I live in toronto and trying to buy a white galaxy note .
i previously had 2 black galaxy notes, and they had no problems at all to find the APN settings for rogers, bell, and telus automatically. data and everything worked perfectly without setting up. those phones were from germany.
I went to the pacific mall yesterday, and i was looking for a white version.
first of all, she lied to me that the phone is from europe but when i checked its firmware it was the latest Hongkong firmware not european.
second, when i put my simcard in it, it did not detect rogers APN and she manually typed it in setting. i told her the phone is supposed to find APN settings automatically but she said it cannot find it automatically and she was typing APN for every single phone she sold. (she probably didn't remember me buying 2 phones without having to do that kinda stuff .. )
My question is.. that is it related to more like firmware problems? then I could just Odin it to the european firmware and it will be automatic?
Please, if you have any kind of informations.. please let me know...
Few days without my NOTE have been just miserable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks
I can feel your pain
I have a European version, and it automatically finds all the apn numbers.
But I thought that these were preprogrammed in the simcard? Did not know that the rom-version could have anything to do with it?
Not sure if it helps you but im using xxkl7?

I thought so too until yesterday... but she was literally searching and typing right in front of me
conversation was like
She: all the galaxy notes are supposed be like this!
Me: what about 2 of my previous phones i perchased here?
she: we always do it in the back before we sell it to customer
Me: I thought you gave me brand new in box SEALED
and then she couldn't say anything and after 5 seconds she said ..
i don't know if you don't want it don't buy it.
seriously...
Its not the phone's fault that it dint detect the apn.
Its the firmware.
When i got note almost 4 months ago, i had to configure the settings by myself and i stil have to do it , when i install certain roms.

I guess it's the rom problem then!
so does it mean if i flash la4, it should find apn automatically?
i will give another shot tmr... hope there's no open box BS.lol

the one i am trying to buy is an international version and two of my previous ones were working perfectly without creating my own apn setting..
looks like you are using the LTE note released in canada..
if your phone originally was locked with other phone company than the one you are using right now, your phone might not have any other apn setting other than its original one, As far as I know.
I have the international version (I assume, I bought it from expansys), and it worked first time out of the box.
I have a Hong Kong Note with 2.3.5 and it found the Telus apns for me. I was surprised becasue I was expecting to have to enter them manually.
APN is related to CSC
If your CSC is not set correctly, It may not set APN automatically.
*#272*IMEI# show your sales code. If it set correct to your country code, it should have no problem
If your country code not appears, you have to flash CSC separately
NOTE : Flashing CSC or Changing CSC will wipe off data.

I Have bought my Samsumg Galaxy S in Bahrain, but using it in India. In Bahrain the google services are banned so I didnt have android market and maps. So to get these services I changed the CSC using the code
*#272*hhmm# using Indian time. The CSC changed to 'XSG', after this I got the Market and maps but now the phone does not detect any network.
Tried searching for networks both automatically and manually, but the mobile does not detect any network. I've also changed sim cards and tried but the problem is still persisting.
am completely stuck now, i've hardly used my brand new phone for 4 days. would trying the code again with bahrain's time solve the problem?? pls help me out....
It's nothing to do with CSC, in my opinion.
Just to be sure, did you ever see the phone working with any network in Bahrain?

Yes it did work in Bahrain, and after coming to India and after changing to the local sim also it worked. Until I changed the sales code. I dont know wether its the result of changing the CSC or the hard reset that happens after changing the CSC.
Did you try this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=892352&highlight=change+CSC
Or how did you change it? I suggest that you move back to the original CSC to see if it works again.
I was planning on giving my uncle my ace and unfortunately when I put his sim in and try to connect to Rogers APN it says I'm unable to register on to the network. I put my sim in from my One V and it worked on that phone. I'm assuming it's carrier locked, how exactly can it be fixed if at all. Thanks.

the phone is locked. you need to get an unlock code. look on ebay or your local craigslist. you should be able to get it done for under $20

I've heard that cellunlocker.net works. It costs some money, but from what I've heard, it sounds pretty good!
Why I thought this wasn't the case is that my phone never asks for a code to be unlocked like these sites say, so I'm a little confused as to whether my phone is locked or unlocked.

There's probably a hidden menu that you have to access. I think if you get your code, specific for your device, they should give you clear instructions on how to get there... But they probably won't do it until you pay for it . I'll try and search around and see what I can find.

Alrighty! Here is the thread that you might be looking for. It's a bunch of hidden menus, and one of them might be the one you are looking for....

