So my cappy is running on T-Mobile. Its unlocked and on hellybean 4.2.2 . my phone works and SMS/MMS work. Data is not working however. I have to use WiFi. So here goes. I broke my note2 and decided until i get the $175 for insurance to replace it I'd use my cappy. So i pull the sim from the note2 and notice oh thats a micro sim. The Cappy takes the regular
Sim card.
I take my old sim card from straight talk and with a xacto knife and cut out a hole the shape of the micro sim. This it of course after about 20 minutes of studying the edges of each to make sure they are all lined up properly. Put the micro in the hole and slap a piece of tape on the back and insert it. Turn on the phone voila it reads T-Mobile.
The two problems I seem to be having are occasionally I get a notice that the network is unavailable and it'll last a few minutes then go away on its own then its good until next time. Usually 2 or 3 times a day. The other is not data connection. Anyone have any ideas?
OK so data works its just edge so really slow.

Do an xda search or a google search on APNs. Sounds like your missing one for data.

Compare the Captivate's frequency capabilities to that of T-mobile network frequencies and u will understand that Edge is what ur gonna get...unless u happen to be in an area that t-mobile has reworked there edge freq. to be 3g. --- but it sounds like u r not.

Just wondering if it was the APN that was already there or not. Itsbthebepc.tmobile.com one. My note ran on fast.tmoile.com wondering if trying different apns would give different results. I mean .19mbps download is just wow.

I also have a captivate on T-Mobile. My APN settings are:
Epc.t-mobile.com
MMSC: mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
APN Type: default,supl,mms
Every other setting is default or blank.
Your second option would be to flash a new modem in hopes that gives u better signal or 3G. I believe CM10 comes with an I9000 modem that is not the best... Try flashing kk4, its the newest and most common modem.
Hope that helps

I believe there is also but the only thing that the thread doesn't explain is how to flash radios and its something I've never been able to find clear instructions on and when asked I always get referred back to that sticky on.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda app-developers app
I know what you mean. I have intermittent luck with radios. There are two ways to get a radio flashed. One is using Odin and the other is with CWM just like installing a ROM. So my advice is to pick a radio and first try it with CWM installing from zip. If that doesn't work use Odin. Take the .bin file and install it the same way you would a kernel but under the modem field.
If you reboot and have no signal you either did it wrong or that modem is incompatible, so just find a different one, rinse and repeat.
Hope that helps

I found a post in the modems sticky about midway through that explained the same. First modem I flashed was a major improvement. I'm now getting 2.36mbps download speeds vs 0.16mbps before the new modem. Its ugjk4 for cm7/ICS. Gonna check the sound quality and if its good I'm gonna leave it.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda app-developers app
Must've just been a bad radio for my area and phone to use with T-Mobile. I now get a 3g signal. Best speed so far was 4.76mbps. Blazing fast compared to what it was. Xda never ceases to amaze me with its members support and knowledge.

hey guys
been trying to get 3G to work, but everytime i go into the bank selection, and pressing on the 850mhz band, it says "menu not exsist" so i cannot enable 3G
anyone know wtf is going on here and how i can make 3G work?
thanks
EDIT: it worked fine up until i flashed 2.3.3, then flashed back to darky now i cant
Is the phone actually the 850 or 900mhz version?
If it's the 850 then check to see if you have a compatible modem. May just need to flash one to fix it.
Also check if your apn settings are correct just in case.

These are some of the things I would try in your situation:
-Restore cwm backup of rom that had working 3g (I assume you would have done that already if you had one).
-restore to factory settings.
-flash a fresh / compatible stock rom just to see if it comes back. Then re-flash darkys.
I doubt there is a problem with the phone itself. Just some software mismatch somewhere.

