[Q] 3G not working!

So a few days ago I posted on here about getting my Chinese bought LGP503 working with the android app store. Using the tips I got from people on here I successfully flashed it to the UK LGP500 firmware and presto the store worked great! However, later that day I realized my 3G here in China wasn't working anymore. At first I chalked it up to quake related internet problems we've been having but then I talked to other people whose 3G was working just fine.
So I figured there was something up with my firmware not being compatible with the 3G here. I know that China has some different internet 3G standards from time to time but I've had friends pop a Chinese SIM card into an American Blackberry or other Smart Phone and it work just fine. So following this logic I finally, through no easy process, found and flashed the US T-Mobile firmware. Flashed fine and booted up great but still no 3G. Does anyone have a clue about whats going on with this? I really don't want to flash firmware again if I don't have to and I'm having trouble even finding the Chinese firmware now (the guide doesn't want to work for the Chinese firmware), plus I really like the way the T-Mobile stuff is setup, good apps and all.
I'm on China Mobile in Hubei Provence, China if that helps anyone any!
Thanks in advance.
Try creating a new apn from one of ur friends 3g settings..

[Q] S2 & Docomo Japan

Hi,
I just got my docomo SIM with unlimited data plan.
But somehow i and the guy from the docomo shop couldn't get the data to work. APN is set to spmode.ne.jp
Here are my info:
Galaxy s2 international version.
CyanogenMod7
Maybe someone has some idea why it doesn't work?
Ask question in Cyanogen forum .
jje
This question was there already asked but not answered.
Anyways, i reverted back to stock rom and the problem persits. So it's not a problem of cm.
Is it possible that the s2 doesn't work in japan? In detail, that data doesn't work? Calls work very well.
If someone got the german/international version to work with data in japan please tell me.
Hi,
I bought my galaxys2 in France and unlocked it. It is now potentially possible to use it with any carrier (and I tested it with two other french carriers)
However, I am going to Japan for my job for at least a few years and since my phone is only a few month old, I'd like to keep on using it in Japan.
It is my understanding that if in "about phone" setting window the phone version is "GT-I9000", it means that I have the "international version" of the phone.
Is that right ?
If so, will it work with any japanese carrier (docomo, au, softbank...) ?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed some light on this because it is quite hard to find answers about this issue...

Galaxy Note (korean version ) SHV-E160L

Guys I'm new to this website a friend of mine referred me to this particular site hoping someone can help me with my problem, a korean student of mine gave me a white galaxy note with the model of SHV-E160L, its seems im having problems with the messaging, is there something I can do to convert this phone to a universal model perhaps so that i dont have problems sending sms anymore because everytime there will be an error saying ( invalid sender ). please help me. thanks
Note E160L
Yeah... Same problem here. SMS don't work. And all the chinese ROM alternatives solve the problem but they aren't very good cause there are some functions missing. So that would be perfect, if we could change the hardware ID to an international model. I had a SE x10 and I remember it was possible (i changed it back then). So, anyone knows if that's possible in the Note so we could install a European or American ROM?
Thanks
whats the missing functionality of the chinese rom? how did u managed to send sms?
SGN
Dont put custom roms on your Korean phones unless it has been approved and tested to work. I say this because I lived in Korea 5 years there SMS system is diffrent from the rest of the world. There is very heavy coding that has to go into getting the SMS to work once flash. I am just a user i dont program I just learned this stuff over the years. I also have the LG U+ SGN and I just game from Korea off a 2 week vacation my phone worked just fine over there. As a matter of fact I am on my second SGN phone bother are Unlocked and work no matter where I travel. If anything I would just wait for the update to ICS and dont put any ROMS on the phone
Same Problem
Hi! I have a similar problem. I am living in China and bought a Korean model, SHV-E160L. My service provider is China Unicom (with 3G coverage). I was happy to get my phone - but bummed to find out that I can't text my friends.
"Invalid Sender" always pops up.
The usual reply is to change the number in your message center. However, when I or the Chinese Unicom representative tried to find it, there was no sign of the message center anywhere. According to some resources on the internet, pushing *#*#4636#*#* should pull up some backup menu in order to find it. It doesn't.
Should I be getting different coverage? Is it a problem with my APN? Should I get a ROM?
UPDATE:
Thanks to "uraz" here, I discovered how to access the SMSC.

Currently in foreign country

Hey all,
First of all, I dont have the luxury to search extensively through the forum. Since having internet now is already a rare thing.
I have a dutch Vodafone card. Ive chosen a subscription that lets you use 35mb, 20 minutes of calling and 20 minutes of begin called each day.
I use a HTC Desire (bravo) with CM7 (I got that other bootloader, not CWM, cant remember the name.)
Now Im in germany and soon in Austra, Hongery, Croatia, Servia, and Greece.
But I dont have 3g/2g/hspa or what ever kind of connection.
Normaly when Im in holland everything works flawless.
When I restart my phone I have a realy brief moment a internet connection and a phone call connection (2G + 3G). Only this last for 30 seconds - 5 minutes.
Can someone tell me what I can do in a foreign country? I dont got my pc with all the data with me.
Is there some way that I can get my 2g/3g work in the above countries without having to put a new rom on it?
I dont want to lose all my data
Hope to hear from someone soon.
Regards,
Erlerain
I still have this problem, can someone please give a thought about this?

Galaxy View LTE SM-T677 can do SIM phone calls?

Hi guys! Can someone call by phone with this device?
I live in Spain and I have purchased, 4 days ago, this tablet, in Amazon Italy, because in Spain don´t sell this model. I have got a Note Pro 12.2 and works well phoning calls.
When I bought this tablet I thought that would be the same, but I can´t find the green icon with the phone, nor the dialer. I only see the CONTACTS icon and I push on the numbers and everything else, and is impossible call by phone.
I have talked with Samsung Italy and they said that is possible to phoning with, they insist that works with Europeans SIM´s correctly.
I put the SIM into the slot and the tablet recognise it, all the symbols are right, 4G and the triangle with the four bars. I tried phoning with other phone to the SIM of the tablet and give the signal ok, but the tablet don´t do anything, it does not sound, but everything seems to be going well...
The tablet is in warranty and I don´t want flashing by odin ( does anybody know if this device has the famous counter of flashing rom?)
The actual ROM is T677XXU1AOJC. I tried with Kies and it installed the same rom (PDA: 0K5, CSC: 0K5, PHONE OJC (ITV)
I have got a SGS 4 too, from Rumania, and never gives troubles.
If somebody know´s something about this, please, tell me, because I don´t know what to do!
Sorry for my bad english and thanks!

Thank you!
Do you know if using Hangouts Dialer, the call is through the SIM or through some VOIP as Viber, Whatsapp or similar (by wifi) ?

With respect to the calls of the Galaxy View SM-T677, I can not find any information. I hope the hardware will allow it. Then I can only wait for some developer to make a rom with this possibility. I read in the instruction manual that the version that Verizon marketed, allows to make calls and send messages through the telephone operator. I have also read in posts that other tablets like the Nexus 7 3G and the HTC Flyer 3G had the same problem and I think it was solved with a new rom, although I'm not sure.
I understand it is a very new tablet and not many people have it.
I keep waiting if someone, in some country, can make calls.
Thank you!
