[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Product F(RED):
- AT&T LTE devices can do AT&T LTE and T-Mobile LTE (700/AWS aka B4/B17)

- T-Mobile LTE devices can do AT&T and T-Mobile LTE (700/AWS aka B4/B17)

- Verizon LTE devices can do Verizon LTE and T-Mobile LTE (750/AWS). They can also do AT&T LTE IF you happen to live in one of their AWS areas, which you do.

The mystery has been solved: Your Verizon S4 gets T-Mobile LTE because it's supported out of the box (AWS), and AT&T LTE because you happen to be in an area where they're using AWS also. Your T-Mobile Note 3 supports the same LTE frequencies as the AT&T Note 3, so that's why it gets both Band 4 and Band 17 (700 MHz). Overall, I wouldn't recommend buying a Verizon S4 to use on AT&T unless you're in an area where you know they use AWS.

700 MHz has range and penetration, but AWS (1700/2100 MHz together) has capacity and speed (because you're using two different frequencies together, but they're high frequencies so they don't penetrate well). Originally, AWS for AT&T was meant to just be an alternative for areas where they didn't have a license to operate on 700 MHz. Verizon is using it in high capacity areas (e.g. NYC/Chicago/etc) not as an alternative, but to supplement their overloaded LTE network (Verizon LTE has gotten slower if you've noticed, unless you're on AWS). T-Mobile uses only AWS, but they're going to start using 700 MHz Lower Block A, which is the lowest frequency used out of any of the carriers (no devices support it yet though).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Samstealth7:
A+ info buddy thank you so much.

I was just now reading online about all of the different LTE frequencies/bands, upper and lower block, and which carriers use them.

Thanks again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] equake:
To add more confusion to the conversation I use a VZW LG G2 on AT&T and it works fine on LTE too. I've flashed CM11 nightly which is somewhat stable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Product F(RED):
AT&T's just rolling out AWS LTE in more areas of the country to beat congestion. Here's an article that explains it (not super-techy jargon): http://gigaom.com/2014/01/07/att-is-bulking-up-capacity-on-its-lte-network-with-spectrum-buy/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dcg915:
Just a fyi here: after I updated to MJ7 and it didnt work, i went ahead and took MK2 no change. H+ is best i can get here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Product F(RED):
You're not in an area where AT&T is using AWS LTE then (which are relatively few areas). I'm assuming you're on AT&T. The OP is a special case.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Samstealth7:
This man knows his $#!+ lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Samstealth7:
Here we go again lol,

I suspect you live in an area that uses a Aws LTE as well,

that's the conclusion we came up With in my situation.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Samstealth7:
Aww I see you beat me to it lol.

Thanks for the link
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AspenSTi:
Thank you for this thread, made my decision to go with T-Mobile now. Next question is what ROM do you flash? (Verizon s4 that will be on tmobile service)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Product F(RED):
I'm not sure if you can run a T-Mobile ROM on your Verizon S4 but that's what I'm doing on my AT&T S4. I now have Wi-fi Calling (also texts and MMS work over Wi-fi).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AspenSTi:
Sounds like I'll have to try it and find out. Worse case scenario restore a nandroid right? Should be switching this weekend hopefully.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Product F(RED):
Yeah. Just don't flash any modems aside the ones for your phone (or keep yours as it is if you have AWS working).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AspenSTi:
Just an update, tried flashing a tmo ROM and it didn't work. Restored and all is good. So using Verizon ROMs with T-Mobile service works great, lte and all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cmlucht:
I was having network issues with stock vzw and tmobile data kept shutting off so I installed hyperdrive and works perfect.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AspenSTi:
Which hyperdrive did you use? The vzw or tmo version? Luckily I'm still on mdk so I tried a GE ROM from the tmo section.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cmlucht:
Hyperdrive14 now 15

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] B767:
Thank you for answer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dhaddad12:
Ok, so i did a lot of digging around and I just need one simple answer please.

