Can't get my Tmobile sim to work in my Tmobile Streak 7, need help!

Just purchased a used Tmobile dell streak 7. It is stock and has been reset to all factory settings. The wifi works and everything looks to be ok. I got a tmobile sim card with a 2gig mobile broad band data plan. I know the sim is good and activiated because it works just fine in my buddy's stock tmobile g slate. When I insert it in the streak it recognizes the sim card and restarts but I cant use the interent via the sim. I went through the settings like the user manual says and turned off the wifi, I searched for networks and selected "Tmobile", then it says "registered on network" but no 4g/3g icon show up in the right corner. I just get the wireless bars with an x? I am new to tablets so maybe there is something that I am missing? I need to figure this out today because the guy I purchased it from gave me 24 hrs to try to get it working or I could just get my money back. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Jared

anyone? Im running out of time here... I tried my at&t sim out of my iphone and it instantly wanted a "special code" which was expected. Could somebody have tried to enter a code too many times while using a tmobile sim card and somehow locked out the tmobile capability?

You need to call T-Mobile customer service, or go into a T-Mobile store, and have them activate the SIM card for the tablet. They have to be tied together.
EDIT: Activate it for THAT specific tablet.

is that true for all tmobile tablets because the sim works fine in a tmobile g slate and the card was not tied to that tablet in any way, but I will try

It just occurred to me that the wireless bars with an x over it could also means that someone has removed or renamed the phone.apk & telephony.apk. I don't have a t-mobile DS 7 so I cannot be certain of this, but you can check it out for yourself. Use a file manager program and go to the directory /system/app and look to see if phone.apk and telephony.apk has been renamed or removed. I have the DS7 wifi edition, and I removed these 2 app so that the DS7 does not drain the battery. My DS7 has the wireless bars with an x over it because I have removed those 2 app.

If ya need those files let me know and ill put em up..im stock t-mo rooted...
just got my streak and ill be around now

SIM Unlock Code Screen Missing

Hi All,
I apologize in advance if that has been posted and responded to, but my searches have been unfruitful. My boss has the Motorola Droid 3, stock rom, NOT rooted on the Verizon network (in NYC). He will be traveling abroad to the mid-east and contacted VZW Global Services and they provided him with the SIM Unlock code.
I then proceeded to insert my AT&T SIM card into his phone and booted it up - in anticipation of the SIM Unlock Code screen so that when he gets to his destination country, all he'll have to do is insert the SIM card which he will purchase there.
Unfortunately, no such screen appeared. I was able to access the phone's other functions and was even able to go into Settings>Wireless Settings and switched the device to GSM/UMTS only (from the default 'Global' setting). Still, nothing occurred. I then forced it to search for a network (even though automatically connect was checked) and believe it or not, midway through its search, the phone completely rebooted on its own. I thought that maybe NOW, when the phone finishes loading, that it will ask me for the SIM Unlock Code. Well, it didn't. The phone just booted up normally and indicated that there was no service (bars with the red circle and slash through it).
We called Global Services back and they claimed that we will not see a SIM Unlock code for any US-Domestic carrier SIM cards (sounds fishy to me) and the SIM Unlock Code screen will appear ONLY when a Foreign/Non-US Carrier SIM Card is placed in the phone. My suspicion is that the Global Services rep doesn't know the difference b/t his a** and his elbow and was just saying anything that seemed plausible to get me off the phone. It would be VERY BAD if my boss travels to his destination and operates on the assumption that this will work once he inserts a foreign SIM card and for it not to work at all.
Any thoughts/insights into this would be VERY much appreciated and if this topic was already discussed on another thread, I would very much appreciate the link to that thread.
I have seen similar topics on other phone model threads, but none of the instructions in each of those respective threads had a solution that seemed applicable to this specific problem.
Many MANY thanks in advance!

You should most certainly see an unlock screen with a US based sim card. I used an old deactivated T-Mobile Sim card to get my unlock code prompt. try going to the phone dialer and enter *#*#4636#*#* - give it a sec and a menu will come up. In the menu scroll down a bit and you'll see a network selection bar. Tap the bar and select GSM Auto (PRL). You should immediately get a popup or perhapse after you back out of it. If not, scan for networks again. If it still gives you problems - PM me and we'll get it figured out.

