I'm using my TP in Kuwait/Iraq with my T-mobile SIM card from Germany. I'm getting horrible reception. Anyone know of the best ROM to use here? What about Germay?

When I first got the SG2, the data signal dropped pretty much every time I tried to use it (XWKE2). I upgraded my ROM to (XXKE4) and it seemed to make things much better. I just upgraded to (XXKF2) and it seems to be bad again, but not as bad as the original ROM.
I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this, and if there is a preferred modem ROM for USA AT&T. I'm also in New York City, so this may also be part of the problem.
I am a great noob so plzz don't K.O me .....ma question is since this phone is only US bound, can I buy it and then get it unlocked to use here is England? PS..u guyz over in US always get the good stuff!!why?

Depends on what network you have, cdma or gsm. This phone is on cdma and does not use a simple card.
"We're coming from a pure power source"
No. CDMA networks don't exist in the UK (as far as my English friend recalls and a quick Google search yielded). So it's physically impossible for the phone to work on your networks. Sorry.
Get the One X. It's almost the same as this phone (depending on which processor phone you get) minus the sd card slot and a smaller battery.

I've heard that below the battery there is a SIM card slot. Does anyone know why?

LTE service uses sim cards, so the EVOLTE has one built-in under the battery. It doesn't have a GSM radio, however, so still can't be used in the UK.
This may be a bit of a noob question but I'm new to HTC.
I've imported a DNA into the UK and I'm using my UK SIM without any problems, the only question I have is in the network selection, does anyone know if I should use "Global" or "UMTS/GSM" settings?
I've put my APN settings in for my network and the phone is showing the "H" symbol next to the signal which makes me think I'm getting HSPA but the data speeds seem really slow and I'm unsure if I should change the network selection. There aren't any CDMA networks in the UK or any 700Mhz LTE networks.
Thanks!
I would use GSM/UMTS, but if you are getting an HSPA+ signal than you should be fine on Global.
Can you help me though. I too imported the DNA and I'm using it in London. However my Google Play Store is not working properly. I only have access to the Apps category. I can't access the Music, Books or Movies storefronts even when using their respective apps.
Is yours the same? Can you try it with both your SIM in and not in please. At the moment I haven't got a EE micro SIM to test if my problems are due to a lack of SIM card. So I'm only using it on WiFI.
Thanks.

I've tried accessing Play both with my sim card in and sim card out and it's working fine, just for the record, I'm using a 3 UK sim in the phone and I've not had any problems whatsoever, just as I said, my data speeds seem a little slow compared to what I was getting with my Galaxy S3 with the same sim in it.
The reason mine may be working without the SIM is because I'd already set up Play with the sim in when I got the phone so it's still active without the sim inside. Ur play account may not properly work until you put a sim in the phone.
Hope u get it worked out!
Thanks for the response mate. I will try and get a sim tomorrow to test. One other question, are your app prices in USD$ or UK pounds £?
In regards to your situation I believe that the Droid DNA only supports upto HSPA 14.4 Mbps not the 42 Mbps service on GSM networks so that may be why your experiencing slower speeds.

Ahhh, ok, looks like I'll have to put up with it then, it's not too bad, just noticeable from the speeds I was getting previously. As for the Play issue, I'm getting everything in £ values, if I had to guess I would assume that the phone is recognising the sim as UK originated or that my google account is registered as being in the UK so it's showing me the UK Play store.
The entire Play interface (Apps, Music, Books & Films) including pricing is exactly the same as it was on my Galaxy S3 that I got on contract from 3 but like I said, I put my 3 sim in straight away and it was all fine.
I'm sure once u put a sim in you'll be ok, the phone probably isn't recognising that you're in the UK without the sim card I think. :silly::silly:
Let me know how you get on once you put a sim in it, us UK DNA owners gotta stick together haha
All working. Thanks man.
All the hassle I went through and it was just because I had no SIM lol!
HI
Been looking for some info for ages I am on EE and have ordered a DNA but I am a bit worried if I will get any sort of 3g/hs speeds. I can still cancel the phone but need to know before Tomorrow if this will work for me as there is no point if I can't get any mobile data with this phone.
Has anyone got any info that can help me, EE has a 4G network which is a bit patchy for 4g round here but does work, I am guessing this phone won't work on the UK in 4g, but as I said above as long as it works 3G or HS+ then I will be happy, anyone put my mind at rest lol.
Hi, I'm having trouble trying to find which american carrier i should be using with my e120l phone. I tried going to a tmobile store but they say the phone will only work on edge and i tried putting in an at&t sim when i was running on stock ICS and the internet was really slow.
I'm not opposed to using the phone at 3g or 3.5/4g, but have no idea which, if any carriers in america, offer good internet to this phone. Is there a specific combination of ROM/carrier i can use to make it work?
Thanks for the help!

And you didn't notice this post when you walked in?
Dear Community , I’ve just bought a P9000 smartphone and I’d like to ask a question: as far as I know this dual SIM phone can not support 4G (or even 3G) when both SIM cards are inserted but to me the only way to have 3G or 4G capabilities is to insert the SIM card in slot 1 (the outer one, the same slot of t-flash memory expansion)… Is this behaviour normal? I thought that , with a single SIM card inserted, didn’t matter which slot was used to get 3G or 4G working on phone, and this is a severe issue because if you want 3G/4G capabilities you have to use slot 1 and therefore no more t-flash into the phone… Please, could you help me? I tried with engineering mode (BSPTelephonyDevTool) but no joy at all... Thanks in advance, best regards.
I have always had my sim (Three UK) in slot 2 as I use a 60GB SD card and I have had no problem getting 4G tbh. Altho the 4G connection was never really as fast as I expected & very ocassionally it wouldnt attched to a 4G connection in an area with 4G (but this was kinda very very rare)
Sorry I dont have a solution to your issue, but on a side note I have just installed the Andriod 7 Beta to test it out and I can confirm that the 4G is outstanding on that, even the 3G is way faster with a much much better signal - better than I have ever experienced on any other ROM to date. (same with the GPS, its spot on)
What network are you on & what Stock ROM (I'm assuming your using stock with you just buying it) are you using? the latest Stock?
Thanks for prompt reply, to be honest the phone belongs to my sister... Anyway, the P9000 is on TIM (Telecom Italia Mobile) network operator and android version is Marshmallow 6.0. At the moment the issue still remains, I think that she'll be waiting for Nougat 7.0 to come on OTA...
