[Q] SGS2 behaves differently with different SIM's (even on WiFi!!!) - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
i just noticed something strange:
Normally, i am on O2 (Germany), which officially allows SIP calling.
I just put in a T-Mobile (Germany) SIM and noticed, that csipsimple couldn't register. Ok, i thought, T-Mobile doesnt support this.
So i switched on Wifi.... and still no connection possible!!! I tried it 2 times, with the o2 SIM everythings fine, with T-Mobile it won't connect.
Found that very strange....Is the network provider somehow able to enforce some restrictions (e.g. no SIP protocols) on the device!??

[Q] Unlocked T-Mobile Germany with UK Tmob SIM roaming

Hi All
I have an unlocked (not debranded though) HTC 7 Mozart which is branded to T-Mobile Germany.
I have put in a UK T-Mobile SIM...and in the UK it has been working fine voice, data etc.
However, when I first went overseas with it (Italy) the data connection did not work at all..got the text message saying need a booster package etc. to use roaming data.
Responded to text to enabled data booster and T-Mobile acknowledged active...but when trying to browse internet it says "page not found" (rather than showing agreement splash screen) and emails are not syncing.
Checked that roaming enabled (yes) and also tried 3 operators (Telecom Italia, 3 and WIND) but all no good.
Wanted to check APN settings but Windows Phone 7 will not allow it (only option to add a new APN!) :-(
Other people with Tmob UK SIMs (different handsets such as Nokia E72) were working fine.
Any ideas as to what is going wrong ? (maybe Tmob Germany handset with Tmob UK SIM is not good ?).
Thanks

Looks as though the answer was to Add APN with the correct UK APN settings - I think the T-Mobile German ROM must have an embedded German APN (not visible though) which you have to override by doing an Add APN.

[Q] My Atrix 4G does't connect to mobile internet

Hello,
I have an unlocked AT&T motorola atrix 4g mobilephone in Spain. If I put inside it a Vodafone SIM card I can connect to the internet (3G) without any problem after setting the APNs, but when I try it with a Euskaltel SIM card (an Spanish virtual mobile network provider that uses the Vodafones network) I can't connect to the internet (3G) even if I set the correct APNs.
The problem is not the SIM card because it works in a Nexus S after setting the APNs, and as I have said, the Atrix also connects to the internet with a Vodafone SIM card. But Euskaltel+Atrix doesn't work.
The wierd thing is that after I set the APNs, or activate the internet roaming, sometimes appears the arrows that it is connected but just for a few seconds and then dissapear, but even with the arrows if I open quickly the web browser it claims that doesn't have internet connection.
I have tried with other ROMs and the same thing happens, and also with an AOSP ROM like CM7 beta, there is no way to make it work.
Does any one have any kind of clue to solve this?
Regards and thank you

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Try creating a new apn & call the first field "euskaltel" & the second one "internet", leave the rest as they are, click save & activate it. That worked for me a couple of months ago with a yoigo card.
It doesn't work, but thank you anyway

[Q] Force SGS2 to think it is not Roaming

Hello,
Have tried searching xda-developers, google, and apps to no avail.
My SGS2 thinks I am roaming when I am not, so certain Apps will not work as they were intended.
Is there anyway and or app that would override the phone/sim to think I am not roaming.
Thanks in advance for any solutions.
There is a option in settings-wireless and network-mobile network... Data roaming, untick that, i do not know if it does anything for you, and maybe choose automatic network selection, according to sim... other than that, i wouldn't know... It is strange if its roaming all the time in a home network...
When un-checking Data Roaming the phone will no longer connect to Data services as it thinks it is Roaming.
If selecting the network or leaving it to automatic it makes no difference.
I had this same issue before with other phones and was hoping with Apps or Root Access I would be able to finally force the phone to think it was not Roaming.
Did you by any chance use same sim card on all of your phones ? if yes, contact you service provider, because no phone should think its roaming all the time. I doubt it its up to the phone, as apps go, i've haven't heard of any, but if i find anything i'll post it..
Yes I have used the same Sim. It is not one of the main local providers in Spain (Movistar, Vodafone, Orange) but rather Simyo which is owned by KPN (major Dutch company). Simyo only sells sim cards on the Internet and are extremely cheap.
I have checked with the service provider and it is something they force, in that Data connection will only work when phone is set to Roaming. Internet, and Skype works but Rebtel will not activate as it thinks I am roaming.
I have this same issue.
Just upgraded my SGSII (GT I9100M) from the stock Bell firmware to Android 2.3.6 XXKL1 Firmware. After the upgrade it thinks it's roaming when it isn't.

Set preferred GSM Network

I am in the UK on Virgin, which uses the T-Mobile Network. Recently they have been having issues in my area, meaning I can only intermittently access the t-mobile signal, and even when I can, I cant receive incoming calls (Although I can make them).
Theoretically its not a problem as I can roam onto the Orange network by manually selecting the network. However, it seems that as soon as the t-mobile network is available, the phone automatically reverts to it and my problems start all over again.
Is there any way I can force it to stay connected to Orange? Or can I set Orange as the preferred network?
I am running the ressurection remix 4.0.4 rom.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Pebrey
It's not much help to you I know, but I had the reverse issue (on Orange, wanted to use T-Mobile) and according to all the searching I did and a call to Orange, it cant be done; it needs a change to the SIM card. I ended up changing network instead!
Orange and T-Mobile have merged together to form Everything Everywhere, so if your being put on orange or T-Mobile that's just your phone selecting the network with the best coverage
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Cannot get my sim to stay on tmobile, keeps changing to tmobile orange, which is useless if u want to use your mobile internet. Would like a way for it to stick to tmobile!?

Help me resetting SIM/Network settings

(X/Post From Oneplus 6 Forum)
Hello,
Yesterday I called my network operator since I was the only one in the office (compared to others with the same network operator) unable to receive calls.
The support made me receive a Network Configuration SMS, I applied it and immediatly the SIM started to turn on and off (see link):
https://imgur.com/a/uLAhcDU
As of now, my SIM works on other phones, other SIM (from same and different network operator) works on my phone. Looks like a configuration issue directly connected to my SIM/IMEI.
Tried to reset what I've been able to reset, and to reflash ROM. The only option left is to factory reset, but I'd not like to.
Is there a way to reset the SIM configuration? I am rooted if needed.
Thank you!
