Hello all.
I have unlocked Vibrant. I am traveling to Romania. I bought Orange Sim card, it works in my Vibrant, but I don't get any data service, does anybody knows how to make it work?
Thank you.
that's probably because you don't have the APN settings in your phone. either google their APN or just call Orange and ask them to give you the information that you need.
Yes, you are going to have to call them and ask them for the APN settings. Thats what I did and I am using the MySimpleMobile sim card.
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.

Yes, I talked to Fido tech. support and everything is set propertly. I am still able to connect to the cellular data using my old iPhone 4 when I put my Fido SIM in.
Thanks
Like to add that this is a Samsung Galaxy SII x
Hello all,
I have been unable to find a clear answer to this question--I hope you will bear with me:
I have a Galaxy Note 2 from Verizon running Android 4.3. Before leaving for a trip to India this week I confirmed with Verizon customer service that the phone was unlocked. In Delhi I purchased a local sim card (from Airtel) and inserted it. Voice and text work perfectly but the data plan does not. The sim works when inserted into other phones but not in this one. The Airtel techs cannot figure it out. I have access to the APN settings under the Mobile Networks menu and have edited the Name, APN, Server, APN type etc. as indicated by Airtel but no dice. When I go to "Select" it finds Airtel after some spinning and when I select Airtel from "Network Operators" I get a "registered on network" message but still can't get data.
Is it the case that Verizon locks the data on this phone? Is there any way for me to unlock this from India? I don't really know anything about rooting phones.
Any help appreciated!
I also use the same handset in India and use other operator sim...no trouble so far in data

I finally got sick of having a locked bootloader, so I bought an unlocked Tmobile running nk2, rooted it, and cleaned up the bloatware with Titanium Backup. Now I'm looking at putting together a list of tips for using a G900T on AT&T. I've created the appropriate APN settings. If anyone with experience on this could weigh in with some things I should look out for or do proactively, it would be useful not only to me but to other AT&T users looking to get away from the AT&T locked bootloader. Thanks in advance for any advice.
Working APN settings
Here are the APN settings that are working great for me on AT&T. To set these, go to SETTINGS / MORE NETWORKS / MOBILE NETWORKS/ ACCESS POINT NAMES. Either create a new one using the "+" or edit the one you are using already.
NAME: smartphone
APN: phone
PROXY: not set
PORT: not set
USERNAME: not set
PASSWORD: not set
SERVER: not set
MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MULTIMEDIA MESSAGE PROXY: proxy.mobile.att.net
MULTIMEDIA MESSAGE PORT: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
AUTHENTICATION TYPE: not set
APN TYPE: default,mms,supl
APN PROTOCOL: IPv4
APN ROAMING PROTOCOL: IPv4
TURN APN ON/OFF: APN turned on
BEARER: unspecified
MOBILE VIRTUAL NETWORK OPERATOR TYPE: none
MOBILE VIRTUAL NETWORK OPERATOR VALUE: not set
The two items TURN APN ON/OFF: APN turned on and MOBILE VIRTUAL NETWORK OPERATOR VALUE: not set are ghosted out so I was unable to change them. In APN TYPE you should enter the information without any spaces after the commas.
How to root if your Tmobile s5 is already updated to nk2 or nh5
I used the instructions found here and it was super effective:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/general/how-to-root-s5-firmware-knox-0x0-t2909352
Note: if you're not familiar with PC Odin, it will be good news to you that you don't have to install it. Just unzip it into a directory with the INI file and run it.
Good Post! I could have used this four months ago when I jumped to AT&T from T-Mo. I have not had any problems. The only thing I can think of is that I disabled wifi calling. I have had good success running international ROMs on it. I'm currently on BobCat Romhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/rom-bobcatromevov1-0ota-update-t2836665 ...Excellent...
I'm running Omega on my TMO S5 on AT&T. My APN is a little different but I've also tried the one posted above and get about the same results with either. The only other thing I did was download AT&T's Visual Voice Mail app. It's a great way to handle voicemail messages.
+1121611611 Error 122 Invalid Number
This is a problem that pops up for those of us who have started using a Tmobile s5 on AT&T--you start getting repeated texts that say "+1121611611 Error 122 Invalid Number". The problem appears to be brought about when you use a phone from one carrier on another carrier.
I found a fix for this at http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/help/error-invalid-text-reboot-t2865399
Short version: turn off/disable the visual voicemail app.
Here is the relevant text from that page:
PROBLEM: I recently switched from T-Mobile to AT&T, bringing over my unlocked T-Mobile Galaxy S4 (not rooted, running stock android, got the SIM unlock code from T-Mobile). After fiddling with the APN settings everything seems to be working fine, except every time I reboot I get the following text message:
From: +1121611611
122 Error Invalid Number. Please re-send using a valid 10 digit mobile number or valid short code. Activate:dt=15
Any ideas? I first saw this error text the first time I rebooted my phone after switching the SIM card to AT&T, and I get the same text whenever I reboot my phone now.
SOLVED: This was being caused by the T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app. Disabling the app fixed the problem.
Sticky this maybe?
Mods, do you think this is worth getting "sticky" status?

