I joined Solavei and have Unlocked my AT&T HTC Inspire 4G.
I put in Solavei SIM and I Setup the Solavei APN as shown by Solavei.
The phone works, MMS and Data works when I have a signal, but when I lose my signal, the ATT Network Carrier seems to try and Take over?
I was told to delete all AT&T info, but I can't find a way to remove AT&T as a Network Carrier? I do not see AT&T when viewing my APN settings, only Solavei.
I have to restart my phone many times in a day to get Solavei to be recognized again.
Anyone else have this issue, or have a way for me to completely remove any AT&T involvement with this phone.
Bootloader unlock or SIM unlock?
Seems like all the help guides have been taken down, I need help doing a sim unlock too. I currently use Tmobile

So where i live we have another option for gsm networks called air fire mobile... I called at&t to get my unlock code after giving me my code they asked what my intentions were, i told them to switch networks. The rep then told me my inspire would not work on this other gsm network called airfire. I dont know if air fire is a national thing or what but in case not here is there web site. http://www.airfiremobile.com/
Well i went to airfire mobile and they said my phone would have to be unlocked so i had them put there sim card into my phone and nothing popped up for unrecognized sim card..... My g/f has a htc aria and she got the option to unlock sim she put the unlock code in she had received and it worked but her phone could not recognize air fire's network only there roaming service with is covered by at&t... is there something with HTC phones that will not allow us to use this network, or are there any steps we need to do once the new sim cards are in the phones like settings and apns numbers or anything? Please help looking to escape my raping by at&t each month lol
You should have no issues with ATT phones working on AirFire. Looks like they use the same bands as ATT. And maybe she was showing as roaming because she was actually roaming. There is only local coverage in wisconsin. This page shows everything you need to know except nowhere on the site does it say they offer 3G. I am guessing it is edge only.
http://www.airfiremobile.com/Support
thank you for you help, when i asked the lady if they offer 3g her response was we offer 2.5g lol im guessing that would be edge?? Also when i go Menu>settings>wireless and networks>mobile networks>Network operators: the only thing that comes up is at&t. This is with my at&t sim card in, but shouldnt it show airfire also? or does my phone need to be unlocked before it will show airfire?? so confusing lol
Is your phone sim unlocked? You said you got the code from ATT but never said if you were able to enter it sucessfully. Is your phone rooted? If yes then during the rooting process it will become sim unlocked. So if you phone happens to be sim unlocked then select "network operators" and do a search for your new network. And YES you have to have an AirMobile sim or all you will see is ATT with an ATT sim card.
Just in case you don't understand, you unlock the phone to use any simcard. You are not unlocking the sim card to use any carrier.
As far as data it is an ATT phone. It does not have the APN for AirFire Mobile. You will have to enter that yourself as a new APN.
yes my phone is rooted, i never knew that by rooting it unlocks the phone, maybe that would explain why when i put the airfire sim in the box never came up asking for the unlock code?
But even still when the g/f had the airfire sim in her aria and she unlocked her phone it showed airfire network but it was roaming.. and didn't show there home network, the rep at the store said it could be something within the hardware from htc??? and at&t told me my inspire wouldn't work on airfire because my phone was 4g phone.. which i dont see why a 4g phone cant come down to Edge network if thats what airfire is
Any ATT phone will be able to make calls and connect to data on AirFire's 2.5G system if thats what they call it.
Let's just say that the rep at the store should be selling shoes.

