I just got a no-ads version of this phone, everything seems to be working fine except:
I am using a Verizon sim for cellular data and a T-Mobile sim for voice, obviously Verizon card can be used for data only but that's fine. The problem is the phone wants to switch to vodafone network once in a while, so I lose data link often. I have set up the correct APN for Verizon and the phone get data just fine, however the phone insists to switch to the vodafone apn every couple of minutes.
Is there a solution? Thank you all!

Hi, I just returned from Europe where I has some Tilt problems using Dutty's Diamond ROM and an ATT SIM card. I purchased a European SIM card to fix my immediate problems over there, but just wondering what I can do next time so it works.
The problem manifested itself as the phone not connecting to any discovered network. The phone would discover Vodaphone, O2, Orange, T-Mobile, etc. but I could not connect to any of them. Something about my data connection needing to be reset.
The phone is unlocked and buying a Vodaphone SIM card worked fine for voice (phone) calls and SMS, but still no data (Internet, email, etc.)
Can anything think of what I can do next time so I can use my ATT SIM card and still get data and voice (roaming, of course)?

sounds like you are missing the settings for data connection. For att try installing this cab:
THx, will try next time.

Do you have international dialing/roaming enabled with ATT? If you don't, you will see networks but not be able to connect. This is something you have to request. By default, ATT sets you up for use in the US only....
I recently purchased a Moto X Pure Edition and am trying to use my old gophone sim (previously in a feature flip-phone) in it. I have tested and confirmed that it works correctly on T-mobile, however when I put my gophone sim in it, it shows service for 30-60 seconds and then goes to "No Service" which I know is not true. It is also worth noting that I can't turn on cellular data. As soon as I do it turns itself off.
Other things that might be relevant:
My gophone plan is the 10c/min, no data plan.
This was originally a full size sim which I cut down to nano size. I have put it back in my old feature phone with an adapter and confirmed that it still works.
I have tried a dozen different APN settings, including copying the APN settings from a friend's Moto G that has the same plan, with the same result.
For the short period that I do have service, it usually works correctly. I still can't turn on mobile data, but I can make and receive calls as well as send and receive non-MMS text messages (MSS requires mobile data). Sometimes attempting to text/call seems to trigger me losing service, but that might be a coincidence.
I'm currently on rooted stock 5.0 lollipop with an unlocked bootloader.
Any ideas how can fix this?
I am going to try using my friends gophone sim and see if that works. I will update with the results of that.
Att contracts require data plan for smartphones. Maybe related. Call them and ask.
As I mentioned, my friend has a Moto G with the same plan. I did call and they suggested I get a new SIM. I'm going to do that, but I'm doubtful of the result
Hi.
For those who don't know, Freedom Mobile (formerly Wind) is a T-Mobile equivalent network here in Canada, but until recently they launch a new LTE network and their site says I can use my N900A. I used their phone compatibility checker to confirm (see attachment)
However, I bought their sim to test, I get LTE data and works fast, but I can't make phone calls. It just sits there doing nothing and finally hangs. I checked the simcard on another phone and it works, so it's not the sim.
I'm using the lollipop OC1 firmware stock only. What could be the issue here? I appreciate any input.
EDIT:
My phone is unlocked (RegionLockAway) a while ago.
My *#2263# is set to Automatic.
Do calls work on the Bell, Telus, or Rogers network?
Hi guys,
My toy is a samsung note N 9600 and its factory unlocked. Last week ported out from T-mobile to keep my original number and facing a wried issue.
The day I ported out from T-mobile, VZW network couldnt be recognized when I tried to activate the VZW sim card. "No network connection." and no call or text can be made. However, after I RESET my device to factory model, it SUCCESSFULLY recognized VZW and LTE function works well. Sounds wried? The story doesnt end here.
Yesterday after I turned off the VZW sim card by accident-- n9600 is a dual sim card which allows you to turn either sim card off-- the network connection lost again, im not talking about LTE connection, but all network service including internet, phone call and text function. Tried a lot to get the connection back but failed. Guess what? RESET, THEN VZW comes back!!! Being driven by curiosity, I turned off the sim card agian, and then, as my expect, no network connection. Ok, rest---works---turning off sim card---no connection---reset……
I am really annoyed by this and have no idea why it is. So if anyone of you have clue of it, plz let me know. Thank you in advance!

No one experienced same issue before?
So on Monday ATT decided to deactivate my sim card because they believe my phone is incompatible with their network now. All my bars went to 0 with an x on it and I couldn't do anything on the phone. I went to an ATT store, got them to give me a new activated sim and I put it in my phone and all my bars came back.
My phone says VoLTE again too by the signal bar area. I also tested a text and it went through fine. I received a phone call and while it works fine, it sounds like junk now. Like it is no longer actually using VoLTE like it always has. My phone doesnt seem to have any data however, when it should have LTE just fine. I also cannot make any calls, even though it says VoLTE on the phone, it just re-routes to ATT customer service instead of going through with the call.
When I go into the network area in settings it says no IP address either. I looked and my APN is set to nxtgenphone, Preferred Network Type selected on LTE. Before ATT deactivated my sim card LTE has always worked fine, and LTE should still work fine. It is only the 3G network being shut down. Also given the fact I have the VoLTE icon the phone is apparently connecting somewhat to an LTE network.
So does anyone know how to fix settings to get data working again? Is it just an APN that needs to change? What is everyone else doing with the network shutdown and has anyone else had issues like this?
I had the exact same issue, your issue is in fact APN settings I'm having them as well. Try deleting your current APN and putting in a new one. Once I got a new sim my APN reset I could call but no data and no text. I have half of the APN information in place and have data and basic text, but once I input the MMS port the APN data disappears still trying to figure that out. Not sure if anything I typed is helpful but at least you know your not alone with a mi11 on ATT and it can work

Thanks for the reply. I tried deleting the MMS port and also the proxy just now and data didnt come back. I will try searching around for more APN info for how phones are supposed to connect now and see if I can find anything.
It looks like from what I could find that it is due to an IMEI whitelist ATT has, blocking data connection on any device not in their whitelist. The solution seems to be to root the phone and change your IMEI to a whitelisted model.
While my phone is rooted my IMEI is not cloned I definitely would not share my IMEI with ATT. When I got my sim card yesterday I had the attendant activate but I did not provide my phone so he did not get the IMEI from my phone. If you got a sim and they input your IMEI that could be a problem possibly. Just a suggestion to try and get a sim activated at a store without your phone.
I had also heard that most ATT MVNOs were not having the device whitelist forced on them yet, so I went and tried 2 different ones yesterday. Both failed to get the phone working on their network with their sims.
Before I went through the hassle of rooting (and most likely losing payments) I tried ATT again anyway. I used their online customer service chat and the first person I chatted with said he could help me with the lte data problem and the IMEI issue. I was skeptical, but he actually did fix it all up. He just needed my sim ICCID and my phones IMEI1 and he submitted the info to their backend people for adding to their system. It took almost an hour and a half for it to get added, but overall it was a pretty painless process and I was browing the web most of the time while waiting in chat. I now have LTE data again, VoLTE again, and "5G" too (which ATT 5G is really just one or two more features than normal LTE and is no faster in speed and uses LTE data bands). I attached a screenshot showing the data and VoLTE working on my phone. The first signal is ATT, the second is TMobile (which has always worked and never had an issue, their 3G network shutdown is going on for another 4-5 months)

Happy you are back up and running and I'm glad that you found someone at ATT to do the fairly easy work of getting your IMEI cleared. Lots of people have been worried about devices not working on ATT because of this whitelist issue glad to see there are workarounds just wish ATT didn't make it so convoluted.
