Has anyone used Verizon note 4 with TMobile sim overseas? I am planning on traveling to Asia in March and wanted to take my phone with Tmobile sim so i can use the data on the account internationally.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Tekka:
My Verizon Note 4 gets both LTE and HSPA in Downtown Los Angeles but there are a couple of dead spots. I kinda regret and wished I spent another $100 on the T-Mobile version as I get a lot of these dead spots often when I drive around Socal. One example is in the Staple Center or Regal theather, I have no signal whatsoever indoors at places like this while my old Note 2 had no such probs. I hope theres a way to unlock more antennas once root comes.

VoLTE?

Hi guys, is there a way around of enabling VoLTE feature on Verizon note 4 cause every time i make a call or anything data drops from 4G LTE to 3G and sometimes to E.. any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] stevenj05:
Settings>applications>call>voice mail settings. Enter that info there and should work. Took me forever to find it
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mdanish4:
data stops when calling.

Hi, man I have Verizon note 4 and using with tmob. I am getting LTE but every time I call or I get a call my data stops working is there any work around for this? Any help will greatly appreciated.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mdanish4:
hi, do you happen to have data problems when receiving calls? like if you receive a call your data goes blank? i am having a problem anytime i make or receive a call my data stops working..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] dinhnghia101:
I can NOT use T-Mobile sim card in my Verizon Note 4. I tried to set APN in many ways but it still not work. Need help :(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] brianburen:
Make sure your in a TMOBILE coverage area.

Put your phone in GSM/UTMS mode.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] dinhnghia101:
I did. It can search Tmobile network but it can not register to use Tmobile. I tried many ways. My phone was reported stolen by Verizon. No one can help me. I am so sad now :(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] l am Groot:
I'm having the same issues as you. Looking around forums and other sites but still can't find a solution. Will update and post for fix once found. Goodluck!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mdanish4:
I had this issue and fixed it by turning my noise reduction off and changing the DTMF tone's length to long. Good Luck
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] l am Groot:
Big Thanks mdanish4! Applied changes and now it works flawlessly :good::good:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] kuwalu216:
Where in the settings do I apply those settings?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] l am Groot:
On Home Screen, tap the Phone icon to bring up keypad. Now tap the 3 little squares (menu options) below Contacts tab on the upper right corner . Go to Settings and select 'Call'. Next, Scroll to bottom and select DTFM tones and change to Long. Finally, un-check box for Noise reduction. :highfive:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] bsweetness:
That's why it won't work.

Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T, and Sprint all share a universal black list for stolen devices now. You won't get it working unless Verizon removes it from the black list.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] shpotik:
Well...it was reported stolen for a reason
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] madvj:
Has anyone used vzw note 4 with t mobile sim internationally now that Tmobile allows data overseas? I am travelling to Asia in march and would like to use this.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] l am Groot:
You may want to contact Tmobile and ask what part of Asia has coverage. I've used my phone (vzw note 4 w/ tmobile sim) in Guam. Now considering I have the un-limited 4G Plan, I was getting un-limited 2G internationally with no issues.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] madvj:
Thanks for the info. I checked on their website to see the coverage and they cover all the countries i am visiting.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] bsweetness:
Of course. And that would need to be rectified before Verizon will remove it from the black list. I was just letting dinhnghia101 know why a phone that's been reported as stolen by Verizon won't work on T-Mobile.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] dinhnghia101:
What should i do now? I contact with Samsung and Verizon but they can not do anything :( Now my note 4 is like a iPod T_T I am trying to root it to change IMEI :(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] bsweetness:
There's nothing you can do. Neither Verizon nor Samsung will help you. This is what happens when you own a stolen device. It doesn't matter if you knew it was stolen when you got it or not. In order to be removed from the blacklist, the person who reported it stolen will have to tell Verizon that it's no longer stolen. That's not likely to happen unless that person gets the phone back. You're stuck. You'll just have to consider it an expensive lesson - Never buy a stolen phone. In order to avoid that, always buy from reputable sources.

And any talk about changing the IMEI is not allowed around here. Discussing that will get you in trouble with the mods quickly.

Can i do tmobile prepaid and use my verizon note 4?

I'm currently 2 lines with unlimited verizon data but I'm thinking about switching to tmobiles new 2 lines for $100 unlimited everything deal. I just would really like to test it on using my note 4 before I jump ship
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] patt2k:
it will work fine. WHen you put in t-mobile sim card it will show you non-verizon simcard but it will work just fine even with LTE.

