[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex_tytn:
I don't know the answer to your question but I can confirm that the Galaxy S5 that I received from TMobile was in fact LOCKED.

I called the support # and was told that I had to have service and use it for 40 days before it could be unlocked.

I PAID THE FULL PRICE ($720 with tax)!!!

I asked to speak with a supervisor -- after 10 minutes on hold -- no change.

I told the store that I was going to bring it back because I didn't pay $700 for a locked phone. Everyone has been nice but it's locked for policy issues and not for technical reasons. I flew to Canada when I bought my iPhone4. ;)

And, AT&T is worse -- one guy told me 3 months and tech support said it had to be active for 6 months.

>> So, my AT&T sim card is not working in my SM-G900T model.

It is GSM/LTE unlocked (as are all Verizon LTE devices), but I'm pretty sure it doesn't have T-Mobile's LTE bands (or at the very least it doesn't have all of their bands).
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sshark:
From what I have been reading, on a Verizon phone, calls and data using GSM and WCDMA bands would work. But LTE bands are Verizon specific hence would not work.

Tl; Dr Voice /data using GSM/WCDMA. No LTE.

---------- Post added at 07:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:26 AM ----------

Does this mean, once unlocked, T-Mobile and AT&T versions would work on each other's networks including LTE?

I also noticed that with S5, there aren't GSM carrier specific versions. Meaning they are going IPhone route with making all GSM phones enabled that for that country's LTE bands. Is that right reading?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drworsley:
it is unlocked

I am using the verizon s5 on tmobile. It is unlocked and can be used on tmobile LTE. However there are only set modes. LTE/CDMA GSM/UMTS AND GLOBAL. Which means you can't use lte and gsm at the same time (no lte data and voice calls). I usually keep it on gsm, and when I need speedy data I switch it to lte.

How? If you put a TMobile SIM in the phone, or any other foreign SIM, it boots but receives no service. This is in line with almost all other Verizon branded phones (excluding Apple) -- where the phone works (unlocked) outside the US, but won't roam to ATT/TMo in the US.

Pictures please. For the record, my S5 doesn't register on a network with a TMobile or Australian SIM. The Australian SIM in a Nexus 5 roams to TMobile.

This was probably true about a year ago but the recent releases from Verizon, e.g. iPhone 5/5s and galaxy s4 has been fully unlocked world phones. I'm sure there are a few other phones... I think lg g2? I'm not exactly sure. But I have personally stuck my sim(T-Mobile) into my friend's Verizon phones (s4 and iPhone 5s) and they work right away after a reboot. Only problem might be an edit in APN for data and mms. Just sharing my experience, you should check out your phones again.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cpudan80:
Not trying to be a jerk, but unless you tried this process in the actual phone in question, then you don't really know if it works. The phone DOES NOT just magically work on TMobile if you put a SIM in, you receive NO service. Now, I didn't go mess around with APNs -- typically those are only for MMS/Data. This is also true for several other phones:

Razr HD / Maxx HD

Galaxy S3

In the past, when the phones were SIM locked, a foreign SIM would prompt for an unlock code before the phone even booted into "normal" Android. That's not the case here -- because the phone is not SIM locked -- but I do believe it is network locked to VZW only when in the US.

For the record, I did try this in my S5. I will be going to Australia next week and will try a Telstra (or perhaps Optus) SIM over there to see what happens.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teo032:
Yes, I haven't tried it on the s5, but I was pointing out fact that it does work on recent releases which someone confirmed worked on s5 by just plugging it in. I'm also correcting your statement " This is in line with almost all other Verizon branded phones (excluding Apple) -- where the phone works (unlocked) outside the US, but won't roam to ATT/TMo in the US." because Verizon apple does work in the US on T-Mobile and AT&T beginning from iPhone 5. I believe the 4s was still carrier locked.

I was a wireless agent not to long ago, so I know how these things work, not that it magically just works... I'm just sharing you how some recent releases from Verizon has been world unlocked and a few others have mentioned that they just plugged it in and it worked. So good luck and have fun in Australia.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cpudan80:
OK Thanks.

It is odd that the apple phones -- and some of the Android phones -- are totally unlocked so that you can use them on ATT/TMobile in the US -- but some (like the S5, apparently) are not. I still am interested to know how some of the other users in this thread got their S5s working on TMobile...

