A friend bought a Verizon S3. Unfortunately its on 4.4. I'm trying to get it to pick up H+, but its only getting edge (AT&T sim). I'm assuming it has the same radios as my Verizon Note 2. So it should be able to get H+. What am I missing? APNs are exactly the same as my Note 2.

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!

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.
I just bought a I535, unlokced and rooted. But seems it can't support either ATT or Tmobile WCDMA. Ive set up a correct APN, but it can only work under Edge network.(no signal if I change to WCDMA only) Is there anyone who use Tmobile or ATT? How can I do? ROM 4.1.1 VRBLK3

Hey lil buddy, i have probably 6 galaxy s3's one being my i535, and its my most pristine condition Gs3, i use a i747 which is an ATT GS3 as my main phone, all are unlocked, now from what i know about the i535 and i hope im wrong, is since its a CDMA phone, it doesnt support the same bands tmobile and att use for 3g/4g/LTE data, my i747 is on straight talk and works awesome, 2 of my tmobile T999's work awesome aswell, but only get HSPA+, which is 4g, but from what i hear on our i535's we cant get anything above EDGE when running on Tmobile or ATT.....i hope you find a solution cuz if you do please tell me!
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.

^^^^Pretty much confirmed what milan03 said.
Need some help. I am planning on switching from Sprint to T-Mobile as Sprint has become outrageously expensive if you own your phone with all these additional fees they are charging. So I wanted to know if the Galaxy S6 from Sprint would work with the T-Mobile network including LTE and all of it's features or what would I need to do for it to be able to work on T-Mobile. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
T-Mobile uses LTE bands 2, 4, and 12. Band 4 seems to be the primarly LTE band T-Mobile uses. The Sprint S6 (920P) does not have LTE bands 4 and 12 according to this thread/page. I would get a T-Mobile model phone to get full access to their network.
