Hi all,
I am currently in Canada with my new HTC P3600 unlocked phone. My mobile carrier (Rogers) just launched their new 3G network in Toronto this week. The phone on the 3G network is amazing FAST (1.5mbps down) when using the internet. Voice quality is VERY clear!
I am interested in the quality of the video call feature, but I don't know of anyone else with 3G enabled phone, or if Rogers has a test number you can call!!??
Any one else using their Trinity on a 3G enabled network that would like to test a video call or can share their experience?
ps: According to Rogers support department, they do NOT support unlocked phones...
Thanks
Chris
I live in Vancouver BC. So far we don't have 3G in our area. .
I am using the same phone with Rogers too, I dunno how I can enable video calling with Rogers, supposely it should work for other phone, however, I may be wrong. Let me know, coz I want to try it too.
I dont think video calling is enabled yet. Just the data.
Whenever I visit Toronto from Ottawa I get the HSDPA/3G with performance around ~300kbps. HOWEVER it totally Kills My Battery - like within under 24hrs using push email. Very bad.
Video calling is active in Toronto
I have just added VISION (video calling) feature to my plan. But I am unable to make video call.
You need a Setting for Video Call.. like a MMS,WAP need APN.. IP... setting
no you don't
video calling on rogers DOESN"T REQUIRE SETTINGS
make sure WCDMA is on in networks and the 3G icon is showing NOT E or G
Did u try P3600 Video calls @ rogers ?
was one of the first to sign up for the vision plan =)
so yes
im in the U.S. 3G area according to my phone anyone want to try video call
im in the U.S. 3G area according to my phone anyone want to try video call. I don't know if it will work since i have cingular as my provider to a roger phone up in canada? does any one know when the u.s. will sell video enabled phones? I have an htc p3600 unlocked works perfectly except i have no one to call that has a video phone
Damn Rogers, hurry up and launch this in Vancouver.
What are the plans like? I am dying for an unlimited 3G data plan.
****, even an unlimited EDGE plan would do it for me, but that's honestly not worth $100+ a month.

Also, for any of you Rogers customers, what do you think about their crappy data plans!? No unlimited data plan.. can only get 100mb for $100/mth!!

Hey, I am going to egypt for a vacation and I wanted to bring a phone with me there to use for internet, aim and phone calls. So I was wondering if i bring my HTC 8525 from America to egypt would it work? I would have to unlock it but I mean if i put another company like Vodafone(idk if you heard of it) will it be able to give me phone service and internet service? Thank you for your time.
Anyone know?
go to the wiki of your device
if it support the Hz's of the place you're going
think egypt use 900/1900 for gsm not sure if they
have 3g if they do it's most likely the hz's the rest
of the world outside of usa use
Thanks a lot for ur helped. I checked out and u were right egypt uses 900 GSM. Once again thank you for ur help.
I have an unlocked motorola Droid pro. Im using it with a vodafone sim in Egypt.
voice calls and sms are working fine, the problem is that there is no Data.
I added the Apn Settings manually but it won’t work.
in the Info Screen it reads:
"GSM Service: In service
GPRS Service: Disconnected
State: Dcinactivestate
Disconnected with last try at 1:20 pm
Fail because Unknown data error."
The reason is because the only radio Band is USA,
On other android phones i have they have more than one band.
Can I flash another radio band on the droid pro?
any advise please
You can't. I have the same problem in Kuwait.
Other users are having the same issue in other countries (Netherlands) and one user did not even get calls or SMS in Hong Kong.
I'll supply you later with a link to my problem on the Motorola support forums, you can then report your problem, maybe Motorola will take an action.

My thread is called No data connection abroad.
Thread for the Hong Kong dude: "Sim Unlocked Droid Pro does not work with China Mobile sim card or in Hong Kong".
(P.S. I'm from Egypt too. I'm really pissed the Vodafone data aint working. Try Etisalat and Mobinil too and tell me what you'll get).

Ive already sent to Motorola they haven't replied yet.
I tried an etisalat sim and it actually worked! Only edge no 3g
i hope Motorola can provide a new radio band that will resolve this issues
Does the Etisalat SIM give you 3G speeds on other Android phones?
This could be configuration issue.
Did you make sure that the Network Type is Auto?
Go to Settings -> Wireless -> Mobile Networks -> Select Network, and make sure the selected option is "Automatic Default".
Uncon, check this thread: https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/43887?tstart=0
I already mentioned your case there.
Update: You can also try to flash the SBF file & hard reset afterwards, that solved the problem for some people.
Yes it the etisalat sim was in my old hero and it has 3G speeds.
I will change my Vodafone sim today maybe it will be a sim issue.
Thanks for your support.

OK fine, please PLEASE keep me updated I can live with no data in Kuwait, but when I get back to Egypt I'll kill myself if my Pro doesn't work properly
dont put your hopes up for a fix from motorola
here is there reply:
Thanks for reaching out to Motorola. I’ve reviewed your e-mail and I’m ready to help.
If you could not connect to the internet by manually adding the APN of the Service Provider on your Motorola DROID Pro, it might not be compatible with the network. You have to use the WiFi feature of the phone instead. I'm so sorry for that inconvenience.
We hope that you find this information useful and look forward to assisting you in the future.

The issue is turning out to be quite common, so we're yet to see about their response.
Keep me updated about your trials with the new Vodafone SIM and the Etisalat SIM, thanks
Uncon,
I tried with a Wataniya SIM card (some other provider here in Kuwait) and data connection was successful once I defined the settings, with the H icon showing and all, indicating the maximum possible connection speed. My stupid Zain card is still not working though.
How about you?
Mine is working fine at china unicom, some of my friends use china mobile, they have no problem with sms or data,too. Just few can't unlock.

wow.. that's bad. Did you contact Etisalat about this? Maybe they can do something from their side.
Hello, Having the same problem with my stupid Zain Kuwait sim card, and now Im stuck with a 1 year contract with them !
Whereas Wataniya and Viva works flawlessly!
Guess Zain should change their name to something like MO Zain !

lol, I already switched to Wataniya one month ago
But actually during my trials Viva didn't work. How did you make it work?
Hey guys. I purchased a samsung galaxy s8 off craigslist. The Imei number is clean and clear, Ive checked on several websites BUT the sites can not detect WHICH device it is. However, when I throw in my tmobile sim card the internet is very slow or does not work at all, and the calls barely go in/out. It Displays 4g LTE but then it disappears sporadically. Do i have an international version? Any thoughts or consultation would be really appreciated.
P.S.the IMEI on the box and phone do not match, but I rang it in to Tmobile and it is clean and clear.
Please help guys much appreciated
Thanks
