Hi guys, so my mom has her gs3 on verizon and she bought a sim card for tmobile. We activated it and we get Edge data speed but nothing more. We live in a LTE area with great service but we just have edge. how do i get her data to LTE or HSPA+? Also when entering *#*#4696#*#* i dont get the option to change the LTE/CDMA radio like i use to
The vzw gs3 is not compatible with T-Mobile. Be glad you get edge
Different radios in the devices.

+1. Edge is all you can get with any non Verizon US carrier.

Sell or trade the phone and get a tmobile one. Other than that there is no way your getting tmobile data to work.
That isn't entirely true. I got 2G (edge) working on a Galaxy S3 from Verizon that has been switched to T-Mobile. Just trying to find a way to get it to pickup 3G/4G now.
You need a stock rooted or touch whiz Rom!

So I recently made my Samsung Galaxy s3 SCH I535 (originally a Verizon carrier) into gsm mode which now I have my AT&T SIM card in it.
Everything is working fine but the data. Rather then being on 4G LTE which is what I am paying for.
Is working on edge speeds. Can someone help me fix this?

Well, the Verizon version only works with Verizon's LTE. If you want at&t LTE to work, you need an at&t phone.

On the hardware side, Verizon phones only support Verizon LTE. So like the above post said, you'd need an AT&T phone to get AT&T LTE

Bought a Verizon S6 to use on AT&T.
I setup AT&T's APN settings on the S6 and I have accessed H+ but not 4G LTE.
Can anyone offer any insight?
Most Verizon phones do not get att lte. However I do know the Verizon Droid Turbo, 2nd Gen. Moto CA and Vzw iphone 5s and up gets Att LTE.. .
AT&T SIM on VZW S6
Hello,
I have the same question how AT&T SIM would behave on VZW S6.
1. Which APN Are you using? Are you using phone or pta APN?
2. When receiving incoming calls, does the format look like example: +8085551212 missing 1?
your response is appreciated!!!

I got 4g lte .. I used both settings and when I make calls out it drops to 1x and then when receive calls I have 3G. Seems like the pta settings works better didn't see and h or h+ which. Did on the phone apn settings. I have a Vzw iPhone since I work there thought the s6 would be easy since know the turbo works. There's something missing and can't find it. Everything works I do get the +then the number tho. But haven't had issues sending or receiving texts. Just it should drop to 4g when on the phone and should work whether I get or receive calls. Minor issues happening I did switch it to gsm instead of world that may have been why h or h+ didn't occur with pta. I'll update what I figure out if you all do so as well
i remember seeing it somewhere, but can't find it when i need it, how do i permanently disable the non-verizon sim warning when using any other sim in the vzw gs6?
(i have succeeded on a one time basis by force stopping activation agent, but there's a permanent fix if i'm not mistaken)
Verizon variant doesn't support AT&T's original LTE layer which is Band 17. So you won't see LTE on your Verizon variant unless AT&T has either Band 2 or Band 4 deployed in your market.
At&t LTE worked just fine on Verizon S5. So why not S6?

It is a hardware limitation

I think Band 17 is the issue. Most of AT&T LTE is on Band 17.
I am currently connected to LTE (Band 4) on my Verizon G6, using a AT&T sim.
I used the LTE Discovery app to get this info.

I have a straight talk S3 (Verizon based) and a cricket sim card. How do I make the cricket sim work in the phone?

You need a CDMA SIM from any CDMA carrier and it will work as soon as you put it in, then you set your APNs to Tracfone APNs.
If your Cricket SIM is a GSM SIM then it won't work, it MUST be a CDMA SIM.
Verizon CDMA LTE SIMs are only $3-5 on eBay. I'm sure you can afford the price and the wait while it is mailed to you.

I used a friend's Verizon Galaxy SIII at one point... kind of... it took a while to detect the network each time the phone started up and it was only EDGE/2G
So, it works for phone calls and very slow data... might be okay if you're usually on wifi, but it's really better to just have a phone that is compatible with Cricket's HSPA+ 3G and 4G LTE network(s).

They are asking about the SIM because they have a straight talk s3 and that device has to use Verizon S3 ROMs and that makes the Straight Talk S3 require a SIM to have working mobile data, it won't work without the SIM. They weren't asking if they can use a Straight Talk S3 on Cricket network.
