tmobile sim in a Verizon model - Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers

trying to get my sim to work but im getting around 10Mbps speed and theres no way to check my messages.
im upgrading from a Tmobile Tab S2, which did have a messages app.

did you edit the apn? i have a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy tab s4 coming in today i can give you my default apn later if you want, otherwise its pretty simple to look up on google

I did not check the speed when I did this. The T-Mobile SIM had the APN's already available. I did reboot the tablet after putting in the SIM. Maybe give that a go.
I did have to set the APN when I put in my Mobile Hotspot ATT SIM. But after setting the APN and rebooting the tablet it worked as well.

the APN was added by the sim, didnt seem to be anything i needed to change. what setting affects the speeds?
also im missing the messages app, think verizon removed it.

Did you check if you can install Messages from Galaxy Apps? I don't remember seeing it on my Verizon one but the T-Mobile one has it.

Yeah didnt see it the galaxy store. And android messages isnt compatible either
Might return it, try the international version instead

OMG! (Anyone???) samsung gn2 networks prob

I have a sprint samsung galaxy note 2 that is rooted and flashed to verizon running macksrom 5.0 and i started having this problem. the problem is i can call from my phone when it is not on wifi but the 3g/4g isnt showing up top in the status bar i cant access the internet unless im on wifi. when i go into settings and click on mobile networks it acts like it is going to do it then it hangs at a black screen and a box pops up and says unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped ive tried cleaning caches and fixing permissions, nothing helps, there is also another thing that pops up and says error #89 unknown error. it also says when i click on stuff, use touchwiz or xperia to perform this action. Always or just once.) I bought this samsung gn 2 online everything was already done to it. I think whoever installed the macks rom must have left the the touchwiz on it. Because it keeps asking me when i do things, perform action using touchwiz or xperia I also noticed that i have goomanager on it. Can i use the goomanager to reflash this phone? If so can someone give me information on how to properly do it. i also read something about mobile odin. Which one would be the easiest to use?
You have too much going on there. I would relash the rom. Make sure you wipe system, casche and devick; may want to do old school and wipe three times.
Goo Manager is probably suppose to be there, by design from the ROM developer. That should have been in the OP on the ROM three, along with known issues.

Doesn't verizon run a slightly different hardware version from sprint? Are you trying to connect to the verizon or the sprint network? If verizon, there are two possibilities. 1 - hardware, the sprint phone just doesn't like the verizon signal. (unlikely) 2. - ROM, is the ROM the sprint version or the verizon version? if it's the sprint version I would say that framework differences are causin the issue and would reflash the correct version for your carrier (or the correct port - the hardware differences I mentioned earlier)
Have you called customer service about getting your phone set up on their network? About getting the IMEI number registered in their database?
In other words what have you already tried with this used phone in order to get it set up on your provider's network?

it was originaly a sprint phone that was rooted and flashed to verizon. ive been using it for months on the verizon network and have had zero problems until about five days ago. i dont know if the rom is sprint or verizon. how do i tell? i would reflash it if i knew what i am doing. i am a complete uber noob. im just hoping someone will give me directions how to reflash it. i dont care what rom i just want it to work again on the verizon network. i want to be able to use it to go geocaching with my sons. just got it all set up ready to go caching with em and the very next day it decided to go mental on me.
I would check out the thread on taking the Sprint GN2 to TMobile, Verizon, Boost, and Ting. I think it's in the question and trouble shooting subforum.

I don't know personally, but I believe so. You'll have to read and ask in that thread. Those are people who may have done the switch and can give better advise from experience.

no mobile data

i cant get mobile data to work after updating to cyanogenmod 10.2 or 10.1. i have tried several diff builds same problem every time. I can dial and and send texts just cant get mobile data to work. wifi works fine. can someone point me in the right direction.
i have tried messing with apn settings but dont really know what i am doing. do i need to flash new modem?.
Try flashing a different ROM and see if your data comes back. I just had this same issue with one of my S3 phones... no matter what ROM I flash I get no service. I am actually calling AT&T tonight for a warranty replacement.

Sounds like APN to me. Search your APN settings for whatever particular plan u have and make sure they are entered correctly.

Should be able to find them right on here, just search for your phone, your carrier, and whatever plan u have. I use straight talk, so I have to make a new APN everytime I flash a new ROM, its no big deal though, only takes a couple minutes...
I had a similar issue once. It turned out I had the ATT apn selected but not the ATT LTE one. Once I selected the lte one it worked (and it still worked when I was on 3g.)

