i was wondering if anyone in the US has got their i780 working perfectly with ATT service. i am unable to get 3g and also i am unable to receive MMS. well i recieve mms, but the message is blank. im wondering if there was any specific steps i need to take to have them activated. i searched all over, but all the solutions seem to be only for the UK and singapore. any help is appreciated. thanks.
also i am using a stock rom.

i had to call att to get my phone working correctly, it was on their end. They have to set up their end to work with a pda.

Your ability to get 3g will depend on if the phone supports the frequency american 3g is on. A lot of foreign phones don't
I had a hard time getting to cell me a data package too for my phone since I bought it unlocked. The a holes act like "if its not ours we cant guarantee it will work!" then they wouldn't cell me a data package except the crappy medianet one (I should have been dishonest and taken it, would saved $15 a month for the same service). Called back, got a different rep, gave him the IMEI number, told him it was a PDA, went smoothly.
Does anyone know how to unlock the SIM for the Verizon TP2 so it can accept any SIM card?
You'll need to have been a long time customer of Verizon (although, I've read of new customers having good results) in good standing.
Call Verizon up and tell them you want to SIM unlock the phone. If they ask, tell them you're traveling overseas and want to use another provider for GSM service.
This is a very new phone for Verizon, so they may not have the instruction set for the Touch Pro2 yet (my rep didn't). My rep had to contact HTC directly for instructions, but he had both unlock codes in his computer. You can let them contact HTC, or tell them you want the codes and you'll contact HTC directly yourself if this is the case.
They should give you two unlock codes (Unlock A and Unlock B, although you should only need Unlock A).
Write down the code, turn on your Touch Pro 2.
From the homescreen, scroll all the way to SETTINGS.
Click ALL SETTINGS in the bottom left hand corner of the screen
Click the PERSONAL tab.
Click the SECURITY icon.
Enter your Unlock A code in the box and click OK/Enter.
Your phone should now be SIM unlocked!
This is how I did it. Neither AT&T or TMobile SIMs have been rejected in my TP2, but I have yet to make test calls.. I think there is a software restriction somewhere that needs to be bypassed for US based GSM, but I don't recall for sure.

hmm do you know of any online services who could give me the unlock codes?
Why do you need a service? If you're a customer in good standing with Verizon (60days or more I think) they'll give you the unlock code.
The ROM's havn't been hacked yet for the CDMA/US versions of the phones so I don't think there is anyone else doing unlocks yet.
All I had to do was send an email to Verizon from my account login page and the next morning i had the unlock code waiting for me.

The qualifications for unlock eligability is to have had service with verizon longer than 60 days, only one unlock per line in 10 months, and to have your account balance current, as well as this will void your warranty with the equipment per verizon. It does not affect insurance on the device is what I got. I got a $15 prepaid sim card from at&t due to TMobile not offering data on prepaid, unless you have a sidekick. So after successfull unlock, and my new gophone sim, I was able to make and recieve calls, and took a sec but got data services working, but restricted to edge speeds in the US of course due to the hsdpa being on a different frequency than they use in europe. But hey, my phone now has 2 numbers with a few clicks of a button, no need to even restart the device, so when I am in a building that I cant get cdma service due to the high band frequency it uses, I can then use gsm to make outbound calls, and it's cool to floss to your coworkers that your verizon phone showing the at&t network. Whats the point of having a world phone if you cant play
One upgraded device $199, one prepaid sim $15.00, sticking with verizon after the first tp was crippled, a fortune, being able to showup the iphone on almost every level, Priceless.
Being a good smartphone, there's not an app for that. hahaha

Just got my TP2 with Verizon and lovin' it. Can't wait for this to be unlocked.
I have read about unlocking the SIM card on the phone. It's nice that they will do that, but why would one want to do this? What is there to gain from it?

The big benefit for those of us who travel is that we can use a foreign SIM in our phones when in a foreign country and pay local rates instead of VZW's $2+/min charges. (on Orange when I'm in the UK I pay like 40cents/min to call the US and like 15cents/min to call the UK).
In the US and only with the Verizon phone you can also get say AT&T or TMobile service and have a 2nd local(US) phone number on it and switch between VZW & the other provider as you wish.