I will be picking up a Verizon galaxy S4 from someone (Trading my ATT iphone 4s for it) so dont reply by saying "Get an ATT S4"

Will I be able to receive LTE on this Verizon S4 using ATT network? If yes, do i need to root? Should i update it to 4.3 if it is not updated yet? I am aware that I need to go into the settings and change the setting to GSM or something like that.

Any help is appreciated.

(Please refrain from going on and on about the types of bands Verizon uses compared to ATT, I am aware, but i also know that it depends on your area if you can acess LTE AWS)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] B767:
Please read topic carefully. ATT not compatible with Verizon band and LTE works only in places where ATT has AWS which is very for now very limited and have in few places. You can wait when ATT change there band, but who knows when it happen? Here is answer to your question http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51224705&postcount=53
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Product F(RED):
AT&T is not changing to AWS. They're still using 700 MHz as their main band. They only use AWS in areas that are highly congested or where they cannot roll out 700 MHz.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mystique:
I walked into at&t and purchased a pre paid sim. Configured for HSPA+, (apn) and got H and H+..

What does that mean in terms of 1X, 3G and LTE?

From my friend Google.. It seems to be 3G and 3.5G..

Is that right?

Is there a potential anything better?

Thanks in advanced.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Product F(RED):
EDGE = 1x (but faster)

HSPA/H+ = 3G/3.5G (carriers call this 4G)

LTE = 4G LTE (which you won't get on AT&T with a Verizon phone unless you're in one of their super rare AWS areas)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mystique:
Thank you sir.

After much searching l found two links that helped me.

http://www.askingbox.com/question/mobile-phone-shows-3g-h-h-e-and-g-in-the-bar-what-does-this-mean

tldr - there is a table at the bottom of the posted link, which seems very clear, and an equally clear (although different representation) through the top link.

Again, thank you for your attention and response.

This is crazy! I just put my spare t-mobile sim card into my Verizon S4 and put in the correct APN settings and it picked up 4G LTE immediately. I only got edge speed on my S3, but that's correct, since that's all the bands that the S3 has.

Amazing.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raecer:
I would like to place myself between the accelerometer data and other apps taking readings in order to send fake readings to those apps. Either that or implement my own software based accelerometer instead. (or another solution if you know of one)

Would i have to do this at kernel-level? There is not much documentation available that i can find. Please point me in the right direction.

Im very new to manipulating the android system, but i am willing to put some time into this. Thank you.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a1291762:
I have a RAZR i with the standard UK 4.1.2 ROM. Sometimes I've had low memory problems or periods where the battery runs down unexpectedly. I recently started experiencing severe memory shortage after running with data disabled and poked around a bit. What I discovered was a large number of app_process instances taking 8M each.

From what I can tell, I should not see these. Android runs this process but it loads Java code into itself and changes personality. So while there's plenty of app_process instances running, they don't show up as such when you do a ps.

I found this out the hard way running killall app_process :/

But I can use this to kill off any of these "zombie" app_process instances: ps | grep app_process | busybox awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill

Running with data disabled seems to make these happen fairly reliably. Made me suspect something was being spawned to look for something on the network but failed due to a lack of data and then... got stuck instead of exiting?

I've disabled a few things on this ROM before. I think ModemStats or similar was a problem once before (chewing up CPU).

Has anyone seen this?

Is there something I can capture that would help diagnose the cause (I've heard of a logcat? maybe ps output?).
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5m00v3:
sure, setup ADB and plug your device with a micro-usb cable on pc. Now you can logcat and also grep your favorit process.

Did you try limiting your backgroundprocesses under Developer-Options > backgroundprocess-limit ?

I use all the time a limit of 4 processes and have no memory problems :) (fyi: it will fall back to standard-setting after reboot)
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marco Lomas:
Use the app Greenify to hibernate the apps you dont use daily :)

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a1291762:
So... Greenify and limiting background "apps" can't help here because app_process isn't an app, it's a system process.

And it seems logcat isn't very useful when run after-the-fact? Oh it seems you can't run it except as root from Android 4.1 onwards. I've now got catlog recording so maybe next time I'll get something useful - assuming my SD card doesn't fill up first.

