Doin' Double Duty...

Okay Weird One Maybe?
I have been issued a CDMA Verizon branded TP2 from my employer, and currently have my personal cell through AT&T.
I have enough stuff already to keep up with and have no desire to carry two phones, I also work for a local governmentalish agency, and I have less of a desire for anyone to see my SMS or MMS contents or recipients.
I've had success in unlocking, and more or less converting to the best of the phones ability and inserted my GSM SIM to the device, and am successfully using the functions of the AT&T system using Mighty ROM. In doing this, I am also giving up a full data plan on the Verizon CDMA setup.
Any suggestions? Is there a way to point internet, and internet only to the CDMA side while still receiving calls and sending MMS/SMS via my personal GSM? Encrypt SMS/MMS and go with just the Verizon?
John

You can't use CDMA and GSM at the same time. It is one or the other.

Is there anyway to establish encryption for SMS/MMS or possibly a program that easily switches profiles between CDMA and GSM, I am also taking creative suggestions to resolving the issue, so if you can think of one, I am up for trying it...

GSM and CDMA sms will load on the same text message screens. I know of no way to separate the two.

Anyone out there actually understand what I am saying and have any experience in this area?

aabbccdd888 covered it for you.
It is essentially two phones in one. You can have one line or the other active, but not both.
Whichever line is active is the one through which phone calls and data will come through. The inactive line will dump everything to VM while inactive.
You can switch between the two at any time, though I don't know of an app offhand to do it. Someone's likely written one, but if not it shouldn't be too hard to whip up.
Easiest thing for you to do would be have the CDMA turned on from 9-5 with your "work" line, then swap to GSM (and shut off the work line) when you get off work and go home.

Much appreciated. Any method of encryption for SMS/MMS?

You might be able to hack this somehow...basically in MM rom when you choose your carrier it probably switches bands on the internet as well. You might want to e-mail the rom developer to see if he has any suggestions. At the very least it seems plausible.

Rooted phone, trying to unlock 4g/LTE

Hey guys. This should be a relatively easy one for some of the people here I think.
I recently bought a Verizon GS3, the i535. I'm in Canada, and was unaware this phone did not access the 3g/4g/lte bands here.
Quick question: I have my phone rooted and I'm looking at installing custom roms. I've been lead to believe some roms can unlock the bands that I need on this phone. Is this true?
I have obviously tried searching but the results always come up with EVERYTHING lol. I would just like a clear decisive answer, from someone who has possibly done it?

Ok so maybe it's not an easy one? ...
btw there are way too many image verifications on this forum, holy moly lol

A rom will not change any of those settings, the best you're going to get is probably edge data, but 3g is possible under some circumstances.
Are you on Verizon's network? If not you're going to have to change the apn to get it to work on your carrier.

No I'm not with Verizon. I'm not even in the US lol.
I bought a phone stupidly and believe I am now paying for it. The phone technically has all the bands and settings. You can do the #*2263# thing and get into options to select / "force" them...but they just dont take or something?
I only have edge connectivity right now, you are correct.
This whole APN thing is very confusing or I'm very stupid. I"ve entered my carrier, Fido's APN settings and it does nothing because the phone isnt using the correct bands.

The Verizon phone is technically an international, or global phone whatever you wanna call it. in the hidden menus of the phone there is a place where you can manually select the CMDA, GSM and LTE frequencies.
Does this not mean that the phone -has- these frequencies and that its just something Verizon has done to keep the phone on THEIR network?

Theoretically it should be able to work, but the development for that feature never took off and all the bands weren't unlocked for all carriers. But changing your apn might enable a band you need for your specific carrier to give you 3g data.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1809314
This might work, and the simplified method might open a band that you need.
Edit: and yes, locking down other bands is Verizon's way of keeping it on their carrier. You can pay them a hefty fee to unlock the band you need if you're traveling, but this isn't really an option for you. There's a bounty thread trying to unlock these bands in the general section, but it's pretty much dead nowadays because most of the devs capable of figuring it out are on newer phones.

I have found both of these threads mentioned. The bounty thread was very interesting, but unfortunately came to an end.
Every other option I've read is installing 16 apps, 1000 people saying "how do i do this??", and one guy saying "i did it"
I think i'm just going to sell this thing...

Haha, yes basically that's what that entire thread says, but the basis of it is converting an apn manager to a system app. That will allow you to make an apn stick, which should force enable the bands you weren't able to get working in the first place.
Selling the phone isn't a bad idea either, then you can do a little more research and find something that might give you 4G signal. There's no way you're getting anything that good with this phone.

Well when you say that you make it seem so easy LOL. I've had the same blackberry for four years and just 3 days ago bought this S3. I had no idea companies would still be doing this locking bands nonsense. If I do sell the phone, anyone I sell it to will just be in the same boat I am right now... and theres no way I can sell this things to an American for what I paid for it.
Sigh

Another thing that is very confusing to me is a lot of people are posting that they need APN manager to be able to edit APN settings. My phone allowed me to do that out of the box, and like I mentioned, I was able to add my carriers APN stuff, but only get 2G speed.

Somebody will take it, if it's brand new then $400 isn't unreasonable. You'd do better with the i9300 model.
Any phone tied into a carrier is going to have issues like that, but I'd look into either getting the international versions of phones, or possibly a nexus 5 if it works on your carrier. That phone looks pretty amazing.
Again, trying those settings wouldn't hurt anything and might give you what you're looking for, post 108 has the simplified procedure in only like 5 steps.

