Hello,
I have the international phone of the S2. I am right now running on T-Mobile's service. I can call, sms, and mms just fine. But its on the EDGE network for data. If you root the phone (which I have done before), will I be able to force the phone to go into a 4G network like HSPDA? T-Mobile is a GSM network, however T-Mobile's required bands (1700 and 2100) are not listed in the GSM bands but on the HSPDA bands.
You can force the use of WCDMA without root access by dialing *#*#4636#*#* selecting phone information and then WCDMA only from the drop down box.

I selected WCDMA only, but for some reason, it automatically switches back to auto mode. Should I reflash the modem?
Umust have selected Preffered... Use WCDMA only
Peace
Hit Thanks & It will Disappear

even if you force the phoone to use UMTS, or HSDPA, you probably still won't see 3G (or what t-mobile call 4G), until they refarm their 3G network to 1900 band in your market (or you could be one of the lucky few that are in those refarmed market already).

If you are using the international variant of Galaxy SII, ie GT I9100, on T-Mobile, don't even bother yourself as you will be stucked on EDGE.

Hello All,
I am having issues connecting to the 3G network of Vodafone in India. My SGS2 is from AT&T and I was able to root it & unlock it and its works fine with the call and other stuff. I flashed the UnNamed v1.0.4 ROM and its been pretty stable.
But after activating my 3G service here, all I see is E with the 2 arrows. I researched online and saw that we need to change the CSC code. I looked up at the CSC code on my phone by dialing in *#272*<your IMEI># and its shows as ATT.
Can you please help me on how to change the CSC to INU (India Localisation) so that I can access the 3G network here.
Thanks

you probably just need to add your apn. Flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1299705 its based on the international version so it might let you select your network.
First, make sure that Vodafone in India works in UMTS 850/1900/2100mhz bands. If they are using 900mhz band, this phone does not support it. As much as I know most European and Asian countries use either 900mhz or 2100mhz or both.
It could be frequency or any other issue but if you are looking to change your CSC then look up app "Samsung Galaxy S / S2 CSC" in the market and give it a try. Remember that your ROM has to support MultiCSC.
EDGE with data functioning is a clear sign of a band mismatch, not an APN issue.

India is 2100mhz while the at&t sgsii is 850/1900 so 3g won't work. The t-mobile sgsii would work though, t-mobile's 3g frequency is 1700/2100.

AT&T GS2 supports 850/1900/2100 3G bands. So, if the paticular carrier uses 900 for 3G, it won't work.
Or if it happens to use the 1700 MHz AWS band - but I don't know if any Indian carriers do.

1700 seems to be North America exclusive Rest of the world primarily use 900 and 2100 for 3G with Brazil and Austrialia also use 850 and 1900 in addition to 900 and 2100.
I live in the US and was wondering if the i9100 would be capable to use cdma for verizon, sprint or cricket? Im wondering because when you go to mobile network it says gsm only, cdma only and gsm/cdma.

