I have this Chinese Quad Band Phone, that recognizes my T-Mobile USA SIM Card, but shows no network...
All settings for T-Mo Access Point are correct, but error while searching for Network.
Screen shots attached..
Thanks.

hi guys does anybody know if it is possible to get my o2 xdmini s to except a 3 sim card, it excepts all other sim cards (virgin - vodafone) etc
thanks, jim
Think the simple answer is no.
My understanding is that three use a different frequency and specification - ie wideband CDMA for their mobile coverage, which is not compatible with sims from other carriers using gsm and/or 3gsm services.
If you correctly use the word "accept" instead of "except" in your future posts it will be much easier for people to help you.
one thing that i know is that it will work but no 3g

how? i sim unlocked my G4 mini s. It works with o2, vodafone and should be fine with orange.
But I did check to use my 3 simcard. However, it doesn't accept the card at all. (not only can't use 3G, but no phone feature is available to use)

Q: How do I know my G4 has ever been CID unlocked?

Try SIM Unlocking again. A 3G sim means that it's capable of 3G speeds in a 3G device. I'm currently using a 3G sim in a non 3G device and all is good.
If you didn't CID unlock your device yourself....more than likely it's still CID locked. G4's were only able to be CID unlocked by imei.com or something like that till now. There's a new CID unlocking tool floating around that works on G4's. Give it a try.

Thanks for the reply. But i thought the 3 networks and other networks are working completely different.
I have a sim-free phone. I can use O2, Orange, Vodafone, T-mobile, etc. But when I put my 3 sim-card in. It doesn't allow me to use it. I don't care the 3G speeds. It will be fine to me if I can use the 3 sim card to make a phone call.
The same situation for my Wizzard (O2 Mini S).

i sometimes use a 3g sim and its the same as my regular sim but as long as the sim is for a GSM network it will work but of curse it has to be on a sim unlocked phone

My Wizzard is Sim Unlocked, CID locked. I can use my regular sim cards, like O2, Vodafone, etc.
But why can't I use my 3g sim card to make any call? Any idea about this will be appreciated.
i believe the wizard phones arent made for 3g. so thats probably why your
3g sim wont work.
i emailed imei-check.co.uk and this was the reply
"This is TECHNICAL IMPOSSIBLE. Your device is a 2G device and can handle all GSM SIM cards.
"3" (3G network) does not have GSM SIM cards. They use special U-SIM cards (note the U in front) which are NOT GSM compatible.
In short: To use a "3" sim card you need a 3G/UMTS device which can handle U-SIM cards. Your device is NOT a 3G/UMTS device and thats why it will NEVER be able to use a U-SIM."
that sucks ive got 12 months left of my contract

Exactly, I have 17 and a half months left for my 3 contract.
But the guy "ultraprimeomega" above mentioned, he could use the 3 simcard as well as other simcards. It's very strange to me
My girlfriend bought a T-mobile HTC radar off craigslist and It wouldn't read a T-mobile sim card. Which I though was weird. So I bought a unlocked code and unlocked it with my AT&T sim card. The phone will work with the AT&T sim card but not with a t-mobile sim card. I've try a contract and pre-paid T-mobile sim and nothing. I went to T-mobile and got a brand new sim card and still nothing. Like I said if I put my AT&T sim in the phone it work fine. Can some one please help me to get this phone to read a t-mobile sim. I though once you unlocked it you could use any carrier that use a sim card.
you'll have to call t-mobile to activate it with the sim card

I don't think so. I regularly bounce between T-Mobile and AT&T with all my unlocked phones. The only limiting factor is the radio and the data bands that it receives. And, of course the Radar was made for T-Mo. Mine has always been great there.
Now, there are two versions of the phone. The US version is simply called the Radar and can use either T-Mobile or AT&T's networks. The international version is model C110E and called either the Radar or the Omega. It will work on AT&T, but it does not have the T-Mobile bands. It is made for data networks in Europe and it additional bands for Asia. The antenna configuration is different in the two phones.
Does your Radar say "T-Mobile" in the top right corner? Is it possible that you have the C110E?
I got a unlocked code and it works on my at&t sim card but not a T-Mobile one. I've try contact and prepaid sim cards. Nothing! I got a new sim card and nothing! It a T-Mobile HTC radar. It should work on T-Mobile but it don't. A Friend of mine said T-Mobile has lock the phone from there end. I got the unlocked code and it works with at&t sim but not T-Mobile. I don't like the windows one. I've unlocked 3 mytouch, 4 SGII and a galaxy note. This has been a pain in the ass from day one. If u think of a idea let me know it won't hurt.

Maybe the IMEI has been blocked by Tmo? Call and find out.
basically i wanna know if the bell/rogers i747M imei would show up on att imei database ?
i wanna use the non-smartphone unlimited data with it if possible
also whats the diff between the i747 and i747M ? only software ?
if you're trying this in order to use LTE, it won't work. you'd need an LTE simcard in which case AT&T will know you're on a real smartphone.

You actually don't need an LTE sim card. The HSPA+ sim cards that was previously used still picks up a LTE signal.

Might want to block out your IMEI number
Congrats. I'm jealous I have to wait a couple more days.

Is it a true Verizon phone? What kind of Verizon branding and bloatware does it have?
Can you show us screenshot of the "Storage" setting to see what is the usable free space the device comes with?
Wifi notification?
niceee
Does the camera have shutter lag like that others are reporting?
Congrats on the new phone!
Can you tell me how you use it on China's cell carrier? I occasionally have to go to Wuxi and it would be nice to be able to use my Verizon phone.

But I thought Verizon USA uses CDMA technology and doesn't have a SIM card slot.

All 4G LTE phones on Verizon use a data sim card (or whatever you want to call it).

Just to confirm what the person below said, all Verizon LTE phones use SIM cards for activation, just like GSM.
hi folks
i picked up this phone the other day. I have a 4g sim required and verified by network. The handset supports the network bandings available in my country.If i put a sim card into sim slot 1 i get a message saying : "this is not a 4g telecom sim" and sim allows me to enter my sim security pin but nothing else. Sim card works in sim slot 2 but as 2g only. I should be getting 3g/4g and no idea why.... any ideas please?? was wondering if cyanogenmod or an alternative rom would fix this issue? thank you in advance.
Hello,
which sim you are use ? and which rom you currently use ?
Thanks for trying ti help.I'm using Meteor Mobile network 4g sim in Ireland and its stock software android 5.0 model nx512j
Is your device supports LTE. But please verify by network is band of Network is supports your device or not. May be your device is not support 4G LTE band with your sim.
Ye mate. Handset supports 4g and 3g 2100mhz which is compatible in my country and sim card has 4g in another handset I tested.

When we put it into sim1 we get (image attached) but in sim2 we get full gsm coverage + 2g internet.Tested sim in other phone I have an get 4g + 3g on it so sim and network is fine...Even the company I bought the phone off of says it should have no problem working in my country. My sim is a 4g sim verified by my mobile provider.Thank you.
I wonder if installing cyanogenmod would fix the issue?
As per error msg your sim is not 4G try to renew your sim if still YOU get same error then hard reset your cell if still its not works then go for cyanogen mod.