I sent Verizon an email on Friday afternoon and got a reply with my unlock code within two hours. It was a very nice reply too. The reason I wanted to do this was I am planning on moving to another area code and have found it much easier to get a job some place if you actually have a local number, so I'm just going to get a prepaid SIM for a while...

I got my code as well. I tried a co-workers SIM card from his iPhone 3GS running on AT&T and it worked. Too funny. The only issue was that he got 2 voice mails and a text while I had his SIM card in and now I have an unread text showing that I can't get rid of. Arrrgh. I also had 2 voice mails that were showing up as well but I got rid of those by calling my phone and leaving a voice mail. Now to just get rid of that stuck text message. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. By the way... thanks for this post. It will be handy when I travel to Europe and Mexico.

If you are comfortable editing your registry, (and have a reg edit program installed on your phone) you can go to:
HK_USER\System\State\sms\Unread\Count
Change this value to 0
That should work. (at least it does on normal sms messages, not sure if the SIM card makes any difference.)
EDIT: You may have to check "..\MMS\Unread\Count" also.

Just curious, are you using that SIM card on a US Rhodium? I ask because I got my phone SIM unlocked via the code Verizon provides, but I've been wondering about being able to use the phone in the US with a SIM card from say AT&T or T-Mobile.
I have a question for you guys.
The SIM card that comes with your phones (both Verizon and Sprint), they are dummies right? Do your phones work if you pull em out?
Will be getting my TP2 from verizon shortly. Love the fact that we can unlock the SIM Slot and insert and Active US AT&T SIM card...not so sure I like the Edge only speeds though....
Does anyone know if we can avoid calling and just get the unlock codes posted on here or are they strictly by account?
I'm unable to get it setup on my Note4. I get the incredibly useful message "Backend error" from the AT&T site after I enter the sync code on their site.
Is this a temporary issue you think, or is it just the usual incompetence of an inept software developer who can't be bothered to give meaningful results to help narrow down the cause of an error?
Is it working for everyone else?
Yep, getting the same error message. Hope this is temporary!
I was having a similar issue. On my Gear S3 when trying to get the sync code, it kept giving an error message. Finally after 9:30 central time I was able to generate the code and get it synced. I think the system was overloaded with all the at&t pre-orders being delivered yesterday.
Anyone have AT&T S3 but linking to S7E 935F International phone? Keep trying to set up Numbersync but it connects to my wife's 935A. It won't see my phone. I am running Hydra Rom but the watch is connected with Bluetooth no problem.
For numbersync to be setup, you have to have a username for myatt for that exact phone. Then it will allow you to setup numbersync if that phone is HD voice capable.
I set it up on my Axon 7 without any problems.
Just tried again, same error message

According to AT&T International S7E (Exynos) is not compatible with LTE Frontier watch on AT&T due to no HD voice? Can use Bluetooth, but not the Numbersync. I'm pretty PO'd right now as that was why I bought it.
Anybody getting this to work yet?
I have not been able to get it to work. I am using an unlocked tmobile note 4. When I called I was told it was because it was not an at&t phone. What if I change the build prop to 910A from 910T? Would that be enough for it to work? Dont want to try and mess things up.

Hi I'm new to this forum. Like OP, I also have a Note 4 ATT LTE and had the same Numbersync error. Here is how I resolved my issue after extensive research:
1) Make sure to enable HD Voice on your phone if supported (for Note 4: Settings->More networks->Mobile networks->Mobile data->check Enhanced LTE Services (mine was unchecked)
2) Before even attempting to sync via Numbersync, make sure that your cell phone number is set as primary in My ATT account. I didn't have a primary number set, so I tried making the Gear S3's number primary (when I was prompted to add one) and it didn't work properly. So I learned it's essential your PHONE (the one you intend to connect with S3) is set as primary, NOT another phone/tablet/wearable line in your account.
3) After all the initial errors and hassles thereafter, I just reset the S3 after following my above instructions and the sync was seamless and I was up and running.
Hope this helps...it certainly worked for me!
Is your phone stock? Rooted? Custom rom? AT&T branded phone?
Yes! That worked, thank you!

