[Q] TeamHacksung ICS Build 3 MVNO - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is a small issue but is anyone using ICS with a MVNO? I have a Virgin mobile SIM which uses the Everything Everywhere network in the UK (Orange/T-Mobile).
When the phone is using the orange network the notification drawer correctly displays this, but when on the T-Mobile network 'No service' is displayed.

Since you managed to flash ICS on your device I suppose you're comfortable doing some more hacking
Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12693880&postcount=5
Maybe look at the file first and check if your provider is the one mentioned in the Finland section.

We are now in build 13 and we still get that roaming icon if we are using a MVNO
this method didn't work for me

I have the same problem with spanish Yoigo

Teamhacksung ICS MVNO roaming problem
same problem on build 16
HELP please !!

anything new about MVNO support? on my galaxy nexus in ics MVNO works without a hack, it`s not treated like a roaming network. somewhere in the process of porting to I9000 this stock ics behavior got lost. would be nice to have a better solution then switching data off in frontier areas.

No 3G Network with I9000XWJG5

Hey,
i flashed the I9000XWJG5 Firmware and now i do not get 3g to work. I used an o2 UK Sim and do net get a data connection (before it was always 3g) and no 3g connection with orange too, just gprs.
Has anyone an idea, what i can do?
--- update ---
also only o2 uk sim is edge where before was 3g.
Made a test with my htc hero (Villainrom 12), same place, same sim card and i got 3g.
and 'only 2g' is NOT activated on the samsung galaxy s
You need to configure your mobile operators' APNs.
it is configured properly. so settings are correct. i am not the only one with the problem. i read it on various threads but couldnt find a post with the solution so far.

You're holding it... wait, no, just manually re-enter the APN settings, because flashing firmware will wipe them out. also try factory reset, if that won't help.
3g will popup immediately when you have put in the correct APN settings. Trust me.

As i said with an htc hero, same settings, it works, with the samsung galaxy it doesnt. so i can assume that the settings are correct
htc hero = 3g
samsung galaxy s = 2g
Could it be you are roaming (you see an R with the reception bars). By default it will not use 3G when roaming. You can turn it on in settings. I have a Dutch Telfort sim and KPN took over Telfort. So i am on the KPN network now and my phone always thinks i am roaming.

Pay as you go or contract? Have you checked the APN entries as they differ on O2.

payasyougo and i changed the the user to payandgo.o2.co.uk also user to payandgo.
works fine in htc hero with 3g, not on samsung galaxy, just 2g
Flashed another Code(CODE_I9000XWJFF) and radio(MODEM_I9000XXJF8.tar) and 3g worked again.
then tried just flash the code (CODE_I9000XWJG5) and it still works. so i guess the radio (MODEM_I9000XXJG1) does not work for my samsung galaxy s properly
when i look now in the settings of 'about phone' i see
baseband version I9000XXJF8 and
Build Number ECLAIR.XWJG5
Does anyone think i will have a problem with that combination?

[Q] Network problems after Gingerbread update

After updating to Gingerbread, the signal bar goes from full to nothing.
I also cant access 3G speeds now.........
Mt network provider is AT&T
and I pay a monthly data plan for it too
can anybody help? :/
In settings, about device, wjat is your baseband? The last three characters should be JK3.
Did you flash the correct modem.bin?
Did you insert your sim correctly?
Did you check your apn setting ( settings, wireless settings, mobile network, apn)?

Droid 4 On Rogers Wireless (Canada) - Incoming "Pay Phone" caller ID Solution

Droid 4 On Rogers Wireless (Canada) - Incoming "Pay Phone" caller ID Solution
I recently got my XT894, Droid 4 in the mail, and hooked it up to Rogers Wireless in Canada.
When I was receiving phone calls, the built in dialer would tell me that "Pay Phone" is calling, the solution to contact the Rogers Customer Care, and have them remove the "Name Display" option.
Rogers has 2 services for call display:
Name Display (which does a phonebook lookup from Roger's Side)
Call Display (the number of the dialer who is trying to dial you)
Most motorola radios don't actually support these 2 features together, so Blur reads it as "Pay Phone". After contacting Customer Service, have them remove ONLY "Name Display". I restarted my phone then everything started working properly again.
I hope this helps someone!
First off, I wanted to say that I'm on the leak 6.16.206
I also got mobile hotspot working on Rogers (this solution may apply to other rooted users running on different providers).
I added the APN settings as defined originally here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20366961&postcount=2
Name: Rogers Tethering
APN: isp.apn
MCC: 302
MNC: 720
APN type: dun
otherwise, any other fields are showing as <not set> OR None
When I tried to add dun to the apn type, the moto UI told me only providers could add DUN types, so I went into SQLite Editor -> Phone/Messaging Storage -> telephony.db -> carriers -> Located the last APN which I added manually, scrolled over to "type" then long pressed that field, chose "edit field" and added dun. Once completed, I restarted my phone. I now have the stock mobile hotspot app working (I had to also disable the entitlement check earlier) on Rogers!
Now wait, you got a Droid 4 working on Rogers????

