I don't know if anyone can answer this or not. But I have a bell I9000M running KC1 right now. I have moved to australia and have rooted the phone and got a Telstra SIM. I get mobile calling but no data. I don't get a data icon in the notification bar and ping test fails as well as no APN settings.
I have tried the BMC, VMC, and BWA in the pre-config.
Any ideas?
Hold the phone counter-clockwise and upside down?
But seriously, it might have to do with the cellular bands down there--might be a fix out there, or you are semi-screwed.
Might want to ask on the i900 forums. Most of us have t959

I have an i9000m in Australia and it appears to work fine on the Telstra Next G network (only have a short time). A few things you need:
1) Telstra Next G Sim
2) APN details for Telstra Internet
3) Ensure packet data is turned on
Hope this helps.

If you have no apn set up how do you expect to have data? That is like the basic thing.

I have put in APN details as per Telstra advice and also many other options found in various forums - I can receive MMS but not send. Just continues to say "sending" ad infinitum.
not sure wtf is wrong. any ideas. data packet on. notification bar constantly flicking on/off with the little 3G/'H' symbol.

Hi
I have my nice new SGS2 but there is no option for network roaming, only data roaming. In order for me to use orange network i need to re-scan and select tmobile/orange, but only get "G" data connection. When i rescan and select Tmobile i get full "H" data connection. Is this normal or am i missing a setting where it will automatically switch. I have set it to automatically but it does not switch between the two. (it's a PAYG O2 handset but unlocked)
Any ideas or will i just have to switch it all the time. Not a real problem as its onyl in my place of work that t-mobile signal is awful yet orange is fine.
Thanks
I think Everything Everywhere rolled out to everyone automatically but by the sounds of it you were missed out. As you're on T-Mobile you can sign up here:

For anyone on Orange, sign up here:
https://kareena.orange.co.uk/signal/
Also, if you haven't ticked the data roaming then tick it! You won't move to any other network than Orange in the UK. Just remember to turn it off when you leave the country.

Done that but still it does not switch to orange when i have no t-mobile signal. If i do it manually it shows great orange signal....just does not automatically switch...
It won't switch automatically if there is a T-Mo signal available no matter how weak or strong.
Or is there no signal available to you with T-Mobile?

I can't say for the SGS2 but I can tell you how it is on my Hero, and im guessing it should be same on the SGS2 as its an Android setting ...
If you're on T-Mobile, as I am, then scan your network and select "T-Mobile" only and tick the Data Roaming option. That's the only option you need and it's the only option available. This should then automatically switch over to Orange only when you can't access a T-Mobile signal. You'll know its done it as your network will be displayed as Orange as opposed to T-Mobile.
This is how it works on my phone and it works fine. It should be the same on the SGS2 as well.
Also apparently you'll only get "G" or "E" connections on the Orange signal. That's all they are allowing at the moment.
Hi, I have a Hero and that switches fine but the sgs2 will just show no network when i lose tmobile and not switch to orange. I see that if i get orange manually i will only get "G", its just the automatic switching does not seem to work. Checked tmobile web site and they dont have internet settings for the phone yet, but do have mms/sms settings...maybe in june when they release it they will update the settings and ill be able to down load.

They aim to do 3G roaming at some point in the future but for now it's EDGE only on data.
My network currently (ie when I drag down notification bar) is 'Orange T-mobile'

Im on t-mobile and mine seems to auto switch without setting anything. A few days ago I remember it saying orange but most the time it says t-moble.
PS: the other day I found out my phone had been emergancy calls only for neely 24hrs the only way i could get signal again was to turn it off and on so dont know if that had anything to do with it messing up when it tryed to change
Hi,
I received the phone yesterday, put in the SIM which has data enabled on my old phone.
Voice calls work fine but I get a message saying that there is limited data connectivity. WIFI works fine.
Initially when I went through the set up process MotoBlur could not connect (later realised my WIFI was down) So I turned off Motoblur using Bluroff.
I have set up the phone with my gmail account and downloaded the market app. the version of the market app I have is 2.3.6.
My system details are as follows:
System V4.1.83
Android version 2.2.2
Baseband N_01.77.15p
I thought it might be the APN considering I am using it in AUS and it is an AT&T phone. Confirmed the APN with another phone on the same carrier and still no joy.
I have even inserted the other SIM to ensure it was not mine.
Data connections have all been switched to the on position, I also dowloaded an APN toggle to ensure that the data connection was on.
I have full bars from the carrier with an H+ symbol next to the bars.
There is a small window for me to send the phone back. I am hoping there is a simple explanation though.
Thank you in advance.
Was your last phone an iphone? If it was you need to switch the data plan.

