For the record I did it before without any issue at all. Don't think it matters. Just only the newer one will work after.

The answer is very simple... $$$$$

It probably will be enforcing. That's now the default in KitKat itself. http://developer.android.com/about/versions/kitkat.html#44-security

They do ask for your DOB and SS during signup.

Can confirm this does work. Once signed up for Serve, took about 5 minutes for the card to fully activate on ISIS and about 5 minutes after that, boom $50. Awesome. Thanks, OP. :good:

I see things like this a bunch and it puzzles me, I've been using Sandisk cards for what feels like forever and I've never had problems with them and Samsung phones, and that's 4 different models, maybe I'm just lucky or something. Can't say I agree entirely. I definitely noticed improvements...

Verizon isn't removing Band 4 and it has nothing to do with pricing, there are no other costs, it's merely added bandwidth capacity. Enabling Band 4 in the service menu lets it the phone search for and connect to it like it does anything else. Forcing it, which can be done following the same...

I am more than aware and did so weeks ago. I have 4 or 5 posts in the AWS thread if you ever read it, hence my emphasis on officially. The question was if this finally makes it by default for the masses an AWS LTE capable device. Also some people claim it only works when they force it, even when...

Wonder if this will 'officially' turn on Band 4.

Funny enough poking around today in Philly, found....15Mhz now.

Philly has had band 4 VZ LTE for a little while now, it's worked at least ever since the GS4 had it unlocked a few weeks ago anyway, however unlike NYC at 20 it only seems to be 10Mhz channel here. Best I can seem to do on it is 26/18 on the Note 3. It certainly works best outdoors where I can...

Couple of things. Remember as I started with the baseband in i545 when on LTE really wants to use CDMA as the default so when it's searching it's not going to obtain GSM as instantaneous As it otherwise would. Don't see any specific way of that getting patched ever as we're going against the...

For anyone else this is an easy way as well.

Use this app, hit Device Information, and change the dropdown to LTE/GSM (auto PRL). Given the simplicity not sure you need much more of a walk through than that. A video would require a bunch of editing to blot out IMEI and phone #s.

Just stock actually. Nothing special.

Pretty sure they are signed differently so I don't think you can in the first place, and even still different frequencies despite same hardware so in your words fail miserably. The fact that it works in stock fine means it's not a baseband issue just a SIM provisioning piece that's missing in...

Theoretically it should be GSM/WCDMA /LTE... however I've only gotten LTE Data in the AOSP roms I tried, but I haven't tried extensively. You can also get to the standard testing app via the *#*#4636#*#* for the LTE/GSM (AUTO PRL) but both are the same really

Unfortunately I some how missed this thread when I started mine on this topic. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2518347 In short you need to go into the testing menu and change the dropdown to LTE/GSM (auto PRL) which is not an option in the TW UI. The baseband on i545 assumes...

That makes sense on a personal level, but realistically the number of people doing that is statistically insignificant. I have a hard time believing anyone's 'developer edition' device has sold much more than a rounding error.

How exactly? A Note 3 sale is a sale, it's the same device. It costs them pennies practically in extra work. They don't care from that end. It's whatever their contract is with Verizon that matters.

After happily using my 'old' S4 on T-Mobile with HSPA+ since having the Note 3 as my primary line, I was naturally excited to update the baseband and unlock Band 4 LTE. However I noticed some caveats which I've now solved which will undoubtedly confuse everyone at some point. Assuming you've...

I did, it took a few reboot cycles over a day or so to get everything settled but all is great/back to normal now. Update wiped my cache, that's probably why, had to rebuild.

Has anyone used the S4 on CM 10.2 with a non-Verizon SIM (aka TMO)? Long shot I know... It picks up the TMO APN correctly and flies on TMO LTE (yay band 4), but it still has my phone # as unknown and won't text so I'm feeling like it's not really activated properly.

