Hi All ,
I had Vz droid Incredible locked. Last week i moved to att and so unlocked the incredible 2 with some unlock code . It started working on att network i'm able to make call and receive calls. But the data plan (mobile internet )and 3G is not working. Please do you have any suggestion on how to get this working.
Vivow HBOOT - 0.98 and android : 2.3.4
thanks

You will never get data because the radio in the dinc2 can't pick up the frequencies of at&T's data network.

I thought you could get 2g speeds on ATT and Tmo.
Check in your settings to make sure you have all network settings set appropriately.
OP, are you running VZ's factory (HTC) ROM or custom ROM (Sense or ??) and was your DI2 unlocked by code via eBay or by VZW Global Support while you're on CDMA with Big Red?
Can you switch to GMS/UMTS setting - and check to see whether it's picking up AT&T and/or T-Mobile - and you are in the US, correct? Are you on prepaid or postpaid with AT&T and is data enabled on your account?
Mine was rooted & unlocked via VZW, and GSM voice/SMS worked fine - running SkyRaider, CS's lates CM7.2 & NJ's Sense2.1/3.0 stock roms - (E)dge or 2.5/2G data works on my AT&T Gophone SIM with data but won't work on T-Mo unless I subscribe/add the data option. For overseas travel, my China Mobile HK prepaid Sim worked great for voice, SMS & broadband on PAYG basis here in the US too - roaming on its partners, either AT&T or T-Mobile (it's on Edge/GPRS only, I think - as I don't need to run up pricey charges for broadband access, use WiFi when I'm on this CMHK account) - when we're in Bermuda last month, same Sim roamed on DigiCel and it showed 3G connection.
Most likely, you will need to clear cache & reset your DI2's browser settings, and maybe modify the APN to get broadband/MMS to work properly, assuming that you are provisioned properly ...
Thanks for your replies.
yes i did some APN settings and mobile internet worked. But working for only Edge data connection not for 3G. This phone is still having VZW ROM (android build), But if i root it and change the android to ICS, do you people think it will work on 3G.
I need to have 3G running on my phone because of att poor service, I'm using the micro-cell to get the att service at my home (micro-cell works with 3g phones). Any suggestion please.
thanks
hey guys,
i have a verizon droid incredible 2 that has s-off and is rooted, but still using the stock 2.3.3 rom. i was going abroad to visit some family, so i called up verizon, gave them my IMEI number, and voila my phone was unlocked and i could use foreign sim cards.
when i was abroad though, i could not get data to work for my phone, but i was able to make and receive calls with the new sim. after i used my cousin's phone to see if my data pack was working, her phone got a message from the sim carrier which had all the apn settings. my phone though never got the apn settings. after reading here i saw on one post that with unlocked verizon phones you have to enter the new apn's manually.
since this can be quite a nuisance, are there any custom roms for the inc2 that, once installed, can pick up the apn settings automatically? or if not, an app or any other way the inc2 can pick up the designated apn's for the new sim automatically?
(sorry if this is a noob question :laugh:, i couldnt find an answer anywhere else)
I rooted my Spring Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-G920P) running Android 6.0.1 and I unlocked it. I want to use it in my local CDMA network, but when my phone company activated it along with 3G strangely I have signal (i.e. can make calls or send SMS messages), but my 3G does not really work. 3G only comes up for a few moments (as seen at the top bar) when Hands Free Activation (HFA) is trying to work (it eventually fails), or if I go to "Activate Device" in my setup it comes on for a little while too and then goes back off. If I disable HFA then 3G never comes on at all. Why can't I disable HFA and keep 3G connected?
Also, if I take out the Spring SIM (which is useless here since we do not have Sprint here), it tells me I should insert a SIM. Why is it requiring a SIM if I have my preferred network set to: CDMA?
I am really bummed about this after all I have been through, there must be some way to have it not require a SIM and not require activation for 3G?
You need the proper apn setup for your carrier. You should also get a sim card from your carrier, if they use them. If not, try taking out the sprint sim and doing the uicc unlock.

