So a few days ago I posted on here about getting my Chinese bought LGP503 working with the android app store. Using the tips I got from people on here I successfully flashed it to the UK LGP500 firmware and presto the store worked great! However, later that day I realized my 3G here in China wasn't working anymore. At first I chalked it up to quake related internet problems we've been having but then I talked to other people whose 3G was working just fine.
So I figured there was something up with my firmware not being compatible with the 3G here. I know that China has some different internet 3G standards from time to time but I've had friends pop a Chinese SIM card into an American Blackberry or other Smart Phone and it work just fine. So following this logic I finally, through no easy process, found and flashed the US T-Mobile firmware. Flashed fine and booted up great but still no 3G. Does anyone have a clue about whats going on with this? I really don't want to flash firmware again if I don't have to and I'm having trouble even finding the Chinese firmware now (the guide doesn't want to work for the Chinese firmware), plus I really like the way the T-Mobile stuff is setup, good apps and all.
I'm on China Mobile in Hubei Provence, China if that helps anyone any!
Thanks in advance.
Try creating a new apn from one of ur friends 3g settings..
Hi,
I just got my docomo SIM with unlimited data plan.
But somehow i and the guy from the docomo shop couldn't get the data to work. APN is set to spmode.ne.jp
Here are my info:
Galaxy s2 international version.
CyanogenMod7
Maybe someone has some idea why it doesn't work?
Ask question in Cyanogen forum .

This question was there already asked but not answered.
Anyways, i reverted back to stock rom and the problem persits. So it's not a problem of cm.
Is it possible that the s2 doesn't work in japan? In detail, that data doesn't work? Calls work very well.
If someone got the german/international version to work with data in japan please tell me.
Hi,
I bought my galaxys2 in France and unlocked it. It is now potentially possible to use it with any carrier (and I tested it with two other french carriers)
However, I am going to Japan for my job for at least a few years and since my phone is only a few month old, I'd like to keep on using it in Japan.
It is my understanding that if in "about phone" setting window the phone version is "GT-I9000", it means that I have the "international version" of the phone.
Is that right ?
If so, will it work with any japanese carrier (docomo, au, softbank...) ?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed some light on this because it is quite hard to find answers about this issue...
Hi all,
First off, thanks for your help in advance, I find it great that communities like this are content with a simple thumbs up and don't require the contents of my wallet like the bastards at Apple. My problem is probably quite simple, but it's beyond me, so I'd appreciate your help.
Basically, I bought a Galaxy S Plus in India some years back and it's been my primary phone ever since. It worked fine with any SIM I put into it in India and made texts and calls as usual. Here's the issue. About a week ago I moved to the UK and my wife gave me her LycaMobile SIM to use with the phone. I put it in, but my phone wouldn't make any texts or calls, the phone showed some bars for signal for a few seconds but they quickly disappeared. I know the SIM works, because we tested it in her Nexus 4 and my friends Galaxy S2, leading me to believe the phone is at fault.
I tried several other SIMS in the phone, both UK and India based, but still no luck. My guess is that it has something to do with baseband, but as I said, I'm really not sure.
Thanks again for any help.

I think thats not the problem, google says that india and the united kingdom have the same gsm-bands (900/1800).
Hello, First post here on Xda, Nice to meet you all.
I'm looking for some serious help with my new samsung galaxy S3GSMH International version.
Long story short, My girlfriend lives in germany, While on holiday there I purchased a samsung galaxy s3i9300 and was told it will work in any region any network due to being factory unlocked.
In germany I was using a sim card from VIVA mobile or something of the like and it worked fine.
After I returned home, I switched in my UK Vodafone sim card, A message then popped up saying, Please select sim service:vodafone UK/Vodafone UK prepaid.
So I chose Vodafone UK and clicked on OK, I thought everything was fine untill i tried to make a call and got, Not registered on network.
Now I have searched for days in all types of threads to get this fixed, I have tried flashing stock firmware with odin/emergency recovery Via Kies/Flashing modems/flashing patched modems/patched kernals/Ariza patch/Ariza patch Jb.
My Imei is fine and matches under the battery, The S/N also matches under the battery.
So I just don't understand it, If it asked me to choose which sim service surely that means it has some type of connection with the network? I have full signal bars too.
Is there anything else i need to do to get this working? Because I am at a loss, And I obviously can't take it back due to the shop being in germany
Any help or input is extremely appreciated!
Hi guys! Can someone call by phone with this device?
I live in Spain and I have purchased, 4 days ago, this tablet, in Amazon Italy, because in Spain don´t sell this model. I have got a Note Pro 12.2 and works well phoning calls.
When I bought this tablet I thought that would be the same, but I can´t find the green icon with the phone, nor the dialer. I only see the CONTACTS icon and I push on the numbers and everything else, and is impossible call by phone.
I have talked with Samsung Italy and they said that is possible to phoning with, they insist that works with Europeans SIM´s correctly.
I put the SIM into the slot and the tablet recognise it, all the symbols are right, 4G and the triangle with the four bars. I tried phoning with other phone to the SIM of the tablet and give the signal ok, but the tablet don´t do anything, it does not sound, but everything seems to be going well...
The tablet is in warranty and I don´t want flashing by odin ( does anybody know if this device has the famous counter of flashing rom?)
The actual ROM is T677XXU1AOJC. I tried with Kies and it installed the same rom (PDA: 0K5, CSC: 0K5, PHONE OJC (ITV)
I have got a SGS 4 too, from Rumania, and never gives troubles.
If somebody know´s something about this, please, tell me, because I don´t know what to do!
Sorry for my bad english and thanks!

Thank you!
Do you know if using Hangouts Dialer, the call is through the SIM or through some VOIP as Viber, Whatsapp or similar (by wifi) ?

With respect to the calls of the Galaxy View SM-T677, I can not find any information. I hope the hardware will allow it. Then I can only wait for some developer to make a rom with this possibility. I read in the instruction manual that the version that Verizon marketed, allows to make calls and send messages through the telephone operator. I have also read in posts that other tablets like the Nexus 7 3G and the HTC Flyer 3G had the same problem and I think it was solved with a new rom, although I'm not sure.
I understand it is a very new tablet and not many people have it.
I keep waiting if someone, in some country, can make calls.
Thank you!