I've confirmed it twice that it's not in the update, as we have both Tmo and VZ LTE in Band 4 here. VZ speeds stayed the same post update and my TMO Sim will only go to H+ vs my VZ-GS4 which goes up to LTE on the TMO SIM.

No Band 4 LTE yet, FYI.

This update can now be pulled OTA.

In case anyone was wondering it does also work on T-Mobile. Here's band 4 T-Mobile LTE on the stock Verizon S4.

Come on folks, obviously the new Google apps are making use of the API's in 4.4 that aren't going to work properly on 4.3. This is the reason even something like Maps has different current versions floating around depending what you're running. There's going to be bugs just side loading this...

That's because forcing an LTE band switches the phone to LTE only mode. When you're done playing you have to go back to LTE/GSM/CDMA (auto PRL) or you will end up with data only.

Second number enables the service menu in some cases according to the other how to thread.

*#2263# is the correct band selector menu. Not sure why it wouldn't work. Can you get to the full menu at *#197328640# ? It sounds like you may not have fully enabled the hidden Samsung service menu. Could try *#22745927

I was on MDK, took the latest radio. Still noticed I was on 700Mhz Band 13 via *#0011# I then did the other, *#2263#, and hit option 4 for LTE band preference and forced it to Band 4. It connected but was really weak and dropped out. Guess I'm on the fringe of it here in the office. Will have...

Bingo.

Has anyone found these on Samsung's website yet? Amazing even Verizon and 4rd parties are rolling them out at this point and I still don't see Samsung direct yet.

Thanks. :good: My recommendation certainly won't cure everyone's battery problem but if you are seeing high Google related usage it will help. Something is definitely not right. Do you use GSAM, BetterBatteryStats, or CPU Spy? Definitely sounds like your phone is not entering Deep Sleep or an...

You don't need to go that far. There definitely are still issues with Google Wifi Network Location, but turning them all off means nothing gets even a general location and that gets annoying too. The real issue is the constant polling and syncing with Google your location. All you need to do is...

So doubled you'd get 4+ hours screen on and 23 hours of operation. Seems pretty normal to me. Of course it goes a lot deeper into what uses battery so comparisons are general anyway. GSAM tells me my average life is about 21 hours, +/- ... Today's the first day I've seen a noticeable improvement...

What do you mean? You've gone 11.5 hours on 48% of the battery? What's wrong with that?

I have found a lot of this is determined more by the Exchange Server itself for whatever the reason. I have 3 Exchange accounts loaded and one of them can do what you both describe from time to time. The easy answer is change the sync from Push to 1 or 2 hours if you can. That will help. Push is...

^THIS! My battery life has been great aside from any sort of gaming. Even ~10 mins of killing time with Candy Crush or something knocks 10% off instantly, not even Netflix does that.

My only complaint so far is there's noticeable lag/hesitation turning the screen on and off. Verizon didn't tamper with much actually and I approve of the 1 list in settings. :good:

You're lucky. Mine did go Out for Delivery this morning, but an hour ago hit the dreaded not due for delivery. C'est la vie. Enjoy.

A poor personal choice, irrelevant. Verizon has been consistent with 10/10. Pretty silly to sell something with no backup knowing odds of an early delivery were slim. Doesn't everyone have an old phone lying around somewhere these days? lol, this is the one that cracks me up. So what? Yours...

The first wave of devices that are imported were pushed to regional/local DCs and fulfilled for preorders. Memphis is the import location from abroad so those probably have just arrived and are being fulfilled directly before filtering down through the usual channels first.

LOL. Things like this make me laugh. Kudos for the effort I guess but seriously, you can't wait 24 hours at this point?

Mine's been sitting at the 'last mile' facility since 5pm last night. Still have no expectations it's coming today though.

"At destination sort facility" aka it should deliver tomorrow.... Will it? Probably not.

Spoke too soon, rechecked VZ account and boom, tracking number.

And i ordered in the 1st hour on 9/6, ha. Not really worried though.

Interesting, I was charged yesterday, but still no tracking, even manually in FedEx, have to see how it plays out.
