I'm in the same boat. I'm in Texas and bought a SM-G900P from a friend after I ran my iPhone through the washing machine. I'm using straight talk on a cheap LG phone now, but straight talk is telling me the SM-G900P is not compatible with their network. I'm tempted to get a SIM and see if I can make it work anyway. The phone is unlocked.

I assume that in 8 mos you got this resolved. Tell me if ya didn't and I'm sure that a solution can be had. I've GSM unlocked 2 G900Ps and am currently using one on at&t via straight talk
I'm interested also I have straight talk n got a sprint s5 handed down. I'm currently using a grand prime with 8gb internal space n it's driving me crazy on lack of space for apps...

@asadnow2k, do you think you can help?
foundsoul, all you need to do is unlock your phone and change the apn settings. Theres obviously more to it, but not too much. I use MOAR 7.0 and a straight talk sim using at&t service. Its pretty darn good even if its only HSPA+

either carrier will work, but its far easier to get it working with good data speeds on AT&T. Thats what i run on my G900P and i get HSPA+ at around 11 MBPS on average. Let me know if you need any help. Here is the apn settings.

I just got the refurbished Nexus 5 for freedompop through the stacksocial promo. Very good deal (unlimited talk, text and 500 mb LTE data/month, all free for a year). The device came with a very minimal install of android 5.1. Given the fact that the device has a special dialer and sms program (since everything goes over the data network), I was wondering what the options were for updating to 5.1.1 (stock vs other CM based roms).
Help appreciated.
I would be interested in the answer to this too. This sounds like a great way to stay contract free when I return to the States. Maybe look in to how you get the service working on a BYOD phone?
this the 199 deal? I was thinking of picking this up and just cancelling the service to have a spare 5 lying around

The phone is a refurbished b stock. Mine was in great shape except a small nick on the right side. So I cannot complain. The bootloader comes unlocked and there is a superuser zip on the phone so all you have to do is flash a custom recovery to flash that zip. Now I have to figure out whether I can put custom roms on this puppy.

Since it's the N5 it shouldn't be a problem for recoveries or anything rom related. They may have filled it with there own bloatware but it will work regardless

The issue is that since this phone operates solely over voip and data for messaging the normal dialer and messaging app is deleted and it has its own freedom pop dialer and messaging app.. I am not sure how integrated the whole freedom pop stuff into the system is.. I don't want to install a different rom and break the integration.

This is the promo I got for my sister. Is this VOIP the same thing as Freedompop 4G LTE? I thought FreedomPop was piggybacking on Sprint's cell network.
It does run on the sprint's LTE network but the sms and talk goes over the data network rather than the regular sprint network. So for all intents and purposes it is a VOIP phone with sprint reception. If you don't have LTE reception, the voice and sms parts don't work either.
I also took advantage of this incredible deal.
However I've had quite a few freezes with the ROM it's running.
It seemed just like Stock, however looking around I've noticed they've tweaked Stock quite a bit.
One of the most significant (and surprising) tweaks was the inclusion of Ambient Display.
I'm about to flash some ROMs and see how it works. Update this later.
Hmm. I had no issues with the rom itself. I think it is running very smoothly. I did root it though

Does this mean the 500MB free data will be used up as it's being used for calls and text? Sorry for the noob questions but I've never used VoIP before, like ever. My sister surprisingly isn't into social networking but she only texts with her best friends the most.
I know you probably don't know but if I flash CM12 on it would FreedomPop not work?

freedompop zip
I was wondering could someone post the freedompop zip that came on the phone? I foolishly deleted mine but I'd like to experiment with it now.
So I installed a recovery by simply flashing it since its already bootloader unlocked, obtained root and everything works. also made a backup just in case.
I went through the freedom pop rom on the phone and it has the apk files for phone and messaging. you can also pull them from the app store.
Im gonna flash a custom rom and then install the apk's. It should work and I could always set freedompop apps as the default dialer.

I flashed both Stock and CM but neither even recognized the Freedompop SIM card.
Guess we have to stay on their ROM if we want to use their service.
I also got the deal from freedom pop though I'm now regretting it as I'm reading this whole issue about the messaging app.... especially the fact that it's only a voip service being used, might as well use hangouts then!
Besides that, how good is the overall condition of your devices? I got tricked into thinking it was a genuinely "new" nexus 5 by pocketnow, nowhere did it read refurbished or "pre owned" until I got the email from freedompop.

Well that's depressing, hopefully someone finds what they did and is able to port the contents from their rom to another. Or we could also contact their support personally? they seem to be pretty dev-friendly. Have you tried messing with the prl? It's been a while since I've dealt with sprint

Just tried every PRL setting, still no dice.
Regarding the phone condition, mine arrived perfectly flawless. It can really pass as a new device. However I've heard that some people receive units with dings and bumps on the sides. Guess I got lucky
Mine Works!
I installed cataclysm rom as its one of my favorites. just updated the profile and prl as usual in the phone settings.