[Q] Help with Verizon SCH-I535 Phone to use on T-mobile

Hey everyone and thanks for taking the time to read this,
So the story goes as so: After doing some research couple months ago about the capability of the Verizon Galaxy S3 to work on T-mobile, i purchased it, and got it to successfully work on T-mobile(texts, calls, wi-fi). The problem is, i just recently upgraded to include a data plan, and i cannot access the internet, despite taking my phone to my cell phone dealer and contacting T-mobile.T-mobile even sent me a guide to do a mastery reset to factory in hopes to solve this problem, only to tell me afterwards that the phone version SCH-I535 is a "verizon locked-software" and i won't be able to set up an APN to work on the T-mobile network. This was all due to the fact that i was not able to set up a APN for T-mobile, and every time i tried to access it through setting, it brought me to a blank black page with the only option of "Reset to Default". After reading other forums and talking with some people, many have suggested i take this issue to XDA to find a solution.
So, here i am.....Does anyone know if it is possible for me to break/root/ or whatever it is called so i can successfully access the t-mobile network on my phone? Preferably an easier guide since i am sort of a newbie at this sort of stuff.
Thanks again for reading.
Before your Contract change, you were able to receive and make calls successfully with T-Mo Sim right ? Even now you can make calls too correct ? The reason I am asking this is to be able to check if you are really unlocked off of VZW. If you are not unlocked, then that would be the first step.
You are right, the APNs do drive Data Connection. If the stock firmware does not allow you to change APNs then you will have to root. Please post a screen of your Settings > About phone that shows your Rom Version, Baseband and Kernel.

Hey Perseus, thanks a lot for taking the time to reply. I bought the phone in the summer off someone who had verizon. I have always had T-mobile, and considering this phone is GSM, i decided to buy it because it would probably work for T-mobile. I had the phone unlocked, and i am currently using it to make calls, texts, and even use wi-fi with no problem. The only problem at this time is that i recently added a data plan which i cannot currently use. Here is a screen shot of what you have requested.
Thanks again
First try
Settings > More > Mobile Networks > Preferred Network Type.See what it is set to. Change it to LTE/GSM/WCDMA if needed. See the other option System Select as well.
Also separately try the following.
Hit ##DATA# in the Dialer. In the subsequent Menu choose EDIT > OTHERS > LTE APN
If all fails, please Root the phone and then try. The way you go about is
1. Flash a Custom Recovery via Odin. Make sure the version of Custom recovery is for your model D2VZW not D2TMO.
2. Flash a SuperSU zip file via Recovery and then hit fix permissions in the recovery.
Try the APN Settings after that. IF you can actually access them, then set them according to this link.
If all the above fails, I'd suggest a custom Rom for d2VZW.
You will never get 4g trust me I had one... you will just get the E

Ok, so i tried to changed it to LTE and i got no service at all, so i switched it back to Global. I also tried the dialer thing several times, and got the " connection problem or invalid MMI code"
So i guess i am going to have to root the phone? Does anyone know a good video tutorial or written tutorial on how to safely do this? Also, what exactly is rooting?

You have to enable the mmi codes to use them. Anyway as stated above your reply you will never get 3g or 4g just edge (seen it personally) which is pretty darn slow.. Not worth it if you ask me and be paying for data.. If you still want to root it and keep trying to add sons check the Verizon forums.. They could probably help you a lot more than on this side of the forums

Guys, he is not getting ANY data signal at all. His problem isn't getting the specific icon but being not able to change APNs.
@HackThisThing, you are better off following up on Verizon Device forum. That forum does have a video tutorial for Rooting. Here's forum link.
I don't think you will be able to change APNs without rooting. I checked with a buddy of mine who has the same device as you.
Here's a good answer to What is Rooting ?
Even if you CAN fix it, why bother if you can only get 2G? I'd sell it or trade it for a phone that's more compatible with T-Mobile 's network instead of paying for data and only getting dial-up speeds. I get that solving problems is fun, but OP do you want to live with only 2G?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk
I don't agree with that assessment. Just like the T999L phone, this device will work on LTE Bands just fine. OP just needs to wait for LTE to be rolled out in their area. There's a coverage map and roll out schedule on T-Mo website and the T-Mo News blog.
It's worth a look, but could still leave them with patchy coverage. If it's going to be a while, why wait when it's not hard to just trade the phone? I guess I don't see a reason why hold out on getting a Verizon phone to work when you could just get one that works now with little to no monetary loss. It's just a Verizon S3, not really something worth "waiting" for when they could get the same thing but more functional on their network of choice.
They made an honest mistake and waiting might give them "good enough" service - but other than that they're stuck with dial up speed only and risk bricking a phone they could just trade or sell now.
Maybe I'm just impatient and risk averse.

