First i want to thank mrfeuss for this awesome rom it works great!!
If anyone can help-I have a att&t G pro got it unlocked had metro put a sim in it as ive been on merto pcs for awhile
i just flashed mrfeuss's omni rom at first i had no way to make calls everything else worked -text,email,data etc except calls.
i found the att&t tmobile fix and flashed it,now calls are better than before! but in my notifaction panel it says tmobile where it would
usually say metro pcs it also says tmobile is my carrier??
i know they both merged and they use each others towers but am i only on there network now somehow?? i still have the metro pcs sim
so im a little confused here.

My friend and i recently worked on flashing my samsung epic 4g to metro pcs. it is somewhat flashed because when i call *228 the metro pcs jingle plays and everything. however when i get to the option where i switch phones it always tells me that something went wrong and sends me to a human metro pcs assisstant. i talked to the assisstant but i didnt want to tell them that it was a flashed phone. is there something i did wrong in the process of flashing or does it always do that with flashed phones? HELLPP

I've switched from ATT to T-Mobile.
I've been running the nightly build on my ATT SGH-i747, I've unlocked the phone and can receive calls etc on the device with the new T-Mobile sim. At the moment I'm not getting any 4g, but I've yet to confirm that is a build issue as I saw this once before in previous updates.
Looking at the get.cm page there are builds for the T-Mobile S3, at this point should I use that build on my device or are they close enough that no issues will arise if I continue updating the ATT builds? Just don't want to nuke the device, because then I would be stuck with the z10 that I plan on returning tomorrow

I have simplemobile which is a tmobile company.. for the past 4 or 5 days, I was stuck on E which stands for Edge which is 2g.. but when I went downtown tampa, fl I had 4g..
same problem with my wifes S2 stuck on E..
I tried several roms I made with the same problem. the last rom I did was a tmobile rom which u will see on my signature..
so on my phone the S3 using the tmobile rom, and my wifes S2 phone I did the following, which wasn't on the stock ATT rom.
settings/wireless and network/more settings/mobile networks/network mode/ use WCDMA ONLY.. stays on 4g for me all the time...

Thanks! I thought that was going to be a settings option, just couldn't remember where it was.
Also I answered my own question by backing up and attempting to load the d2tmo ROM, it wouldn't load due to device type error. So I guess that's that

I have the S3 ATT version.. I tried the d2tmo on my phone 1st, it worked just fine... I then changed the build prop and changed everything that said d2tmo to d2att so my phone thinks it a ATT phone..
both worked just the same...
but remember the ATT original build from 11 2012 doesn't have the setting for WCDMA... that's how I got it to work from tmobile ver...
Restoring a nandroid from my T999 did the trick for me, works just like it. Wifi calling even works perfectly.

I Have had my OGP for about three weeks now on Metro PCS and Its Getting 4G LTE :laugh:. I do hope more people buy and support this phone cause it's such a great phone. I just sold my Galaxy Note 2 and Galaxy s3 to get It. It's not offer'ed on other carriers but what the hell we have the option of at least going to three of the 3 major carriers and use this device. all I can say is BUY THIS PHONE :good::good:

I have a question for you, I purchased the at&t lg optimus prime g, I took it to a metro store and I bought a sim card, talk and text seem to work fine, but I don't get any data. Did you do anything to get the phone to work, other than just inserting the SIM card? I was thinking the APNs were still set as the at&t apns and that is why I'm not getting anything. Thank you in advance.

Yes it`s the APN`s stopping you from getting data. You will need to obtain them. Also depending on your area you may or may NOT get 3G as since MetroPCS is now T-Mobile this phone does NOT fully support T-Mobile`s 3G/4G HSPA+ bands. you will only get 3G/4G HSPA+ in refarmed areas.

It does NOT look like your getting LTE in that screenshot... On AT&T phones 4G at the top means 3G/HSPA+. It will say 4G LTE if your on LTE.

