Guys i have a Telstra Galaxy S II and when you put a optus simcard the 3G reception is very poor.
I have seen this thread with the same issue: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=1753318 but no solution?
iPhone 4 gets 4 full 3G bars where the Galaxy cant even maintain 1 bar...
However if you put a Telstra or Vodafone sim it works like a charm..
Please help
So far I have tried flashing different modems and firmwares from xda and still the issue can not be fixed :'(
- Today I got my mate to bring his phone (Galaxy S2 Optus version) and he has the optus version and works like a charm with 4 bars of 3G ....
I don't want to sell this so early
Remarks:
Optus works on 900/2100mhz
Telstra works on 850/2100mhz
Voda works on 850/900/2100mhz
I'm having a similar issue -- just got a I9100T (Telstra branded), and put in an Optus carrier SIM; data speeds are awful.
After 10hr Craze and looking at countless unsolved pages... I have found a perm solution

Sounds great... Care to share?
Put your phone into Download mode by:
Download this modem: http://www.multiupload.com/TWC0R29SEQ
1) Powering down the device.
2) Then you will power up the device like this by: pressing and holding the volume down key + home key + power key until you see the Galaxy Logo ( if you press for too long the device might power down again lol).
3) Enter the download mode by single pressing the Volume Up key.
4) Get Odin3 v1.85 ( from http://www.mediafire.com/?txgeoaik38pr7cq ) and open the program.
5) DO NOT TOUCH OR USE THIS PROGRAM UNLESS YOU DO AS I SAY OR RISK KILLING YOUR DEVICE
5) Click on the "phone" button and choose the download modem.bin file from where ever you have downloaded.
6) Press start and let the program flash the modem.bin file, the phone will restart and you will have full 3G.
If you found this helpful please use the thanks button.

Thanks very much.
Do I have to flash anything else along with the modem.bin file? Is those instructions assuming that the the ROM is already flashed with something else? (Which ROM are you using?)
When I compared the MD5 for this, I see this is the modem.bin for Vodafone's stock firmware (I9100TDUKF4), not the stock Telstra firmware (I9100TDVKF2). But it's working well for you?
You dont have to flash nothing else apart from the modem file...
The modem will work with any aus stock firmware
I have tried well over 8+ modems and the one uploaded above is the only one that works with 9100T on non 850mhz bands
I use kh3 with no issues on both networks

Sorry to bring back an old thread, but....
Hey guys,
I've got an SGS2 i9100T on Vodadone and after flashing different firmwares and custom roms etc, I can't seem to get good reception on the phone anymore.
I've tried literally everything, you name it, I've done it.
- different modems (yes, I've tried the i9100TDUKF4)
- MMI code to change open bands
- flashing back to complete stock Vodafone firmware
I don't know what do anymore, I'm considering selling the phone and buying a generic
i9100 without the damn 'T' at the end of it lol. 'Least then I can use new firmwares and modems without the terrible reception.
Any help is much appreciated, thanks,

Yeah same problem here! Im thinking about flashing back to stock, resetting my counter and taking it back into a store and convince them its a hardware fault.
I have this problem too...does anyone know how to fix this?

Hey, Thanks heaps for that...
I'll try this one too..
I DL'd the whole I9100T Voda firmware to get it this morning..
First 30 Mins were good.... Didn't last long tho....
I am going to sell this phone to a guy with a Telstra Prepaid sim...
As least it will useable for him...
So much for beleiving there is no difference tween a 9100 and a 9100T..
Its just sourcing another 9100 for the same dough that will be the problem.
Anyone in brisbane with a USB Jiggy to reset my counter.....
Currently at 51..... 9100T are poo for optus/optusresellers...
I am in the opposite boat to you guys. I have a generic i9100 running on Telstra-.I have tried every modem, different roms, putting the Telstra stock i9100t firmware on (which worked flawlessly, but no change in signal strength) and still the same average reception.
I'm not concerned about data, but I get call drops and breaking up in half of my house-.I hear them perfectly, but the other party hears me breaking up or can't hear me at all....
I am strongly considering trading for an iphone 4, or something with better signal strength....(I have seen iphones work in my house fine).
Are any of you guys in sydney? It would be great to check if an i9100t actually has something different in the hardware to improve reception on their network...maybe we could trade.
I love this phone, but ths issue is proving more than annoying.... It works fine with an htc desire, and my old defy.
I am in the inner west of sydney, pm me if you want to look at testing our different hardware out.
Thank YOU!!!
WOW Thank you sooooo much!!!!
This has been a problem for SOOO long!
Now it's not
Tried DUKF4, KI3, still bad signal.................
I'm with voda, in North shore...
I currently have a Docomo (Japan) SC-05D which is a Docomo branded Galaxy Note, I have rooted the phone but i'm wondering if anyone knows of any roms or kernels that will work on my phone. Usually I wouldnt have a problem with this, but I do not have the stock Odin file to return it to stock if I should brick it. Anybody?