I just flashed the stock telstra ROM back onto the phone, and still getting 2g, and 3g is there but not going to work...
my other phone is working on 3g fine though so its not telstra
( talking about NextG here to, same thing really )
EDIT: now it says its running on the 850 band under band selection, its the only one ticked. but its still E which is 2g
under service mode, its running GSM900, ****ty 2G
would it be because my phone only has 10% battery?
Well I hope for your sake low battery is the problem.

i dont think your supposed to flash roms with low battery but lol
Got another idea. Since you have 'E' showing then you must have correct apn details.
So now go to mobile network settings and select only wcdma in network mode. That is 3g only. Take it off auto.
Could just be that 3g there but its defaulting to 2g due to low reception.

stupid thing says "menu not exsist" when i go into the band selection

There was this walkthrough thing I saw on here ages ago, about changing the product code the manual way, But can't find it.
It had something to do with using adb to copy over something in the efs folder, can't remember
Do you know what I'm talking about?
Is it possible that when they replaced the PCB in my phone, they did not put a 850 enabled version in there? Cause nothing I do is working.....
Yep, I know what you are talking about but I use another method.
In dialler type *#272*imei# with imei being your imei number of course.
It will show you the available product codes. Just remember that once you change it the phone will automatically reboot and do a factory reset.
Not sure however if this will help with your problem.
Was 3g working after you got it back from warranty?

Yeah I tried that way but it did not work.
And I'm 99% sure it was.
They replaced it with a regular one, I put my Optus sim in there, and 3G works. So they replaced it with a Regular 900MHz version, not a NextG version
You have got to be ****ing joking....
Oohh! That hurts man! I'd be pretty pissed too. If it shows as 900 then they fu**ed up.
I'd be going to see them Asap. Problem is you'll be without a phone again until fixed.

Wife and I just bought a Motorola droid bionic, Been reading that it is possible to put on the h20 wireless network. I have been messing with the phone all day. I finally got pass the setup at the start, First I was getting "this sim is from an unknown source" error, I bypassed that now I am trying to determine if I am able to take it to h20 wireless or not. I don't want to forced to pay the $80 a month w/verizon.
Phone is Verizon Droid Bionic,
I have the h20 sim, but i get the above error.
I have found a way to bypass the setup as mentioned above, I forgot to mention i have a "no Sim" error now" Would this be because of H20?
Trying to solve this A.S.A.P my pageplus plan expires 2mrw, then i will have no phone.
Any ideas?:angel:

I'm on page 12, I am very confused on where to even start for 1. I know its not as simple as popping the sim card in and it working. Good thing is i have both an h20 wireless sim and at&t sim so i can go to either. But i prefer h20 so i can return the AT&T phone.
Would it be too much to ask for some step by step help with this process? My wife wants to return this phone and get another one, But were both disabled and can't afford to put any more $ out so i've been reading 4 the last 2hours.
Thanks in advance.
In my opinion not enough is known yet for the bionic to be a reliable gsm phone. When I had mine on AT&T it got a weak signal. My friend is on AT&T and a lot of times he would have a good signal and I wouldn't have one at all, and like I said earlier different bionics seem to have different results. I read in that forum that on person had like 1 out of 3 that the mod worked on. If I were you I would sell the bionics and buy at&t phones. But that's only my opinion.

Update
Ok, so I was playing with the sim card.1. this is my first phone ever with a needed sim card. So i was playing with it thinking i might have put it in backwards or something.
so my guess i did, no i am no longer getting a grey ANT with red circle, i am getting no signal and when i attempt to make call i get the following error " outgoing calls are restricted by FDN".. In my mind this is progress to me.
But what is my next step?:good:

This is to fix Mms message on metropcs flashed sprint galaxy s 4 your phone most already be flashed to metropcs with working internet, Flash the zip in recovery and reboot, mms messages should work from first boot. This will last thru a factory reset.
Edit: I was ask to add some details as to wat the zips doing and wat I do. I edit the mms-config.xml in the stock Mms.apk/SecMms.apk to settings from verizon which work for metropcs, I also use an apns-conf.xml that I edited for metropcs. the zip will mount data and mount system, it will delete Mms.apk/SecMms.apk and Mms.odex/SecMms.odex, it will delete dalvik-cache for Mms.apk/SecMms.apk, it will delete the telephony.db file in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/ which countains apns. it will replace Mms.apk/SecMms.apk with the one I edited for metropcs it also replaces the apns-conf.xml in /system/etc/ which countains the default apns for the one I edited for metropcs (on first boot the phone will create a new telephony.db with the default apns countained in this apns-conf.xml, that is why this fix lasts thru a datawipe/factory reset). For more details take a look at the updater-script.
for the 4.3 script, flash the zip - reboot to system. Then open dialer and dial ##3282# hit edit enter spc then go to more then lte apn settings and click the circle on the right of the global roaming apn to activate it then hit home and all should be good
if you have issue where messaging app has default android icon use root explorer go to /system/app long press on SecMms.apk select move hit back hit back again go to /sdcard and paste SecMms.apk on sdcard, it should now show the up on sdcard with normal icon long press on SecMms.apk select move hit back go to /system/app and paste SecMms.apk back in /system/app and reboot phone should now show normal messaging icon
I am not responseable for anything that happens

Hang on...I must clarify. As much as I love to profit off of Metro flashes, we need to get the facts straight.
Flashed phones to Metro will not work nationwide. Boost will. Metro has better talk & text in their coverage area, but their data can either be equal to or slightly slower then Boost (depends what time of the day you're on the network). We also JUST got 3g here in the Tampa Bay area, and we're a huge market, go figure.

ive had very good luck though if i may say so myself. i have traveled to florida new york san francisco and alabama and gotten very good coverage on my flashed s3 from verizon and im suing the 3033 prl in atlanta. its faster than i could have hoped for. i have heard though before that flashed phones do not work well outside of the state theyre flashed in but aside form that metro itself has bigger coverage than boost and sprint. and now they are merging with t-mobile although im still not sure how thats working out because theyre rolling out city by city certain thing such as hartford dallas baltimore and i think boston.

interesting. almost a year ago we had 3g coverage over here in saint pete, i had to use a special prl on my step brothers admire 3g to get it to load up right though.
now a days its all lte anyways so no one uses 3g
Then you would have been the first. I've been flashing in this area for over 2 years at least, and none of my fellow flashers in the area got 3g besides 1 tower near University Mall.
Can you tell us about this special prl?

Hey guys,
I work at Sprint and my technicians and myself cannot figure this out. So I thought I would reach out to you guys!
I had 4G flawlessly on my phone for the first few weeks I had it. One day I got a SIM error that read something like this, "No SIM Card: 4G LTE will not work as SIM/UICC is reinserted". I popped out the little SIM card, wiped it off, and the phone read it and the error went away. Since then I have not had a single connection to 4G LTE.
All of our demo phones are on 4G lte as well as my girlfriends phone at home. I am constantly in 3G or 1X. Any advice would be great
Things I have already tried....
1. Updated profile/prl
2. Reprovisioned phone using ##72786#
3. Toggled settings using *#*#4636#*#*
4. Wiped and installed a new ROM
5. Played around with SIM card slot and rebooting phone
I am going to try a new UICC sim if we have one around the store...if that doesn't work im out of ideas!
I have no suggestions, but I have had the same exact problem the past couple of weeks. I got the error, but I didn't even pop the SIM card out. I just put the phone in airplane mode like I usually did when I got the error. When I took it out of airplane mode, my 4g was gone and it has not come back. I have checked all settings and I can't come up with anything. I also RUU'd back to stock just to make sure. Still no sign of 4g.
Let me know if replacing your sim does the trick, because this has been driving me crazy.
By the way, I know it is the phone and not just sprint messing with the towers or something, because my wife's evo 4g lte is on 4g all the time.

Im not getting the "no sim" error anymore. I never got it again after the first time I popped it in and out. Im just getting no 4G after fixing it.

