Hello
I'm from Myanmar (Burma). I bought Sprint LG G3 and I used SIM card from Myanmar. When I bought Sprint LG G3, it came with Android 4.4.2. After I bought, I upgrade to Android 5.0.1 Lolipop. After finish upgrade Lolipop, I can not use Access Point Names feature and Tethering Hotspot feature. And I also can not find these two features under Mobile networks. So I downgrade to Android 4.4.2. But problems is still cause.
I don't know what happen. I want to get back original android 4.4.2 from Sprint Company. Or I want to get these two features from Mobile networks tab.
Please help me

I am new to the whole cellphone scene. I have much more experience in the PC world.
I purchased an Verizon Galaxy S4 (I545) on e-bay, primarily for use as a media device. I have decided to get pre-paid service on T-Mobile. (My wife has a T-Mobile G2 and when I put her sim card in, I was able to make calls.)
I have the T-Mobile sim installed and will be initiating service tomorrow.
After reading many of the threads here, I see a lot of talk about flashing different ROMS onto the hardware. Since I am not a Verizon customer, I really have no need for "Verizon's" version of Android, other than if it is required for the hardware to work properly. I like to have my options for customization and installing various apk's, etc.... I like to control my hardware and not be limited to what one company or another says I should do. I do travel internationally, which is one reason why my wife has the T-Mobile account, since it has great coverage in Europe, etc....
So, I ask this:
Should I flash a different ROM on this beast?
What would be the benefits?
What would be the drawbacks?
Which ROM would be recommended and why?
Thanks in advance for your insights! :angel:
p.s. Before knowing any better, I updated my S4 using Verizon's Software Upgrade Assistant on my PC, meaning I currently am running Build LRX22C.I545VRUGOC1 w/ Kernel 3.4.0 [email protected] #1.
I recently bought a Verizon S4 in the US and am using it back at home in latin america. I want to get rid of the verizon pre installed apps, the verizon bootscreen and be able to unlock the mobile hotspot option.
Right now I have the 5.0.1 Android version with the I545VRUGOF1 Build.
What would be the best way to go? flash it with other rom? in that case witch one would you recommend? I like lollipop if possible I would like to keep it but my main goal is to delete the bloatware and enable the mobile hotspot.
thanks..

For now it seems like root can not be obtained with the OF1 firmware because no one has discovered any exploits. And the bootloader is locked so no roms, recoveries, etc can be flashed. I am in the same position as you but for now all we can do is sit back and wait
Mobile hot spot should already be working too! I use mine once in awhile to connect my nook or something to Internet

Hi all, sim unlocked s-off sprint m9 used to work well on android 6 with official rom. But until the phone was upgraded to Android 7. Data connection stopped working for one operator (NOS in Portugal). However Vodafone works well.
Tried different roms and apn settings, same at all. Data connection does not work on NOS operator.
Does anyone have similar issue and of course any advices?
Thank you all.

Why sim unlock a Sprint variant and not an AT&T or T-Mobile which already support GSM?
did you find a solution?
i have exact same issue.
bought one m9 from ebay with sprint (651) firmware on.
lte was working fine in israel (1800 2100).
after nougat im only getting 3g.
it makes sense that i cant use those bands (1 and 3 i think) on a sprint device.. but it did work with marshmallow
Same problem in the USA
I have (nearly) the same problem in the United States with a Sprint CDMA version of the One M9. The main difference is that my data speed is even worse than 3G, around 10-20 Kbps. Occasionally, I get faster speeds, but I haven't been able to figure out if it is location-specific (but always away from home and work) or due to some other characteristic.
The phone came brand new in a retail box from an eBay seller. It worked as expected for 1.7 years. The OTA update which installed Android 7 (aka Nougat) in early 2017 resulted in the very slow data speeds. WiFi is unaffected, but data is so slow that I cannot reliably send or receive MMS; Google Maps says that I do not even have a data connection for traffic info.
EcoMobile (my MVNO provider; I still have a sprint email address, so I know who is actually providing service) could only suggest resetting my phone; did this twice with no change in operation (but several of the programs which automatically re-installed themselves operated differently, including GMail no longer providing auto-complete for addresses).
After literally 2 hours in chat with htc, they told me that my MEID indicates my phone was "made in Taiwan". I took this to mean that: 1) the person I was chatting with had poor English skills (because aren't they all made in Taiwan?), and 2) my phone is gray market (meaning it was not imported into the country via official channels, even though the manual was in the American version of English).
I came to XDA looking for an answer, too. I was mildly surprised to see that this topic was at the top of the list for the One M9.
The best solution for my situation would be the proper ROM for my phone, but I don't know how to figure that out from the MEID. htc USA says they cannot help me with this.
I could even go back to Android 6, but I do rather like the new features in Nougat.
Alternatively, I could root the phone and install a 3rd party ROM, but I still need to know how to choose the proper one for my phone.
I hope this info finds its way to a helpful expert.
Regards,
Jeff
Hi guys,
I know this is an old phone but I just got an old Verizon g2 off eBay to play with because it is easy to run the apps that I'm wanting to run with it. The only problem is that my service sucks now. I got an AT&T straight talk card and am using it but with it I will have 4glte one second and then it'll have no service whatsoever the next. Also when I loose service my phone number and everything disappears from about phone tab. I've tried as many different apns as I could find. What would be the best was of fixing this problem. I monitored my signal to see what happened when I lost it and it said possibly an escfb issue. The phone is a Verizon vs980, running 5.0.2, rooted and busybox. The only other things that I have done to the system besides install some root apps (mostly protesting) is change the system file on hotspot provisions so I can use the hotspot without Verizon. Thanks for the help guys
For those that are familiar with the beloved Verizon gUPD (grandfathered unlimited data plan) I learned that unlocked phones would bypass the subscription check...but recently on Reddit someone told me that his update to Android 11 (on his MotoG ) broke his hotspot capability....so I'm wondering if there's anybody out here that can confirm or deny Android 11's effect on hotspot access
