It won't work. It is a hardware limitation of the device. You either need to buy a device that supports Bell's LTE frequency OR live with HSPA+. The only thing I can suggest is getting a new SIM card, BUT I highly doubt it will work.

[Official] Galaxy Note 2 Discussion China

Hi,
This thread is for Chinese or people who live in China. You can discuss problem related to the Chinese version of the phone.
In China we have the N7100/N7105 and N7102 versions

Re: [Official] Galaxy Note 2 for Chinese user
If some of you get the problem "NOT REGISTERED ON NETWORK" after flashing a custom ROM here is the solution(thanks to zuleamu.
Well to be honest zuleamu found the solution but it was there all along on this thread from Ariza27->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1918601
When you use Ariza27 solution don't be stiff and press the THANKS button.

Not a lot of Chinese users here.

Well, Chinese users usually prefer forums in Mandarin. I think the problems of the N7102 are pretty well documented in the N7102 thread. Any news if Samsung China has done anything to solve them?

Well if you know it's a fake, there is not much we can do for you here.

I live in mainland China (Beijing) and own the GT-N7100; my unit is the international version from Hong Kong to be more precise.
The guy who sold the phone to me (a friend's friend...) said that it was lock-free and that I would be able to use any SIM card in it.
While it didn't matter too much at first, it does now. I bought a China Telecom SIM card hoping it would work but it doesn't seem to.
I don't know anything about phones to be honest, but I'm usually okay with electronics and gadgets and I've been playing around for a bit.
My problem is the following: When I scan for network, I am only able to find CMCC (China Mobile) and China Unicom networks. I tried changing some stuff in the settings and playing with the *#197328640# menu, following my friend's advice, but it didn't help.
Is that specific model incompatible with China Telecom networks and unable to use CDMA2000? (It's supposedly unlocked/sim free....)
My baseband version is N7100BUALI8 and the build number is JRO03C.N7100ZSALJ2.
As I said, I don't understand phones too well yet. I read those forums a bit but I'm still confused.
Is my modem not adapted to mobile networks in China? Do I need to change settings somewhere?
I didn't root the phone either by the way.
Please Haaaalp!

Hey, in reference to the China Telecom...I am not sure that you will be able to access that network, I am not sure about the technology that they use. I know that you can use EDGE with either China Mobile or China Unicom, but, I know that Telecom sometimes uses some lesser-known standards for 3G. I have never actually tried to use their GSM network, as over my 10 years here, I have never had access to it. I don't know how helpful that is...
I also use N7100 (International Unlocked Version) in Shanghai. I only have access to China Mobile (2G) and China Unicom (3G).
CDMA is not a GSM compatible technology.
Rooting only has to do with the file structure, nothing to do with the modem on the phone.
Anyways, I hope something I said helps.

Cda9er is right above. China Telecom doesnt use GSM technology as long as i think as they are using CDMA for their network.
China mobile - GSM for 2G but TD-SCDMA for 3G
China Unicom - GSM for both 2G and 3G (Perfect for our internation GT-N7100)
China Telecom - CDMA for 2G and 3G (I think)
So you can either use 2G china mobile as i am using or use 3G from China Unicom. Hope this helps.

I'd like to thank both of you for clarifying that! Exactly the answer I was looking for.
I had the feeling that it had to do with the technology used by the different phone companies.
I've been with China Unicom for a year now but I find their connection very unreliable.
Their 3G plans are kind of expensive and the network has a lot of weak/blind spots... I'll probably resell this phone and get another one compatible with China Telecom.
Thanks for all the replies guys!

Re: [Official] Galaxy Note 2 for Chinese user
TD-SCDMA is China mobile home grown 3G. You need their own phone to use their 3G and it's not as fast as the China Unicom. Normal N7100 won't have 3G on their network.

Hi everyone. I hope brothers from China will try the latest DMC1 firmware and tell us the xhanges, improvements or new features... By now it is aviable through Kies..

I'm going to stay in Guangzhou for a few months, looks like China Unicom is the only option. How much are the sim cards ?, I'm not too bothered about calls more interested in the mobile internet a few hundred MB should be ok.

I pay 39RMB(6 USD)/month for 600MB of 3G and it includes some calls and sms(I don't know how many) but my wife pays 29RMB(4.60USD) and she has 360MB/3G and she make a lot of phone calls and sms and she never runs out.

Sounds good, so I assume it's ok to purchase just a sim on it's own and do you have to pay upfront for the whole 12 months ?.

No need to pay 12 months in advance. But you need to go at China Unicom. If you buy a Sim card on these little shop you don't have 3G. You need to register with your passport at China Unicom.

Ok that's great, so stay away from the small shops and goto a proper China Unicom store and remember to take my passport :good:

Actually the Sim cards from the little shops are not bad, but you will have to go to Unicom anyway to activate the 3G so it's better to go right away, sometimes they have specials.

N7105
What about N7105 which suppose to be a 4G LTE phone? Can N7105 get 3G or 4G data in China? Seems China Mobile Hong Kong has 4G LTE. Does China Mobile or other cell phone company in mainland China have 4G LTE?

