I have an Alcatel One Touch Fierce, originally T-Mobile, currently unlocked, stock ROM (4.2.2) rooted. It had no connection issues in the US or in Germany, but anywhere in Israel after boot it connects to the mobile network for only a fraction of a second, just long enough to receive a bunch of brand new notifications, and then it immediately drops the network and can't find it again. It does this both on an american T-Mobile sim while roaming, and with a local Israeli sim.
If anyone has a generic fix that worked on any handset that I could try, or anything, I'm kinda desperate here.

I recently took my phone to the UK, and it seems to get no signal at all. When I do the *#*#4636#*#* service menu, it only states that it has usa bands (my captivate and nexus one had multiple bands to choose from). Does anyone know of a workaround to get this phone working overseas?
Called AT&T and they were no help in getting the phone connected.

AT&T does that **** on purpose because they want you to pay for their international plan...if you talk to them about it, they'll tell you that you need to sign up for a plan that will let you go out of the US with signal.. (it's not permanent, but you pay for the month that you are gone).
Problem is I already have the international roaming plan.
If you're trying to use a foreign simcard it wont work unless you have a sim unlock code.
Otherwise there is no reason it shouldnt work overseas on your ATT sim card if you have the right plan. it has the correct 3g bands to work anywhere in UK/EU on 3g.
It could be that its not pulling down the right APN settings for orange or whatever provider its trying to roam on. Just a thought.
Just out of curiosity where in the UK were you? I was there in Dec with my AT&T Blackberry (worked fine) and will be there in June with my BB and my Atrix (didn't have a personal international phone when I was there in Dec as I had been on Sprint at the time). In the past I've had no problems - taken past AT&T phones to Germany, France, Spain, Scotland, Slovenia and Italy and they've always worked (that was with my old HTC Fuze which I had totally unlocked). The only place I ever had a problem was rural Wyoming about 100 miles west of Sturgis two summers ago. It wouldn't work but for one corner of the driveway at the cabin we were staying at.
I have been in London. I actually brought my samsung captivate, and put my at&t sim card, and everything worked just fine. If I place my sim card back in the atrix it looks as if it does not detect the signal at all.

Hi. I know where you can work that phone overseas. Kindly contact me.
Hello everyone,
I have recently purchased a 3G Flyer in Asia (Taiwan). The device has been s-offed and rooted with the latest FlyHigh rom 1.1 installed.
My problem at the moment is with the SIM network carrier. I have an Australian 3 sim card which i am using on the Flyer right now, however the flyer connects to the Telstra carrier network and seems to be in roaming mode. I have checked the carrier settings and only Telstra is available.
I would really appreciate if someone on the forum could explain to me why i am having this problem and if there are any possible solutions to this.
Regards
Steve
I bought a Chinese Clone of an HTC S720e and I cannot get it to "see" the ATT wireless network with my SIM card. Says Network Not Available. No voice calls, no signal, no data, no nothing.
Info is HDC G23i ONE X S720E 4.7'' Capacitive Screen 3G WCDMA MTK6575 1.8Ghz Dual Core Android 4.0.3 Dual sim 8MP WIFI GPS
Specs can be seen at http://www.fastcardtech.com/goods-7353-HDC+G23i+ONE+X+S720E+47+Capacitive+Screen+3G+WCDMA+MTK6575+18Ghz+Dual+Core+Android+403+Dual+sim+8MP+WIFI+GPS.html
It's supposed to be able to work on 900 and 1850 MHz like ATT needs.
I called ATT and got them to accept the IMEI that came with the phone. (It's actually one of those Dual SIM card phones).
I have tried a million different APN settings and nothing seems to work. The phone doesn't see any signal at all! Really makin me mad.
I tried a Star N8000 from China before and it had no problem working with my SIM card. Why can't this one?
Appreciate any suggestions.
Bump! Also I notice when I turn the phone off, it says "Restricted Access Changed"
Any soultion to this? I have the same problem connecting to Swedish network, Telia

Hello,
I am currently using Samsung Galaxy S2 SGH-I777. This is been unlocked with the code provided by AT&T. After unlock I am able to use the phone with my Vodafone IN sim with the 3G connection. Recently around 3 weeks back, I have upgraded the mobile from 4.0.3 to 4.1.2 via kies. Currently it is in I777UCMD8 band and Kernel version as 3.0.31-1154545-user [email protected] #3.
Since firmware upgrade, I am unable to use the phone with 3G.
The mobile network connection is not consistent, and unable to make or receive any calls.
I did some search in the forums and came across the code *#2263#. using this I selected the band as GSM only and i am able to have continuously, and able to receive and make the calls.
I tried out inserting another vodafone 3g sim and able to use the 3g and continuous signal on my mobile, where it is not working with my sim.
I tried out my sim in another 3g phone and was able to have access the 3g and continuous signal.
I have replaced my sim couple of times, and even that didn't worked for me.
Any help on this is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Krishna.
Long story short...
I have alway had my personal pones used in Mexico and bought in USA (ebay) I have neve had any issue as far as the phones are GSM unlocked, my last phone was the LG G7, new open box from eBay, I use the phone in Mexico without any problem as well as I use it here in Houston, 4G data, calls, SMS etc..
I arrive 3 days ago to spend time with family and I got a preowned Verizon LG V60 GSM unlocked, as soon as I put my SIM card from ATT Mexico it says Service Disabled and the Network Options are greyed with no option to change anything, I already Crossflash to the US Cellular ROM and still have the same problem, I know the phone is unlocked cause I put a SIM from Telcel and it get signal and Roaming and also detect the networks, my question is, have something changed with the service providers here that blocks the SIM from other countryes?
The only think that I notice is that I have a cheap Samsung A13 from my work In mexico, bought in Mexico and If i put the SIM card there I notice a icon of VoLTE in the signal bar, is that the LG V60 does not support VoLTE?

VOLTE is usually softwarw specific and sim card specific. a tmobile v60 will get you volte on tmobile yes but other operators on tmobile network mabey not. Basically buy the right V60 to go with your sim card and if you carrier operates on tmobile network then get tmobile v60 etc and so forth.
