Hi,
I retired the Verizon Note II a couple of years ago. I bought a Verizon LG G Pad™ X8.3 tablet this last christmas. It has a 4G LTE sim card and of course data works fine on the tablet on a current data sharing plan.
But I wanted to let my daughter have the Note II with data capability so she can text and call with Hangouts.
So I pulled the sim card out of LG pad, stuck it into Note II But it's not recognized, I guess, because I get the exclamation mark by the network bars icon and "4G LTE" never appears and nothing that needs internet access works.
Is it the ROM, or is it that you just can't stick a SIM card from a tablet into a Note II and expect data to work?
The Note II is on a CM rom that's 5.1.1. I can't look at it right now. I'll post later in case the rom makes a difference.
Thank you!

I'm on a iPhone 4S now. I have a micro SIM adapter but I heard that I can't use this sim in the i9100 but its provisioned for the iPhone only. The AT&T local rep said he would give me a new SIM.
1. Can I just pop this SIM into the unlocked galaxy s2 and be good to go?
2. If it needs to be activated I don't know how I'm going to do this because the only phone I have is the iPhone and a regular sim won't fit inside that.
3. If I tell the AT&T that my iPhone broke and my friend is letting me borrow his galaxy S2 and I get the SIM can they activate it without the phone?
EDIT:
Popped the iPhone 4S sim in with the adapter and getting HSPA+ with no change to APN.
As I know (because I owened an iPhone 4 before I moved to Galaxy) you don't have to activate the phone as you had done with your iPhone, when you would have to connect it to iTunes to give you full access to the phone.

Ok. My main question is...will I get HSPA+ speeds off my iPhone 4S SIM? Or do I need to get another SIM from AT&T?
as long as the sim is working, you should get HSPA+.
but you may have to call in and get some items changed on your account as not all the features that are used for an iphone are available on the sgs and visa versa.

What would I say to them not to get flagged by AT&T for using an unlocked phone? Could I tell them that I switched from my iPhone to a friends SGS2?
Hi all got my new samsung galaxy note 10.1 today and I'm loving it. I have one question. I'm on three UK and I put my sim into the tablet it says that three have detected that I'm on a tablet and I can't use the voice and data sim in there. How can I get this to work???
Look forward to hearing from you soon.
Anyway to activate 3G? Phone won't work on AT&T's 4G LTE. Only works on 3G !
AT&T says they have an LTE problem. My phone is the only one out of 4 on the
same acct. (all LTE) that doesn't work. Crazy!
Already had a Galaxy S3 I747 that did the same thing. No VM or rec'd a few hours
later & no Texts (but if I have texts out there not rec'd., I can send myself a text & everything
comes in) all of this on 4g & sporadic receipt of calls. AT&T says its a system problem not the phone.
AT&T put the phone on 3G it works, but their system keeps tossing it back to 4g LTE! AT&T no fix for it yet.

Do you have an LTE sim card?
Check your APN setting. It should be "pta" for access point name.
At&t LTE isn't a complete network. There's only one tower in my area that is LTE. And they do have system problems that can last for days.
Good question on the SIM Card. It has no identifying markings on it, as in the old cards used to have 3G on them. It looks like the old AT&T SIM CARD. If the LTE is the smaller SIM card, the answer is no.
My Galaxy S3 had the smaller card & still had the same problems. Right now (in settings... Mobile Network type) the phone jumps from UMTS
to HSPA:11 yet my wife's S2 reads LTE & no problems. Any phones out there that have the option of turning off 4G LTE besides the IPHONE?
APN is pta & problems since NOV. but just found out end of March it is an LTE problem after I began to contact the ppl at the top of the ladder at AT&T. Techs that I spoke with don't have a clue!
What I can't figure out is why out of 4 phones on the plan, I'm the only one with problems. If it were "just" a system problem it would logically affect all phones. Yet AT&T says it's an anomally with my line.
Wondering if another phone & new number would rectify it? lol
Try sim card swapping with a phone that reaches LTE network.
purchased N9 LTE from ExpansysUSA knowing they were probably euro models. I have a tmobile data only sim and it was registered to this N9 when I got it as well. It worked and shows LTE.. Today I popped in my ATT sim and it showed LTE as well and i was pretty happy with that. i turned the device back off, popped back in the tmobile SIM and now it just shows Tmobile with full signal but DATA shows ! and wont connect to data.
I verified im still using the correct APN, even reset APN to defaults, I checked my Dialer code menu to make sure im set to LTE/GSM/CDMA preferred and it shows LTE status but then shows disconnected.
i feel like Tmobile is now blocking my Nexus 9 from connecting OR the sim has somehow messed up...
I swear i have the worst luck with tmobile sims always burning out.
OK it's working now. So weird how finicky T-Mobile sims and network connectivity are.
was it a data only sim? I got the same thing inserting my phone sim in my N9 but I believe that's because tmobile blocks tablets from working on phone sims.
I don't know about the Nexus 9, but I do know from experience the Galaxy Tab S LTE tablets cannot be used as phones on T-Mobile.
TMO will only give you a data SIM, so calls would need to be done VoIP/app based.
I'd guess the reason behind that might apply to the Nexus.
Oddly enough, TMO *used* to allow the LTE tablets to be used as phones.
But some sore loser in some forum complained about how it affected data plan pricing and so TMO clamped down on the data-only policy for tablets.
Btw, the LTE Euro Galaxy Tab S could only get HSPA/3G on TMO. LTE speeds were not possible.
Ok, I have have a galaxy s4 and my sis sent me her Verizon Note 4. I put my tmobile sim card in and got the this is not verizon notification. I've read some of of the forums here about changing the apn and changed each field like users here said to, changed to global network restarted and I still get no signal. There's still an inactive verizon sim, I've heard factory reset with verizon sim then change apn then put tmobile sim in but that doesn't work either. Please help, this phone is so much better tan my tiny s4 I don't want to ditch it or switch to verizon.