[Q] Can I flash a USA Sprint LG G2 to International or EU carrier?

Hello guys, it is my first post here! I tried searching for my specific question but I did only find hints, not a true answer.
I'm about to change my phone soon, I come from iOS world so please don't be too hard on me if what I ask is stupid or evident for you (as it would not necessarily be the case for me ).
I am right now looking at a Sprint 32GB version of a LG G2, it does have a bad ESN with Sprint. Obviously it is not high priced since ESN is bad. I understand a little that ESN is linked to WMCA networking, which is specific to each carrier. It is the same as connecting to data with Sprint or Verizon or AT&T, or in my area, SFR, Orange, Bouygues, Vodafone... Am I right?!
From what I've read, it would be best for me to search for a regular phone instead if I was in USA. But I live in Europe, so I don't care about not being able to connect to Sprint network.
If I flash/root this phone with an EU stock ROM or International ROM (or even a custom ROM, since a lot are available here), will I be able to connect to my local carriers' networks?
Regarding your advices I will or will not buy this phone.
Sorry if my english is bad, & Thanks in advance! :good:

If you're saying that you're gonna buy the Sprint version because it's good in price and you live in Europe. Just check the bands which the Sprint version supports and the bands which your network provider in Europe provides. If they are compatible then no worries. Just make sure that you only flash ROMs etc which are made for the Sprint variant. I think you would also need to unlock the device which I'm not sure about.
Still, the best thing to do us to buy the international variant(D802) which is not locked if you also can't figure out how to unlock.

Sprint does not support 2100 frequency. 3g hspa HSDPA so on use the above mentioned frequency. According to my knowledge India uses 2100 frequency band. So unfortunately you'll not be able to use 3g in India with the sprints version.
Try for at&t version

You will have to input APN settings manually.

Actually bro everything is fine with the setting I guess, as I have tried a different sim as well, whenever i enable data it does not show "E" on the notification bar as it Use to show before I could only see GSM inside a small circle when ever i activate net there is no "E" at all. All the problems started when I updated the cell via OTA update initially when I got the cell it was ZV7, now after the update its ZVA and not able to Use net since then. Please find the attached screen shot about the GSM showing up when i enable data.

it will not show E on stock rom unless u make some changes,
thats how Sprint rom reports network.
Other roms ull see E and H.

Pin Unlocked Code From Brazil

Last month I bougth one Galaxy S5 in San Francisco's BestBuy, I ask for the Unlocked version for Brazil and Ask for the seller this mobile work in Brazil ? The seller say: Yes.
When I arive in my country I tested my sim card and this SIM card doens't work.
I call for the Samsung in Brazil and the USA Samsung.
I Call for my carrier in Brazil(VIVO)
After I found my guide and discovered that it was a North Africa and Middle East Version.
The model is SM-G900H.
I don't know about the my mobile carrier.
I don't know what to do.
Thank you.

fffft said:
Best Buy in San Francisco sold you a 900H phone? That is rather strange as there are no US carriers that use the 900H. I can only presume that they resold a used trade in phone that originated in some other country. You should look under the battery and confirm that you really have a 900H model. AFAIK, Brazil carriers use the 900M variant. Which means that if you really have a 900H it will probably have gaps in it's coverage with your carrier in Brazil.
Confirm that you really have a 900H model.
Ask your Carrier (Vivo) what frequency bands they use in their network
Go to the Samsung website and look up the specs for the 900H phone and see what bands the model supports.
If the phone is missing any Vivo bands, then you will be subject to more congestion and dropped calls than you would with the correct model. And if you are in a smaller town where less frequencies are in use, you may find no coverage at all.
As to the "pin lock", you didn't really describe what you mean.. but it's probably a SIM (carrier) or region lock, rather than lock screen pin. If so then you need to purchase an unlock code from a third party vendor on Ebay or other online site to unlock it for use with Vivo.

This model is right, I checked in my phone. SM-900H. But the VIVO Can't help me. I don't know what I do can I buy one pin code on cellunlocker or another website ?

fffft said:
You should first ask Vivo what frequency bands their system uses. If the 900H phone won't work well on the Vivo system, everything else is moot.
As to unlocking, you would have to get a SIM unlock code AKA IMEI unlock code (PIN) from Ebay or another online unlocking site. Not Vivo. Also consider if you want to make a claim against Best Buy or not? Do you want to try returning the phone because they sold you the wrong model or not?
Good luck.

Today I recive this e-mail
Gabriel,
It seems you may still not be receiving our responses.
Often, the unlocked phones require a 5 minute phone call be made with a North American SIM card before they're fully functional throughout the world.
Is there someone in San Francisco you can send the phone to? They could then bring it in to us and we could attempt to unlock it for you. If we cannot, I will refund the item.
Thanks,

Looking at India's bands on Wikipedia, I can tell you that you'll face some issues. Aircel uses band 40 which is not available in the US version. But of course available in the -rest of the world- version.