If you want to get rid of that messege simply pm block setup wizard and you will never see it again.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] yamaha_wins:
If the Verizon note 4 gets root will the wifi tether then be a option if being used on tmobile?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] patt2k:
Tried FoxFi?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] yamaha_wins:
I have wifi tether working on my verizon network, I was meaning if I moved to tmobile and kept using my verizon note 4
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jbeitel:
How so?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] yamaha_wins:
Not sure of what your asking. But I currently use foxfi app
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] dannylee2078:
grrr

I'm pretty sure I did everything correct as far as getting 4glte on tmobile with this verizon ntoe 4 but does anyone know how to fix the issue as far as using the dial pad during phone calls?

For example, if i'm on a call with a company for customer service and an automated message plays and asks me to input a number from my dial pad to choose an option as far as where i need to go on that phone call.

When i do enter in any number on the dial pad, nothing happens..

Please does anyone know how to fix this issue?

Guys, Can we install non verizon ROM on verizon Note 4?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] con100:
I might be switching to T-Mobile soon and they have Wi-Fi calling right? Does the Verizon Note 4 work with that or do you need a T-Mobile phone? Also what about software updates?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] dogredwing1:
Is anybody else have signal drops when switching between hspa+ and 4g?

Sent from my SM-N910V
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tengtengvn:
Wifi calling is a very deep software integration.

I finally traded the verizon note 4 for the tmo note 4.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] hazedabeast:
Any way to do tethering?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] siskutis:
How can i update N910v to 5.0 with Tmobile sim card?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tengtengvn:
It hasn't showed up on Kies and Verizon software upgrade yet. Maybe soon...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] camilosilvac:
dont you know when? or how many we have to wait? :(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] siskutis:
Probably forever
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] siskutis:
Just update Lollipop on Kies3
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Colluphid42:
So, I had the VZ Note 4 working with my T-Mobile SIM card, but after 5.0 it won't connect. I did a factory reset after the update as well. APNs look right. Any ideas what it could be?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] kev510:
Colluphid42, did you ever get it to work again? My verizon n4 is not working on T-Mobile after the 5.0 update, just like yours.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tengtengvn:
My Note 4 is working fine on tmo after Lollipop update.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] key5000:
You need to set the APN again after Lollipop update as PAN was deleted during the upgrade.

For any user that use Verizon note 4 with another carrier SIM like Tmobile, Cricket or AT&T, OTA will not work. To update, all you need to do is put N4 to developer mode then plug USB cable to your N4 and to computer. The computer will open another CD drive with name "Verizon mobile". Open it up and run Upgrade Assistance then follow the instructions to complete the update ( taking around 10-15 mins to completed.)

I just did this yesterday and it all good.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] kurpaige:
My Note is working and receiving LTE but I can't send picture messages. I can receive them but not send them. APN looks correct as I checked , vs . and spelling and all. Anyone come across this before?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] bijju:
Hi guyz, I got Verizon note 4 from my friend today hoping to use on t-mobile. He did updated the phone from kitkat to lollipop when he has service with Verizon. When I put in the t mobile sim, it says "searching for service" . I even went to t-mobile store, but they are seeing same message with new sim card..

what should I do now.

---------- Post added at 01:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 AM ----------

did you got it to working , if yes how?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Colluphid42:
I did not. I have no idea why some people are having this problem. Mine was not registered on an active Verizon account after the update/reset. So maybe it had something to do with Verizon's activation junk getting in the way. I ended up selling it on Swappa to a Verizon customer (for whom it works fine) and using the money to buy the T-Mobile Note 4.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] oohoy:
anyone loses data/signals rite after each phone call ends ? data/signals does come back after few seconds, or in some cases, takes a reboot to get signals back.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] fish.rar:
I'm having the same issue getting t-mobile to work. I even downgraded to kitkat but I'm still not getting service. I was thinking about getting a new sim but it sounds like that might not work either.:crying:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] famx_remote:
VERIZON voice alert message drives me crazy....

Does anybody know how to uninstall, disable or remove Verizon voice message icon and pop indicator. When I switched from Verizon to T-Mobile there were few messages which I never deleted now every time I make call or end a call Verizon voice message indicator appears and tells me I have voice messages. Thank you very much to whoever knows how to get this fixed. I tried to kill process, clear cache before I killed process but then every time I make a call, end a call or restart the phone this pop indicator comes back. How can this be that I am no longer with Verizon yet these messages indicator keeps reappearing.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] bond32:
Worth a shot, but you might try the debloater tool here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=58307436

Might try freezing the voicemail app.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] magikalbum:
Same issue here

Same issue here I keep having the signal change erratically between h, h+, and 3g

Did U ever get it to work
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tonytranmobile:
I have a verizon note 4 on mobile network working on lollipop. HOWEVER, whenever i make a phone call, my 4gLTE becomes 1x and i can't use data simultaneously with voice. Anyone have a fix or is this because of the different bands?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] GUGUITOMTG4:
Found A solution

For those having issues with not service when changing SimCards after 5.0x.

