I apologize if this is in the wrong forum. I'm trying to help a friend out by doing a little research.
A friend's daughter has a Note 5 on Verizon. (Long story short, friend's ex husband is supposed to pay for daughter's cell phone as part of divorce agreement. He did for a few months and then skipped town. Phone was cut off.) My friend has a phone on Cricket, and was wondering if she could use the Note 5 on Cricket. The local rep tells her that she cannot, that the phones are incompatible with Cricket's network, but I'm wondering if it is just their way of trying to get her to buy a new phone.
It's not a big deal if the Internet part of the phone works (her daughter mostly uses wifi anyway), but the phone part needs to work.
I'm using a Verizon note 5 on cricket. You get 4g lte but I'm having issues with mms. Sometimes mms will work and other times it won't
Did you just put the Cricket SIM in and go, or was there anything else involved?
I put in the cricket sim card and enter the apn.
Cool. My friend is going to go to Cricket and get the SIM kit and I'll hafta punch in the APN data for her later...

issues with LTE
Can someone help I'm only getting H+ no LTE
NO LTE icon on the screen
No LTE icon on my Galaxy Note 5 screen using Cricket network. The phone is brand new and factory unlocked but no way to get the LTE power from Cricket.

I had the same issue. I do get 4G LtE in some areas but not all the time
Also, if you see the carrier it says ATT not Cricket...
UPDATE: My understanding is that ATT/Cricket works in a different LTE band than Verizon. So that might be the issue. Not sure if you can change that in a non-rooted phone.
Have anyone found a fix for the mms other than the Playstore text app fixes

Yes call cricket (dial 611) and they will set up the APN for you. I have the Sprint note 5 on cricket and all mms works. Thanks
Do you have to unlock the Sprint Note 5 or just put the sim card in
Anyone successfully get LTE working on cricket? My roommates S5 gets LTE, but I'm only getting H+ this sucks!

More than likely it's probably because Verizon's network is CDMA and Crickets network is GSM and they are incompatible with each other. You can check and see if you can switch the bands but I don't know if it's possible to do that on the Verizon phones since they're locked down so tight..

I actually got it working! This is for anyone that sees this. I entered cricket apn, then I was selecting global, and gsm. I figured those were the 2 that I needed, so I went back and forth between the 2, getting more frustrated! I finally decided screw it, and selected CDMA/LTE and low and behold!!!! The 4GLTE signal popped right up! So it is working, mms too. I'm stoked.
Edit, after further testing, calls will not work while in CDMA mode. Sucks, but I think it was too good to be true. So here's what I came up with.....toggle CDMA/LTE mode, wait for 4GLTE to pop up, once it comes on, toggle back to global mode. 4GLTE will stay enabled, until a call comes in. After your call, H+ will pop in, just toggle the CDMA/LTE, and back to global. This is the only way I've found to have constant LTE.
It seems that to enable the LTE bands, they must be enabled by toggling the CDMA on. Weird but it is what it is, especially with not having root.

You have a sprint note5 on cricket? I've been trying to switch mine now and I'm having so many issues with sprint saying my phone is unlocked but when I try to add it to cricket with their card it says that there is no connection so they tell me my phone is not unlocked, can you help me??

Hey all! Long time lurker, first time poster. Is anyone working on running the Nexus 5 on multiple networks? Specifically, Sprint and Tmobile?
I don't see why this wouldn't work right off the bat. In my head, the radios are present and sprint uses the imei number instead of a Sim card. So shouldn't it work similar to a dual Sim phone?
My hope is to keep my $30 T-Mobile plan and add FreedomPop as my source for free minutes when in a sprint area.
I'd love to hear from everyone, my searching couldn't find anything but if your googlefu is better than mine please help!
Thanks,
Matt

I never thought about this before but now that you mention it, it could be pretty cool to have access to two LTE networks if one of them is being slow. Sprint want a ICC security SIM card in the phone though, not sure if you could bypass this or use the phone without it anyway.
You need a sim card for spring LTE and voice/data on T-Mobile, and there is only one sim slot.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Thanks for the quick replies guys! I'm still very interested in it, perhaps you are right that the security Sim could be bypassed. I'd love this to gain some traction, this would be an incredibly unique feature to boast!
The phone doesn't have dual radios to even accommodate this anyway. So even if you were somehow able to activate it with a TMO SIM and on Sprint (which alone would take a ton of ROM hacking), you still physically couldn't talk to both networks. The radio would need to pick one or the other. It can't just flip flop at will, it has to set up the connection with the tower and maintain it.
I disagree. If you were to activate it on sprint, you could use it without the sprint Sim... You just would not get LTE. So technically you could activate it on Sprint (as you don't activate the phone on T-Mobile just the sim).
It would be cool if we could bypass the sprint Sim necessity.

