Hi
I've just got an unlocked Defy and put my three uk sim in it. However when I have a signal the strength indicator has an 'R' idicating that I'm roaming. How do I set the phone to recognise three as the home network?
The Access Point name must have been taken from the sim card because that seem correct. Or do I have to tell three about the new phone so they can tie the sim card to the phone?
TIA
Dave
Forget this question. I think it was because I was switching from a Blackberry and they had to remove the blackberry addon and then add a normal internet addon. The 'R' has disappeared now.

I searched around and the web is flooded with the verizon and sprint phone not being able to connect to data. I have a customer who has an unbranded GSM nexus and it wont connect to mobile data. I swaped sim cards with my phone and my phone connected to data with his sim but his phone would not connect to data with my sim. I checked tha APNs and both phones are exactly the same. Both phones are samsung. Mine is an unloccked infuse. We are both useing O2 in germany. What do you guys think.
Set up a new APN with the same settings.
I found on the bottom right had corner a menu button. I am not to familiar with 4.0 yet. i found the reset to default button in there. I het that and let it sit for a few minutes while it did its thing. All is good now. Thank you for the suggestion though.
funny thing is, is that all the settings are exactly the same as before. No idea why it happend but its working now.
Hi , new to HTC forum,
I 'm facing a really strange problem with my HTC ONE X
I can;t connect to WCDMA networks at all. When I go into Network Selection , If I choose the WCDMA only option the phone goes offline plus in search for networks setting, returns, Error Searching For Networks
When I switch back to GPRS or GPRS/WCDMA Auto option , I got full bar signal with Edge connection.
The day before I was facing several connectivity issues, mostly sim went off and on again , due to bad cut - I think- of the sim card
The sim card I'm using now is also a cut version of a normal sim card. Is it possible that the bad sim card can damage something on the reception of the phone, or the new one does not fit well inside the phone(althought it is carefully cutted there are some tinny gaps between the card and the card holder) that causes?
I think that if this was an antenna option i wouldn't got any signal at all.
I have already arrange to change the sim card to a new already micro sim card
I'm trying to avoid sending my phone to service because the customer support is horrible here in Greece
Any help or opinion would be appreciated
Thanks in advance!
Hi Guys.
So received the phone on Thursday, Friday I did a sim swap from my normal sized sim to a micro sim. I waited the whole day but the phone didn't have any network access.
Today when I woke up I I switched the phone on hoping that everything will be fine, thinking the simswap just hasn't gone through yet, still no network access. I took out the swim from the phone and switched with my ipad, the sim was working in the ipad, and the ipads sim also didnt give the phone network access.
In the top right corner it shows full bars in grey, cant make emergency calls or anyhting.
In the about section of the phone, I have ALL the details present, baseband version is there, kernel version is there.
In Status section, network is unkown, signal strenght is -83 dbm 15 asu, network type unkown, service state is out of service, and the rest is also present.
I thought the phone didn't properly register to a network, so went into settings - wireless networks - more settings - mobile networks, but it gives me a insert sim card message.
The phone is reading the simcard fine because it asked for the PIN when switching on.
When trying to make a call I get, it says "Not registered on network"..
So what am I to do? Vodacom can only pickup the phone and exchange it on Tuesday, so was hoping that this might just be a software issue that can be resolved by a flash.
I have tried resetting / hard resetting the phone numerous times.
Its the Note 2 N7105 LTE Version
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Wrong forum.
hi. i just got this phone in the states before coming down to panama. it is verizon, but i called them and they gave me the code and now the phone is unlocked....but i can't get coverage here in panama. i've tried sim cards from a few of the local operators and none of them seem to work. i sure hope someone can help....here's what i've done so far: (oh, pls b patient, i'm a bit of a technophobe)
-unlocked sim. phone gives me sim lock is disabled message....that means i'm good to go, right/
-set phone to gsm only mode.
-software is androaid version 2.3.4
verizon global services told me that everything was as it should be and that the phone should work w/ a local sim card so i'm not really sure where to turn to......hopefully someone here can help. verizon also told me that the phone should work on the frequencies here. i have a claro sim card, but have also tried movistar, digicel, and masmovil. i was told that they use either 850 or 1900.
so, i'm totally stumped. hopefully i'm missing something stupid....btw, tried the sim in other phones (from europe and panama) and it worked w/ them. don't think it's a hadrware problem, but am i missing something? is there a setting change? do i need some kind of software update?
thanks!
update- get cell phone reception w/ gps on
don't know if this will help anyone get to the bottom of this issue, but i realized that when i have the gps on, i get full bar coverage. unfortunately, i can't leave the app on in the background. this makes me think it could be a hardware issue....bad antenna? anyone have any ideas
Same problem
I have the same issue as OP. Got my phone sim unlocked, and it runs on SenseMOD-2012-05-18-225643 Android 4.0.4.
For once I did a factory reset, skipped verizon activation (can´t do and won´t work because I´m not in the USA and do not have a verizon SIM or service), set my network preference to GSM/WCDMA, and the network wasn´t working.
Rebooted, my network is identified as soon as it starts, but then it goes to "No Service". Try to search for network but my carrier does not appear.
Any help?
EDIT:
Playing around with the phone, setting GSM as your network and restarting the phone let me make phone calls. No internet though and the APN was configured correctly. The "E" symbol for the internet blinked once in a while, but never got service.
Also, playing around some more, got my phone to not recognize the network again by removing the SIM another time. This sucks.
I purchased an unlocked zoom that I cannot get connected to metro pcs network. The sim from my zte zmax is same size so I thought I'd be able to at worse change some apn settings & go but have gotten no-where. This phone has single sim & sd slot. I get greyed out signal bars & I believe a red x. It can see t-mobile lte network & others but I don't see metro....which is the same as t-mobile. I can see metro's on the other phone. I'm trying to not go thru metro since they'll deactivate the old phone for sure & I want to keep it as back up if needed. Is there a trick to getting this to work. I thought it was as simple as moving the sim from 1 & installing in another. Any help is appreciated.
