Hi,
I bought an unlocked O2X in Hong Kong, and brought it back to Canada.
The wifi and voice work perfectly, but it doesn't seem to find a data connection... what can I do ?
I have the latest out-of the box software :
Andoid 2.2.2,
Baseband 1035.21_20110405
Kernel 2.6.32.9
Build FRG83G
LGE version LGP990-V10d
Thanks in advance,

You've bought a phone that isn't compatible with the Telus network.
It will only run on it's 2G frequencies, and Telus don't support 2G data (from what I can tell).
From what I've read, the O2X is compatible with HSDPA 1900, which Telus carries...
Yes the O2X does support UMTS 1900, but I don't think it's that simple unfortunately.
You might find that they don't use 1900 in your area, and you need 850 (as this is usually more popular), how you can find out I don't know. If you look at your signal type, I suspect it will be GSM
Right now it's saying GPRS... I'm in Montreal, which should mostly be using 1900 frequency, as it is the better one for cities...
Did you set up Telus APN?

Depends how you define better, I would have said 850 is better due to penetration.

Yes, I tried using the info provided by Telus :
APN: sp.telus.com
Proxy server: 74.49.0.18
Port: 80
but it doesn't seem to work...
I'd recommend you phone Telus and explain the problem to them.
I know on previous phones I've owned (non Android) I've been sent a text with settings in from my carrier. They might be able to do something similar, or at least point you in the right direction.
Have you used that SIM before or is it a new one?

It's the SIM I used on my Motorola Milestone before.
I called them, and they just told me to remove the battery and put it back on, in order to push new info in the phone... and reminded me that they don't guarantee data access with unlocked phones, which sucks.
Could it be a baseband issue ? I have 0405 now...
I found on the Telus site (can't link because I'm a new member)
they say:
Check device compatibility:
Your device must be compatible with our 4G network. If you have a non TELUS device that uses HSPA technology, it should be compatible with our mobile network. Check your device's compatibility.
Lock Status:
Your non TELUS device needs to be unlocked to work on the TELUS network. What does this mean?

Further advice is to take it into store and ask if they can unlock it. I'm assuming that's the problem, as your connection details posted earlier are correct.
The phone is unlocked (bought it that way). I had a second (very long) service call with them, during which we tried a lot of things, but without luck.
I also tried to change basebands, 0502 broke my cellphone connection altogether and 0218 works as 0405 did.
We already know what the problem is. You have a 2G signal and Telus doesn't support 2G data.
Networkinfo widget tells me I have an UMTS signal...

hi everyone
so im in riyadh for 3 months and i brought my Nexus One with me. most everything is working fine with my prepaid STC sim card, however I am not able to access the internet. the people at STC are clueless in why its not working and they don't even know what APNs are, lol. but the problem is obviously the APNs
Does anyone have the correct APNs for Nexus One on STC (Saudi Telecom Company)? I really don't want to buy another phone here, everything here is quite expensive!!! a nexus one is 2300 rials or ~620 USD!!!! any help will be greatly appreciated

thanks siddiqui, the internet now works however it goes off and on and i only get GPRS speeds. is it possible to get 3G service working? is there a different apn in order to get that? thanks in advance
Should be an APN setting issue, Are you sure you have the correct version of the N1 for your network?
p.s. this should be in the Q&A forum
i hope so, i bought the nexus one the second day it was introduced from google. at that time it was only available with the 1700 & 2100mhz (tmobile) 3g frequencies, which i assume is the international standard? i know a second version was introduced to worked with the 850 & 1900mhz (at&t)...so what am i doing wrong??
No I have the same version n I'm also getting some problems in the 3g network, its not your device's fault actually the STC's 3g network coverage is bad
There is only one APN for stc.
Why don't u try the other service provider MOBILY its much better than STC

I thought the AT&T 850 & 1900 was stardard for international. The T-Mobile version bands was their own.
@futango is it? i don't know. because tmobile is a subsidiary of deutsche telekom which is present in a number of european countries, most of which do not support at&t 3g bands, but this is just an assumption because there are many 3g band frequencies out there

