Hi, i got Lenovo S696 phone from friend. It was buy from China. And now the unit is bring to Indonesia. Something weird is happen.
The phone is Dual SIM, when i use local operator SIM, it say "Unknown type card" both, but there is signal bar show on menu bar. Also it can't connect to the internet, the APN list can't show local operator APN and ii can't be edited.
I did try to find some ROM (english ROM) but S696 seem to unpopuler model, so there is no ROM i could find, anyone can help me?
Does upgrading ROM/firmware can make the SIM card works at my country???

No, it wont work until you flash it to a provider in your country. Sense the phone was activated in another country, your not going to be able to use networking because the provider is out of range. Also if you get signal, and the provider from the phone's country has retail stores in your country, then the networks in your country could be blocking your phone from receiving networking, sense its using a different area code, ip,etc.
You best bet is going to your local service provider and getting the for unlocked or flashed to that service. They will give you a new SIM card and everything should work awesome

You have to root your phone first using SRS Root application, then install an application from Play Store that called HiAPN Global, use that to set your default APN settings, about "Unknown Type Card" just rename your sim card to a desired carrier.

Hi, I bought the EU model Galaxy S 2 off E-Bay that is already rooted and unlocked via software. I read online that the social hub uses the sim card to verify the location of the phone when adding IM accounts (not sure why but it does). My sim card is a US T-Mobile sim card. Whenever I try adding my windows live messenger account through the social hub, it says error occurred. I read that this happens because of the sim card not being EU.
So my questions are:
A) Would a custom ROM fix this problem?
B) Where in the source code can I find the application and modify it, if that is a viable option to solving my problem?
I also spoke to a T-Mobile rep about the 3G not working and he said it was because it was a EU phone. Anyone know if there is a workaround to get this phone on T-Mobile's 3G/4G instead of EDGE?
I appreciate the help.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that the reason I even want to add windows live to this phone is because I want to take the contacts out of my wp7 and import them to this phone. Only way to do this is through cloud though.
EDIT2: Some more info that might help

Sorry I'm another noob to android.
I have an unlocked but branded O2 GT-I9100, I am trying to use a Tesco sim, everything works apart from the mobile internet. I have manually set up the Tesco APN on numerous occaisions but still can't it. When I put an O2 sim in, everything works perfectly.! I have tried vodafone sim and it's the same as Tesco. It seems like the firmware is somehow blocking anything but O2 from accessing the data connection. Is there an easy soloution.? thanks

Remove all APN's. Add only the Tesco APN, ensuring you choose 'default' as APN type. Reboot. Check to ensure the Tesco APN hasn't gone away after you've rebooted. Test.
If you've already done the above, I'm tipping the phone's locked (it does sound that way from the details in your post; you're having the same problem with two sims/different carriers).
O2 phones are meant to be unlocked anyhow....same as unbranded.
Can you confirm youve had the phone since new.
It shouldn't matter if the phone is locked or not as Tesco use o2s masts and so the phone won't know the difference
If voice calls work then presumably that proves the phone is unlocked and it is therefore most likely to be an APN settings issue?
I use a GiffGaff SIM in an unlocked SII GT-I9100 which operates in the same way as Tesco (both run as 'virtual operators' on the O2 network). Once the GiffGaff APN settings are applied the data connection works fine for me.
Maybe you can post the exact settings you're using for your Tesco APN configuration and someone can take a look at them.
Alternatively, are there any apps that help with APN settings? Tweakker, for example, claims to cover Tesco Mobile so might help. Note that there is a separate "Tweakker ICS APN Beta" for Android 4.x devices.

Thank You All for replying, I have fixed the problem. I have de-branded O2 from the phone and the APN is now working on all networks
using Odin3
Firmware: I9100XWKF1
Andriod Version: v4.0.3
By 'debranding' do you mean you flashed a different rom/CSC or simply removed all the guff/apps carriers put in their stock roms ?
Edit - Glad you got it sorted BTW

I Flashed the firmware and now it's like straight from the factory.. lol
Which firmware (I.E which carrier's stock rom or was it unbranded UK, or something else entirely ?) single file in PDA section of Odin or multi-part ? Reason I'm asking is if someone else has a similar problem, your solution might give them some clues as to how to fix it if we know exactly what you did.
This is what I did

I googled the problem, and found a website that de-brands, even tho I could probably find the software for free, I bought it (£9.99) and followed the instructions :
C:\Program Files (x86)\FoneFunShop i9100 Debrand Pack\Guide\I9100_Guide.html
Hope someone finds this useful

I have bought a Chinese phone juma v9 from UAE but it came with network restrictions. In my country india, Data traffic works well but no income or outgoing calls. When calling it shows 'no network available' but it shows full network in network bar along with 4G written on it. I think there is country / network lock on this device.
How can I unlock this?
It is a rooted phone. Following are details
Company- Juma
Model- V9
Android- 6.0
Build no.- Android 11.1.01.22.LXY
Custom build no.- ALPS.L1.MP6.V2
Also is there any custom rom available for this device.?
Thanks!

Hi Guys Im using a SM-G965N in the UK, when I try to register for the Pie Beta it give me the message "Your sim card doenst match the service provider software on your phone. This is common if you've changed service providers or if your phone and SIM card are from different country's" Im using the 3 network in the UK and the phone is LGu... Anyone have any work around..?
Anyone? I have exactly same problem. I got sm-g965n with LG Uplus carrier living in other country. Can i just flask stock firmware in my region to get rid of all the bloats and also is there a way for me to participate in pie beta? I can also swap this one with carrier unlocked SD845 version. Can i flash US stock on that one also?
Hi guys, I'm running into a similar issue with G965F device in Canada.
Here's what I've been able to piece together. Each device is a hardware variant and can use a specific set of firmware variants (sometimes called Multi-CSC). Your hardware variant is G965N. And if you look at sammobile for hardware variant, you can see the set of firmware available for this specific device. Unfortunately for you, there is ONLY Korean firmware for this hardware variant. For me, I have many more options but still no Canada!
It it completely inadvisable to flash the firmware onto your device that is not specifically tailored to your hardware. It's especially stupid when the firmware is tailored for an entirely different chipset (for example, Exynos firmware for Snapdragon hardware). But even if the devices use the same chipset, there may exist other hardware differences that will cause instability/errors/ bricks/unknown.
So as far as I can tell, we're all screwed. Have a nice day
Great news. I got into Pie Beta with my g965n. I was about to change my phone when i found LG Uplus sim card in my country. I put the sim card in and was able to register and download OTA. Now i am on android pie.

I found it almost by luck. I was at this phone store when i randomly asked from a lady selling smart phones whether she had Lg Uplus sim card or not and she said yeah i got few. You can have one. That is how i found one. I wouldn't be able to ship it outside country without reliable shipping service in my country.
