Can anyone confirm Simultaneous voice and data capability on the E3D? Is it on 4G only or both 3G & 4G?
there won
t ever be simultaneous voice and data on 3G - sprint is a CDMA network. Not GSM. It will work on 4G because 4G uses a diff radio.
Actually simultaneous voice and data over 3G on CDMA is possible, see verizon thunderbolt for an example. Having said that however, I doubt the same holds true for the E3D.

I believe it takes carrier side upgrades as well as hardware phone upgrades. It called SV-DO.
The chip is capable of dual-mode, but I don't think Sprint's network is currently setup for it.
I recently just purchased a tablet from verizon with a data plan. I am wondering if I can take the 4G LTE sim card from my tablet and put it into a verizon Galaxy S4 that has a bad esn. If it works I know that it would only receive LTE and not 3G or voice which is fine because I use google voice and make calls via Voip.
From everything I have researched I think it should work but I am looking for someone that has put a Verizon LTE sim into a verizon phone with a bad esn to verify that it does or does not work.
Thanks in advance!
In the G4 forum, we realized that Verizon has put some sort of firmware on the device that disables 4G LTE in GSM mode using a T-Mobile (or AT&T for that matter) SIM card, even though the phone does support the bands. When the phone is switched to CDMA mode, then 4G LTE works fine, but unfortunately voice doesn't work at the same time. See this thread here for more details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g4/help/lg-g4-vs986-t-mobile-lte-problem-t3195888
Can anybody try out the same with the V10 and report back? Would be intersting to know if Verizon now intentionally started crippling these devices (since it used to work fine on the G3), or this is some sort of bug that only applies to the G4 right now. Thanks!!
I use a VZW branded V10 with my tmo sim and can only get H or H+. Rarely does it get 4gLTE. And when it does sms does not work.
Thanks... but you do get 4G LTE sometimes when in GSM mode?!?
Can you change the system mode in the mobile settings to CDMA and check if it gets 4G LTE with the T-Mobile SIM card? And then in the same place switch it back to GSM and see if it falls back to H+ only? That's the behavior we saw on the G4, like Verizon is intentionally blocking LTE om GSM, even though the phone supports the band.

I am not sure if it is the same with Tmobile, but when trying to use a Tmobile variant on AT&T, LTE does not work either. It seems that you have to get the device provisioned by the carrier for LTE using it's IMEI, not just doing a SIM swap.

Yeah if i switch to CDMA, i get 4G LTE very often though i cannot send message or call
Can anyone tell me if u get the annoying unauthorized sim card message... if so can we stop it from appearing. Had that issue with my verizon htc m8.
I tried at a T-Mobile store earlier to see if one of their Sim cards would work in my VZW V10 and I had the same issues.
The pop up saying "not a Verizon Sim" or whatever came up after a few minutes of dismissing it as well.
When it first loaded up, I changed the APN to match the in-store display V10 with its exact settings. I changed the network mode from global to LTE/GSM and after a minute it showed it was connected with 4G LTE, but it went away after a few seconds. I couldn't get it to come back, and it only had like 2-3 bars, and H for data. I know it wasn't from lack of signal because the display V10 had full bars with LTE.
I also tried sending a text using the T-Mobile SIM to one of my other numbers, but it didn't go through at all. Didn't try placing a call, but regardless it didn't seem like it would be worth it to switch.
No 4g LTE
Still waiting for a fix,can get no 4g LTE on t mobile,I'm on marsmallow so I lost root access
I'm Canadian, I just bought an unlocked Verizon V10 on ebay and I'm planning to use it on a Canadian carrier. Does this mean I should expect to have no LTE data at all on this phone in Canada? Poops I never would have bought it if that was the case.
Let me know, I may try a return without opening the package.
how different is the speed between HSPA+ and LTE? is it noticeable
does it bother you that its not LTE?
I bought a phone from a seller on swappa. when he listed it. the phone had a clean ESN.
took it to the verizon store to setup verizon prepaid and it was flagged a non pay account
cannot activate.
I am using my ATT sim card right now
I can return it but on the secondary market is many LGV10 phones are going to be flagged for non payment when the accounts go into collections, it then buyers could get screwed.
I might just stick with the phone. But i can never use it on verizon. I have to wait for a Root on marshmallow, and fix after that if I want LTE speeds on ATT or TMO
I got LTE working. In happy with it. I think the US phones work in Canada even with a bad imei.
Another area on a long long laundry list where canada is better than the usa. hockey and standardized healthcare being 1 and 2... hahaha
I was having the same issue on my Verizon v10 vs990 on my T-Mobile network. I went into the APN settings and set it to LTE/CDMA and it works perfectly. Calls, SMS and data.
I have an AT&T LG G5 unlocked and with a verizon sim card.
I checked the specs and it does say it has the correct bands.
Why with the correct APN will I only get 4GLTE Data, but cannot make or receive calls or texts?
When i try to place a call it just comes up and says "Mobile network is unavailable" even though i have service bars. Then when I hit ok I can see in the dialer app it says "Out of Service Area".
I've tried everything. Thanks in advance.
Because AT&T is a GSM network and Verizon is CDMA

To better explain it. Both companies use similar LTE bands for data but Verizon (and Sprint) still use CDMA for voice service while T-Mobile and AT&T use LTE or GSM for voice (depending on what area you're in). Sprint and T-Mobile use slightly different LTE bands than AT&T and Verizon. I could be wrong but that is at least how it has been in the past.
Yeah i understand about verizon being CDMA. And that makes complete sense. Thanks!
I purchased a Note 8 from T-Mobile in September. I was told by T-Mobile that if I didn't like the service, I could take my phone and go back to Verizon. Unfortunately, the coverage in my rural area is too spotty. I went to Verizon and they said my Note 8 is not compatible with their network. They said I can connect to the 4G network but I can't connect to the 2G and 3G networks where I can make calls and send texts. I was told I can flash the phone so it will work on Verizon. Is this true and if so, how do I do it?
Thank you so much in advance,
Mike