I bought the unlock code for my HTC desire 526 locked on verizon. but i couldn't use it because my phone never ask for unlock code even when i put unsupported sim cards..THE phone is locked to verizon USA and i have tired all the GSM simcard that i can lay my hands on and i have change the netwrok setting form CDMA to GSM but still no luck
Is their any special way that am supposed to push the unlock code into the phone???
thanks in advance
Verizon 4G phones are SIM unlocked as mandated by the FCC.
It won't ask for a SIM unlock code anywhere, but it should work on other carriers. I bought mine and used it on T-Mo US from day 1, then switched to Iusacell/AT&T Mexico and had no issues. All I had to do was manually configure the APNs and deal with the Verizon bloatware.
What error messages do you get when you put in a non-Verizon SIM? I only get the SIM card is not from Verizon Wireless message but other than that the phone works fine.
hot spot
I have the Verizon 526 using att sim and works great only I can not get mobile hot-spot to work do you have an issue or know of a fix to it

I was reading up on this issue earlier. Would have to figure out how to disable the Verizon hotspot app and use a third party app most likely. Verizon programs account authorization into this phone's tethering app.
On a device without native tethering enabled, I was able to temp root, use chainfire's hotspot control app to enable authentication over WiFi, but because there was no native support on that phone, I had to install a proxy server on it to get traffic to pass back & forth between the cloud and connected wireless clients.
Not sure if that helps, but it's a place to start. I'm going to try building a rom for the desire 526, so maybe a lot of these vzw annoyances will no longer be an issue

I've got my unlocked S9 from Samsung. I have a Redpocket CDMA sim card, which works fine in a Samsung S7E and a Google Pixel. However, when putting this sim card in S9, the S9 could not get on its network. It shows Emergency calls only and "Not registered on network" when making a call.
Sometimes it shows "refreshing sim card data" and no network. When turning to network modes, it says "LTE/3G/2G" etc but redpocket cs seems to believe the right one should be "LTE/CDMA" instead, which is not in the list.
I tried various usual ways such as factory reset etc, which did not change anything.
I tried a project Fi and a verizon sim card in the S9 and they were recognized with no problem. Thus I think the S9 is not defective.
I did some searches and people mentioned S8 had the same issue too: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/help/unlocked-s8-failed-to-register-red-t3736850
I am wondering whether anyone has this problem or a solution.
Will flashing to verizon firmware help?
Thanks.
I'm having the same issue with PagePlus! I just put the SIM from my VZW S6 into my unlocked S9 and when that didn't work I chatted with support to do an ESN change (I thought perhaps PP needed to do something on their end). I was told if there was no "LTE/CDMA" option that the phone wouldn't work on PP.
I tried using an app to switch between different network modes (including the LTE/CDMA/UMTS auto which my S6 uses) to no avail.
I'm tempted to try flashing the VZW firmware, but the post here makes me wonder if it will accomplish anything.
I tried that APP to force network mode too but it did not seem to work.
As an update, Redpocket customer service is really great that they moved my number from Verizon network to their GSM/ATT network, and everything works fine now. I do not want to try flashing verizon firmware for the same reason...
Too bad Samsung could not get such a simple thing right.

