I have the VZW S4 variant on OF1. I rooted and at first, had access to the Signal app, but now, however, I do not. Even with that app, changing it to GSM only gave me 3g but with NO DATA. So, calls and texts worked, but I got NO DATA.
My problem now is trying to figure out how to get data working under GSM.. and how to make the signal app work again. Like I said though; even when I used that app -- no data.
Help please.
The thread below may help. Can you provide a little detail on your steps to root, ROM, and data info i.e. APN, network settings, Signal App Status info, etc.
Here you go:
forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/help/galaxy-s4-i545-verizon-outbound-text-t3186668
Rooted with Mobile Gogo. ROM is stock. APN network settings are T-Mobile's. Signal App won't let me do anything, as I've said. It's locked.
Also ---
When I /COULD/ use the Signal app, and change it, on 3g and HSPA+ I got TEXT but NO DATA.
This is my problem./
@DMiller92 your problem is super simple. T-mobile is gsm, it uses a different kind of technology than verizon which is a cdma network. I've never heard of a verizon branded phone being able to switch to a gsm network. If it's not impossible its at the very least much harder than you realize. Phones do exist that are built specifically to be able to use either network, but a verizon branded device will never be one. Your limited to switching to other cdma networks eg sprint

Not exactly. There are lots of people that got it "sort of working" verizon i545 is a "global phone" in the sense that in countries outside of the US it is made to connect to 4g gsm lte networks as cdma is being depreciated in countries like mexico and canada. Meaning you need to use the 4g apns if the service is available in your area. Non 4g vzw devices dont work in many parts of mexico and canada, or do not work well anymore for this reason. It does not have hardware meant to pick up standard gsm 3g networks.
Tl;dr use 4g apn settings.

That sounds like a rom issue. If you're lucky enough to have an unlocked bootloader your best bet would be to just flash a tmobile rom btdubs. Try heading to stang5litres rom and flashing the vzwwififix.zip. make sure to wipe dalvik and cache

You will also need to change the smsc number to +12063130004 and change network mode to gsm(auto).
I did this with an app called advance signal status, you will need your su binary at 2.49 or higher. I'm now fully functional on tmobile. The files needed are inlink below

You are totally wrong. The i545, in addition to LTE Band 4 (T-Mo's primary one), has WCDMA/HSPA radio capability on PCS (1900mhz), which is now T-Mo's primary 3G band, as well as 850mhz (AT&T), 900mhz (other countries), and 2100mhz (other countries).
@tengtengvn thanks for reiterating that. I was going off the outlines listed on Verizon's CDMA retirment FAQ page which lines up with what I said outside of device specifics.

Hey you guys has anyone experienced this happening?
After flashing each T-mobile modem individually I can not receive a LTE signal, I can however receive ATT 4G and T-mobile seems to work. After flashing back to the stock ATT modem is when I receive LTE as normal.
I'd appreciate any comments/suggestions/stories about this. Help!
Uhm tmobile doesnt have lte.. it only has hspa + (4g) I wish it did tho...I wish it did
I must have forgotten to mention I am using At&t SIM card and I'm not getting an LTE signal (only 4G) after flashing to the T-mobile modems available to gain T-mobile's 4G/HSPA+
any ideas why I'm not getting Att LTE now?
Oh sorry i misunderstood. Idk man I cant offer much help then. Did you try resetting your apn settings? Also what rom are you on? GB or ICS?
no havent tried that , how do i do that on the gnote?

i'm scratching my head to read your post OP. You complained that you didn't get LTE signal after you flashed Tmobile modem, but you have LTE when you flashed back to ATT modem and you are using ATT SIM.
I still don't get it why the heck you need to flash Tmobile modem for while using ATT SIM?

I have SIM cards for both carriers but I mostly use AT&T's.
I'm sorry but the T-Mobile and AT&T modems are mutually exclusive. The T-Mobile modems are pulled from other devices that do not have lte hardware. The AT&T modem does not enable the T-Mobile HSPA+ bands. You can't have both. If you honestly use both Sims, keep a copy of each modem and flash whenever you swap.

