Hi all,
I have Straight Talk (ATT sim) for 2 days and I discover my X10i won't connect to 3G(HOME) when I choose it. **sim card does not allow a connection to this network** That's what it says when I click on it :crying:
I have on GSM/WCDMA preferred mode...
What should I do guys? Do I have to ask ST to send me a T-Mobile sim?? Help me!!!
Many thanks.

x10i has aws 3g band supported by t-mobile. you'll need t-mobile sim in order to get 3g working.

Go to the mobile networks settings. Go to network operators n check if there's a 3g connections available for ur current service provider (att). I don't think u can connect to another service providers network n expect it to work.. I don't know specifically abt att and t-mobile coz I'm in India
Also, in case u opt for a new sim from a different service provider, u may hv to remove simlock (which is a software thing, guides present here on xda) as most service providers lock the phone to their own network.
X10i is the international unlocked version though so u probably don't have to bother abt that.
Hope I helped

In around two weeks, I'm leaving to Europe on a school trip. I found a website http://goo.gl/LyKpj that sells SIM cards that work in most of Europe. My two questions are that will my Amaze work with just the voice and text plan (no data) and does the Amaze use the 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 frequencies? Thank you

BTW: If you need to call US and have WiFi connection and use TMO SIM card, WiFi calling is free.

I use Viber to talk to my friend in China. It's a free wifi calling/texting app on the Market.
Give it a try.
Don't forget to call t-mobile
and get your sim unlock codes. They email it to you, and you can't enter it until you put the foreign sim in. I'd wait to get the sim until you get to where your going to, as you'll be surprised at the deals you can get once your there.
Get a different pay-as-you-go sim card in each country for the best deals.
Not much free wifi in Europe.. Don't rely on it.. In your hotel you should be ok though..

You can call FROM anywhere back to the US via wifi and it's free, not call from the us to anywhere.

Yep.
AFAIK, to request SIM unlock code for subsidized phone (from TMO), you need to be 90 days on contract at least.
Or if you don't have subsidized phone (i.e. you bought it yourself) - you need to be on active contract.
It's explained somewhere on TMO site.
Or s-off and use the free method in the general forum to sim unlock your device.
Thanks for all the help. Prior to the post, I already sim-unlocked my phone from the method in the general section. I also already bought the SIM card and it seems to work. I placed it in and typed in the pin and everything seemed to be fine, except for the fact that they don't have connection in the US. Hopefully all goes well on my trip.

No Mobile network in France
Hello, I've just receive an unlocked T-Mobile Amaze 4G phone from the US. The phone is not rooted and has a stock rom. Everything seems to be working fine but one thing:
NO MOBILE NETWORK (can't use mobile internet)
It looks like compatibility issue between the French operator (I'm not sure that it supports 4G format) and the phone radio. What should I do first:
- call my operator support service
- root and flash a custom rom
- update radio version
- ...
Would appreciate any help.

Check your Internet APN settings, I had tonnes of issues until I found the right ones. Even if your network doesn't support 4G it will still default to 3G so you can get Internet..
Hi,
I am wondering that is it possible to do sim unlock for Japanese Motorola Photon (Au-Kddi)?
I am looking for free option (I know that by paying for unlock code, we can do it)
I want following:
I am having Motorola Photon (Japanese version simlock) and I want to use it in India (GSM carrier)
Please help to unlock sim( without paying any money.)
Looking forward to hear from experts.
Thanks.
If you are using your phone outside of the United States you should already be sim unlocked.

Thanks John for your kind reply.
I purchased motorola photon in JAPAN. When I got photon, it was without sim card (carrier Au-Kddi CDMA).
So, I am not sure even it is sim lock or not. (but I think that it must be locked version)
I am planning to use it in India (not in US)
Could you confirm following:
(1) Do I need to unlock it to use it in India with GSM operator?
Looking forward to see your positive response.
Thanks.
As far as I know, the sim lock only applies to US carriers. But, if you're able, try putting a prepaid sim card, or one from a friend's phone in your device and see. You may have to go into settings to take it off of cdma only. I think that if your phone works with any sim card at all, that you'll be able to use it in India. Good luck!

John, your Japanese is good. I am really impressed!!!
As you know that in Japan all cellular service providers are CDMA. So, for me it is difficult to check with GSM sim (because I dont have any GSM sim for testing )
Further more according to my understanding, in Japan all phones come with sim lock. i.e. if I am user of 'Au-Kddi' then I cannot use same hand set with 'Softbank'. (I guess that it is same case as US)
May you provide me some other work around to make sure that photon will work with any GSM provider?

Thanks Suhas.
I checked your suggestion. I have attached screen shot. (Pl see attachment)
I got four options as following
(1) KDDI only -> it is my current CDMA service provider
(2) Any CDMA -> I tried this option and inserted another service provider CDMA sim card but after booting, phone is asking for unlock code. if I will choose dismiss button then it will not allow to use phone. (Only SoS service is available)
(3) Any GSM/UMTS -> It gives error that insert sim card. current phone donot have any sim card and if i will insert card then situation becomes same as above mentioned case 2. (Only SoS calls)
(4) Automatic -> same as case3.
My question:
Currently, I dont have GSM sim card. So, I want to try option 2. I want to try another service provider(CDMA) sim card
Please let me know how to solve this problem?
Thanks

CDMA doesn't use SIM cards... or do they in Japan? only GSM uses sim cards. you will need a GSM sim to test GSM. no way around it with the stock OS that i'm aware of. so buy a GSM sim.

It sounds like you need to set the APN for your carrier.

On the AT&T version the necessary menu is not enabled. Check this thread where someone asked the exact same question a week ago and I posted how to enable it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223323&highlight=networkmode
I'm wondering if I'm the first guy on earth experiencing this problem.
I got an AT&T unlocked HTC One (M7) in the US and brought it with me to Brazil. I introduced the SIM card in it and it worked perfectly for phone calls. However, I can't get the internet access through the network. Brazil only works with 3G at the moment.
I called HTC and they told me to dial *#*#4636#*#* and change the settings for the network under "set preferred network". They told me there would be no guarantee this would work, but I should try.
I tried all the options from WCDMA, CDMA, GSM Only and so on and still could not get the mobile data access.
Right now, internet works only with Wi-Fi. So, he said that I could try finding help on XDA Developers.
So, is there anyone who knows what I should do next?
I wonder if rooting would resolve it, but it seems pretty much a device problem.

Make sure you have a 4G sim and make sure you are in a 4G area
But also, are youtalking about hspa+ or LTE?

take the same sim card in some local 3g andorid phone in brazil and try again .to make sure your sim card support 3g network , and you say you can not access network by your phone. i doubt if you have a data plan .maybe you should take a phone call to your carrier to check the data plan of your sim card
Thanks for the tips. I solved my problem by calling the provider. It was ANP setting issue. I wasn't getting it right the way it was supposed to.
Thanks again!

Where did you purchase the phone? I've been looking at the 7.2, but I can't get a straight answer if the US version supports dual SIM. The models I do see for sale that explicitly state dual sim are lacking US LTE bands. Perhaps you have one of those?

That's a good point I had not considered. I know I was trying to help the OP, but we were not successful.
I have model TA-1178 and it works fine on MetroPCS; however the SIM card tray only has one opening. The location for the second SIM is outlined but not removed 'cutout'.
I purchased mine Unlocked from Best Buy, and it is listed as Dual SIM. I just never paid much attention as it was a feature I did not need / want.
