Hi I'm in Italy and have a S8 bought via Vodafone and it doesn't have the Places tab active (I know for sure it works in Italy) in Dialer app. I checked and my firmware is not the Vodafone one but the generic Italian one and this actually make sense since I can't find any kind of customization in the software or the phone itself.
So my doubt is...a part the firmware version, some functions, like this one, are also active or not based on the carrier you're using? I should try to find another operator SIM card and try, meanwhile someone can confirm this theory?
Guys any suggestion?

Hi. Currently my g3 prophet works only as a pda The phone function doesn't. It is somehow unable to detect any network. Does anyone know how to confirm whether if this is a hardware problem or a software problem.
I don't know whether if it is because I switched roms. Bad news is I don't have my original rom...which is the dopod 818pro here in malaysia. I've tried several radio roms too and no luck with those eithers which leaves me to think that it could be an hardware issue.
Hopefully someone might be able to help me out without maybe troubleshooting steps for a newbie. Thanks in advance.
I want to add that i tried opening the SIM manager to see if it is a sim card connection issue and I'm able to see the sim card properties, ie like the memory size and so on which to me means that the unit can speak with the sim card.
I've already flashed to the most basic rom which is an original that is from the wiki and tried all the available radio roms below.
RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_QtekWWE_Ship
Prophet_G3_G4_RadioRom_v2.07.20.exe
Prophet_G3_G4_RadioRom_v2.19.21.exe
Prophet_G3_G4_RadioRom_v2.20.21.exe

Prophet_G3_G4_RadioRom_v2.61.21.exe
Prophet_G3_G4_RadioRom_v2.69.21.exe
Am I missing any other things that i need to do/try?
Ok.After spending a whole day trying to figure out whats wrong...I tried a different sim(from a different service provider) which now works.
At first maybe I thought it would be sim locked so I got hold of lokiwiz to unlock. However after running the program, it tells me that the phone was never locked.
So now I'm back to square one. Does anyone else from Malaysia have this problem? I'm trying to use Maxis (which doesn't work) while inserting a Digi one will.
hmmm strange. bought mine in malaysia as well. no problems after i upgraded radio roms & also touch 7 & 8. works in malaysia, europe & now new zealand, roaming & using 'local' sim cards
phones in malaysia are never sim locked maaa AFAIK
maybe it is a sim card issue. some sims are 64kb & others are 128kb?

Yeah thats the thing...i KNOW that phones in malaysia are never sim locked but I couldn't think of any other explanation for the strange behaviour except that. I didn't think that sim cards could cause such issues as I am very sure other users must be using Maxis like with the prophet without a problem.
I've tried out a few different friend's sim cards (some of which are from the same carrier as i am) and it works. I guess something is wrong with mine although it works in their phones though. Some stupid compatibility issue? Never heard of this before though.
New rom for Vodafone UK devices from HTC Enjoy
http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportDownloadList.aspx?p_id=314&act=sd&cat=2
Does this ROM contain all the apps supplied when buying the phone from Vodafone, like MS Office, Outlook etc?
Also any idea if it voids the Vodafone warranty - just seems strange how its not on the Vodafone website.
Thanks Simon
Brilliant - any idea what functionality this adds? Or is it just a radio update?
I'm wondering if someone can upload the rom somewhere.
Thanks a lot
I installed this ROM and lower buttons stopped working. I'm also not able to make calls.
Hi.
I live in the Philippines and my carrier Globe has recently (august) started to roll out the option for Carrier Billing.
But no matter what i try i cannot get that option when i am in Play store.on my S4.
I tested it on my girlfriends Note 2, and she was able to select that option. We are both postpaid and the accounts are both in my name.
I´ve cleared the data and cache from Play store. Still the same issue. I´ve been in contact with my carrier but they seem painfully unaware on how the issue can be resolved.
Now, the thing that differs from my S4 and the gf´s Note is that her phone is inly rooted while mine have a custom rom as well.
I don´t remember the name of the rom sadly.
But i hope that a screenshot may do some good? h**tp://imgur.com/JsEVt0f
Another thing that may or may not make a difference is the Android version. Or am i completely wrong?
Hopefully someone could shed some light over this.
Thank you in advance

Hi ,
Maybe you CSC is not the right one
CSC; - Customer Sales Code;
This value can vary depending on who sold you the handset or if it is branded, if Orange sold you the handset, it will most likely have ORA as a CSC code. If Car Phone warehouse sold it to you, it would be CPW or XEU, this is in relation with your product code and changing the CSC code can change the product code held in nv_data.bin. The CSC firmware file contains a list of definitions for determining which network you are connected to.
Aah.
So if i flash it with a newer firmware that is a stock carrier firmware it should work?
Going from I9505DXUBMG5 to I9505XXUGNH8 in that case.
4.2.2 to 4.4.2
Hi everyone;
I really need help and input from you guys.
I bought Dual sim Edge with UAE firmware. I looked on the forums and there are recommendations but mostly from people in Europe so I am not 100% sure how would some of those firmwares perform on US networks.
I use T-Mobile as my main SIM and AT&T as secondary (with SD card mod)
Everything works fine but there is few things missing in OEM firmware. I would really like to get VoLTE, video calling on T-mobile and Samsung Pay working.
Are there any of you using same phone model that can recommend firmware that would address all these issues?
I do not mind re-flashing and deleting data if I can get what I am asking for.
Also can i flash 935U firmware on 935FD? I had it on my single sim Edge and it was great.

This thread is great for Samsung Pay. I'm in the US on T-Mobile, latest DBT firmware, SPay v2.2.02 and SPay Framework v2.4.02. Seems like some guys have it working with v2.3.00/v2.5.00. I'd love to get the latest version working for the online pay features....
VoLTE and T-Mo video calling.... eh, still haven't found a fix on that one yet. At least not one that also allows SPay. I remember a thread a while back where guys claimed success with VoLTE on the Czech T-Mo firmware, but I haven't tried it. WiFi calling would be nice, too. Until SPay is out in more countries, sounds like you have to pick and choose your features. Others here may have learned more since then, though.
Hey everyone!
I have a problem that´s probably a bit stupid. First the facts:
- I bought a TA-1068 from a (as I now know) shady reseller on the Internet (https://www.guterkauf.com.de/de_DE/) - never buy from them...
- I live in Europe
- Problem: The TA-1068 is (as I understand it...) suited for Hong Kong & Taiwan.
- When I now put a european SIM-card into the phone it doesn´t find it and I get a "no SIM-card" error. Everything else works, I can set up a Google account etc. This means I cannot use the phone as it is right now.
My question for you is: Is there a softwarefix for this, or is there no way I can ever use this phone with a european SIM-card?
Nokia already told me they have no way to help me (because it´s a Hong Kong device) and the shady reseller doesn´t admit that the phone is unusable to me and their support sends me in circles.
Kind regards,
Hauke
This is a Nokia 6.1 TA-1068.
Which firmware is your Nokia 6.1 running? Dial *#*#227#*#* and tell me the version displayed.
Also you can test if SIM card contact works by dialing *#*#372733#*#*.

Hello and thanks for answering!
The Version is shown as: PL2-326F-0-00WW-01
And the SIM Card test only shows "Test passed? No" - so i suppose the device has no contact to the SIM card...
Soo...I suppose there is no solution then?
