Hello,
I have a Samsung S4 Active ( GT-I9295).
My problem is next: - If I am using mobile network, I can only reach 2G speed ( GSM 900 ).
Things I have already done:
- I changed my sim card from a 3G compatible to an LTE/4G compatible;
- I talked to my carrier provider ( Vodafone Romania ) to double check if there are some restrictions to my account ( none ).
- I checked my sim card to other phones and it's working just fine.
- I even reached to talk to a Samsung Service Support, them answer was to sent the phone to their service, but I can't because I don't have the warranty papers of it ( I bought the phone from a second hand dealer <my bad> and they didn't gave me it's original invoice and warranty ). So I'm afraid to send it to service because of that.
- I searched trough the forums about possible problems, and couldn't reach one exactly.
- I even used the SERVICE MODE MENU ( *#0011# -> Back -> Key Input = Q -> Key Input= 0000 ). No result just managed to resolve my VOC from FullRate to AdaptiveRate, now I have voice drop :silly: [ dumb ]. I changed bands to WCDMA900 - 1800 - 1900 - 2100. To LTE all, etc and my phone signal is 0 and it tells me when I try to make a call, not registred on network.
*900 MHz / GSM - 2G - GSM / GPRS / EDGE - Vodafone, Orange, Cosmote
*900 MHz / GSM - 3G - UMTS/HSPA (14.4 Mbps/5.76 Mbps) - Vodafone, Orange - still developing ( i guess is not ready for use )
*1800 MHz / GSM1800-DCS -2G - GSM / GPRS / EDGE - Cosmote, Vodafone, Orange
*2100 MHz / UMTS - 3G - UMTS / HSPA / HSPA + / DC-HSDPA (43.2 Mbps Mbps/5.76) - RDS-RCS, Vodafone, Orange, Cosmote, Zapp
*1800 MHz / LTE - 4G - LTE (2x2 MIMO 75 Mbps/37.5 Mbps) - Vodafone, Orange
- I used QPST for some time, then I realized I can only do more damage then good things, because I really don't understand the code.
NOTE: One friend of mine has same phone as me S4 Active GT-I9295
So if anyone on this forum could give me some hints I would be grateful.
Just let me know what more data/print screen from my phone would you want me to post.
Thanks,
and keep developing
Good job!!!

