Can anyone tell me what settings I need to change to use a t-mobile Sim with my Verizon v10?
you need to change the APN. its a bit of a pain but it does work. At least it did on my old S4

BeameD From My LG V10... The one with the ALWAYS ON SCREEN... Watching me.. ?
Thank you chiikko561, that helped.
I set up the APN. I was only getting Tmobile's Edge network. If I changed the network mode to LTE/CDMA if forces it to LTE but I cannot make calls or txt. I am trying to find an option for my Verizon unlimited data plan. I cannot get anything but satellite for internet where I live. This phone would become our home internet hotspot. I don't really need talk/txt on this phone so I guess LTE would work for me, just want to solve it. Any suggestions appreciated.

Do did changing the apn work for you do make calls and use LTE? Or are you still only able to do one and not the other without changing the network mode?
Did you turn volte off?
Phone does not have band 12.. No Volte.. That could be your issue

VoLTE is not dependent upon band 12. I have TMO and am on band 4 with VoLTE...
It's strange but I think Verizon is behind this issue because I can get LTE using the LTE/GSM/UMTS for about 30 seconds then it just drops from 4G LTE to H. When I turn off Mobile Data then turn it back on it will see T-mobile's 4G then drop again.
Am trying to do switch also my V10 from verizon to tmobile when I put my sim in it automatically switches to tmobile apn and does the same it shows 4g/let then goes to H any suggestions....
You may never get full function of the Verizon phone on T-Mobile.
Reason is Verizon runs on CDMA and T-Mobile runs on GSM.
And I don't think the V10 has the ability to be both.

I've racked my brain on this for hours, searched and searched and come up empty, now I'm putting it to everyone here for some help.
Today, my phone has been saying that I'm roaming, no matter what network I'm connected to. I'm on AT&T (have been since 2005) and haven't had this problem up until today. I'd expect it to display roaming when I'm on a partner network (US Cellular/UNICEL), but now it's doing it when connected to AT&T's towers and I can't use any mobile data.
I hadn't changed ANYTHING today (radio, ROM, APN settings, etc.) before it happened. I've tried several things in an attempt to fix it, as well: switching from CM7 (my current ROM) back to Aura; reflashing the latest AT&T radio (from both the CM7 post as well as kenn's Alien post); resetting the APN list to default; manually entering the 4 AT&T APNs (US, US HSDPA, US Tether, and US MMS).
I'm at a total loss and need some fresh minds to take a crack at this too.
Here's what my current "About Phone" looks like:

Try to restore default apn's. the stock AT&T ones, not the single one that comes with cm7
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
I had a similar issue once when my father and I were on a long trip. Both of our phones just stopped having a data (and probably voice too). Mine was running CM7 while his was stock gingerbread. I had to fix both by enabling international roaming and this remained a problem for several hours until either time or distance fixed the problem.
Essentially it looks like AT&T was actually the problem since we were in the middle of Wisconsin in an area that had pretty good signal. We never saw an issue on the bill and once international roaming was turned on my data speeds were perfectly acceptable.
I know it isn't the same issue, but if your phone functions normally then I wouldn't worry about it unless it takes more than a couple of days to clear up.

The thing is, I haven't travelled at all; I'm in my home area. It's good to hear that you were able to set International Roaming without being charged, though. I'm hoping it's just a problem on AT&T's end, but I haven't heard anyone else complaining about it yet...
Called AT&T to verify no towers down in your area? You stated you have stayed in your home area. It's entirely possible there is work going on on the tower you usually connect through, and this has resulted in you being on a partner tower and roaming. Just a thought.
I am running my note on h2o and have successfully been running on 3g and 4g(hspa+) but I have been searching through google and even asked an h2o cs rep about the note gaining access to att lte service but i have gotten no luck on finding an answer. So i thought i might as well ask here. Do any of you know if ATT will allow mvnos to access their lte network?

Hi,
Is there a way to let my Z2 Force using LTE?
I'm in a place where LTE signal is not so strong, so I think the phone preferred H+ than LTE. My friend told me that he was positive that there is LTE signal here.
Thanks advance.

You can go to service menu ( *#*#7378423#*#*) and go to service settings/network mode.

You can choose LTE only but that's not smart thing to do.
If there's no LTE signal you won't have signal at all and battery will discharge faster because your device will struggle to connect to and fine LTE...
LTE/WCDMA is perfectly fine.
If there's LTE signal device will use it.

For some reason my Xperia was stuck using hspa+ even
though I knew I had a good lte signal here and I saw that
it was set to use wcdma only for some reason.
No longer available in lollipop?
Hi,
After upgrading to lollipop this option is already n/a (not applicable) can anyone please help how I can force LTE only in this phone?
Interesting on the Z2 it says "Network Mode N/A" in grey. On the good old Z with Lollipop its still working. Just used it to force the better LTE for USB tethering.

I have a D6503 with A.0.167 from taiwan. When I use it on T-mobile network, the preferred network mode is 4G(preferred)/WCDMA/GSM. I never see an option with LTE in it. Also, the signal is very weak. I'm under the impression that the phone never connects on the LTE network.
Does anyone know what I shall do to fix the problem? Thanks!

Are you sure this is a D6503? I use my imported D6503 with T-Mobile and LTE works fine on 23.0.1.A.0.167-

T-Mobile's network doesn't have the strongest coverage, but whenever you have an LTE signal it should connect that way.
My options look like this:
Preferred network mode
-WCDMA only
-GSM only
-WCDMA (preferred)/GSM
-LTE (preferred)/WCDMA/GSM
I'm positive. I got the information by dialing *#*#SERVICE#*#*.
Could you please tell me your customization version number? It can be found by dialing *#*#SERVICE#*#*, and then select SERVICE INFO -> SOFTWARE INFO. Mine is 1281-5456_R1B, which is for phones used in Taiwan. I am wondering whether that matters and whether I should flash a different firmware.

USA its called 4G which is only 3G/3.5G. Which I don't agree with.
While in other countries 3G/3.5G is called H+/3G

Understood now. When the signal was good, I got 24Mbps down and 12Mbps up. So it's good.

What is interesting is that he has a Taiwan ROM and Sony has the LTE / 4G terminology is swapped by geographical area.

It wouldn't be impossible to get 24 Mbps down on T-Mobile's "4G" HSPA+ network, I've gotten 23 Mbps a couple times. 12 Mbps upload would be a bit of a stretch, usually only 2-4 Mbps are seen.
My phone has customization version 1281-1981_R1B. I can't quite remember off the top of my head but I believe this phone was destined for the Indonesian market.
I'm in the USA. Got this phone, put my FreedomPop SIM in (a AT&T MVNO).
And pretty much everywhere in my city it stayed at 3G.
I ported my number to Red Pocket (another AT&T MNVO) because I was sick of FreedomPop's messaging app you're forced to use.
With the RP SIM, same thing, mostly 3G.
I know this phone doesn't support AT&T's main LTE band 12/17, but supports 2,4 and 5.
So, playing around with settings (*#*#4636#*#*) I changed Set Preferred Network Type to: LTE/UMTS auto and it changed from 3G 850MHz (Band 5) to 4G Band 2.
Will it fall back to 3G when it needs to with this setting?

OK, I changed my Preferred network type from 4G/3G/2G to 3G/2G and it automatically changed to 3G.
Changed back, and back on 4G.
Think I'll be OK.
Something to check for fellow US users that might have this issue.
I'm also in the U.S.and have freedompop but I get 4G. At least it says 4G in the status (not LTE). I don't know whether I'm actually getting 4G speed. Seems fast enough.
Good to know this trick, in any event
Thanks
