I just purchased a SG SII here in the US and later found out it is a UK phone (the sales rep said it was a US model)
anyway, the phone works great EXCEPT it will not log onto T-Mobiles 3G network. All I get is EDGE which is terrible.
How can I get it to go to 3G?
Spoke with T-Mobile, even got a new sim card. No help
Spoke wth Samsung US - they tried, could not help and then said to contact the UK.
Called Samsung UK and they said it should work, if not, bring it back as it is broken!
anyway, is there some sort of settings that I can change to make it work in the US.
I also need it to work in Brazil as I will be going there and will be using the Brazilian Tim network and installing their sim card.
thank you for your assistance in advance.
The phone is suppose to be:
HSPA+ 21Mbps/ HSUPA 5.76Mbps
EDGE/ GPRS Class 12
Quad band GSM 850/900/1800/1900
Quad band UMTS 850/900/1900/2100
Did you limit the phone to only work with 2G in the settings?
Check Wireless Network settings.
Much more better would be goto Settings->About phone, tell us what Baseband, and Kernel, and ROM version you are using.
Reboot phone.

Exactly, that phone will never work on T-Mobile USA 3G network, refund it or switch to AT&T. Makes you wish someone would regulate mobile networks here.
Edit: SGS2 should work fine on TIM Brazil.
you guys are absolutely certain that this phone will not work on T-Mobile?
what about certainty that it will work on Tim? I live in Brazil and defintely need it to work there.
Here, in the US, when I return next year, I can alway switch over to AT+T.
I need to be certain because if I get to brazil and it does not work, I am screwed because then it is almost impossible to get anything done to it.
BTW- they have been saying that t-mobile will have this same phone in a few months. How will that one be able to work? will it be possible to flash that info to this phone when it comes out?
thanks

The US T-mobile Variant is completely different from the UK model, won't be the same. Also it's true you can never get 3G with T-Mobile, don't know anything about TIM though.
T-Mobile uses the 1700 AWS band which this phone does not use so yes... You will NEVER get 3g or HSPA+ with T-Mobile U.S.
From Wikipedia's list of UMTS frequencies:
TIM Brasil Brazil 2008 April 850/2100

so when you say fine, the phone, 3g to get to the internet, etc etc will all work?
as it is here, the phone works great and when with wi-fi, the internet is great but EDGE sucks ass.
So, as I already know that I am beating the dead horse. 3G here with T-Mobile is never going to happen but it will work with AT+T, in Brazil, the phone for calls will work fine, 3G will also work fine too.
does anyone know about claro, vivo or oi in brazil? just wondering....
and what about other carriers in the US, will it work with anyone beside AT+T?
thanks again. this has been very useful!
EDGE runs on GPRS. Your phone matches TIM's UMTS frequencies so it will have 3G data on that network.

I do not get that, some sort of inside joke?
Why would you buy a phone without checking on what radio bands it works , its not like US has only one provider they all have different bands/frequencies.

as I said in my first post, I was told it was a US version phone. HENCE, I figured it would work in the US.
I buy unlocked phones as I am in Brazil 9 months a year and Cali 3 months a year so I can not be under contract.
but thanks for the help on this.

so if I have been schooled properly. T-Mobile uses 1700 and 2100, so without the 1700 band, it wont work!
I guess I got to talk with AT+T
will any other carrier in the US support this?????
thanks again to all who have helped....

And it does work in US ON AT&T. T-Mobile is only a minor carrier.
So it is your fault.

it seems that only T-Mobile and a few Canadian carriers (and cincinati bell) use the 1700 network! I wonder why?
they need to join the rest of the world and get on board with 2100!

Hi guys
I recently got one of these shipped over to Australia. Now I've encountered a few network issues I'd like help to resolve.
1. I think the only HSDPA/UMTS bands available are only 900/2100MHz. That means I can't get access to Telstra's Next G Network as it runs on 850MHz. Unfortunately I can't get access to the service mode at all and I've also downloaded the network app from the android market to see if I can change the band that way, but that doesn't help either - the app just crashes. I guess there's not much I can do there.
2. According to all the sites I've seen about the specs for the phone - LTE bands supported are 800/1800/2600MHz. But I can't seem to get on Telstra's LTE in sydney. The phone assumes that even with a Telstra sim, I'm on roaming with SK Telecom and it states that 4G roaming is now available. The aforementioned network app is set to "GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto" - yet no LTE!
Perhaps I could flash to another ROM? but I'm not sure which would be applicable? The LG Nitro HD has the closest specs in my opinion. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1. usually, bands are hardware limited. Meaning if you don't receive a particular band, you probably won't ever be able to.
2. what bands does Telstra's LTE operate on? #1 applies here too. If the LTE antenna in the phone doesn't receive the frequency your operator is transmitting on, there's not much you can do.
And in your "Perhaps", why would you even consider flashing a ROM for a completely different phone to yours???? (unless you WANTED to end up with a paperweight)
EDIT: Look at this thread. Specifically what's in post 2, which reads "So it doesn't matter where you buy the phone from, it will work on Telstra unless you go buy the korean version or something." Just googling your model number (SHV-E120S), it looks like that IS a Korean version of the phone. The fact that you say it says something about roaming for SK Telecom (a South Korean carrier) seems to support that.
EDIT 2: a quick google for the SHV-E120S turns up this page, which says the phone is for networks voice GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900, data (HSPA+) UMTS900, UMTS2100, and LTE frequencies LTE 800, LTE 1800, LTE 2600.
According to Telstra's wikipedia page, HSPA on Telstra is UMTS850 and UMTS2100, and LTE is LTE1800. So you won't get full support on all of Telstra's bands with that model of phone.
It looks like you'll prob be stuck with 3G nextwork if you use this phone in AUS.
Remember: DO NOT try to flash ROMs that is not for your phone. I've tried this one time and ended up hard-bricking my phone. NEVER DO THIS!

