[Q] can i use i9000 with china unicocom 3g? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello, as in title, can i use i9000 international with china unicom ? espicially 3g ?

Hi,
yes sure! I use it since about 3 Month without any problems! Anyway if you use a 3g phone unicom is the best provider!
Set the APN to "3gnet" - I have HSDPA mostly all around Shanghai.
To access paid apps on the market install "Paid Apps Enabler" but needs root
BR
Christian

i just tried my friend's unicome WO card, which is 3g. but my phone didn't recognize it. unable to register with network.
maybe your phone is china unicom version , not GT-i9000 ?
edit1 : yeah, after reboot, it worked . thank yuo.

Hi guys, appreciate the help with this. I have rooted and have tried all sorts of roms on my Milestone
However with Cyanogen cm7 with Gingerbread 2.3 and other variances of the cm7 i cannot get any network coverage or cant connect to my provider. However my phone works perfect with the 2.3 AOSP roms...
Is there something obvious I am doing wrong? Am i missing something when installing cyanogen roms?

Yes...You probably need to apply the basebands of your region when you install CM roms.
You can do that in Androidiani 3.3 Open Recovery, on the menu "Change baseband"

Ahh OK so it has got to do with applying the basebands to my region.
I have seen this option in Open Recovery 3.3 . Is there any specific file I need to download or number I need to know before attempting to change my baseband.?
i live in New Zealand.
thanks.

No, you dont need to download additional files. Just go to Androidiani 3.3 and try applying bands until you get coverage. Many of the people apply RTEU and it works. I dont know what is the baseband for your region, but you switch between them and you will find the proper one.
Hope I've been helpful!

If you're with XT use the Brazil bb.

Where abouts in NZ are you? I'm also a Kiwi (Gisborne) and I have no baseband trouble at all on any of the GB ROM's, or any ROM's for that matter. I've never had to mess with the baseband and I move from ShadowMod to Cyan7 all the time as they release new updates.
What baseband did you use? Im having the same problem and I can't get 3g working for the life of me. I think it's a mixture of apn setting and baseband. Im on 2degrees btw.
I need help with this too. I live in Auckland and use Vodafone NZ. Originally, my milestone came installed with Froyo (v2.2) and it was the Europe version I believe......both 2G and 3G works fine on it, however I have problems with the wifi like many people have.
So then I later flashed to the New Zealand v2.1 SBF, and now wifi works fine but I can't get any connection to Vodafone. The reason is basically because Vodafone doesn't support Milestone, only Telecom XT does. However, if I switch the network from 2G to 3G, then I can connect to Vodafone. I can also connect to 2Degrees, I can see all 3 networks (Telecom, Vodafone, 2Degrees) when I'm on 3G and I get about 3/4 bars constant so it's stable.
But when if I switch to 2G, I get completely no bars and can't detect any networks at all. Not a big deal but I wanna use 2G to save battery. When I was using the Europe SBF (the v2.2 Froyo that came pre-installed with the Milestone), I was able to use 2G no problem.
Anyway, I think a simple baseband change should be fine, but I'm not sure which one I should use that works well with Vodafone NZ.
The baseband has to match your handset's capability. Xt units lack the Vodafone 900 band, they have 850 instead. Both carriers use 2100 in the CBD. Vodafone has also 2g network that has crap coverage. I'm using my xt set with Vodafone, but there's no point changing the bb as xt ms can't do 900 anyway. Basically get ****ty GPRS except right in town. It's only used as car GPS/stereo so no biggy for me.
but mine isn't originally an XT Milestone, I bought it 2nd hand on Trademe and the original owner of the phone got it from somewhere else. It's just that I flashed the New Zealand v2.1 SBF, which just so happens to be for Telecom since there isn't one for Vodafone......
Plus, it was able to work fine on 2G when I was using the Europe v2.2 (Froyo) SBF, so I don't see why a simple baseband change isn't possible?
Check the exact model number, most of the ones floating in nz are telecom models, no matter what the previous owner was using it with. You can change basebands as much as you want, if it doesn't match your hardware it just won't work. I.e. you will not have 3g outside of main centres. Afaik, 2g is the same on all models.
So, install OR, then one of the cyanogen based roms (it has all nz apns). Boot into or, there's a list of basebands - try till you get one that works.
Have you set your APN setting right?

Cyanogen based roms have all the nz apns, otherwise, you have to put the correct one in.

AT&T SIM only works in port 2 (2G network)

Hi,
I got a new Huawei Mate s phone sent to me from China (I am in USA)
apparently, when I insert the new SIM into port 1 (for 3G & 4G access) I get an error that only a "China Telecom" sim can work in that port. So I use port 2 and I only get 2G network (bad coverage & loses signal a lot)
I tried switching ports, no luck ...
Any suggestions? (I am a newbe to this, but am a little capable)
Can this phone be unlocked?
phone specs:
Model Number: HUAWEI CRR-CL00
Build Number: CRR-CL00C92B161
thank you all in advanced

You could convert to UL00 software version, I have no problems using 3G or 4G on that with EU providers. : http://forum.xda-developers.com/mat...09-to-ul00-t3299267/post64977266#post64977266

What you suggest will put me in sotware CRR-UL00C00B160
I currently have software CRR-UL00C92B161
Both are Chinese versions. Will this unlock my SIM slots?

Both might be Chinese models, but the CRR-CL00 might be a locked "China Telecom" version. I have no problems using 3G or 4G on either sim on my CRR-UL00 anyway. So it is locked by software, it could solve it switching to CRR-UL00 firmware.

Thank you EMF. I currently have CRR-UL00 firmware (just a different version)
I agree it looks like a firmware issue, just not sure what firmware I should switch to.
Is there a "US" firmware for this model phone I can switch to?
Also, being a newbie I will need step-by-step instructions so I don't mess it up.

Your phone is sim-locked for China Telecom carrier. Changing rom won't help, you need to sim-unlock it on a specific site that does that, like this one https://www.unlockunit.com/unlock-huawei-mate-s-092123
It won't be free. But after you get and enter sim-unlock code there'll be no problem with using any sim card in any slot.

Not sure but the option might depend on your CSC or the sim card. What is your CSC and carrier?
Using this app you can choose any mode you want
