Hello guys,
From my previous experiments, these multi radio GSM phones just don't work as good as their GSM only variants. What is the situation for photon about this ?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Received a unit yesterday, I had ordered via eBay. Works perfectly on both 3G and HSDPA. No problems with either voice or data.
Since I haven't been able to activate the phone via Sprint:
1. It tries to connect to Sprint each time I boot it. I need to then make changes to network settings so that it can log on to the local GSM networks.
2. Each time I send a text message, it reminds me I might incur international roaming charges.
Rest is super.

I could not find an answer using search, so my apologies if this was previously answered.
I just purchased an unlocked SGSII (International version) and wondering if anyone had success getting it working with AT&T? I tried using a SIM from my Galaxy S/Captivate phone and changed the bands to 850/1900 in ServiceMode to no avail.
Can someone post working settings for phone and data use? Also, do I need to call AT&T to "activate" my new phone?
You must have done some pretty ****ty searches. I typed in Galaxy S II AT&T APN and this is what I got:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1109983
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1175006
I added the APN like the posts you referenced, but the S2 still says GPRS and mobile network state 'Connecting'. My captivate just uses the SIM APN settings and gets UMTS/HSDPA.
Mobile network settings:
Use packet data - Enabled
Network mode - GSM/WCDMA (Auto)

Sorry I should have been more descriptive in my original post. Baseband version is XXKH3 and I tried Cognition ROM to see if a different ROM/modem would help. Someone lead me to the Service Mode menu (*#*#197328640#*#*) to try changing Debug>Phone Control>Network Control>Band Selection from Automatic to just the AT&T frequencies, but that does not change the status.
Please excuse the noobness. Any ideas? Thanks!
Just an update.. it seems that the "International" version I'm using is the Korean/Olleh branded model (SHW-M250K). A couple of threads mentioned that it only works single (900) or dual band (900/2100) UMTS, which would explain why it is only connecting via GPRS.

Is there anyway I can enable or unlock those frequencies? Otherwise, I'll have to return the phone since it does not work on AT&T 3G.

I found out the problem.
Internet seems to be down slow in my area due to some tmobile maintenance.
I just drove away from where I live and did a speed test at bandwidthplace.com
I got nearly 30mbps with Lte and almost 10 Mbps with 3G.
Is there a way to get text messaging working with Lte?

You know that T-Mobile USA does not currently have LTE right?
yes, I know that but I get higher speeds if the connection is set to LTE.

Ok, here is my problem now:
after 1308 update, Internet sharing worked great on my Rogers unlocked 920 running T-mob
But, MMS stoped working. At that point i reactivated T-mobile access point , and MMS started working again .... but, i have no internet sharing again ((
It's always taking me to T-mob web site and pay for service, which i already have
Now .....
i did try "Spanish keyboard trick" and after that, tethering (internet sharing) worked.
But, no MMS again. It looks like settings used in "Spanish mode" use different values for Access point settings.
If i could manually add access point with MMS settings and internet settings, that would be great.
Ill try call T-mob and ask for it, but it's small chance, ill get it ;(
Anybody can help in here ?

ok, two things you have to know:
1, you will have to change your speed connection to 3G (sometimes dont work with LTE)
2, Delete all access points, restart your phone.
then, manually set this:

With the New update from Verizon I545VRUEMJ7 which upgrades the android version to 4.3 also activates the LTE band 4 on the SCH-I545.
After the phone is updated all you have to do is put in the activated T-Mobile Sim card and the Add the correct LTE APN settings... as follows quoted from t-mobile
APN & data settings
To set the Access Point Name (APN) and turn on data settings, follow these steps:
APN Settings
From any Home screen, tap the Menu key.
Tap Settings.
Tap the Connections tab.
Under Network connections, tap More networks.
Tap Mobile networks.
Tap Access Point Names.
To reset your APN, tap the Menu key and then tap Reset to default.
If available, tap the T-Mobile US LTE APN (the bullet point fills with green).
To verify your APN, tap T-Mobile US LTE with the bullet point filled with green.
Verify and update the following settings for the Data APN:
Name: T-Mobile US LTE
APN: found on t-mobile site
Proxy: <Not set>
You can also set: 216.155.165.050

APN type: <Not set> OR Internet+MMS
APN protocol: IPv4/IPv6
APN roaming protocol: IPv4
Enable/disable APN: <greyed out unless there are multiple APN's>
Bearer: Unspecified
Tap the Menu key.
Tap Save.
Tap the desired APN profile you want to use. The bullet point fills with green next to the APN profile.
If that is the case, I would rather want to know if unlocked T-Mobile's LTE phone will work on Verizon network with an activated SIM. At least in the area where Verizon has band 4 LTE available like NYC. I hope it does so we can use the T-Mobile phones and forget about Verizon's bootloader crap.

