Photon in mexico - Motorola Photon 4G

I was able to get my photon to work flawlessly in rocky point this weekend..u need a Telcel or movistar sim card they cost like 10 dollars....make sure you have an app called APN global installed on your phone before you leave to mexico...install sim card go into wireless and networks and select gsm....dial *264 to activate the line... they will text you your phone number .....go into APN global then select your carrier the app wil walk you through installing the necessary apns and voila you have a cell phone im mexico......make sure you disable background data or you will eat up your airtime really fast ...dont ask how i know! !!!! Decided to inform the forum sitting here in line waiting to get anally probed so i can enter my own country ....any questions let me know i really like this phone alot ....

how to activate Photon if im not lives in US?

hello
having some trouble to activate my Photon 4G im not US resident
and every time after reboot the phone trying to connect to sprint network
but it couldn't of-course because i live in Israel and using different Sim card.
before the Update MR5 i was able to register my device but after the MR5
it's switch's to the Sprint network and says to call the costumer care service.
what is wrong?
Settings, wireless and networks, mobile network and then network mode? Have you tried that? That way it wouldn't search for Sprint.

what im sayng that im dont have sprint network in israel.
it wont activate it i dont know why.
the stupid update*&*&*&* all up.
----------------------
update
i dont know what i just did but its activated but again giving me "WIFI ERROR"
** MOD EDIT - Please refrain from vulgar language **
You need to put it in GSM only mode in network to work off your sim. If its set to cdma it will only search for those specific networks. Also you can do a manual setup by using the codes in the dialer. Not sure if they work but try *#*#3282*#*# and you will need your msl from your carrier to access. Or root it and use the msl app from the market
Edit its ##3282#

ok im in the menu but i dont see any GSM in none of the menu's
what i see that i can enter 6 digital code to enter
but i dont have it
i send an email to the seller that i'v bought this phone from.
hope that he can give me answer soon.
Why do you need your phone activated on Sprint if you're not going to be using Sprint?
The phone works fine without Sprint activation on an International SIM...

What is most likely happening is that the phone is trying to roam by default on Pelephone's old CDMA network (they have not shut it down, it is running in parallel with their newer 850/2100Mhz UMTS network). You can try to go into Settings->Wireless Networks->Network Mode and change it to "Any GSM/UMTS". See if that helps.
becuase everytime after the stupid update i was restarting the phone its trying to
access the Sprint network from some reason.
after i was activated the phone the wifi stopped working entirely.
I'm on an un-activated Photon and just updated myself. I do not seem to have the Wi-Fi issue you are having. Maybe it's something else...

GUARDIANBD, I am not sure why you are having wifi problems. With respect to your network issues, please confirm that you have indeed changed your network mode to "Any GSM/UMTS". If you have not done this then by not registering on Cellcom, your phone is actually acting as designed. Please understand that this phone is primarily a CDMA phone with GSM/UMTS capabilities added by Sprint as a "bonus" to their customers who go overseas.
Sprint is a CDMA carrier and if your network mode is set to just "Any Network" then they have correctly designed it to first look for a CDMA signal. If it finds one (which in your case it is finding Pelephone's old network), then it ignores any GSM/UMTS networks. If you did indeed change your network mode to "Any GSM/UMTS" and it still is trying to lock onto Pelephone's CDMA network then (and only then) you are right, the phone's software does appear to have a bug in it.
the first thing after i powerdup the phone for the first time i changed it to GSM mode.
like i say'd before its a bug in this update so i want to reverse the process and
return to MR1 update.
if i restart the phone in Airplane mode the wifi works like a charm
but after i change it back to GSM (and for some reason enables the 4G network with it) it disconnected from wifi.
Is 4G enabled on your phone?
Again, if you aren't on Sprint, it would be pretty useless to have 4G enabled.
Un-check 4G in Settings->Wireless & Networks and see if that fixes the issue for you...