I appreciate the reply. So you are saying in order for me to receive either, HSPA+ or LTE, that I have to flash back and fourth...
Here is the source of the method I used:
http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...e-3g4g-hspa-on-your-att-galaxy-note-sgh-i717/
and quote from that tutorial at the very bottom of that page:
"There’s also a hack you can switch bands by dialing *#2263# but you don’t have to do this, just leave it on Auto so you can use both T-Mobile and AT&T SIM cards with one modem. No, you don’t have to flash the AT&T modem back to use AT&T. "
I recently tried again to play with mods, thinking now about 3 types ... either JB sandwich for ics or something like the collective or nighty.. as JB 4.3
The real problem I have now though is that my phone tries to go for 2G and 3G, 4G instead of Bell network HSPA and LTE ... that is a real pain and I wondered what is doing that ?
I changed the modem file but it seems it is not solving my issue (I'm still a newb) ... so would it be the kernel or any other file I need to change to revert back to the Bell Canada network ? :crying:
Thanks in advance for your help !

Alright .. I really need your help guys !!
So far, it seems I have the right APN but ... when I use my phone, it tries to go on 3G as well instead of sticking to H+ (HSPA) for Bell ... causing delay and problems or annoying if you want.
How could I run JB Sandwich with my phone just trying to get HSPA or LTE (Bell network) instead of trying to get 2G, 3G and 4G ??
Kernel ? .. any other file that drives that part ?
Thanks a ton to the one that will help me with that

Make sure you have the correct APN settings and have fun. HSPA+ only I believe.
Any trick to getting the stock SIM out other than resorting to tweezers? It's a tight fit in there.

You can pop in your SIM, set the correct APNs and it will work fine on AT&T. Some people report they have LTE if AT&T uses band 4 in your area, otherwise you will HSPA/HSPA+
Here is a link for the correct APNs: http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB424489&cv=820#fbid=ujA3THHGA0a
no 4g lte?

Are you saying this because it shows "H" on that status bar or you ran a speed test and the speeds are that of h and not HSPA+ ?
With the correct APN settings the VS985 will get 4gLTE on both T-Mobile or AT&T (AIO/Cricket too), but only if they are using band4 in your area. Otherwise, H, H+, EDGE, whatever else is available works fine. Remember to reboot after settings things up.

Hello there,
I saw a z5 compact listing on ebay with these specs:
4G FDD-LTE B1(2100), B2(1900), B3(1800), B4(1700/2100), B5(850), B7(2600), B8(900), B12(700), B17(700), B20(800), B28(700), B38(2600), B40(2300)
3G W-CDMA 850/900/1900/2100MHz
2G GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz
The phone is a pre order from Japan. My question is will this work here in the US with T-mobile 4g lte? Or should we wait for the US release?
Also, if we order this (from USA) will Sony give us warranty given it was ordered from Ebay and from Japan?
Thanks!
It should support every T-Mobile LTE band in the US, with the only question on that front being if the Z5 series has VoLTE support for where T-Mo has Band 12-only coverage.
You'll also note that this phone also dropped 3G/HSPA+ support on 1700MHz, but I'm not too concerned actually since T-Mo has been refarming all their AWS/1700 band spectrum over to LTE anyway. Where I'm at in Chicago they've already converted AWS HSPA to LTE and there's only HSPA+ service on 1900 band. What part of the US are you in?
I just received my Xperia Z5 Compact E5823 (Customized Taiwan Firmware Model) and set it up on T-Mobile USA (Los Angeles Area). The 4G LTE works as well as previous Xperia Zs (I've had Z3c and Z1c) but the only thing I noticed is that it doesn't explicitly show the LTE symbol (it will say 4G instead). However, I'm hitting nearly 60Mbps download and 15Mbps upload.
Regarding Band 12 (700Mhz), I have actually seen the phone drop into that mode when I'm in known dead zones, elevators or underground parking garages. In the couple of cases when I knew I was in Band 12, I was able to send receive SMS messages. I don't think I was able to receive data though so I'm not sure if there's full support for this phone yet on Band 12. At least we know they haven't disabled it completely.
I'll do more tests this week and see if I can get more data on this.
Here's the APN settings I was using. I setup these 3 APNs based on what I saw when I plugged my SIM into my wife's Nexus 5X. Anything not listed means just use their defaults:
T-Mobile US 260

the 4G indication is the same as LTE here in the states and other European countries. If you flash the new 32.0.A.5.32 Customized CE1 firmware you will see that the indicator now shows LTE when connected with LTE service.

