Hi,
I'm using the operator One Call in Norway. We have the choice of using two Networks: Network Norway and Telenor.
Only the latter will give you 3G, so I manually set my network to Telenor.
The only problem is that my phone thinks I am now roaming. I can off course enable data on roaming, but I think that is a silly workaround.
What is deciding when I'm roaming? The radio ROM, kernel or something else?
I've allready searched this forum, but couldn't find any answeres...

I have flashed my T-Mobile tab and asked T-Mobile for a Sim unlock code and now it works fine with any Sim. I can place calls with the dialer.
My problem is that in Italy, the tab connects to the internet only in Edge, it does not use the UMTS network.
By going to the mobile settings I do not have the "use only 2G" option.
I have GSM/WCDMA automatic on the settings. By typing the 4636 code on the dialer, it seems already well configured.
any solution?
thx
What is your provider? Because if it does not use the 2100mhz frequency for 3g (t-mobile) you will just not be able to ever connect on 3g, it's not a problem of configuration but a radio incompatibility.
In italy 3g is on 2100 and 900mhz. If i read it right T-Mobile uses 1700 and 2100mhz so it shouldn't be a big issue.
However unless you are using a TIM sim, forget about EDGE: GPRS only for all the other mobile operators!
Maybe there is poor 3g cover where you are at the moment? Wind is particularly low on the cover side.
My italian operator is wind.
the sim I am trying to use is wind.
I am located in Milan.
I also have an N1 bought in the US, when google released the TMobile version (with the 900/2100 band) and in Milan gets the 3G signal pretty well. As soon as I put the Sim in the Galaxy tab, the data connection goes in Edge even when I have full signal.
thank you
What is your apn setting -"profili" from your screen shot? You might have to write down the values when your sim card is in your other phone, then manually add them to your tab.
That is the setting access point names.
There is where I have set up the Apn for my Italian operator. Since I have my nexus one with the 3G connection working fine, I am using the very same settings. The Firmware version I am using is XXJK1.

I already tried this. By checking the dialer code 4636 i have a pretty similar setting as the nexus but still it does not connect using 3G. I am not very techie but I wonder if it could be something related with the modem file I used during the flashing procedure. The calls work fine though.

Try the Roto 3g modem.bin file. Flash in Odin in the Phone spot, leave all other settings alone.
Was this solved? I'm in the U.S. thinking about buying a tab, in Sweden we use 2100Mhz for 3G. Will it work and which one should I get, T-mobile or AT&T?

sorry for not replying before. in the various posts I found two files, i wonder which one is the correct one to use with the firmware I have on my tab (XXJK1).
I would like to be able to make calls and connect in 3g with my italian sim
Which file I use?:
PDA_JL5modem.tar (modem.bin)
or the :
JMA_ROTO-2G_modem.bin
thank you
Actually, I would use the bell i9000 modem from the Roto JME post when using a network compatible to at&t. That gets voice and 3g. I would use the Roto 3g modem for a network compatible to t-mobile to get 3g, but not voice.