Porting T-Mobile ROMs

There seems to already be several T-Mobile Note 4 ROMs available in that section. I have found several references to Verizon Note 4 owners flashing T-Mobile ROMs. What needs to be done to accomplish this and keep the device on the Verizon network?

I'm on US Cellular, so I don't know how different we are from your carrier.
I've got TWRP and the StarKissed kernel, along with the stock ROM running fine on my Note 4. I went ahead and tried flashing T-Mobile ROMs, the only problem is my mobile data.
Unless I flash the StarKissed kernel on top of the stock ROM and dirty flash the T-Mobile ROM, I loose 4G. I can make calls, and receive text, but I can't send text or use the internet.
If I dirty flash, I can make calls and receive text. Still can't send text, but I do get 4G internet for a short time.
I've went into the 4636 menu and toggled CDMA/LTE auto PRL, and toggled the radio and airplane mode, but that doesn't give me mobile data after a clean flash.
Should just need the apn for verizon and should work fine
Would that solve my issue as well, use the US Cellular APN?
I have StarKissed and TWRP and my phone is laggy as hell. It will randomly just pause for a second or so and then catch up. It did it when I typed "phone" in this reply. Driving me crazy. I want to start over with a new ROM and see if it fixes it.

I don't have lag at all, you should be able to go ahead and flash a T-Mobile rom from there. Just make a backup first.

My first 4 did this. It was f'n Infuriating and determined to be defective so I swapped. My new One is fine.
Edit: l literally tried any and everything l knew and what was suggested. 1 Knew it was defective but didn't want to wait for a replacement. / finally gave in because it pissed me off so bad I would'nt even try to type or write , even the freaking spen did it.
Hope you get it resolved!
Did anyone get anywhere on what would be necessary to port a TMobile Rom over the the DE Verizon Note 4?

Verizon Visual Voicemail Apk from Samsung

If anyone needs it this is the Verizon visual voicemail apk that works on unlocked models.I backed it up from my unlocked note 10 plus.Came from Samsung Apps.
Nice find, thank you!
device says not supported
I've been looking all over for this. Thank you!
Can anyone help me troubleshoot. I installed the apk, but the phone says it is not compatible when I try to install it.
I have an unlocked sm-n976n (Korean version) rooted with twrp and the N976NKSU1ASJF bootloader (also Korean) on the US Verizon network. Now running dr. ketan's rom.

Thanks! The OP file worked until yesterday it started pestering me to update. Unfortunately I ripped GStore and a lot of other apps out of my phone(abd) and couldnt. Your file, the last one posted, works great on my unlocked S10e!
installed fine here on my Verizon Note 10+ flashed with U1 firmware. Thanks!
Is the app supposed to inscribe my entire voicemail box or just new voicemail? Also does anyone know how to get it to play nicely with the Google dialer app and show vvm?
Newest version of Verizon Visual Voicemail
Here's the newest apk for note 20 ultra unlocked
I can't believe it. Sprint/tmobile disabled it on their network to force people to use their piece of crap software.
So I have a Note 10 unlocked that would not connect to Verizon. Tried everything so I thought and then tried the first two downloads from this thread that also didn't work, it would say unsupported, I then downloaded the apk from 7-10-20 and it opened immediately and even replaced the original red voicemail app on the phone when the other two didn't replace it.
Thanks pspbyer!
I need help in adding Verizon Visual Voicemail Apk, from a Samsung S20 Ultra 5G, originally purchased from ATT.
Thank you, in advance.
Chet
I was only able to install the last one but when i tap its icon the message 'not supported' pops up
I think it only works on a few carriers
Looking at the code the carriers are listed
I have VZW Prepaid which technically does not support VVM . I have the default Verizon VVM on my phone that does not work. Would this one work?
Just a quick shout out of major-league, profound Thanks to y'all for posting these apps!! I got one of them to work on my wife's unlocked Note 9 and am hoping for similar success when I try them on my unlocked Note 10+.
