Hello,
I've been running more than one ROM on SGSIII and I can confirm that CM10 (build 8/28) provides full service globally (data + calls)... Beans ROM and CleanROM worked for calls only since there was no simple way to edit APNs, they also had problems with com.android.phone, its was FC.
I flashed CM10 build 8/25, I got data but whenever I make or receive a call the phone freezes. Yesterday I flash build 8/28, and everything is working fine on it. I can make and receive calls normally, and I can use 3G as well.
Just wanted to let you know in case you want to use the phone on a network other than Verizon and you don't want to go through all the steps in the Development Section.

Hi,
You said you can use 3G as well, would you mind which other (Non-Verizon) GSM carrier you used and were able to get 3G working? Was it a US domestic carrier or a foreign carrier?
Thank you
Wish I had this phone in Nov. Just back in May from a westpac cruise

Yeah, what provider's SIM are you using? Is it AT&T or foreign? Also, did you need to change APN or it automatically pulled it in? Exactly what ROM are you using?
For real mayne let's get some more info!
I mean, I've been able to use T-Mobile and AT&T's SIMs in my Verizon GS3 since day one, stock TouchWiz, and now CM10, BUT NO DATA. I've always been able to make calls and text messages, but you can't touch the APN settings, so no data. Am I missing something? How did you get data to flow?
I'm using it in Lebanon, specifically using MTC Touch network. It is GSM and the frequency I believe is 850. I read on some Lebanese forums that they use 2100 as 3G frequency.
I'm using CM10 build 8/28, on previous builds, data worked but on calls the phone used to crash. On 8/28 it is working perfectly. It just doesnt show the signal strength in the notification bar.
I didnt even have to update the APN, they were pulled automatically.

Oh wow! So a foreign SIM will pull in the APN settings! My AT&T and T-Mobile will get me EDGE where it says UMTS. But in your case the signal is not reading at the notification bar, and it lists Verizon Wireless.
This means SGS3 is already unlocked for global carriers!
I assume the future update will just fix the signal reading and allow us to change the APN.
Thanks for your post!
no it is not unlocked, it didnt work on stock. CM10 unlocks it.

On stock Voice and SMS was also unlocked on domestic. With CM10 I get the same voice and sms. Data is a no go except for international carriers. I have 08/28 build and still no data for me.
If it is anything like the Rezound, it comes SIM unlocked from the factory, but the stock TW framekwork may not support the full GSM capabilities yet. CM10 doesn't sim unlock it, it just adds the missing code.
What part of lebanon are you from? im From tripoli myself, have you tested this on alfa at all?. id like to know if i can use my phone when im there next month I have an alfa sim tho.

it should work on alfa as well, I only tried with mtc in Beirut.
Did you have to make any changes to the phone settings or give unlock codes? or was it simply swapping the SIM card? I'm looking to do this on future travels to south America. For example looking to work on Movistar Venezuela (GSM 850 and HSDPA 1900
Hi, did signal bar work at your end?
I flashed the CM10 M2 recently but signal bar appeared blank(so signal at all), and -120dB at status in settings (both EDGE/HSPA/GSM)
Even though I can dial someone, strange.

Try CleanROM, install APN Manager Pro and convert it to system app in Titanium Backup, and you're ready to go to edit your APN settings.

If you plan to use a GSM SIM flash the AT&T CM10 version. You have to change the name of the device from d2att to d2vzw in the install script or CWM won't let you flash it.

What do these screenshots show. Mine says the same in Texas.
So here is what I am looking for... i have a Verizon SCH-i535, and what I am looking for is someone who has flashed the stock tmobile rom and changed the bands within the phone its self using the hidden menu (netmonitor app) to see if they can get more than just edge data... I have it flashed to AT&T right now and am using a friends T-mobile sim card that we cut down to fit into the SCH-i535 GS3... it seemed to sync with the towers and get mms.. text.. calls... and internet... just not 3g... I would like to know if someone has found a fix to this issue...
Thanks for your time.
Why not just flash the Verizon Jellybean Rom (Cleanrom or Jellywiz) since global mode was enabled in that Rom? Then drop your tmo sim in.