Not to bring an old post back from the dead but... Are you still on Metro PCS? If so, how are you liking the LTE coverage? Currently I'm on T-Mobile and thinking of switching to Metro's unlimited LTE for $60 a month. Save me about $13.00 a month.
LTE or Not LTE
My wife one night left her phone with me and in this location it showed 4gLTE I hadnt bothered since I unlocked and rooted it we use Metro i put an early version of cyanogen on it and mine is a twin in blue with nightlies I only get the hspa* not the 4gLTE what am I doing wrong?
I just switched from PTel Mobile to MetroPCS. Both carriers are using T-Mobile network, on a secondary degree of importance or something like that.
Originally my LG OGP was activated on ATT, then switched to PTel Mobile and on both carriers got 4G LTE with no problems whatsoever. Now on MetroPCS the best it can do is EDGE and when I open the internet Browser, loses all signals (even phone capabilities) and have to restart phone in order to make phone calls again.
APN settings are as depicted on the post above, and calls and texts work well. The problem is the internet, or the lack of it.
Anyone have had problems like this? Any solution?
(the lady on MetroPCS was not of any help. She just keep complaining about my LG being a piece of S... and that I should buy a new phone from them)
Hey guys! I'm trying to get my Verizon S4 working for my wife on T-Mobile! She got the LG G3 last night and because she's so tiny, it's like a tablet to her!
Anyways, the Verizon S4 is rooted and is still on original MDK firmware. With that said, I'm not too sure exactly which steps in your guide apply to our situation...not having safe strap and all.
With changing the APN settings to match up to my phone (LG G3 on T-Mobile), and inserting a T-Mobile 4G sim card, I'm able to get calls and SMS working over WiFi on the S4...that's it though. No mobile data seems to be coming through. Her mobile signal icon in the status bar keeps switching back n forth from E to H for some reason...but no LTE or 4G icon.
Anyways, is this something anyone thinks they could help with? Or do ya think we're screwed? My sweet wife would be eternally grateful if someone could help to make this happen!!
EDIT: haha, my signature will be changed if I'm able to get this working for her!
Aren't you missing something here? Verizon is CDMA, TMo is GSM. I don't see how you can get cell coverage to work unless the phone has dual antennas.

Many newer CDMA devices with LTE support have gsm radios as well, that includes sprint and Verizon..
To OP, you may have better luck searching the Verizon forums if nobody replies here
I have the LG E980 Optimus G Pro POS phone. Had it unlocked, inserted a cricket sim card and though I can sometimes make calls when it decides to connect, I very rarely get 4G or LTE, mostly its a little "E" with one or two bars of signal. The phone will not send photos but surfs the web on wifi with no issues.
I have read through this forum and found some workarounds with StraightTalk users but can't find anything for Cricket users. I have tried creating an APN with Crickets data but the Authentication Type is restricted from any editing leading me to believe that this phone is locked to AT&T's network regardless of what unlock codes I entered successfully.
When I attempt to make outbound calls the phone usually takes 3-4 attempts as it drops the call and forces me to redial eventually after enough tries it connects but the quality of the call suks monkey nutz.
I don't really know if rooting will help. I did try a workaround straight talk users were having success with where the APN was edited with the SIM card removed but even that was fruitless as the AT&T APN kept showing up over and over again once I reinserted a SIM card.
This phone is slated for air to wall impact testing very soon if this waste of money can't be fixed and my thoughts that AT&T locked this junk down turn out to be true. So if anyone is knowledgeable with Cricket networks using this phone any guidance is appreciated and in advance I humbly bow to your expertise in these matters. THANK YOU.
I use the phone on Cricket network and have had nothing but superb service, I had service with AT&T. I ordered my sim off ebay for Cricket inserted it went through the setup and all is fine. only thing I can think of is your phone is not unlocked... Mine is carrier and boot loader unlocked and rooted, only problem I had was I couldn't send picture mess... spot where you add the APN type was blanked out, that was on stock 4.4.2 I just went with a modded version of 4.4.2 and all is fine... blows att out of the water full bars lte all the time, Hope you get it figured out.. sure glad I switched....
U really dont need a unlocked att phone to use on cricket
Locked att phones work fine too
Cricket runs on the att network and is owned by att
I switched my s4 from att to cricket without unlocking
The cricket salesman also said any att phone would work since its the same network
You must have a diferent issue
I use my att e980 on cricket at this moment
Bought it off ebay and very happy with it
