Hi, I've recently bought a Galaxy S3, Module: SHV-E210L from a website it seems to be original i check with some apps on the Appstore.
But for some reason it can only connect to 3G while in my galaxy s2 i could connect to H+.
I tried to upgrade the firmware to 4.3 but it didnt help. Also I cant make video calls i got this weird icon on the status bar that i guess i related and when i try to make a video call i get: Videos Calls not supported in international roaming area.(I attached a file with the icon)
I tried to deselect roaming(althogh my carrier said to keep it on) it didnt help.
Thank you very very much for the support
Your in the i9300 / 305 forum you need help from the e210l community.
The S3 you bought is a Korean model and so its optimised for Korean network bands. By using it in your own country the phone thinks its roaming, hence why a.) You have two clocks on your lockscreen and b.) You can only connect to 3G and not H+ or 4G LTE (that variant is 4G enabled).
Its probably also why you can't make video calls.
Thank you for your replies ill go to the other forum, but can you please tell me if there is anything i can do about it? like a installing some other rom or something?

i had been using dell streak for last 4 mnths, but still cldnt find video calling app for dell streak over 3G, i'm concern with 3g video call not data call (like skype or fring).
whilie googling i read somewhere tht android doesnt support this calling facility , but my bro has Samsung Galaxy S which has inbuilt 3G video calling with phone application.
Does anybody knw how can i do 3G video calling through dell streak??
or suggest any remedy over this??
thnx in advance
exactly no comments till now ???
guys we need ur help here !!!!!!!!
Even my previous older phones (Samsung Omnia, Samsung Omnia 2) had this option but it's not possible with the Streak. I've asked the same question a long time ago and nobody replied really, it's just possible if someone ports the (video)call app from the Galaxy S or Galaxy tab or maybe another android phone. android 2.3/gingerbread will support SIP calling but that's a whole different story...
Alternate solutions are QIK, TANGO, FRING but then you still depend on software on both sides and app/service needs to be running on both and need to be in an area that supports data ofcourse...
I use ooVoo. I use it to call to my pc and I've used it tho video call a an evo

hey, try the new fring or Tango. they both work over 3g
guys, he's talking about carrier supported video calls which isn't available in the US. Fring/tango/oovoo etc use data and go through the apps servers, where as what he's talking about it just counts against your minutes i.e. uses no data.
To the OP, i'd contact your wireless carrier and dell and see what they come up with. I haven't been overseas in a while so never looked it up.
guys, 'm talking abt 3g video calling supported by carrier operator and not abt fring, oovoo which operate on data
In 3G video calling u can do video call to any other person using 3G video call enable phone having 3g video calling facility provided by operator.
You dont need any data interface like gprs, 3g data, hspa or wifi juss need 3g video call enabled in service and a 3g video call enabled phone like samsung galaxy S android, nokia 5800 for symbian.
this video not to specific to any platform, software and can only work on 3g phone to 3g phone
I believe the op is talking about video calls over the cellular network like we were able to do over some older phone or modern home video phone not over the 3G network itself.
It is slightly confusing because he is asking for video over 3G not data when our Data is our 3G and vice versa. They are one in the same. If you do not have a data plan you do not have a 3G plan. You have purely a GSM cellular plan. (or CDMA depending upon your carrier)
I do not think any of the android phone at the moment (other then the Sammy now that you brought it up, but I dont know firsthand) are capable of video calls over the cellular network without using our data. Over wifi yes, but not over the cell network like we used to with the old Nokias and some of the older winmo devices.

i know what his talking about.when u go to make a call it should give two options
voice call
video call
since it has a front facing camera .
in the uk this option was available on many networks but hardly people would use it because it was expensive also u had to be in a place where u have a strong network connection and a phone which supports the feature .
not only samsung, also with GD910 LG phone watch u can videocall
But india right now only my operator bsnl is providing [email protected] paisa/min which us quite cheap as of now
Which I cab use..