I doubt anything in the N7000 forum would work for it, given that it uses a different CPU (based on what I can make out from the link below). It seems closer to the i717 Note, but not quite.
http://www.nttdocomo.co.jp/product/next/sc05d/spec.html
It uses the same GPU as i717, but unfortunately the CPU is different:
SC-05D Note uses APQ8060 CPU with Adreno 220.
i717 Note uses MSM8660 CPU with Adreno 220.
So i guess you'd have to ask developers if any custom ROM would work on your device if you simply swapped the kernel with the the one supporting your cpu. Since it uses Adreno GPU which already is supported with i717 custom ROMs i guess it might be possible.
Well I have a kernel for the phone so I'm hoping this will work.
hi, i just got my docomo sc 05d, unlock, on softbank. so do you have any information on which rom that this galaxy note can use?
i found this website (in japanese) providing link for downloading stock rom. there might be other information out there for custom rom, but my japanese is not that good. i have a feeling that the custom roms do not support tv and LTE.
thanks
edit: i kinda softbricked mine just now when i try to tweak the build.prop. anway, for sure, the stock rom from the above link does work. flash it back to stock using odin with the tar file (inside the zip).. back to life, unrooted kinda do some more browsing and i think docomo galaxy note is more similar to the korean version rather than the at&t.

Thinking of doing the same thing here. How difficult is it to do SIM unlock? How does it work on SoftBank network? 1seg works ok?

Just go to DoCoMo shop with your phone, photo ID (for my case Alien Card) and 3150 yen and say you want to unlock. They will unlock without any question.
You don't need to be DoCoMo customer. I am using softbank without any problem.1 seg is working.

DoCoMo version is very similar to Korean version. I tried to flash Korean ICS (http://pspmaster.tistory.com/179) ROM via Odin. At the last moment of flashing, it was failed. I restarted the phone and it booted successfully with ICS, network and GPS was OK. But there were some application failed to start. After I restart the phone again, I got SIM card error and my SIM card was not detected. So I flashed DoCoMo stock ROM from http://www.sammobile.com/ via Odin and my phone now back to original state except one flash count.
I noticed that size of Korean ICS ROM is biggar than DoCoMo stock ROM and that might be the reason for the failed flash.
One thing I am sure that little modification of Korean ROM should work with this phone.

Interesting, didnt know this was possible. So you claim that you can do the SIM unlock by just bringing some DoCoMo handset, without them checking if you are the actual person who had signed the contract for that particular handset?
Maybe i would try this, but my experience with Softbank in this kind of matters does not make me a believer...

Yes, that is what I am claiming and that is what I did. You can see also here http://www.nttdocomo.co.jp/english/support/procedure/simcard/unlock_dcm/index.html . ---"If line subscriptions for DOCOMO cannot be confirmed, the identification of the person who applies is required."
I was afraid too that they would require purchase receipt or something, and I also don't know Japanese much. But luckily I didn't need to explain anything

It works perfectly fine with Softbank network. 1seg also ok. no problem at all. it might give you battery drain problem which can easily be solved by editing build.prop.
i didnt even go anywhere near docomo counter to get this phone i got it at amazon.co.jp. around 38,000 (probably cheaper now), already unlocked.
i no longer use it though. i really really really really want the ics update, so i bought n7000 and gave the sc05d to my gf. the n7000 will cost you around 43,000. you can update n7000 to stock ics. i love it with the new premium suite app. no 1seg is ok for me, coz my japanese is not that good

Yeah......
The first root method they created themselves +1 to their flash counter,and 2 units(1 clean and 1 target)needed, as there nobody in Japan knows to use the CheckFus,which can pulls the stock ROM pack from Kies Server......
And then,there are someone from other country(sure that not from Japan),
puts the stock ROM up,and tolds the SHV-E160S tegrak kernel can done the work without +1,but until now most of the blog sites still have the old method left.
please help me to root my note docomo version and flash other rom. my note getting so laggy everytime im using it.

