I bought a unlock droid pro and work good in HK with EDGE data connection and GSM network. But when I go to china, sicne my sims card has another China number, it suppose to switch to use the china number. But now it is not auto switched to the china number and use the HK number in roaming mode and no EDGE data connection at all...
Anyone experience similarly like this? why and how to solve?
I am using Peoples/China mobile...

Only where I can buy it is in China Telecom, right?
It is locked on country region or smth?
I'm from Europe, will I be able to use it in my country?
Does it need to be activated in China and talk 5 minutes or smth..?
How about price? I saw it's about 660 euro, it is true?
Help will be appreciated

I thing antutu can check if it is original...so,from where are you plan to buy it?
P.s send an email to send you the info

In samsung'sweb site says that first sim slot supports 3G cdma and 3G UMTS..WHat does it mean? Umts is supported network in europe?
network info
Found G9009D's chinese manual at http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/c...inaTelecom_China_Kitkat_Chi_Rev1.0_140514.pdf
I dont know chinese but on page# 13 it shows that SIM1 needs micro-UIM and SIM2 needs micro-SIM.
I thought I could use but slots with GSM-SIM but I was wrong. Now I know that if I want to use Slot1 then I need to get UIM card (if my carrier has CDMA network and can give me UIM card) or else I cannot use Slot1 (only Slot2 with any GSM SIM).
Although my seller claims that both slots are unlocked I cannot test Slot1 until I can get a UIM card (to confirm if it is not network-locked on China telecom).

Why did you go back and delete all of your posts in this thread? That just devalues the thread for anyone who has similar questions and bothers to make a search.

Here is the solution
1- In the dial pad, enter "* # 0011 #", will enter ServiceMode interface (if no response, just wait a while and try again)
2- Click on the top right corner of the three-point menu, press Click "Back", then click on menu, select "Key Input", enter a capital Q, point "OK", and then point to the menu, select "Key Input", enter "000000", click "OK".
3- patiently waiting for 5-10 seconds, will enter the "Main Menu" menu, click "[2] UE SETTINGS & INFO", "[1] SETTING", "[1] PROTOCOL", "[3] CDMA" , "[9] CTC SIM LOCK", "[1] SIM Lock", "[2] Disable SIM Lock is"
4- when you see the future "SIM Lock is Disabled", turn off the phone, insert your UIM in slot one.
It should work now

Hello, I planning to buy a Galaxy S7 Edge with dual-sim and have read that originally only one sim of two can be active (other stays inactive). So my question would be : Is there a ROM in which would be active both sim-cards ? Thanks for little help.
That's correct. If you are on a call with SIM 1, SIM2 won't be inactive.
I'm not sure if there's any way to change this. I would guess it's a hardware/firmware function that cannot be modified.
Guys, I really need your help. I bought S7 Edge SM-G935F from Middle-East, Saudi Arabia. I didnot notice that in the box stated "MIDDLE EAST & NORTH AFRICAN SIM CARD ONLY". I bought this phone for my brother in Indonesia (South-east Asia country). Can we use this phone using Indonesian local operator SIM Card? I am afraid that it's useless already to buy this phone which is my brother won't be able to use in Indonesia.
As I read from this forum, my S7 Edge model is SM-G935F which is global version but still I have no idea whether this phone can be used in my country or not; just because of the warning sentence above. I do need your suggestion what I should do, guys. Thanks in advance for your help.
You need to use middle east SIM cards and make a call/receive call for a cumulative duration of at least 15 minutes to remove the region restriction.

So, it means that I need to use Middle East SIM card first in my country to make/recieve a call from/to another country? Then, it will be used normally & automatically functioned in my country? Thanks a bunch for your answer.
Or you can just have it (SIM) Unlocked - but you'll have to pay for the service if you can't do it yourself.
15min for the Middle East version? Hmmm the SEA version requires only 5min of call from a SEA sim card.
Not sure if free call also counts.

Any calls will do. Local or international. Make sure it is at least 15 minutes.
I use 7 edge Duos with Nigerian CSC code in Europe without problems
Thank you, guys, for all your answers.
Egyptian Sim card
Hi,
I have the Egyptian version of Galaxy S7 Edge G935F - live in New York with AT&T. It works fine except no Samsung Pay, VoLTE, WiFi-Calling. Would sim unlock or getting an Egyptian Sim card to remove region restriction be of any benefit?

No. If it's working now in NY, there is no more region restriction.
I assume you bought it from Egypt. In that case, to get VoLTE, wifi calling etc, you need to call ATT to ask if they support them on international s7 edge. It's unlikely that you can get it working since it's something to do with your baseband and csc.
Hi Everyone,
Telstra here in Australia has dropped their 2g network. The secondary sim on the Galaxy S6 DUOS runs on 2G only.
This has now rendered the secondary sim unable to register on the network and therefor cannot make or receive calls/messages on the secondary sim anymore.
Is there a way to force the secondary sim to be on the 3G network as well? (Thinking firmware?) or is this a limitation of the hardware?
Cheers,
Kris
