[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

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] No data on Telus with my Optimus 2X

Hi,
I bought an unlocked O2X in Hong Kong, and brought it back to Canada.
The wifi and voice work perfectly, but it doesn't seem to find a data connection... what can I do ?
I have the latest out-of the box software :

You've bought a phone that isn't compatible with the Telus network.
It will only run on it's 2G frequencies, and Telus don't support 2G data (from what I can tell).

From what I've read, the O2X is compatible with HSDPA 1900, which Telus carries...

Yes the O2X does support UMTS 1900, but I don't think it's that simple unfortunately.
You might find that they don't use 1900 in your area, and you need 850 (as this is usually more popular), how you can find out I don't know. If you look at your signal type, I suspect it will be GSM

Right now it's saying GPRS... I'm in Montreal, which should mostly be using 1900 frequency, as it is the better one for cities...

Did you set up Telus APN?

Depends how you define better, I would have said 850 is better due to penetration.

Yes, I tried using the info provided by Telus :
APN: sp.telus.com
Proxy server: 74.49.0.18
Port: 80
but it doesn't seem to work...

I'd recommend you phone Telus and explain the problem to them.
I know on previous phones I've owned (non Android) I've been sent a text with settings in from my carrier. They might be able to do something similar, or at least point you in the right direction.
Have you used that SIM before or is it a new one?

It's the SIM I used on my Motorola Milestone before.
I called them, and they just told me to remove the battery and put it back on, in order to push new info in the phone... and reminded me that they don't guarantee data access with unlocked phones, which sucks.

Could it be a baseband issue ? I have 0405 now...

I found on the Telus site (can't link because I'm a new member)
they say:
Check device compatibility:
Your device must be compatible with our 4G network. If you have a non TELUS device that uses HSPA technology, it should be compatible with our mobile network. Check your device's compatibility.
Lock Status:
Your non TELUS device needs to be unlocked to work on the TELUS network. What does this mean?

Further advice is to take it into store and ask if they can unlock it. I'm assuming that's the problem, as your connection details posted earlier are correct.

The phone is unlocked (bought it that way). I had a second (very long) service call with them, during which we tried a lot of things, but without luck.
I also tried to change basebands, 0502 broke my cellphone connection altogether and 0218 works as 0405 did.

We already know what the problem is. You have a 2G signal and Telus doesn't support 2G data.

Networkinfo widget tells me I have an UMTS signal...

[Q] Flashing different modem

Hi guys just a quick question.
​I have a Telstra SGT from Australia and I'm currently travelling around the US and want to buy a T mobile sim to use the 4g network while I'm here. I would like to flash the T Mobile modem during the overcome flashing process but I'm just wondering if this is possible or if it will cause any problems for my tab?

You will only get 2g/EDGE at best. The tab is only a 3g radio. Your tab won't be able to get 3g though because your tab is not comatible with t-mobile 1700/2100 bands.
You can buy an at&t sim and get 3g and voice.

Thanks so much for your help rangercaptain. I was unsure about the tab's bands and was hoping it was the same as the T Mobile ones. Oh well, I guess I'll just stick with AT&T. Thanks again for your kind assistance!

No HSPA data only Edge?

I'm not sure if I jumped the gun on my purchase before knowing 100% this phone would work in my region on my network. I have AT&T in the US. I bought an international GT-i9305 Unbranded, unlocked phone. I found out first that the SIM cards are not the same size. I bought a cutter and cut down my larger SIM from my SGS2 and put it in the SGS3.
The SGS3 came with:
Android 4.1.1,
BB I9305ZHALI2,
Kernel 3.0.31-399890,
Build numberJRo03C.I9305ZHBLJ1
I backed up the IMEI, rooted it and installed CWM (though every time I reboot there is no CWM anymore) Ive been using mobile Odin to flash I9305_CWM_Recovery.tar which gets me into CWM just fine and I can flash other modems, Roms etc. I also use Triangle Away to remove flash counter.
My main question is, Everything seems to work fine, but I get NO HSPA data connection? I only get Edge, and its very slow at best. I didnt realize this at first because I was on my wifi network. Is there a fix for this? Or is it because of the version of phone I have that it won't work on AT&T USA network?

Try this. Go to setting > more settings > access point names > press menu key > reset to default, go back into mobile network settings and make sure network mode is set to GSM/WCDMA (auto mode). Reboot and see what happens.
I have a 9300, was on AT&T until recently and had H+ all the time.

Thanks I have done that. I've also searched the SGS3 Apn settings on the net. No matter what Apn, always the same result.