network SIM unlock screen missing for T-Mobile US
Folks,
I am experiencing a similar issue as the original poster. No matter what I do, I can not get the Droid global (stock rom, v2.3.3) to attach to the T-Mobile network. If I follow the instructions"
*#*#4636#*#* - give it a sec and a menu will come up. In the menu scroll down a bit and you'll see a network selection bar. Tap the bar and select GSM Auto (PRL) ".
I see the screen momentarily flash the t-mobile network, then switch back to indicating that the network type is CMDA-1xrtt. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
BTW this sim works fine in a BB Bold 9000. Also it is just a simple voice/messaging sim - no data plan.
Never mind - after more research, seems I have a phone with the US carriers locked out. - off to see if I can update it

You need to use a foreign Sim card, not an American one because Verizon disabled access to all other American gsm networks

I was to access the screen you mentioned however I was unable to get it to ask for my unlock code, any ideas?

I had the same issue. The unlock code was already put in. Though this may be, there is more you need to do to have it working on US carriers like AT&T.
The guide is here

I c, U have to use Non-US SIM CARD. otherwise U have to unlock the US radio first. but if U having trouble to pop the SIM Network Unlock Code screen, just put non-US SIM and set the mobile network from global to gsm/umts. these also apply to those whose troubled with subsidy lock, so they can input the code.

Worked for me with tmobile or att sim card in the phone. You have to backup rename the build.prop file in the system(Rename the old build.prop to build.bak) put the new build.prob file in the system, restart the phone and wa-la, it will ask you for an unlock code. Enter it give it 15 or so sec reboot the phone, select GSM/UMTS and wait 30sec to 2mins you will receive a signal.

How did you get the SIM unlocked in the first place?

This is probably because T-mob covers only particular places the frequencies this phone uses http://theunlockr.com/2013/07/05/htc-one-sprint-specs/ vs t-mob https://t-mobile.jive-mobile.com/#jive-document?content=/api/core/v2/documents/4988

Is there any solution for this problem ?
Is there anything I can do to fix this problem ? (different rom or radio...etc..) Or I have to give up the phone... Cause it is too much headache to "searching for network" all the time and miss all the call with no service on the phone without knowing..
Thanks

well, I am not an expert on the tmobiles network, but going by what lazybozz, said, I seem to remember tmobile using different bands than the other carriers, so what you may be experiencing, is the phone being in the vicinity of multiple towers, but not all of them are within the band that the phone supports. So its like the phone doesnt even see those towers. On a side note, this issue caused alot of chaos for those who unlocked iphones about 3 years ago, they could use EDGE on tmobiles network but not 3G, so i assume this is a similar situation. So long story short, yeah you probably cant fix the problem, unless you get a quad band phone. I could be wrong, but it does sound like a logical reason for the issue you are having.

as elvisypi said above, Its the freq that T-mobile operates on in that area. If your getting T-mobile at all in the states then you have already flashed a radio. However flashing any other radio is not going to give you the freq that tmobile uses, Its not a software limitation its a physical hardware limitation.

Thanks for your reply, do you know any app out there that monitor and alarm you when the network or signal is lost ? That works with 4.3 ?That way at least you know the phone is offline ... some of the apps I tried is anything at all ...
Thanks

Have you tried an app like tasker? Its essentially an automation app. It isnt jist for your use. Its for many different functions. Jist look on the app store for tasker. That might help

Network Unlocked LG Optimus 4x HD Cant Connect to New Network

Hello everyone,
I have just recently unlocked my phone because I'm currently away for business in China. However, when i got here and got a new simcard with the local mobile stores my phone cant connect to the networks at all. my phone is rooted and i am quiet a beginner regarding cellphones and what not. any help at all is greatly appreciated

Go to Settings / Mobile / Preferred Network Type.. choose different settings? Maybe you are trying to connect to a frequency that is not offered in China... or click "Choose Network Operator"

yep i did that, theres a choice of three networks, all three for China, two is GSM and one is UTMS, i tried connecting to any of the three and was not successful. automatic select network was also not successful. I bought my phone with Wind

Try inserting that sim card in another phone.Couple months ago i just lost signal with my phone was busting hed for 2 hours try to fix it and eventualy i realized my sim card was dead.

thanks for that, i have my old wind simcard and that works fine I dont think its the simcard's fault because i can still choose to select a network without the simcard in my phone, which still doesnt work.. pretty frustrating.
I was reading something about a HTC phone having the same problem and they solved it using something called a superCID or something like that. Does that ring a bell for anyone?

So you bought phone from Wind, wind simcard works. You put another simcard and it doesn't work?
Your phone is locked to wind. So it won't accept any other simcard aside from wind simcard.