Not the OP, and I'm certain its someplace on this forum, but being new to Android and whatnot, how do you go about flashing, and where do you find the customized firmware? What's the difference between flashing and rooting, and is it dangerous to flash (will I break anything), or is it pretty straightforward?
Thanks!

I'm not an expert, and this is my first Xperia device. But, it seems that the xperia series, and sony, is very inviting to having users/developers flash their own firmwares. From what I hear, it would be very difficult to brick your device. If you are just looking to flash stock firmwares that sony releases then you don't have to root your device. You will only have to root your device if you want to start flashing custom firmware. You should visit here to read more about how to flash stock firmware: http://www.flashtool.net/
Ok, thank you very much. So if, like the OP, I wanted to see LTE instead of 4G on my phone, I would have to probably root the phone first then apply a customized firmware (32.0.A.5.32 Customized CE1), correct?

no, you don't have to root your phone at all... you don't even have to reset it, you just have to apply that version of the firmware using the flashtool app. This is a sony firmware, not a custom firmware.
Oh, I see. Thank you!
I'm using a Z5 which has the same bands as the compact. I use it in New York. It does connect to band 12 LTE and does show the LTE logo when connected. However, when a call comes in, it goes back down to another band as soon as the call is about to come in. There is an VoLTE on/off option in the settings but this doesn't seem to do anything to the operability on T-Mobile US.
Sorry, this is a little confusing. Are you guys using LTE discovery to confirm band 12? Also are you saying volte doesn't work at all?

Yes, I was using LTE discovery to confirm band 12 connection. It definitely works well for data but VoLTE doesn't work since the phone hasn't been verified by T-Mobile USA yet. As of now, there are now Z5 plans for the US so it's hard to say if they'll ever do it...or if T-Mobile will relax their requirements.
Hmmm. I thought the certification was for band 12, not volte??? I.e, the Nexus phones currently have volte but do NOT have band 12 yet. If you look at extended range LTE on T-Mobile site, this also kind of confirms that meaning they talk about certifying for band 12. Moreover there is not really anything T-Mobile can do to change what the phone can do in either regard. It is up to the OS to control those.

I can 100% confirm there is no HD Voice or VoLTE and I'm on 32.0.A.6.200. Pretty big bummer if you ask me. Not sure on Band 12 yet as it is not where I am now but highly doubt it works.
I can also confirm Band 12 working.
Sooo I have the US998 variant of the v30, or more specifically the V30+, and I use AT&T as my carrier, I have a plan for 4G LTE on AT&T, But my phone only gets what would be considered 3G, as it shows 4G on the phone, but apps like speedtest recognize it as 3G, and the speeds aren't the best, I've also had to use a different APN for actually being able to use my data.
Software Version= US99830B
APN I'm Using:
APN= wap.cingular
port= 9201
username= [email protected]
password=CINGULAR1
MMSC= http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy= wireless.cingular.com
MMS Port= 80
MCC= 310
MNC= 410
APN Type= default,mms,supl,hifli
I don't know if that helps, but if any more information is needed, I will provide it.

You are using some kind of outdated APN.
I have US998 V30/V30+ on AT&T, as does my wife, my mother, sister, brother-in-law, several friends.

Yeah I know I'm using an old outdated vpn, but it's the only one that actually allows me to use my data.

Change your APN if you want LTE and data.
Do you not see my speed test? That's not even the fastest. If you have LTE of course you have data, and FAST data at that.

I've tried AT&T's nxtgenphone apn, the phone apn, and neither of them let me use LTE.

Then you should ask AT&T what's wrong with your account. Everyone I know with US998 V30/V30+ on AT&T is using the APN I have.
Each speed test uses about 100MB data, by the way.

What phone did you switch from? I assume you just put your SIM card in from the old phone?
For some reason, AT&T thinks you have a 3G phone. That's why the "AT&T Phone" APN doesn't work for you and only the outdated WAP APN works. You need to contact them and tell them you have US998.
When I went to their store I told them I had US998 and if they didn't know what the was, I told them to pretend it was an AT&T H931.