Can we sue them?
I faced the same issue too. Apparently, Samsung does a setting update that prevents the sim from registering for Verizon's MVNOs. I called them and they said they NEVER heard of this issue. Apparently, you all did too. I am tempted to sue Samsung for this since this could be an antitrust issue. They are preventing competition by working with Verizon and feigning ignorance.Can any of you comment on this?
I was going to go with one of Verizon's mvnos. And their SIM card would not work and I did not realize it until I spend the $40. I had to put an actual Verizon sim in my unlocked phone to use the Verizon network. So either Verizon is blocking the S9 on mvns or the mvnos don't have the updated information for the S9. Total wireless told.me it Had to be a Verizon branded phone for it to work. So I think if someone flashed the Verizon firmware on the unlocked version it probably would work.
i dont see anywhere on the post where you contacted the MVNO provider, to register the ESN or IMEI of the device.
Also does this MVNO even allow BYOD?
i remember I had a line from Cricket or Metro that had a sim card, it worked on my Nexus 5x, however inserting it to another nexus 5x, it didnt work, I had to call them to register my IMEI
Hey guys this is an old thread, but maybe this will help someone. My old Red Pocket SIM would not work on the S9, but my renewal came with a new SIM, ending in 8222-15XX (old was 8180-50XX) For ****s and giggles I put it in and it showed LTE/CDMA and verizon. Had RP CS switch my active SIM and now it works with no workaround!
TL;DR Try a new RP SIM if you are using one a year old or older.
I also have similar issue.
Where I used to get lte over voice, but no longer getting after a recent update from samsung. Using Redpocket cdma sim
Now I have lte and voice, but dont get lte over voice even though redpocket said they have enabled Volte on my line
We just added an Unlocked Galaxy S9 (replaced S5) purchased from Amazon (Black Friday sale), ordered new Sim from Pageplus (MVNO using Verizon ), called them to transfer the phone number, popped it in and the S9 configured itself for Pageplus, and everything works perfectly...

That's great news. I switched to GSMA due to CDMA issue. I will switch back to CDMA after my current plan expires.
I heard that RCS (messaging via wifi connection similar to imessage - samsung messages app supports it in pie I believe, not sure about oreo) is active in verizon now including mvnos. Have you tried it?

I tried for my unlocked note 8. For the new sim coming from red pocket, it works great at the first time. But later when I switch the sim to a GSM sim for international travel and then switch the sim back to the red pocket sim, the same problem appeared. I have to use verizon sim to get LTE/CDMA back in the emergency mode.

Traded in my S9 with an S10+ and the redpocket CDMA sim works now!

I think you've found the answer for those who are unable to get their existing RP SIM to work on the S6-7-8-9's running OREO or PIE. I just took a later serial numbered CDMAV SIM (89140000018821472XX), inserted it into another S8+ that I have, booted it and saw the Verizon Wireless scroll across the top. I'll chat with RP today and see if they will switch the ICCID numbers between old and new.
After countless hours looking into this problem, I tip my hat to you for the solution provided.
Try as I may, in the end it didn't work for me.
It worked for me when I flashed the latest un-branded U1 firmware G960U1 UEU6CSI1 via the patched Odin, from:
https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model/?record=E68EDDB6DBFB11E99E59FA163EE8F90B
I've also done a full factory reset from recovery after the flash.
I guess they must have fixed it with the latest firmware updates... ymmv
Since the August update, both of my Verizon branded S8+'s work directly upon inserting a RP sim card.
POSSIBLE SOLUTION!! (YMMV)
I had a similar problem when I upgraded to Android 10. I no longer had CDMA as a choice for Network mode. Here is the solution that worked for me:
Step #1:
Go to the phone dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#*
This will bring up a new screen
Select "Phone Information"
You will be greeted with a scary-looking screen with lots of stuff
Scroll down and look for "Set Preferred Network Type"
Select "LTE/CDMA auto (PRL)" from the drop-down
This will give you phone service... but not data.
STEP #2
To get data services, you will need to create an APN.
Go to settings/connections/mobile networks/Access Point Names
Click on add and enter the following:
APN Name: Verizon
APN: VZWINTERNET
MCC: 311
MNC: 480
Authentication Type: None
APN Protocol: IPv4/IPv6
APN Roaming Protocol: IPv4/IPv6
I found that this APN worked for me... (YMMV)
Hope this is helpful...
are you folks still having trouble with this? it doesnt seem like a difficult obstacle to overcome
Thank you sooo much! Creating the APN did the trick.