The phone is rooted. I don't think there are any other radios out for this device yet though. Thanks for your reply though
I'm a Sprint Tech and do not have an answer currently for you guys as I have been receiving this error as well and only just found this thread. Will try to research tomorrow and see if I can find an answer. I only received this message once as of yesterday and it went away seconds later. Tonight it reappeared and is sticking. Under app info it shows this is the Phone app that is sending out this notification. There is a possibility if you force close the app and then disable notifications for it that this error may go away; however, I'm not sure what other notifications we would consequently loose. Current corporate PRL is 55015 and I am running Viper 1.0.3 with stock kernel. I am wondering if this has to do with refreshing your PRL because I did not notice it until I requested it from Updates two days ago even though the actual PRL version number did not change.

What about running a RUU

If ur rooted use this

Already ran RUU. No dice. Took it to a Sprint store and they replaced the SIM card. Still no dice. I'm starting to think it's the radio itself.

Damn. We seriously dont have radio img's yet? I thought the RUU flashes the radio.

I doubt it will work but let us know if it works for you. A brand new SIM didn't work for me so I'm not too hopeful about it.

yea that sh!t didnt work at all. this seems really stupid to me that our phone is having this issue what could be causing this why would the sim card mess it up?
Ok so the consensus is, this seems really stupid too but its the only thing I can figure, the SIM is loose. If you eject your HTC One Micro Sim and place a small piece of scotch tape on the reverse side of the connector, this gives the card just enough volume, when reinserted to consistently maintain contact with the reader as the SIM tray is simply too big and is allowing the phone to believe there is actually no SIM card inserted when the connection is detected as broken. Suppose this also explains the inconsistencies in various user experiences since we all have different handling habits. Any one else want to wager to guess why this problem is so intermittent?

my friend who works at bb hooked me up with another sim. im taking it to sprint tomorrow and see if they can do anything. my friend said he could swap for a new htc one as well. i would have to pay 30 bones though.
How many times can one return a phone for replacement for the same issue? At some point can I request a different device? I'm on my second "one" and it has the same connectivity issues my first one had. Can I at some point ask for a different phone.

You sure its the phone and not issues with the network ? Where I work, we only allow a total of 3 (original, swap, and another swap)

It's already been replaced once. Where I live I have pretty good service, but there are times when I drop my connection while I have a good connection. What happens after the third replacement?

You haven't described the type of issue that you're having. Remember, the bars only indicate voice signal strength.

3 swaps within 1 year. This would be through Asurion. At the Sprint store they will swap it 3 times before offering you a comparable model. If you want to keep the same phone then they can swap it as many times, in store, as you would like.

I can be using various apps like poker F.B or even the browser. Take the internet for instance. I can be using it and at any time it will loose connection. Same with playing poker. While I usually get connected within a minute, it's still annoying. I can't tell that I have good connection cause when it is on it loads pages fairly quick.

I get that a lot on my Note 2. Usually its the phone switching back and forth from ehrpd to 1xrtt. Either your towers are being worked on or are over capacity like mine.. Worst data experience ever. After 10yrs I might bite the bullet and switch carriers, can't take it any longer..

Until your area is complete or a Radio update is released your phone will continue to act like this..Only way I could make mine stable was to run it in CDMA mode only and completely ignore 4G until more towers fill the gaps.

I get the same issue and have come to find a workaround that fixes it. This only works for 3G, but if you switch your network settings from LTE/CDMA to CDMA only you won't have any issues. I never get the issues that you explain while on 4G, but I constantly get them on 3G. Get that fix a try and let me know if it works :good:
Go into settings them power and turn off data sleep.

Call sprint. Have them verify your SIM ID and UICC ID under settings/about/Phone Identity. Make sure they have the same number on your account as the phone. They may argue with you that the number doesn't matter accept for International but make them check anyways. If you have 4G in your area it will matter.....or even if its just Network Vision. Just keep pressing them to verify. If they are different have them connect you to activation's and have them fix it.
