I'm not able to resolve a few issues - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

Hi guys,
Maybe you can point me in the right directions.
I'm living near the border of two country's every time my device switch to different operations when a other signal is better. I have T-mobile and I want to keep it that way, when it want's to change it's provider then It should ask me. My phone options are set as "manual" (cost me full money when it's roaming and started to download email)
When opening the keyboard (sliding it down) the device keeps blank. Isn't it possible to turn it auto on when sliding it open would be better then always press on the standby/on button.
Thank you very much for your information.

Hi,
If you selected "manual" in network tab of phone settings, you should be okay.
If not, review the list of "preferred networks" and untick unwanted networks from abroad (or just leave only T-Mobile)
As for keyboard... I'm not sure.. I own Blueangel and it keeps doing it the same way as yours.
I think there's no switch/hall connector to tell the device that you slided out the keyboard. So without the knowledge, it can't react in any way.
Have fun

manual network selection still switches to other networks

Hello all,
I've tried searching for this, but didn't find anything about it, so I hope that's not due to me having bad searching skills :?.
I have an MDA Vario from T-mobile (dutch), and am using it without letting the preloaded software run (by softresetting right after initial WM5 setup). It works perfectly fine, but I have one problem with it, being that even though I manually set the phone's network to T-mobile, when I go into Belgium it still switches to another network.
Since I have an unlimited GPRS plan, I just leave msn on all the time, but I don't want it to be causing any GPRS traffic while roaming on another network (which would be expensive), and since internet is the only thing I use the phone for (I have another phone I use for general voice calls), I would like it to just not register to any network at all when it can't find my home network.
Oddly enough, my motorola MPX200 (running windows mobile 2003) seems to be having the exact same problem (which is why I was surprised to not find any topics discussing this before). My colleague who has the same phones (MPX200 and Vario) also has the same issue.
Since I live really close to the border, I have to be very vigilant about this to avoid high roaming costs... If I can't fix this on the phone side, I guess I'll have to ask T-mobile if they can place a roaming bar for me.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? Or, in some odd MS logic, is it supposed to behave like that??
Have you tried going to "Phone > Menu > Options > Network >Set Networks" checking only your network, unchecking the rest, and setting "Network Selection" to "Manual" ?
Ahh, actually I hadn't. I tried to go to that screen earlier, but it wouldn't open. I guess I had my eyes in my backpocket since it clearly says to terminate the active connection and try again .
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll see if it helps next time I head into belgium far enough to lose T-mobile coverage .
Good luck !
Well took me til now before I could test it, went into belgium to go to the cinema (saw chronicles of narnia... don't bother unless you enjoy childish disney flicks...) but it still switched over to another network...
Guess I'll just get a roaming bar on it, until I get smart enough to code something up to disconnect GPRS on other networks (pah right ).
Unless anyone else got any ideas?
Hi!
Well, I have the same problem.
I selected "manual network" and erased all preferred networks but my own.
Still t switches to the network with stronger signal.
T-mobile-Germany hotline said that this is the normal (??crazy??) functionality of the phone. Stunned.
Hello!
I have exactly the same problem with my Qtek 9100, I live in France and work in Switzerland. 2 or 3 times a day I have to check if the selected network is still the good one if I don't want to pay the roaming cost.
I've contacted a french developper to see if he is interested in the development of a little software that could help us... I will keep you informed!!!!

sync ppc time to cellular network?

Hi,
I have a XV6900 and I do a lot of traveling in different time zones around the US. When I turn on the phone after I landed, I want the phone to indicate the correct local time, no matter what time zone I'm in. Is there a way to have the phone read the correct local time off Verizon's cellular network and display it on the phone? My old phone did this, and I don't understand why the XV6900 can't do this. I tried the time zone tab in Adv Conf Tool, but I can't get the tab to appear. Any ideas? Thanks!
I can't necessarily explain how to fix this, but I do know why this happens. Because smartphones, especially the touch like HTC are also meant to double as PDA it merely syncs the clock to what ever time zone you prescribed. This is especially useful when people turn off the cell phone radio and the PDA portion of the phone still keeps track of time. Whereas mobile phones that sync directly off of service tend to have no recollection of time when there is no service is available, in airplane mode, or in the wrong type of signal area (ex. CDMA phone in the GSM dominated Europe). Because of that imperfection, your phone is programed to keep track of its own time and syced to 1, 2, 3 hours off from the NIST lab in Boulder, CO. Thus, your only built in solution that I'm aware of is to program multible time zones in your phone under "additional clocks" then just switch the clock when you arrive.
Open the phone app. Go to menu/options/services and scroll down to time syncronization. Click get settings and set it to sync with the network. That will do it for you.

Internet Help Please?

