The U.S.Cellular version is cheaper locally by $10. Will it work as the Verizon one does with AT&T? or is it more like Sprint/Boot/Virgin with the sim slot not working for GSM?

Hi, id like to know if the Photon 4G is CDMA or GSM with a Sim Card Slot? because im about to buy one from amazon and id like to know if it is one or both and how to recognize which one is it
It is both, it uses the sim for GSM and uses CDMA without the sim. You cant use a domestic sim for GSM, for now atleast.

Meaning you can't take a sim card from AT&T or another GSM provider within the US and plug it into Photon and expect it to work. Its locked out for GSM in the US. It works internationally though.

I have just bought an unlocked Sprint unit from ebay, hoping to use the GSM slot for my primary pre-paid line in Nigeria, and the CDMA slot for one of the CDMA providers in Nigeria as well. I plan to take the unit to be programmed into a CDMA network in Nigeria; that will cost me about US$50. Meanwhile, I successfully rooted and flashed ParanoidROM JB, but I saw that it showed no GSM signal at all with the JB ROM, so I restored the original GB 2.3.5 Nandroid backup. There seems to be very little documentation on how the dual system works. Will I be able to use both the CDMA and GSM together, in a dual-standby fashion, in Nigeria?
I flashed the KDDI radio and cm10 and have used my MoPho on T-Mobile.
Don't forget to thank all who help!

Yes. It will work, the only thing that you need to change is the APN settings in order for you to get 4G speeds in your device.

Yeah, you will need an LTE plan through AT&T to use the AT&T version of the GSIII.

I get from 3-10Mbps Download depending on where I am with H+. And yes, I am using the International version.
Not to derail this thread, but how strong of a signal are u guys receiving? I'm constantly getting +105dbm (very bad!) on the stock LF2 baseband and was wondering if you guys have a better luck with other radios out there.
I'm on the DXLEA Baseband and my signal is very good.
Do you have a link to the DXLEA radio and does it require root to flash?

No I don't. As far as I know, it was part of the Omega 6.0 ROM that I flashed a while ago.
I know the specs show that it has AT&T LTE bands, but had anybody actually used it on AT&T LTE yet? If so, please report your impressions.
Thanks.

I'm confused why so many people are worried about unlocking and band compatibility. Get the one from your own carrier !

Works exactly the same for me using an AT&T SIM in the T-Mobile HTC one. The other way around, I get less HSPA+ service using an AT&T SIM in a T-Mobile HTC One.

No. The AT&T one doesn't fully support T-Mobile while the T-Mobile one fully supports BOTH T-Mobile and AT&T.
For people who don't want CDMA-based service, the T-Mobile version is the best one to buy for compatibility.

Are you sure about that, Maybe the AT&T version needs to be unlocked for it to work on T-Mobile's HSPA+ Network. I hope like hell it does because I would like to have the 64gb version working on my Network of choice, T-Mobile of course.

This has been discussed to death on the boards.
All the phones have the same internal radio hardware but what's been flashed to each device is different.
i got a att version unlock, big mistake for tmobile. i flashed tmobile rom and radio. alot of places in new york i get 2G which it was constant 4G with my note 2. Place where i get 4G i only get 7mbps. while with my note 2 i was able to get up to 18mbps. Order the tmobile version will return this one. The only reason i bought this is because they had it locally in ATT store while tmobile htc one is on backorder and not avail in any store.
Unfortunately Samsung doesn't just make the same model for both I would imagine it would save them money also but att phones work slow on T-Mobile but other way around your golden

Will verizon s4 work on at&t. Will i be able to get 4g? Thanks
4G as in H+? Then yes.
No, they have different radios. GSM (AT&T) vs CDMA (Verizon)
JaeKay, the Verizon S4 had both radios. I have personally used an AT&T SIM and made calls and gotten H+. So to the OP, YES YOU CAN. You just need to add the APN info after you put in the new SIM card.

Need to root for APN change/add ? or possible to add new APN without rooting?
I was rooted but it should not be a requirement. Just need a non Verizon SIM in the phone.

A co worker of mine pulled a new S4 out of box and put in his at&t SIM sure enough it worked. so non rooted works too.

I have both a TMO sim and and ATT sim, and I got EDGE with TMO. No H/H+ right now on TMO because very few areas are on 1900. Our version of the S4 does not have the ability to use H/H+ on the AWS frequencies, just LTE.
Does anyone know how to GSM unlock the Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3 for use with domestic SIM cards? It's got to be possible; people have done it for the HTC One and S4. I tried dialing *#0011# and pressing menu > back, but that simply does absolutely nothing.

Oh. Yes, I know this. I thought he said the BestBuy SIM, which is why I was confused. Yes, it is only for LTE while in the USA, but it connects to GSM outside the USA. The phone is most definitely fully GSM capable.

Nope. They'll only unlock it for international use. I need to get it unlocked for use on AT&T and T-Mobile, which they will not do.

It's beyond unlock. Sprint's Note 3 radio is patched to ignore T-mobile and AT&T towers in US. SIM unlock will not help in that matter.
If you have it rooted and custom bootloader you might want to try and FLASH Verizon's note 3 modem.bin file to see if it helps (probably not)