Your right the guy is stupid. First the inspire can't connect to att 4g network that is not even 4g. As long as they are GSM based you are at least gonna get edge. I don't even want him selling me shoes lol
Did you have to unlock the phone to do that?
I called AT&T and they said that they don't have the unlock code since they don't even sell the device, but that it works on sims outside the US. She seemed to imply that it won't work on tmobile but that if I go outside the US, and just put a sim in, it will work without me having to unlock the phone in anyway.
Can anyone verify this?
Thanks

Most customer service representatives are pure idiots .... Nexus S is a Google phone , so it's factory unlocked to any SIM card you use with it(you may or may not get 3G on other networks depending on the other network 3G frequencies , and if the forgein network has 3G on 900/1900MHz it will have 3G on this Nexus S)..
Hope this helps..
Well I went to tmobile and the guy put in a sim into the phone and the phone got no reception nor did it seem to recognize the sim at all.
So it seems that it isn't unlocked.
I tried putting in this code: *#7465625#
Its supposed to tell you if the phone is unlocked or not, but nothing happens, it just says: Connection problem or invalid MMI code.
I don't need it to work on tmobile, but I do need it to work on foreign simcards. And I saw on other forums that for some people it worked on tmobile and others it didn't so there doesn't seem to be any clear answers.

you have another issue here , check your phone
Thanks for the response.
What do you mean by other issue and how should I be checking my phone?
In any case, I put in a simcard that my brother gave me which I believe is from Mozambique on a carrier Vodacom. It asked for the code of the sim when I put the phone is as always, and so I got in putting in 0000.
It then showed no connection to anything whatsoever, also as always.
Keep in mind I did have wifi on.
Then all of a sudden it asked me to update my phone and install something. So I just said yes and it updated and rebooted.
All of a sudden I have bars here and there and it recognizes that tmobile and AT&T are in the area. I also saw I think at the top of the notification bar when I pull down the notifications tab, it said Vodacom. Of course I get no reception whatsoever but that is expected, this sim was a gophone sim in Mozambique.
Does this mean that its unlocked if it is recognizing another sim, even though no confirmation of reception? I plan to try again with tmobile now and perhaps make sure I have wifi connection while doing so and leave it in for longer.
Thanks and please let me know if you have any thoughts.
what ROM you're on now?stock or costum one ? you also might consider a FULL phone wipe.because this might be caused by a difference between at&t apn or other Sim data and the other .check for that
I'm on stock 2.3 that the phone came with. Haven't messed with it at all.
So I assume you saying that if I want to switch to another sim, I should do full phone wipe then? so that the at&t apn doesn't confuse it?
IF it doesn't work with tmobile again, I will try taht, and I will also try to learn what an apn is.
Thanks for the help.
Might work or might not !!! backup all your data and apps first then use the shotgun method lol
But what I am sure of is that Nexus S phones are always unlocked and SIM free..
Purchased an HTC M8 from a friend that seems like was flashed to T-mobile. I tried everything and various roms (revolution, viper, bonestock) and the stock vzw RUU to get the phone back to verizon. The APN file is still showing all t-mobile files in it.
Also if I go into settings>Network preference: It shows all european networks ie: vodafone UK ,Claro dom,JP DOCOMO, all GSM/UMTS.
I called verizon to verify the IMEI and sim and they both checked out to be verizon, so I know its a verizon phone. Has the VZW logo on the back also.
I cannot make calls or get any internet connection with it. Tried changing all of the network settings, replaced the sim card and so far no go. Can anyone point me in the right direction for some help.I have searching and tried various procedures for the past 2 days without any luck.
Strange thing is the 4G icon is there and when i try to connect to the internet the bars below it become active but I always get the same message: Cannot connect to the internet.
The phone is rooted, TWRP, S-off and CID 11111111 also.
Thanks for any help !

