Nice! I forgot to add that you have to choose the APN from the APN list, will add that to OP. Thanks!

Does anyone know if this method would allow putting my Verizon S3 on US Cellular ? My girlfriend wants one and I may go to a different phone so I'm wondering if this method would work for me or not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PVLMTREE:
All you would need to do is get a US Cellular APN,

---------- Post added at 06:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 PM ----------

I'm not sure, but I do not think this will work with CM10 or AOKP, due to that they don't have the Global Function even with the Phone Info app.

If someone has a fix for this, please tell! Thanks ;D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] con247:
You can only use US Cellular phones on their network if I am not mistaken. The CDMA networks (sprint,verizon,us cell) don't allow eachother's phones on their networks.

That's an OLD article from June. It fell through a while ago. That's why T-Mobile is merging with metropcs to get some LTE love/spectrum.

Fair enough I googled it real quick while the coworker I was with was grabbing breakfast. So here you go. Also why do you say it feel through? I haven't really researched it much, but seems in progress to me.

Do we know if the Verizon s3 even support 1900mhz hspa?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rav3nous:
Also something just came to me. T mobile sports both 1700mhz and 2100mhz for theyre 3g wcdma service (1700mhz uplink and 2100mhz downlink) as it's stated that the sghi535 supports 2100mhz gsm wcdma, shouldn't we be able to attach to T-Mobile 3g network for downlink and only edge for uplink?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CB620:
Any updates on this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MustangFTW:
Process is pretty easy for ICS vzw s3, flash stock JB image (haven't tried just updating yet), root, make APN manager pro a system app using titanium backup pro, insert preferred apns, change mobile network to global, enjoy data, MMS, calls etc on any gsm network.

If you updated to JB, you just need to root and do the same process. Rooting is kind of a hassle on JB, you need to flash a bunch of different bootloader/boot chains.

And no, you can't just change to global mode, voice and text will work but data and MMS won't.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Powers88:
Sorry to ask what might be a dumb question but im considering buying a used S3 that is for Verizon but I would be using it on Tmo. Just want to clarify you only get Edge right? Not 3g/HSPA

there might be something to that.. i read somewhere that the gsm network was racist and was denying white S3's. this is why i keep a blue case on mine as it will be able to blend in and go un-noticed by the gsm bigots.

My friend's Verizon Note 2, unlocked for T-Mobile gets H at times...dunno why or if it's H+ or not. His service is Verizon and only tried my TMO sim for a day (we were testing) and he said he got H, which was a heck of a lot better than E he said...I would assume the same would be true for the GS3. I'll be testing this tomorrow, but dunno if I can do a whole day run around and see the full results.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Tracerlx:
I have it right now with JB and I only get EDGE. This is on a custom rom and not Stock JB.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MustangFTW:
Right now tmobiles frequencies dont allow it to get any faster then an edge connection on VZW phones, at least for most of the US, I believe there are a couple cities that have better coverage and might get you a 3g (4g?) connection. I do know that when i unlock droid bionics it shows that im getting 3g.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Tracerlx:
I am willing to test in any way. Right now my signal is just bad in general with everything. Would a tmobile s3 improve signal(the amount of bars)?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MustangFTW:
i would test it with a friends tmobile s3 before committing all the way and buying one. I do quite a few verizon S3 unlocks since i work at a cellphone shop, and they always get full bars, do you live in an odd place? Id check with tmobile to see if they have bad service in your location.

as an after thought, if youre running a custom rom, id check which radio you have flashed, and make sure its the right one, on my galaxy Nexus i had low bars and even losing signal all together because the rom came with a bad radio for T-Mobile.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Tracerlx:
I did a test with another phone and can confirm this, my apartment sucks. i want to test a tmobile radio on this verizon phone but bads things could happen
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] smashcz:
would this work for S3 US Cellular version?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SilverTigre2010:
I'm usually in DC/Baltimore metro areas where the signal is not bad and it must be something with the radio/baseband on the S3 because I have unlock a couple iPhone 4s and 5 using T-mobile chips and they do get 3G speeds(1.5Mbs-3Mbs). I have use Net10 and StraightTalk and same thing happen only gets Edge which is not bad for internet browsing but awful for video viewing.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] qzmpal:
Since now T-Mobile is refarming their Network throughout the US for their LTE Networks, some big cities might have got the 3G or 4G on the 1900 Frequencies.