I believe you are in trouble with this one:
HSPA @ AT&T
"We currently use frequencies in the 1900 MHz and 850 MHz ranges...."
while i9305 operates on 850/900/2100 Mhz.
It's because differences in 2G,3G,4G in all your carries you have so many versions of one model of device

So I assume then, this is a hardware problem not something I can change by flashing a different modem?

Yes international gt-i9300 manufacture unlocked, UK.

So does the gt-I9305 not have 1900mhz? I spent close to an hour on the phone with AT&T trying to see if it would work. They could see the phone, looked up the IMEI and activated a different SIM for me as I cut mine down from my sgs2. Always Edge data and nothing more. All the descriptions I've found online show the same frequencies as my sgs2. Are there different 9305's out there?
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium

I feel special that I am the only person in the USA that has bought an i9305.:good:

I am pretty sure the I9305 has these frequencies
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
4G Network LTE 850/1800/2600
This is what the specs have always shown. for the one in australia but all i9305 should be the same unless they are i9305t or i9305N
I looked up what australia uses and it does show the 1900 scroll down on this link
http://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/mobile_phone_frequencies
shows this:
3G Hi-band 1900-2100Mhz
The 3G Hi-band 1900-2100Mhz is used by Optus, Telstra and VHA.
Tower Rx /Tower Tx
1920 – 1980Mhz (tower Rx), 2110 – 2170Mhz (tower Tx) using multiple paired 5Mhz and 10Mhz channels
** to be completed **
But you are the first person i know in the US who has bought it purely because you wont be able to have the LTE function.

gsmarena says sth diffrent:
HSDPA 850 / 900 / 2100
maybe for Australia is another model but it at least should have diffrent name

But I have seen more sites saying that it does support 1900 more then sites that say dont, I did a quick search on google and the 1st List of search pages when I type I9305 Frequencies I see that Only gsmarena dont display the 1900 All other sites say 1900 Maybe GSM arena is wrong.
Only the I9305T maybe is different but we also have the I9305 and hardware should be the same.
Only difference from country to country is the Modem SOftware

it's pretty reliable source, but I'd say it's 50/50 (50% says it does and 50% it doesn't)
how about samsung:
http://www.samsung.com/ae/support/model/GT-I9305TADXST-techspecs ??
and if it'd have 1900 then shouldn't it work for highaltitude ?

Well I spent alot of today with AT&T both on the phone and in store. Their system will see the SIm card and that there is a phone, but it will say Unknown Phone. They tried to switch me to a 4G/LTE data plan to see if then 3G/HSPA etc would work but it kept getting stopped because it said my IMEI number is not right or unrecognized. No matter what, their system would not take the IMEI number. I finally got a tech on the phone to put in a correct IMEI that AT&T would recognize, however it still said Unknown phone and still therefore would not let him switch the data plan. I am still at a loss because I swear the specs Ive read are pretty much the same as my SGS2 for frequencies (other than /4GLTE etc) So after one week of having a cool new phone that is stuck with Edge data, I am going to have to get rid of it and go back to the SGS2. Sux, as I really like the new phone.

you are not alone.I bought a Gt-i9305 that came from france/orange before doing my homework.i am on t-mobile and a very slow 2g speed maybe i will sell mine also and get an us sg3.

Yup, got mine for sale on ebay right now.

Will VZW version work on AT&T?

Just wondering if the VZW variant will work on AT&T, I know it works on T-Mobile but not sure about AT&T.

Yes, I bought a new one yesterday and just popped in my at&t based net 10 card switched to global and put in the apn.

Big question is will LTE work?

Me thinks no

I'm on AT&T with my VS980, but HSPA+ is what you will get (I understand there is some very small areas where you may get LTE). That said, I am ok with the speeds on my device, no problem for me with browsing, email, forums, mms, youtube etc...

AT&T LTE is different band
The VZW LTE band is (block C, band 13) which I believe is 746-787MHz. The AT&T band is band 5 (I think it's 850MHz range). I think it's more complicated since not all bands for AT&T cover the continental US - refer to this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_frequencies for more exact info. I am guessing that the radio hardware in the phone can probably handle all the bands (just assuming the SOC's etc. are designed to cover all current LTE bands) but probably radio drivers and possibly antenna designs need to set the proper bands for the carriers network. So my take is while theoretically it *could* work it probably won't work due to software configuration issues that would need to be addressed at the driver level.

There is a thread in the qa section that has some good detail "Working AT&T LTE for Verizon G2"

It will work because I popped in a straight talk/ ATT Sim into a VS980 just the other day. I configured the APN and was able to send/receive texts, make calls and browse the internet. I pulled about 7mpbs according to speedtest.

OK ? I have a Verizon lg g2 with at&t and I can not for the life of me get data how do I get data maybe I need a correct APN my phone only shows bars no h no 4g no nothing any help I would be appreciated thanx
