I've been so excited for the Moto Z, but I just learned that the unlocked version will be GSM only. Great.
I use a local carrier that is CDMA. We use Verizon towers and LTE so phone calls, data, and text messages will work but MMS will not work without the proper APN settings. My girlfriend bought a Moto X from Moto Maker a couple years back, and since there was no unlocked version at the time she went with the Verizon version. She was unable to edit the APN settings until the Lollipop update hit her phone. For some reason Lollipop allowed her to edit her APN.
My question is, do you think the Verizon Moto Z will be the same way? Kinda of bummed I might have to miss out on this phone, or go without MMS. Really making me consider switching carriers.
Where did you learn that the unlocked Z will be GSM only? I would think they'd follow in the success of the MXP. I've personally ordered 5 of them. If the Z has an unlockable bootloader and its CDMA capable I'll be ordering them as well.

MMS and everything works fine for me on AT&T, just not LTE right now, even though the at&t LTE bands are supported.

Update, you have to activate the phone on Verizon before you can use LTE. I just did it and paid $45 for the prepaid plan. And now I have LTE

I've done some research on the topic but am having a hard time finding a definative answer on the topic.
I bought my phone thru Verizon (paid in full) intially to ensure I would keep my unlimited data plan. Since this purchase I've discovered that T-Mobile has s $30/mo plan that fits my lifestyle just fine. My intent is to sell my plan (craigslist/ebay/etc) to get out of our contract and make some $$$ on the side.
When I bought this phone 1 of the major draws I saw was that, even though it's a Verizon phone, it wasGSM compatible. I've read plenty of posts about users throwing in a ATT sim card and being good to go. On the tmobile side of things, the results aren't as clear.
So.... Long story short, I'm looking for a definative answer if the Verizon GS4 will fully work on T-Mobile's GSM network and if so, where might one find some guidance on what I need to do if there are any necessary steps involved.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Plain and simple... No, the Verizon GS4 will not work on Tmobile. Verizon is cdma and tmobile is gsm. It will not work

These questions are tricky. Work!? You have to define that word before you get your answer. Voice works and so as data IF you add APN manually (or if it comes automatically from T-Mo). Now by data you mean 2G(EDGE)? 3G(HSPA)? 4G(LTE)? It also depends on whether you are in an area where T-Mo has re-farmed 1900 HSPA. If you are in one of these areas then you got 3G for data. If not, 2G for you. No 4G anywhere for this phone on T-Mo.

Yes, it is %100 possible. It's involved...to the extent that it might not be for those who aren't willing to turn their phone into a PDA.
In this post I explain (condescendingly, because some guy was so sure it wasn't possible) that phones nowadays are capable of multiband...because it's just not cost effective for manufacturers to produce one phone for CDMA, then one for GSM, one for LTE, one for AWS bands, etc etc...you get the picture. If you look up the specs of the chips in the S4 (probably the same across the carriers) you'll see that it's a pentaband phone.
Short story long...I come from a time where there wasn't a "It's not possible"...my job bought me a VZ S4 which I plan on using with my Tmobile simcard...because I don't feel like carrying a Nexus 4 AND an S4...I'll post my progress in the forums for all to benefit from. Until then...
I only tested it for a few minutes.... but I did get lte on it but not sure about aws... on T-Mobile. Sorry I couldn't do a more extensive experiment.

Yes it is possible. And it is actually not that much work.
#1 be rooted
#2 put in tmobile sim and restart phone (cant change apn with vzw sim)
#3 change the apn settings for voice and data to t mobile (google it)
I have been using a verizon i545 S4 on tmobile for 3 weeks now. I have voice text and 4g h+ data.
The S4 is global, even if verizon tries to lock it down.

how are you getting 4g? I'm only getting 2g ;-; i'v ebeen asking everywhere but everybody seems to think it cant be done i guess? I just get ignored by the usually helpful community.
I am also on hyperdrive, have you looked at their coverage map? And what apn are you using tmobile has 3. Standard phones, smart phones, and I believe one for hipsters aka apple? The proper apn starts with fast. (Its 645 in the morning google it yourself)
Another thing to consider, you might be getting 4g or h what ever, t mobile is half as fast as verizon. I had to use xposed framework to turn on the proper icons.
The steps I posted are all I did, other than being on hyperdrivre rom. Try setting to gsm as your preffered network?
Im sorry people have ignored this and claim its impossible, the tmobile guy in store actually got his manager to come use my phone after I got it working in front of him in store. The store manager told the employee I must be some super hacker and this isnt possible for normal people. All i did was imout the apn and the sim nothing crazy.

Hi guys,
I just got my C6806, and went to AT&T to activate it. But I'm only getting HSPA+, and no LTE speed. I'm using the apn setting that the phone automatically downloaded. Do I need to change the apn setting myself in order to get LTE? The phone is on 532 firmware.
Thanks.

You may need to edit your APN. I would take the settings from another ATT LTE phone and create a new APN or just edit yours if necessary. I should be getting mine tomorrow and if you can't get yours to work I will do mine and let you know what I did.
Later
this is what I've got for att. I have c6833, so it's not on lte, but you can try it anyways. got those settings off att website.