This won't work because when connected to LTE on Sprint it uses eCSFB to fall back to 1x to accept the call. This happens over the LTE connection. If you're connected to tmobile LTE, there's no way for it to tell you you have a call incoming from Sprint's network.

So do you think it could feasibly work as a simple menu option choice, or a widget to switch networks? I personally use Google Voice so receiving calls would happen in whichever network happens to be connected

No, you actually have to switch the SIM. Once it's registered to Sprint with a SIM, then swapping that SIM for another carrier's SIM completely switches it over. Then, when you want to use Sprint again, you put your Sprint SIM back.

I guess what terky meant is he will forward calls to two numbers in Google voice settings ( let's say T-Mobile and freedompop) and then whichever network will be active will receive the call. So you will still be receiving the call.
Sounds logical but it has to be tried.
I see freedompop's website now accepts meid numbers. But my concern is; will activating the nexus 5's meid number on freedompop block using the gsm functionality of the phone??
If not, it would be just terrific!!

So with the new Android 5.1 update, which now supports dual sim, (I know guys N5 only has one sim card slot) do you think it would be easier to do this?
My idea is to get a freedompop service with the imei number, just registering the phone online and you dont physically need a sim card from them. And lets say we use another sim card ( Att, tmob, etc) to use. So basically we would have two service providers.
And from my point of view; i wouldnt need both of their services at the same time. Lets say i want to use freedompop first, and whenever it expires, I can switch to my other carrier manually.
Any thoughts on this?
Brainstorming?!?!?!
Hi all!
I unlocked my T-Mobile G2 successfully and took it to AT&T to get on the Go Plan.. The sales rep put in the sim card, money into my account and my call and text is good to go.. however there is no data at all.. I called AT&T CS and they gave me APN settings but still no data.. Ive seen people say they have LTE working on the same set up.. Any advice? Would flashing a stock AT&T G2 Rom work or would i get bricked?
Seems like the phone is compatible and uses similar bands.. At this point I don't care if it is 3G, 4G or LTE.. I just need data lol..
BUMP
I have an unlocked T-Mobile LG G2 and it gets data fine on the AT&T Network with H2O (an AT&T MVNO). Double check your APN settings, and make sure data and sync are enabled.
I got a tmobile G2 on AT&T as well (Cricket mvno) and have no lte. I get 3g speeds which tops out at 2 or 3 mbps but i get no att 4g speed.

Yes, I got LTE with a Straight Talk (AT&T network SIM) on the T-Mobile LG D801. I did have 2 issues with the service:
- Every now and then, right after I end a call I would lose signal for a few seconds.
- Once in a while data would stop and I would need to go to airplane mode and back to get it to work.

Do not flash ATT&T firmware on to your ATT&T phone.
You are describing the exact issue my bud had when he went to cricket. No Data Service. He called cricket and download a small package they sent through sms and then had him respond to the text with a pin. Fixed him right up. Call your service provider and explain the whole no Data issue.
Also, I don't know how you unlocked it, but if you used a method where you copied over files then that may be the problem.
I had a sprint G2 along with my TMO G2. With the sprint one I put a custom Firmware TMO base on there and it worked fantastic really glad someone made a sprint firmware that could support TMO. If you haven't tried this type of method I would. That could solve the problem.
I bought a house and moved.
No service in the house with Verizon.
So, I switched to AT&T.
AT&T told me I would get HSPA+ with my Verizon S3.
Well... I have 2G, voice, and text.
Anyone have an idea of how to get HSPA+ enabled? Is it possible?
I have a custom ROM, but I can flash anything if it would help.
I don't think it's possible, they run on completely different networks (CDMA Vs GSM) and the phones radios are built accordingly.