Sorry up front - I'm a phone noob. I bought this beautiful Galaxy S Vibrant in the US that was locked to the T-Mobile network ... I went ahead and unlocked it using the simple little unlock utility found via this site (woohoo!).
I took the phone into Telus and Rogers and both were unable to get the data service (internet/etc) to work on the phone. Voice calls seem to work fine, the phone call receive and send calls ... but no data service! It just says it's unavailable.
Is there something that can be done? I'd really like to be able to get this phone up and running on a Canadian network.

Telus and Rogers both use the WCDMA 850MHZ bands for 3G data in most areas and 1900MHZ in large cities. The T-Mobile vibrant doesn't support 850MHZ. If you live in Canada, you should return the phone...

It should be possible, I've read many people doing. I'm a noob myself when it comes to this, but try checking your APN settings... you may have to manually change them to get it to work...

Yes, nearly all providers in Canada use this band.. I think your only chance is Wind Mobile if you're in Ontario.

Wind Mobile is in Vancouver too, but I think the only difference between Wind and Rogers/Fido/Bell/Telus is that they use the 1700 band instead of 1900.
Wind Mobile
uses both 1700 and 2100 bands in Canada (well Toronto & GTA, not sure about other provinces)
From Wikipedia:
Wind Mobile is licensed to use the UMTS IV frequency band, also known as Advanced Wireless Services (AWS). Using this band, user equipment transmits at 1710–1755 MHz, and receives at 2110–2155 MHz.
Wind Mobile is the first Canadian wireless service provider to make use of the AWS spectrum for its network. In North America, T-Mobile USA is the only other provider to use this spectrum on a large scale. Wind's use of AWS requires that customers use an AWS-capable handset.

So, to make a long story short... The T-Mobile Vibrant uses the "1700/2100 MHz" 3G bands, while Wind Mobile is the only carrier in Canada supporting these frequencies.
Hi guys,
I've searched the O2X forum regarding 850mhz UMTS (HSPA) and found nothing so far. Does anyone here have the O2X P990h model which supports the 850mhz UMTS band? The only thing I can find is that the G2X supports 850 but has the model number P999.
I'm currently tossing up between the Atrix and O2X (I use the Australian NextG network btw). The locked bootloader on the Atrix sucks and coming from a S-Off'ed Desire I really want custom roms etc., but the O2X doesn't have 850mhz support which is a must for me, at least until now.
Since then I've stumbled onto these:
http://www.mobicity.com.au/lg-optimus-2x-nextg.html
They appear to be in a lot of other online shops as well, has anyone actually got one and can confirm normal O2X mods/roms work on the P990H?
Hi, i get 'h' on mine above the signal bars which i am guessing is hspa. (I'm in the UK on orange.) Or am I getting confused with something different?
Sorry if i am talking about something different.
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
This is on czech LG site for O2X:
2G network: GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
3G network: UMTS 900/1900/2100, HSDPA 7,2Mbps / HSUPA 5,7 Mbps
so i guess 850Mhz for UMTS is really not supported, at least not on EU model (but i doubt the specs will be different elsewhere on P990)
Actually he's talking about one listed as "LG P990H Optimus 2x 850/1900 "
It's on negrielectronics web site as well as a few others... but it seems impossible to find out any information on it. I myself am also interested..

No, completely different. The standard Optimus model number is P990. There is a 2nd model called the P990H which has 850mhz UMTS support (apparently at least).
So nobody has ever bought or used one of these phones?
where do you see a 850 umts version ?
Fido's LG P990hn is an 3g 850/1900/2100 phone. I'm curious that is it able to flash a p990's third party rom or not.

