Hey, im using cyanogen mod (info at the bottom)
I've been travelling lately, and used my G1 in spain, france, poland, germany, italy with no problems.
The moment i crossed la-manche channel everything went offline.
Sometimes i get registered on the network (via roaming) but im unable to place calls or send text messages.
I bought the phone on ebay back when i was in Poland. i think guy was selling it because it was locked in UK... it wasnt a problem untill now, how do i unlock it ?
And what kind of lock is this ? sim lock ? i tried local pre-paid, or subscription cards and they dont work aswell :<
the fact that it was orking with my polish sim card from play, orange and era (i used different providers over time) with no problems makes me all confused.
maybe its something else, like a radio problem ? i think i've uploaded the latest one...
Im not a holder of original owners information, i dont even have acontact with the guy so dont tell me to call t-mobile, cause that wont work propably.. and i cannot placea call anyways :[
Phone info:
T-Mobile G1_1.22.12.29
Kernel version:
2.6.29.6 - cyanogenmod shade toxygene
Mod version: CyanogenMod - 4.2.15.1
Build number : DRC83
Sounds like its been reported stolen. This phone will never work in the UK again.
go to www.checkmend.co.uk, register an account & run a check on your phone (will cost about £2) this will tell you if the phone has ever been reported Lost or Stolen & if it is currently blocked in the UK.
Or if you like you can drop me the IMEI number & i can check for you with the work account & let you know what it says
Yes, I need help and guidance for this new Note 3 that my wife received gift from my mother-in-law (a bit jealous at that time) when we were in India but so far unable to use in UK network for long.
phone details:
Model number - SM-N900
Android version - 4.4.2
Baseband version - N900DDUDNA1
Kernal version -
3.4.39-679903

Device Status - Official
The phone was sold to us as International unlocked phone in last week of february, we didn't put any SIM but once started the phone in Mumbai it didn't ask for any regional lock or sim unlock code so we were satisfied that phone is unlocked. We didn't test it with any SIM in India though. First we put the SIM in UK and as usual it didn't prompt for unlock code etc. straight we got signal on Three uk network
but signal only lasted around 1min. When I checked signal strength it kept changing and the phone gets no signal. Have been in constant touch with 3 Network in UK(london area) and they are confirming that this phone can work in UK on there network without any issue unless there is a hardware fault.
I have spent numerous hours resetting the phone/ selecting network/ trying SIMs from different provider but signal comes and goes. When its there I can make and receive calls without any problem.
Once I made a call for more than 12 mins but signal doesn't last that much anymore.
It goes like this in Mobile Network type - H --> H+ --> HSDPA then drops (with signal strenth -113dBm 0 asu) when asu is higher it works. All this happens within a minute time frame. The wifi works fine hence software updated.
Now I feel there is problem in its Antenna but I need expert advise before I send it back to India as Samsung UK refused to fix it since phone is not bought in UK (though I was ready to pay for it) but now I guess they don't have anybody in UK to repair such phones.
Please suggest to fix this issue if you or people in your network have had such issue before and how do I resolve it?
Kind regards,

it s too far to be hardware problem.
u can do this;
1. flash SM-N900 UK ROM /u can find firmware on sammobile.com/firmware
or
2. flash just its modem firmware /u can find in dev section
if nothing happen after 2-3 times flashing different stock firmware of uk and modem u should ask for replacement.
:good:

Many thanks for reply as suggested
for option 1 - I tried before and now as well on sammobile when I select N900 I do not get UK in the country dropdown list to select the different firmware, whatever firmware they have for india is already updated on my phone
that leaves option 2 which I am more interested in because when I restart the modem using any app it comes back quickly but again goes dead.
I am new user so can't post any request in Dev section and searched but couldn't find it. is there any specific search term I need to use to get modem firmware for UK for my N900?

Please let me know if the problem got solved, i have the same problem, one more question for you, do u have kit kat installed on your phone?
Hello,
I am currently in Japan and my device does not manage to connect to Docomo network, it simply doesn't find anything when manually searching for networks.
With my home simcard it eventually found Softbank network, although i had to travel long distances until it worked and if I reboot I'm back to square one. With the japanese sim, it has never worked.
I know the hardware supports it so at this point i'm thinking about the modem, but which modem should I flash for it to work in japan (and east asia area possibly?). I looked around in the forums but didn't find a definite answer.
I am currently running OmegaDroid v40 (android 4.4.2 and baseband XXUFNC9)
Any help or tips would be appreciated as my situation make it extremely painful to live without phone or internet access !
Thanks in advance!
Bump, nobody has any input or experience with S4 in Japan ?
Hello, I currently have a Verizon galaxy s5 with a Three UK SIM, I can access 3g and make calls without a problem BUT my problem is I cannot access 4g data or even send any text messages! I've searched high and low for solutions but have not found anything.
I have managed to troubleshoot the text messaging problem and have discovered that I cannot send anybody a text message when there is a 44 (UK) in front of their number. Which is very annoying as I would have to change people's numbers all the time.
I also have another question that I cannot find an answer for; would it be at all possible to install another firmware (different model number) so that it basically turns my phone into a English handset instead of an American one? or maybe install a custom firmware to remove the original origin of the phone?
I hope this makes sense to you guys as I must have read a zillion websites today, I think my head is about to explode!
You already made a thread about this exact issue

Hello everybody
Recently received a Samsung Galaxy S5 originally from Verizon. The Phone works really well Outstanding performance ! but it has no service. Explanatio: I live in Cuba here the cellular operator is Cubacell operates on GSM. The phone finds the signal and notifies in "avaliable networks" tha Cubacel is Available... But fails registering on the network, and i don't know what to do... many technicians already "diagnose" the phone and most of them says is a problem qith QCN file, but what really worries me most is that Board IMEI is not the same the cell shows on *#06# .. so i found all these really tricky since i'm new in Android cause my previous phone was an HTC Windows Phone 8x that suddenly died and revived with no service either (a strange case for other post i hope) The S5 is SiM unlocked everybody says, besides every verizon phone is gsm unlocked by default don't they? The dark story of it is that the phone was previously unlocked for use in another company in the US and was working there perfectly. Right now the phone is running Lollipop, and no problems with WiFi restriction for Cuba so far... Registered on Samsung, on chat they send me to verizon saying phone is locked but i don't think thats the real problem...
So i'm wondering if anybody could help .... since in my country everything is so hard to get ja! and the acces to Octoplus Box or Z3X is expensive.. very...
Phone Details:
Model SM-G900V Android 5.0 Baseband G900VVRU2BOK3
Kernel 3.4.0 Build LRX21T.G900VVRU2BOK3 Hardware G900V.00
Security MDF v1.1 release 4 VPN v1.4 release 4.1
KNOX 2.3 Configuration J13.SAM.SMG900V.1
Thanks a million in advance and greetings from Cuba...
