Hi...I am using a galaxy note 5 which was bought from usa under verizon mobile phone company which I believe to be unlocked since I can use my local sim carrier in this device. The problem is that.... I am facing with software update. You see the software update option is very much supposed to be in this pattern.....
settings>about device>software update.
But I am seeing the software update option directly inside the settings option, right underneath 'about device' option rather than seeing inside 'about device' option which really confuse me. And also upon clicking on software update which is located underneath about device (ofcourse -_-) Says that 'software update is temporarily unavailable'.
And 2nd issue is I cant find this device's imei number. Of course I know the procedure of finding imei number which is open dial pad and dial *#06#. But when ever I dial *#06# the dial pad remain unchanged rather than popping up the imei number.
Please guys help me out with this issues

Hi
I got a LG Fathom but I can't use it because it needs a activation through Verizon. I am in Canada. I am wondering if some one has the same issues. Or I can get the custom rom in it so I can use it on GSM network here in Canada without any activation from Verizon. Also how Can I test if its Unlocked or not? Please help me turn this brick into a usable phone. Thanks XDA

Don't know too much on this subject but I do know that if you look at all the apps you should have a "superuse" app which means its unlocked. Also Verizon doesn't use Sim cards so using it on a network that needs sim cards doesn't work to my knowledge.
LG Fathom does have the sim card
I does have sim card. It's a world phone but useless until activated. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks team
Also in Canada and also got an LG Fathom (aka VS 750). It seems the best way to use the phone outside of Verizon is to change the phone's "Network" mode to disable CDMA and use only "GSM/UMTS Mode", otherwise the phone will always ask to be activated whenever it is powered on.
To set the Network mode, in Windows go to "Settings" > "Personal" > "Phone".
In "Phone", click the tabs from "Sound" to "Security" to "GSM Services" to "Network".
In "Network", under "Mode of Operation", click on "GSM/UMTS Mode" and click "OK".
Your LG Fathom should now be ready for use outside of Verizon.
Next, get the phone's IMEI: in Windows go to "Settings" > "System" > "System Information".
In "System Information", click the tabs from "Version" to "Phone Info" -- the 15-digit IMEI (eg. 359943...) will be displayed below the MEID and the MDN.
Next, find a local phone provider that will support that IMEI. Most have web pages that will let you check your phone's IMEI (phone compatibility). I've just signed up with Koodo and that seems to be working now. Hope that helps.
I have searched and haven't found any threads relating to this question.
I have an HTC 7 Pro that I tried, didn't like, and now want to sell. I want to get all the info off the phone first.
I have reset the phone, which wipes almost everything, but the phone number which had been assigned to the phone is still in the phone. Anyone know how to remove it?
In talking to US Cellular, they directed me to dial ##779 in the dial pad and hit "call", which brings up "Service Tools". Here, I hit "MSL" and it brings up a box for the user unlock code. This is where I should be to change the number. US Cellular was telling me the code should be 000000, but the phone says it is an incorrect code. Can't seem to find a code that works. Phone was bought new and I have not reset the code, so it *should* be the default.
Just want to know is US cellular cdma?
Also try hard resetting the device
Yes, CDMA. Reset the device and it removed everything except the number.
its begun all of a sudden
i have try to replace sim . i have checked anntena connections inside the phone.
also i have flushed older version of stock android.
nothing helps
anybody have any idea?
Is it possible the phone has been blacklisted?
it was purchaced in usa and i do not live in usa
I understand but if the carrier subscribes to the blacklist database, that may be a possible explanation.
i do not know how to check if its blacklisted
Open the dialler, type *#06# and enter the imei here: https://swappa.com/esn
Is there a way to change this number - Settings>About Phone>Status>My Phone Number
I have always kept my phone number (20 Years+) So whenever I change networks I get my port code and move on to the next network and that means whenever I put a new SIM in my phone I have to get the network to update my new SIM with my old number
The only problem with that is the SIM has it's own "Default Phone Number" Assigned to it and it always displays in my Settings>About Phone>Status>My Phone Number
It always bothers me so now it's time for a change, If it can be done?

Hello,
Since I update my pixel 2 (February 2020) my phone cant get into mobile network. on the notification bar displayed 'Invalid Sim - Emergency Calls Only' while on notification center said 'No simcard'. When I try to put the simcard to another phone its worked just fine.
I already tried to hard reset my phone and change another simcard to put in my Pixel 2 but the result remained 'Invalid Card'
When I go to Setting > Network & Internet it just display an option to 'Add a network'
I tried to proceed by tapping the option and it bring me to a page where I can download the esim and I trying to download it whatsoever and it give me an error said Network not active and give EID number to be referred to my network operator carrier.
I think this is not an issue with my carrier. It is hardware issues. please if somebody know how to help this, i literally tried everything to fix my device. or should I just wait for the next update? will they fix it?
