I'm using an unlocked Verizon S4 on AT&T everything seems to work but mms, already called AT&T and added the correct IMEI to my number, still will not work... only small mms will send/receive.
Thanks.
Update
Installing GoldFinger worked perfectly
The phone is CDMA, AT&T uses GSM. Different bands and all that. I would think that's the problem.

Check your APN to see if it is correct for ATT, do a google search for ATT APN and you should be able to find it. If not I can post up some screenshots for you.
If the APN is correct then it "may" be that the Verizon phone cannot receive due to wrong frequency bands?

Hi,
I was thinking about purchasing a verizon Note3 however I read the APN for the data setting was locked out just like the Note 2 was. I am just curious is this true? Was it ever unlocked on the Note 2?

here ya go

Unfortunately, we'll still need root to do this if it is locked out by default on the N3

You cannot change the APN setting with the Verizon SIM in the phone, the menu items are grayed out. However, if you put in a non-Verizon SIM the APN menu becomes accessible and you are able to add a different APN for the network of the new SIM provider.

can anybody please verify this?
also, if you put in another network's SIMCARD in the NOTE3, will you be able to do calls, txt/MMS? or only DATA?
will be traveling international this DEC and would like to be able to put in a local SIMCARD and use it instead of having to pay VERIZON extra for roaming charges..
any help would be greatly appreciated!
TIA

I am writing this with my Verizon note 3 from Ireland using a sim from the "3" network (three.ie). It works for voice, data (3g, no lte), and texts. My phone is rooted, but I don't think that was needed. So, it does work.
There is a little icon stating "non-Verizon sim", but everything works fine.

I own a Verizon Note 3 and currently I have T-mobile SIM inserted and Voice / DATA (H+ no LTE) are working great.
delete vzw apn?
I have a vzw note 3 I just switched to at&t and after much digging was able to find the proper apn for at&t. What I cant figure out is how to delete the old Verizon apn as it's grayed out. Does anyone know how to access this to edit or delete?
Is it bothering you that much?? Not sure who you could delete it but why is it a bother ??

Send me a PM. With what APN setting you're using I just switched to T-Mobile and got these. I'm on mj7 with mk2 radios and have LTE working unless I make a phone call then it goes to HSDPA+

I just successfully flashed the modem/rom/etc on my new S4 for ATT. I have service with H+ on ATT but I am unable to get LTE, GPS, or MMS messages. Does anyone know if there is a way to get these functions working yet on this phone?
4.4.2 Firmware.
Sounds like the apns are messed up. Maybe search for what they should be and verify against what is set on your device.

I have verified the APN is correct per another ATT S4 stock and my old S3 LTE APN, still no LTE. let me remind you that this is a n unlocked SPRINT phone with GSM enabled as primary connection..

Make sure the network mode is set to LTE/WCDMA/GSM or something with LTE if you have other options. Also, i'm not entirely sure the Sprint model has the same LTE bands enabled.
Hello all, i have a question regarding an Australian Telstra Galaxy S5 with att service. the phone works with voice and text but has no data or mms. i have added an apn from my sim card in a galaxy nexus that gets me edge service. i have found band selection in the service menu but non seem to make it any better. I'm sure LTE won't work but thats ok. as long as i can get 3g at least. do i need to flash say the att s5 modems? if so how? i have the modem file and another already extracted from the att firmware. thanks in advance.
Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900i branded telstra
i think firmware ANE1 4.4.2

Using a foreign handset on a system will never give you perfect coverage. That is by design, as both Samsung and carriers want to lock you in, not make it easy for you to change carriers. Or do so without buying a new phone.
The specs for your variant suggest that it has full coverage on ATT's 3G bands and partial coverage of their LTE allocations. You don't need an ATT modem, just make sure that your firmware is recent - which it will be by definition, as the S5 was only released a few months ago.
Unfortunately you didn't provide much detail, in particular whether you were roaming or a regular ATT customer. Things that you might check in general, that your phone doesn't blacklist any ATT MCCs (roaming restrictions). That you have the correct APN information and that your ATT SIM is properly provisioned for LTE.

Thanks for the reply. I figured it out. In service menu, I was picking compatible gsm bands. Back to network screen in settings, had it on gsm/lte only. That was giving me edge. Read more into wcdma and used network mode wcdma/gsm. That gives me H or H+. I know I won't get lte but with that network mode and another apn, I'm satisfied with the end results.
It sounds like you inadvertently blocked coverage with your previous settings. The default setting is automatic band select which should have worked fine.
Glad you figured it out in the end.

Yeah. It was the apn that was hurting me. Default it used the wap.cingular apn. I put my sim in a galaxy nexus and used the apn that gave me. Plus changing network mode. Thanks though!
Is it possible to convert galaxy s4 I337 (att) to I337M(Bell). I used to live in US and recently moved to Canada and got Bell Mobility as my carrier. My phone is unlocked. At&t gave me unlock code, tried it and worked fine in T-mobile and other GSM carriers in India.
Now after switching I can receive calls, internet is working fine. But for some reason I can't make calls. If I dial a Canadian number it goes to some random number in USA, even though I put in correct Canadian area code.
Is Bell using different bandwidth than at&t that is causing this issue? I am wondering the possible solution would be to flash Baseband and Bootloader, to ensure it uses correct bandwidths. I want to be sure whether this is even possible.
Appreciate any suggestions.
It's not possible to flash i337m stock images on the i337. But have you checked your apn to make sure it's correct for bell?