You know I had not thought about using the global mode on verizon.. I will have to give that a try... do you know if that will allow for 3g on tmobile?
Useful thread so far, but I have a several questions.
I currently have a Verizon Galaxy S3 SGH-i535 with a T-Mobile prepaid sim card (unlimited everything), I can call and text, but cannot get any network access.
I'm currently running Clean Rom 5, settings on Global. Is there any way I can enable data, preferred 3G? [due to that T-Mobile will get 4G on Verizon phones next month).
On CM10, I get Edge and can receive text, but cannot send text. Tried APN settings, etc. Is there a fix for this?
I have tried everything, but no luck. Any suggestions is appreciative

So what I did is i unlocked the bootloader... rooted it... and then flashed the AT&T stock rom on it and then plugged in the TMO sim card and then changed the bands to GSM auto. and it picked up edge... I was able to get access to the network with data... but the only catch was that it was slow as hell... as it was only edge. I am still working on programming to get the i535 on the tmobile bands... thus far I have not been able to get the phone on 4g or even 3g yet... I will keep you updated though.

have you tried using the hidden menu in the dial pad at all??
There is an app out there that will get access to the menu and allow you to change everything in the phone... but be very careful with this app as it can and will brick your phone if you do not know what you are doing with the app..
Netmonitor --> look for this on the google play store
To change the bands to at least get data on the phone, follow the instructions below:
1. install Netmonitor on the S3
2. open the app
3. hit the menu button
4. select field test
5.select UMTS
6. Select DEBUG SCREEN
7. Select PHONE CONTROL
8. Select NETWORK CONTROL
9. select BAND SELECTION
10. Select either AUTOMATIC or GSM Band Preference
* if you choose automatic the phone will look at the sim card and go from there to get the phone on the network to get data on the phone.
11. Select GSM ALL
This is the thread that I am following at the moment to get the phone on HSPA+ or 3G.. If you have anymore questions then please let me know I will do my best to help you out.

I have not messed with custom roms just yet I am working with stock roms and rooting and unlocking bootloaders right now... I will see if I can find them time to load a CM10 on my s3 that I am using for development and get back to you with the results here as soon as I have them... I am not for sure if I am going to be able to get to it this week as I have alot going on but I will try and get to it.
Thanks for your support.
In the mean time, I will see if the CM or AOKP team can implement these settings.

hey guys sorry that it has taken awhile for me to get back to you.. so I flashed the TMO rom on the I5 and got the same results just edge.

greetings, all.
i have the same problem that you are describing. running CM 11 Nightly (but problem also existed on VZW stock & CM 10.2). i have read all the forum's about this topic, but as of yet there seems to be no SURE fix to get anything faster than Edge data from T-mobile.

What known missed calls issue? What would LTE have to do with missed calls? LTE on AT&T is data only. It doesn't do anything with calls. You can dial *#*#4636#*#* and try to set it to gsm only or something.

Believe me I have tried. It's not possible. But ik you said you didn't want to, but you really should look into custom ROMs. There's some that are basically stock with just better battery
Except for ATT. Its a well documented fact that they have it disabled. Any changes you make revert back to default.

Its a fairly well known issue with ATT and LTE phones.
As far as I can tell since LTE IS data only it has a hard time receiving calls when its connected to the LTE network. I think it has something to do with only having 1 antenna and it cant communicate on voice and data at the same time. Or, maybe not.:silly: All I know is that when my phone is connected to LTE I will not receive phone calls. All calls will ring a few times and then go to voice mail. I eventually get voice message notifications when the phone switches out of LTE.
Any changes made in the field test mode do not stick. Thank you very much ATT.

I've had 3 different LTE phones on AT&T and never had issues with missed calls and I'm constantly on a LTE connection. My phone kicks to hspa+ right before I receive a call and then it rings. Goes back to LTE about 30 seconds after I hang up. The only thing I can think of is that you are on LTE only in the field test mode thing. That will definitely give you call problems. What does it say that you are connected to when you go into the phone information menu?