Then if that is the case, then it might be possible. But once again the Bands and the Radios in the SCH-I535 are incompatible I Guess, I don't know.

But, I will update more on this.

I DID NOT READ THIS THREAD EARLIER. BUT I DID EVERYTHING THAT IS STATED IN THE THREAD. I HAVE A UNLIMITED VERIZON DATA PLAN. SO WHAT I DID WAS, I DID A COMPLETE FACTORY RESET AND DOWNLOADED THE OTA FROM VERIZON DIRECTLY.

Working but EDGE only

If you have 4.1.2 and greater version you can directly switch to GSM in mobile network settings and it's all good to go, I did switch from VWZ to T-Mobile today and its all good to go and regarding Data its only Edge (check the OP post for APN Settings).. I'm still trying to get 3G atleast will post here if I did.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] D_roid_noobie:
I have a Verizon Samsung SCH-i535 (Stock, Rooted) and working on NET10.

I get only Edge without WiFi.

Due to the terms of their LTE spectrum, all Verizon LTE phones must be SIM unlocked.

What we need is to unlock the SIM.

Verizon will not give the code to unlock their phones.

I have not found any post on any site that can do this.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flipinfin:
Not tryn to be rude but your biting your own words. You wouldn't be able to use sim if your phone wasn't unlocked. Since the 4.12 update came out it unlocked sim for global use
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] D_roid_noobie:
I'm aware of the fact that the Galaxy S3 is "unlocked". Thank you.

I think I worded my post wrong.

I have a Verizon Samsung SCH-i535 S3 that is rooted and working on a NET10 SIM.

I meant to say that with my BYOP to NET10 gives me only EDGE, and not 3G or 4G.

So, is there any way to get more than EDGE from this phone?

Thanks again.

I have the same issue lol seems like you cant because you need wcdma 1900 for band that gives it 3g obviously this hardware dont support that frequency which is stupid. Though ive been reading go to straight talk or net10 bring your own cdma phone its supports 4glte so i guess were in luck. cuz straight talk is the **** lol talk to a rep yesterday and if your phones verizon it runs on verizon towers same for sprint it will run on sprint towers but their ****ty.

This process seems to have been simplified with 4.3 (or maybe even 4.1.2) update. My d2vzw was stock 4.3 and rooted. I put the T-mobile sim in and was able to change the APN right from the mobile networks menu settings. I still have APN manager pro installed as a system app if needed.

Just waiting for Tmo to transfer my number over and will go from there. I was interested in the Net10 BYOP cdma program, but couldn't find much on how to do it.

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] phayz:
I have been using this ROM for about 1 week now and I really like it. In ICS and JB ROMS I have tried on my Galaxy Gio I have found that WiFi is slow to connect and sometimes failed to do so, also I sometimes got reboots and applications failing to start. I didn't know quite what AOSP was until this ROM became available and now I am a big fan. I do miss one or two features from ICS/JB and AOKP but what I lose in features I gain in stability.

I also wanted to mention that in the following thread is a flashable Zip described as a Value Pack. It contains some additional launchers, including: Apex, TouchWiz 5 (?) and LG. Before doing so though, you need to know that (a) this is not supported by the Oxygen ROM developers, (b) after I flashed this I got a message that my SD card was corrupt, but after a reboot this message no longer appeared, (c) there is no guarantee that these launchers will remain compatible as Oxygen ROM continues to be upgraded.

a small note; oxygen isnt AOSP.

launchers are launchers, shouldnt make a difference between oxygen versions
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] phayz:
Oh. I thought that after searching the XDA forums I was able to confirm that it is AOSP. This is just one thread which mentions OXygen ROM and states that i's AOSP:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1833218. I know that this ROM is not for the Galaxy Gio S5660 but the description of the ROM's features seems to match what I get on my phone.

I mentioned the extra launchers available so that others who may be using this ROM know that they are available.

Voetbalremco, I don't doubt what you have said. I just want to explain why I thought this was AOSP. I'm happy to be corrected, because then I'll know the full story.

