Did you by any chance insert a us/canada sim on the device?

You should consider a lumia device for the full potential of windows phone ...

On proximus network lumia 620 for only one euro

That's very strange, I have a Lumia 920 and it works perfectly fine.
I live in Belgium as well

@badboy70 ( Nokia) drive Works Always on the 920 in Belgium. I have the ativ s and have to wait for the Belgische release

Feeling scamed and cheated...need an expert here

Hello XDA community. about 2 weeks ago i bought a samsung galaxy S. the store i bought the mobile from had a weird version of the samsung galaxy S , it had an android logo on the back instead of the google one. after telling the "store" that am not gonna buy this version and i want the European version , they asked me to come in an hour and the european version of the galaxy s will be here, so i did what they asked for and i came by after an hour and i found that they got me the European version with google logo on the back. i was happy , i doubled check that it's made by samsung in Korea, and i found it right under the battery. here is what i found out when i went home and starting exploring
1-Arabic user manual with the mobile and on the back of the mobile package ( box )
2- no android market ( Slide me application manger instead of the market "SAM")
3-Defult language is arabic ( found that out after doing a factory reset )
Conclusion: they just replaced the back cover of my mobile and put a European one... lol !
i suspected they would do that anyways and i actually knew they would do that , but as long as the mobile is made by samsung in Korea, the quality should be equal to that of the European version , also i don't have any kind of lags, the mobile is fine. i live in Egypt
i would like someone to help me flash an european frimware , ROM ,
or install apps that are not included on this version of my mobile. i feel very horrible after feeling that i can't get any app directly from the market , i did searches for days on google and after fighting with search results i finally installed the market on my mobile but i have only one problem , whenever i click install i get ( starting download ) and it gets stuck forever , i can't cancel as i get a crash error ( android.vending.apk stoped responding, ) and i force close it
here is the list of STOCk apps that came with the mobile , i hope someone could compare it to their version and tell me what am i missing
1-Aldiko Ebook
2-allshare
3-daily briefin
4-Gmail
5-Layar
6-Maps 7-layar , 8-SAM3.4 , Samsung apps , social hub, google talk , thinkfree office, youtube, calender,navigation, calculator,clock,voice dailler, memo, email , FM radio, write and go , taskmanger, mini diary ,voice recorder,Musicplayer, video player , sim toolkit
these are the apps i got with the mobile ( stock ) phone specs are
Roaming: Not roamed
Model Number: GT-I9000
frimware version: 2.1Update-1
Basband version : I9000JXJG2
kernal version: I9000 2.6.29
Build number: ECLAIR.JPjG8
i hope someone could help me Pimp my mobile as it is very boring , and i will be using this mobile for YEARS and i want it to be the best. btw i don't think i have 3 Botton recover enabled.Pressing Vol. Up + home+ power seems to do nothing but keep showing the ( galaxy S I9000 ) logo and it boots normally as soon as i let go.
the reason of me not installing frimwares or rooting / installing froyo Or doing ANY thing related to boot , as being afraid of Bricking mobile as the mobile hasn't been released YET officially here. so samsung technical support wouldn't do anything if i brick my phone and i don't own a Rjfbox to reflash it after bricking. :S
Thanks to every one who put time in reading this threat. iam really looking forward for someone with experience to reply or guide me.
Thanks every one , waiting for responses
sry for double posting btw
It does not look like you are really missing anything there, application wise. Just Market missing?
In the telephone dialler typ in the following where HH is the hour and mm is the minute on the clock in the status bar
*#272*HHmm#
It should show a screen with a three letter code, and potentially a long list of other codes. I am not entirely familiar with the use of this but my phone came from Portugal and had no voice search by default. I changed TPH to XEU which is supposed to be general European and my phone suddenly had the voice input.
BE AWARE that if you change the code and say INSTALL it will WIPE YOUR PHONE with no questions asked. And I really do not know anything else about changing this code. Mine used to be TPH but that is long gone as an option now.
first thank for the reply
2nd . i don't have XEU , or any thing that looks europian lol, shows codes like
EGY , JED , KSA, MAT, MED , MID , MMC , MWD , PAK, THR , WAN , XSG , Xss
Egy , sounds like Egypt
Jed sounds like Jeddah
Ksa is Saudia arabia ,
Mat is i don't know so for the others lol , i wonder what these codes there for ?
i think i need a flash for this mobile ?
BTW i read on some blog that i should have the market back when i select XSG.
the thing is...... i have the market lol but it gets stuck on Starting download . i don't think if i do the XSG thing the market would work but i will give it a shot and post the results