You can root your phone by following Korean version root procedure as here http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...-galaxy-note-lteshv-e160s-shv-e160kshv-e160l/
After rooting, uninstall/freeze some unnecessary system application those always runs in memory by Titanium backup or any other root uninstaller software. That will make your phone little faster.
I am also looking for faster rom but seems there is no rom yet.
Official ICS update for much older SC-02C (galaxy S II) has been released. Is there any news for SC-05D?
Even there is Jelly Bean update for Nexus and our newer phone is still 2 version lower
Regarding the update: http://www.nttdocomo.co.jp/info/notice/page/120702_00_m.html
・Disney Mobile on docomo F-08D
・Disney Mobile on docomo P-05D
・GALAXY Note SC-05D
will start getting updates about August.
・「F-12C」
・「XperiaTM PLAY SO-01D」
・「XperiaTM ray SO-03C」
・「XperiaTM acro SO-02C」
・「XperiaTM arc SO-01C」
may get updates, but docomo seems to be saying the lack of RAM is making it a challenge for them to get acceptable performance with ICS on these phones:
"■AndroidTM4.0へのバージョンアップ検討中の製品について
以下の製品については、AndroidTM4.0へのバージョンアップの際、メモリ不足となる場合があり、その際十分な性能が確保できない可能性があるため、AndroidTM4.0 へのバージョンアップは見送らせていただきます"
Those phones all have 512MB of RAM.

More about the SC-05D (and perhaps other docomo phones) you might find interesting:
I disabled LTE on my Galaxy Note (SC-05D) yesterday using Samsung's service mode ( *#*#2263#*#* specifically. Google it for more info...) While I do not yet see any longer battery life or cooler running temperature, this change did finally fix a long-standing problem.
Since I got the Galaxy Note over a month ago, I have been unable to access the net while on the train between Yokohama and Totsuka. My phone cannot send email or browse the web in that area pretty much everytime any time of the day.
Until today.
Today I could browse and do everything just like normal. There were no apparent network problems whereas before there was nothing but problems. Apparently disabling LTE resolved the problem.
I had gone to the docomo shop a few days ago because my battery had been drained to zero, so low that the phone could not reboot even with a powered USB cable connected. Maybe the phone requires more current than USB delivers, so it needs the battery for a boot, but mine was too low, I guess.
Anyway, the phone kept cycling through incomplete boots, sometimes mentioning the battery was too low before the full UI was fully loaded, then rebooting again. Eventually it would only buzz every five seconds or so. There was no other response to attempting a power on with the battery in and USB connected. Coincidentally, when I took my phone in and showed it to the staff at the local docomo shop, it began a normal boot (or a normal charge cycle while off . . .) I used that opportunity to ask a lot of questions and make suggestions and requests.
So today I went in again to tell them that I had fixed the one network problem. I did get patched through to a knowledgeable support person, and she tried to understand everything precisely, apologized for the problem, and said she would pass on the info. I asked her when the first service update would be on the phone figuring that would probably solve some problems -- and I asked about the Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade -- again. And this time I got a different answer than the usual non-committance.
On July 2, docomo will issue a press release that may address when the Galaxy Note will get its upgrade. It might happen soon after that, maybe even the next day. So, we Galaxy Note users should check the docomo site on July 2nd. If there is nothing about the Galaxy Note in the press release, a lot of us calling and asking about the update for our malfunctioning phones will have a magnified impact.
Regarding the specific problems with the phone:
- the battery drains fast (perhaps little can be done about this...)
- the phone gets hot enough for the camera to be disabled. Something should be able to be done about this. I can't imagine the Note's current temperature sensitivity is set correctly. For example, today I was typing messages in a restaurant for lunch for about 15 minutes. My phone got up to 42 degrees (I checked later using "Battery Mix"), and I tried to take a photo of my curry set using "Evernote Food", but the camera app said the phone was too hot and refused to run.
- The phone about once a week will lose the network connection and nothing short of a reboot will find it again. This sometimes happens after the phone being in WiFi mode all night and then going out into a 3G area the next morning. Toggling airplane mode does not catch the network.
- The aforementioned cellular black hole between Yokohama and Totsuka when in normal, LTE/automatic mode.
These problems aren't just with me. Searching for related keywords 電池 熱い 弱い すぐ カメラ "SC-05D" will show other people complaining about the same things. I do wonder if the other national and international versions suffer the same fate . . . The LTE chip/ROM is particular to Japan, so I hope Samsung and docomo just couldn't get the best settings for the new configuration before release of the SC-05D but will soon.
Other than these problems, I love the phone. The big size is not causing me much trouble, but it comes in very handy for typing with a decent sized keyboard in landscape mode -- and for eBooks, games, showing photos/videos to others, etc.
This is only for the brave. I take no responsibility if it renders your phone into an expensive brick. As I only have one SC-05D, what I have achieved may not necessarily to the case for you. Still interested? read on.
If you want to test performance of ICS 4.0.3 in SC-05D before the release of official Docomo rom, you can Odin flash SHV-E160K-UF13 (ICS rom for the korean LTE note). Rom can be found at Tegrak's website (http://pspmaster.tistory.com/181; google translate is your friend; I only tried E160K, though roms for E160S and/or E160L may work). Odin will say the flash is an utter failure, showing the big, red, ugly icon and halt progress there. Surprisingly, the phone will boot. Unplug your device, long press power button to force power off, then power on. You'll now be greeted eventually by a new screen with korean letters. Click on the white "arrow" will bring up the language selection section, which now gives us a lot more languages to choose.
One major problem I encountered with this rom is its inability to get onto mobile network. All UK sims I tried (O2, Vodafone, Orange PAYG) failed to hook onto the network. I had some success with one sims I got from my travel in Hong Kong, but reception is unreliable and the phone will drop carrier frequently. As a phone, it's useless. A minor issue I have is this rom is littered with bloatwares. I haven't tried tegrak's kernel for rooting the ICS rom (found on the same website for ICS rom), but, if it works, presumably they can be frozen by TB.
That's that. Everything else works, if not better. Scroll performance is snappier (not buttery smooth, of course), apps load reasonably fast. Occasionally it becomes laggy when switching between apps (or switching on camera), which is not so great, but overall it seems faster. Consumption of battery power is more or less the same as before (when running GB). NFC and Android beam also work, though the apps for handling NFC is purely in Korean. It also boot up must quicker than when it was on GB.
Try at your own risk, don't say I haven't warned you.