Regardless of *what* it is, though, it's stopped me from switching ROMs every day for more than a week. :D

[LG Optimus 4X HD] Ben-B:
Ever since my 4x HD was new I've noticed a problem, but it's getting so annoying now I finally thought I should do something about it, and I've contacted LG with a view to sending it off for repair:

When I remove the phone from my ear the proximity sensor usually fails to wake the screen back up, meaning I have no controls to end the call with. Occasionally swiping my finger over the sensors at the top of the screen wake it up, but mostly it takes several attempts, and presses of the screen lock button.

SO annoying when you are leaving someone a voicemail and it's still recording, all they hear at the end of the message is the muffled swipe of a finger and me muttering and swearing at the phone as it carries on recording for another 30 seconds or so!!

Anyone else have this issue??
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
Mine doesn't awake in the end of calls too... but I thought it was normal :confused:

We have an option where we can use "Power button" to turn off calls...

I didn't knew that the proximity sensor was suppose to wake up the disply... :mad:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Ben-B:
Hi Rudeas,

Glad it's not just me!

Where is the option to use the power button to end calls?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
Settings/Accessibility/Power button ends call :good:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] liao5858yuan:
you can set power cut a call
[LG Optimus 4X HD] SimonTS:
Maybe a really daft question, but I presume you haven't put a screen protector on that covers the sensor? Stone of the cheap protectors do and that would stop it working properly.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Ben-B:
Good thinking, but no, I don't have a.screen protector or anything over It.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] italianquadcore:
To test and eventually to calibrate the proximity sensor, you can use hidden menu (dial 3845#*880#) -> Device Test -> All Auto Test Menu Full -> ALC / Proximity Test.

You can even test the "auto brightness mode" (to test also the light sensor) and "enable proximity wakeLock" (to simulate a call).

To test the sensor just put a finger near the sensor.

There is also a "Calibration" feature to calibrate the sensor if needed.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Ben-B:
Wow italianquadcore! That is amazing! Firstly I could see by putting my finger over the sensor how poorly it was working. Often it wouldn't notice I had taken my finger away- then I pressed calibrate, and now it notices instantly, every time!!

Thanks loads, I'm assuming it's fixed now!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] theofficialpimp:
Italianquadcore is a lifesaver, right?

[LG Optimus 4X HD] pparmar80:

Thanx a lot, yah it was a screen protector giving trouble to sensor.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Raux:
Hi everyone.

I've just bought myself P880 as well. But had the same problem as author. However, the fix to calibrate via hidden menu didn't help at all. My sensor doesn't react at all, however, when I am using a hardware test it shows sensor is present.

Do you think there is something wrong with sensor itself, or there might be some android might have failed to initialize driver?

Thanks in advance!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Ben-B:
Mine wasn't fixed by the calibration for long. It soon got worse again, I actually damaged my headphone socket (using a really big headphone plug through an 3.5mm adapter, then accidentally knocking it) and ended up buying a new part from etradesupply.com for about £17. The headphone socket is the same component that contains the proximity sensor, so replacing that fixed it.

I had phoned LG, but as I had bought my p880 from german amazon they said they wouldn't have covered me even if it had been a warranty problem (So much for Europe being somehow unified!) so I had to risk taking my phone apart myself!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] rellagher:

[LG Optimus 4X HD] Ben-B:
This problem is back again on my phone and it's making want to get rid of the phone!

Perhaps I need to buy another new sensor?

The most annoying thing is having to 'press 1 for...' and I can't get the keypad to pop up because the screen is black! Or leaving someone a voicemail then they get a minute or two of me fumbling swiping my finger over the sensor again and again trying to get the damn screen to come back to life for more than a second! AArrggghh!

I'm guessing it's a hardware issue again- calibration fails when I try
[LG Optimus 4X HD] theofficialpimp:
I had the same problem but then I figured that it was the glass holding the proximity sensor in place is not sticking tight to the phone. So when ur in I call and can't turn the screen on, just hold down on the glass area near the sensor. (don't cover the sensor though )
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Ben-B:
Hmmm that did seem to help! I keep meaning to open my phone back up (I've got blotches under my screen to clean off) when I do I'll have a look at perhaps shimming something in behind it.
