Hi all,
I have two Xperia SPs both are (C5303), I got them from different carriers (Vodafone Australia and Virgin mobile/ Optus) on a plan which as finished now. I have encountered an issue that, one of the phones is unable to connect to the Optus network. I have tried an optus sim and there is no indication that the phone is locked. I would like to know is the baseband (8960A-AAAAATAZQ-40031007-20) affecting the phone's ability to connect to another network? I tried the other phone running 12.1.A1.207 with 8960A-AAAAATAZQ-40031007-21 which works with both networks. Would flashing to a new baseband fix the problem? I had read that flashing different baseband could work?

Hello,
in Uk a brought a Galaxy-S (T-mobile) and unlocked it. Now I'm back in Italy and I put my old SIM card. The Phone works, except for 3g, edge or any mobile connectivity. I think there is two options:
- The phone is still locked.
- My sim is very old (from 1999), may be no more compatible with 3g.
How do I find out which is the case and how I solve that?
Thanks guys (girls too).
No network
Hi m8
Could you please check your imei number, I did exactly the same.
I bought my sgs on firmware 2.1 & unlocked it via free unlock tool, I then messed with some new firmwares. Recently tried to sell my phone as unlocked but when buyer put their sim in, It shows a signal but no data network connection.
After messing around with different sims i did a check & noticed my firmware is some stupid 04999????
Regards
Mark
What does that mean?? Is it related to IMEI somehow?? What should I check about it? How do I fix that? I've 2.2 by the way
Hi everyone,
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 (16gb) in Singapore and was using it fine on Singtel's network (signed a contract with them). Now I have moved back to Canada and brought my phone with me assuming that all would be ok to use it with the network here. However I'm having big problems with this one network I just signed up with (Virgin Mobile).
85% of the time I cannot connect to it: voice calls and SMSing won't work nor will the data work on it, the only thing it says is "Emergency calls only". Then at other times everything will seem to connect and work fine - I can make calls and use data.
Virgin Mobile will not support me much because they're thinking it's the phone's problem, if I use the phone they gave me (a lower-end model) it works fine.
Here are some details of my phone:
Firmware version
2 2
Baseband version
I9000DXJPA
Kernel version
2 6 32 9
root (at) SE-S604 #1
Build number
FROYO DXJPA
If I check out the status, it usually says this:
Network
Unknown (switches to VIRGIN when it does work)
Mobile network type
UMTS (switches between that and HSDPA and GPRS)
Service state
Out of service
Mobile network state
Disconnected (switches to connected when working, and even when it's not working sometimes)
I have Network mode set to auto mode (GSM/WCDMA). I've tried to switch it to GSM only but that didn't seem to change anything.
I'm wondering if there's some kind of configuration settings I still need to do with the phone? I'm also wondering if it is the network I'm with right now? Virgin Mobile isn't one of the bigger telcom companies here and I'm thinking that if I switch to one of the bigger telcoms, will it work better?
Something else to add - before I signed up with Virgin I was using my phone with a pre-paid service (called Chatr) for voice only and it was working fine.
I'm sure this phone can support the GSM frequencies here.. can't it?
I also still have the Singtel customizations on the phone. Will it help if I remove it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks a lot!

You can always try flashing a different MODEM (Radio) .. And you might as well upgrade to a 2.2.1 firmware, if not GB.
hmm.. do you know where I can learn how to flash my phone to a different (and more appropriate!) modem? also where to find an update to the firmware?