The solution is http://xdaforums.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294

Just disable Verizon activation app (VzwActivationAgent apk) . NO ROOT NEEDED

I also disabled some Knox services that where already pre-marked.

Now I have service with T-mobile Sim and don't have the annoying "unkown sim" message.

The tool is created by [MENTION=3178012]gatesjunior[/MENTION] so, show your appreciation on his thread. :)

I quicly quoted some of you so, ignore the rest
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Gilley:
I just got my SIM card today and got it all in, typed in the APN numbers that were shown on the 1st page and i'm getting H and H+ when I'm in an LTE area and when I go into the status part of my phone it shows i'm on the AT&T network instead of T-Mobiles. any thoughts? Only thing they said it will take awhile to get everything searching for tmobile etc, no one mentioned that in here so not sure that they are right.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] choppy94:
I've been trying to figure this out for two weeks. Everything else works fine but it just won't send MMS. Have gone through the forums and tried a number of APN settings but am stuck. Came from an IPhone 5 and just deactivated iCloud and Imessage but still won't work. If someone could shed some light on what settings I have wrong I'd really appreciate it. Screen shots of my current non-working settings attached. Thanks in advance!

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Rippa_MD:
So I read the thread and I'm still not sure on the answer to have working Hotspot.

I have an unrooted note 4 Verizon kitkat 4.4.4 on t-mobile.

Any way to get the built-in Hotspot working without rooting or is rooting the only way?

I'm having the same issue. Can anyone help me or should I remove the 5.0 update.

Ty in advance.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] play2lose:
Just letting everyone know I fixed my no service with T-Mobile issue.

Got a Verizon Note 4 on eBay which was on 5.0.1. Put my T-Mobile sim and APN in like I have on tons of verizon phones before, and got no service. Tried all the APN's. Tried all the global / lte / gsm modes. Tried rebooting tons of times, taking the sim in and out tons of times.

I figured it was just a 5.0.1 issue so I force downgraded to 4.4.4. Same issue. I then flashed the 4.4.4 modem on top to make sure that took effect. Still nothing.

After tons more reboots and still no working T-Mobile service...I shut it off and took my T-Mobile sim out and got the bright idea to put my iPads Verizon sim in. Well of course it got signal with Verizon just fine. I shut the phone off....took out the Verizon sim...put in my T-Mobile sim again. Booted it up, instant service.

I think the phone just had to "Activate" on the Verizon towers first for some reason. Working fine now! Actually brave/stupid enough to update to 5.0.1 again now lol.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Heavy Metal:
How about verizon note 4 on t-mobile network via straight tall anyone done this and is lte fuctional or just 4G aka hspa+ or hspa?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] choppy94:
I'm still stuck if anyone has any ideas. Have tweaked settings, tried a couple different messaging apps but can only receive MMS. Have since set both APN protocol to IPv4/IPv6 and type to "default,supl,admin,dun,mms". Sorry to repost and appreciate any help.

Is it working please tell us.Even I am facing same problem.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] sirrkitt:
Mine was also failing to find service or register with the network despite it being unlocked, clean ESN, and reading the T-Mobile SIM card.

What I ended up doing was rolling back to 4.4.4, rooting with KingRoot, and then proceeding to use the Phone INFO app to get into service mode via root and I played around with enough settings in a couple of the menus that I restarted the phone and had LTE. Still have to tinker with it to get it to find LTE though, as it just wants to stay on UMTS/WCDMA mode but it's working flawlessly without any issues. Perhaps someone who actually knows what they're doing with Service Mode can chime in and explain what settings should be set to what to get it to work properly.

Also flashing it back to Lollipop right now, so I'll comment back tomorrow and let you know if service sticks or if it gets grumpy again.

