Side not the straight talk firmware is horrible too its stuck in the land of time forgotten 4.4.2.....Any help would be great. thanks

Is the Verizon stock rom the only one that has native SPen apps?

Just wondering if any of the other roms have the native SPen apps. I am guessing not because Touchwiz is needed, but I thought I'd ask.

verizon htc one max stuck in bootloop

I have a htc one max (Verizon) its stuck on start up screen with Verizon logo. I don't care about saving anything. I have tried all the simple tricks recovery, factory reset ect. With no results. It does say locked at the top of Hboot screen. I have a computer and sd card. I have good computer skill but basic cell phone knowledge. I love this phone and hate to trash it. Anybody willing to walk me thru unbricking it? I would sure appreciate it. Willing to send you a gift card to your favorite restaurant as long as its not to expensive. Thanks for any help.

just got stock marshmallow Verizon S5? what to do with it?

It's been awhile since I messed with any custom roms or anything but I hate all the Samsung stuff all over this S5 I recently acquired. Its running 6.0.1 stock verizon. I'm a little overwhelmed by these forms if someone could point me in the right direction thanks. At the very least I would like to remove these useless Samsung/verizon apps that wont let me but ideally I would remove TouchWiz and get closer to vanilla Android be it a custom rom or what have you. Or any other recommendations, thanks.

Verizon M8 ROMs

Will the ROMs listed in the standard M8 category work on carrier specific M8s? I have a Verizon M8 so can I only flash the ROMs listed under the "Verizon M8" category? Thanks!

Bypass backup pin Verizon Note 4

Looking for some guidance. 2 days ago my "gesture password" didn't work and the phone started asking me for the backup pin, which I really don't remember.
Tried the usual suspects for the pin, but I'm down to the last try and it says after that the phone will be wiped out.
I realize Android 6 has plugged in all previous holes, unreal that "Android Device Manager" doesn't let you unlock the phone.

Since my phone is not rooted and I don't have a custom recovery installed my main question is, any way that I can get access to the phone so that I can delete those .key files and unlock it?
I have tried ADB in Linux and Windows, and neither shows me any devices after I do "adb start-server" and "adb devices".

It feels like the only option is a wipeout, but I wanted to verify any possible way to get adb working or being able to install CWM/TWRP. I realize the verizon version of the Note 4 SM-N910V is fairly locked down, so with an already pin-locked phone, things don't seem too bright.

Any suggestions?

Verizon S7 Edge (SM-G935V) on AT&T with LTE tip

Hi all, just giving a quick 2 cents after my recent experience attempting to activate a Verizon S7 Edge on AT&T.

*Following a data reset you will need wifi for initial setup if you are using an AT&T sim card.

After following the guide in AT&T's web site for APN settings I was not able to get any data or mms service (this is using the NXTGENPHONE APN), so I did some experimenting. The following APN settings worked for HSPA+ data and mms, but NO LTE and NO MMS if connected to WIFI:

Name: ATT
APN: phone
Proxy: not set
Port: not set
Username: not set
Password: not set
Server: not set
MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
Multimedia message proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
Multimedia message port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication type: not set
APN type: default,mms,supl,hipri
APN Protocol: IPv4/IPv6
APN roaming protocol: IPv4/IPv6
Bearer: unspecified
Mobile virtual network operator type: none
Mobile virtual network operator value: not set

So at this point I had NO LTE service and NO MMS IF connected to wifi. Utilizing the LTE Discovery app from the play store I could see that LTE was "not available" but on my wife's S7 she was getting LTE on Band 4. To make a long story short I got online to an AT&T chat rep who told me that HSPA+ and LTE are the exact same and they just show up different on different phones... THIS IS NOT CORRECT!

I educated the dumba$$ rep that HSPA+ and LTE are not the same, and asked to speak to a tech support SPECIALIST. After a short wait for transfer the final solution that worked was to have the specialist change the IMEI on file for my phone number to an AT&T branded Note 5 (I had an old one on the account and just used that). I then restarted the phone and had to wait about 10 minutes for the HSPA+ to change to 4GLTE signal. MMS now works when connected to wifi as well! Please note that this was achieved using the above mentioned APN settings- using AT&T's guide for NXTGENPHONE still results in NO data or MMS.

So the bottom line when transferring a Verizon S7 Edge to AT&T:
1. Use the above APN settings
2. Call AT&T and change your phone number's IMEI in their system to an LTE capable AT&T branded device (in my case note 5 worked)
3. Reboot and wait about 10 minutes for the signal to register

**DON'T let a representative tell you that HSPA+ and LTE are the same thing.. we're talking 8 Mbps vs 50+ Mbps download and 2 Mbps vs 20+ Mbps upload!

Cheers

Verizon HTC 10 Root?

I was just wondering if there was a working root for the Verizon version yet?