sim is not recognized

Hello
I made a trade yesterday against a galaxy tab 10.1. And I worry a sim card.
The tab usually come from Belgium (like me).
I put my sim card, tested another and it is never recognized.
I change the rom. Always the same ...
What can I do?
thank you
You have to change apn setup to the one you had with the old sim. Do some Googling about your carrier setup

Check this out also. Do you know how to put it in? Go to setting, go to wireless, go to mobile networks, go to access point names. Once in there click on top right hand, create new APN. you can name whatever you want. The important thing is under APN, you have to put the correct address ' internet.proximus.be' all other fields just leave as is. Make sure to save it before exit. Push back button, now select your newly created apn. Another important thing, hold down the power button and have data connection enabled, second option down. Hope that work for you

Hello
I do not have access to the network service. Because my sim card is not recognized at the base.
I get the following message
Insert a SIM card to access the network sevices

Connected to carrier but signal says Roaming, no APN settings, but have internet

OK guys the title explains my predicament. I live in Costa Rica and am currently with the I.C.E for any of you that may be from here. I purchased a used S2 from a guy that bought it from Claro. So the first thing I did was get rid of the stock and I flashed everything like I wanted which is:
CheckROM v6
Using DarkKnight's Kernel
I'm using the KI3 radio but I have about 20 others and none of them changes my situation (coming up)
Original info was:
PDA-KG7
Phone- KG4
CSC - KH2
NOW here's the deal, my network icon has full bars but with an R for roaming. The phone works fine, I somewhat have data connectivity although SLOW, BUT when I go to APN settings there is nothing there NOR will it let me save a new APN, BUT I do get the 3G and H icons depending on where I am, I just can't program in a new APN or get rid of the Roaming icon no matter what ROM I flash, kernel or radio combination...
I have tried automatically and manually selecting my networks also, no dice...
I have of course already gone to *#*#4696#*#* and changed settings and tried all the variants but currently have it on WCDMA preferred.
I have also gone to *#2263# and tried all those variants but left it on WCDMA All Channels.
So I am more than open for any suggestions.
Go to Sammobile.com & search for stock firmware for your country/carrier (or just your country if they don't have any carrier specific firmware for your region), flash this firmware via Odin following whatever instructions Sammobile have for firmware downloaded from their site.
Once you've done that, check your APN setting & see if you have full connectivity. If for whatever reason your APN settings are blank (if you only end up downloading/flashing a country specific firmware only, for example), call your carrier for the APN settings and then enter these manually.
First thing you do when you have these problems is go back to stock & see if you can reproduce the problem or whether going back to stock fixes same

Thanks alot for your response MistahBungle.
Well on stock firmware is where I originally have the problem, that's the reason I began flashing ROMs and radios. IF I use a SIM from the original carrier which is Claro then all is well. BUT if I use a SIM from one of the other two carriers then the phone signal says roaming and I can't save any APN settings, no matter if I'm on stock firmware or any of the other ROMs or radio combinations that I have tried.
OK. Looks like we'll have to dig a bit deeper
So do you have baseband & IMEI in settings/about phone ? That issue of not being able to save APN settings with those other carriers sounds to me like a SIM or network issue. My first thought was it's a problem with the baseband, hence I suggested to flash a stock rom. But if that was the issue, you probably wouldn't be able to enter APN details for any sim/carrier.
Actually, now that I think about it. You know what it sounds like ? That the phone is network locked to your original carrier. That would explain everything.
If your phone *should* be locked (like you're on a contract where you only 'own' the phone at the end of the contract, etc), then I guess you can either pay the original carrier to unlock it. Or you can try one of the many unlock methods you can read about on here/apps you can get on the Market. Or if it shouldn't be locked yet it is, maybe ask the original carrier to unlock it.
You could also try flashing a specific rom for one of the other carriers, but I'm pretty sure that phone is network locked.

