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 everyone, if these seem like simple questions please excuse my ignorance, im a bit of a noob in a lot of ways.
I have a Telus HTC Hero which is rooted with custom rom on it. I am going to Australia for a couple of months and would like to be able to just chuck a pre paid sim card in it to use while I am there.
2 Questions, 1st will the phone actually work over there? With the frequencies and what not. and secondly do I need to unlock it and if so how do I go about that.
Thanks in advance for your help
It should work for voice calls and texts. I don't think 3G will work though.
You'll need to go to an unlock shop or buy an unlock code of an eBay seller to use an Australian SIM Card I think.
Thanks!! Can anyone confirm this? Also does that mean data will not work at all?
Guys I'm new to this website a friend of mine referred me to this particular site hoping someone can help me with my problem, a korean student of mine gave me a white galaxy note with the model of SHV-E160L, its seems im having problems with the messaging, is there something I can do to convert this phone to a universal model perhaps so that i dont have problems sending sms anymore because everytime there will be an error saying ( invalid sender ). please help me. thanks
Note E160L
Yeah... Same problem here. SMS don't work. And all the chinese ROM alternatives solve the problem but they aren't very good cause there are some functions missing. So that would be perfect, if we could change the hardware ID to an international model. I had a SE x10 and I remember it was possible (i changed it back then). So, anyone knows if that's possible in the Note so we could install a European or American ROM?
Thanks
whats the missing functionality of the chinese rom? how did u managed to send sms?
SGN
Dont put custom roms on your Korean phones unless it has been approved and tested to work. I say this because I lived in Korea 5 years there SMS system is diffrent from the rest of the world. There is very heavy coding that has to go into getting the SMS to work once flash. I am just a user i dont program I just learned this stuff over the years. I also have the LG U+ SGN and I just game from Korea off a 2 week vacation my phone worked just fine over there. As a matter of fact I am on my second SGN phone bother are Unlocked and work no matter where I travel. If anything I would just wait for the update to ICS and dont put any ROMS on the phone
Same Problem
Hi! I have a similar problem. I am living in China and bought a Korean model, SHV-E160L. My service provider is China Unicom (with 3G coverage). I was happy to get my phone - but bummed to find out that I can't text my friends.
"Invalid Sender" always pops up.
The usual reply is to change the number in your message center. However, when I or the Chinese Unicom representative tried to find it, there was no sign of the message center anywhere. According to some resources on the internet, pushing *#*#4636#*#* should pull up some backup menu in order to find it. It doesn't.
Should I be getting different coverage? Is it a problem with my APN? Should I get a ROM?
UPDATE:
Thanks to "uraz" here, I discovered how to access the SMSC.
Hello!
I just recently returned to Canada from South Korea. While there I bought a Samsung galaxy s3 3g. When I left I broke my contract and was told the phone was unlocked and I could use it in Canada. However, when I tried using a Canadian sim card it didn't work. When I start the phone the SK telecom logo still pops up. I tried phoning SK and asking them to unlock it, but they say all their phones are unlocked.
Any suggestions on how to get the phone to work in Canada would be great, thanks!
You need to give more information if you want an answer. What does the phone do? What rom are you on? etc
Sorry! I'm not on any rom. The phone works fine using wifi but when I tried to go sign up for a phone plan after returning from Korea I was told my phone is locked to SK still, even though SK says it isn't. I really dont know much about phones, so I'm not sure what other information is needed.
I was just wondering how to get my phone unlocked, or to get it sk that I can use it with a Canadian sim card.
Sorry of this wasn't the place to ask a question like that.
Repeat what model phone is it please look under the battery .
This is I9300 forum .
There isn't a Korean GS3 section. Anyway, have you tried using a different SIM? It might just be the SIM's problem.

Hello. I had a quick search around but could not find a definitive answer to my question.
I have just purchased a Samsung I9305 that was imei locked through the Australian carrier Optus.
The phone had been lost so the owner rang and reported such.
When he found the phone in his wet weather gear a week later (It was for his business) He obviously could no longer use it
I purchased the phone from him after confirming the details. There is a company here that can unlock the imei and through talks with them I can unlock the imei for other carriers than Optus and other carriers on that network. I have no problem with this as Optus do not have the service and coverage I need So I am with Telstra.
I have upgraded roms and unlocked my S2 a few times
Now that the details are out of the way, my question is this:
I HATE phones that have all the carrier bloat on them. Can I change the ROM on this phone without problems (I have not looked yet but want an Australian Rom not associated with any carrier), or will the Imei lock come back if I do. I do not want to brick the phone or lock it from being used. I would go with a Telstra rom if I have to or at the very least root the phone and remove all traces of the Optus bloat
Thanks for any help in advance...and really hope that someone does not immediately link to another post I missed due to poor search technique