------------------

Flashed Lollipop again and lost connectivity. Rolling back back to KitKat, I guess
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] pvndpk:
But how did you flash 4.4.4 from lollipop its not possible right?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] sirrkitt:
If you kept the bootloaders from OF1 using the safe upgrades on this forum you can upgrade or downgrade to your hearts content. If you accidentally took an OTA past OF1 release then you probably are on a newer bootloader that prevents you from downgrading.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] pvndpk:
Yes i have the latest ota BOAF5.Please tell me how to enable the DM mode on this version .All the secret codes are not working.Its just a show piece now.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] sirrkitt:
You can't. Like I said, you need to be on 4.4.4 in order to achieve root as there is no root out for Lollipop yet on this device. The only other solution would be to try and follow the trick involving activating the phone with someone's Verizon sim and then switching back to a T-Mobile sim
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] pvndpk:
I enabled DM node by ##DMMODE# with help of my friend and connected to cdma tool.But don't know what to do

3. Install vz known working sim- make test call and can get on the internet

4. take out vz sim and install t mobile sim-

5. add apn settings for tmobile

6. save apn settings

7. Says same thing "searching for service"

8. toggle mobile network type from global to each setting repeatedly.

9. take out T MOBILE sim

10. Put in vz sim works flawless... test calls and internet work

11. try tmobile again- not working with anything I try

Can anyone please help???
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] pvndpk:
Hi if the ESN is clean then speak to verizon customer care they would help u.Verizon is locking few phones on 5.0.1 update, so if you call verizon customer care i am sure they will give some procedure.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] da9b16:
I called them last night they could not help
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] sirrkitt:
On Lollipop it wouldn't take my T-Mobile SIM until I activated the phone with a Verizon SIM with service after a fresh factory reset.

So for me:

1. Wipe phone

2. Don't disable anything yet

3. Insert activated Verizon SIM

4. Go through the activation wizard and skip everything

5. Confirm that the activation wizard tell a you that the phone has been activated successfully

6. Confirm that the activation wizard tells your "your phone number is xxx-xxx-xxxx"

7. Finish the setup and skip everything for now

8. Turn off phone

9. Insert T-Mobile SIM

10. Boot phone and verify service, make a test call

11. Add T-Mobile APN

12. Reboot and make sure service still works

13. Use the debloater tool to disable all the Verizon software and bloatware

-Also

I use GSM/UMTS/LTE as my network mode instead of Global but they should both work fine
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] pvndpk:
I am outside USA .Any idea on how to activate?Please help sir
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] sirrkitt:
If you are still on old bootloader, downgrade to Kitkat, temp root, install phone-info app and play around with some settings in service mode. I got it to work once but I couldn't get it to stick after I upgraded to lollipop, so if you get service to work via settings in service mode do note that you are stuck on Kitkat
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] pvndpk:
Nope i am on 5.0.1 without safe upgrade.But verizon cant lock their phones Right?Their policy says so.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] endo689:
So after I paid off my device to Verizon the device itself is now unlocked. Maybe now Verizon locks the devices if you are using a device payment plan with them? It's annoying yes but now my Note 4 works just fine with T-Mobile.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] nigafied45:
I have a Verizon note edge that was given to me from a friend it's unlocked I put my moms ATT SIM card in it to verify it was unlocked since my iPhone SIM card for Tmobile is too small. Where's the de bloater you mention in your post one of the reasons I'm not using the phone is because of the Verizon software as a long time T-mobile customer I like they make the added software optional or removable also going to lose tethering probably? Or is that confirmed to work? I wish there was a way to just flash the Tmobile boot to the Verizon phone for most part functional wise the phone should work same as far as speed call quality? Thanks let me know I have the phone for sale but if I can get the junk off the phone I might just keep it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] DrPhant0m:
I've got a Note 4 Developer Edition running AICP ROM (5.1.1). I've been interested in moving to T-Mobile, since Verizon is going to add another $20/month to my bill for unlimited data. However, only just recently has the T-Mo coverage map shown better coverage in my area.

So, today, I got a SIM card and bought a month of prepaid service to try it out in my Verizon Note 4 Dev Edition. On my way home... I couldn't get service for about the last 10min of my drive near my house. This is a bummer.

Can anyone tell me if I might have better luck with an ACTUAL T-Mobile phone that has all the right bands? I can never figure out for sure what bands are needed/supported because it's all very cryptic to me.

Thanks for the help.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Floods7:
I'm having the same problem as some of you other guys. Here is what I have done so far.

Did a factory restore on the phone

Activated phone with a Verizon SIM (successful)

Removed vzw activation software.

Changed the APN to proper T-Mobile settings.

Still nothing... WTF

i want to confirm with everyone. Even i downgrade to 4.4.4 Kitkat, still no luck with T-mobile Sim card!
