New lot Verizon S3 Phones are Not Compatible with GSM

Just Data Works & No Calls or SMS

Easiest way to get DATA is to root the Phone

Install Hiapn & Just Press the Auto Detect & the Job is Done

^I guess you need to have network mode as Global to avoid "com.phone.android..." force closes!

I have the Latest New Model Of Verizon S-3, i followed Javed Steps and it worked , I have been using it for 3 days without any problem.I feel the settings are holding because we are hard-writing the APN through EF explorer and restoring the backup.

Hope someone solved the CDMA data to atleast 1X or 3G through a CDMA SIM.

Hi javed bhai, in the line to be edited it mentions bsnl. Is is the same for airtel?? or should the line be exactly what you mentioned for any networks??

Javeed Sahib , it is a very good Tutorial and it is working wonders but i beg to differ and i want to suggest few things like:

1. APN name anything to whichever service provider you are hooked on to.

2. Numeric should be MCC+MNC ,Assuming it for Airtel karnataka : MCC is 404 and MNC is 045 so numeric becomes 404045. i have tried it and the signal strength for data is very good.

3. Again as you have put MNC for Airtel as 066, it is right in your place , but for other states it should be according to their states MNC.

Thanks brother ,

i have no idea about MCC & MNC for other place. i gave u BSNL as example.

For CDMA user :: TATA Docomo & MTS tested data working on SIM mode, no need to program for both.

There is a new way to use i535 on gsm. Revert to complete stock, root, unlock bootloader with ez. Download i747 ics rom available on xda without radio. Again, wuthout radio. And flash ion recovery. Bang, u have a gsm working perfectly fine. But just rmmbr not to update in future via ota. Currently using same rom on my vzw.

Try phone info app from market and select gsm/wcdma netwrk and check if it helps. If it still doesnt then it must be coz of a different radio firmware in ur handset. try this meanwhile i will check on radio part and get back to u