Just search in these forums. It's all there. You can easily flash a new radio package using ODIN. Better yet, try one of the custom ROMs from the I9000 Android Development section.
Hi all, great forum, I've learned quite a bit from just reading all the threads but I have a headscratcher I couldn't find anything on and hopefully someone can answer this as I'm losing my mind trying to figure it out.
I have a Telus Milestone which works perfectly fine with CM7 RC12 on the Telus network in Canada. Every time I travel to Europe or other places it just won't connect to the local network, just emergency calls.
I tried every single baseband in AOR 3.3 but nothing works. I also tried different roms (Cronos X 1.5, FroyoMOD 2.9.1, wiping phone, factory reset, etc.
Even tried the Moto Defy baseband switcher with no luck. AFAIK this phone is capable of 850/1900/2100 bands.
Really appreciate any help!!!
Well, according to this - http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php/1641030-Does-the-Telus-Milestone-support-2100MHz-3G - Telus Milestone should support European frequencies, but not 2g and it have same hw like MM for Europe.
Some time ago I was a TelusLite rom for Milestone user and it was working well with 2g and 3g after change to Germany baseband (in Poland). Without baseband change it was only working on 3g.
Maybe you need to flash some European-compatible rom (eg. FroyoMod/CM7) and then try?
Thanks for the quick reply.
I tried changing to Germany baseband which should work but it doesn't. In my case I'm trying to connect to Orange Romania which uses 900/1900/2100.
I did try FroyoMod which is Italian if I'm not mistaken, it was developed by 89luca89. Also tried different flavours of CM and Cronos.
It almost seems as if I have to unlock first or maybe Telus is blocking my account from roaming... is that even possible?
I've ordered an unlock code from cellunlocker.net, hopefully after unlocking I can use a local SIM and see if it connects.
Thanks for the help!
Hm. It is strange that it doesn't working on every rom.
Maybe Telus don't have an agreement for roaming with Orange Romania? I think that it is a problem with one of the cell operators, not with your phone.
Good luck with local SIM
Yeah, strange indeed.
I doubt it is Orange RO as I tried it in Paris, France last week and it wouldn't connect to any network there either, Orange, SFR, etc. A couple of months ago I couldn't connect to Cubacel either. I just figured the commies don't like Canadian smartphones. LOL
I have a feeling Telus has my account locked from roaming. I'm praying the local SIM will work.
Thanks again!
Well, just as I suspected, Telus must have the SIM locked from roaming. The unlock code from cellunlocker.net worked like a charm. Phone connects to local Orange RO network, full 3G data connectivity too.
It's good news I'm happy that you managed it to work.
Looks like Telus don't want you to use other operators. But there is no impossible things
Hello.
Having problems with my I8190N. About 2-3 days a go it suddenly lost ability to connect into internet. I can switch data connection on or off, it doesnt make any difference. I have tried to reflash various ROMs and it's all the same, no internet. I get the usual signal bars but no H/G/E marks.
It did not happen after flashing, had CM11 on it for days and I could connect Internet just fine. No carrier limitations either, I can make calls out and same SIM in my old phone can go to internet.
Should I flash the stock ROM/bootloader back and RMA it? Or is there something else I can do? (perhaps known issue and solvable on my own)
Phone is fairly new, bought it in August as brand new.
i suppose APN settings are correct?
you can try to flash another baseband to try with it, what is yours current baseband?
basebands you can find here for N version, XXAMJ ist newest and working for me...
I had the same problem a couple of days ago. It turns out that my problem was the simcard, have you tried to put another simcard in your phone and see if it works?
I have this problem, same with two phones and two SIM cards, both phones are ZTE, both problem SIM cards are on Vodafone, both phones have no problem connecting to data via t mobile sim? This leads me to believe that voda data does not work on zte phones, apn details are correct. Does anyone knowa fix?
finally sorted it........... f'd around with a few different apn's and even phoned up talktalk(same as vodafone network) who confirmed I had the right settings which I hadnt!
Found the correct settings on the geeksquad website. seems i didnt need to bother filling out some of the fields and then wham internet connection straight away!
Sent from my ZTE V967S using xda app-developers app
Hi,
I have an HTC One M7 with it's original Vodaphone ROM (UK, vodap102)
Everything was ok but about 2 days ago suddenly it lost it's cellular network.
from time to time it connects but looses it again the moment i try to enable mobile data.
I have tried to reboot, factory reset, tried different SIM cards (from same company) but nothing.
when i go to network operators sometimes it can't find anything but sometimes it finds all the networks around. when i try to connect to my network it tells me it "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network"
I had a firmware update as well (sense 6) but after the update was no change.
Is there anything else i can do?
P.S.
The phone is with unlocked bootloader, S-on and is being used in a different country, not in UK. as i said, it worked perfect for about a year in the same cellular network
Please asist, Thanks.
A little update...
If i choose 2G only, it works fine. but only in this mode.
any suggestions what might it be and how to solve it?
