Hi, I'm not sure what's the problem with my phone I will try to explain so someone could point me into the right direction:
I have a Galaxy S3 bought in Venezuela carrier locked to Movitar, I had it rooted and with a custom firmware (cyanogen), I moved to Spain so I purchased the unlock from galaxy sim unlock. I have put another line from a Spanish carrier and phone can make calls and all. Here's were the problem starts, I notice that the only way to enable mobile data was to activate data roaming which I found odd given that I'm in Spain and it is an spanish carrier. Also notice that the play store still had some icons related to the carrier back in Venezuela and all the recomended, top free, top paid apps where mostly localized to Venezuela. I tried to install some apps from Spain play store and it won't let me. Searching on google found that to change the play store I had to change the country in the Google account which I did with no results, change any payment methods related with the other country in Google Wallet, which I also did and no result.
I think that maybe there is still some information about the original carrier, so I ask the community if someone can point on what could I try to remove any carrier leftover on the phone.
Thanks in advance
Problem reads as user failed to change modem or CSC .
In recovery format sdcard system data and cache .
Boot to download mode and flash the correct stock rom for your network .
Hi Thanks for your suggestion, but wouldn't be the same to wipe data and cache from recovery and flash cyanogen 10.2 from recovery? I ask because I have done that and it is still the same issue

Hi everyone, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to post here so I apologize if this i s the wrong section. The problem is simple, I rooted my phone and installed a different firmware version which already had the market as a stock app (before I couldn't connect to the market). Now I can connect and browse but apps are stuck at starting "downloading". I searched on the forum, I contacted the android market guys but nothing seems to work.
Here's a list of all the things I've already done with no result whatsoever:
Sign in and out of Google Talk repeatedly to restore connection to google servers (google talk or gmail don't give me any problem)
Ensure there is enough space on device for the app to install
Reboot device
Confirm there is strong connectivity on device, and contact mobile service provider
Try download(s) using both WiFi and network (3G/4G) connections
Unmount and remount the SD card
Cleared Market, Download Manager and Google Services Framework cache and data
CheckedIunchecked/rechecked background data, auto-sync, date and time settings
installed oldmarket app and tried using market older version
installed 3.20 market version (I had 3.15)
factory reset and reinstalled the firmware (and went through all the steps again)
went to samsung center to see if there was something wrong with the device
Does anyone have any ideas about how to solve this? It's really frustrating and it's starting to get on my nerves quite a bit.
Any help would be really appreciated.

Im having the same problems. I've even updated to 3.1.6 and still same problems. Android market is slow and I have to try 20 times to go to my app list and do an update.
...anyone?
any ideas at all?
Have you tried to flash any other type of ROM as well as different Radio nor Kernel?
Meanwhile if you need to install an app, you could do it from your computer browser via market, while you find out a solution to solve this problem.
Normally what I do is simply clear the market and google frameworks cache and data, but seems like for you is not working.
At this point must be a radio issue or a ROM issue.
Same problem anyone got solution ?
Have u guys tried Market Enabler? Sometimes it works for me.
Sent from my GT-I9100
Same problem as well. after install the new android market the problem persist.
please help.
what does market enabler has to do with anything?
Same problem here. Any ideas?
i cant find anything usefull in google.
i tried installing to the new market, but the problem persisted.
after a hard reset, the market works for awhile, then the problem happen again.
updating to the latest market version does not help as well

Sorry, but I am not quite sure what your problem is.
You have installed an app or a widget which needs to access your contacts, and you deleted this access?!
Then you should try to un-install the app / widget and re-install it again.
Or has an app or widget deleted (your access to) your contacts?!
Then you should delete this app / widget, and restore your contacts from a backup (Google, KIES, etc.).
Good luck !
The problem is that if you change the rom, the phone gives me problems, for me ejmplo delete access to my contacts photo favorites, also when I download some applications market, will not let me install, it tells me package file ... not valid.THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!!
give us deletes about your phone.
go to settings-phone and give us details about your model and currebt rom version.
I have a feeling you maybe trying to flash a rom that is not meant for your version of the phone.
my phone had 2.3.3 android I9100BVKH1 ORIGINAL ORANGE SPAIN, I updated with the orange android 2.3.5bvkj4 kies, but not if something went wrong because my phone started giving problems, then install all types of roms and even Cyanogen, but continues with these things, market release applications and some say I can not install the file package is not valid .... so here install from the original orange spain and now I have the android 2.3.5, version i9100bvkj4 base band, Kermel i9100bvkj4-2.6.35.7-cl681297roor @ dell135 # 2, gingerbread.bvkj4 compilation. but everything remains the same friends, and when you connect it to kies, tells me that I can not update! think it messed up because I still have my original efs. thanks for your help! I hope someone of solution, if not take him to the technical service, because I'm desperate now.
As you have no warranty after installing custom roms your best solution is to start from a clean phone .
Download stock firmware for your phone and Odin ,
Backup data .
Boot phone to recovery go to Mounts and Storage Format cache data system and sd card .
Remove battery replace and go to download mode flash stock rom via Odin .
If it then needs warranty service use usb jig to reset custom rom counter .