I can confirm the Verizon GS5 is compatible with T-Mobiles LTE network I'm using one now with LTE all you have to do is go to settings mobile network and switch to Global mode some times you'll have to toggle LTE then back to global to get LTE to kick in.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trevorcobb:
I am able to successfully use my VZ Galaxy Note 3 and my wife uses her VZ Galaxy S5, both devices on T-mobile Edge, HSPA, HSPA+ (21mbps), and LTE (band 4) frequencies. These devices unfortunately will not do DC-HSPA+ (42mbps), but that's not a big deal for us because LTE coverage is good where we live. We have no issues with making voice calls, or sending SMS/MMS, and don't have to switch APN's or toggle between Global Mode or GSM/UMTS mode. We leave them on Global Mode with the correct APN settings.

Here's the guide I followed for both (with correct APN settings screenshots to accommodate for MMS on page 4 or 5 i believe):

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsweetness:
An AT&T S5 cannot be used on Verizon. Due to Verizon's CDMA network and their policies regarding that network, only Verizon branded phones can be used.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mredthebartender:
so riddle me this batman......Why can't you buy an unlocked Galaxy S5...and then use it on VZW's network. everywhere I read says you can't do this.

first time poster.....long time lurker
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsweetness:
The exact answer to that is in the post of mine that you quoted. ;)

It's because of Verizon's CDMA network. In order for a phone to work on it, Verizon has to have the IMEI (or ESN) in their system. That means Verizon has to approve the device. Unlocked phones that aren't sold by Verizon aren't set up to work on their CDMA network (many of them don't even have a CDMA radio).
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] valenzetti:
Alright, I know I'm bumping an old thread , but I felt like it's worthwhile information to offer.

When Verizon bought the LTE spectrum that it purchased from the FCC in the big auction a few years ago, it made an agreement with the FCC that every LTE-capable phone it released would be quad band factory unlocked. This means that yes, every Verizon 4G LTE phone can just take a T-Mobile SIM. Including the Galaxy S5. All of them, without question.

This does not mean they will instantly have full functionality, but you should at a minimum have instant voice & SMS capability. With some modification, whether through APN settings or through changing network settings as they're built into the phone, you SHOULD be able to activate data connectivity. The only network the Verizon phones can't work on is Sprint, as they function on different CDMA technology.

This does not work in reverse. For example, a factory unlocked iPhone 5S is ONLY unlocked for GSM networks. They do not come equipped for use with CDMA technology. Thus, a Verizon iPhone 5S is actually more valuable than a factory unlocked iPhone 5S in that the Verizon variant can operate on Verizon's CDMA network as well as GSM networks. This is why you can never take a factory unlocked, or AT&T or T-Mobile branded phone to Verizon: they are not equipped to connect to CDMA networks.

Dan(Cpudan80), I can't speak to your experience but I can tell you that I have put a T-Mobile SIM in a Verizon Galaxy S3 as well as multiple DROID variants (Razr, Razr MAXX, MAXX HD, DROID Razr M) and was able to make calls. It does, in fact, just "magically" work.

Verizon S5 Sim Locked

K, so I always thought that the recent Verizon phones were naturally unlocked. I put a T-Mobile Sim in and the dreaded lock screen pops up asking for an unlock code..... Phone works fine o PagePlus but of course that's "V". Any ideas before purchasing an unlock code?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loso352:
Yes it will.

listen carefully.it will work on tmobile lte.just like another post said it will not be able to use gsm and lte at the same time it will be cdma/lte.the newer flagship phones all support a wide range of lte,cdma,gsm bands.i have been using my verizon lg g2 on metropcs lte for more than a year.in case you dont know metropcs lte is t-mobile lte.it is gsm.jeez
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XeoNoX:
Verizon S5 is SIM LOCKED if bought straight from verizon HOWEVER you can get it SIM unlocked or buy a SIM unlocked one.

Once SIM unlocked YES it will work with TMOBILE but it will be limited. You will be able to make calls and use the internet....HOWEVER you will have limited Service as the physical hardware lacks some BANDS/FREQUENCIES such as LTE. The phone is still very much usable as a "everyday" driver on tmobile network despite not having all the bands. In other words in some places where some people get great internet you may get slower internet because it doesnt supports the faster band. If you are getting the phone at a great discount its usually worrth it...if you are getting it at close to the same price as the TMO version then you are better off finding and purchasing a tmobile phone.

DON'T Update to Loli! (5.0) if you want to root!