I stopped getting these errors when I installed Omega ROM and AT&T's visual voice mail.

Thanks for the input. Flashing a ROM may be more advanced than I can address here, and may be more advanced than some of the people just looking for a "how do I get this working?" thread.
How to turn off WIFI calling
2.Tap Settings.
3.Scroll to 'NETWORK CONNECTIONS,' then tap More networks.
4.Tap the Wi-Fi Calling Switch to Off.
I also used Titanium Backup to freeze:

T-Mobile Name ID
T-Mobile TV

I've been my old AT&T SIM carrier on a new TMob S5 for about two weeks -- It's rooted and has Custom Recovery. I froze about 100 Bloats w/ Titanium Backup - installed Wanam to tweak it - and am getting an amazing +/- 0.5%/Hr battery usage on Stock 4.4.2!!! (No gaming or social networking, etc) So, I'm VERY pleased and also chose this route to get away from AT&T's bootloader lock policy.
Only one question: I notice an image of a fliptop phone on my AT&T account page. It used to show a pic of my S3. Is there some file I can edit on the phone to get it to show up as an S5 ? Maybe the build.prop or something?

My AT&T profile also shows a random flip type phone. It must simply be a result of using a non-AT&T phone. I haven't bothered trying to change it.
I'd LOVE to be able to put a caption on the AT&T site with a pic of the S5, something like "TMobile - S5 - Unlocked Bootloader"
(I've got a somewhat sick sense of humor)

I too got tired of the 900A having a locked bootloader. My buddy recently left Tmobile for Verizon so he had 2 S5's lying around gathering dust. Bought them from him. Sold my ATT S5 on ebay and haven't looked back. Actually still have one that I'm not using. If anyone is interested. Was gonna list it on ebay, but would rather have someone who knows the struggle of a locked bootloader get their hands on it.

I sent you a couple emails. I forgot to give you my contact info on the first one. I also sent you a private message in case the emails don't go through. Let me know!
Thank you.

GEEEEEEEZ -- and I thought the "feature" of having a locked bootloader was to prevent someone from stealing it LOL (That's probably what some folks believe -- that it's a wonderful upgrade to provide more "security" enhancements for your own good . . ., or whatever . . .)
I'm just finding a lot of new "features" and "up" grades annoying . . . and feeling a little crotchety this morning
Hey there,
So I called sprint and told them I need them to unlock my phone for international travel and they did. I tested it with AT&T and it worked for phone connections but not for data. Any idea how to make ATT data connection to work?
APN settings?
So I need to enter specific APN settings for each sim card/carrier I use?
Depends on provider. On ting.com I did, now on byowireless it just works. Both resell T-Mobile.
Google for your carrier's apns settings, and add them.