I have a problem on my Galaxy S3, running android 4.1.1 on Vodafone network in the UK. It is not rooted.
I want to make sure the phone is unlocked before buying a sim card for use in France
Using the stock dialer, "*#7465625#" gives me "ussd code running" followed by "Unknown command".
Looking around elsewhere, others have blamed it on Mobile Tracker, which as far as I can see, I don't have. The only solution I have seen is a factory reset, which is a scary prospect for me, not having any idea what that entails. And then reinstalling apps one by one until the culprit is found. I have also seen comments about ussd security issues. I am slowly heading out of my depth here (I know my way round windows quite well, but phones are unknown territory for me,).
I am hoping some clever souls on this forum might be able to help. Is this a known, and solved, problem? Or is a factory reset my best bet?
If I have to reset, I know where the reset is in the menu system - on the same page as a checked box saying backup. So...does does the back up happen automatically or when I press reset or have I got it completely wrong? If not, which files do I need to save away from the phone? What happens to things like contacts I can remove the external SD card, so that won't be an issue. How do I reinstall the apps, particularly the ones I have already paid for?
I have spent most of the afternoon tried to get a handle on this and my head is spinning now.
Any help at all, would be very warmly received.

1st solution : root your phone, very easy procedure then you can flash the same stock ROM from sammobile.com to become unrooted again without wiping/resetting your phone.
2nd solution: download APPSAVER from market for free, then you can save all the applications you have downloaded but not the DATA (for example you can save the game itself but not the progress you have achieved)
as for the contacts, go to the contacts folder - menu import/export - export to usb storage and voila all your contacts will be written in a single file that you can import after you reset your phone
as for SMS, you can download "SMS Backup & Restore" from market for free to backup then restore your SMSs
after you perform the above, go to Settings - Back up and reset - Factory data reset and your phone will be back as you received it.
On the other hand if the phone is locked you can always unlock it using Voodoo S3 on the Play Store, it can sim-unlock your device if you're rooted of course.
Great reply, thank you!
Rooting...a bit loth to do that while still under guarantee and at my level of experience. One day I will get hold of an old phone and try it with that first.
Appsaver - what a brilliant app, thank you again. If it is one particular app that is the problem (and that is the sense that I get from elsewhere), then I can use this to back up my apps, uninstall them all, check for the ussd error. If it has disappeared, then reinstall apps one at a time until the error reappears. If it hasn't disappeared, then I can go the reset route, after backing up contacts and SMS.
Thank you so much for your help.

Ah. The more I try to read up on this, it feels the more lost I get.
How do I check whether the phone is unlocked...borrow someone's micro sim card?
Hello everyone and hope to find a solution to this problem that I caused myself.
A couple of days ago I came to buy a mobile for eBay, with very good features but that only brought two languages English and Japanese, after much research weno to rotearlo, I got you can rotear and is very easy, the question was to use a root desinstador to remove applications in Japanese, that is the question I deleted such that a Mobil has been almost useless, it lights have wifi but no network are not phone applications or contact, it says nothing about the SIM requests and configuration pin or setin gives many fs if it enters network.
Theirs would reinstall the official ROM but I can not find it, if I try to update it does not detect wifi Trough docomo network, tb I watched the efs folder and is not, and can not think of more, one thing in the middle of it desinstaciones I made a backup with titanium backup but not because reason gives me error and not installed, when I made this copy option worked even though I had uninstalled call phone icons and the calendar.
Another thing is that now I have the baseband because I don not known or something.
If you also have looked but I see nothing, I found and downloaded this F02E_F0001_V16R46A.tar.gz
I think it's the original rom unzipped weighs 900mg but remains in extension. tar and not as flasearla.
In conclusion let a disaster, so I do not know what to do with it, I may have a solution say hello.
You need to reset the phone.
Go to settings -> Backup&reset -> Factory data reset.
Note that Backup&reset is located in settings under "Personal" -> "more".