I've had a few LTE phones too but I can confirm that this is an issue with AT&T and the HOX. (At least in certain areas.) The phone is *supposed* to do what you said and switch off LTE when a call comes in but that doesn't always happen. I've noticed it the most at my office where I usually have 4 bars of "4G LTE" or one or two bars of "4G". I'll have a long period of time with no incoming calls or texts and then when I make a call (and the phone switches to "4G") I get the backlog of voicemails and text messages. Hard resets haven't helped and AT&T refuses to admit that it's a problem.
Heres a summary of what I have found:
1 Being in field test mode does not affect incoming calls.
2. When making outgoing phone calls with LTE or HSPA displayed in field test mode, the connection will switch to UMTS and then revert back to LTE or HSPA after hanging up. I dont know what that means, just throwing it out there.
3. On a few occasions during my testing I have noticed that I could not receive calls when HSPA is displayed in field test mode. I think that the phone had just switched from LTE, although I havent been able to 100% verify that.
4. My connection at my house varies between LTE, HSPA,EDGE.
5. EDGE is great. My phone makes and receives calls all day long when I have a EDGE connection.
6. Most of my testing has been at home where I have crappy reception to begin with. On a few occasions when I had my wife with me I had her call my phone(connected to LTE). Same as when at home, my pone never rings.

Exactly!
I have Samsung Galaxy S3 on AT&T and I have same issue when connected to LTE. I have been working with AT&T CSR for over a week and no resolution yet. I have talked them into switching my data plan from 300MB LTE to Unlimited Standard Phone data plan. (Unlimited standard phone data plan uses HSPA+ and not LTE, which would resolve the issue)
From what I have understood so far, its not the phone, its the AT&T LTE network.
Wouldnt people with the same phone have more answers for you?

I was on phone with them last night. They have created a case number for me so their "technical team" can look into it. They promised me to get back to me before friday on this.
For changing the data plan, the CSR tried to change it but it didnt work yesterday. I blame it on the CSR because I know some people on XDA has done that before. I am gonna call them again and have a different CSR try it or me.
And plus, with this change, you get unlimited HSPA+ for just $10.

Thanks for the link. Those settings actually worked for me. I had already tried a couple different APN configs but none of them seemed to stick.
So, now I have successfully disabled LTE.
Unfortunately, I'm still having intermittent missed calls with the phone connected to HSPA. Also, At work in certain areas, we have rock solid LTE reception and guess what...no missed calls. WTFrack?
At home the only time I can get regular calls is when the phone is connected to EDGE.
I seriously think that there must some relationship between 4G/LTE and signal strength. Does anyone know If EDGE and 4G/LTE use the same towers or same power outputs?
I wonder if anyone have use verizon htc one m8. On Tmobile. My phone keep disconnect very ez and signal wont automatic come back. Sometimes i see theres 1 bar of signal, but i cant make a call or send sms. I have to manually turn on and off Airplane mode to send sms or call.
I have try 3, 4 customs ROMS so far: GPE, VIPER( i choose Tmobile in setup carrier), STOCK ROM( cant send sms of mms or call while full signal) i wonder if anyone have same experience.
Wait, you're using a Verizon unit on TMobile? I'm surprised you can send an sms or make a call at all, given that vzw is CDMA and tmobile is GSM... I don't know how you'd even get that to work

HTC one m8 from verizon is unlocked version, it support most of carrier, that is wat i know.
I wonder if any dev can look into this problem .
Actually, I've been having the same problem on VZW.
I was just about to post about this, I've been having big issues on vzw. I've lost voice connectivity completely, only 4g works and even then it comes and goes. I've tried flashing firmware and radios, new roms, but nothing. I'm about to try a full ruu and see if that does anything, I suspect it's a Sim issue though.
Verizon M8 on Tmobile call end issue
I am having similar issues where every once in a while the call ends right after dialing. The phone is Verizon M8 rooted with Insertcoin ROM being used on tmobile. LTE and SMS works. I'm wondering if flashing just the new firmware 1.55.605.2 would help. I remember having similar issue on Tmobile S3, it was fixed after they release a new firmware.
I just want to make this topic jump to page 1.please help us if anyone know how to fix this.

I tried flashing ATT & Tmobile radio.img files, but the signal was totally gone. The phone is still flaky when LTE is on, currently switched it to CDMA/GSM to see if the call end issue resolves.

