I purchased an unlock code for my G1. Earlier i was running froyo by laszlo and I put in my AT&T sim. Then I entered in my code. And I got the no signal bars. So i reverted back to Stock and when I put in my AT&T sim, it just said no service (didn't even ask for an unlock code). No I'm back on CM5, and it still says no service. How do I get it to work??
Im not entirely sure, but try going into
Menu - setting - wireless and network - mobile networks - network operators.
and click at&t when it pops up.
If that doesnt work, im sorry .

I did that, but it keeps saying my SIM doesn't allow a connection to that network. Could it be because I had a Simple Mobile sim in before?
I never used a unlock code on a phone before. But it should usually ask you for the unlock code if its not unlocked.
However, in your case, it IS unlocked. SO all should be fine. Dont know what the issue is.

I'm thinking about buying a captivate for my wife but she is on the Tmobile network... I am aware you can unlock the captivate fairly easy to be used on Tmobile but I was wondering if you lose any functionality in doing so. I know that some 3g phones will only get edge if unlocked for the opposite network. (like the iphone for tmobile only gets edge). Thanks in advance
Also!! My gf is getting a new phone that can't have data. But! I was wondering, if I give her my extra captivate(after I fix the cracked screen) can I unlawful ock it and give it to her without it asking for a data plan? And sorry op, but I didn't want to start a new thread

If your phone is rooted you can unlock it permenently by installing galaxy_s unlock by helroz from the market as well as busy box. If you don't want the root option you may call at&t for that.
1.root your phone (search one click root for galaxy s and download to your pc)
2.download galaxy_s unlock & busy box
3.run busy box then galaxy_s unlock you must allow both apps with super user permission.

I have a captivate on tmobile and I am able to use the unsupported phones data plan for $10 per month. It's only 2g, but the point is that the network doesn't pick it up as an android phone and I'm fine with that. I doubt they'd make you get a data plan if you just used it without explaining anything because as far as I can tell the emei isn't registering with the network as an android phone.

Good news, I finally got the captivate to unlock and accept the tmobile sim. Everything seems to be working fine so far. No data on the plan but using wifi til I add data. One thing I'm really curious about is.... Now that the phone is unlocked and working, If I flash a custom rom (say cognition) will I lose the "unlock" ?
*edit* forgot to say how I did it... I just simply flashed back to stock 2.1, master cleared,rooted, installed busybox and galaxy unlock app, used the #2 method with the unlock app and it worked. PATIENCE IS KEY! ===> It takes a good 2-4 minutes for the tmobile signal to kick in so it may seem as if the unlock failed but it just takes alot longer than the at&t signal to kick in.

Hi there! I'm sorry if there already is such a thread but I couldn't find anything quite like this.
I bought this i9305N second hand and it had the famous IMEI problem 00/02. I went to a service center and there they were able to restore the IMEI of the device. And the phone was able to connect to the 3G as normal but not the 4G network. I've never seen the 4G working on this phone and have no idea what to try. What I tried was:
different modem firmwares.
flashed CM 10.1 and again tried those modems.
tried to set the phone to lte only via the *#197328640# code.
I think that in Sweden this phone is supposed to work on only the tele2 and telenor 4g network. I've tried sim cards from both operators.
Has anyone experienced something like this? Does anyone have an idea what is happening and what I can try?
Thanks in advance.
Does yr provider support 4G?yr sim card support 4G? If all above Yes then yr area doesn't support 4G or the coverage of 4G very poor till none.

my operator supports 4G. There is 4G coverage and I've tried cards from every carrier here on contract and prepaid.
Try a phone wipe and install the stock firmware for your network .

