Just in case you don't know. Looks lke there is a small problem with the caller ID. Carrier Devices (I-mates) have released a patch. I installed it and not a problem. Looks like other MDA/O2 devices might have the same problem but no offical release and don't think this patch works but for imates. Read the posts @
http://discuss.pocketnow.com/showth...511d51&threadid=14516&perpage=12&pagenumber=2
The patch download is here (large 10mb!)

Here is the important part of the post.
Here is the tech support post.
Please download the patch from
http://www.imate.com/imate/files/Gitex_Update.cab. Please copy this file to the i-mate Pocket PC and run the file using File Explorer on the device. Backup or synchronize with your PC any data on the device.
Perform a Hard Reset by holding down the Power button while using the Stylus to press the small hole on the bottom left of the device. The Hard reset does erase all user data on the device, so backup or synchronies your device to your PC first to save your data.
Align the screen and perform the cut and past training, and set
the timezone. Then a list of operators settings should appear. Chose one and then accept the Arabic EULA. Let all the applications install, the device will reset automatically when this has been completed.
Actually it is related to the Country Code and Area Code. I have mine working. Goto Setting, Connection, Advanced and Select Location. Put the appropiate country code and area code and it should work well.

Update:
Looking through the google and more to see what I can find.
Build.Prop? I dont use airwave. and I am not getting any location info (not even the wrong location info)

Tried that.. no luck still not able to get a location lock

Looking into Netloc
---------------------
Back to thinking this is an issue with the Radio update and PRI
Anybody have a signed copy of netloc handy?
It was the PRI.. got it reset and everything is working again.

Well, hello guys. I have came here because I have no idea what to do right now. I bought what I thought it was a Samsung S4 GT-I9500, but now I'm not sure. For you to know, this is my cellphone's review:
dhgate.com/product/i9500-1-1-quad-core-mtk6589-s4-android-4/163955856.html
All my concern started when I bought a Claro SIM from Argentina. I insterted it once, no sim insterted, tried a couple of time, recognized the Operator Claro AR, but no signal, no conection, only emergency calls. I thought well, SIM must have broken when they cutted it. Due lack of time I didn't do much after that, and 2 weeks passed. Now searching in internet about how to make battery last longer, I found how to root my cellphone and I said HELL YEAH, I want to control it all! I didn't have my cellphone with me, so I just kept reading and watching tutorials, you know, recovery & download mode, CWM, ODIN, much things I wanted to do.
One thing I wanted to do also was to download a ROM for my cellphone, a firmware that was for Claro Argentina.
GT-I9500 Galaxy S 4
PDA: I9500UBUBMG1
CSC: I9500UWABMG1
MODEM: I9500UBUBMG1
Then I got my cellphone back, and here started my worries:
1) Vol Down + Menu + Power don't get me to the Download mode, instead I got to a "Factory mode" in chinese, or some Asian languaje, wich of course I don't understand. So had to change my strategy to root.
2) KIES does not recognice my cellphone, in fact, my device name in the PC is similar to "Android MT65** device". The "SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones" does not much I can say Had to change it one more time
3) Downloaded SnapPea, cellphone on USB Debug mode, plugged, everything seemed to be fine, and then I should have recieved the RSA key on my android... nothing. I turned ON and OFF the USB debbuging mode at least 100 times, cellphone plugged, unplugged, turned on and off the phone, restarted the computer, uninstaled Samsung drivers, uninstaled "Android MT65** device". NOTHING, never got that ask box. So I couldn't use Impactor
4) Time for some PdaNet, tried version 4.15, 4.01 and 3.00. I tried not reinstalling the drivers, reinstalling the drivers, uninstalling manually every single android driver on my PC, tried with Samsung and Other. All I got what, in version 4.01 and 3.00 "Error trying to handshake the device", and with the lastest version: HTC Sync error = -1. I didn't even have HTC installed, but i downloaded and installed it just to say "hey, I've done it, now what will be your excuse?". from this point on I got no more idea to go, but I kept searching, and I could do nothing.
Now, there are some details i want to share with you about my "Samsung Galaxy S4" if I can call it like that.
1) My boot logo is not Samsung GT-I9500 and whatsoever, it is a green Android and "Android" written below, and then a blue thing flying arround a blue android.
2) My battery last TOO little, in use with Wi-Fi and playing, it can last 3, 4 hours at 100% charge. Sometimes it doesn't charge to 100%, and usually it shuts down (and I don't mean the "shutting down" message, no, it's like it dies from one second to another) between 15% and 13%, never seen less than 12%, and sometimes even before telling me "low battery". But well, that can be a battery problem, at least I can try to download something to regulate battery consumption, or if you can suggest something.
3) This one is funny: My storage settings:
Internal Storage:
Total: 12.98 GB
Aviabable: 89 MB
Applications: 785 MB
Cache: 21 MB
SDCard:
Total: 17.90 GB (Hey, I didn't know my old 2GB SDCard could do that!)
Aviabable: 474 MB
App: 832 MB
Images: 704 KB
Downloads: 1 MB
Cache: 55 MB
Hilarious, isn't it. I thought it was a smartphone.
4) Something I crossed just wondering... my IMEI: 2222222222222222 / 01 (I don't know if I placed the right number of 2s, but you get the idea)... never on my life saw that.
5) All the "Samsung S4" features are not present on this phone. (all those fancy apps that starts with Samsung)
Well, I think thats all what's relevant. What can I do? Can I flash my cellphone, install a CWM, get the Download mode instead that chinese factory mode, get the root access, and install a Claro ROM? What cellphone do I have? D:

Well, thats all guys. Thanks in advance Oh and sorry for my bad english.
Hi,
sorry you have a fake Samsung! Nothing in the Samsung forums is relevant to your phone and experience from other fake galaxy threads there Is no one can help you either. So don't be surprised if no one jumps in to help.
In fact don't be surprised if there are certain members abusing you either as it has happened before.
Sorry fellow xda member.

This forum is for people that have genuine samsung s4 models.
The selling price tells you that it MAY be a fake at first view:
US $128.25 - 135.0
Here in Vietnam.
Sorry Man
But just in order to help you it seems your IMEI (IMEI: 22222222222222222 ) is wrong and your phone is messed somewhere. So no phone call are possible.
You bought it from DHGate. Nuff said. Definitely a fake I'm afraid mate.

I have a new LG V20 H990ds. (The international version, from dealer "Wireless Place" via Amazon.com.)
I have two AT&T SIM cards in it. Only one SIM card is activated.
When I go to Settings -> General -> About phone -> Status -> My phone number, under "My phone number", my number with AT&T is not there.
Instead, all it says is "Not available". I spent all day yesterday searching on this and came up empty.
Otherwise the phone is working fine, with "AT&T" showing as the network carrier.
Does anyone know why this would happen, how to fix it, or if I can simply set this manually?
Thanks.

hi all,
I decided to do my first post as i am stuck with something i am not sure how to rectify as a newbie in the android world but not newbie in the computer world.
I bought a samsung s4 GT-i9506 secondhand phone with damaged usb port thinking to repair it and try my skills for interest above all.
So got the port replaced and mobile charges ok now, i see the device working. battery is OK.
I think the device is Samsung Galaxy S4, and UNLOCKED possibly 2013 model GT-i9506 Black.
I found on the web some other codes like VDS or Shv-e330s-510 but not sure if these mean GTi9506 or are similar.
I found how to wipe - reset to factory, did that and did all updates to the phone. I dont know what OS was previously on the phone.
I then found the IMEI and paid via ebay to do a device or carrier check and got the following results including some other i add by myself.
I give all the info further down.
So, i tried to put a sim card and got error with SIM network unlock PIN window.
I added sim card, local card without subscription Lyca or comviq for above issue.
I dont know the pin and i click dismiss instead of unlock.
So, i need to unlock the networ i understand.
The paid check said unlocked so not sure what is going on with the phone at this stage.
After searching online I went in networks and did a search. I got results as below:
Telenor SE
Telenor SE
Tele2
3 SE
Telia S
So no Lyca or Comviq listed or not sure if ie Telia handles Lyca (I think Estonian company)
as i see Telia signal on the mobile from time to time, using the Lyca sim card.
I then found a video how to enter the service menu to do unlock of the network for free.
It works when i do the 0011 dial with star and hash keys combination, but does not accept
entering key values ie 1 etc to bring the next menu up etc. So it stays in the first service mode screen
which says (some items change values while this mode is on)

-----
So i abandoned this operation and tried to follow other videos ie to root device
and run an app, i forgot its name, found in XDA as apk file that does this unlocking as well (may work)
as could not find it in google play store.
I downloaded a root checker app and checked device. It said may not be rooted or need to grant SU permissions.
I got another root checker and said that device may not be rooted ok, but i guess could be same issue as above.
I also read that samsung disable the service mode and maybe my update is not allowing this mode to work and needs root
or flashing earlier OS versions which i have no clue how to find and apply - i have no instructions at all.
Then i tried to find free root apps but no luck as not sure what you do after that and where. So i stopped here and thought to
ask in the forums.
So, which is the best way to free fix my network problem on this oldie phone...
How can i downgrade and or flash to an older android version that will allow me to run the service mode OK etc. what do i need for that.
Platforms and software pc or mac.
I have a soldering iron and screwdrivers and may do some soldering if is possible to my skills.
