I am having this issue too. I even went and got a new sim card hoping that would help, but still on hspa. I've talked to 4 different tech support people who tell me the imei says my phone can't use lte. After telling them repeatedly that it does, they tell me since it shows up as an unknown devixe in their systems, the imei needs to be provisioned kn their end and that it could take up to 2 weeks.
I am going to yet another store today to see if they have any sort of workaround for this. It is so frustrating. It worked when i put my sim in there the first time, but when i called to update my imei, now it's just hspa. So annoyed right now.

Let me know how that goes please.

@lazzygregg and @coolhandz...To make a veeeerrrrryyyy long story short, you will have to activate a sim in another phone(iPhone is what I used), and once you have LTE and everything working, remove the sim from the other phone and put it in your Pixel. You will have LTE, I promise. Att will never give you att if you give them the imei for your Pixel, I tried for 3 days straight before giving up.

The problem with putting the sim in your wife's Pixel is, you will have to give att an imei from the first phone that you use to activate the new sim. Once they have the imei from a Pixel you will never get LTE. Surely you have another phone laying around.?

ok understood!
i'll try my nexus 6p or oneplus 3
thx!

So i went to an AT&T store just now. Told rep my whole story and my plan to get a new sim that is unactivated to put into an iPhone first. He played with account settings first and nothing changed. Then he took a new sim and activated it in his own galaxy s6 edge. Same deal. Hspa+ only. I told him I'd just take a new sim to try what my friends here on XDA said to do. He then grabbed a new sim, stuck it in a floor model iPhone 6s plus, activated it, it had lte, then he put it into my Verizon Pixel XL.....voila! It worked! He was stunned to say the least. I said thank you very much, walked out, and now am enjoying my new Pixel XL with LTE on at&t.
Thank you everyone.

I'm glad you got it working @coolhandz

Use Verizon Note 4 on AT&T?

As Verizon is charging $700 compared to the 800+ at&t is charging for an off contract note 4 I was wondering if its possible to use the off contract verizon Note 4 on AT&T. I have a mobile share plan with AT&T with other lines still in contract so I can't easily switch to verizon or I would. Does anyone know?

How would one use a CDMA device on a GSM network??
It was my understanding that all Verizon phones now had a SIM slot for LTE Compatibility? I assumed if the Sim slot was unlocked you'd be able to put an AT&T sim card in and configure carrier settings and get access but wanted to confirm?

Most modern Verizon phones have GSM radios in it, and it's unlocked.
The problem with using Verizon's Note 4 on AT&T is LTE. They don't have the same radio, so you'd be stuck on AT&T's 3G.
This was the conversation I had with an AT&T rep today. She was convinced I could just buy the Note 4 from VZW at $699 and bring it over to AT&T... she didn't mention, nor did she seem to be aware that LTE would not work.
Yes well, it all depends on the ATT LTE Band that's in use in your area. I have a VZW S5 that's on ATT prepaid pulling LTE all day. Band 7 I believe.
Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk
VZW phones generally have radios with some overlapping LTE band coverage with both ATT and TMO. AWS Band 4 I believe is used by all 3 carriers but not in all areas of the US.
Unfortunately VZW mainly uses Band 13 and ATT band 17 although supposedly Samsung devices have this enabled in the Hidden Menus but I have never gotten band 17 on ATT.
My 2 cents
Verizon's website says their model supports bands 4 and 13. The AT&T website says their model supports bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 17, 20, and 29. From what I remember, AT&T's primary LTE bands are 4 and 17 so if Verizon is being completely truthful and it doesn't support any other bands other than 4 and 13, your LTE coverage may be spotty or even completely non existent.
Verizon Note 4 is out now...
Anyone have a report yet?
I can confirm verizon note 4 is working on at&t & tmobile.
I just got my verizon note 4 today and i put my tmobile sim in it and i had to do apn settings and it worked fine the only problem is lte is not working it worked on hspa and my speeds were 6mb down and 2.5 mb up. Which is good for me.
But if u want to use lte u have to enable band 4 which is locked on verizon model. To enanble it u neef to root ur phone with chainfire root (it's the only method to root right now) but it will trip knox sensor and void ur warranty .
And same applies for at&t. No lte but 6mb on hsps looks good to me.

U just need to enter the right apn settings. I'm getting mms just fine on straight talk. My problem is that our phones support air view with pen and finger, and yet they buried the setting so deep we need root to access it and make it stick. I used nova launcher to access the setting but it turns back off once the phone is put to sleep. Stupid! Just let us decide If we want it or not!!!

At least you got it to work finally. :good:
Just ported my work number (verizon) to my personal account (ATT) and they let me keep my note 4. I used the APN settings for the ATT S5 and am getting around 10mbps/down and 2-5mbps/up. I'm not rooted yet but will be working on that to see if I can get LTE functional.
I use Hangouts for SMS so that was already working.

So the Note 4 requires root to enable the service menus in order to enable the various bands available on the phone. Verizon has chosen to restrict this access. You need to modify the build.prop and the efs\carrier\hiddenMenu file. So until a root procedure is available the retail version is stuck with HSPA+, which isn't too bad I guess.
Working on my s5 I have made the changes but I am still figuring out how to exactly turn on the disabled bands. I am also hoping these modifications will apply to the Note 4 once root is available.

You have to modify the APN settings after you put the ATT sim in the VZW phone.

I'm wondering if anyone has tried flashing the phone with ATT's firmware. Perhaps this is a more benign method which, as a plus, would show ATT logos throughout the interface. I'm having a verizon note 4 given to me; I'm considering my options.