Hi everyone,
I'm new here and this looks like a good place to learn about all things WinMo
Unfortunately, i think i may have donw something to my HD2 and now it wont let me on the internet. It says at the top its connected via 3g or whatever's the strongest connection. But whenever i try to launch anything requiring the internet it comes up saying its unable to connect and to try again.
I've had the phone 3 months and its been fine. THe only changes i've made from standard is adding cookies home tab (which im sure didnt do anything) the only other thing i did around the time of it stopping working is using tree size mobile i selected "Load Default Settings" could this have done it??
I've also just noticed it wont let me call people, it just does 3 beeps and hangs up even in strong signal.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Mark
Have you paid you're bill lol
anyway settings>connections>then take a look in connections see if all you're settings are still there if not go back a page and hit up connection set-up and it should put you're settings back in have a soft reset and try again call wise not sure, could be a problem with the phone that requires a hard reset(back to when you first got the device)
I'll enquire bout the bill, shouldnt be though, cos when you get cut off it doesnt let you connect to 3g, and when you call its just says connection to this number is restricted on this phone...which it isnt doing, its just not calling at all.
Been into settings and everything is on and i've done the reconfiguration to Vodafone and its still the same.

[Q] Need help - Unlocked Japanese Note 3 no longer works!

Hi All,
Please help. I'm a rookie at rooting and have an unlocked Japanese Note 3 through AU (my Japanese service provider). I was in a rush and paid someone to unlock it before heading back to the States last year. The phone works with my AT&T sim card but when I am back in Japan (with Japanese sim) I am constantly being dropped from the network. 4G service usually works for internet, etc, but I cannot make/receive phone calls and only occasionally can send/receive text messages. I need to know if I should re-root the phone (and leave it rooted) or just do a factory reset (or perhaps change some other setting to get things working again)? The problem with a factory reset is that it will probably re-lock the phone and I don't have a code.
Strange Detail:
Whenever I try to dial a number, the name of a Chinese Province shows up under the Contact's Name. This suggested to me some network issue where the phone somehow thinks it's in China (though texts still kinda work...) and doesn't connect correctly to the Japanese network.
Details:
Model: sm-N900J (per the download screen) i believe this means it has a SnapDragon Processor
Knox warranty has been tripped (apparently by the guy I paid to unlock it originally - is that bad?)
Android 4.3 (looks like I'm still in the original version of Jellybean. Should I upgrade to Kitkat or Lollipop?)
Other Issues:
As of two days ago, the phone now restarts after about 5 minutes of use. Like many Note 3 phones, it's always done the occasional random restart (another reason to root?) but now it's making the phone almost unusable. Also, since having the phone rooted/unlocked/re-rooted I always get a series of warnings upon start-up. Typically, standard Samsung apps like S Planner, Calendar Storage, Keyguard and Index Service have stopped. I have never been able to use the Calendar (or other basic apps) since it always crashes. Is this an issue with Knox clashing with something from the original root (I still see SuperSU loaded -but "turned off"- in the apps menu)?
Idealy...
...someone can help me decide the best course of action (Root, Reset, Other), and how to make sure I can connect back up to my Japanese network properly. I think I'd prefer to root since what I want is an unlocked phone that works smoothly, with good battery life, little to no bloatware, a custom theme and a working S pen. If I root, what's the best method (already have SuperSU apparently) and which ROM and version of Android would be the most stable?
Main Issues Recap:
No connection to phone network (or limited 4G internet).
Phone restarts every few minutes.
Many Apps crash upon Start-up.
Thanks in advance!
So, here's an update that someone with a similar problem might find useful...
Japan uses CDMA for voice and GSM for LTE Data. Somehow (probably through using my phone in the states on a GSM network) the phone was no longer connecting to the CDMA network. Since I'd gotten no responses and felt like there was a good chance that a factory reset would not reverse the sim-unlock I'd stupidly paid to have done, I did a factory reset. Despite appearing to have solved my Index Service, Calendar Storage, S Planner crashing issues, I was still having the exact same problem of LTE working but no CDMA network.
Somehow I stumbled on to this website...(well, I'm unable to post as a new user but searching for "How To Fix Samsung Galaxy error while searching for network" should bring it up).
There, I found some really odd directions that solve network error issues. The only part of the instructions I was really able to carry out was take out the battery and simultaneously press the home and power buttons 10 times. I restarted my phone and miraculously was able to place a call for the first time in a year in Japan!
But then I no longer had any data. I figured it had to do with the APN settings being wiped in the strange reset I just tried. But when I went into Settings>More Networks>Mobile Networks there was no longer an Access Point Names option in the menu. There is no longer a "Network Mode" option either. I used to have that set to LTE/WCDMA/GSM but now I only see a System Select option that simply lets me change my CDMA roaming mode from Automatic to Home Only.
I tried searching everywhere for the missing Access Point Names menu to no avail (and almost attempted to try flashing CyanogenMod for the time hoping this would bring back the APN settings menu) but then I realized that I could do a search in the settings app. I searched APN and the option came right up (though it's frustrating that this now appears to be hidden). Using the following settings (copied below) from the AU by KDDI website I created a new APN profile. Now mobile date appears to be working just fine too!
So, now I just need to decide if I want to keep running Touchwiz in Jellybean or use my new found confidence to try rooting and custom roms...
I'm also kind of curious to see that the next phone bill comes in as expected and I'm not being charged for a bunch of crazy usage! Also, any suggestions to help explain how I got into this problem in the first place, or how to clean up any loose ends would be appreciated.