There is a way cant remember where i read it, maybe on the t-mobile forum. I recently bricked my att device and came across a verizon variant and was able to use it for att with out having it sim unlocked just a few hours ago steps taken were as follows:
After swapping the motherboards i factory reset the non rooted verizon device from the settings menu as I was just going to sell it on ebay. I had been using wifi only on a sim locked t-mobile device but the camera was not working so i switched back to the verizon and was prompted to complete the set up after i booted the device with no sim card inside. I got the no sim card message and ran the app Region Lock Away that has a red circle icon and a black unlocked pad lock by chainfire. I was skeptical 1 for the device not being rooted but tried anyway. The app said it was not able to verfiy root and closed; however once I inserted my att sim card without powering off the device i saw signal bars. Now Im not sure the app actually did anything and I might have tried the app before resetting it without success but after checking the network mode in the mobile networks tab it now shows Global as the preferred network. So i started texting people and then calling all with success. Now im still on the edge network and this may not solve your issue but I remember seeing the work around I think it has to do with correcting the APN settings but there is always a way to get things done. Keep looking you will find it. Im just happy to have cell service again but Ill be looking for the thread in a day or so as well.
Forced into an AT&T phone. It worked for 4 days then stopped. Their tech support claims the tap wasn't compatible and they don't know why it worked
I had 2g for those 4 days
I'm always on wifi but noticed my data wasn't working so not an ideal switch but if you are in a bind it does work. I'm still running at&t network on this Verizon motherboard just fine

So you can use data while on a call WITHOUT WiFi being on? Mine shows 3G all the time with WiFi off. I was thinking it was a SIM compatibility issue between the LG X Power and S8+. My SIM from my Note5 wouldn't work in my S8+ on Sprint. Had to have a different one.

Same thing, I can enable VoLTE with Rom Control and can see the toggle. NO voice calls though. Says out of service area. Maybe it's because the LG X Power doesn't support VoLTE and the account isn't provisioned for it. I put the SIM card back in the X Power and I can't get 4G on there now.

APN settings appear correct. Compared that with the LG. My LG has a username and password though. I take them out and I have no data at all. The S8+ has data with the settings like yours. I can edit the APN settings on the LG where as they are locked on the S8+. Weird since this is an unlocked U1 phone. Had to flash the Xfinity firmware to get text to work though. Hopefully that didn't lock the device to Xfinity. The tier 2 tech wanted the IMEI from there S8+. I gave it to him and he said that was for the LG X Power. I had the S8+ box in front of me and even pulled it from the phone. Still said that it belonged to the LG. Then he hung up on me. Not a word since.

Hmmm, maybe he did you a favor actually.
I just flashed the U1 firmware to my Xfinity device and all the APN stuff is editable. Phone shows as a U1 model too. Everything is working great. I found everytjing in thr AT&T section of S8+.
Can you flash back to U1 firmware, pop the X mobile sim in (get the device all set up first before putting SIM in) and then do a manual search on service provider section of mobile connections? The tech may have locked that SIM to IMEI, but that's a good thing if you are wanting to use that SIM on S8, right?
Go in to network operators and pick top option (search networks) and let it search for a while. Then you should have a list like my second attachment. Oh and don't mind my lack of cell signal lol, I was jacking around with all of the editable options available now.
Be sure and set Bearer to Unspecified (with nothing else selected). Save before exiting. Added third pic to show I am on LTE+ on U1 firmware with X mobile SIM, but this SIM was always tied to this IMEI as it is Xfinity Purchased phone.

I did. I think maybe since it's not 5G version perhaps. At any rate I've gotten a fix the rep did.... Activated on another device like galaxy s10 then put back into my phone. I have LTE now since we've tricked the system
Also They are telling me they need to enter the imei range for all oneplus 7 pro phones which takes about 2 weeks. So hopefully the system won't figure out I'm using something other then S10 ?

That's rubbish....I'm on Vodafone in the UK and as mentioned, I'm currently visiting my wife in Illinois and I have full LTE service on AT&T.

Rubbish perhaps but that's what they've told me and until the rep did the trick to my sim, only got 3G. Maybe this temporary thing will be perm since he said for his Android the system thinks it's iPhone 7
I'm on AT&T with my OnePlus 7 pro and out of the box with my sim it works like a charm.
Currently "VOLTE" is displayed on top of the phone and I'm getting good data speeds (will post shortly)
I'd say something wrong on your sim or account end.

Same here. I got my 7 Pro (US unlocked version - not 5G) on June 10. Simply put my AT&T SIM in, and it works perfectly on LTE. Did not need to enter APN info, or anything.

That is pretty good of the rep to work out some solution. They could have just said "We don't support your device."
Over the years, I have used several international phones on AT&T. The issue is if you establish a new line on a new sim card, lte must be "provisioned" (their term not mine).
To provision the new sim card for lte, we need to put it into an AT&T branded phone first to activate the lte, or call customer service and give them an imei from an AT&T branded phone. Once the sim card is provisioned for lte it can be moved from phone to phone no problem.
For that reason, I still keep my AT&T Galaxy Note 2 around. Anytime I get a new AT&T sim card, I put it into the Note 2, wait until I see it has lte service then it's good to use in any international phone.