Sent from my C6833 using xda app-developers app
Hi eureka9, I don't think this has to do with the APN settings. I believe this is an issue with AT&T based on my research with my dad's Xperia ZL.
Based on what I have read, AT&T has a list of approved devices (or IMEI, not sure which) that can use the LTE network (basically the phones you can buy from AT&T). Because Sony's new devices (XZ, XZL, XZU, etc.) are not offered by AT&T, the best you can get is HSPA.
The way to get around this is to have your line associated with an approved LTE device (e.g.: SGS3) then just take the SIM and put it in your ZU. I came off of a Galaxy Note 2 but I didn't not call AT&T to "activate" or anything, just put the SIM in. My ZU connects with LTE (when there's reception of course but that's a whole other issue). I can do a screenshot and post if you want (just need to know how to do that, got my ZU just yesterday and loving it).
With my dad's Xperia ZL, he was coming off a Moto Atrix 2 which has no LTE capabilities. Calling AT&T and activating the Xperia ZL didn't help as he still only got HSPA. I did a test and put in my SIM from my Galaxy Note 2 (this was several months back BTW) and voila, LTE connection.
As mentioned, I did some digging when working with my dad's XZL and besides having a SIM already activated with a LTE phone, some AT&T stores may be nice enough to put a "dummy" IMEI from a LTE phone (like a demo unit or something). If you Google "AT&T Xperia ZL LTE" (or something like that), you should find some posts on other forums that talk about this method (but YMMV depending on the store). I haven't done this myself but I'm planning on switching to T-Mobile anyways.
Hope this helps.
Thank you very much for your replies!
I tried the APN on a HTC One with LTE working, but no luck.
I think it's probably as nOrbX187 said, AT&T didn't want me to have LTE speed if I'm not buying stuff from them.. Anyway I'll try putting my gf's HTC One's sim card in the Ultra and see if it works.
By the way, if I register the HTC One's imei with the sim card of my Ultra, will the HTC One still have LTE?
My understanding is that if the ph is international unlocked, then you will not get lte on att. So my question is whether the xperia z ultra sold by sony USA is international unlocked or non international unlocked?
Can someone enlighten me on this?
Thanks

Funk2641,
Thanks for your reply. I have another question.
Since unlocked's IMEI isn't in the ATT database, do I need to provide another IMEI number from another LTE ph in order to get LTE service for my c6806?
Can you explain your process of having it provisioned for LTE?
Thanks again
Hi antmay1,
I believe that is the case. All you really need is to have the IMEI of an AT&T LTE phone on the SIM card. Again, the key is that the IMEI needs to be an AT&T LTE PHONE.
Again, I just took the SIM which has been activated for my Galaxy Note 2 and put it in my ZU and I get LTE.
As mentioned in my post, some AT&T stores may be able to help you out but YMMV per store.
Hope this helps.

Thanks nOrbX187 for your prompt reply. I have an iphone 4s LTE capable that I am not using. But the iphone 4s uses a different sim card and I cannot just drop it into the z Ultra. I will have to bring both the iphone 4s and Z Ultra to the ATT store for them to activate my ultra with LTE service.
you sure? i went from 4s to z ultra and its the same sim size. the 4s is "4G", but lte didnt come until the 5. if you call 611 from an iphone, itll send you to a iphone call center. explain you have a factory unlocked phone and theyll usually just set you up with right plan since they are only really trained for iphone support. the tech i called even called sony and got the specs of the hardware to troubleshoot my network issues. lol

Another question for you. When you setup the new ultra using the previous iphone 4s account, did you manage to get LTE on the new ultra?
Thanks,

no LTE since I'm missing the 700 band. I got anxious and ordered the international version. att didn't have the phone in database so it defaulted me to a unlimited blackberry plan. they changed it to a generic unlimited plan instead. even as we speak, the phone icon I have is for a grayed out flip samsung when I'm managing my account online.
the plan they have me on is a LTE plan, but I'll probably never get to use it unless the USA changes bands all of a sudden. not planning on holding my breath for that one. I get 5mbps download on hspa+ so I'm happy. faster than most base home Internet services. lol

I chatted with att this afternoon, and have the imei of my gf's HTC One associated with my ZU. Both phones have lte now.
So the solution is to just get any ATT lte enabled phone, and register its imei with your ZU.
Do certain APNs need to be changed to allow the C8606 to enable the LTE?

Just leave the default APN settings for the ZU for AT&T.
Just find a LTE at&t phone. Put your Sim in and make sure you get LTE data service. If not call AT&T and have them change your plan to an LTE plan. Once that is done you can take the Sim out and use it on the ZU and you should be getting LTE service.
That's all I did with mine. Setup my ion, or 920 forget which one it was, initially and ever since any phone I use can utilize LTE (provided it supports it that is and is unlocked if not an at&t phone)

I got my 6806 and had the same problem. Luckily my corporate IT dept (it's a company number/SIM/data plan) was able to help me out.
They took an IMEI number from a GS4 that was overheating, and called AT&T to update my number and SIM with the IMEI from the GS4. Power down and back up again, and boom - LTE.