The red pointer is for the chronograph function. It does not move unless you tap it to start the chrono. Bad design in my opinion.
Soo no one here might have an iPhone they were able to get numbersync to work on with the leaked iOS app?
Has anyone got Numbersync to work on International S7E 935F?
I have number sync working with my Nexus 6P, spent about an hour in the AT&T store working with the salesperson that sold me my Frontier. He was under the belief that it was tied to IMEI numbers so he supposedly cloned my wife's IMEI number to my 6P which didn't work. I told him that I read that HD Voice/VoLTE had to be enabled and because I had a Nexus 6P that was the problem. So he called support and asked them to enable HD Voice on my line. While he was doing that I was googling, found this thread: https://forums.att.com/t5/Device-Features/Nexus-6P-No-HD-Voice-and-Wifi-Calling/td-p/4346076 and followed this guide:
Navigate to Settings > More > Cellular Networks and enable the toggle switch for "Enhanced" 4G LTE Mode. However, if the toggle is missing then follow the steps provided below:
Launch the Dialer app on your phone, and dial*#*#4636#*#*.
Choose Phone information.
Enable or select VoLTE Provisioned Flag.
Restart the phone.
Go to Settings " More " Cellular networks and toggle the switch for Enhanced 4G LTE Mode, and the HD Voice calling feature should now be activated on your device running Android 5.1 and above.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I enabled the VoLTE option, restarted my phone and sure enough when I went back into the MyATT webpage I was now offered the ability to enter in a sync code and it worked. He was never able to get support to enable HD Voice on their end. Going back into the setting it shows that VoLTE isn't active, I have no HD Voice option or feature in the Enhanced 4G LTE options at all but my number is indeed synced. I left my phone at home, walked the dogs and made 2 phone calls and the number did go over as my cell number.
Now the other thing he mentioned that should work is to use an approved AT&T phone that has HD Voice capabilities enabled. Then if I were to put my SIM in that phone, wait for the MyATT webpage to update showing that this other phone was tied to my number, then perform the number sync at this point it should also work, once it's enabled it won't go away according to the ATT rep. I didn't need to do that so I can't confirm but it sounds reasonable.
Supposedly their one number solution works with any carrier.

Not sure how it works with any carrier when the sign up asks specifically for your Tmobile phone number? Lol I did however read about the beta sign up page leaking people's accounts by a glitch in the system. https://www.xda-developers.com/t-mobile_digits_security/

I went to the site and started to opt in for the beta. It presented me a 10 digit number that was not one of my several T-Mobile lines. I went no further.
About 10 minutes later I went back to the site. They have changed the sign up process. You now just sign up (no data exchange) and they will get back to you if you are selected.
Hope it works as I have 2 smartwatches and a phone line on T-Mobile, plus I have a work phone on Verizon. This could make it easier for me to use one number and not have to worry about setting up call forwarding on multiple devices.

Hmm well that might be cool then!
Just signed up on mine. My Pixel XL and Gear S3 now use/share the same number

I'm not certain that this is the cause, however, since activating Digits, my S3 doesn't seem to want to connect to the mobile device through the cellular network any more. I used to get all the notifications and now -- nothing. Anyone else experiencing this?
I can't seem to activate the "Remote connection" on the Gear App, so I'm not convinced that the problem is with Digits.
Any thoughts?

Quick update: Much as I hated to do it, a device reset on the S3 and a reinstall of the Gear app on the phone solved it. My guess is that the phone and the S3 device exchanged pertinent info from the esim card that changed when the phone number changed upon enrollment in Digits. Redoing the whole thing, I presume, forced this new information into the equation and solved it toute suite.
If anyone has any additional insight, I'm all ears, but I'm good to go now.

Have a chance to get a good deal on a unlocked sprint version.
Then go for it. But be sure to be Sim unlocked and lte bands accepted. The Korean sells for 800$ on eBay. Also can be flashed with European firmware and supports secondary screen. Imo has better quality also software aside. Noticed with LG G7... If you got better deal then go for it.
Are you sure it's unlocked and if so, how was it unlocked? I have a Sprint model and I'm having to wait ‘til my 50 service days are up to get Sprint to unlock it. I've contacted some pretty good unlocking services and hearing the same thing from all; As of now only Sprint can unlock it.
As we all know Sprint 5G service area (like all others) is very small but they're still charging everyone who activates this phone on their service for a 5G service plan regardless of whether they have 5G service in your area or not. I got a great deal on a 3rd party phone but it was locked which I knew going in. As soon as it's unlocked, I'm going to try GFI. BTW, it's a great phone.