Don't take this as a definitive answer, but yes, it should be.
As you can see from the included screenshot, the ROM itself (via Hidden menu) lets you select 850 bands for both GSM and WCDMA, even though the radio doesn't support WCDMA-850 on the regular P990, which the screenshot is from. (This is from the new official Gingerbread, but it was the same on Froyo.)
You may run into other problems of course, like the ROM not liking your baseband, which is the one thing you probably shouldn't replace with stuff from the P990.
As stated, I cannot say for sure, but I think you can try without damaging your phone. (Or get someone else to try it on theirs ;-)) Which is my way of saying you probably should get a second opinion. And a third.
Cant you just get a G2X? Theyre 850 i think. Or you could join the dark side and use optus

Just saw this thread and wanted to clarify for anyone else who might stumble upon it.
P990HN from Fido does support 850Mhz and also works with all the custom roms/kernels for P990
I'm brazilian.
In Brazil, UMTS is 850/2100mhz
(990h model)
here in mexico 850 its the 3g band, the 8xxx baseband + canadian ril makes the phone p990h, but the radio its not capable on p990 celphone, you can just load miui or cm7 and load the 8xxx baseband and the canadian ril then you can upgrade your phone
I have the LG Optumus 2x - P990.
This phone has a software lock on the UMTS 850Mhz Band.
Does anyone know how to root this phone and unlock it?
My phone will sometimes connect to 3G here in Canada, but then it reverts back to Edge Network. If I turn my phone Off/ON, it will usually connect to 3G then after a few mintues goes to Edge. Certian parts of the city I'm in will connect to 3G at all times, it's very strange.
I did not know (and still confused) about what I was doing when I flashed my Fido LG P990hN with T-mobile CyanogenMod7. I can operate on Rogers network, but its not stable. Im new to this so I don't know what questions to ask - I just keep reading forums and help files. Michael

ok guys, here what I found.
I started separate thread in Q&A section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1521105
I'm in Ontario, Canada on Rogers. Got LG o2x from buddy who bought it in Europe. Then my mystery started. At home I was getting 3G and H, but at work (about 50km away) was getting only EDGE. But buddy with iPhone had 3G all the time. I got suspicios. Tried everything - flashing different ROMs, RILs, BBs... Same sh...it.
Then, my another buddy bought used LG 3D (Thrill) which was sold by Rogers (i.e. official Canadian edition) and asked me to root it. I did and tested - he had 4G (same as H, I guess) all the time. WTF!!!
So quest continues...
I found hidden menu in both phones. There I could force phone to use exact band I wanted. And mystery was solved...
So I forced:
GSM850 - my o2x got Edge; buddies: 3D Edge (the same)
GSM1900 (GSM PCS on phone) - my o2x: G; buddies: G
WCDMA1900 (UMTS_Band_II) - my o2x: H; buddies: 4G
and now...
WCDMA850 (UMTS_Band_V) - my o2x: NOTHING; buddies: 4G
So I made the conclusion that European o2x has WCDMA850 band disabled somehow. It explaines why I have H at home (big city where H is on WCDMA1900) and only Edge at work (small town and H is on WCDMA850).
Now I'm trying to find out if it's possible to unlock/enable WCDMA850 band on this phone. I read that Samsung has hidden menu where you can select bands you want to use.
Does somebody have and idea if there is something like that in LG?
Thanks!!!

There is, but it won't do you much good, as this is, to my knowledge, a hardware limitation. The P990 can not use the 850Mhz band, the P990h and P990hN can.
If you still want to try you'll find band selection in the hidden menu. Dial 1809#*990#, select Modem Setting/Band selection.

