Hey guys,
I was using my dinc2 in Europe all year and it was great. No troubles there.
I did some research since i've come back to US, and learned that people have been able to use tmobile with their phones. I've only read about some troubles with data plans ... but i'm not trying to use data at all.
I simply want to buy the 1000 prepaid minutes for 100$ from tmobile and pop it in. My plans is to use Wifi with google voice (groove IP) pretty much everywhere, and use the minutes from tmobile only when i'm on the move.
I tried getting a friends tmobile SIM to work just to make sure that there would be no problems, and i failed. It simply doesn't recognize the service.
My phone is S-OFF, hdboot .97, clockworkmodded, and runs Skyraider Zeus.
Is it a matter of running the correct ROM?

We have 2 DI2 and running both AT&T Prepaid and T-Mo Prepaid on it - no trouble with voice with Skyraider Zeus v1.3 or Nitsuj17's Stock Sense rom - APN settings for AT&T was auto-updated as I recall and being provisioned with a data bundle in the plan, it works. For T-Mobile, there are no default APN settings under GSM mode pre-loaded, but as you know, it's not required for voice & SMS to work on the DI2, you will get a "redirect" screen if you launch the browser to sign up for a data plan for it to work (and, that's indication of a working Sim card)
With the sim inserted & switched over to GSM, does it identify the "T-Mobile" network on the lockscreen or homes screen at all? after a reboot ? If you're running SR Zeus in Europe - then, there's no reason for it to not work here in the U.S.- recheck your settings for Mobile Network ...
Greetings!
I have a Galaxy SIII (SPH-L710) with Virgin Mobile (US).
I have been able to change the firmware and load CM 10.1.
Unfortunately, I cannot connect to Virgin Mobile (Sprint) 4g LTE. In order to get my mobile data working at all, I have to change my network mode from "LTE/CDMA/EvDo" to "CDMA/EvDo auto". I cannot get 4g to work at all. Has anybody else been able to get this working?

I came from regular sprint on an iphone and 4G LTE coverage was very spotty, and therefore rather unreliable. I have not seen it connect to LTE yet but i'm actually not surprised by that. However, getting any kind of data connection has been very difficult, so far. I'm rather concerned and looking to see if i need to flash to a new baseband version or something because poppa needs at least a 3G connection.
i've tried in and out of airplane mode with 50% good luck...so, there's that too.

ok just a quick update, i've been trying a few different modems/basebands from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1787677
LJ7 was not holding a 3G signal well, and would not connect to LTE. I moved over to MC3 and that actually deactivated my phone off Virgin. As a result, i had to go back to the virgin stock rom and re-activate. It was painless since i found this wonderful post here:

I'm currently running the MB1 baseband, but haven't been able to test it yet - going to provide some updates once i can test some more.
I'm having the same issue but on Boost

Did the MB1 baseband ever work for you? I am curious, as I have not yet been able to get 4G working on a custom ROM on my Virgin S3.
I am a CSpire customer. I just flashed the RhythmicRom v1.4 with Beats Audio + Tweaks ROM. Everything appears hunky-dory. When I go into Settings->About Phone->Status, it shows Virgin Mobile under Network. Am I really on their network now, or is that just a text entry somewhere in the ROM? If I have in fact caused my phone to jump ship, how do I get it back?

No its just for appearance. However you most likely lost MMS function.

Thanks for the reply. I can live without MMS - just didn't want to be hijacking service (or getting in trouble for it).
Hey guys, I'm wondering if anyone know how to access the MVNO setting (mobile virtual network operator type) within APN of the HTC One M8.
I live in Australia and currently on the Virgin Mobile Network which is a MVNO of Optus. I was on a M7 and recently bought a M8 off a friend for cheap. However when I have installed the nano SIM, I can only make calls and texts and could not get the internet to work even when the APN settings are correct. I took it to the Virgin Mobile store and they have also tried playing around with the APN settings with no luck.
The odd thing is that when I remove the SIM card and place it in another phone it doesn't work on the other phone either . But when I try place a SIM card from another carrier (Telstra) into my M8 it works fine. Virgin Mobile has issued me a new nano SIM and I did the same tests and got the same results which is really odd. Virgin Mobile has also checked on their system and confirmed to me that internet is ACTIVE.
I've been reading around and the only other solution I can think of is accessing the MVNO setting and changing in to IMSI in hope it works. If anyone could please tell me how to access MVNO on the M8 it would be much appreciated.
Network: Virgin Mobile
Phone is SIM unlocked
Bootloader unlocked, S-OFF and Super CID
ROM: Android revolution HD 21.0
Firmware : 3.28.401.7
Most likely you need a different radio...

I just checked on my phone under mobile networks > APNs and at the very bottom I get the option to choose the MVNO type and value, so the only thing I can suggest is making a twrp backup of your current arhd and flashing another rom with that option (since it's not appearing on the one you're using).
The rom I'm on right now is Dirty Unicorns.
I think you might be on to something

Thanks for your help. I managed to solve the issue. It was simply a bad imei, changing it did the trick.

I need to try to this my imei number is no goodfrom the previous owner whofiled it lost when he thought it had been stolen yet lucky me it showed up a day after he the replacement did for the HTC One Max????? (HTC6600LVW) yet I am sticking with my Galaxy Note 3 as the 200 difference from the CPU is a great deal when being held next to each other... So I've decided to sell it to my roommate who uses metro pcs told her to buy an unlock pin for her SIM card to work. I read about rooting the phones but being that it is not mine I'm not lying to the poor girl am I?
I have an unlocked at&t note 4 being used with t-mobile. Recently the internet connection drops as soon as a call comes in and comes right back when done. i checked with t-mobile and they say on their end their service supports talk and surf at the same time.
Is there an update or setting that got switched on? running stock 5.1.1