Hi,
I discovered a strange (or maybe not so strange) behavior on my S3 (I-9300) today:
As I restart my phone and wait for it to boot before I enter my PIN to unlock my SIM card, the language gets changed to German (Switzerland).
Now I am not sure where that comes from. Fact is, I bought this phone in Switzerland, and I have a Swiss phone provider (Lebara) that uses a Swiss network operator (Sunrise). My phone number is therefore also Swiss. However, I live in the French speaking region of Switzerland (I actually live in France about 200 yards away from the border), but not in the German speaking part.
Here is the funny part and also the reason why I only found out today (and this makes it hard for me to troubleshoot it): If I enter my PIN as soon as I practically can (i.e. I do not give my phone the time to fully boot, which is what I always did until today) the language setting is conserved (i.e. it sticks to English, which is my system preference).
Also, if I do not enter my PIN at all and I stay on the lock screen, the language also stays English. Once I enter it though, it switches to German like 2 seconds later.
Could it be possible that my language setting is somehow tied to:
my provider / phone number / network operator?
my location (I have location completely disabled btw) ?
my IMEI or some other device related information?
Has anybody experienced something similar?
I am using Android Revolution HD 29.0 btw...
Any comment is highly appreciated.Thanks!
Only initial language is dependant on your CSC and sim card, once changed it will stay. Reflash your rom or go back to stock to test.

Ok, here is what happened:
I observed this behavior after updating some of my apps via Google Play yesterday. So I suspect one of these updates triggered this odd behavior.
To further troubleshoot this, I turned on Flight Mode yesterday after booting my phone (and having changed the language back to English). As I turned off Flight Mode again, without rebooting the phone, the language switched back to German again.
This made me assume that it must somehow be related to GSM/my network operator. I do not select my network operator automatically, but I choose it manually (since I live close to the border and want to avoid roaming fees). So I went back into settings and selected my network operator manually again.
This resolved the issue. Language setting no longer gets reset after reboot.
Hope this helps someone who one day might face the same issue.
Thanks

The only app we have in common is SuperSU. Try setting your network operator again (Settings > More Settings > Mobile Networks > Network Operators)
Let me know if it does not work.

I'm running a custom rom on a samsung Galaxy tab plus and have been having exactly the same issue, originally it seemed triggered for me by turning of my bluetooth connection. I ended up reinstalling the rom and having thing work right step by step until google play did its updates which caused my language to reset to Russian.. After finding this thread and realizing we all have the same app in common " Super user"
This raised my attention where I went into the superuser app, I un installed Superuser and re installed a different superuser from Google play, this seems to have solved the issue, and my language is now not reset on reboot, hope this helps someone.
I tried to uninstall supersu and probl is fixd, but I need root and installed again supersu and problem no exists, pls help to solve.
Same thing is happening to me on my rooted touchwiz phone, it also has SuperSU installed and was recently updated.
It's running 4.1.2 and every other reboot it sets to english (UK) all by itself (that's it's default region)
So many system restores/wipes/restores over the last two days and thought it was just I that was getting it at first
So it happened again the other day. It is a SuperSU issues which has been addressed with the latest release.
Hi,
I had the same problem with Galaxy S III purchased from UK, flashed Czech version of stock rom (rooted) and czech SIM card. The language reverted from English to Czech after every restart. (Google Play store also asks me for another confirmation of the terms and Google voice typing is turned on after restart, although it may not be related to the problem.)
Updating SuperSU from Play store didn't help. Manually choosing my operator solved it (Settings > More Settings > Mobile Networks > Network Operators).
Still no solution!
Hi all,
OK, I notice that this thread is pretty old but still without a solution. Sadly I am not offering one, only concurring that my phone, not rooted, has the same problem. It is an Austrian sim card (3 network, German language as standard) and reverts to German with every on-off, restart or flight mode. Hopefully by now someone has solved this niggle as it appears to have been around for quite some time.
After trying factory reset and setting all apps, the phone settings and Apex to English without success, my assumption is that the sim card is to blame as I had an Austrian 3 sim in my last phone and had no problems at all.
BTW I have a new sim now (same provider and phone number) to unlock the NFC capabilities of the new phone.
Feedback would be greatly appreciated, a solution even more so!
Thanks
