of, download drivers for your phone. Enable USB debugging in settings. Then download latest ODIN (i believe its v1.85 or something), then download the http://m-s-j.net/dagnarf/phone-odin-att-stock-radio.tar.

Are you still doing this? and if so what APN settings are you using now?
To clarify as I am sure this question will get asked.
The VZW S4 is already unlocked for other SIMs (T-mobile verified - like the VZW GN2.
I haven't checked the Add APNs section under mobile network settings but assume it is there and working as it now does on the VZW GN2.
EDIT:
To access the Add APN menu you must have a SIM other than VZW in your phone.
Thanks astralentity for confirming.

New here, but I've been following the site for almost 3 years now.
I got my S4 yesterday, and I can confirm that with my AT&T microsim for GoPhone service, I was able to get HSPA+ without any software or hardware modifications. When you have a different SIM in your phone, you can add APN information. After I added the wap.cingular info, HSPA became HSPAP in the Status menu, and I had H+ on the notification bar.
I have no money in the GoPhone account right now, so I was unable to test the speeds on HSPA+. Verizon is still my primary service, the GoPhone is my emergency backup.
Hope this helps everyone! I can provide screenshots after when I get home and able to pop in the AT&T SIM.

I did not need root to add APN info. You should be good to go with international SIMs, since HSPA is available on all bands with this phone, with the possible exception of 1700.
What about that World Data plan that the verizon customer service been telling me all the time when I asked them if the phone would work outside US.
P.S. I'm aslo talking about a 200$ on contract version

The verizon version does not support the 1700 band (according to the Verizon website), so you would need to be in an area that has been upgraded to the 1900 band of hspa+.
Here's the info straight from Verizon;
Network
Network: LTE, CDMA/1xEVDO Rev. A (800/1900 MHz)
Global Network: EDGE/GSM (850/900/1800/1900), HSPA/UMTS(850/900/1900/2100)
Hi all
I have a quick question under your APNs are you only seeing one line "Verizon LTE" as the only access point? I was messing around with my apns-conf file and I wanted to make sure I restored the right one. Does your screen look like this with a Verizon sim inside?

See if the GLONASS works on your phone too - I'm curious.
Metro PCS just announced the S5 without contract for $649.99. Since Metro PCS is now owned by T-Mobile I would assume that their S5 is the same as the T-Mobile S5 with the same LTE bands. Does anybody know this for sure. I am out of town and can't get to a Metro PCS store or a Best Buy to confirm.
I was actually wondering the same thing myself and have looked into it. Here's what I've come up with.
T-Mobile - http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SM-G900TZKATMB
MetroPCS - http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SM-G900TRKATMB
They are both listed as having the same bands and it seems implied they both fall under the SM-G900T. For rooting though it is listed separately as the SM-G900T1.
http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/
That said, perhaps someone can explain any possible differences.
On a side note since I'm trying to figure out which one to buy here is a comparison I've come up with:
tmobile - 720 after tax - unlock after 40 days - 50 per month cheapest
metropcs - 700 after tax - unlock after 90 days - 40 per month cheapest
Thanks for the info. Now the question is which way to go.

This looks like a good way to get a device on ATT and not have to wait possibly forever LOL for the exploit/root/unlock bootloader, etc.

Have one here, requested unlock code from cellunlocker.net. Got an email about 3 hours later that there's a delay and they need to check an alternative database.
I've read it's TMO and indeed it has wifi calling. As long as there are no issues with the unlock code (crosses fingers) I believe this should be a go just like my TMO note 3 on ATT. Have no problems using it whatsoever.
Updating in case anyone is interested.
Got my unlock code about three hours after yesterday's post.
Was able to unlock using deepfreeze code first, then network unlock code afterward!
I called ATT to switch a nano sim to a micro sim and mistakenly gave them the (Metro PCS) S5 IEMI! Don't do this as it will prevent LTE from working. I asked the associate if I could switch IEMIs and she said sure. I gave her the IEMI of my M8, restarted the phone and LTE is now working.
Just flashed TWRP and the Alliance Rom about an hour ago.
Running fine on ATT here with unlocked bootloader.
So if you're on ATT and want an S5 with an unlocked bootloader, this is probably the cheapest option outside of buying on swappa, etc.
I checked the APN settings in Google hangouts and it shows METROPCS as the selected APN, even though I am on a T MOBILE S5 And service.
What's weird is I never set up any APNs since having the phone so it must have came with those settings preinstalled.

I just got the S5 at Metro. Do I have to sim unlock to install roms. I have root and TWRP recovery already. Tried the Slim rom for Tmo and didn't have any service even after changing APN settings. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Topic.
I know the reverse is true. Verizon LG v10 comes unlocked and putting in a T-Mobile sim card works. I have heard people having small issues with 4G LTE calls or extra battery usage, but everything works as both phones share all the same bands except for one.
I love the LG v10, but not having root is driving me a little mad. I've never not had a rooted phone since I got my first smartphone the original Motorola Droid with the slide-out keyboard (and it doesn't look like that will change anytime soon on the Verizon version, if ever). Although LG has a TON of customization stock, I miss the little extras root gives you. At this point I'd be fine with just root access and not even worry about custom roms or kernels.
I'd like to sell my Verizon LG v10 and buy the T-mobile LG v10 H901 so I can have the best of both worlds.
IS IT POSSIBLE?