It's strange that a ROM would be the reason for a SIM to work. Maybe it's using specific modems we're not aware of? The zip file in the phone seems to be the ROM. I had to unlock the bootloader, it didn't come with TWRP as others have claimed, to root it and installed TWRP to make a nandroid backup. I might take a chance with CM12 later today.
Hello, I've been searching on the internet, all forums, everywhere to find out how to flash a sprint Galaxy note 5 to boost mobile. The note 5 was bought after february of 2015, only issue is, after 16 months of fighting with sprint on multiple issues, I dropped the account, and the note 5 was an upgrade on installment.... Now it's on the dreaded blacklist due to account balance owed. I really don't want to lose any money on this phone, but there's no info on the net about it!
Would like someone to point me in the right direction about this, i really don't need an expensive paperweight. Thanks!!!
Note 5 is running 6.0 marshmallow......

What about note 5 Verizon to Boost?
Like so many others that have Boost Mobile service, there lack of good devices is a pain. I have a perfect unlocked 64gb Note 5 Verizon. I've used it with a mobile with full 4g LTE as soon as I changed the APN, so I know it's unlocked excpecially since Verizon is CDMA and with T-mobile being GSM. So is there Any way to flash it to Boost Mobile.
I picked up an unlocked T-mobile G5 and I'm using it for AT&T... The rep at the store applied the APN setting for ATT but I noticed after I got a new SIM installed and went home the reception and data connection started dropping in and out.
Basically, when the phone is sleeping and then I wake it starts searching for network then gets reception then get a signal for a couple mins then drops again and searches. Since it's a T-Mobile phone on an ATT network is there certain settings that I need to turn off like VoIP, WIFI calling etc? Any ideas?
Wipe out all existing APNs and start from scratch? Use the NXTGENPHONE APN. I'm using an unlocked T-Mobile H830 LG G5 on AT&T and I have no problems. My sister's Nexus 6 uses the same APN no problems either.

So I followed your steps.. I wiped all existing APNs and entered the APN setting in the link you provided and used the NXTGENPHONE APN but I couldn't get data but just had reception to make calls. So I changed the name to AT&T and the APN name to phone and I get data and reception but it still drops in and out.
I went to ATT to see what they could suggest but the only thing they offered was maybe a faulty SIM card and switched it out but it's still doing the same thing... Has anyone experienced this? Should I do a factory reset maybe? If I do that, I won't lose SIM unlock right?

I was going to suggest a factory reset as a last resort. You won't lose the sim unlock; it's permanent unlock.
Troubleshooting is the name of the game and you'll have to keep having to try potential solutions until it's fixed.
Hopefully it's not a hardware issue with the radio or you'll have to swap it out and reunlock it all over again.
are you on 10A or 10D?
10D seems to improve the radio... but if you wan root/twrp make sure you do all that on 10A first before upgrading to 10D.
also, have you tested the phone in different areas? or just at your house and immediate area? perhaps it's just an issue in specific locations? what if you drive across town or something?

Performed a factory reset and issue is still there but slightly improved but I need to test it more... Basically, when I wake the phone it searches for network (not all the time but here and there) then locks a signal..

In on 10D.. Yeah I tried it in different areas and driving when I'm art a stoplight I can see it searching for network.. I switched the SIM card and did a factory reset any other suggestions?
Is your Network mode set to GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto? If it's not area specific it might be hardware related.
How did you get the 10D update on AT&T btw?

Last thing to try is Mobile networks>Network operators>Search networks. Maybe manually choosing one might help? Enable Data Roaming?
Could be a hardware issue if not software.

Yeah, I tried that too.. Got back from Tmobile and they said that another person experienced the same issue couple weeks ago and they said that some G5s that are unlocked and used on different networks are still trying to jumping back on the tmobiles phone network hence my phone searching signals off and on...
Just wanted to give another confirmation that the LG-H830 works perfectly on AT&T (H83010D [BL,modem,system], rooted, unlocked). I gave up on Verizon and my fiancé now uses it on AT&T. She loves it!
Geez.. I got scammed. The person looks like they file a insurance claim on the phone so my ESN is blacklisted! Great! Lesson learned the hard way. Any suggestions what I can do? I saw that people are buying bad ESN phone on ebay as long as I post that it's a bad ESN.
OP, I had the exact same problem on T-Mobile after doing a temporary unlock. I took it to a T-mobile store and they tried swapping the SIM but that didn't help so they did a warranty replacement. Two days later I had a new phone and everything works again. I didn't (and won't) try to SIM unlock it again.