Thanks for your post. I tried same ROM some days ago and same thing happened as you. At first boot, the network was ok, but after reboot, my SIM was not detected. That was my primary phone, so I could not afford to use that without network. So I flashed with DoCoMo stock ROM and everything became normal.
GT-N7000 vs. SC-05D Performance
Good bye SC-05D and welcome Gt-N7000. I sold my SC-05D because of the lack of update and slow performance and bought GT-N7000. To justify my exchange, I made a comparison with AnTuTu benchmark and the summery is:
GT-N7000 vs. SC-05D
Total: 3927 vs. 3347
CPU: 6536 vs. 6054;
Memory: 3749 vs. 2973;
I/O: 7025 vs. 5632;
2D: 280 vs. 501;
3D: 2043 vs. 1573.
Except 2D rating, SC-05D is worse in every other category. SC-05D is running on stock Ginger Bread and GT-N7000 is running on stock ICS.
Picked up my Japanese S3 today and looking to root it. I'm reading that using the I9300 is no go since it is a completely different model number. Specs for anyone interested:

The Japanese version doesn't have NFC, only Japan's long-established equivalent.
Anyway, I love the phone, but I can't wait until some of the geniuses on here come up with an easy way to root it.

Negative. Just tried to scan my edy but no joy. My nexus S grabs it fine however. Cannot wait to dump this stupid docomo rom and get a vanilla one on. That or just go back to my Nexus S.
またSC-06DはNFCを搭載していないので、「Android Beam」を拡張したデータ転送機能「S Beam」も利用できない. Yep, no NFC.
SamMobile has a rom out for SC-06D. As soon as the DL finishes gonna give it a go since I tried the I9300 and it just black screens.
i seen that but i was pretty sure that was just the stock rom...which is really helpful if a bad rom is loaded and need to go back to stock...ive downloaded it too and keeping it to the side for emergencies....
The ability to root and throw CyanogenMod 9 on docomo's Galaxy S3 are the two most important factors in whether or not I will buy it in the next couple of months. Can you please keep us updated on your progress, wtfusernameistaken?

The ability to root and throw CyanogenMod 9 on docomo's Galaxy S3 are the two most important factors in whether or not I will buy it in the next couple of months. Can you please keep us updated on your progress, wtfusernameistaken?