That's exactly what I did - went into hidden menu and selected each band one by one and then checked status in Engineering Mode of Modem Settings.
Now I have next idea: all this experiment I did while having "canadian" baseband 823. And i had WCDMA850 line in Band selection (but it didn't work).
Now I'm wondering if I still have WCDMA850 entry if I put "european" baseband 725. This will be my next step tonight. Because if I have WCDMA850 in 725 bb then I would assume that phone CAN handle it but it's disabled somehow.
What do you think?
I just thought that for manufacture like LG is easier to make just one universal phone and then limit available bands using software (or firmware)...
Thanks for ideas!!!
You'll find the (non-functioning) 850 band on European basebands as well.
I'm no electronics engineer, but I think there's more involved in supporting a specific frequency than just the baseband. (I think each frequency needs some kind of dedicated amplifier among other things.) The chip itself is capable of supporting 850 I think, but not the rest of the "supporting" electronics. I may be completely wrong though.
Basically the P990h is the revision which enables the 850 band. I think trying to get it to work on the regular P990 is futile, but you're of course free to try anything you want.
If I remember rightly, in the O2X review by Aandtech, they say that the 850 option is there in software but not there in hardware (on European version). So even though you can select it, it won't work. (At least that's according to the initial review)
I am in South Korea and will be moving to the UK soon.
I have the SU600 on SKT in Korea. It is rooted and I'm running Kangs CM on 4.0.3.
If I buy a UK sim card when I arrive, will the phone work fine for calls/messaging/data? I looked on gsmarena and the 2G frequencies seem to match up. But the 3G on the phone is HSDPA, but GSM arena says the UK needs UMTS 2100. Will it still work?
Would I need to get it unlocked in Korea before I leave?
Thank you

From my experience, having a custom rom is effectively same as having a sim unlocked phone. So based on what you wrote, I have every expectation that you'll successfully use at least the 2g network in UK.
I bought my su660 in Korea too and now I am using it in the US. It turned out, however, that I cannot use the 3g hspa network here with T-Mobile because they require phones having both 1900 & 2100 bands. So I am stuck with just 2G for now.
So I would do careful research on what bands UK operators use before you head on over, especially if you really need 3g speed and if you are not planning on buying another phone anytime soon. I hope you will be in better luck than me.
Bon voyage and good luck!

You are wrong sim unlock has nothing to do with root/custom ROM. He has to unlock the SIM before.
And to unlock you need a STOCK LG ROM, froyo or gingerbread, as it needs lge hidden menu which isn't present in custom ROMs.
I unlocked last week I had to reflash a froyo LG Stock ROM.
Some people say that putting a SIM card from a different network pops up the unlock option at boot but couldn't try.

I imported an ATT Atrix for using in Mexico with Telcel Carrier, and when I first inserted the Telcel Sim Card, the Sim Unlock Menu popped. So yes, maybe your Optimux 2x is already unlocked.
Anyway, you can unlock your phone anytime and in anyplace. Just insert a sim card from another Carrier Company and the option should be showed.

Cool, I will check the SIM unlock then.
How about the frequencies it uses?
According to gsmarena the SU660 has 2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 3G Network HSDPA
The UK frequencies for 2G are Required GSM 900. Recommended GSM 900 and GSM 1800. and 3G Required UMTS 2100.
I'm guessing that this means the 2G will work, but 3G won't? Can someone tell me if this is correct, I don't fully understand what it means with the SU660 having HSDPA. Is this a different to UMTS??
Hsdpa is UMTS.

That could be a bit misleading because the 2x I have here in Australia has 2100 and 900 but no 850. 850 is used exclusively by one carrier here.
So, the link may depend on in which region the 2x is sold.

I'm not sure if I jumped the gun on my purchase before knowing 100% this phone would work in my region on my network. I have AT&T in the US. I bought an international GT-i9305 Unbranded, unlocked phone. I found out first that the SIM cards are not the same size. I bought a cutter and cut down my larger SIM from my SGS2 and put it in the SGS3.
The SGS3 came with:
Android 4.1.1,
BB I9305ZHALI2,
Kernel 3.0.31-399890,
Build numberJRo03C.I9305ZHBLJ1
I backed up the IMEI, rooted it and installed CWM (though every time I reboot there is no CWM anymore) Ive been using mobile Odin to flash I9305_CWM_Recovery.tar which gets me into CWM just fine and I can flash other modems, Roms etc. I also use Triangle Away to remove flash counter.
My main question is, Everything seems to work fine, but I get NO HSPA data connection? I only get Edge, and its very slow at best. I didnt realize this at first because I was on my wifi network. Is there a fix for this? Or is it because of the version of phone I have that it won't work on AT&T USA network?

