Hello,
Using an unlocked T-Mobile Vibrant in Canada.
Everything works OK except a huge issue, many people seem to have the same problem.
Once it lost signal, it will keep searching for the network for up to half an hour, it may see the network but will not register. I tried to play with the settings with no luck. The phone got the latest upgrade but it did not help either.
Hence my question:
Is there anything I can do to fix it ? Do I have to wait for Froyo hoping it will solve the problem ?
Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Hi everyone, if these seem like simple questions please excuse my ignorance, im a bit of a noob in a lot of ways.
I have a Telus HTC Hero which is rooted with custom rom on it. I am going to Australia for a couple of months and would like to be able to just chuck a pre paid sim card in it to use while I am there.
2 Questions, 1st will the phone actually work over there? With the frequencies and what not. and secondly do I need to unlock it and if so how do I go about that.
Thanks in advance for your help
It should work for voice calls and texts. I don't think 3G will work though.
You'll need to go to an unlock shop or buy an unlock code of an eBay seller to use an Australian SIM Card I think.
Thanks!! Can anyone confirm this? Also does that mean data will not work at all?
Here is my dilemma: If I am using a phone on Tmobile that has absolutely No data plan at all, but I want to upgrade to an unlocked AT&T, will it recognize that it is a smart phone and try to put on a data plan automatically? Or will it not recognize the IMEI number and let me continue to use the phone with absolutely no data plan at all?
Hopefully that was not too confusing... I need an upgraded phone for someone, but can't have a data plan at all, and they really want a smartphone.
Come on, surely someone has wondered this before and tried it out? I tried to search on google, but couldn't find anything. Don't let me down guys!

Searching would have told you the answer to your question. But I am in a good mood so Ill answer you. Unless they have the IMEI in their system then no it wont show up as a smart phone, but if they do then they will see it and switch you. As long as it is unlocked from another carrier then odds are they wont have it in their system. They have not started sharing IMEIs yet.
Hi this is my first post was wondering if anyone could help been lookin all over the net for the last few days tried all types of re-sets and nothing has worked......i have been given by my father an S2 which was meant to be sent back to O2 in the UK but he forgot to do it and ended up keeping it but they seem to have blocked it? when i put my O2 sim card into the phone and try to make a call i get Not Registered On Network... i have been told that i may need to reboot from a new rom but i dont have any idea what that is hahaha please help really want to use the phone thanks
Hello. Let me start by saying that i have searched the forum for an answer to my questions but didn't seem to find one so i apologize if someone already give a solution to my problem.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 that i believe was rooted in order to network unlock it. After a software glitch i had to take it to a service shop. After they took care of the software problem the phone works grate except for one thing, ig got locked to the sim card (phone number) that was in use at that time. Now, it will not work with any other sim card, even if it is from the same carrier (if i am not mistaking, i even tried a new sim card with the same phone number as the first sim and it still did not work).
Do you know what the problem might be and/or how to solve it? has anyone had a similar problem?
Thanks
