Hey bro,
I got a second hand SM-G900T, assuming that is a T-mobile galaxy S5, and trying to use it on canadian's wind mobile. The phone looks like has been unlocked since it can camp on the 4G network. However only data is available. the voice keeps showing not register on the network and i cant make calls. anybody knows why?
many thanks.
Unless you landed on a lemon, try to Odin stock t-mobile tar and go troubleshooting from there.
I wouldn't buy such a device used !
Same issue

I recently unlocked my HTC Aria (Att) and am using it on T-Mobile but it will not connect to the data network i can text and call but not access the internet from tmobiles network. I have been trying to figure out how to make it connect and don't know what to do. I tried setting it up to a new VPN but i don't know if i did it correctly. I am aware that it will only be an edge connection but something is better than nothing. Is there anyone that could help me out?

If you were trying to set up a VPN, that is the wrong option. You need to set up APN settings for T-Mobile. I'm sure if you search you will find the correct settings you need.
So an unlocked Aria's data will work with T-mobile?
Will an unlocked T-mobile device function fully with my AT&T sim card?

Yes to both questions. That's what unlocked means.
The only thing that won't work is 3G data because AT&T and T-Mobile use different frequencies for 3G.
2G data will work fine.

The answer is Yes and No. If your term 'fully' includes 3G data access then no in both cases you will not get 3G data speed. You will only be able to get Edge data, which is pretty slow. So if you need voice and text service and don't mind slow data speeds then go ahead.
Thanks. Well I actually have the problem that I don't get 3G on my Aria for whatever reason .-. Even though I emailed them and they said I should be able to get 3G all I have ever gotten is EDGE. l:
I asked this because I was looking at getting the new Sidekick, but I am seeing if it would be better to just go ahead and switch to T-Mobile, or staying with AT&T and buying an unlocked Sidekick.

Does your Aria have the AT&T logo on the top right? Also, check the model number underneath the battery. If it says A6366 then it should support AT&T 3G frequencies. If it says A6380 then it won't.
How old is your SIM card? You may need a newer one.

I already made a thread for this and couldn't figure out what was wrong, but what was weird was that like 30 mins ago I disconnected from my wifi because I moved my router and stuff, and I was getting G not E, but now that I did it again I am only getting E /:
That was the first time I saw I was getting G
And yes it's an AT&T one, it hasn't been too long since i've had it.
And the under the battery it says A6366

I suspect the "G" you were seeing was for gprs, which if I am not mistaken is slower than edge. Somebody jump in and correct me if I am wrong. If you are running a stock rom, you would see a "3G" not just a "G" if you were actually getting 3G data connection.

G is slower than E. It happens sometimes just because of the nature of wireless networks. Nothing to worry about. When you are getting 3G signal it will say "3G" or "H".
You should really do two things -- first make sure your area actually has 3G. Go to the coverage viewer on AT&T's website, click on "Data" at the top, then see if your area has dark blue ("Mobile Broadband" is what they call 3G on that page). Of course the other way to know is if you have any other AT&T phone that can get 3G signal at your location -- or perhaps a friend's phone.
If you are sure your area actually has 3G coverage, then I'd try going to an AT&T store and asking to switch to a new SIM card. Just explain that you can't get 3G signal on your phone and they should do it for free if the SIM card is old.
Good luck.
Hi, I'm having trouble trying to find which american carrier i should be using with my e120l phone. I tried going to a tmobile store but they say the phone will only work on edge and i tried putting in an at&t sim when i was running on stock ICS and the internet was really slow.
I'm not opposed to using the phone at 3g or 3.5/4g, but have no idea which, if any carriers in america, offer good internet to this phone. Is there a specific combination of ROM/carrier i can use to make it work?
Thanks for the help!

And you didn't notice this post when you walked in?
I have a samsung Galaxy s4 that was with u.s cellular, but flashed to verizon prepaid. I am miserable with it. My average data is only 1x. Very rare does my 3G icon pop up. When it does show up the minute I try to search or send something it disappears. I've done the speed test and it's terrible... All show & No go.
It was flashed by Cricket King (ebay) & It seems like I'm just getting the run around. Emails are not answered in promptly, if at all.
Not sure what to do.. was thinking if re flashing to a different carrier like t mobile or metro pcs.
Does anyone know why I would not get 3G on long island new york
zip code 11772
It's frustrating to even get a mms picture messsge out
Help please

Have you tried flashing a different radio?
Hey guys,
I bought a locked ATT and I did S-Off and unlocked bootloader to put the international developer edition ROM on it so I can get OTAs directly from HTC. That is fine and works completely well. I get updates directly from HTC. But I am in Canada now using Wind Mobile (same as T-mo in the US) but I'm "roaming" the whole time.
I tried using this unlock method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708567
and still it doesn't work. Its just on Wind Away network.
So I bought an unlock code and but I put in my wind mobile sim card, no menu comes up so that I can put in my unlock code...
Wind Mobile uses the same feq as Tmobile (I tried it with an S3 last year) so I should at least be able to make calls and texts.

PLEASE help! I'd greatly appreciated!!!!

I can't really answer this correctly but I do have a question and or recommendation. Normally (or normally to my knowledge) when you power the phone up with a non factory carrier SIM it requests that you put in an unlock code in a method similar to have a PIN code lock screen and you have to input the code you bought from the site( on the lockscreen PIN area ). Does this not happen when you do it?

Just a guess, but you may need to s-off and flash the T-Mob radio to enable the AWS band.
I'm overseas right now and I got a SIM card from work and slid it in to my VZW S4. I'm assuming I should have at least got a couple signal bars in the notification bar, as I have another phone with full signal sitting next to me. Also the SIM made a call from a GSM Galaxy note right before I put it in my phone.
With just the Cyta SIM in I get a message (that cannot be dismissed):
Phone activation
This SIM card is from an unknown source.

After changing my network mode to Global and adding the APN according to THIS, I am still not showing any signal bars. I was able to pull up a couple networks in the Network Operators menu, one being Cyta-Vodaphone but still no bars and no connection.
The phone is rooted and on 4.4.2.
Am I missing something?
QUESTION kind of related to the question below.
Hey Guys... If anyone is online, please reply.
I was wondering if there was a way to get the Verizon GS4 to be able
to work on the Metro PCS servers and towers. I know that they have
different types of network bands, but I was just trying to make sure
if there was any way to get the phone to work on that network with
a flashable something in ODIN. My Verizon GS4 is rooted and on the
ROM called Hyperdrive.
Any replies are welcomed. And for the question above, I'm sorry i do not
have an answer for you.
