4g on straight talk, or am i stuck on 3g? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6

On my other phone i can get 4g with straight talk, now that i have this phone i seem to be stuck on 3g or it says 3g when i have 4g. My friend says because it is sprint that all i will ever get is 3g and i am ok with that, but just wondering if there is a way to get 4g on it through straight talk.

sprint phones dont have a 4g logo, they have 1x, 3g and lte . so when your phone is on gsm itll say hspa or hspap which is 4g, its not 4glte . if you want the 4g logo , edit the build prop to change the name in the line tht says ro.product.name=zerofltespr and delete the spr and put "tmo". itll give you the tmobile icon instead. or type att and itll give you the att icon. im still tryna make gsm lte work. whenever i select lte it tries to connect to the sprint lte which isnt the same and gives us no data at all.

How?
How were you able to put a Sprint S6 on straighttalk? ,i ask because when i check it shows my imei as not compatable for the BYOP service

htc evo reading VERIZON with metro prl

My HTC Evo is reading Verizon wireless when y dial *228 to set up the device.

Sometimes get some american blabla network.
Phone is rooted and with metrodroid 1.2
The cyanogen doesnt give me option to go to ##3424# or ##3282#
And not getting into ##775# at all.
Some help would be appreciated
the ESN is added to metropcs inventory and with a working phone number.
Need it really bad.
thanks
Double check to make sure the Metro PCS PRL sticks. Go to Settings > About Phone > Status and look under PRL.
Also, check to see if your number shows up under "My phone number."

That's strange. How about under MIN? There should be a number that looks like a phone number there.
You could also try going to the Sprint OTA and *228 from there

Metro has a roaming agreement with verizon. When in one of these roaming zones or sometimes when metro is doing some system maintenance this scenario you describe will occur. When you leave that roaming zone or metro finishes with their system maintenance, whatever the case. Your phone should then just go back to working as before.

Im located in Queen-NY where there is pretty good metropcs coverage,
This is a fresh flashing, has not yet work on metro, Im still trying to get to work.

that's why I really need help here.... I have tried few ROM's but it seens to not help at all,,,
Let me ask, is that normal when I go back to QPST -> PPP Config
the Password field be empty? or should there be something that was set before?
Is the prl file to be uploaded to ROAM tab right?
what prl have anybody up running on evo metro?
The EVO will not work on NY. Since there is not PCS band in NY
NY,NJ and some others states only use AWS band which is a new frecuency band not supported by the EVO,
thats why you're on roaming, your EVO can't see any metro network even if you have the latest metro PRL

Cricket SIM in AT&T E980 data issue

Hi all,
Before I rooted and put a costum ROM on this E980, I would get LTE service on this phone with the cricket SIM, about 6-8 mbps, since I put the custom rom on, I dont have any data from the get go, but if I put the cricket APN settings in, I get H+ data but its less then 1 mbps... I need to figure out how to to get the LTE to work on this.
When i try to enter AT&Ts APN settings into the phone, and I hit save, to save the APN settings, it wont save it and everything disappears. I've tried this on 3 different ROMS..
any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
If it was that slow it wasn't LTE. For example when using my Sim in a vzw phone if I set to global it would say LTE but be slow as balls, not send texts. When set properly it said H+ and everything worked

AT&T Caps cricket customers to 8MBps on the LTE network, at&t customers get 40mbps or so. but I'm getting under 1mbps... has to be some sorta setting or APN issue. When it used to say LTE, i was getting close to the cap of 8mbps.
Then try flashing a radio. The ROM itself shouldnt mess with anything like that really

Galaxy 3 T999N signal issue...???????

I have a Samsung galaxy 3 model # SGH T999N.
It was a metropcs phone,but I got it unlocked and now using it on Tmobile network.
Every time I try to use WCDMA/GSM (4G), signals goes to NONE or there are NO SIGNALS at all and nothing works, such as no internet , no calls , no texts. But after a while signals come back ,but does not stay for long and goes blank again or goes back to ZERO.
In other words, I can only use my phone on GSM (edge) network ,but that is very slow.
I got this phone unlocked from a local store and I DO NOT KNOW which rom they used,but I do see a SUPERUSER TROJAN HORSE on my phone. Therefore, I think it is rooted.
When I tried to use SOFTWARE UPDATE, there was a message saying that my phone was modified....
Any ides how can I get full signals so I can use 4G network.

Verizon Users Need Your Help. Have Dual Sim Setup

Just got the OP3 trying see if I can live with it on Verizon in US who is my main carrier. I also have ATT US sim in the sim2 slot and I show LTE on it. Here is what I cant figure out:
- I want VZW (sim1) for voice & text only knowing I cannot get LTE anymore. Yes I get voice and text from my first 3 hrs testing
- I want ATT (sim2) for all data
1. VZW what network type do I want in Sim1 setting? Global
2. ATT same here what network type do I need?
I found that when I am on a call sim1 I cannot surf web, etc, no data and I get ! on ATT sim2...but I have ATT sim2 set for my data not working on a call?
Use Textra for texing and single sends fine:
3. With this setup can I do not MMS text anymore well large character text msg?
4. Do I need to use another app?
Any help if you a Verizon user with dual sims would help...thx
Your data is not working on Verizon therefore you cannot receive MMS. Can't use att data to download a msg that was sent through Verizon's network. In regards of global. Verizon is CDMA so try setting it to that and I'm not sure about Att. This phone is not a good choice for verizon

Thx. I am finding this out... I think I am going to port my number over to ATT. I just like to coverage of verizon since I travel the US but ATT has some up some.
Only thing that hold me VZW when I am out in the rural VZW still works when others have no service...maybe due to their older CDMA networks I guess.

Unlocked Sprint Note 5 on AT&T

So I recently move service over to AT&T. I have an unlocked Note 5 from Sprint (SM-N920P). It activated fine, but it did not have Data. I created the new APN and now I have 3G data.
I can not get 4g coverage anywhere... I should be able to use bands 2 and 4 with ATT&T. I have made sure LTE is enabled in ##3282#
Also, (this just started happening) when someone calls me, their number shows up as +86 5237-1234 instead of (865)237-1234
Oh, and update profile and update PRL seem to call sprint servers still because they wil not connect and error out.
Any ideas?