I put the nano sim in an adapter in the 6806, only had h+

Hi there
I hate to bring up an old thread but I recently picked up a VS985 and am currently using it on Ultra-Mobile (T-Mobile MNVO)
I didn't need your APN to get LTE (it picked up LTE right when I put the SIM in) but I'm having trouble getting my SMS messages to go through. Sometimes they go through properly but other times it will say failed to send (when it didn't do this previously on my S3).
is this something specific to the LG G3 or what? Do you seem to get this problem as well?
Thank you very much.
What is the purpose? I could see writing this if a VZW Sim worked in a T-Mobile phone. But why would someone with a Verizon phone want crappier T-Mobile service? More importantly, if you have a T-Mobile account, why in the world would you not have the T-Mobile g3?? Its the only model that has an unlocked boot loader. Maybe I'm missing something but this thread confused me.

I think it's because they don't want to get on a contract/are currently on a contract but want a new phone so they go to craigslist. I don't know about other areas but here in Houston T-Mobile G3s don't drop below 500 whereas I regularly see Sprint/VZW phones for 300.
In my case, I'm a Canadian working in Houston for the summer and I'm heading back home. The G3 (ANY variant) sells for around 600-700 on our version of craigslist (called Kijiji... it's an eBay thing) so I wanted to grab one from here. Got the best deal on a VZW and since it's factory unlocked for GSM use it didn't bother me. All I need is the Band 4 LTE. Reason I posted here is because I'm currently using Ultra Moible $19/mth while I'm here.
The purpose is that its our choice of service & phone. Verizon gets bad signal in my area

Some people need to use verizon as their personal cell provider but pop their tmo work/job sim in when they are at work all day.
There are a ton of reasons for this...
can you confirm that you can use the g3 make phone call, send sms, and get lte?

i am going to get one soon.. thanks.

thanks a lot.
On my T-Mobile $30 5gig prepaid SIM this afternoon I was getting 4gLTE data speeds of around 24gb down. I switched back to my Verizon unlimited LTE sim, fixed the settings back, waited a bit for things to settle, and got somewhat lower download speeds. Ping was higher too.

Just did it with a nano sim from an iPhone 5S. Added the APN, and now I'm rolling! Sadly VZW has better coverage in SF than t-mo. :|
My wife gets service just fine with her cricket sim, and while the data works at LTE speeds it only shows H in the status bar.
With my Cricket/AIO Smart prepaid sim in my VLG G3, and the right APN and other settings, I get 4gLTE if available, which is pretty often. It says its 4gLTE then. Since its cricket, the speed is always capped, but its pretty fast.

What app do you guys use to edit the APN.

We are testing a pretty neat build made specifically for these networks....any one interested or on those two networks interested in testing some more?
I've been running the lollipop build for a few weeks now and I have to say that it's ROCK solid! Beats is included, LTE data, solid battery life, all around awesome ROM!
Plus ATT dialer,updated camera,Full VVM working...
I have been trying to use my Verizon HTC One Max with Cricket for sometime, but the cell signal never goes over one bar. If you think this might help I'd be glad to try it out. I can't stand using this crappy windows phone I had to get through cricket x.x
In your [email protected] device,not much is going to help unfortunately.

Yoo was this for sprint .just asking
Cdma devices are different...I dont believe the ATT variant rom I did would work to well for you
I use my Verizon one max on at&t network with no problems They are cdma but the sim part can be used as gsm never had a problem out of it. A good freind of mine which is a developer tweeked my stock rom for better battery life and speed and deodexed. I must say it turned out pretty good. I alwasys thought about trying a different rom but can't get myself to do it.. lol I just wanted to put this out there that the verizon devices do work well with gsm at least on at&t....

I don't get LTE because the bands for lte are on the cdma bands but i do have 4g on gsm which is close enough. I used to have the sprint model which takes a little work to get sim unlock but the verizon model is better and fcc told verizon they couldn't sim lock their devices any truth behind this i don't know..
Yes I can confirm that The Verizon Htc one max variant T6VZW can get LTE and 4G on cricket network It mainly depends where you live, for example Here in Houston TX I get LTE most of the times, my device is rooted and S-off I have TWRP recovery installed I am running Cyanogen mod 12.1 lollypop and of course Xposed installed, yes I still toy around with nightlies (since there is not official CM13 yet and the unofficial version was not very satisfactory to be my daily driver, in addition to the Cyanogen ROM, I have LTE OnOff app installed that allows me to switch bands at will and I have never issues with connectivity you can find that app on aptoide or some other places I believe it was pulled and based out of the thunderbolt device (I know so long ago right) but It still works perfect. Any thing else you might want to know or share just please let us know, I know there is people that still interested in finding any kind of support for the Htc One max, for example it will be awesome to have MultiROM ported for all HTC one Max Variants right? cheers fellows!