Wont be sure until I put my sim card in but it owner says sim unlocked. No interest in 5g anytime soon. If possible will disable/limit to lte.
One thing's for sure.... LG phones drop like a rock! I couldn't wait but I’m thinking in two months this phone's (sprint model) probably going to be selling for $400. Imo the only thing holding the price up for now is there just aren't very many out in the wild. Kind of strange really, since according to the Ifixit breakdown, it has the same Qualcomm 5G X50 modem as both the Galaxy S10 5G phone and the new Note 5G. Otherwise the specs are very similar. I guess it’s all perceived value.

I am just waiting for these to drop even more if that. Doubt the 5G works in other markets.
were you able to use wifi calling ? were you able to eliminate the 'activate' message. Thanks
Finally Sim unlocked and ported over to Simple Mobile, a Tmob Mvno. It was relatively painless and took less than an hour for the actual port. No reason to be on Sprint right now if you don't have 5G service in your area. I was on the phone with Sprint yesterday for at least an hour and a half and gave them every chance to do something about my bill. I asked them point blank why anyone would pay for 5G service when it's not even in their area? Their response was just lame. I'm guessing it will be at least one if not two years before 5G is working in a wide spread fashion in a lot of cities in the US.
Now, as for the service on Tmob's network, it's only been about a hour since I switched but have made couple of phone calls and run a couple of speed tests. Phone call quality seems same same and speed test speeds seemed the same as if I were on Tmob., 15 down and about 7-10 on the upload. Now the freaking really good news. Simple mobile is running a special for 3GBs data and unlimited talk, unlimited text. at $25 per month. If you do auto pay after taxes it's $22 and change.
are all t mobile bands available? Does it work with t mobile 5G?
As of right now, there seems to be a problem with the APN record on the sprint model. Sprint, the scumbag company that it is, has locked the APN. They'll unlock the phone to except other sim cards, no problem. But when your new provider tries to register your phone on their network it doesn't fully complete the process. In other words, part of the process is that a new APN record is pushed down to the phone identifying the new MMS DNS server for that network. I use Simple Mobile which is a MVNO of Tmob but Sprint has locked the APN on my V50. I;m still able to get data but can't send/receive pictures via text messages.
So be ware.

does wifi calling work? how are updates handled . thank you
We have a pair of sprint unlocked V50 and just got an update over the metropcs service.
In the service menu it says voice over wifi is provisioned but in the settings network voice over wifi is off and the switch wont stay to on position when i toggle to on.
I still see my cellular connection in the notification area disappear then reappear.
Is this normal behavior or is it trying to activate in background? Maybe it checking for 5G?
I think it using more batt then usual possibly
Now....... finally, some good news and this took a bit of doing. To start off with I originally tried an old Fi sim card I had to port out of Sprint after those scumbags unlocked my V50. I kept getting a T077 error during the Google Fi activation process and Fi support just kept telling me that the V50 wasn't a supported device and they couldn’t help. I told them I thought it was a bad sim card so they suggest I pick up a new one at Best Buy. So, after a trip down to Best Buy I found out that they rarely have Fi cards in stock so I picked up a Simple Mobile (tmob mvno) sim for a buck and the port/activation sort of worked in that I successfully ported my number from Sprint and I was able to make calls and get data but couldn't receive/send pictures (MMS) in text. So, I said screw it and order another Fi Sim card thru the Google site and waited a week. I got it yesterday late and tried it this morning and crap it didn't work with the same activation error, T077. I have been scouring the internet for days for any info the error code and somewhere along the way I remember seeing something about taking the mvno card out and then putting the Fi card in and trying to activate without rebooting the phone. Now remember this is really all about not being able to edit the APN record with the correct DNS info so you can receive MMS picture by text. Anyway, after slipping in the FI sim card to my V50 the activation process suddenly squeaked on thru and low and behold I'm now running on Google Fi with MMS working and APN record is correctly updated the Fi info. I think the reason it worked was that the activation process thought I was a Tmob customer. When it asked me for account info to port my existing number to GFI the dialog screen show things like.... Enter your T-Mobile account number and asked what was the name on my T-Mobile account. But for whatever reason it worked and now I'm finally free of Sprint.
It worked for me but your mileage may very.

What sms app do you use? Lg or Google? Cuz with Google messaging I have fully enabled RCS. Sending pics and videos over data and wifi. Why bother with mms when RCS technology is way better?
