Orange/EE - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i recently got a text from orange saying that i was now on EE and when i restarted my phone, It would display the EE. So i restarted my phone and it didnt display EE. So i decided to go back to the samsung stock rom and it displayed the EE network then but i wasnt to happy with stock so i decided to install cm10 nightly, but now it wont display EE on my phone it just displays T-Mobile.
Im completely baffled about this, Any idea's on why this is? and how to change it ?

It musnt display on custom roms.Im in the same boat....but I dont care.
Its the same with network selection.There is no "option" to use t-mobile orange-only t-mobile or orange.

I had the same text from Orange UK.
I have been running CM10 nightlies for about the last 3 weeks.
Upon restarting my phone after receiving the text, I have been on EE for about a week. I don't know if this info helps. I may just be pointing out that EE network is OK with CM10.

Had the same from T-mobile but it worked for me. Restarted phone and I'm now on the EE network and I'm running a custom rom.

Doesn't seem to be any faster. Did a speed test and got about 1.1Mbps up and down.

Wow $35! I got my unlock code from cellunlocker.net for only $8, took 3hrs for them to send the code.
Edit: just checked... They charge $33 for bell note. don't know why Rogers is so much cheaper to unlock.

Didn't had to unlock my rogers Note to run it on the Fido network, was a very good surprise. Mayne the note is factory unlocked?
try cellunlocker.net
I got the unlock code from www.cellunlocker.net...they are pretty quick

Actually since Rogers owns Fido, you can interchange the sim's from Rogers to Fido and vise versa with a locked device.
They made that change a few years ago.

same here, used cellunlocker.net for unlocking Rogers locked Galaxy Note i717R... $8, code within 6 hours (got it in the morning)... didn't have Bell sim card so I could not open network unlock input even with #7465625*638*#... finally went to a local mall and asked a guy at mobile stand to borrow Bell sim card... no charge... entered code... "Network Unlock Successful"...
however I am with FIDO and when I type *#7465625# to check if phone is in fact unlocked I get to black personalization screen and it force-closes in couple of seconds... no unlock status information provided... just crash... Could that be connected to the fact that Galaxy Note is network unlocked but it not rooted?

And you're not connected to wifi?
I suggest removing and reinserting the battery and SIM.

I'm at work so got no WiFi. Will try taking out the battery and SIM and try again thanks
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Right I turned it off took the SIM out booted back up without SIM the rebooted again with SIM but the signal still keeps dropping off I only get signal for a few seconds. I normal get really good signal where I am. Also battery is dropping quicker then normal I guess that's down to searching for signal though

orange/t mobile are doing quite a bit of network repairs and upgrades at the moment ahead of 4g, so that may account for it, try going networks and selecting t mobile, always get better signal like that here

[Q] EE Galaxy Note 2 running on O2

I am able to pay £100 next week and get a Galaxy Note 2 from EverthingEverywhere off my mums contract and give her my HSPA (she wont use 4G!) Galaxy S3.
I am wondering if it would be possible to get the Galaxy Note to work on O2. The Galaxy S3 is already unlocked so that wont be an issue!
Thanks
Steven Chorkley
Better off posting in note 2 forum.

Try searching for specialize on eBay. He unlocked my new s3 i9305 last night £10.95. Got unlock code back in 30mins. Check if he covers note 2, I know he covers most Samsung models
Thank you!!!!

...and I'm not sure even EE have gone live yet.
Once it is live, only sixteen cities in the UK will get 4g until the Spring of next year. I'm definitely and early adopter, but there's early and there's early!
EE went live over 2 weeks ago....

Although handsets are displaying EE this is only EEs 3G Network. 4G EE will be going live at the end of the month in 10 major cities followed by several more by the end of the year.
From Techrader Website:
The date sees the new EE brand "go live" alongside the super-fast mobile network, which will go live in ten cities around the country (London, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Bristol, Birmingham).
EE says that Belfast, Derby, Hull, Nottingham, Newcastle and Southampton will also join the 4G line-up by the end of the year.
To all yes I realise that the galaxy note 2 won't work on o2 4g when it is released and I also understand that EE isn't live until the 30th.... the business model is in practice unil early next year!!
Thanks to all for the comments

Is your APN configured correctly?

IMEI ??
You'll have to have it unlocked first, uf you've already done that, then redo it because it is letting you know that is network restricted

How many spend you for active "Bring Your Own Phone(BYOP) CDMA Activation Kit " ?
I don't think your imei is good after all. I got that same message on a note 2 I bought. The man I got it from had me call att to verify the imei, so I'd buy it, then reported it stolen 2 days later. Boom, no connectivity. Device has been blocked from network use
