I have a relative from china who brought back a i9228(chinese galaxy note). I've fixed all the google tools(gmail,youtube...etc) but now when I put in my Australian Vodafone sim card it has no mobile networks.
Is it compatible with australian sim cards?
Has anyone tried this yet?
PS:i've checked the phones been unlocked and it's a i9228,official from samsung(I think...)
I've found the problem is "vodafone AU" is not in "Preferred Networks" in Settings/Wireless and Network/Mobile network
But when I try to add/edit one of the Networks "Loading error, Please retry..."
Anyone explored this yet?

Hi, first post, searched a little...need help
I bought a tilt in December from AT&T, an 8900 non camera. I'm in S. Korea and I cannot get service. I have international roam activated and AT&T has confirmed account settings are correct...Here's the deal:
1. Phone searches for a few minutes and the I get an exclamation point.
2. Goto phone settings and see "no service"
3. Change network settings from auto to manual.
4. Phone finds KTF and SK Telecom (the two providers here in S. Korea).
5. Tries to register and generally there is no feedback, but on occasion I have received the message "Cannot read settings from the network. Try viewing settings later or disconnect data connection and try again."
6. Data is not connecting.
7. AT&T technical support (level two after the customer service rep) says the problem with the tilt is I cannot force it to use umts 2100. Then he came up with the idea that my SIM is from AT&T and that's the problem, I have to go get a local SIM from SK Telecom, but I was here in October with a Palm750 and an ATT Sim. Worked like a charm.
I'm stuck....could use any help at all!!!!
Thanks,
Steve

Are the carriers that you are referring to CDMA or GSM?
The local carriers are WCDMA/UMTS 2100 and I've downloaded the band tab dll from another post and confirmed that I am on the correct band...
I'm almost convinced it is an account problem. As of this morning my phone would continously come up with a "select" network screen (As there are 2 networks here). I select either and get the message "unable to register on the selected network, choose another or change data connection type"..
As I understand it, when I roam, my sim or phone # attempts to register across the local network to my home network and it needs authentication before I can have access...
what do you think?
bump....anyone with experience at all here?
In a simialar boat soon
I will be moving to Korea soon (Military) and I have an 8925 (unlocked) and I am wondering if I will be able to use my phone with either SK Telecom or KTF (both have GSM, I checked.)
If so, will I have to change anything in my phone? I'm using Dutty's WM6.1 Hybrid v2 5.2.19716 with the 1.65.14.06 Radio.
Hello,
I have the Droid 3 with Verizon, unlocked, with verizon vodafone sim activated. I am currently in Canada, and am wondering why it will not connect to GSM/HSDPA towers.
If I go into the wireless and networks -> mobile networks -> Operator selection the phone will show me Rogers 2G, Rogers 3G, Bell, and Telus networks.
I also get this error for all three in the drop down menu, the name just changes:
No service
Selected network (CAN Rogers wireless inc. 3g) unavailable.
I have all the APN's entered for all three of those carriers, and can select them with an application named APN Manager, however none of those APN's show up in my wireless and networks -> mobile networks -> access point names. Both the vodafone APN's are unselected though.
I am looking to get on this GSM/HSDPA network, as when I am out in the country there is only 1x dial up internet on CDMA, and HSDPA available in the country.
If anyone can help me out, let me know!
Thanks much, in advance!
I have posted this exact same question at Howardforums. Here is the link to that thread:
/showthread.php/1736801-Q-Droid-3-GSM-Roaming
You will have to first go to howardforums website, then add the above part
Forgot to mention: I tried a Rogers and a Telus sim card and they both got calling service.
Not sure if Verizon has roaming agreement with any of the Canadian GSM networks. You can roam using CDMA here without any problem. I believe Telus is backing up Verizon here when it comes to CDMA.
If you want to use GSM you can put a SIM from any of the operators here (except AWS ones) and you will be fine since you have unlocked phone. Cheaper to use too, of course if using local SIM is an option for you. If you will be using local SIM you will need to define APNs or you won't get data connection. Head over Google for the settings for each of the operators here (Canada)

Thanks Leobg. I believe you are right that there is no roaming agreement for GSM, which makes sense. Verizon lady told me otherwise
This phone is going back though, as I was looking for some HSPA while in the country.
I was using Droid3 and Droid4 with Mexican SIMS, IUSACEL and TELCEL without problem. Now Im at Canada and Rogers SIM doesnt work on both phnes. I guess they are locked, can you describe me how to unlock where i do purchase unlocking codes?
reply
If you are on a contract with Verizon, you can ask them for unlock code,
Insert a sim card which it ain't accepting, enter the unlock code and its done.
Don't forget --- Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Network Mode -> GSM/UMTS
But I believe once unlocked, Verizon doesn't work on it.
It sounds like the SIM. Or try switching to CDMA. I think the Canadian carriers still have CDMA on their towers (used to a few years ago) and maybe that's the roaming the lady means.
Hi guys, i have just bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE i9305 it was advertised as unlocked and it is to a point but wont get a signal with my Three sim card. i have tried vodafone and EE sims and they work fine. i've re-entered the settings for Three in mobile networks settings but still nothing, just says emergency calls only. can anyone help?
Hi, I recently purchased a Samsung S5 Mini.
model # SM-G800F
Android version 4.4.2
I'd previously read that my sim would work fine according to this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/gds/Choosing-...-on-Three-3-Network-/10000000020620251/g.html
I've inserted the sim but it says 'network locked sim card inserted'
I've got a full signal with the phone and so the issue is definitely related to the sim.
I presume I have to unlock the phone?
Phone is locked to EE network in UK but it seems that my network Three (3) shares the same network and so, in theory, the sim should work??
Thanks for the flood of support. I ended up buying a code off ebay.
Hi,
I have been trying to get VoLTE working on my
SM-N9600 (bootloader unlocked Snapdragon version)
but I cannot seem to get past this error "Volte is not supported by this software version please contract customer services" I have manually changed out the CSC to my home country but I noticed in the CSC verifier it says unsupported items and list all the VOLTE items has anyone else experienced this?
Yes I am rooted already if required
You need to check if your Cell Provider provides support for VoLTE. As some Cell Networks do not offer that service. If they do, get them to check that it is activated on your SIM.
Got 2 sim cards from different providers
Telecom NZ (Spark NZ) the rep said they have manually activated it on my account