I think u should edit ur apn configuration and use rogers setting.. may be u can find the rogers setting in their web..
You didn't specify which ROM the Ace was running. If its a stock Samsung ROM, I'd expect it to ask for a code, but with CM7 or 9, it won't since those build lack some libraries to perform the actual unlock.
To get your code look into the bml5 method.
Hello
I have a problem with my note that just happened about a week ago now. I get an error message advising "not registered to network'.
THis is preventing me from receiving/sending mms and also receiving/making voice calls. I can however browse internet via 3g with no problem.
my note was bought on o2 contract. I flashed a german version of stock jb 4.1.2 by changing csc to DBT and updating via kies several months ago and its been workin fine up until this point.
To document what i have done so far:
I have tried hard resetting several times now. It keep coming back to german language because of the csc. I have bow changed the CSC to BTU and tried resetting again. It comes back with English lanuage now.
I have put my (o2) Sim in my old galaxy s and i can receive and make calls with no issue. I have also tried putting the wifes (three) sim in my galaxy note and this works fine as well.
So both sims seem to be working and both phones appear to be working but the o2 sim refuses to work properly in the Galaxy note.
I have since contacted o2 who have now sent me a new sim which i have now simswapped, the error persists.
As one final thing i am currently downloading the stock o2 firmware 4.1.2 from samfirmware and will flash it shortly but failing this, does anyone have any idea what might be casuing this. Could the fact i had german csc be preventing the phone from connnecting to uk network ?
Cheers
John.
tried flashing stock uk 4.1.2 firmware .
Still have the problem. Does not work.
anyone have any ideas.

Cheers Baz.
Turns out the imei is the issue. Its been replaced with a generic one when i have updated at some point. So its off to the samsung service center for me.
That sucks, so its blocked in your country.
If they won't fix then cvxcvx can fix it
Greetings,
I just bought a Galaxy Note 3 N9005 by ebay. It seems to be from France, EU. I'm from Mexico and I'm using Movistar.
Before I bought this phone, I read about edge, H, 3G and 4G compatibility, and everything was ok with its specifications.
Once I got the phone, I inserted my SIM and it auto-configure the phone, and I could call my friends, connect via wi-fi, send message, etc... the only problem I found was that I couldn't connect by data mobile, I checked the APN settings and it was ok. I did a factory data reset and it didn't change.
I have been reading a lot here and I found that this could be because EU restriction, but everywhere I read this, it seems like any functionality works when it's the case. I also saw that this could be solve rooting my phone and installing a ROM.
This phone was factory unclocked, without carrier and inside its box with the label from france.
could someone help me with this, is this normal o I need to return my phone and change it?
Thanks.
If I missed some information, please let me know.
I'm sorry if there was a topic related with this, I looked up for it and I didn't find it.

This section is for the AT&T version as known as the SM-900A. Yours is not the AT&T version so please ask your question in the regular N3 section.

So I bought a brand new Sim-free sealed note 9 from eBay last week here in Germany. Take it from the box turn the phone on and see the OPTUS logo when I power it on and then I was thrilled like WTF is this a fake phone? (didn't know what that logo is) so I searched on google and found out that is just an Australian service provider so was relaxed and then I put different SIM card in the phone and I can do phone calls and use mobile data without any problems. The only problem is that the service provider SW is Locked on Optus Australia (OPS). I downloaded different stock firmware's from SamMobile for Germany (DBT), UK (BTU) Even Australia (XSA) and still in settings at the software info/service provider is shown: OPS/OPS,OPS/OPS and every time when I turn the Phone ON/OFF the annoying OPTUS logo is shown... I tried just only flashing the CSC in Odin but still no changes... I contact the buyer on eBay and he is willing to take the phone back and full refund me. But I want to keep the phone really like the Note 9. Please help me :angel:
You have to change the CSC using a combination file ROM, as they use a multi-CSC now. In some ways, it's better than the old system but in others, it's worse.
This took me ages to figure out but after finding a guide and the right combination ROM (must match the current bootloader version else it won't boot), it worked.
Here's the thread that helped me: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...9-s9-csc-only-same-model-numbers-csc.3870836/
Look through all the comments if you have issues. I believe I mentioned, somewhere in that thread, the exact steps I took to make it work.
Newer versions of SamFirm have a combination ROM download option to simplify finding one (new SamFirm builds don't seem to be on the website yet but the guy who maintains it now also has a YouTube channel where he posts links. Seems to be fine except the very latest version seems a bit ad-filled).
Just so you're aware, the N960F shouldn't be carrier-locked. You just can't change the CSC like older phones could. S7 and Note 7 were the last Samsung phones that used the old CSC system, if I remember correctly. Getting rid of the carrier logo is worth it, though, in my opinion.