I found that post, and read a few following pages and there didnt seem to be any input. Its almost like no one saw his post. I did go into my phone, and all of those settings are there. The GS3 they dole out up here is the i747.
This things could go for upwards of $400 in the states? I only paid 315 up here, and it had all the protective stickers and nothings been opened lol.

Well I bricked the phone playing around with it...
Installed CWM for some reason, cant remember why. First thing I click was backup current rom, phone rebooted and now says software not authorized by verizon. I hope some of you more mentally capable folk out there find some comedy in my errors, because I have no clue what im doing

[Q] [K2_PLC, Cricket]Cricket 4.2 MSL thingy is weird?

So I was messing around in the ##3282# settings, and I clicked "Edit Mode". I thought, "Well, let's guess." I inputted six zero's, and to my surprise, it was the correct MSL code. I don't know how this is but now I can edit the stuffs. Also, this phone has Band 25 LTE 0_0 I didn't know that. Can any of you Cricket users verify that this is only me?

MSL Reader (see the play store) gives it to you if you are properly rooted. Its how I retrieved mine. But I know six zeros won't work on K2_CL lol.

Didn't know that I could use that 0_0
So, there's a bunch of stuff I can do now with the PRLs hehehe
Maybe I can flash to T-Mobile, they have a $30 5GB unlimited plan. (Prepaid, and SIM Card)

Educate your self!

I dont know all the specs behind it cause there was tons and tons of info and I kinda spiderwebbed out of control reading it. But the jist I got is this PRL's APN's and all that get more credit then what they are deserved. Yes to have a proper one is beneficial but its more about the codec's the radio signal of the phone and towers your connecting to and the system files in your phone itself that will allow you to do what you need to. I am still piecing things together but I am working on a finalized cricket fix to allow the use of LTE, the use of gsm or cdma and the use of European roms. It has become quit the undertaking but before you jump in and start changing files that were initially fine I would properly educate your self on the pros and cons changing the prl.
As of yet I am pretty sure Tmobile wont flash the phone nor will our phone work on the Tmobile network

Shhh....I realized the One SV is CDMA on Cricket a long time ago. Mm'kay. I also left this device...so there's that too.

Lol I was just going through threads and it's also helpful info for others as well

I have an HTC one SV from Cricket, I like the phone but am not "In love" with it. My problem is this- I just bought the phone then changed providers due to poor service at my address. Since my phone has a SIM card I thought I could switch to AT&T but the phone never accepted the new SIM. AT&T couldn't find out why, Cricket told me their was no unlock code, HTC said it wouldn't work until they ran the date of manufacture and MEID# then all changed.HTC told me to get the msl and I can change the network settings so I I can use GSM instead of CDMA. Any warnings, advice or instructions?? Out of severe stubborn motives, if at all possible I want this HTC on GSM just to prove that I can lol.

How to Discover the SPC Code from a Virgin Mobile MiFi 2200

So this is my 1st thread and hope it's useful. I have been working for a couple of days trying to get the SPC code from this Virgin Mobile MiFi 2200 device in order to program it but it was difficult. As you may know Verizon versions (at least the 3 I've programmed) had a default 000000 code that made it very easy to get into the programming but Virgin Mobile lock their's up.
Ok, to read the SPC Code from the Virgin Mobile MiFi 2200 using CDMA Workshop. Now, I have the paid version 3.9.0 and I'm not sure if the cracked version will work. Someone will have to test it out.
If you were like me you have been searching and searching to no avail. Well search no more.
-Open up CDMA Workshop
-Security Tab, in the SPC/ User Code area click on the drop down and select Universal, RAM_3A. Click on “Read”. It will ask you if you want to switch the device to download mode… select yes. It will take a couple of minutes then display a really long list of potential codes (I had a total of 57 but a lot were duplicates). Click OK and it will streamline the selections by removing the duplicates (I had a final list of 13 possibilities). For me the 1st option was the winner.
Best of luck to all. If this helped you consider at the very least "thanking me"

[Q] Transferring sprint HTC One M8 to Verizon

After talking to multiple people at my local Verizon stores and being told that they either did not know the answer to my question or could "try it to find out", I figured I'd post here.
Would it be possible to transfer a Sprint Harman Kardon edition HTC One M8 to Verizon? I have the sprint provided unlock code and it has a clear ESN, I just have been unable to find any information on whether it would perform adequately on Verizon's network or what work would be needed to make it perform.
Thank you for any and all answers

Disregarding the frequency issues, you'd have to get Verizon to add the mied to their database.....which from what I hear isn't very easy to do.

The frequency issues were what I worried about, as far as adding the mied to their database I already talked to the local store, according to them, they would be more than willing to do it.
It's unfortunate that the antenna's are different, I wonder how much of an issue it would actually cause.
Thank you for the advice!

Ok antennas may be different and the locked frequency may be there... Only one way to tell is to unlock all the possible frequency you can do that in this thread

Unlock all bands of your Qualcomm device! Use your phone globally! No bs!
Then what I would do before you just activate it on vzw and possible have a phone that doesn't work is find a friend or family or co-worker... Really anyone with a vzw simcard (obviously one that's the same size as the m8) pop it in reboot and see what you get.

man i might have to try that when my contract ends so with that method u can use verzion phones on sprint or tmobile bands right if u got a new sim card of course.If i did that i would probably port my phone over to ting

Just keep in mind that unlocking all possible bands does not mean it will work. Just means that any bands the phone is physical capable of running would work. Sense there is no real list of what it's capable of there is only one way to find out.
Also remember just like a car salesman a vzw rep will more often than not tell you anything you want to hear to get you to sign on the dotted line. That's why I strongly suggest you do your own research and testing before signing any commitment.