Could'nt find it with search, so here is my problem:
- i get free 20mb 3g-traffic each month free
- my phone connects not only with umts but also with GSM/GRPS
how do you disable the use of gsm for a data connection?
thx for an answer
*bump*
nobody got a clue?
You seem to be able to set it to UMTS only - I've just tried it.
Obviously if you lose the 3G / HSDPA signal, you won't get any calls / texts coming through as it won't automatically switch to GPRS.
Menu >> Settings >> Personal tab >> Phone >> Band tab >> Select your GSM / UMTS band (choose one that is your UMTS band only, not UMTS & GSM).
SV
hm...
that should suffice as a temporary solution. i do not want to get calls with my 3g-only rate anyway. even if i think that it's quite complicated to switch between my sim cards with all the extra settings.
so: thanks!!
ok i tried to do that but it didn't work
i only have 2 options:
UMTS(900+2100)+GSM(900+1800)
UMTS(850+1900)+GMS(850+1900)
GSM(900+1800) is common in germany. dunno the umts band :-/
I hope someone can help me or at least point me in the right direction.
Im in the Philippines and my g1 is unlocked/rooted with the latest cyanogen rom 4.2.6.
The network im connecting to is smart communications with according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_network_code has:
515 03 Smart Gold Smart Communications Inc Operational GSM 900 / 1800; UMTS 850 / 2100
our phones have Modes GSM 850 / GSM 900 / GSM 1800 / GSM 1900
WCDMA 1700 / WCDMA 2100
So i should be getting a 3g signal or something but im not, my phone is not even making an attempt to connect to 3g. I have checked the settings and i cant find where to enable 3g. Use only 2g network is not checked. my apn settings seems to be correct but its not even getting to the point where it tries to connect to 3g. I have no 3g symble or edge symbol. please help..
help someone pls
Good Day,
I purchased a network locked I9000 then used the SGS Unlock App in the Market to open my phone to any network provider.
The thing is, I cannot get 3G or HSDPA to work in my preferred network. I placed a prepaid sim from the Network I bought it from and 3G and HSDPA are working as designed.
Is there a possibility that the firmware I am using is still "locked" to some extent in terms of the frequency?
I have the correct APNs for both Network and I tried both sims to my old N97 and they both worked in terms of 3G signal.
BTW, I'm from the Philippines and I bought the phone from Globe Telecoms and my preferred network is Sun Cellular.
Here are the details of my SGS phone:
Model Number: GT-I9000
Firmware Version: 2.1-update1 (already updated it from KIES)
Baseband version: I9000DXJG4
Kernel Version: 2.6.29
[email protected] # 2
Build Number: ECLAIR.DXJG4
Other facts I can see in the settings (might be useful):
Signal Strength: -81 dBm 16 asu
Mobile network type: HSDPA
Service State: In Service
Mobile Network State: Disconnected
I'm thinking of re-flashing my phone to a different firmware but needed your inputs first. What firmware would work for me? Plus: would my phone get locked again to the original network if I re-flash it? Would the lock code change?
Note: here's some basic info about the two networks
Globe Telecoms
GSM 900MHz/1800 MHz
3G W-CDMS (UMTS)
3G Frequency 2100 MHz
Sun Cellular
GSM 1800 MHz
3.5G (HSDPA) 2100 MHz
Hoping someone can really help my dillema. I've been using Sun Cellular for 4 years now and I have no plans of changing networks even though their Customer Service stinks (no one can help me with this!)
Francis
P.S. I tried all the troubleshooting short of re-flashing. Multiple reboots, played around with the APNs, etc etc.
Also, my phone is rooted. Not sure you need that info but just in case
I forgot to add one last thing..
Yeah, I almost forgot. I can use my phone with my preferred network (Sun Cellular), to make & receive call and also SMS. It's the Internet Access that is giving me sleepless nights. I also called my network provider and I do have all the proper access in fact, I was able to surf using the same sim in my N97.
Additional Settings of my Phone (using *#0011#)
UMTS: HOME(CS)
RRC State: IDLE
WCDMA 2100 Band 1
Reg PLMN 515-5, IsPCS?0
FREQ DL: 10638
FREQ UL: 9688
Hi,
I have a huawei ideos (older non X6 version) and supposedly it is unlocked. It works with 2g/edge. It does not work with 3g. I have looked for APN information and the info downloaded to the phone when I connected to network is identical to what is listed on the net.
tmobile docs url not allowed
i had to add the MMSC setting since it was not there as listed in step 12.
Things which are odd. When choosing access network, it does not say T-mobile 3G. It only says T-mobile 2g, Att 2g and Att 3g. According to the net this phone supports the frequencies for tmobile.
gsm link for u8150 not allowed.
shows HSDPA 900 / 2100 / AWS
HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 / 1700
And
wikipedia entry for tmobile not allowed
shows
1700 MHz/2100 MHz UMTS (W-CDMA)/HSPA 4G (formerly 3G[31]) 2006 2008 (3G), 2010 (Marketed as 4G) First carrier in the U.S. to deploy services on AWS frequencies. Markets HSPA+ as "4G". UMTS band IV
Not sure if HSPDA spec is same as HSPA though.
I did the trick where you enter #*#*4636*#*#* and checked phone settings. I changed to GSM auto (PRL). I also tried to hit menu and select radio band, but it pulls up an empty "Set GSM/UMTS Band" dialog. There is nothing to select.
I guess my question is, does this phone support 3G for t-mobile and if so, what setting am I missing?
thanks in advance.
John
Wrong phone forum this is likely to get frozen.

EXPECT THE RESOLVE IN FUTURE UPDATES
* STEPS TO FOLLOW :
1- ENTERING APN settings Mobile
APN 2- ENTERING YOUR OPERATOR FOR EXAMPLE THE MINE WAS CLARO EL SALVADOR
3- USE IN THE APN APN: BA.AMX
4 IN THE TYPE OF WRITE DEFAULT APN
5- TYPE OF CARRIER IN THE FOLLOWING SELECTED
WAY :
GPRS / HSDPA / HSPA / UMTS / HSUPA / HSPAP / EDGE

i don't understand how to do it

thx i will try it and feed you back
i hope that works as i tried every thing from sim unlock using NV to de-branding but nothing works
Hi I seem to encounter the same situation, cannot get data for sim unlocked GSM for Sprint HTC10...here's some background info. I have 2 HTC10 purchased about 1 year ago (Phone A & B). At time of purchase I performed the NV sim unlock and verified data (freedompop att) on both.
Phone A (BL unlocked/s-on/factory recovery) is on stock Sprint ROM and GSM data works perfectly by adding the custom APN settings. On latest build.
Phone B (BL unlocked/s-on/twrp) is main phone was shorty twrp when purchased, ran BadBoyz rom for about a year on Sprint. Recently added FP sim back in & it would "show" to HSPA via signalchecker but mobile data could NEVER connected (even w/apn settings). Same SIM would work on Phone A. Had Sprint push out sim unlock just to be safe which was done successfully, same issue. So i thought maybe something screw up and RUU back to latest and still had same problem. Factory & network resets didn't fix either.
Been reading on the forums and seems like other people have the same issue, the only solution that I've seen mention was to flash a custom rom (non-Sprint?). Anyways after flashing Leedroid, it did finally worked, had mobile data attached via apn.
Anyways any ideas from anyone why mobile data GSM will not work/attach on some sim unlocked phones? I believe I returned Phone B back to factory but it behaves differently from Phone A.
