Just got my Tmobile variant unlocked and using on AT&T. Only getting 4G. I've seen users having the same issue. Has anyone got LTE working? I've tried numerous APN's from AT&T as well as other suggestions and still nothing. Thanks in advance for any help.
Yes I have lte working on cricket(att). I have attached some screen shots.

I have a T-Mobile phone as well, and I had a more complicated problem getting mine to work. First thing's first - make sure you have your phone properly activated at an AT&T retail store, which is to say you can't have hotswapped the SIM; it needs to be tied to your IMEI. If it still doesn't work, make sure you're using the nxtgenphone APN. If you still have no luck, maybe you have the same problem as me. On AT&T's end, for some bizarre reason, my IMEI got registered as one that could not support LTE, so my line didn't get provisioned for it. I kept calling back, but no one could figure out how to change my provisioning. Finally I got a rep who tried something out of the box. He generated a "dummy" IMEI number for me, one that would be seen on the system as one that supports LTE, and registered that to my line. Lo and behold, that did the trick. I called Technical Support for this (you can ask to be transfered to that department if you call AT&T), so you might have to go through that - the good news is, it was rather quick, and I didn't have to get a new SIM card for it.

I am planning on hooking my S4 up to O2 or Vodafone when I get there with a Talk/SMS plan, but maybe no data.
Will this phone be able to lock in with GPS without having a data plan?
I realize I will need an app that has the maps cached on my phone, any reccommendations on which ones or if this is possible with Google Maps?
Thanks, guys.
Sygic. It is a paid app and costs a bit, though.
I could be wrong but I don't think you have to have a data plan to use GPS. Here's the reason behind my response:
My neighbor has been asking if he can use an unactivated iPhone as a speedometer in his 1930 Model A. At first, I said no, then researched and found mixed responses. So this morning I removed the sim from my S4 and drove to work with a speedometer app I had previously downloaded. To my suprise, it worked.

Try removing your sim card and navigating. That'd answer your question.

You do not need a data plan to use the standalone GPS functionality. If AGPS data is old it might take longer for a fix, but that's about it. It's the maps and software that you'd need to be cached/stored locally.
As proof, here is an amusing screenshot for you, and no, it's not a GPS glitch.
anyone have any experience with one of these free GPS apps?
I picked up a Verizon S4 off CL yesterday after calling Verizon to verify that it had a clean ESN. I buy/sell/trade a lot of phones so this was a common thing for me. Upon inserting my sim card, I received full 4G and about 4 bars of service. Soon after leaving, I dropped to 3G, then no service. I went through everything I know to do:
Reboot / toggle airplane mode
Remove battery and sim
Factory reset
Odin stock image
Changed network settings in "Testing" via ServiceMode Shortcut app
Replaced sim card (twice)
I even opened the phone to see if the antenna appeared broken or disconnected

I've confirmed the device isn't water damaged by the strips on the phone (and inside) and on the battery.
Verizon has confirmed multiple times that the ESN is clean so I honestly can't think of what is wrong. Every time I've replaced the sim card, it could never activate in this S4. Popping it in my other S4 allowed it to activate and function properly. The phone has no physical damage so I don't believe it's sustained any physical damage. GPS works like a charm.
I can only seem to get sporadic signal when driving. Once I had it long enough to dial #832 and confirm it was working. I then lost it immediately.
Of course the seller will no longer answer my calls/texts and Verizon says it's not warranted. Besides sending it to Samsung for repair, what do you guys recommend?

First off, thanks in advanced for reading this and any helpful comments are appreciated. I got my Xperia Z2 back in July. It was the International Version. I came from the Samsung Galaxy S4. I got the the S4 through ATT and the Z2 is my first unlocked phone. Anyway, I took the SIM card from the S4 and I put it in the Xperia Z2. At the time I had no idea about APN's and such so I expected the mobile data to work right off the bat. When I realized it didn't work, I went to the ATT store and they put in the APN settings and the Mobile Data works but I've noticed, it's very slow. On both H+ full bars and LTE full bars I have less than 1mbps download and the upload is even worse. I don't know what to really do. I tried putting in the APN settings myself and I learned about the Internet Settings in the more setting of connections and had the phone get the settings automatically. But still, no matter where I am, my data speeds are slow. I recently put the SIM card back in the S4 and the speeds are fine on there. I already considered if it was my plan but my brother is on the same plan as I am (He has a Nexus 5) and his speeds were significantly faster than me when we were out. I apologize in advanced if I sound like an idiot or an amateur but this is new to me. So again thank you for reading my long story! And here's a link of the screenshot I took of my speeds at full LTE Speeds:

Once the phone is paid off, sprint will give you an unlock code.
As far as root goes, the US versions of Samsung phones will not be rootable.

Anyone know which US carrier can use the Redmi K40??
I tried: ATT, Cricket, T-Mobile and Mint but none of them work.
Any info would help. Thanks.

No English??
I'm using Cricket but when I put the SIM into the new phone it halt the service. I need to call CS to re-activate the service.
I also checked on ATT and Cricket's web site said the phone is not compatible.