No.
And under mobile network, it actually says:
GSM/WCDMA (Auto mode)
GSM only
WCDMA only
WCDMA =/= CDMA.
Click me for info on WCDMA.
Long story short, WCDMA is 3g/"4g" (4g in quotes, because it's HSPA+, which isn't REALLY 4g) used for data on some GSM networks (AT&T mostly) in North America. Not the same as CDMA used for voice on some networks (Verizon, Sprint, Cricket) in North America.
Confusing, I know.
EDIT: FYI, this is a GSM phone; the only network in the US that you will get full use of all the capabilities of the I9100 is AT&T. You CAN use the phone on T-Mobile USA's network, but will only get Edge data speeds, as its hardware is not capable of receiving the necessary 3g/4g network frequencies for high speed data on their network.
Hello all
I haven't seen the issue below posted so I thought I'd put it out there and maybe we can figure out whats going on.
I recently purchased an ATT Galaxy Note because of price and vanity . I have an ATT Galaxy Note which I have rooted using mashi's ROM. Its unlocked. It has Rogers LTE sim and I have an LTE data plan. However I do not appear to get LTE connection/speeds. No LTE indication in the top bar. Speed test reveals HSPA+ - esque speeds. This is throughout my LTE coverage area in my city. No LTE indication has ever been shown on my device. Support has confirmed everything is okay from their end.
I was under the impression that the ATT Galaxy Note used 1700 AND 700 for LTE or at least it had the radio enabled for said frequencies. Rogers network uses only 1700 I think (from what I understand the 700 spectrum in Canada has yet to be auctioned off for LTE). Only possible issue I see is that perhaps ATT Galaxy Note only has 700 band enabled for LTE and thus it makes sense that it doesn't work on Rogers' LTE.
The att website says band 4 and 17 for LTE on the galaxy note so I would think both 700 and 1700 are enabled for LTE. However further reading on the internets suggests that ATT only uses 700 for LTE, and Rogers only 1700 as suspected. I suppose my assumption was incorrect and ATT disabled 1700 LTE for fun (along with NFC and hspa+/LTE toggling).
Any one else experiencing the same issue? Maybe flashing Rogers radio onto the ATT Note will fix it (and break video playback)?
Thanks
What are your APN settings? Can you flash the attached Rogers LTE APN Backup and Restore xml and see if you get anything? Make sure you are setup to use Rogers LTE apn settings
APN:
ltemobile.apn
apn type: internet+mms+supl
I double checked each setting on that setting page with support and they said they pushed the settings onto my phone, twice.
is the file you attached just all the settings for the access point settings page?
cheers
Hi,another option you have, now there is a custom Rom based off rogers software in the development section that you could flash. I have at&t software on my telus note and i have had some problems

I was having this problem on my Telus Note.. Not sure if you have tried this. Settings-Wireless and Network-Mobile Network,Network Mode.. Mine was set to GSM/HSPA Auto Mode, Switched to GSM/HSPA/LTE Auto Mode and all is good for me now.
Thanks taking the time for the suggestion, but the ATT Note does not have the network mode option in the settings (ie I cant enable/disable LTE), but the Canadian Notes do have this option.
Hi,
Recently I happen to move to India from USA. I had Samsung Galaxy S3 - SGH i747 purchased in in US, which was under 2 year contract. I tried to call AT&T guys to give me unlock code but they didn't give me since my contract was not over.
I moved to India and tried to unlock my phone from local shop. I am able to make/receive calls now having these issues.
1. 3G is not working . When I see different available bands in my phone using *#2263#, it shows WCDMA 850, 900, 1700, 1900 and WCDMS IMT2000 under WCDMA band preferences. I am using Vodafone in India which runs on UMTS 2100. I visited Vodafone store couple of times but they are not able to help me. How do I get 2100 frequency in my phone ?
2. Currently I have set preference to run my phone on GSM Band so 2G is working. There are certain areas in my city where Vodafone 2G is also not working. In those areas, I don't receive any call even though I have very good network coverage. I tried switching off my mobile network in case I can receive calls but its of no help.
Request for your to resolve this. I am fed up with this nice working phone and need to purchase new one if these issues don't get resolved.
Thanks
Hi need help please , I have a Galaxy S4 I545 , I can anly connect on 3G and even in the back of the device says s4 verizon 4g lte . When I change the LTE network goes without service. Let alone globally connect on 3G, I wonder if I can enable or install 4G LTE bands . Thank you
The SCH-I545 should have 4G enabled automatically. 4G is already installed on the phone unless it has been messed with (ROM,kernel etc.). Is it possible you are just not in a 4G area or have it on your Sim?
Are you located in the States?
The phone is 4G capable, only in USA. Outside, its only 3G. That is how Verizon did it, locking bands so Verizon users cannot have LTE with other providers like T-Mobile or Sprint or ATT. T-Mobile should work worldwide. For Verizon, you will need to unlock bands.
What country are you in ? Most probably, you need band 3 or band 28 which are deactivated.
I'm from Morocco

I'm from france. I use "SFR" carrier searched about it I need band 3, 7 and 20. I tried using hidden menu (*#27....#) but still can't unlock bands.
Anyone know a method to allow LTE bands?