My honest opinion is that the phone sucks. No NFC, annoying uninstallable apps, battery gets quite warm, camera is meh, Kies is basically iTunes with a different layout. I went back to my nexus S and passed the S3 off to the wife. Tried to get a galaxy nexus but it would seem that it did so bad in Japan that they liquidated their entire stock 3 months ago. Guess I'll just have to wait for the next dev phone.
The rom on sammobile is in fact the stock rom, but good to have in case.
Your first sentence had me dying. Lol I guess that sums it up, though. I guess I'll start preparing to buy a One X, though I think I'm going to attempt to get the AT&T version and have it unlocked, as it seems that model is more liked than the international version. I don't even play Words with Friends, so Tegra 3, Schmegra 3 for all I care.
In my opinion this is a beast of a phone...nfc not there..it maybe just no unlocked..the screen is great..the 2gb is a major factor...the fact it'll be one if few phones to receive the jelly bean update..even the little tv tuner which I'm sure the statewide doesn't have..the massive support for it...the camera is great, even though some might choose a third party app...people are judging the phone after a few days of use...the real beauty and love affair comes after extended use...having all this potential and being a root and or custom Rom away from unleashing it is mouth watering...already my s3 out performs my s2 in every way...and it can only get better...every day I find or notice something about this phone that makes it more and more awesome...give it a chance and don't be so basis guys...

Hey just got my phone today from Docomo. Let me know when you find a root for it. I just added apex launcher , but need to get rid of all the Docomo crap
A lot of the DoCoMo apps can be uninstalled

You need to install busybox seperately, but it works!

Thanks for the link! How is the osaifu-keitai functionality, does it still work after the procedure?

If you lack Japanese skills I would be hesitant to root. Some of the warnings that come up will not be in english. Not to mention that all the development on the root was done by Japanese and the "documentation" will be as well.
This is my first Android device (and my first post )
I found the amount of Samsung and Docomo apps really ridiculous.
I want to get CM9 onto the device, so I can have a completely clean slate with no remnants of all the shovelware. As I'm new, I don't know how yet, but I've found several guides and videos and such for doing it for other devices, even the other versions of the Galaxy S3. Unfortunately I haven't found too much specifically for the Docomo Japan version, so I'm a little hesitant to try anything just yet. Is there anything that makes the Docomo device different from other Galaxy S3's, anything I should look out for?
One thing to note for anyone else who bought it here in Japan at Docomo, by default they automatically sign you up for a ton of their crap, iChannel, BodyMo, etc., and each one costs monthly. They're very easy to forget about. If you go digging through the "my docomo" site, through the customer support stuff, eventually you'll find the options to cancel each of the stuff they signed you up for. They really do make it hard to get to.
Hi I have installed slim 4.2.1. rc1 official, Andr version 4.2.1 baseband I9300XXELKC. Having troubles with all calls, I cant make any and can't receive neither. On the top left corner appears icon saying that all calls are being forwarded.
What it can be and how to fix it?
Thank you very much advance for an answer :-/
reinstall the rom and it might help
or try unrooting and rooting your phone again and installing the rom again
i'm not a pro i'm still a beginner

Did you follow install instructions properly ie. Format data and system?
Go to call settings and see if the call forwarding option is enabled. If not then reinstall the rom properly or try a different rom

Yes thanks to all - i installed everything the right way and do not have any call forwarding enabled in the menu. The phone has been blacklisted and now i have to reflash it. Does anyone know what exactly should be flushed into my brick ? I bought it on the street cheaper than usually, that's why now I have a problem. Please send me PM if someone has more experience than I do.
If the phone has been black listed then there is nothing you can do apart from learn not to buy dodgy phones from dodgy people on street corners.
You can go to the police and return the phone to the owner, he must be looking for it
In most cases not, since it's usually insurance fraud (especially the ones in boxes with ths stickers still intact)
Why do people buy a 500€ phone on street corners? How about warranty etc?
Samsung does not have to fix your phone, the seller does.

You have already been told,, if it is blacklisted then you can either go to police, report it as stolen/fraudulent and see if they can help you resolve it, or you could get your money back from the seller.
You won't get any other answer here
Hello guys, today i got my galaxy S3 (live demo unit). I was reading about them and saw that the usualy theese phones dont have micro sd and Sim card slots. But mine does. Also imei is accasible everything works fine, only one difference between original one is 11 GB internal storage.
When i got it, I rooted it and now i'm thinking if its possible to write Custom rom's in it? Plz tell me guys if its possible because i dont wanna brick my phone on first day And i wanna know if the Firmwares and roms are different between theese two?
p.s. Sorry for my english skills ;D