Not sure if this is any clue on the SMS outgoing issue. I used catlog to test outgoing sms when on 4G LTE and when on H+/E.
4G LTE (doesn't work):
11-04 21:25:30.712 D/Mms/SmsSingleRecipientSender(2081): createMessages 5) CDMA phone number destination
H+/E (works):
11-04 21:15:12.734 D/Mms/SmsSingleRecipientSender(2081): createMessages 7) GSM phone number destination
seems like switching to
to gsm let it acquire signal then switch to global works.

i tried that but it still fails to send. you were able to get it to work on t-mobile 4g lte?
the sms send fails instantly right when i press the send button. it doesn't seem like it try to think before it fails
It will send if you disable LTE. It seems that LTE on T-Mobile handles data only, while calls and SMS are on the GSM network. You'll need to have hidden menu's enabled or use the phone info app to disable LTE, depending on the ROM you're running. I've also noticed that When in LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL), LTE switches off when you place a call. I'm not very familiar with how a normal T-Mobile LTE phone behaves when calls are placed, so I'm sure if this should be expected.
I believe that I'm able to get AWS 3G in the Albany/Schenectady NY area, as well as LTE. I just wish that T worked in the rural areas like where I live to the north of Schenectady. I'm on an AOKP rom so it's a ***** to even get the operator name to show right, and no band information.
I have tmobile when inserted the simcard in my z2 I've noticed that I'm not getting any internet connection so i went to Setting/wireless and networks/internet setting and downloaded all the files then I went to mobile netword and changed it to 4G Tmobile, starting that day I keep losing connection every time I have to go to mobile network and change it manually although it's set on automatic, most of teh times 4g doesn't work and I have to set it to 3g... it's really annoying
In your dial pad type in *#*#info#*#* (numbers for info)
Go to phone info
Scroll down
Select prefered network mode
Select LTE or an option for local with
Go back to your network settings and see if 4G shows up
If not change your mode back to what it was before and call tmobile because they may have to sort some issues out for you

go to your network settings, when tmobile USA shows up with 4G click it to register, once thats done, go back a menu and click on network mode and change it to LTE/HSPDA/GSM (or what ever bands are used in USA)
you should have data connection but 4G depends on how good Tmobile USA Coverage is
You may need to call TMo and ask them to do whatever they do in the backend to reset the phone to network connection. Another thing is to look at TMo support site for the correct APN settings. In my case, data was perfect but MMS would not work because the phone settings were incorrect. Basically, call TMo. They will even email you the settings.
One last thing. Try airplane mode off then on and see it that helps.

One thing I would do, is to call T-Mobile and register the IMEI so they can provision the unit. The settings on their end may have something which is preventing it to connect to it based on a previous phone's capabilities.
-----------------
I had something similar similar but it was with AT&T. In my case, it would not connect to LTE at all as it would stick on HPSA. This was because I had a S3 (UK version), which was only capable of HSPA+, and I had registered the IMEI with them prior.
I had a lot of problems getting my Z2 to work on T-Mobile as well. I finally used the following settings to get everything to work.
Create 2 APNs, the first should have the Following Settings:
Name: T-Mobile
APN: fast.t-mobile.com
Proxy: 216.155.165.050
Port: 8080
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/
MMS proxy: 216.155.165.50
MMS port: 8080
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
APN Type: defaul,supl,admin,dun,mms
APN Protocol: IPv4
APN Roaming Protocol: IPv4
Now create a second APN with the following settings:
Name: T-Mobile GPRS
APN: epc.tmobile.com
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
APN Protocol: IPv4
APN Roaming Protocol: IPv4
With both of those created, go to your list of APNs and make sure your first one (T-Mobile) is selected.
These settings fixed my problems, hope you get it worked out.

I had a similar issue, is that why my phone doesn't have signal with tmobile cause I have to register the IMEI?

It is likely, make sure the internet/mms settings are downloaded too.
Once the IMEI is registered, they will able to see what phone it is and enable the proper features which the phone is capable of.
I heard it's best to let them know as the IMEI as well because they could flag the unauthorized phones and reject it from being connected the carrier.
Hello
I bought a verizon lg g3 from amazon since i heard that verizon phones comes factory unlocked for verizon.
I tried everything from changing the network setting to gms , global but it doesnt connect to tmobile signal. But after a network search it does detect tmobile , att verizon singnals.
I have not activated the phone using a verizon simcard.

Well I'm all honesty, I think you should have just bought the tmobile version because that is the one that comes unlocked. As for your signal problem, have you tried asking tmobile on how to do it? Or maybe you can look up YouTube videos on how to do so

I heard that verizon g3 does work on tmobile and it works for everyone. AM not sure if i missed out on some steps.
It works. If it doesn't work the only thing I would say is to check if the imei is clean and not reported blacklisted.
If that's good, then toggle the gsm setting from utms/gsm/lte to global and see of that helps