Markt Place issues

I bought a HD7 from London locked with O2. I used htcimieunlock and unlocked it.
Then i flew back to India and right now with the vodafone network. I can make calls and send text.
But when ever i go to the market place it says "feature not avialable for this region"
While i was in london had 02 card inserted and had tried to access market place and i had got the same message.
Am i a getting this because of a unlocked phone? Or there is genuinely problem with the region.
What do you guys suggest to get this fixed? As of now i cant use my pdf docs or any other softwares.
Also has anyone been able to find a file explorer in market place?
I have an unlocked phone and it's working fine, sounds like there's genuinely a problem with the Marketplace in India.
And there is no File Explorer app.
Thank you for replying.
Are you from london cause i will be there again in 3 days.
In settings is your region/location as United states or united kingdom?
Cause when i was in London last week it said, that i should change my location to US
Hi,
I'm from Birmingham, England's Second City, in the Midlands.
My Region is set to United Kingdom for all options. It shouldn't have said that when you were in London, I know I'm not actually from London but the chances of it varying through the UK are slim to non. The marketplace should work fine in the UK. Maybe there is something wrong with the software on your device?
If your live account is set to india then it will do that to you, no matter where you are in the world.
I'm using the hotmail id since last 5yrs plus. Now for a phone I'll have to change my identity..
I'll be in London on the 9th and I guess I'll findout then.
Has anyone been able to change to a different live id without resetting the device?
i bought my hd7 from london as well.works well in malaysia
Okay i am in London today and on the 3 network.
AND MY MARKET PLACE IS NOT WORKING.
My id is @hotmail.com and is not .in (india)
Wht do u think is going wrong here? Why does it still say not supported in your country/region.
The guy in malaysia....whats ur id...hotmail.com or something else..
While in London i made another live ID.
after making the ID i entered that ID in zune and wallah! i got connected to the market place and culd shop provided my phone had the same ID.
Since i am not game to change my 10year old ID, what i tried was i went to the optons of the newly made id. In the region there i changed it to United kingdon instead of united states which was by default.
I alt/tab to zune and then tried again and now mynew id which a while back could log in cannot log in to market place now.
I went again and made the changes to united states and guess what...IT STILL DOSENT LOG IN
S T A N G E
So i conclude that once u leave the region as united states then i guess you are doomed.
Wanted someone to check on this one
1: If anyone can go in their hotmail options and check their region there? People in UK is your region as united states or UK.
Would apreciate someone trying and letting me know this info
There are many people affected by this problem.u can search it at zune forum.at the moment marketplace only supports 2 place.eu and usa.so for people like us we need to create uk or usa region id to access the marketplace but we can only download trial and free apps.because we do not have usa or uk credit cards.hopefully microsoft will introduce buying apps using points like xbox console can do.and i believe side apps loading will be available.it is just a matter of time.

[Q] simple enquiry

I just wonder if this device works outside the us .. I am from the middle east in unsupported country
note:I don't need to purchase any thing I just need th basic services to work

Razer Phone 2 No LTE Connection

Hey guys , just received my RP2 today and out the box i put my nano SIM in but i have no LTE connection at all ... Here a picture of the issue :
I've tried the dial solution [*#*#4636#*#*] but it not workedd ... APN options same .... disable adblocker vpn same ....
I've check the band for LTE connection for where i am ( France ) and its seems to be okay but no LTE anyway ...
Someone have the same problem ? The razer phone 1 had a lot of issues too with network but i've deal with them during 1 year ( it was hard ) but if the razer phone 2 i've take for replacement of the rp1 is worst ,i think my journey with razer is gonna end here ... dont have time for more research on basic smartphones function ...
Location : France
Carrier : Orange ( Sosh )
Razer Phone 2
Sorry for my english .
What happens when you enter the *#*#4636#*#*?
does the settings pop up change the frequency?
Same problem here. It works on every Italian band (3,8,20) but sometimes (and it really depends on the tower, as the issue is geo-localized) it connects to the LTE network but it doesn't have connectivity (like you, the annoying X belove the signal).
This leads me to think that it is a carrier problem; nevertheless, so people that work for the carrier itself said that in Italy (and most likely across all Europe, so it applies to you as well) carriers have a list of well-known device manufacturer, LTE will work properly with them (as they are whitelisted) while won't work (correctly or at all) with "unknown" devices. You can easily tell that razer is not a "known" device for those carriers.
First of all, you need to disable VoLTE, both on the device and carrier side (if they have a whitelist for VoLTE as well, very likely). Then you can report us back. Maybe we can try to find a solution together.
Try manually inputting your APN settings
I've tried the hard reset , dial solution , VoltE , manual apn but the problem is still here ... Like u have said my device is labelled "unknow device " in my carrier portal , so maybe this is an unsolvable issue ? I need a working phone for my work so i ve send back the phone a few days ago and will replace him for a huawai mate 20 pro model . So i dont need anymore help for this now . Thanks for the help anyway and good luck for resolving this issue ^^ .