Ok just to clarify... all that makes sense, but what is ODD to me is that I don't think the phone is locked... I have full phone capabilities. I can make and answer calls, send texts, I even have full internet capability (even if I can't save any APN settings and there are none to be seen in the menu to choose from), I have the full speed of what I'm paying for from my carrier... the phone just won't let me SEE what APN settings it's using and in the signal it says R for roaming, but in networks it shows that it's connected to MY network...
Yes my IMEI does come up, BUT when I try one of those unlock apps I always get the message that it was unable to unlock it, but it's working with my carrier.
Ahhhh. OK. Yep that's a bit clearer now
OK. So we're pretty sure it isn't locked. That is really weird that it won't let you enter APN settings (regardless of which rom you're using), but you still have internet connectivity. Again, showing your network as the network connected to, yet showing up as roaming on the taskbar, is weird.
I've gotta say I"m pretty much stumped then. Haven't read a similar situation on here in the 4 mths I've been following the Q&A section of the board pretty much every day. Sorry I can't be of more help
Hopefully someone better qualified that me reads your post & can help. If you don't get a reply in a day or two, give it a bump.

Hey don't apologize, as you see no one else has ventured to give me a response either and I'm completely stumped myself. I looked for 5 days for an answer before I started a new thread because no one will go off on a noob for not searching quicker than I will, but I just haven't seen anyone with a similar situation on any forum anywhere...
THANKS AGAIN!!
Now to the rest of you devs, come on help a fella out and tell me what files I need to be looking for or modifying
Ok MistahBungles I got an update for ya... I decided to download a different firmware package (the PDA and Phone match mine but not the CSC), it's for Claro Argentina, BUT the ROM isn't branded when I booted it (the ROM the phone came had a CLARO boot logo (another reason I started looking for a different ROM)) and THIS ROM automatically has my APN settings in the menu without me doing a thing and the R in the signal is gone....
So now my question is how do I go about flashing the ROM I wanna use which is CheckROM but not lose my new found freedom (I ask because I'm not sure if this is a simple radio issue)

The Phone maybe Network Locked.(Not sim locked) As taken from gsmlocker.com:
Q. What sorts of locks are there?
A.
- lock phone to SIM
- lock phone to OPERATOR (network lock)
- lock phone to CODE (product lock = offer lock)
If your phone is locked to the sim you cannot use any other sim than the one you have: SIM broken makes phone useless.
If your phone is locked to an operator, you can use any SIM from this operator in your phone. You can switch between contract and prepaid as you wish, but not to a different operator.
If your phone is locked to a code, the phone checks a special "password" (GID) on the SIM that must match your phone. Providers often use different passwords for contract and prepaid.

OK I get your point BUT the phone if fully functional, I'm using a SIM from a different carrier, I have a data connection, make and receive calls, the whole nine yards, it just won't let me see what APN setting it's using and the R symbol is in the signal... once again, IT IS allowing the use of a different SIM from another carrier
Yes its the same as me! I have the R showing as well.(if you put the Claro sim in the R will disappear yes?)

Yes when I use a CLARO SIM the R disappears....
BREAKTHROUGH... I think that I have found the culprit... since I live in Costa Rica I use Market Enabler... apparently whatever it changes is causing the problem, which is weird because I have 3 other android devices, I use the same app on all of them and don't have this issue... NOW I'm really scratching my head... guess I need to contact the dev?
Ahhh. So Market Enabler is changing the CSC which is causing the network settings to disappear/barf.
Nice work finding the source of the problem Yeah tell the dev. Hopefully they can find some sort of fix/workaround so you can still use Market Enabler.

Well I just through and installed and tried ALL the market unlocking apps and they all apparently do the same thing and causing the same result, my phone thinks it's roaming, so now the head scratcher is why my other Android devices don't behave in the same way? This is my only Samsung. The others are Dell Streaks.