Still no solution to the 3G native calls
Hi All devs,
Could you please help us out here. Can somebody port the phone.apk from Galaxy S to Streak so that we can get the same option of video calling over UMTS.
Any help would be much appreciated.
The video calling feature has been removed by Google from Android OS version 4.0 and above. Why? Ask them. You still have it in Samsung devices because it has been added by Samsung, not because the stock Android OS (made by Google) would support it. For your Dell Streak, apparently,they chose to go with the original ROM made by Google. So..that's why. And about how to enable it...I honestly don't know. Still looking for a solution myself.
Ahh, but by that statement video calling via 3G should be an option in the Streak, since the Streak was on Gingerbread at the time the thread was created. It's not. Meaning either Google never had the capability in the first place or Dell had it removed from the stock ROM.
Regardless, it's not an option on the Streak, and to add it I believe would require some reverse engineering. I don't think it would be quite as simple as decompiling framework-res.apk and making changes to XML files, like what I did to get the network location service active on my cheap-a$$ Coby tablet.
IM not a Dev but a noob and I'll try to upload it and give talk link

In sri lanka 3G video calling is provided by some carrier operators. And call charges are same as normal voice calls. My old phone Nokia 3120c had this facility and i used it sometimes. Now im also finding a way to do video calls with my android. I dont know about mobile phone technology, but i think it is not a hardware thing. May be a simple app can do it.
bump, how do I hack and enable a video call option?

Hi,
Not sure if this has been posted, but I did a search and was not able to find any thread on this.
I have a Koodoo Samsung Galaxy S2 (SGH T989D) that I rooted and unlocked. When I put my Fido SIMin, I can only make voice calls and no data connection, none of my cellular data app./browser can connect to the internet, WIFI is working fine. I used both the APN drawn from the SIM card and manually set them according to the Fido forum, and both doesn't seem to work.
I've enable Data Roaming and still no luck, has anyone sucessfully unlock a Koodoo Samsung Galaxy S2 and got the data to work on the Fido network?
Any help would be much appreciated!!
Thanks in advance.
did you talk to your provider, they may have enable settings on their server.

Hi All,
I know its a topic which has been addressed differently in different threads. I am a user from India and have a GSM SIM. I have got a Verizon S4 phone. I tried using it with Vodafone SIM and get a problem in using it. Surprisingly a NOTE 2 from Verizon works just fine. I am able to use it for data with 3G but not able to use it for voice. Following steps have been tried already.
- Default Options of using Global Mode and GSM/UMTS ** Doesnt search the network at all.
- Hidden Menu Changes using # codes. ** Shows network but emergency mode only.
- Phone Info app to change the mode. ** Shows network but emergency mode only.
- RF Band change using the hidden menu. ** Shows network but emergency mode only.
It does say that it has GSM radio but cant be used for some software reason I suppose. I checked with Verizon Rep and was told that it cannot be used in India with a GSM SIM and would need the Verizon SIM only to connect with International Roaming.
Can I install a I-9505 ROM on this and then would it pick up the GSM signal for voice and data. Please help.
I don't think your Verizon rep is correct. I bought a Verizon S4 just before going to Europe for 1 month. I used first a gsm SIM card from Germany, and then a gsm card from France. I had to add APN's to get data (I used "offline sim APN database" from the market to help get the necessary APN info), but had no trouble with voice or data for my entire trip. The gps and navigation services on the phone were extremely valuable on a couple of occasions, as was the wifi hotspot. In France, you can purchase 2 GB of data service for 20 Euros. I checked with Verizon global services ( 908-559-4899 outside the US or 800-711-8300 from inside ) before I left, and the Verizon S4 was sim unlocked out of the box. They did not make a big deal of my plan to use other SIM cards either.

Installed WamanLite I9505 ROM
Hello All,
I found that Wanam Lite I-9505 ROM can be installed on Verizon S4. I installed it and patched it with Loki-Doki patch to boot up as I got the Verizon Software error. Yet my phone doesnt pick up the GSM signal for voice and SMS. It picks up the signal and I am able to browse internet on it but no calls or SMS. Please help...!!
Is there any way that I can install or flash a regular GSM radio over the phone ? Or tweak it in someway to use the GSM signal as primary for voice and sms.