I hope they come up with a fix soon, I am thinking about getting a tmobile brand M8, the data speed gets really slow every now and then.
Y'all should jump on the ViperOne ROM 2.2.0. It is doing good for me. Still has some signal issue, but it is like 95% better now.
I have ARHD 8.1 and it's doing really good. I have to toggle airplane mode on and off. But then I stumbled on this, but haven't made any sense on it

Try a different radio. The .0222 radios were giving me problems and I switched back to the .0321 radios. Your mileage may vary
Hi guys, this is my first post so please be easy on me. I have an unlocked Sprint Note5 that I use on Tmobile network right now. I added the 'fast. t-mobile.com' APN and have mobile network working. BUT ONLY 3G!! The fastest I've gotten so far is about 10 Mbps or so, and usually it's just 2-3 Mbps.
My question: is there a way for me to get LTE on this device with Tmobile? Or it's hardware/software impossible? For the simple reason of Samsung Pay, I'd rather not root my phone. The Samsung Pay has given A LOT promotions so far and I prefer to keep it.

I was in this same predicament. You have to choose LTE.
What worked for me was choosing LTE/CDMA mode from Network Mode and then when setting up the APN, there should be a section at the bottom that says 'Bearer'. Click that and choose LTE. After that LTE started working for me. You should also be able to switch to Automatic Network Mode after this.
so is the phone already unlock
OMG, it worked like magic!! Who would know to choose LTE/CDMA knowing that Tmobile uses GSM. Many many thanks!! All of sudden I'm getting ~50 Mbps v.s. the 2 Mbps 3G speed. This is NICE!

I bought the phone at full price at Best Buy and it took me a while fighting with Sprint to get it unlocked (I was with Sprint at the time even). According to their unlock policy posted online, the phone should be automatically unlocked already if bought at full price. They honored that but it just took forever and so many departments to get it done eventually. You'd have to be tenacious about it. I plan to do a factory reset with tmobile sim in to get rid of all the Sprint bloatware.

Hi everybody, also my first message here.
I got the same problem, but a little worse. I bought a SM N920P unlocked by mistake (from ebay) as I didn`t know that Sprint was CDMA. I live in Brazil and there`s only GSM carriers. It works here for voice and data but can only get 3G (up to 8mbps) while my other phone (moto e 4G) goes up to 30 mbps. And if I choose LTE/CDMA it goes offline .
And worse, it always trying to activate and receiving the message 'activation not completed'.
I wonder if I root it could it be turned from N920P into N920i or any other.... is it possible?

Have you figured this out yet? For me, you had to choose LTE from the "Bearer" setting in the APN settings. Not only Network Mode.

Hey I'm on Verizon note 5, and I haven't found a fix yet. However, u can follow my fix here.....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3280342
last post in the thread. I've found a way to enable LTE, until a phone call is made, then u need to switch back to cdma/LTE until LTE pops up, then switch it back to global. It's a solution, but kind of sucks.

Sent from my SM-N920V using XDA-Developers mobile app
fix for all your issues.
This is the fix that worked for me but, you need to have your MSL code for the phone...everything works for me LTE MMS everything.

As far as to remove hands free activation..your phone needs to be rooted and follow this guide since this method worked for me.
youtube{dot}com/watch?v=-SEVcT9FJvw
You need to put it back to auto after you get lte to work. This allows it to switch between the two when you are making calls or online. If you keep it in lte/cdma, your gsm carrier will not wotk.
This worked for perfectly for me! Thanks foruonlyfrom007 for the advice to set it to automatic. Now i have LTE and can make calls with no issues! And by the way all you have to do is download package disabler from playstore to stop the activation, no root necessary

Yes I was able to get mms working perfectly simply by adding port 80 as the mms port.
My only problem now is that mms only works when I am not connected to wifi. If I receive any mms I have to disconnect from wifi and then tap it to receive it.
If anyone knows how to make mms work with wifi too, please comment and add @textbook.

ive had this issue on many phones theres a setting about download mms while on wifi usally on most 5.1 and newer not all bu most
it kicks in lte or highest data speed avail even with wifi on just to dl the mms
something about wifi handover to lte making sure wifi calling is on but i saw a setting in mine somewhere just for that