Im on TMobile, found SGH-G300V in the garbage (busted digitizer). Still waiting for them to come down in price. Verizon phones used to have a MEID for the CDMA, and an IMEI for the 4G-LTE. I thought this was always the case, but see no MEID, just an IMEI. As far as unlocking goes, if you're familiar with rooting (don't do it if you're not a nerd - you can do anything including installing viruses and frying / bricking the phone). Chainfire makes an app 'RegionLockAway' that unlocked my S4 to the point I can't even enter the unlock code even if I flash stock bootloader. Now on the S5, DON'T update to 5.0 LoLi. From what I hear, Verizon doesn't respect the 'laws of Chickasaw county' - "I can choose to do... with MY PROPERTY... whatever I so desire". No offense intended, as I'm talking only in the realm of electronics. LoL. If you still have 4.4.4 KitKat, leave it and look up root (need to root to use RegionLockAway). If you do root, I highly recommend upgrading to Chain fire SuperSU pro, it makes you enter a PIN that you set up whenever something requests root - god forbid a virus gets root. If anyone has any other info on the G900V, I'd like to hear it. Digitizer is shattered, deciding if I should slap a new one on it, root it, unlock it and use on T-MOBILE. Could sell it, if anyone wants one, let me know (needs digitizer - ordered battery). I have RegionLockAway, but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post it here. Google it, let me know if you're successful using VZ phone with GSM.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] crookone10:
Mine feel pretty snug but I'm not using the stock Samsung headphones. I think some of the issues were having like speaker quality and such has to do with the waterproofing of the device. Not sure how that would affect auxiliary jack though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] edditnyc:
I ran with mine in a pouch and the jack is easily loosened. I probably should get an arm strap for it but my m7 didn't have this problem at all. Perhaps it is not as snug as it should be.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MattMJB0188:
My S5 was deemed defective by Samsung themselves. I took it to Best Buy today with the pair of headphones that would fall out. They tried the demo models and it was snug as a bug. Then some guy has a new S5 and they even tried my headphones in his. Very snug. They said to take it back to AT&T. AT&T took it back then took off my unlimited data plan lol. I've about it had it with AT&T and their locked down phones.

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wakoko79:
Hi,

I've experienced this 3 times as of now. My phone is always on stamina mode. with a stock, rooted and locked bootloader 4.3 [.266] rom.

I got the triple nandroid back ups (i think they are CWM, TWRP, TWRP touch, but can't tell for sure).

Whenever my phone got drained because i can't find a place to charge it, I can't charge it afterwards.

Even if I leave it in the charger for a day, it still won't charge.

What I get is a red LED light. I tried everything, and somehow, after doing all of the thing for about 2 days, it gets working again. I just want to know if there is a tested solution to this. Here are the scenarios:

1.)

>> battery drained (unit turned off)

>> use wall charger to charge it

>> turns on, but in constant boot loop (with the moving colors boot animation on the screen)

>> take it off the charger

>> reset if with the reset button on the back

>> WON'T go in boot loop, but instead, I get a blank screen with the red LED light of death

2.)

>> battery drained (unit turned off)

>> use wall charger to charge it

>> screen is blank, with red LED light of death

Some insights:

Mind you, I tried everything I could think of just to get into recovery mode (hold button volume up/down or camera, with or without power button), since when I'm in recovery mode, I can leave it there and it WILL charge.

I tried to connect it to the PC to know if there are any difference, I open FLASHTOOL so i can see what is happening.

>> upon connecting to the usb, the device is detected. LED turns on. LED light is red (bright)

>> after half a second, the device is disconnected. Simultaneously, the LED turns off for a split second and turns back on with a red LED light (dimmer than before)

I tried to leave it for hours on charger while RLLOD(red LED light of death). So normally, the battery should be full right? WRONG!!

>> after pulling the device off the charger, THE RLLOD PERSISTS!!! I wait for about 10 minutes or more so that the device will turn fully of (no RLLOD). So it gives me the impression that the battery is not charged AT ALL.

>> using the reset button on the back (hold it down for more than a minute) DOESN'T do anything (when RLLOD is up and device is pulled out of charger). it should turn off but it doesn't. ,,|,,

>> so in the end, I have to waint until RLLOD dies down.

The xperia sp, when fully drained and won't even go in the starting boot sequence. If you try to turn it on (by using power button), it will just give you 2 quick RED LED pulses, and nothing will happen. Here is a curious case when charging it with PC:

>> When pulled out from charger (in RLLOD), and after waiting for the RLLOD to die down, flashtool (or the PC itself) won't detect the device if connected IF you didn't try to turn it on (of curse the 2 red pulses will happen) PRIOR to connecting it to PC (so: disconnect > try to turn on > reconnect to PC).

There might be things I forgot to include, please ask for more details, I just really want this to go away.:crying::crying:
