Hi,
I am on t-mobile network, my problem is that i don't seem to get EE network on my S3, it will change the between t-mobile n orange not ee. When I insert sim into iPhone then I will get EE network. I have tried unrooted n rooted but no EE.
Now when am on t-mobile network my Internet is really good but as soon it's moves to orange network then Internet is really really slow, I mean 34kbps.
I have contacted t-mobile n tried everything but no luck.
Is this something to do with S3?? Anything I can do? Any advice appreciated

I'm on t mobile/Orange through t mobile, Orange signal is rubbish, never gets h or h+, but as I'm on t mob, it reverts to them by preference I think, only switching to Orange when it looses signal.
I used to be on Orange, and then I always had to go into settings and select network (choice of EE or EE!) So it's a bit hit and miss.
I also sometimes get it showing as t mob in notification draw, and sometimes EE, all very confusing.
EE sucks!!! Nothing wrong with your phone.... I've got Orange and 3UK. With the second one I'm more than happy. Download up to 26Mbps!
I never get EE on my S3....do you ever get EE?
Also is there an easier way to swap networks?

Are y you with orange or t mobile?
I'm with Orange and I've never had a problem in having H+ my carrier signal mostly shows EE.But isn't that all it is? a re branded carrier signal from orange and T-Mobile?
It's weird cos I get EE network when I put sim into iPhone
T mobile
Why is it that I don't get EE anywhere? Also I do get H+ but Internet is awful... Am thinking it's something to do with my S3 or firmware, radio etc

Are you on latest mb5? Are you locked and branded?
Also don't about it displaying ee or not, the other thing you could try is go to tmob website and get the apn settings sent to your phone, they may need updating
Sorry don't know about mb5? How do I find out? Plz
Unlocked n unbranded
I have done t-mobile website but apn setting does NOT come over to my phone for some strange reason... I have entered ee apn setting manually but still no EE network. I am not fussed what network it is on as long as I can get Internet!
Currently limited Internet on orange n full on t-mobile.
Download mb5 here. http://live.samsung-updates.com/details/7693/Galaxy_S_3_International/GT-I9300/BTU/I9300XXEMB5.html
Flash with Odin, this is the latest UK unbranded
Once you've flashed the MB5 modem & matching RIL, go to settings, more settings, mobile networks, network operators and make sure 'select automatically' is chosen.
Then go back to mobile networks, access point names and delete all the APNs listed. Then create a new APN but only complete these fields; name: Everywhere APN: Everywhere
Reboot the phone and you should have a better experience.
You can also find a CWM flashable MB5 modem & RIL in kamalmawa's thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2076857
I already have that installed..xx mb5
Am also rooted on vanilla rootbox... Is that a problem?

Have you contacted to your operator it could be helpfull also
Yes.... As far as they concerned everything is fine.
Also bear in mind that the network is undergoing a lot of engineering at the moment due to the marrying of the two networks and the LTE network introduction, but for me Orange has always been rubbish so I just select t mob and live with the pain of selecting the network occasionally if it gets hung on Orange

So I just download above mb5 n install via CWM? What about RIL? How do I install that? Will I to unroot or just installing stock rom?

Just flash the zip in recovery, the RIL is included and it will even backup your existing modem. No need to play with root or the ROM, as long as your current ROM is rooted.
Thanks, will try

I'm in South Korea, using a sony x10. I wasn't sure if the latest gingerbread update would be released in my region, so I decided to flash the firmware myself to the latest stock gingerbread (2.3.3).
Afterwords I lost 3g access and my carrier says it's my fault or nothing they can do.
Afterwards, I rooted the phone and installed a custom kernel and still it's not available(I figured it was worth a shot).
I can see and select my mobile service provider(Sk telecom) in the list of data service providers, but my phone is not downloading any APN info from my carrier.
Any advice?
Hi,
search for APN information from your provider in the internet and enter them manually.
Somehow my APN got two additional letters and I had no 3G. I corrected the information manually and all is fine now.

You need to set up your wireless apn go to:
menu/settings/wireless & networks/mobile networks/network mode/gsm/wcdma preferred (click it)
Then Back button/Back button/sony ericsson/settings download then wait a few you will see it (3g/H) flash on (you do not have to click it it's just saying that is your network) then go to:
Back button/wireless & networks/mobile networks/access point name. there should be two apns
one wireless/one mmsc. if for some reason you have three make sure that the top one (the house icon 3g) is checked or you will be roaming
And always remember to backup your Settings and APNs,and anything else you need to keep. There are free apps on the market to do that but the pro/key versions have more settings and help the developers and no adware. Hope this helps if not all be here tomorrow or i'm sure someone else will help too i do have some apns just tell us what network your on an we can help you set them up. Good luck
No APN info shows up at all. If I go to Sk telecom service center, can they give me the info to manually input it?
My network is for SK telecom in South Korea. Any other info you need about the network?
You can try an all see if i can find it. So give me a day and all post it
Sorry no luck that an Three other Country's i can't get for some reason. It's a bummer
Maybe someone else here can help.
HI, I have a problem withe Internet connection in my phone. I bought it in Three Ireland and there was no possibility to change between 3G and Gsm. So i flashed new KI3 stock rom and then I was possible to do it. After I flashed the Batista rom and when I changed it to GSM I got a message that I lost internet connection and R icon over signal bars. Phone was showing GSM connection but there was no Internet in the phone. I changed it back to Auto but that R was still there and no internet. I recovered my stock firmware but it didn't solve the problem. I went to Settings->Wireless and network->Mobile networks->Network operators and chose 3 (3G) network. It helped but when I turned off the data I got that R letter and after turning it back on only GSM and no internet. Anybody know the reason? Thanks for help.

Q: Where are you located now?
The sim is roaming, same as mine, as I am out of the UK and have the small R showing. You also have the phone ex Ireland, so it will be configured for there.
If you are in the UK then you will have to change the rom to a stock UK one, including the csc.
Are you on a UK sim?
No, I am in Ireland all the time where I bought the phone. I got that when I changed form Auto mode to Gsm in data settings. Then I got the message Internet connection lost and R letter over signal bars. When I switched back to Auto mode still had that R and no internet. I had to chose manually network operator to 3 (3G) to get it back working.
If you are in the UK then you will have to change the rom to a stock UK one, including the csc.
NO just change the CSC to UK version if problems or enter network settings manually .

I am in Republic of Ireland not in the UK. CSC is stock all the time: XEU.
Hi everyone,
I was using adfad666's KANG rom on new baseband using my old SIM card, but just moved to the US and got a T-Mobile prepaid SIM. I wasn't able to get signal using this card, though it was working on other mobile phones.
I thought it could be due to the new baseband, so I downgraded and tried a few roms for old baseband. Right now I'm with SlimGen, based on nightly, with no success. I also tried flashing aspee's baseband fix, but didn't get it working either.
Right now, automatic network searching says "Registered on network", though a warning sign appears on the tray saying "Selected network (T-Mobile) unavailable".
I've been reading this forums for a solution but I haven't been able to figure it out yet. Has anyone had this problem before?
What combination of baseband, ROM and patches should I try?
Thanks
EDIT: I'm also not able to find WIFI networks when scanning, though I'm not sure it's related.
It's possible it's the sim card, but you should first try updating the APN list: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/wiki/APNlist

I don't think there's a problem with the SIM, as it works on other mobiles.
I'm not sure about this, but aren't APN's for data access only? I don't have regular 2g/3g signal.
It seems you use T-Mobile in the US, what baseband/rom/patch combination are you using? I would like to take that out of the way first.
I'll try to set up the APN, nevertheless.
Thanks
I have a Sprint Galaxy Note 3, Model : SM-N900P. But I am living in Malaysia, I am suspecting the different CSC will not allow me to connect to my 4G network (I am sure I am within the 4G coverage area, and my SIM card is 4G enabled) My current CSC is XAS, My region CSC should be XME.
I downloaded the Malaysia Stock ROM "N9005XXUGNI4_N9005OLBGNL1_N9005XXUGNL1_HOME.tar.md5" and tried flashing it via Odin but failed. Odin tells Security check failed.
Can anyone advise how can I flashing the Malaysia Stock ROM into my Sprint Note 3, or if this is possible technically?
If flashing other country stock ROM is not possible technically, how about changing the CSC from XAS to XME? probably without Root.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

I also using SM900P in Penang, seems stock ROM works well with Celcom SIM card, so I don't think using different ROM is necessity

Great to know some one in Malaysia using the same model! So are you using the latest stock Sprint N900PVPUDNK4 ROM? What is the network mode at your setting?
As for my case, my network (including cellular network) disconnected at all when I switch to LTE/CDMA mode which the only mode that has LTE. So I have to switch back to automatic to have phone and mobile data connected, however only H+ connection, but no LTE.
Please let me know your network mode setting… and also any setting you have made over APN?
Network is automatic, also only H+ only(suspected it's also 4G?), using latest stock of 4.4.4 NK4 with root.

HI Eric,
As far as what I know, H+ is definitely not LTE connection. LTE connection shows a "4G" sign at the task bar.
You have the same ROM as mine, stock NK4 (4.4.4). So the only LTE option you can choose in the network mode is LTE/CDMA. But referring to another note 3 of a friend of mine which bought locally via Maxis. The network mode should look like "LTE/WCDMA/GSM (auto connect)"
I then found a way to get my network mode set identical to this. Using root explorer, in system/csc/sales_code.dat. open this file using text editor, change the XAS to XME then save it, restart phone and you should get the network mode LTE/WCDMA/GSM (auto connect)
However, I still unable to achieve 4G connection, even when I'm in 4G area. Unless someone can confirm that SM-N900P is not 4G capable in different region (my region, Malaysia) due to hardware limitation, probably different 4G band frequency (I don't know)… or I should keep trying…
Still hoping someone who can help!
Hey guys, recently I've got an Alpha SM-G850A which is for AT&T. I live in Iran and the phone has been unlocked to work here, I was trying to get the Android Lollipop 5.0.2 for my phone. so first I tried to get the update from AT&T software update by phone, but it says that there seems to be no updates available for me, nevertheless on the net the guys claim that they've got the update, is it due to my location in Iran and my internet IP? (I used VPN too but again, no updates). I tried to get the firmware from Sammobile.com too, but there were no firmwares detected for SM-G850A. Can someone help please?:good::good:
BTW, I've got the cellular data from my operator, and it works, but I can't select which type I wanna use (2G, 3G or 4G). I mean there's no options in the phone settings to select the data connection type. NEED HELP!

Even tho the phone is working on other networks you will still need an at&t sim card to update it. There is no way around this as far as i know.
Type below code in dialer and select Device information. Now, if you scroll down you will have the option to change network type.
Code:
