Several of us who live in the Kansas area on Verizon have had our LTE data borked by some change in the network configuration that happened a couple weeks ago. We are all running GPE roms; stock Verizon roms work fine. We were hoping someone with a Verizon Droid could do an apn backup and post it so we can either flash or restore it to see if it fixes our problem. Would anyone be willing to do this? I can walk whoever through at least one procedure to backup the APNs. If anyone could help, there would be a bunch of grateful people out here.

Are you on Ultras? Rooted? Details please.
What build are you on? APNs are locked up on stock 444 Ultra builds. Can you post your backup method?

Hi guys,
So I know it is super specific but I was wondering if anyone has used their Verizon GSIII in Portugal. I know theoretically it should work but I was looking through this thread and noticed that user Beemer533 wasn't able to get SMS and data to work even though he has used the same method in many other countries. Do you think the new update that Verizon launched a while ago should have fixed it? I know Beemer533's problem was before that update.
Thanks so much!
It should work fine, use a custom touchwiz rom though, if you are gonna be stock then you dont be able to get Data working

I'm using CleanROM V6. That should work, yeah?
Also, I just wanna be absolutely sure, should this work by just putting in the sim card or should I still use the method described in the OP of that thread I linked?
Thanks again!
Buy tomorrow this exact model
Tomorrow i go buy a cousin this exact model...
I read all the posts and my question is simples. This Verizon model works in Portugal with GSM to make calls and sem text messages, and with 3G?
Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to say but I will be arriving in Lisboa on Monday, I will let you know if I get it working!
I am here in Lisbon now and voice, sms, and data are working perfectly. This is with the latest CleanROM R6 based on Jelly Bean. I believe you need a custom ROM like this to get data to work properly.

Did you automatically get the APN? or have to install a apn manager app?
Before I arrived I did install an APN manager app and I put into it all the possible APN's that Vodafone might use. But when I put in the SIM card it picked it up right away without me having to go into the app or anything. So I think the APN manager is not needed, but you may want to set it up before hand just to be safe.
Cheers!
Hey, I apologize if this isnt the forum for this, but I'm looking for a way to get my friend's metro PCS S3 rooted recovered and rom'd. Now, there doesn't seem to be a wealth of information on it, but I figured that the vzw and metro variants are pretty similar as they're both CDMA, and found some guy on a forum *somewhere* saying you could flash over roms and get everything to work, but he didn't really elaborate on that any. I'm pretty lost here, I don't even know if the metro PCS s3 bootloader is locked or not, but any information would be helpful.

Starting off the MetroPCS Galaxy S3 has a unlocked bootloader. To root the device you can use the US Cellular version of CF-AUTO Root http://download.chainfire.eu/230/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-d2usc-d2usc-schr530u.zip. You can get CWMR for your device here http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.1-d2mtr.img or if you prefer the touch version of CWMR http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-d2mtr.img. As far using VZW ROMs I have also seen people use them and they usually work fine except for data and sms/mms problems however some APN tweaking should solve these problems.

If you go under settings>more settings> wireless and networks>mobile networks>acess point names or similar you should be able to edit the APN settings which provide the information you need to send and receive data and sms/mms. For a good ROM I would recommend taking a look at CM 10 or CM 10.1 nightly builds from here.
I've been asking around a lot about this and really haven't gotten anywhere. Jist of it is that when using AT&T LG G3 with a T-Mobile sim running AOSP roms i get kernel panics while using LTE. It's fine and dandy with stock based roms. I don't like stock so please don't tell me to do that. Here is a last-kmsg I've pulled after my latest kernel panic. I mainly run Androiduser00110001 cm12. EVERY AOSP rom causes it but I've found when i run his 12.11 build they come far and few. Like once or twice a day. Compared to every time i start using data otherwise. I asked androiduser00110001 what was different about that build but still haven't heard back from him don't plan on it either he's a very busy dev. It's bearable now with this build. If i flash a newer one I'm screwed. I've tried. I've tried every AOSP rom for our device. Please don't tell me to get a T-Mobile variant or get att service please. Some people here have been very dickish about it. Not going to mention any names. I'm just looking to see if anyone can look into the logs i post here. One more thing, this does not happen with att sim. Thank you.
I can't offer you much help, but I can tell you that my D850 unlocked and being used on T-Mobile doesn't have this problem. One issue I encountered with one of the cm12 based roms was it would keep losing the APNs.
I can only suggest doing an Advanced wipe in twrp on everything except your external Sd card and starting from scratch.
As the title explains I am trying out T-Mobile service on my Verizon s5, and I had previously (like an hour ago had CM13 on it) But the network connection had issues. Would flashing a custom rom made for T-Mobile maybe help alleviate network issues? Now that I am back on stock Verizon Rom it works well and I haven't experienced any of the issues I did on CM13. Anyone have any ideas of how to get off of touchwiz etc but still keep the network stuff correct?
I am would like to be able to return to CM13 so would flashing CM13 KLTE (instead of KLTEVZW) work? It mentions something about boot signing or something and that verizon users will end up having a bad time?
Also I realize that this might also considered Q&A material and for that I am sorry if this is the incorrect forum.
Read from what I posted and GeTex's reply in the link below. It's possible but it involves some work...

I recently received an AT&T G3 from a friend and would like to use it on T-Mobile, with T-Mobile's wi-fi calling enabled since I get terrible signal inside my home. The phone is currently sim locked to AT&T. I do have it rooted but that's as far as I've gone.
I have two questions:
1) what is the best way to sim unlock? does anyone recommend a service? I'd like to get this done quickly so that I can begin messing with it on T-Mobile.
2) will I be able to install a stock T-Mo ROM on the device to access T-Mo specific features/apps, and how would I go about doing that? I am familiar with flashing ZIPs and reverting back to stock, but I've never gone cross-carrier before. Does it even matter?

If the phone was fully paid off you can unlock it for free on att website.
No you cannot. You'll run into big issues and or soft brick you can only flash what your model is. You may flash a custom D851 based custom rom if that's available if someone's built it for the D850 but you cannot flash other models stock roms.

Thank you hyelton. Have you heard of any D851 based ROMs with wifi calling enabled that will work on the D850?

Sorry I have not, never had to do so but I have seen it around before. Check out the development section for the D850 you may find something there custom rom wise.
