Galaxy S - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys i was wondering if the galaxy s 3g is able to be changed to the 4G? as i have 2 of these one on t-mobile UK and aother on orange UK and iam trying to get the wifi caling app onto both phones, both phones are not locked to the networks.
see i believe that the fone has to be 4G for this app ( please advise of this is incorrect )
also if this is possible to do could someone point me to a link that shows an idiots guide on howto install the wifi apk please.
thank you
Mick

Motorola Milestone on iceandfire ROM gets no signal from ROGERS

Hello everyone. I recently got a used Motorola Milestone. I rooted it and was able to flash a custom ROM (specifically iceandfire-v1.8-16.03.11-milestone.zip) . Its a neat rom!!
My next step was to unlock it. I think it was locked to either Telus or WIND Mobile, but i wasnt 100% sure which. I purchased the unlock code online, and selected Telus as its locked carrier. I then got the unlock code, popped my ROGERS sim in ,typed in the unlock code, and success!!
However.... the phone does recognize the ROGERS carrier (on the main screen when u have to swipe to unlock the scrren),but does not get any signal from it. I did a carrier search in the settings ,and WIND was the only carrier it found.
So... 2 questions ,i guess: 1) is it bad that i chose Telus as the locked carrier when purchasing my unlock code? As the phone seems to like WIND Mobile (which causes me to believe it was locked to WIND after all)
And 2) or is it just that the ROM i have installed didnt come with the right radio code? Or no radio code adjustment at all?? Im not sure if radio is always a separate flash or not.
Any info would be appreciated... thanks

Shoot - i just learned in another forum that apparently WIND's band for 3g is 1700/2100mhz , where Rogers is 850/1900mhz.
So that may be my answer.... sorry about that.
Going to switch the milestone setting to 2g to see if that works.
Thanks! Any extra info is welcome ,however!

mine 5 minutes...coz the slow internet speed
Solved...
This was solved by flashing the below SBF file (using RSDLite on Windows)
A853_Telus_Upgrade__SHOLS_U2_05.26.1__USASHLSMR2TLSB1B2B506E.0R_1FF.sbf
After installing this, I tested the phone with Bell and Rogers SIM cards... nice clear signal and internet on both!!!!
Thanks everyone for your help. I hope others will find this useful.
want to 10 post
thx for post..

[Q] [Solved] GSM Tmo Tab with JK3 modem, no service!

Hi everyone, I flashed different ROMs for a couple of weeks, and finally decide to settle down with OC 2.3.3, the July 15th latest one. However, the same problem occurred, which is with a Tmo Modem in the tab, I have great signal, EDGE data, and no phone function. With JK3, I got nothing, which is the main reason I switched back to Froyo at first.
I am a ATT user, holding a Tmo GT. I didn't find any fimilar threads, and in fact, I think this is a question needs precise answers.
Thanks in advance!
Updated on #4
UPDATE: I find the signal sometimes appeared and give me GPRS... So weird... I even reflash the rom again, not help. So any other paople could help me?

You can use the t-mobile modem, and you will only get EDGE. You can use a vibrant modem and you can get voice and EDGE.
BUT YOU WILL NEVER GET 3G.
There are probably a five hundred posts on this.
And it will never matter which rom you use. It is only due to hardware limitations, as I explained to you elsewhere.
Thanks for the help, but you misunderstood. I know the edge and voice stuff, just the modem didnt work on my tab.
Since I absolutely want gingerbread this time, I finally figure this out, I went to wireless settings and select GSM only, instead of autoselect. NOW I can FINALLY make calls and get edge instead of gprs. I will keep tracked to see if this method could solve the problem eventually.
People see alot of similar threads and they forgot to care about simple problems because they thought it was old, which in fact isnt. Still thank this forum for bringing me all the great things!

It is usually the simple things that cause us problems! And you wouldn't have gotten any reply if I didn't care about your problem.
Why can't you switch to a t-mobile sim card so you can enjoy the 3g?
Do u mean if I switch to tmobile I could get 3g and voice? I am managing a family plan right now and my wife is waiting for iphone 5, but if that is the situation, I might consider switching... ao attractive...

From my understanding TMO only provide 3G data plan for tab. No voice plan. Am i right rangercaptain? You did explain to me last time in other treat that only certain region receive the voice plan. Ex spain, israel etc. Or maybe my understanding is wrong? Haha,,just want some confirmation also on this matter. Im interested to know

You are 100% right.
T-mobile tabs in the USA get voice or 3g using the switch.
In a few other countries t-mobile tabs get voice and 3g, no switch needed.

Yes, sort of.
You would have to install the Rotohammer modem switch.
Mode #1 = voice, sms, and EDGE speed data.
Mode#2 = 3g data only.
Thank you for that info rangercaptain. You just add more knowledge to me.
;P

Hi can someone please please help me.

Hi I question this question on a other website but got no answer im hoping to get one here. I have TMO galaxy tab that I flash the Euro Firmware everything works fine but when I click on web it keeps taken me to my.t-moblie.com but when I try to go to a other website it wont let me and takes me right back to my t-moblie is there something wrong? Also is there a way I can get 3g back on my tab? Also if I get Gingerbread Upgrade would it ease everything I did and would it unlock my tab? I'm very sorry for all these questions thanks. for any help.I also can't go to the web when I put my sim card from my cell phone in my tab but when I put my sim that came with the tab the internet works fine runs slow. Is there anything I can do about this? thanks
Same thing happened to me so i remove my data plan: -) Now i am enjoying on my wifi.
Now i think u can make it work by flashing a new rom on it. try overcome jupiter rom.
Just dig into forum more there are more topic on this.

Xperia Z(c6603) : LTE on AT&T by ZL(c6506) baseband method.

I have been following the "LTE in Canada" thread, but I haven't seen any confirmation of this working on AT&T. Is there anyone out there that has this working pn their AT&T service? Screen shots of speed tests, please!
If it is not possible to do this for AT&T like it is for Rogers and Fido, can someone please explain why not?
Thank you. I kno the T-Mo xperia z(6606) is out, but it is network locked.
Ok two points to make -
1. Dont post questions in General, thread now moved to Q&A.
2. If you recive an answer that you dont agree with, then it's best to ignore the said answer and move on, lets behave in a more mature manner please.
Thanks

Need to be sure it works before I buy the phone.
I tried, so far I cannot make LTE work with either TMOBILE or ATT...
Looks like the baseband from zl cannot work on both.

I also tried baseband from C6506. It didn't work on both t-mo and at&t even though it says support LTE band 1, 2, 4, 5 and 17.