I have also Verizon's S4 (i545) and use it in GSM network with only one small problem - it will not send SMS with in-ROM SMS apk to international-formatted numbers (+380-XX-XXX and so on), but send without problem to local-formatted numbers (XX-XXX...) All the rest is working good.
Could you tell me please - how did you get to install i9505's ROM on your device? I have also Verizon's error after installation, and don't know how to run it...
Hi I too have the vzw s4 in india.. and niether voice nor sms is functioning on it.
By rooting it and installing apn manager I was somehow able to get the data 3g working for vodafone ind.
I too am struggling to find a solution to this.
Ive haventvyet flashed it. I came across a guy who said he will be able to get it working but somehow I havent yet been abke to follow up with him.
Guess we both are on the same boat.
Lets keep in touch and update if any of us finds a solution to this.

You all can try to flash my port of ARHD 2.0 ROM, that can be found it this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2346365
It is fully GSM and as international as regular GSM-version of S4. CDMA can be turned on only on hidden test application. Everything else is working and was tested in different networks.
I too created a post seeking help in this regard but didn came across anything concrete yet.
Everyone out here believes it to be a world phone and some have even been using the gsm network in europe but its not working in india.
Ive failed to understand that how come its detecting signals with functioning data is not working on either voice or sms.
Tmobile and atnt gs4 guess have this service menu from where they can be network unlocked explicitly..but unfortunately I havent yet come any such thing for vzw gs4.

I tried installing the ARHD 2.0 ROM but still the same issue persists. The phone picks up the signal for data but when tried selecting network manually or automatic using the GSM / UMTS option, it says disable data to search networks, when data is disabled, the phone shows available networks says phone registered to network but the status still says Emergency Calls Only. Also if tried dialing a phone it says no network available. There has to be something in the modem settings which can be tweaked through the service menu which will change the use of GSM for voice and data and not use CDMA.

Did you do a full wipe when flashing ROM? It is mandatory. You will lose all your data though. If there will be no changes after full wipe - then try to install this card into another phone and ckeck if voice calling is working.

I did a full wipe. I have 2 Galaxy S4's and also an Optimus G. The card that I am using is my regular SIM card so its not an issue with the card for sure. The ROM was installed on both the phones and neither of them picked up the signal for voice and SMS.

Ok. To go and chose type of radio-band you may install Battery Monitor Widget from Google Play (well, the main purpose of this app is different, but it is what comes first in my mind). Put it's widget on the desktop, open it and go for bottom right button, named Test. There you can first menu (Device Info) and there you will be able to change all variations of the radio bands and their combinations, available for i545. If non of the combinations will help - mosty probably your operator works on unsupported for this phone cellular format.

I have the Phone Info app which allows band select. Tried on all possible modes. Same issue persists. Strangely the Note 2 purchased from Verizon works flawlessly without any mods or changes. I am thinking of giving to some professional phone guy who may have code level flashing or modding tools to try and fiddle around with settings of the modem or the radio to pick up the signal here.

Hey phrozenwire, I am able to use both voice n sms now in my VZW GS4.
And I literally did nothing to make the voice n sms functional. I too had troubles for like 2 weeks and it didn work for me then.
I rooted the phone to add apn settings and the data got activated. But today morning when I woke up ... surprise surprise .. it began to work.. rcvd sms and calls and I was so happy. . Last I remember I switched on the power save mode and my cell fell down twice and guess it did the trick for me.
Thanks all for your help and comments.

Hi experts,
I am using Samsung S5 G900F, everthing was good but once mobile fell down after that 2G/3G is with full singal but LTE very weak around -100dbm, secondly now when i try to screen on sometimes its blink after many tries its turn on.
When I try to make a call on 2G/3G is says "network not register", in Setting-About device-Status is show network "unknown"
Need your advice on this issue, thanks in advance