I have a 9300, was on AT&T until recently and had H+ all the time.
Thanks I have done that. I've also searched the SGS3 Apn settings on the net. No matter what Apn, always the same result.

I believe you are in trouble with this one:
HSPA @ AT&T
"We currently use frequencies in the 1900 MHz and 850 MHz ranges...."
while i9305 operates on 850/900/2100 Mhz.
It's because differences in 2G,3G,4G in all your carries you have so many versions of one model of device

So I assume then, this is a hardware problem not something I can change by flashing a different modem?

stricte hardware
So there is noone anywhere in the USA that has one of these that works?
Anyone want to buy it? Its not going to be worth me keeping it...PM me if interested. Thanks for the responses

Yes international gt-i9300 manufacture unlocked, UK.
So does the gt-I9305 not have 1900mhz? I spent close to an hour on the phone with AT&T trying to see if it would work. They could see the phone, looked up the IMEI and activated a different SIM for me as I cut mine down from my sgs2. Always Edge data and nothing more. All the descriptions I've found online show the same frequencies as my sgs2. Are there different 9305's out there?

I feel special that I am the only person in the USA that has bought an i9305.:good:
I am pretty sure the I9305 has these frequencies
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
4G Network LTE 850/1800/2600
This is what the specs have always shown. for the one in australia but all i9305 should be the same unless they are i9305t or i9305N
I looked up what australia uses and it does show the 1900 scroll down on this link
http://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/mobile_phone_frequencies
shows this:
3G Hi-band 1900-2100Mhz
The 3G Hi-band 1900-2100Mhz is used by Optus, Telstra and VHA.
Tower Rx /Tower Tx
1920 – 1980Mhz (tower Rx), 2110 – 2170Mhz (tower Tx) using multiple paired 5Mhz and 10Mhz channels
** to be completed **
But you are the first person i know in the US who has bought it purely because you wont be able to have the LTE function.

gsmarena says sth diffrent:
HSDPA 850 / 900 / 2100
maybe for Australia is another model but it at least should have diffrent name
But I have seen more sites saying that it does support 1900 more then sites that say dont, I did a quick search on google and the 1st List of search pages when I type I9305 Frequencies I see that Only gsmarena dont display the 1900 All other sites say 1900 Maybe GSM arena is wrong.
Only the I9305T maybe is different but we also have the I9305 and hardware should be the same.
Only difference from country to country is the Modem SOftware

it's pretty reliable source, but I'd say it's 50/50 (50% says it does and 50% it doesn't)
how about samsung:
http://www.samsung.com/ae/support/model/GT-I9305TADXST-techspecs ??
and if it'd have 1900 then shouldn't it work for highaltitude ?
Well I spent alot of today with AT&T both on the phone and in store. Their system will see the SIm card and that there is a phone, but it will say Unknown Phone. They tried to switch me to a 4G/LTE data plan to see if then 3G/HSPA etc would work but it kept getting stopped because it said my IMEI number is not right or unrecognized. No matter what, their system would not take the IMEI number. I finally got a tech on the phone to put in a correct IMEI that AT&T would recognize, however it still said Unknown phone and still therefore would not let him switch the data plan. I am still at a loss because I swear the specs Ive read are pretty much the same as my SGS2 for frequencies (other than /4GLTE etc) So after one week of having a cool new phone that is stuck with Edge data, I am going to have to get rid of it and go back to the SGS2. Sux, as I really like the new phone.
you are not alone.I bought a Gt-i9305 that came from france/orange before doing my homework.i am on t-mobile and a very slow 2g speed maybe i will sell mine also and get an us sg3.
Yup, got mine for sale on ebay right now.

While we are discussing 3g data issues does anyone in the USA have a I9300 working with 3g