Check your IMEI number, settings>about>status http://swappa.com/esn use this site to see if its bad or not. If it is, the phone was probably reported stolen or the person who bought it didn't pay the monthly amount for the phone, so Verizon would have blacklisted it
I called verizon and first verified that is was indeed a verizon phone which it is and it is ok to be activated. I took it to the store an they tried a new sim card but it did not work. No phone calls or data
No matter what RUU or rom i tried flashing when I check the apns-conf.xml file in System>etc it always ends up having T-mobile settings in there.
I have it rooted, S-off, SuperCID11111111, and nothing has worked so far. Very frustrated as I have been working on it going on 3 days. But not all is lost. I have have learned a lot trying to get it fixed. I just might end up sending it in to HTCand have them fix it. Sure would suck to have a $400 paper weight
Thanks for the reply..
At boot time, Android determines the correct network configuration based on the MCC and MNC from the SIM card and automatically configure all network settings.
I have a verizon HTC One M8 (had my imei verified at a verizon store and esn was clean) with a new sim card and yet all of the files in my system>etc>apns-config.xml file are showing T-mobile.
Also in settings>Network Preference>all of the carriers are coming up vodafone, CLARO DOM, JP DOCOMO Swisscom and they are all GSM/UMTS.
Does anyone know why its not loading the proper files from my sims MCC and MNC ? This has been driving me crazy for the past 3 days trying to figure this out.
I flashed stock RUU and am s-off, unlocked, Super CID 11111111. Have no idea what is causing this.Any help or pointing me in the right direction would be GREATLY appreciated.
Well, Sent it in for repair. Told the Customer rep the phone was roooted, Rom'ed, CID'ed and that I never got to activate it.
So just waiting to see what happens and will post when I find out the verdict.
BTW, they could tell when I gave them the IMEI the day that the phone was rooted. Is that possible ? Sure came as a surprise to me. Gave the lady the IMEI # and after about 1 minute she came back on and told me the phone was rooted on May 1st. I have no idea if that is true because I have only had the phone for 1 week now.
Hey Folks,
I have a Nexus 5, which I bought from the Play store and have been using on Sprint for the past year. I'm switching carriers to AT&T and would like to know if my device will work on their network. I went to an AT&T store and tried swapping out my SIM for one of theres but the "AT&T" logo didn't show up on my phone and I wasn't able to use voice/text/data. Then, when I tried swapping my sprint SIM back in I had a ton of trouble, in the end, the sprint store had to factory reset my phone to get it to work again. I guess my question is, are there any specific settings that need to be changed or a specific manner in which i switch the SIM cards to get it to work on AT&T? A Sprint rep told me it work on AT&T but that can't be right, the phone is unlocked after all. Any and all input is welcomed!
A lot of people here use ATT me included. You'll have to change your APN to ATT. You also will have to give them your phones IMEI. After that you'll be all set.

I used to switch sims between ting(sprint MVNO) and ATT since I work in areas sometimes that does not have att service, and I never had a problem going between the two. Did you try to reset the radio on the phone?

Hey guys,
I looked for APN settings on my phone and googled it but I couldn't find those options. I tried updating the profile before, updating the PRL, restarting it multiple times and turning the radio on and off. Also tried switching the network type between Global and LTE options multiple times, which only worked < 1% of the time. Finally, I went to the sprint store where they did a factory reset and now it only works on 3G (no LTE). This is a family plan where we're switching to ATT permanently. My sister is sending me some sort of "customized" SIM card for my phone (they took all of my phones info) that should work on ATT. When I go into ATT again to test out my phone, are there any specific settings I need to change or a certain manner in which I switch the SIM cards to test my phone if it works? I wanna test it with a random ATT sim first and not my "customized" SIM card because our ATT line isn't activated as yet, only sprint is.
Is anyone using the T-Mobile Note 5 on AT&T? I am having data problems where I do not get data, but can send and receive texts, and also make calls. I switch to the Cingular APN and it works, but then goes out.
I have tried the Nxtgen phone apn and also phone apn, and no luck.
I know im not answering your question, but are you able to use the VOLTE feature on your tmobile phone on the at&t network? or even HD calling?
Actually At&t messed up my provisioning. You asked about those features, I would recommend you download Darthstalkers Rom Version 4, choose n9200A, it will install the at&t carrier files.
Just make sure to add the ATT Phone APN, do not use the nextgen phone apn.
Why do you suggest not using NextGen APN. I use it on all my phones and it's perfect your funny
I have been thinking of paying off my unrooted phone and switching to cricket. When I put my IME number to check compatibility it said it wasn't. So, I'm a bit confused. Is this phone compatible with ATT LTE or not. I thought that ATT and Cricket were the same?
