can an unlocked phone be locked ?

hi i got a galaxy s3 a few days ago it was locked to ee then the phone got blocked by orange by mistake
its been sorted now if i put an orange sim in it it works but not my o2 ? any help plz

That's because its locked to EE, you can pay them to unlock it or go to certain sites on Ebay for a fix...

[Q] i9305N LTE not working

Hi there! I'm sorry if there already is such a thread but I couldn't find anything quite like this.
I bought this i9305N second hand and it had the famous IMEI problem 00/02. I went to a service center and there they were able to restore the IMEI of the device. And the phone was able to connect to the 3G as normal but not the 4G network. I've never seen the 4G working on this phone and have no idea what to try. What I tried was:
different modem firmwares.
flashed CM 10.1 and again tried those modems.
tried to set the phone to lte only via the *#197328640# code.
I think that in Sweden this phone is supposed to work on only the tele2 and telenor 4g network. I've tried sim cards from both operators.
Has anyone experienced something like this? Does anyone have an idea what is happening and what I can try?
Thanks in advance.

Does yr provider support 4G?yr sim card support 4G? If all above Yes then yr area doesn't support 4G or the coverage of 4G very poor till none.

my operator supports 4G. There is 4G coverage and I've tried cards from every carrier here on contract and prepaid.

Try a phone wipe and install the stock firmware for your network .

Note joke you would be surprised at the number of muppets on here who don't check the basics .
I would find your network providers latest firmware and flash either the firmware or the modem .

Just out of curiosity, have you tried cards confirmed to be on 4G-enabled contracts? I had to call Tele2 and ask them to change my contract over to a 4G one before I would receive 4G speeds. Another silly thing you could check is if the phone is actually connecting to the 4G APN, for Tele2 this would be 4g.tele2.se.

Hi! This is the thing! I havent found a card with confirmed 4G on it. I was told that sim cards on contract have 4G enabled on them. I was wondering if there is some sort of a tool to scan networks around and see information about them like what freq and speed etc... I am using my comviq card now in the phone with the apn that you mentioned and that was set automatically as the phone is with the tele2 firmware. The most brutal thing was when I went to the tele2 office and asked for a 4g activated sim to try on my phone and they said that they don't have any!!!! I went to the telenor shop and when I asked for a demo sim card with 4G so that I can test my phone and he gave me a 3G prepaid card. After 10 minutes of changing settings and stuff on my phone I asked him if that card has 4G on it at all he said - no, its just a 3G. I am going a bit of topic but my point is that it is extremely hard for me to find out where the problem is.

My point is how are you planning to use 4G on the phone if you do not have a 4G contract? I mean, why all the fuss if you cannot use it anyway?

I want to be sure that the phone works on 4G after the reparation before getting a 4G contract.

Find someone with a 4G contract and ask to test his SIM in your phone.

I had a friend enable lte on his contract and then tried the sim on my phone. LTE didn't kick in. I don't know what it could be. Any suggestions please?

Hi.
I live in the "kära grannlandet" Finland and i had to call my operator to put my i9305 as my active phone.
(They change the ownership of the phone on their computer)
I bought my phone 2hand but it was factory sealed new. operator locked to the same operator that i use.
The phone was "active" to somebody else without 4G so thats why it didnt work for me.
Hope this helped at all..
Lycka till!

My friend had similar issues with his S2, I went into the phone options menu using the #xx# number and the phone itself was not set to lte mode. I am sure you can find the menu codes somewhere on the forums as I don't have them memorized. It is worth checking if you have not done so.

[Q] Use In Europe?

Does anyone know if I can use this phone in Europe? I have it SIMUnlocked. And I got it off contract. Just wondering if I can use it on a European providers network when I head there this summer.
Thanks!

Thanks for the help.

Yes, works great here. Just make sure you put in the correct APN settings.

Using First in Italy without any trouble, 4g mode is available...

I use the HTC First in Germany with Vodafone and it works great. Also with 4G. Just check APN from your Provider and then lets go.
Have fun!

Dual sim issue still present?

Hi guys, just wanted to check if any of you are using this either in india or in the UK on o2?
Had the mi note (not pro - the sd801 version) and in most cases the dual sim worked but not with certain carriers in the UK,italy and india. Basically sim 2 would just not work - xiaomi advised it was a result of having only one imei. A lot of international carriers don't allow a single imei to be used by two different sim cards (whether the same carrier or different carrier) more reading here

Is this issue still present in the note pro?

Yes was on holiday no signal with o2 so bought P&G EE and when I was a good reception area could use both without issues that I was aware of.

I used India SIM in India with UAE SIM on roaming. Worked fine for me. Below is observation. Any questions?!
UAE SIM - 1
- Phone worked in roaming throughout - incoming calls & SMS
India AIRTEL SIM - 2
- Phone worked in roaming in another state
- Data 2g worked in roaming in another state - I subscribed only to 2g on first 2 days
- Phone worked in normal in native state
- Data (2g & 3g) worked in normal in native state - I subscribed to 3g after 2g was finished

[HELP] [E6533] Problem With SIM Slot 1

I've recently inserted the Reliance Jio 4G sim of my brother in the sim slot 1, and removed it after sometime, it was working well and I was getting reception and everything. After I removed it I inserted my BSNL sim in it and it simply showed 'No sim card' but the same sim is working in the sim slot 2. Any suggestions on how to make it work?

Try Any other sim card ( like airtel,idea,aircel etc.. )

I've tried Aircel, Idea and another reliance sim and i've also flashed it but nothing happened. I think it's a hard ware problem.

The sim reader pins are very very sensitive. I posted about this earlier and the tray / sim reader itself gets broken.
