I am a bit confussed. Trying to get a straight talk s2 to work on t-mo for my brother. Rooted and running the collective rom on the phone. popping his t-mo card in the phone does not bring up a sim locked message, and I get no carrier signal. What do I need to do to get voice signal. does data work on this with a t-mo card? Do I tell him to move on?
Thanks
Have u checked out the straight talk s2 thread here....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33902328&postcount=1

Nice. I have NO idea how I missed that. I have been scrounging for a different modem for this thing FOREVER! This is why I love XDA. I pushed the crap outta your thanks button.

I have a Vibrant that i use as a back up phone since i am using the Galaxy Tab 7.7 as my everyday phone. I am using Straight Talk sim on the tab. I wanted to use the Vibrant this weekend and now i get a message when trying to set up the Straight Talk APN "Insert SIM card to access network services". The Vibrant is unlocked so i dont see that being the issue. Any suggestions, i dont want the Vibrant to have gone to waste

I had my Sim socket go bad back on my tilt bit it was after years I hope for your sake you just need a new Sim, stop by your local store and get a new one... Hope it works out for you

Finally got it to work. I re-installed Bionix rom, then rebooted phone with SIM, then just edited the apn, what inhad done was created a new apn but kept getting issues. So for now its all good.

I have an unlocked Samsung galaxy note i717 and was wondering does it support T-Mobile 3g because I never get 3g its always edge and sometimes 4g it sucks so if anyone knows or know a way I could get 3g to come on that would be great thanks alott
No one has tried that yet -- you're the first to ask! Now I'm wondering too.
My guess is you'd have to flash a t-mobile compatible radio. Maybe get the radio from the t-mobile Blaze 4G galaxy phone, because its the same modem chip as the note, is my guess. You'd probably have to input the APN settings, most likely they aren't included in our Rom.
Good luck and let us know if that works.

Yeah it has me wondering because I do have the correct apn settings in and I only either have edge or 4g I never have 3g or an h+ so I don't know
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Yes, that's a good start. But my guess Is you have to install/flash a t-mobile compatible modem because the two networks use different bands for data.
OK thanks I'll try that do you suggest any modems I should try?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Icsblaze. Modem
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Start with the Blaze 4G galaxy phone modem over in the development section. Its a zip file so you need to have a custom recovery (CWR or TWRP). Don't forget the APN settings after you flash.
I think I tried that one before and I didn't get any service at all but I'll give it another try
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
That modem is from a tmobile 4G phone. If its going to work, that's your best shot.

Hey I'm confused. Are you trying to get your Note to work on Tmobile? Why are you trying to get 3G instead of the 4G and LTE?
I'm mot trying to just get 3g but my location it switches from edge straight to 3g my phone won't pick up 3g no matter what I do I'm just tryna get that figured out

Ok, you already get data on tmobile network but you don't like the inconsistent speed.
You can try different modems. But in the end, you may just be in a poorly covered region and will have to live with it.
I installed twrp cuz clockwork recovery wouldn't flash my roms it kept saying installation aborted i tried googling this but no help

I guess I gotta return my i717 because it doesn't support anything on here its probably because I'm through T-Mobile not at&t

OK thanks but quick question since I'm on T-Mobile network to I flash tmobile modems or at&t modems?

They will be under downloads if u used ur phone to download them.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Well I tried flashing the T-Mobile modems but when I reboot I don't have service so I guess I should flash the at&t modems since it is the at&t phone guess it doesn't matter I'm using tmobile service
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
It does matter what modem you use and it depends on your location. ANY and ALL modems should give you phone service at least. So you have a problem. A problem talked about much many months ago. Again Backup, wipe completely, and install the factory ATT ROM using odin. Before you set it up do a factory reset for ****z and giggles. Verify that you have phone service. Then install recovery and superuser. Then install a T-mobile modem. Verify you have data and phone service. Then install the ROM of your choice. Do not reinstall a modem.
And please quit posting everywhere. You have been told what to do by a few now and all you do is rant everywhere. Maybe you should have purchased a T-mobile phone to use on T-mobile and saved yourself the trouble.
Yea but they charged more for the t-mobile version ima prolly wait and sell this one for 300 and put that with my check 2 hrs pf battery life is sad i thought the note would be better then that lol but i already did all that and i know im in a t-mobile 4g area cuz i had a t-mobile phone before and i tried all the modems they are not compatible for this phone im thinking the guy lied to me i think o might have a foreign phone again

again man, slow down.
even reading your posts, its like your going 1000 mph with you hair on fire.
I will ask again, did you go to Super everything thread?
you have ATT phone, use ATT modems. if you are that hellbent on using Tmobile, have you done the SIM unlock???
"Super Everything" is just that. it has everything. I just cant help but think you want everything and you want it yesterday. relax, people will help you.
But i have a tmobile sim though besides i couldn't find any att modems

super everything, and look for SIM unlock.
this will instruct you how to unlock from ATT (getting a code from them) then unlock.
just read it the yesterday as a matter of fact. RANGER CAPTAIN is the author of the thread. in the first post, scroll down a bit and it is listed with some MOD's.
titled "UOCKING STEPS"
once unlocked, then you can put your Tmobile SIM in. as he states this only needs to be done once. you can then flash other ROM's and the process should stick.
good luck
Thanks man sorry for being a noob lol

by the way, if you e spending a lot of time in recovery or constantly flashing something, your battery is going to SUPER SUCK.
your battery should be in the higher end of charged when flashing. recommended 70% or better. could probably get away with 55 or 60 though. again, every time you flash, you take a hit.
Ah ok but a friend of mine used it today it was fully charged went from 100% to 5% in like an hr and 45 min and i was reading on the sim unlock this phone was already unlocked when i purchased it that's how i was able to get t-mobile on this phone i get 4g but it doesn't stay connected i have to restart a lot to get it connected again and most of the time i have no bars so idk maybe i should stop buying unlocked phones lol

I've had this problem too, so try this. Click on roaming, and if that doesn't work, take you sim card out and put it back in, and see if that. good luck! Ultimately I think it's a card problem, and if it happens to me again, I'm going to Verizon and getting another sim

I am trading my att unlocked s3 tomrrow for a unlocked verizon s4. pretty much I just want confirmation that it will work on cincinnati bell which is a gsm provider. I dont care if data works bc I dont have data I use wifi. I just need confirmatio that talk, text and wifi will work. do I have to root it or ne thing. im not new to the game so I know how to root and everything. I just didnt know if they came factory unlocked like the droid dna and I can just pop in my sim and away I go lol. again I dont care about data. thanks for ur answers in advanced!!
