[Q] Verizon Note 4 on cricket problems - Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone. I am new here and this is my first post. I'm hoping I can get some help to figure my phone out. I have a Verizon Note 4 on Cricket. I have a couple problems. 1. Sometimes when I get an incoming call the caller i.d. breaks the phone number into international calling format and it will show it as a German city call like "Luxembourg ". Of course I can't call the number back from that caller i.d. I have to go into my contacts to call back if I miss a call. 2. My voice mail no longer works. The guy at cricket Downloaded The Cricket visual voice mail app for me. It works sometimes. Also I had to download a different sms app and dialer app too. I believe Cricket knows about these problems but doesn't have a fix for it. My network mode was on global but I changed it to GSM but that didn't fix it. Any ideas on how to fix this? Maybe a root? If there is no fix then does anyone know if this problem exists with a att note 4 on cricket? I could possibly trade it on c-list. Thanks for any help. I really appreciate it!

Anybody?

Sorry to hear you're having these issues. I went through the exact same thing. I have been using Cricket for more than 12 months now.
The '+1' dialing code was a constant issue for me too. There is an option in the settings tab when you open your dial pad, you need to diable or uncheck an option if I remember correct but there is a fix.
I got the note 4 from Verizon when it first dropped and after finding out about the locked bootloader, that was the final nail in the coffin. Traded it in soon after because I wasn't getting LTE speeds either. Just H+ which is 4G. Big no no. Swap it out for a T-Mobile Note 4 buddy.
Let me know if this helps.

Thank you for the reply. I ended up going back with Verizon and everything is good. Except for the $100 a month. Lol.. I'm trying to trade it for a GSM note 4. So you say Tmobile note 4 runs lte on Cricket?

Hey guys should I be careful buying a used tmobile phone? How can I be Shure the is good to use? Not stolen or in the blacklist or what about if I buy the phone and then the seller report it stollen. Will tmobile disconnect my phone even if it is on simple mobile? Is there a safe way to do the transaction. Lots of questions. Thanks
well, it is not safe, if the phone report stolen or blocked it by tmobile, you can't use it with simple mobile. and there is no way to know if the phone ok or not, it will works for a couple of days/weeks/months but once tmobile block it. you will be sorry. anyway I bought mine from amazon, I talked to them first about people selling phones on amazon and then the phone gets blocked. they put a note in my account that if the phone got blocked I can return it back for a full refund no matter how long. and btw mine is used.

T-mobile phones are the worst to buy used because it can be blocked for 2 reasons, unpaid EIP and phone reported stolen. I almost got burned but luckily I was able to tracked down the previous owner. The phone worked for weeks before it was blocked. Scarry.
This is currently my experience.
I own an AT&T Galaxy Note 2 that I just got yesterday. I got it unlocked, and right there I'l put Simple Mobile on it and it worked just great with the only exception that I get only 2G on it and I'm on an area where most T-mobile users get 4G.
So got somewhat disappointing but didn't give up. From there I rooted it and I flashed a T-mobile SGH-T889 ROM on it and it ROM itself works, but with Simple Mobile I still get only 2G.
From here, I'm thinking the only thing I'm missing is the Radio (or Modem if you wanna call it that way) for a T-Mobile phone since I'm suspecting I'm still using an AT&T radio.
I haven't done enough research to see if I'm right on my theory. So as soon as I get back to the kitchen I'll flash a T-Mobile Radio and see if that works.

Sounds like it could be network vision. I'm a tech for sprint and there have been lots of customers in my area that can't receive phone calls. Flash the return to stock Rom and if it is still doing it then take it to a service center. If they determine it's a network issue then you're SOL.

I really think it is a network issue...to many people from different parts of the country are complaining about the same issues..
I started resending out 55015 PRL to people I end up taking escalations from because there phones used to work and then they stopped and 90% of the time its because of a SMR change on there local towers voice/1x service. That 800 is nice when your able yo properly connect.

I mean how do you do it? You work for sprint or something?? I want to get off this stupid 2000 PRL myself but never took the time to flash a custom recovery just to do so.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
Yes I work for sprint. And the bad thing is. I can update anyone's PRL but it will change back on the next scheduled network sync. So I have a list of PTNs I have to check weekly to verify if they rolled back to 20000 or 20001.

So what would you recommend as the best course of action? Staying on 55015 unless you notice you aren't receiving calls sometimes? Come to think of it I think I did get a voicemail once without the phone ringing... but other than that once, it seems like 55015 has been better than 2000, at least in terms of holding a data signal.
Depends on your area and your service. If 20000 doesn't work and 55015 does, then stick with it. As for calls rolling directly to VM and your phone isn't broke lol, it more then likely is a hickup in the network. You should see some of the network Trams I see on my end.