Straight talk verizon sim and switching phones

Well I started out with a Note 3 broke it got another Note 3 and now upgraded to the Note 4 all verizon models all using the same straight talk verizon sim.

Service works on the note 4 BUT am limited to 3G. After talking to a few techs they finally told me I need a new sim card. They don't allow switching phones and keeping a single sim.

They are sending a new sim free of charge so at least that's a good thing. Just that I would put this info out there in case anyone else does that same as me and think you can just move the sim card and be good to go.

Verizon Galaxy S5 video calling and some other network stuff on T-Mobile network

I have a Verizon G900V S5 that I am currently using with a T-Mobile sim card on the T-Mobile network, I can get voice calls text/data etc, but I cant find a way to activate the video calling because its linked to Verizon its currently on android 5.0 and I cant manually update it from the phone either because it says im not on the network, is there any tweaks or roms to fix these? Also whats the best network mode I should be on to get the fastest data right now im just leaving it on "Global" and using T-Mobiles APN and it seems alright

Driving Mode in Verizon Message+

Driving mode comes on automatically when my Galaxy S7 is paired with my car's Jabra Freeway Bluetooth speaker.
I have turned this off in the Message+ settings but it still comes on automatically. How do I stop this behavior permanently?

Old Verizon Motorola Droid X: Delayed phone dialing

An old but working fine Verizon Motorola Droid X insists on waiting 10 minutes before it dials any phone number. But wait! If I dial ten numbers, it dials each of them after 10 minutes. Might be a neat way of annoying some asshole all night! Yeah, right. Not serious. What causes this and can it be turned on and off? Much prefer it to be off.

Have already tried ""Android Recover" and BPHW Bypass Diag and Boot" options by holding PowerON with Down Volume and then Down Volume to select these options.

Many thanks gang.

Help improve Verizon compatibility

The OP3 does work on Verizon, however there are some "issues" that can probably be easily fixed by someone who knows what they're doing (aka not me).

So far I can confirm 1X/3G (eHRPD) works. I have to enable data roaming for data to work, but I can make/receive calls, sms, mms, and cellular data.

I've also been able to force a connection to LTE by placing the phone into "LTE Only mode". However, when I do this sms, mms and calls don't work (only data works).

For some reason the phone defaults to 3G rather than 4G even though it can use both.

3G/4G data, sms, mms and calling are working, they just aren't working together.

I have done a lot of testing on ,apns and build.prop edits but I have not made any progress.
My personal theory is that the phone is defaulting to using a US Cellular APN which then attaches to Verizon's network as a roaming partner.

I really need some help from the community to get this thing working right. Any help would be much appreciated.

[Q] Question about Verizon Replacement Policy

I don't know how it happened, but reading around the net, I found out my stylus on my Note 5 got inserted backwards and then yanked out. Now my S Pen sensor isn't working anymore. I am reading mixed responses on whether Verizon will replace it for Free while its still under the 1 year warranty. Anyone know? Thanks

Will The Verizon Moto Z Be APN Locked?

I've been so excited for the Moto Z, but I just learned that the unlocked version will be GSM only. Great.

I use a local carrier that is CDMA. We use Verizon towers and LTE so phone calls, data, and text messages will work but MMS will not work without the proper APN settings. My girlfriend bought a Moto X from Moto Maker a couple years back, and since there was no unlocked version at the time she went with the Verizon version. She was unable to edit the APN settings until the Lollipop update hit her phone. For some reason Lollipop allowed her to edit her APN.

My question is, do you think the Verizon Moto Z will be the same way? Kinda of bummed I might have to miss out on this phone, or go without MMS. Really making me consider switching carriers.

Ok yet another noob post for how to root the note 4 on verizon

OK so massive apologies in advance because ive read about 500 posts that say this has been answered but i swear to christ i cant find it for the life of me. ive been at this for about a week trying to root this piece of **** and i finally am doing the one thing i said i wouldn't..... post a post that has apparently already been answered.

To start with here are the facts of what ive done tried and know. I started out with 6.0.1 marshmallow on my device. Following http://forum.xda-developers.com/note...phone-t3421821 post #2 i downgraded to 5.1.1 because at the time it was my understanding that was what was required. i still dont know if i even needed to do that now. after i did that i watched about 100 youtube videos all telling me different **** saying that i needed to transfer super-su and emotion over to the phone which i later found out was just kernel then reboot using odin and the recovery twrp file and send the device directly into recovery mode then wipe the data and install the files transfered to the device earlier inside recovery. then i watched one saying "no dont do that instead use kingoroot from ur pc and then super sume pro to wipe the files off. that just kept shutting off my phone cuz of how unstable the temp root was then i read some posts saying use adb script which i tried and failed at horribly. so bottom line is yes im a noob and yes i need a bit of hand holding as this is my first root ever and i really dont want to turn my phone into a brick. again i apologize for my ignorance but any help what so ever of even pointing me in the right direction would be helpful.