I did some research online on blacklist repairs but do you or can anyone give me some recommendations on it? Sucks cause even if I get it repaired I wondering if I still will have issues with the reception..
Anyone tried this site? http://www.imeifix.com/
I just tried the sim unlock as well. I'm a tmobile customer so I really didn't have a reason to do it. Just wanted to see if it would unlock.
Well it said it could not be unlocked and I, out of dumb curiosity tried the temporary unlock. It worked and said it is unlocked until August. I think roughly 30 days after I did it.
Well, later that day or the next my phone started doing the same exact thing. Signal dropping and searching. Furthermore though, I woke up to a warm phone today. Same as it gets when doing lots of app updates. I unplugged it from the charger and watched the battery drop 4% in only 15 minutes of standby (screen off, not using the phone).
I just flashed it back to stock and relocked the boot loader and will see if it fixed it. Was running rooted 10d when this happened.
I'm starting to think that sim unlock app is evil or something. I haven't put my sim card back in as of yet but will update if it starts acting up when I do.
Possible explanation?:
I noticed a T-Mobile diagnostic app try to gain root access during the weirdness which I had never seen before. Maybe the sim unlock gains a sudo root to do the unlock but on a rooted phone with a non stock root manager causes the unlock app to endlessly loop trying to gain access and thus cause a warm phone and signal dropouts? Just a hunch but would be interested to see what others think.
*** Ok so quick update, I put my tmobile sim back in and the signal is dropping in and out again. The phone worked fine before I tried the unlock. This is so uncool.
Sent from my LG-H830 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I think I may have isolated the cause. I disabled the device unlock app in app settings and rebooted. Since then I haven't noticed the signal drop out.
EDIT: Yeah, that's a big nope. I'm still experiencing the problem after a total wipe and reflashing using LGUP refurbish mode. It's still dropping in and out, sometimes three times per minute. +1 to never use device unlock app.
I'm on stock unrooted 10d btw.
Oh, and the same SIM card works just fine in my older phones.

Hello,
Can you guys who have the unlock note 8 and on AT&T network confirm that it does not support LTE?
I saw a review on Best Buy stating that he could not get it to work after numerous call to tech, and AT&T suggested they buy the AT&T version and unlock it.
I just bought the unlock version from Samsung and planning on using it on AT&T, I tether a lot in my car and if LTE is not available I will probably return it.
I am not going to paid almost $1000 for a phone that does not support 4G LTE

Exactly. Weird how it's not working. I had an unlocked version of the S8+ on AT&T which worked on the LTE+ network.

I have the factory unlocked version and I have LTE. Make sure when you activate your note they use and new sim.

Well, I am in the same boat as you. I bought unlocked directly from Samsung and put my AT&T sim from my AT&T branded S7 edge in thinking that it will just work. First I didn't even have data so I changed the APN and got data but only H+ speed at best. I did chat online at AT&T and the first time the tech said that I needed a new sim and I can get a free one at a local AT&T store. I reverted the phone back to stock without data connection and went to my local AT&T store. I told the guy there what the tech said and he took my phone and just mucked around with it and got data connection but only H+. He said it is probably the best this phone can do. I am like ??? But I didn't argue with him and left. I again went on chat at AT&T website and the tech did something on her end and eventually open a case for me. I waited 2 days and finally got an email saying that it is the area that I am in and that would be the best signal I will get. Again what the ????. I had LTE all along in the past at the same place, home. So after 2 more days, I again did chat with AT&T and this tech basically said I needed a new sim and he will send one to me for free. So now I am waiting for the new sim and hopefully with the new sim, I can register the sim with my IMEI and get LTE back. You should probably save all this trouble and ask for a new sim to start with. Good luck.

Thanks Xenshen, I think that will be my last resort. You said unlocked verizon variant, what is that? There is unlocked and there is branded unlocked directly from Samsung. My is not even branded. I guess either way works with flashing. Would love to get the direction if you don't mind. I will save it for the last resort after I try a new sim.

all Verizon phones are unlocked without the bootloader being able to be unlocked but if your flashing carrier firmware you can go from any carrier without voiding warranties and messing your phone up. The unlocked one from samsung just comes without the bloatware and from what ive read its still bootloader locked as well because of the snapdragon chipset in it. But if you put the att rom on it you wont have a issue and will get all the features including the lte enhanced services and all

ive flashed 3 different roms on it now so seems to be just like the s8 where all US models are the same minus the carrier oh and i removed most the bloat and just disbaled the apps i wont use
Well all I had to do is put in the sim from my V20, add the NXTGENPHONE APN and it was game on immediately.

The new sim will fix your problem. The old sim was connected to other phone imei.

I had the same issue
I received my phone last week and I was also having LTE problem. At first it was no service, then after some apn configs I was getting H, and H+ speeds. I had talked to multiple ATT reps and most said I would have to wait until they released the phone for it to be seem in there system. Since it was realeased on the 15th and the update came today, I thought it would fix it. It did not so I called ATT again. after about forty mins on the phone and many restarts later we finally got it to work. I now have LTE and LTE+ for ATT on my unlocked SM-n950u1 .

I think he said something along the lines of, " It's permissions were defaulting to 3g," or something similar. He may have also removed my device and re added it. He also mentioned that he was getting permission from a supervisor to make an official report since it seems to not be an isolated incident.
Attached is the post on best buy I was referring to, that's why I was scared since I have already ordered it.
But glad to hear it works and should work just like the locked version for LTE.
Getting the unlocked today, will goto local AT&T store and get a new sim card first thing. I will let you know how it goes.