Yup, no LTE though, just GSM HSPA
Sent from my XT894 running ICS
I can confirm that the Droid 4 works on Rogers. Took a week of fiddling, but it works.
Received the Droid 4 with 2.3.4 installed. Did the over-the-air updates to 4.0.4. Rooted it, installed SafeStrap 3, and installed Olegfusion's CM10/JB ROM (4.1.2), and was off to the races. Shows "E", "3G", and "H" when accessing the Internet.
have you ever try with stock kernel?
I wonder not to update to CM10 right now. I have a problem, it seems to connect, 3G/H letter, bu no tranmition. I have an old jaj, Droid3 working perfectly with same APN records.
Any thing that could help me??

LTE on this phone is not compatible with the Rogers network. If you want a Rogers LTE phone, pickup the Motorola RAZR HD. The phone will operate on 3G or 3.5G, although we in Canada consider HSPA+ to be "4G".
LTE can give you rates of up to 100mbps usually gives you about 25-30mbps
HSPA+ can give you rates up to 12-15mbps I usually get 4-5mbps
I hope that helps!
how hard is it to get Droid 4 to work with Canada (Rogers)?
Do u have to have unlock it and then update to ICS, and then you're all set?

The phone comes unlocked, you just have to load up ICS and throw on the Rogers APN (rogers-core-appl1.apn) and you're good. If you want to do some of the advanced features like setting up wireless tethering and stuff along those lines, you'll need root. I created a full Rogers how-to on droidforums.net, you can view it here :

so you're saying that all droid 4 are already unlocked?
Yes. They are still blocked against US GSM carriers but will work fine everywhere else, no locks.

Maybe someone can help me, I'm on Rogers. I have this same issue on Stock ICS .217 and on CM10. I can make phone calls and send text messages, but I cannot receive either. When I put my sim card in to another phone, I start getting my text messages. Any ideas on how to remedy this?
Have you tried another SIM card in your phone? Sounds like you have something wired. I would also check to make sure you are in global mode on the phone.

BTW where did u guys get your droid 4 if you're from canada? from ebay?

eBay, yes.I got mine as "bad ESN" from a liquidator, it was quite a good deal. Obviously, by now you can find clean ESN versions for below $250.
Anyways, I am on Koodo/Telus. Under Mobile Networks Settings / Network Mode set GSM/UMTS and Select Network must be UTMS only, the default finds GSM which is weird because Telus AFAIK does not even have a GSM network! It has CDMA, HSPA+, LTE even iDEN but not GSM. Before I forced UMTS, phone calls worked more or less but mobile data rarely. Since I forced UMTS I get mobile data everywhere, inside buildings, all that -- I had lots of reception problems with Wind Mobile, Telus is infinitely better.