Just out of curiosity, have you tried cards confirmed to be on 4G-enabled contracts? I had to call Tele2 and ask them to change my contract over to a 4G one before I would receive 4G speeds. Another silly thing you could check is if the phone is actually connecting to the 4G APN, for Tele2 this would be 4g.tele2.se.
Hi! This is the thing! I havent found a card with confirmed 4G on it. I was told that sim cards on contract have 4G enabled on them. I was wondering if there is some sort of a tool to scan networks around and see information about them like what freq and speed etc... I am using my comviq card now in the phone with the apn that you mentioned and that was set automatically as the phone is with the tele2 firmware. The most brutal thing was when I went to the tele2 office and asked for a 4g activated sim to try on my phone and they said that they don't have any!!!! I went to the telenor shop and when I asked for a demo sim card with 4G so that I can test my phone and he gave me a 3G prepaid card. After 10 minutes of changing settings and stuff on my phone I asked him if that card has 4G on it at all he said - no, its just a 3G. I am going a bit of topic but my point is that it is extremely hard for me to find out where the problem is.

I want to be sure that the phone works on 4G after the reparation before getting a 4G contract.
Find someone with a 4G contract and ask to test his SIM in your phone.
I had a friend enable lte on his contract and then tried the sim on my phone. LTE didn't kick in. I don't know what it could be. Any suggestions please?

Hi.
I live in the "kära grannlandet" Finland and i had to call my operator to put my i9305 as my active phone.
(They change the ownership of the phone on their computer)
I bought my phone 2hand but it was factory sealed new. operator locked to the same operator that i use.
The phone was "active" to somebody else without 4G so thats why it didnt work for me.
Hope this helped at all..
Lycka till!
My friend had similar issues with his S2, I went into the phone options menu using the #xx# number and the phone itself was not set to lte mode. I am sure you can find the menu codes somewhere on the forums as I don't have them memorized. It is worth checking if you have not done so.

recently changed service providers and wanted to use my moto x but its sim locked to the carrier. i looked around on the forums and the method of buying a unlock code just seems to risky, I wouldn't mind flashing my phone if it would get me what i wanted. i don't like the phone i got with the service but i'm not on contract anymore. so would flashing the phone get me past the sim lock or would it still be there afterwards?
If you are not under contract then call that carrier for the unlock. Which carrier out of curiosity.
You can't flash past the Sim lock far as I am aware
Sent from my XT1058 using xda app-developers app
If it's gsm, you can't flash to a different provider. Sim unlock is the only way to use it on other carriers. If it's Verizon, even though it's cdma, it should be gsm unlocked already if you moved to gsm. If it's Sprint you should be able to flash it to another cdma carrier.

Did you download and use the LTE Discovery App? It needs to reset your modem. Also double check to make sure you entered the apn exactly the same. No phantom spaces, etc. There should be no spaces in the "apn type".
If you still aren't getting data I have one more apn you can try.

I am using a T-Mobile Note 4 on ATT network and have no issues. First of all make sure LTE is enabled on your number/simcard. If not call the customer care and ask them to enable LTE on your line. They will ask your device IMEI number and then enable it. If not u will only get a 4G signal on your phone
If you are having trouble getting data on your device, then use these APN settings

I have tried that one already :/
The service rep said this "You are getting LTE on your other lines. Because the device that being use on the line is sync on your account. Since the device that is sync on the line that ends with 1521 is the iPhone 6 Plus. The Note 4 does not receive data service. Because it is registered on the iPhone 6 plus." how legit is that?
If u have a phone on contract on that line, then I use guess it is difficult. Or you can go to an ATT store and say that u lost your sim card. Ask for a new one and say that it is for an Android LTE smartphone.

According to this thread, you also have to go to settings, more networks, mobile networks, network mode and change to LTE/WCDMA/GSM.

I know people are successfully getting LTE on T-mobile Note 4 on AT&T service, though I am not sure which APN settings they're using. Looks like there are at least 3 in this thread to try... but it may be a block from AT&T ? I can't imagine that's the case, but I honestly don't know exactly how much control they (AT&T) have over what bands a given sim card can receive if its not matched to the imei on file in their system? I guess a lot?
OFF TOPIC: How much did you guys pay for the unlock codes? (curious)
LTE works great on this phone with AT&T service. Been using it without issue for months.
I don't know why this person is having issues. Only thing I can think is that the Sim card is bad.
Paid $30 for the unlock.
My AT&T account doesn't even show a smart phone. See the screen shot below. As long as it says LTE device then it's not AT&T causes the problem.