Sorry to bump this up, but I'm having the exact same problem. I was wondering if you ever figured out how to fix it.
I have a HTC Sensation and it happened to me right after I upgraded my custom kernel version to a newer one.
I never installed Market Enabler nor Market Access but when I check the SIM info it shows incorrect MNC and MCC values which
I can't change... they won't save in the system options.
I thought maybe my SIM card is screwed up, so I'm thinking of getting a new one from my service provider.
I just have to check it on a different phone first.

[Q] how to select network operator manually?

yesterday i brought AT&T's Samsung galaxy s2 SGH-i777(locked) and i unlocked that mobile through cellunlocker.com to pay 11$ for unlock code..they sent 8digit code..its works perfectly...after that i put my IDEA cellular INDIA SIM card on it..its showing some signal..but i am not able to make a calls..its saying network not registered.....after i restart the mobile it took "T-Mobile" network for a moment and lost..after that nomore connection.
when i go to wireless and network/ mobile networks/ network operators only thing which comes written is "DEFAULT SETUP" and that is greyed out. (when i tap on nothing happens).
also when i change back to my old AT&T sim, i am not able to access that greyed out area.
can someone please guide me through it..??
i am new to android phone..currently ia m roaming with T-mobile network in USA-Oklahoma.
my nokia e-5 working perfectly when i switch back SIM on it.
Please help me to how i got signal on my galaxy s2.
trouble shooting done
mobile not in flight mode...wifi working fine...2nd time i removed battery for a while and restart.it tooks network for 2minutes ..i make a blank call to other mobile...after that no signal...
below is my mobile information:
Model no - samsung-sgh-i777
android version 2.3.6
baseband verson- i777uckk6
kernel verson - 2.6.35.7
build number - gingerbread.uckk6
STATUS-
Signal strength- -101dBm 6asu
mobile network type- GPRS
service state- out of service
roaming- not roaming
mobile network state- disconnected
IMEI- 35805504356xxxx
IMEI SV- 03
First thing's first: never post your IMEI. You should take that down ASAP.
Secondly: I have no idea what's wrong with your phone, but our phone is free to unlock. As in, you didn't have to pay anything, all you had to do was root and use an app from the Play Store.
Thirdly: I believe you cannot select the network operator while on a stock ROM (either 2.3.4 or 2.3.6), no matter what you tried. You'd need to flash a custom ROM to do that (not entirely sure, someone correct me if I'm wrong).
Fourthly: Note that the I777 doesn't have the hardware to use T-Mobile's 3G/4G services. You'll only be able to run on Edge, period. There are no workarounds.
Lastly: To fix your problem, I would recommend starting over. That is, wiping all data/caches and flashing back to complete stock 2.3.4. Then root it, and use the app I mentioned before to unlock. Flash a custom ROM after that if you still want the ability to select the network operator.
Read all of the links in the sticky if you want to follow any of the suggestions I made. And I mean, read all of them before you do anything to your phone. You need to fully understand everything you are about to do before you do it.
P.S. Please hit my thanks button if I helped you. Good luck!

Read only posts and threads here. Other websites have outdated info. No ROM is best, try them all yourself. You need to better understand what a ROM is, so search for that. Keep reading, I told you it will take you several days. I won't spoon feed you forever.

[Q] Dual sim chinese S3 clone roaming problem

Hi
My phone is Star OneM92 dual sim Chinese S3 clone running 4.1
I'm experiencing a problem with my Virgin (UK) sim. The phone is automatically throwing it in to roaming mode. The "r" sign comes up at the signal bar.
I've checked with Virgin and they confirm no roaming charges apply as its a domestic sim. Of course when I told them the phone is copy they immediatly threw a fit and I got a lecture how I should never of you one in the first place.
Its dam annoying when I make a call. I have to confirm I want to use a roaming sim.
I've tried different positions and other sim cards from O2 and Vodafone and they work fine.
Can anyone shed any light on to this and advise how I can get around this.
By the way, I know I shouldn't of got a clone and yes I'm a noob and all that. Apologies for my inexperience in advance
have u try using a app from playstore called network
there u can set the phone to only 2g 3g or roaming