I went through the process today and got my stock Verizon 217 Droid 4 working on Telus. I verified the Telus APN settings, went through forcing GSM/UMTS and UMTS-only mode, but still have terrible reception: 1-2 bars, -100dbM. Any thoughts for getting better signal?
[SOLVED] DROID 4 Canada SMS/voice only, no data on Rogers/Fido - help!
SOLVED! see below.
Droid 4 from Ebay, $135 or something + shipping. Replacing my string of bad luck with i927's from smartphone_wholesale (aka Cell Phone Forever) on ebay (tho the 1st one they sent was great til i lost it).
SMS/Voice is fine but cannot do any cell data on it. Following all settings on fido's site for APNs the fido-core-appl1.apn doesnt work. Had to manually put it in (APN list was blank). Tried my wife's Roger's sim, it populated the APN list itself (4 of them, all combos of internet w or w/o MMS, and rogers +/- 'internet' in the name). None of them work either (they match what's in the fora here and on the rogers site, rogers-core-appl1.apn etc).
Im a bit of a newb: is my phone not unlocked properly or something? What gives? Radio is set to global or GSM/UMTS (CDMA doenst work of course). What's the solution here?
System version: 98.72.18.XT894.Verizon.en.US
Android Version: 4.1.2
Baseband Version: CMDA_N_05.25.00R LTEDC_UI_09.1D.00
Kernel: 3.0.8-g473e586
Build #: 9.8.20-72_VZW-18 Feb 8 13:11:57 2013
yes mobile data is on (and roaming set to yes but phone states it's not roaming now)
every time i've added apn's and saved i've rebooted (and rebooted twice with wife's SIM in too, in case settings had to go sim -> phone + reboot, etc). No luck any way ive tried.
Thanks for help.
[UPDATE]
belay that request cadet!
Ok I just removed the wife's sim and put mine in, rebooted, and this sim (fido) doesnt populate the APN list. I was in the middle of inputting settings for it, hadn't finished and a buncha text+ came in and wifi is off (I saw I was on Edge, big blue E on status bar). Then before I could even react I had hit save, and data turned off.
Yep, removing "internet" from the APN 'type' works fine. Leave it blank.
W t f. Maybe someone can explain that shiz to me.

Can't connect to any freaking mobile network on cm based roms?

Hi guys,
I'm having some serious trouble with my phone not willing to connect to any mobile network at all it just simply says can't connect to this network right now. try again later and after 10 sec it goes into roaming mode :\ this only happens to me when i'm on a custom rom like MIUI, cyanogenmod, AOKP: all have these problems
maybe some important info:
carrier: telenet (in belgium running with a micro-sim)
phone type: C5303
working in stock rom with exact same APN settings!
I can make phone calls and send messages just fine
Someone who can shed some light on this occasion?
thanks,

Is it a "virtual" provider? If yes ROAMING is normal..

I don't know exactly but i do know that on miui on my old phone i saw that it said connected to Mobistar (appearently my carrier "telenet" and the carrier "mobistar are using the same exact network!)
EDIT: i found this on the internet Telenet Mobile is a MVNO that uses the network of Mobistar
so the hole roaming thing is normal then? won't it use more data or waste more money? i really just wanna have 3G or EDGE on the top like i used to have on stock lol it's a bit confusing having roaming at the top
A network using another ones network is called a virtual provider. Let me explain..
In Holland we have KPN, Tmobile and Vodafone. These three are the biggest one here. We also have Telfort, HI, Hollandsnieuwe and Simyo (or Simpel). These providers are called "Virtual" because they dont have their own antennas. They use the one from KPN (most of them) because this is the biggest provider in Holland at the moment.
The issue you describe sound very familiair. In the Galaxy S + section I've read about this issue and some users fixed this with turning ROAMING on. I did not encounter any issues like this on my Galaxy S+ at that time because im on Vodafone.
Perhaps this will be the solution for you? It also could be a CyanogenMod bug but I have no idea

YAY i got the normal symbols back!!! :: by changing this spn-conf with this one: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s...AGgdPfjLR9knQqvVECx_brcvkPoFkEccIHEAJIar7-lUA
and the enabling data network!
FOR ANYONE HAVING THIS ISSUES WITH MVNO'S USE THAT SPN-CONF.XML!!!!!
The R symbol is normal. It is cool that you changed it but still the R was normal..
Nice work tho
Mine is having throttled speeds, at only 25 Mbps maximum over both cellular network (LTE) and WiFi based on both the CM10.2 & PacMan ROM (Android 4.3.1). Can anyone explain why? Download speed over WiFi is normally over 40 Mbps for stock 2.254 firmware.

4G LTE issue not working

I've got a big problem with my 4G connection... I have WIND (IT) as carrier
When I activate 4G mode, the icon appears on the notification bar, but the connection doesn't work.
I have CM11 and I tried different ROMs, also tried to relock bootloader and return to stock FW, but nothing changed
The APN is correct and it works perfectly with 3G connection
I have the same problem. 3G and LTE are not working. The signal in status bar is showing that there is signal but technically there isn't.
I talked to my network carrier, the told me to change my sim card but the problem remains.

Any devices are only capable of connecting to a specific set of bands. Please make sure the place of yours / carrier supports and make use of the bands that XSP supports.
This should be a rare case, since XSP supports a handful of 4G LTE bands. Therefore, this reply of mine is a useless post. Lol
You might want to check your APN to see if it is correct.
Everything with the APN is correct. The problem is with the phone.
Even after flashing sony official stock rom the problem continues...