And of course now that I'm trying to _look_ at the problem, it's happening less frequently >:|
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marco Lomas:
Amm app process are services, with the greenify app kills the services.....

If you havent root, well, remove the task on recent app list, force detention of the apps manually, and so on :)

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a1291762:
Please don't spread misinformation. app_process is a system process. It is not even visible at the Android layer. Every app starts as an app_process instance. Greenify cannot even see it, let alone control it.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a1291762:
The good news is I have a logcat. The bad news is it's a 37Mb file and both the system ui and logcat app died due to lack of memory. I have second logcat fr when I noticed but the end of the first one if probably more useful. Having trouble reading the file on my phone. Will investigate more when I get home tonight.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a1291762:
I also got a log after I noticed my phone was bad. It shows the last showmap error.

03-22 16:25:33.300 D/su (8732): su invoked.
03-22 16:25:33.300 D/su (8732): Allowing shell.

03-22 16:25:33.300 E/su (8732): exec failed with 2: No such file or directory

And then, bug2go either gives up or finishes.

03-22 16:26:16.850 I/dumpstate(6054): done
03-22 16:26:16.850 I/bug2go-bugreport(6037): Dropping from root user to log user

So that at least explains why the phone doesn't ground to a permanent halt and why I can kill off these processes and have the phone continue to work.

Aha! It's actually dumpstate that causes the bug. It's run by bug2go but also by 'adb bugreport'. It tries to run showmap on... each running process? But since I don't have that binary, it leaves behind all the app_process instances. I ran 'adb bugreport' just now and it caused my phone to reboot!

So removing the bug2go binaries should stop this from being a problem but I'm kind of stumped as to why I have 'dumpstate' but not 'showmap' on my phone...

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s.illes79:
it's driving we mad, sometime when I try to scroll chrome starts to zoom instead.:confused:

anyone getting this behavior ?
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikegrmn:
I sometimes experience something similar in ezPDF reader. I zoom around in a document, and once it is in zooming mode, I can zoom with one finger. Maybe this is related.

Meaning, if you just zoomed around, take a quick stop before scrolling. Maybe this works.

I'm not sure, can one activate zooming by double tapping? This would explain a bit more.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s.illes79:
interesting, looks like double tapping activates zoom and looks like sometimes zoom is registered as double tapping ...
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikegrmn:
I've got to try this once I get home from work. Curious if this is a feature instead of a bug ;)

Just did a quick search in google and found multiple results stating the following for chrom (beta?):

To perform a one-hand zoom simply double tap and, after the second tap, leave your finger pressed. You can then move your finger up and down to zoom in an out.

So it's a feature.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s.illes79:
very annoying feature if u ask me ... :)
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikegrmn:
Well, it depends. I tried yesterday night. I zoomed into web pages one fingered (on purpose), and I must say, it has something going for it. Gotta see if I like this feature on a daily basis.

Certainly, if you know about it and use it on purpose it's at least much better than stumbling over it thinking it could be a bug :)

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Can't help with the random force closes, but the can't load error resolves itself when the Streak is shut off.

One thing that will help is to not have a lot of widgets running, as they suck up RAM, and lack of RAM could be the source of the random force closes.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andronomer:
Every time it force close, the only thing I did is shut down. but it still FC after running normal about for an hour.

and force close came after my streak idle for a while.

Then, I uninstalled battery widget. It still happen.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aaryana:

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I've never tried MIUI, mostly because the screen is locked in portrait. But, if all else fails, go to a different ROM. But also keep in mind that in going from one ROM to another you often have to do both the Dell factory reset and the Streakmod factory reset before the device will function properly. When you installed MIUI, did you do this?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andronomer:
As I recall I only did Dell factory reset, may be that the problem, but somehow it run fine for 3 or 4 months
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
If you only did one and not the other, that is likely the source of your problems. Even though it appeared to work fine, in time something will mess up and you'll be where you currently are: having to do both factory resets and restoring everything.