So I noticed you work for Sprint. I'm running a custom prl on my note 2 that prioritizes 800 smr. Most of the time I fail to connect, but not always. I am an active member at s4gru.com, a Sprint forum, and many people with note 2's are experiencing the same connection problems with smr. My wisdom for you is if Sprint, internally, has diagnosed the problem with the note 2's and 800 smr. Obviously Sprint knows something is up or they wouldn't have pushed the 2000 prl.

The reason I push out non standard PRLs are for instances were I have a customer who is not getting service at all or is getting extremely poor voice service. As for s4gru.com, that is not a sprint affiliated web site. It is a community blog that is not moderated nor updated by sprint. It is true that some N2 users in specific markets experience issues with 800 SMR bands enabled but I personally have not had an issue with it.

What Rom and radio are you running if you don't mind me asking?

L900VPAMC2 Stock Rooted with a DPI change. But I have been running 55015 the entire time even before I rooted. Erickson has been working on the issue for some time but driver updates for the Note 2 are needed for the patch to work and as far as I can tell Sammy hasn't done that yet.
But for most people I deal with, having to power cycle your phone occasionally is a hell of a lot better then no service at all.

S3 no texts or calls

I recently started having an issue with my S3. I cant recieve calls or text messages. I dont use google voice, and have done the ## codes to no avail. I contacted sprint and they told me there might be an outage but my room mates also on sprint have no issues. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Look in settings/more/about device/device status and scroll down to see your IMEI and make sure you have 15 digits. I know in the past some have lost this going from aosp/aokp back to TW.

Find out if you are on the most recent prl version and if you are then I would tell Verizon you want a replacement because maybe you have a bad radio or something along those lines .

Verizon Note 4 on Straighttalk

Hello,
I just got my note 4 via Amazon today. I was trying to be smart and save some money by trying to use Straight talk service (At&t) on a verizon Note 4 because it was a $100 cheaper. Considering the fact that verizon devices are unlocked for GSM use I thought why not try my luck.
So off i went to experiment with a great deal of doubt if this might work. Popped my Sim in, peeled the protector off and first thing i did was to create and save my APN. It took me less then a minute to realize the harsh fact that LTE was not going to work. Searched the web, called Customer care (like they would actually be of any help) and found nothing. Nada, zero, khallas. The dreaded 'H' is all i get and its annoying the crap out of me.
And here I am now debating whether i should spend a $100 more to go get the att note 4 or send this back and get the nexus 6. Almost out.
SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE.
Thanks!!
LTE only works with T-Mobile using Verizon phones in most cases.
Uhh if you did your research before hand you'd know that the Verizon version only supports LTE Band 13/4 while AT&T uses different bands for LTE. It's literally listed on the product's page on Verizon's website.
I'll not hesitate to admit the fact that I'm an idiot.

Att lte ? I just saw your said att lte in your post. That's awesome ! Where did you buy your developer edition ? I check Verizon website and didn't see it there
---------- Post added at 08:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 PM ----------
Do they come unlocked to use on all carrier or still need to be regional unlocked ?
Yeah, I've the Att Micro SIM in this device. It's not the developer version, just the normal Version infact. Verizon devices are unlocked right out the box so you don't have to go for the region unlock. Cheers!

Did you buy the phone or did you find it? Just curious if "bad" esn phones will work outside of verizon network.
I hope more people can confirm it working on att because I've always been told Verizon uses different bands than att
Att LTE from what I know should work on band4.

Straight Talk is AT&T and Verizon, it uses both, and I know from experience moving Verizon lte phones to Straight talk, every straight talk phone ends in -A or -V depending on which network is used.
So wat all we have to do is put a straight talk sim in a verizon phone and it will work cause I am confused here straight talk told me I can not use a verizon note 3 or 4

First it has to be compatible, you can go to their website and check the imei. If compatible, you need to go through the process, which in my experience, costs about 8 for a code you need. They also sell kits in the store. Not all phones are tested to work, but many do anyway.
Bit of a cell noob when it comes to this stuff since I've been on a contract for years but I'm tired of paying 90 something odd dollars for just myself so I want to switch to Straight Talk. So if I want a Verizon Note 4 (Verizon is the best service in this area and I need it especially where I'm at) I just buy an unlocked Verizon Note 4 and then get a Straight Talk kit from Wal-Mart to use with it and it's that simple or is there more to it?
Yes. It will work just fine. I've had the same combination for 2 weeks now and works great. One step you will have to do is to create an APN setting on the phone to have working Internet. Just search for Straighttalk ATT APN settings through google. Pretty simple!
Sent from my SM-N910V using XDA Free mobile app
All you need is a ATT Straightalk SIM and that will do the trick. Use APN settings on their website to get working data. Verizon Smartphones in the last year (especially IPhone 5 and above) are compatible with GSM (Straighttalk/Cricket/T-Mobile)