signal problem

Hello,
If the problem has mentioned before, please excuse me in advance.
My wife owns a p8 lite(ALE-L21C150B595). I have this problem which i think occured just right after the last OTA system update(B595).
The phone has full signal only when the selected network type is ¨only GSM''. When i choose LTE/WCDMA/GSM or WCDMA/GSM, it losts completely the signal. The signal in my place is excellent, i own a honor 8 and is always on 4G, and also the p8 lite before the problem occured, had 4G also. I tried a factory reset(without erasing the files), but the problem persists. I also tested if the sim card had the problem. I entered my sim card in p8lite and the same signal problem occured.(I could not place p8lite sim in Honor because is takes nano-sim).
As you understand, the ''only GSM'' is not problem in calls and the general phone functions, but when i turn on the data usage, the internet is very very slow(i have not even 3G!!). Any help or suggestions?
Thanks in advance
Hi.
EDIT: Having skipped the obvious the phone is Single-SIM, right? These may have a delay of up to three minutes before connecting to a 3G or 4G network. It's not a feature, it's a bug.
Maybe you just flased a ROM with the wrong channel-set or band mode for the hardware of the phone. The ROMs have a special band mode for the LTE and 3G channels and that is shown in that number behind the C (CUST number), in your case C150.
Is the phone originally a C150? Is the ROM the same C150?
If not, flash the correct ROM for your region.
Another hack may be (not working on all ROMs):
Install "QuickShortcutMaker" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sika524.android.quickshortcut
Root will not be needed.
STOP here and rethink. This app is a mighty thing and you can do a lot of things on your phone that are hidden otherwise. Be careful and responsible, not to mess up everything and avoid being forced to a factory reset. Anyway, if you mess up something with this app, there will nothing be broken forever, just factory reset and all will be fine again, except for SIM card, which might be garbled up and rendered useless if you choose the wrong action. Be careful. You are responsible for whatever you do.
Now if you are acknowledging this and willing to go on, start that app and set search type to "simple".
Leave the search field empty.
Scroll to "settings" (or whatever it is called in your language) with the cogwheel icon.
Open/unfold this with a tap.
Now search for a line that is subtitled (tiny small letters) with "com.android.settings/com.android.settings.BandMode" (maybe the one behind "proxy settings" in the list, but this may vary)
Tap that line. The next page comes up. Change the label name of the shortcut to be made to "Band Mode" and tap "create/add"
Now you have another icon on your app screens. With this, depending on the ROM you flashed, you may now select the band mode maually.
Even if it throws an error, this does not mean it failed. This menu has just not been fully woven into the system. Check if 4G or 3G work now, this will be the only true indicator.
EDIT: And another hack would be:
Use QuickShortcutMaker to make a shortcut to a setting subtitled as "com.android.settings.DualCardSettings". It is in the list under settings, even on single SIM phones. Use this to check if the used SIM slot is correctly defined as the 4G/3G slot and data link, and correct if necessary.
good luck

First of all thanks for your advices.
The phone is single-sim,not rooted.I have not rooted it,or flashed any custom ROM. The only updates out has, are the originals which they came ota.Its a branded phone from the biggest carrier here on Greece(cosmote). I know there is a delay to have 3g or 4g, but this one has not signal (service) at all when i change the option to LTE. i am willing to check the solution you give me, but only when i am out of the obvious and easy possibilities.As for th right band that you mentioned, i think this isn't a possibility, because it used to work properly all the previous time, and the problem occurred 3 weeks ago. I told you before that is official and i have not flash or root anything at all.I have the feeling that the problem has to do with the last ofiicial update(if it ia not a problem of the sim itself)
Στάλθηκε από το FRD-L09 μου χρησιμοποιώντας Tapatalk
Well, then try to get the most recent update.
Or try the hacks with QuickShortcutMaker app.
When using this, just do not select anything that has to do with SIM, and you are on the safe side. Better than nothing.
Maybe the carrier disabled the SIM 3G and 4G features. Ask them.
It is very hard to help over a long distance. Sorry.