Thanks,
I will go back to the carrier to confirm my access.
I have a problem with roaming.
I am on MTS who has joined with Rogers network.
On stock ROM: 2-6-35-7-i9100xwkf3-cl276555 rootdell101 #2
I go to the US
Phone works on roaming
Can receive SMS
Cannot send SMS - Send fails
I have since rooted and installed Alienware 2-6-35-11 ninphetamine 2.1.3 xxkh3
I go to the US
Phone has 4/5 bars and can't get on network to roam
can't send/receive SMS
when dialing get the Mobile network unavailable message
My wife's samsung galaxy S i897 works fine -
Swapping SIMs with her yields the same failures on my S2 with her SIM.
In both cases, crossing the border home fixes the problem and life is grand.
I have tried:
1.enabling data roaming
2.rebooting
3.battery pull
4.swapping sims
Is anyone else having similar roaming issues - is there a ROM that actually works while roaming from Canada while in the US?
I have seen problems on my old Galaxy S and my wife's similar to this as when trying different ROMS, but have never gone across the border with any of these ROMS installed.
What I've seen with different ROMS is:
1. sometimes cannot get phone to get on network unless I setup the APN settings first
2. sometimes cannot get phone or data to work without enabling roaming mode. The phone actually says it's roaming even when it's on the home network
Is there anything I'm missing in the forums on this issue?
Thanks for the help
hmm, maybe you've tried, but have you checked if the APN list is accurate ?
i believe there is an app to set the APN on the market ( can't remember the name though, never had the need for it.)
or try to google if you can find the APN setting of your network provider.
Seem like an APN problem to me as you explain it.
on the phone, you can access that with :
Settings >> Mobile networks >> Access Point Names and then the details of each APN can be checked/edited.
Recently I switched provider, I went from T-mobile to Simyo. Simyo is a dutch low budget provider. Furthermore I have a galaxy s2 with the following custom rom: CriskeloRom V38
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1168836&page=725
The problem is that I am not able to get data connection. I entered all the apn settings correctly if I am right. I even called simyo helpdesk and checked all the apn settings with a coworker.
So, my question is: Might it be the problem that the custom rom makes it impossible to set up a data connection? (I have to ad that with t-mobile I was able to use data).
Any help would be much appreciated! Thx in advance
I have to add that there is also no data symbol in the status bar and that the data connection and roaming settings are enabled.
Anyone?

The way your question is worded, you'd be better off asking in the thread for CriskeloRom specifically.
That said, without knowing for sure, I'd guess Simyo doesn't use the same UTMS bands for data as T-Mobile, and may not actually be compatible with this phone? I don't know. Does your co-worker also have a GT-I9100 on Simyo?
Though, you should at least get Edge. But I'm not even in Europe, so I'm just guessing.
Hi all, I landed in Heathrow for vacation a couple days ago and immediately bought a local sim (EE 500 mins, unl text, and 2gb data). I swapped it out while on the tube and I got and unknown sim icon in the status bar. Weirdly, it appears I can send and receive texts (I was getting messages from EE) but I cannot use data. Furthermore, when I took the Eurostar to Paris yesterday, I got a text from EE welcoming me to France, informing me of roaming charges etc so it is clearly communicating with their servers.
I'll be heading back to London on Tuesday, and I'd like to have data then.
I am rooted, but still running stock ROM.
Is this a Verizon, LG, EE problem? Or is it a combination?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks!
Probably some APN issue but I wouldn't know what exactly you need to do to fix it. Anytime you run a phone that's set up for one carrier on a different one you usually have to at the minimum change APN settings to have full functionality.
Maybe where you got the SIM from can give you the correct APN settings. Make sure and back up your existing APNs first.
Enjoy your vacation. Safe travels!

Thanks for the reply! I created the appropriate APN with info from their website but still no dice :/
Ur going to have issue the icon will remain as long as u are you using a non verizon sim as far as data normal issue have been not being able to recieve mms. Make sure data is enabled then recheck your apn make sure its fpr smartphones then if all else fails it possible your carrier may not be able to connect to data via verizon hardware
I am getting the same problem in the UK - see the OP - same 'unknown SIM' icon in the top bar. I have voice & text, but no data.
Two different carriers in the UK give me the same problem - 02 and EE - so it's not unique to one carrier. If anyone has further info I'd appreciate it - otherwise I'm down to put this phone aside & buy a new one as I'm living the the UK for a year or longer.
Has anyone been able to attach a Verizon LG G3 to a UK providers data? If so, how? LMK please!
Thx in advance!