If I'm not mistaken, Verizon runs on CDMA and lte, tmo is GSM and lte... But most phone now by law must run on all available technologies... Bandwidth might be off a little, but for the most part have to be compatible... This is why, when in network settings, it gives options for CDMA, even though tmobile can't use it... It all has to do with the deregulation of cell service laws they passed a few years back... In layman's terms, they have to allow phones and networks to be compatible (1) for e911 services, and (2) for phone and carrier portability.

Zdeuce2, WCDMA is not the same as CDMA. It is a 3G technology used on GSM networks. The CDMA equivalent is (was?)EV-DO and later, SV-DO.
Unless Verizon has moved on from CDMA as a whole for voice (they might have, I'm not sure) then compatibility will be questionable.
@ZDeuce2, what @LvDisturbed1 said.
WCDMA has nothing to do with Verizon's CDMA. WCDMA is one of the signaling technologies within the UMTS specification, old-school 3G stuff.
In the context of the radio mode selector on our phone, "WCDMA" denotes UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+/HSPA+DC (basically anything that isn't GSM+GPRS/EDGE or LTE).
In other words, the selector values can be thought of as 2G ("GSM"), 3G ("WCDMA"), 4G ("LTE").

The answer is yes, a T-Mobile LG V10 will work on Verizon. However, Verizon actively black lists any phone that is not purchased directly through Verizon. Purchasing an iPhone at an Apple store often runs into this exact same issue. Verizon's poorly trained customer service reps are unaware that Verizon has transitioned to all calls, text and data across LTE in major cities and most outlying areas and insists that the T-Mobile H901 must run on CDMA to connect (false), H901 is not compatible simply because the Verizon employee is told to say so by corporate.
I had filed a complaint with the FCC. Verizon issued a generic response saying that all of "Verizon's" phones are unlocked from purchase and that only approved Verizon devices will function on their network. The FCC was satisfied with this generic response and closed the case. If the FCC continues to receive these complaints, eventually they will make a move in our favor.

I know the reverse is true. Verizon LG v10 comes unlocked and putting in a T-Mobile sim card works. I have heard people having small issues with 4G LTE calls or extra battery usage, but everything works as both phones share all the same bands except for one.
I love the LG v10, but not having root is driving me a little mad. I've never not had a rooted phone since I got my first smartphone the original Motorola Droid with the slide-out keyboard (and it doesn't look like that will change anytime soon on the Verizon version, if ever). Although LG has a TON of customization stock, I miss the little extras root gives you. At this point I'd be fine with just root access and not even worry about custom roms or kernels.
I'd like to sell my Verizon LG v10 and buy the T-mobile LG v10 H901 so I can have the best of both worlds.
IS IT POSSIBLE?

You're on the updated marshmellow Verizon V10 than id assume? Since root was achieved for the Verizon v10 but only for LP.

No, it is not possible, because the T-mobile variant does not have CDMA modem/radio.
Not possible, as others have stated, if it was a Verizon on T-mobile yes because it has both CDMA & GSM radios, T-mobile variant is lacking that CDMA radio.
HELP W/ VERIZON. PORSCHE DESIGN DUAL SIM, INTERNET WORKS. BUT PHONE CALL DOESN'T?
I GOT THE APN WORKING... but phone just freezes..
I am on 129 and BLA-L29.
Wondering if I need to rebrand to turn on VOLTE for phone call to work?
not sure if it will work my friend. the phone does not have cdma.
So data is not based on CDMA? Cause I got data to work?
Also, before they cancelled the agreement, AT&T and Verizon was planning to sell huawei phones, i dont think they would engineer 2 versions of the phone? Only single sim and dual rim, maybe re branding?

Data is not CDMA - it's LTE.
The only way it would work for calls is if you could get VoLTE working.
Huawei did actually make a different (hardware-wise) phone for the US market. But it's not for CDMA networks. We never found proof that there was a verizon Mate 10 Pro, only AT&T.
I know verizon turns on VoLTE by default.
The phone itself should support it on Tmobile or AT&T.
So I wonder if i rebrand with a dual sim, would it work?
Has anyone tried a USA rebrand from a international dual sim?
Or how to activate VoLTE for sure in the mate 10 pro
So I checked the VoLTE and it’s provisioned on the phone as well as HD calling and video calling features.
Next I checked with Verizon and the feature is turned on? So what am I missing??

did you ever get it to work? are you able to make calls?
no, it seems like the VoLTE provisioned jumps back to off when it connects to Verizon. I called Verizon, and they said it's trying to connect on voice. VoLTE is on Verizon and the phone's hardware is capable.
It's really weird, since I bought the phone after PORSCHE DESIGN store had one from Europe dual sim one. They are the ones that told me everything works. I wanted to try it with a Verizon sim there, but they said they couldn't let me try it!
so I have one plus 5 which has the band for Verizon LTE, it connected to LTE and falls back to 3G, calls and internet on 3G.
Mi Mix2 works with VoLTE with Verizon, the APN all populated automatically with Verzion. But I don't think Mi had Verizon certified their devices. but Mix 2 works with Verizon LTE... I will try to take pictures. another phone is ZTE that works with Verizon .. but it's ugly.

so you have the international version? i was gonna buy one from best buy which is the US version i wonder if it will work different
Late to the party here, but have you tried calling Verizon and have them turn off CDMA Provisioning for your account? I had to do that with my HTC U11 since it doesn't have any CDMA radios. It's a pure LTE-only phone.
