Help with Galaxy S4 -Verizon to T-Mobile

Hello, I have been reading through these forums and am starting to feel a bit of hope. I have a unlocked Samsung Galaxy S4 that I purchased from a friend who is a Verizon customer. I am using T-Mobile (Family Mobile...same thing?). The phone works with the T-Mobile SIM card however, the data is sketchy and the Text Messaging works some of the time, but does not work most of the time. I live in a Metropolitan area with excellent coverage. In fact, my wife and children have no problems with T-Mobile service; however, their phones were originally configured for T-Mobile. I can't say for certain, but it seems like the radio's are either incompatible or that they are configured incorrectly for T-Mobile.

I have never modified a phone's OS or ROM before, but I am familiar with the concepts and I am not afraid. Is there a custom ROM that can be flashed to get all traces of Verizon off of this phone? And can I configure it so that it is optimized for the T-Mobile networks?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Here is some info about the phone:

Model: SCH-I545
Android Version: 5.0.1
Baseband: I545VRUG0C1
Kernel: 3.4.0
Build No: LRX22C.I545VRUG0C1
Hardware Version: I545.06
KNOX: 2.3
Configuration Version: J12.SAM.SCHI545.0

Tmobile tethering (was working) Galaxy S5 PLEASE HELP

I have a problem guys. I have had the Rom Xtrestolite 1.3.5a on my G900T with baseband BNG4. I have been able to tether my phone for over a year with no restrictions and never throttled on my unlimited plan with 5gb hotspot. I used to always check and my hotspot allotment never used to go up as my rooted phone on this rom had the tethering unblocked. However just this week I got a message that said I have reached 85% of my hotspot limit and that it will be slowed to 128kbps but that my phone will continue at high speed till beginning of my next cycle. I checked my usage and now my tethering plan had used up 7/7gb (I guess my hotspot plan had increased to 7gb over the course of the year, never knew since I had always used over 20gb of tethering unrestricted).

So now I am puzzled, did tmobile find a way to meter my tethering again even though I am on a rooted phone on a rom that had unrestricted tethering? Note that I still can tether unlimited but they have slowed it to 128kpbs... the funny thing is I can speed test on speedtest.com on my tether and it will show it at 25mpbs...but if I go on some websites its clearly 128kpbs as I tried a speed test html5 and it confirmed that it was 128kpbs...so it seems some websites like speedtest...and youtube still go fast, but most other streaming sites go slow on tether, so it is obviously being throttled. My question is, has tmobile implemented a new way to meter which made my 1 year old rom not be able to keep making unrestrictive? And if so does anyone know which newer rom is unrestricted and completely uses only my phone's internet not Hotspot Data allotment?

support for t-mobile 3g & 4g?

anyone working on facilitating >2g on T-Mobile network with the Xiaomi RedMi Note2?
Per mi.com/note2/specs/ it appears the device will support:
4G Network TDD-LTE (B38 / B39 / B40 / B41: 2555-2655MHz); FDD-LTE (B1 / B3 / B7)
3G network TD-SCDMA (B34 / B39), WCDMA (B1 / B2 / B5 / B8)
2G network GSM (B2 / B3 / B8)
Whereas T-Mobile support site indicates it utilizes these bands:
4G via: Frequencies: Band 2 (1900 MHz), Band 4 (1700/2100 MHz), Band 12 (700 MHz)
3G via: Frequencies: Band 4 (1700/2100 MHz)
2G Frequencies: Band 2 (1900 MHz)

Or for starters does anyone know if this type of mod is even possible given the modem chip used in the device?

Who's going to dump AT&T N5 for a T-Mobile variant?

I'm seriously considering this since the AT&T model will supposedly never get root and it's bootloader will always be locked. Anybody else following suit?

Weird audio issues after latest T-Mobile update.

I have a bone stock, unrooted Nexus 6 on T-Mobile.
Android version: 5.1.1
Build number: LYZ28J

After the most recent update, I can no longer hear media through the speakers. Notifications come through fine, calls work just fine, etc.. But I can only hear Youtube videos, Google Play Music, or inline videos on Facebook through headphones or over Bluetooth.

I have repeatedly checked the volume, turned Bluetooth on and off, made sure that my MOTO 360 was turned off and disconnected, and today I did a factory reset. All to no avail.

Anyone have any ideas? Should I root and flash the previous version before the security updates?

T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge +

Just got my t-mobile s6e+ and wondering if there is any root for device.

If I move my VZW note 4 to T-Mobile, can I root?

I spent a lot of time searching, but I couldn't come up with the answer... if I took my VZW note 4 over to t-mobile, can i use their firmware and root my phone?

Or do you have to get your Note 4 directly from T-Mobile? (T-Mobile service is quite good in my area).

Thought I would find the answer easily with a google and xda search, but I'm either clue-impaired or it hasn't been addressed (hard to imagine)... or, it's so obvious I'm missing it. Thanks for any help on this.

Cheers!

HELP!! Unlocked Verizon LG G3 to T-Mobile APN Settings?

I purchased an unlocked Verizon LG G3. I am trying to figure out what APN settings to use. I have searched all over and various other threads suggests different settings.
Here are the issues I have in most of the settings I've used: Poor signal, Internet but unable to download MMS, or no internet but text service. I also tried enabling roaming. So what settings do I use??

Here is what I have now:

Name: T-Mobile US LTE
APN: fast.t-mobile.com
Proxy: Not set
Port: Not set
Username: Not Set
Password: Not Set
Server:Not Set
MMSC:Not Set
MMS Proxy:Not set
MCC:310
MNC:260
Authentication Type: Not set
APN Type: not set
APN Protocol:IPv4/IPv6

These settings give me service but I am getting between one to three bars. When I used to get full bars on my t-mobile g2.

Latest T-Mobile Radio Needed

Mods can delete. Got it.

Thanks.

Tmobile Samsung rep

Just waked to Ambleside that the Samsung rep at Tmo on Friday was a righteous guy. Showed me a few things on the phone and hooked me up with some swag. Just a pen and a little strap you can put on the back of your phone to hold it with two fingers... until my wife said we are samsung fans then he ran out and grabbed a few t shirts. They're pretty nice really, black on black samsung label and nice material.

Thanks Samsung bro!

Now I need to find him and tell him to get someone to add custom multiwindow shortcuts back. I had them on my Note 3, wtf? And put smart lock back on the gear manager, ugh. Stop taking away good features.

No LTE on tmobile

Hi everyone,

It's the weirdest thing that this htc m7 has been solid for almost 2 years on the T-Mobile network but about a month ago it suddenly wouldn't connect to LTE. If the radio is set back to GSM only then it will connect and operate on 2g. If switched back to LTE it drops network connection.

Sim was exchanged
In the same location another tmo phone connected without issue to LTE
Traveling its the same issue
Restored to factory

Nothing seems to work