OnePlus 3 AT&T No LTE

I have had my OP3 for over a week now and this whole time I can not get LTE service. It is just stuck on HSPA. I called AT&T and went to an authorized retailer and a device support center and my problem was not resolved. I contacted OnePlus as well but again got no solution.
HSPA is not too slow, as the download speeds are about 6 Mbps, which is tolerable. But LTE speeds are just so much quicker. One thing I thought I would try is dialing *#*#4636#*#* and checking in the settings in that menu. Under "Preferred Network Type," it says "GSM auto (PRL)," and every time I try changing it to an LTE option it just automatically goes back to the GSM auto option.
Does anybody have any solutions? Any help would be appreciated. Also, my APN settings are 100% correct, they have been checked/changed numerous times.

Yeah change your IMEI back to the one you used for your previous phone. Then swap your sim to the other slot.

AT&T changed it for you? All I had to do was reboot after they changed it on their end and i was good to go. Don't know why you would swap sim trays though. Doesn't matter which one it is, both pick up LTE.

Once I provided the OP3 IMEI-1 to ATT, the phone would only get H using the sim in the 1st tray. Even after I got them to switch it back to my N6 IMEI. Once I put the sim in tray 2, LTE started working again.
I have straight talk which is a MVNO using ATT and I had just H service and it changed to lte service after an hour or so.
I kinda hate my one plus 3 when its off wifi, its always slow speeds and im on AT&T... Here in Oklahoma City.... My google nexus 6p never had this issue it didn't seem... ugh can anyone help?

Will this phone work on Verizon

Hi guys,
I am looking into getting this device. However I am not sure if I can use it with verizon. I had a little chat today with a verizon rep after shipping my note 7 back and I got told that I could now use any phone with verizon as long as it has a sim-card slot and one of the regular sim sizes (microSIM and nanoSIM).
Anyone tried it with verizon?
I belive its gsm networks

According to Verizon I can use any unlocked phone which accepts a SIM card....
Its a lot of money to be stuck with as paper weight
I also would like to know this.
Voice and SMS Only so far for me.
No LTE as VZW requires Band 13 for BYOD phones and this phone does not have 13.
It does have EV-DO so 3g should work but I can't get it to.
Ah to bad. Such an amazing phone. Just crazy that the world can't unite and standardize frequency bands and protocols. We were able to have shipping containers and the cigarette lighter plugs standardized . Too bad that we can't do it here.

Network Name in Status Bar: VzW and Verizon Wireless

So this is a relatively minor issue, but still one that's kind of puzzling.
Recently my Pixel XL's (Verizon model) network name in the top left of the lock screen has said 'Verizon Wireless' most of the time, except for when I was connected via Wi-Fi calling, where it indicated 'Verizon Wireless Wi-Fi Calling'.
However, now it seems to say 'VzW' as the network name most of the time, occasionally switching to 'Verizon Wireless', and when on wi-fi it still indicates 'Verizon Wireless Wi-Fi Calling'.
Is this strange phenomenon happening to anyone else?
It's based on the APN & PRL settings that display the network name based on the tower you're connected too. Maybe there is a new tower in your area, or Verizon is doing testing on a tower there. You could call them and ask what's up.

Question for you... What band are you normally on with Verizon? in mainly on 4. Also anyway you can post your son settings? and did you get a new Verizon sim activated with the pixel or were you on previous Verizon phone and just swapped your sim in? i was previous on nexus 6p and just swapped my sim in. Maybe I should get a new sim. Also..do you have any options for video calling?

Interesting... although I have traveled in a few different cities. Upstate NY, NYC, and South Florida and it has been VzW for all of these, only occasionally going back to Verizon Wireless. I think there may be a component where what is being displayed get stuck in a sense.
What are the general locations of everyone else who is experiencing this?

Questions about moving to AT&T

Hey everyone,
I was just gifted a Verizon M9 with s-off. It's currently running Lineage OS and TWRP. I don't have Verizon service myself, and I tried to throw my wife's AT&T nano sim in there (I have a micro sim and don't want to cut it unless I know it's going to work). For a few seconds I got fast H+ network access, before the data signal cut out. I've read online that the Verizon M9 should be GSM sim unlocked out of the box. I tried several APN's, but none of them brought back the data connection.
Am I missing a step? Is this not something that can be done? Is this an issue since she has a real AT&T sim, but it won't be an issue if I cut down my black wireless sim?
Well, my new Black Wireless sim came in and it worked just fine. Now I'm off to see if I can unlock some LTE bands.
Were you able to get AT&T LTE to work on the Verizon version? I was curious for a friend who might grab this phone and switch Straight Talk networks later.
I'm still working on that. I band unlocked the phone and my phone will connect to AT&T LTE for 1-5 minutes, then it loses all signal until I manually switch it to GSM again. I feel like the issue is at Black Wireless, but they don't want to add my IMEI to their database since it's a Verizon phone.
I also have a Verizon HTC One M9 and am using it on Cricket (which is owned and operated by AT&T). I'm able to keep a signal. H+ most of the time. If I manually reset the network, then do a network search then select Cricket, the signal will reset to 4G LTE for a few hours or until I get a call. After the call it gets stuck on H+.
I'm not rooted and s-off....yet.
Great phone though. If I didn't have Cricket I'd just settle for H+ all the time.
Hopefully this thread will pick up and we'll get some help staying locked into LTE
---------- Post added at 07:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 PM ----------
I did see a thread around here with a tutorial on how to edit the bands in the phone and even add more bands. But you have to be rooted.
I'm going to try it when I get the spare $25 for the Sunshine app.
From my experience tearing down my VZW M9, I think that the VZW version has a completely different antenna. When I replaced my USB port, I noticed the VZW version only has one antenna connector going to the USB connector, where the GSM versions you see in tear down videos have two.

There was a thread where someone mentioned to edit some folders in setup, I think, and relabel Verizon to whatever GSM you're switching to.
But I can't find it.