Ive read a number of XDA sites where people flash and install new modems with different bands. Woudl it be possible to install a 850MHz modem into the above phone?

Hi,
I bought the DNA without a plan in America (not in a actual verizon store, but in a other verizon retailer).
In the Netherlands I put in a Dutch SIMcard from Vodafone (Dutch provider).
After installing the SIM and entering the APN settings of Vodafone the Data connection is not working.
I can call with my phone, but after trying the data connection it attemps to cennect a few times but then it says "connection lost".
I triple checked the APN settings and tried playing with some of the settings, but nothing worked.
I went to the Vodafone store and they said the settings were correct and could not help.
They recommended that i should root the phone and install a european/dutch android version.
Because in the netherlands we do not have 4G yet and this is not an option in european android versions.
They said this might cause the problem.
Does anyone have any ideas to solve the problem? (without rooting)
Or can anybody inform me if rooting and installing a different android version might solve the problem? (no rooting experience)
Any help is appriciated, but also other experiences with DNA in Europe (and data connection) are very welcome.
Thanks in advance.
Well considering you can't install a different android version, that won't work.
Only thing I can think of is that your carrier is using a band the DNA doesn't support. What band does your carrier use?

according to http://androidadvices.com/htc-droid-dna-phone/the DNA supports: quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) and quad-band UMTS/HSPA (850/900/1900/2100 MHz)
Vodafone bands are 900, 1800 and 2000 in the Netherlands
So it should work, right?

According to another forum it just depends on if you have a plan if you have to activate it or not.
If you have a phone without a plan you would not have to activate the phone via Verizon.
If you do have a plan you should activate it.

Yes, but it is also a quadband global phone, this phone can use GSM bands aswell.
at least that is my understanding. since it also works om at&t and canada for example.
Ok installed ukb 1.3.0 Rom and all is working good now! Calls and data I'm happy now
I also changed the networks to gsm/umts only to boost battery since I won't be using lte for now

-- SIM is recognized. Talk works. But no data connection (3G does not work).
I hope to know your APN settings.
Phone is HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
so that explains why the NTT DOCOMO doesn´t work (maybe not in 2100 coverage?)
you must enter the apn settings of your carrier, in this case softbank, and then select it. have you tried it yet?

Ok installed ukb 1.3.0 Rom and all is working good now! Calls and data I'm happy now
I also changed the networks to gsm/umts only to boost battery since I won't be using lte for now

Good to hear your DNA works.
What do you mean ukb rom installed?
I looked it up on this forum, but I suppose you need to root the DNA for this right?
What does it change?

Great info, may I ask you what apn settings you have?
And if you have changed any other settings what those were?
Your comment would be MUCH appriciated.
Thanks in advance.

Many thanks. My area covers 2100 network. My Nexus One is working in 2100 coverage.
I also inputted apn setting of softbank. But 3G data network did not work.

Yes, UKB 1.3.0 requires root and unlocked bootloader. I already get root and tried it, but problem remains.
I suspect that this problem is not solved even if you get root. I may need to update radio image in Droid DNA.
Anyone has information on how to unlock band 4 LTE?
Hello,
I tried to unlock the band 4 on my Redmi 3 Pro without success, using the turorials found on divers webiste / forum.
I'in Canada using Rogers network I need the band 4, 7 and 17 to be fully functionnal.
but no luck so far.
No tutorials for lte are working
Indeed, looks like an Urban Legend

Hello,
I managed to have LTE Working on te Fido/Rogers Network.
Without modifying anything with QXDM
Juste do that (Test with Rogers and Fido)
Modify directly the APN default with ltemobile.apn (for fido and rogers) and restart the phone
Next check the mobile Networks available and you will have Fido 4G or Rogers Wireless 4G the network will switch automatically on 4G.
I believe in this case only the band 7 is used but LTE Discovery can't show me the band i use (even with root)
Urban legend? AFAIK it was legit when it worked with the Galaxy s5.
Hello,
I tested the LTE on the band 7 today with Fido/Rogers
And so far so good

Good for you. Band 7 is not available everywhere for Rogers and Fido I believe.
Sorry, i know it is not directly related to the issue here... but i am from Montreal and with Rogers too...
And want to ask you, what do you think about the phone and how is the network on it so far...

Is there a way to know where it's available and where it's not?
I don't see LTE whatever I'm doing, I even tried to go in *#*#4636*#*# and modify the antenna there... maybe that was the issue I've done.

Even with your suggestion, I'm unable to use band 7 for Rogers, however the tower is like couple of kms away (3-4) so maybe that's the reason why I'm unable to reach it. What I did and that may be the reason why I'm unable to reach it, I reinstalled completly my phone through fastboot since I wanted to remove anything that the seller could have added...
Since I can't connecct on lte, ltemobile.apn removes me of any Internet I could get, I put back internet.com and it was working again but slowly.

Last question on my side, do you use the sim card in slot one or in slot 2 or an hybrid one? I start to think that maybe slot 1 can only achieve 3g connection. I saw couple of answers leading that way.
