[Q] Nexus One APN for STC (Saudi Telekom)

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

Hi welcome to Riyadh
STC's APN is: jawalnet.com.sa
proxy is : proxy.jawalnet.com.sa
Port: 8080

thank you
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'd love to switch to mobily but when i went to mobily and asked their representatives whether its possible to transfer my number to them, they said its "too difficult and that i have to get a new number." which i find very strange considering its advertised on their website!!

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

N1 in Riyadh
Please tell me where i can buy a nexxus one here in Riyadh
Thanks
/cj

its right across the street from the sahara mall (take imam abdulaziz rd), in the electronics district next to the ministry of communications. you can't miss it but be prepared to pay at least 2300+ SR

Guys I'm having a strange problem in my nexus one. I have a T-Mobile n1 with un rooted froyo 2.2
I have 3g network from STC and I'm getting internet in all my application except by browse, I can't brows any sites when connected to 3g or even 2g or edge, but I can check my gmail, gtalk, Facebook and all other sw.
What could be the problem? ?

[Q] Unlocked galaxy note on Cincinnati Bell apn issues

Hi all, I am having trouble getting my unlocked note that I bought from amazon working on my Cincinnati bell network. I have voice but after searching the internet I tried a few different apn settings but can only seem to get the 2g edge network and not 3g let alone 4g. Any help would be greatly appreciated

i believe 2g is all you will get. cincinnati bell runs 1700/2100 3/4g and your note uses 850/1900. same problem as tmobile usa except the few western states using the 1900 for 3/4g.....

Jesus, how can a country that influent be so totally retarded when it comes to getting a mobile phone to work across the entire country? There's like a million standards and not even the same within a single operator. Get with the times - heard about GSM/WCDMA you know that the rest of the entire would uses?

Thanks, I heard T-Mobile runs the same network as Cincinnati Bell, would their galaxy s II work then?

tmous branded "should" work.. uses the same freq...

You can get more than 2G. CB has their own 3G network but you have to go to the store and upgrade your SIM card

That does not seem to be the point here... The point is that it seems Cincinnati Bell uses frequencies that are NOT compatible with the N7000 being the 1700/2100 band as opposed to the 850/1900 band that the N7000 uses.

Only getting edge speed on T mobile (1900 mhz network area)

I'm only getting EDGE connection /speeds from t-mobile. However according to a press release a couple months back, my area was supported (goleta/Santa Barbara area) for HSPA+). How can I enable this network or why am I only getting edge? I am using a Criskelo rom.

Correct me if I am wrong but international note can ONLY be used at edge with US T-Mobile. The note doesn't have the radios for the Baseband of T-Mobile frequencies. As I have read in the forums in the past only at at&t can connect the note for 3g, not 100% sure for the last.

if you are on GSM network .. switch to WCDMA only network in your network settings

3G/4G of T-Mobile USA uses a relatively rare frequency 1700/2100 UMTS Band IV (aka AWS). The Note can't support it. You choice is either stick at the EDGE speed or switch to AT&T(or its MVNO).
TMOUS is starting to refarm their 3G/4G frequency to which the Note will support. But I think it might takes years to get the work done.

tmous is rolling out 1900 frequencies so it will be able to get 3g and possibly 4g depending on where you are... currently there are members on here from the northwest that have confirmed this working...
as for the question at hand i would contact tmo and ask if the towers are running and where in your area to make sure... the auto gsm/wcdma mode should work fine because if you leave the area where there is 1900 and are on wcdma only you will get no svc...

Well here's the press release: newsroom.t-mobile.com/articles/new-4g-markets-nov2011
Hmm...I'm a total noob at this stuff and guess I was assuming I was gonna get HSPA+ due to it listing 1900 mhz in Santa Barbara on the Wirelessadvisor website in a zipcode search.
Am I wrong to assume that if the network is 1900 mhz band? Changing the gsm/wcdma didn't do anything. Guess I should contact t-mobile to make sure?

[Q] Galaxy Note in Japan - what version?

I want to buy a Galaxy Note (probably from eBay) to use in Japan and I was originally planning on buying the N7000 (no LTE, 1.4ghz) because it's known as the 'international' version.
However, I just read that the Galaxy Note that was released in Japan (with the carrier NTT DoCoMo) has different specs from the N7000 (LTE, Snapdragon S3 APQ8060 1.5ghz dual core).
If I buy an unlocked N7000 from eBay, will it work with a Japanese carrier?

Yes the N7000 will technically work on DOCOMO and softbank
as they both run UMTS Band I Network

I have a GT-7000 and I am on the b-mobile network (which technically piggybacks off of Docomo) and it works fine.

thanks for the help!

Make sure you check with Docomo or soft bank first before you try this. They're Japanese companies after all which typically means their way or the highway. They may want you to buy a phone from them and if you don't you might not be able to get the typical discounted service plans if they let you have a SIM card at all. Docomo actually sells the note and you can probably get it for free* if you go to a keitai seller.
*free by paying for the phone and getting a discounted rate every month for 24 months.

I just got the bmobile free data sim and I can't get the data to work with my N7000. I've tried changing the carrier from Unspecified to LTE and changing the network mode to GSM/WCDMA to WCDMA only. Here are my settings:
APN: bmobile.ne.jp
user: [email protected]
password: bmobile
Authentication: PAP or CHAP
Did I miss anything? There's no "3G" or "H+" displayed, but I have a good signal. Voice calls work fine too.

GPS working?/Features disabled?

Hello,
I plan on buying an GSM unlocked s6 active on ebay, as it's not available in my country. (Europe, Austria)
Will the GPS performance suffer if I buy it from the US & use it in Austria? GPS is the most important thing for me. (Ingress)
Also, can someone tell me if there are any missing features if not used with an at&t sim card? I've read that call forwarding is disabled then.
Thanks in advance.

Hello.
I use gps with Navigon and it works ok.
I would not know about any missing features (dont use call forwarding).
The only thing you have to watch out for is the frequencies your carrier uses, because active does not support 900MHz band for UMTS, and 700 (band 17) on LTE. So in my case i have full 4g internet most of the time,but when the signal drops i have E. there is nothing in between, no 3g. But there are free wifi almost everywere, so i dont care much. Im from Slovenia and use it on SiMobil. But if i use roaming and connect to Telekom (witch doesnt use 900Mhz band and has far better signal), i have 4g everywere.
I like the phone wery much. Had a bit trouble finding some good screen protection.
Hope this helps

So there is no 3g at all and only lte for ALL european carriers or is it just in your case (in slovenia)?
Thank your for your reply you helped me further
EDIT: Can you please tell me, which sim card size the active is using?

The phone uses nano-sim.
I am saying it depends on the carrier. My carrier, Simobil, uses 900MHz band for 3g and the phone doesnt support it, so i get only 4g and edge. But some other carriers, like Telekom, dont use 900MHz band for 3g and i get all speeds of internet connection. You should check witch bands your carrier uses.