I downloaded a modem.bin file from one of the posts after reading one of the Roto posts but unfortunately did not change anything at all.
Would you please link me the post where I can download this specific bell i9000 modem, that is also compatible with a at&t? I want to use the tab for phone calls and 3G, as in Italy we have no voice restrictions as in the US.
Thanks
Hi, My name is javier, I have bought one nexus 4 8Gb orange phone, but it is sim-unlocked so I can use my MVNO ( mobile virtual operator network) But I am unable to use 3G or WCDMA band in spain.
I Know here are some problems about MVNO and 4.3 and 4.4 and 4.4.2 Android versions, but my problem is not this one. On a Vodafone SIM Card, I am unable to get internet also on this unit. The rest of the phone works flawessly, but 3G does not. I am starting to think that GSM chip is broken. But Hey 2G Networks works well no signal lost, perfectly clear voice on dialing, and constant 20kb internet data speed. No matter is an MVNO or a real operator like Vodafone.
Searching the net, i came over this:
Nexus 4 Suffering from 3G and 4.ยท Upgrade
And for all of you that are not going to take a deep read, let me tell, that they say there is an error on 4.3 and newer Android framework and Radio Baseband version. So people get unconsistent 3G connection. Well mine is really consistent. No conection at all never. So I think this is not my problem, although I have tried a bunch of roms even all google ones, all basebands and a couple of sims from diferent company.
Anyway, a quick fix is quoted here: Quick 3G Fix But I do not understand what is this or what I am supposed to do with that. Can someone help me with this?
And, after that, I start to look at something more, like Sim Unlocking is snot well done and 3g Band is still locked. Havent tried it with Orange sim as I do not have any. Is there any secret menu where network locks are shown?
And moreover, How can I trace what is happening to my chip? If someone has made hybrid basebands to unlock 4G, there has to be a way to track what is happening to radio basebands while they are working...and perhaps, I can gather some good info to work with...
One more thing on *#*#4636#*#* menu, I can force WCDMA or GSM or the rest options, If I use Force WCDMA, I get signal lost for ever, If only GSM or WCDMA Preferred, it has signal but only gprs internet conection. This is with ONO (MVNO). But with Vodafone, I get HSPA Conection but no internet at all.
Really annoyed with this, hope someone is able to help me with this.
Thanks to all in advance.
Nobody? well i will try to find out myself.
Anyway I have started to know something about android tracking with logcat, and would like to know if there is any way to check all the traces of the modem to check if the chip is faulty or is a driver issue and i have to learn to modify it myself. Thanks.
Hey Guys,
I have just bought a olleh branded S7 edge(SM-G935K/Korean version) from eBay. I'm very happy with it so far, but it seems that 4g is not working, only 3g. I looked trough the internet, but couldn't find anything. What I do found out is that it supports all the correct 4g frequencies. It also looks that some of the settings are blocked or simply not there. For example, when I go into Setting - Mobile networks, I only see a greyed out Data roaming, normal Access Point Names and greyed out Status bar indicator. There is no Network mode and no Network operators. Maybe this is because of the olleh branding?
Thanks!
Hi,
I have got the same issue. but I have 4G working. I would like to know how to get data roaming working too. Any expert can point it out how to fix the data roaming would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. I am on Australia Vodafone network. I do get LTE and LTE+. I can share my setting if you need any info.
Hi,
Does anyone know of a way to change the preferred carrier network when roaming? I suppose I need to change the PLMN on my sim-card?
I found a way with the pc-software below (but did not test it yet):
https://www.dekart.com/products/card...t/sim_manager/
But I would rather have a way to do it on my phone, since it seems that I can only block networks in this program; and not simply change the preferred network.
Reason is that I live near the German border and travel a lot in Germany. My own provider (KPN Netherlands) dictates a their own network there (E-Plus), but it has very poor coverage where I use to travel; especially in 4G. So I would rather have Telekom - T-Mobile as my preferred roaming carrier network.
Is there an app with which such can be done? I remember that at my older phones changing the preferred roaming network was a standard option.
Or does anyone have experience with Dekart SIM-manager or another program which works?
Thanks in advance!
Hey everybody,
Recently rooted an American T-Mobile K20 Plus and removed the restriction on the network for use in Ireland. I can now register the phone to any network associated with the SIM card inserted into it. Unfortunately, the phone does not appear to be able to connect to anything but 2G internet even after changing Network Mode from GSM only to GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto.
I'm wondering if there are any security measures pre-installed in the phone to block 3G or 4G internet outside of the USA or have I made any stupid mistakes? Phone pretty much needs the better connectivity for use as a hotspot. Any ideas would be great, thanks.
I have the same problem
Is it at all possible for you to access the phone's hidden settings and change the radio band under phone info to Automatic or Europe. It's likely it is set to United States by default.
K20 plus isn't able to use the frequency that irish carriers support.
