Hi All,
I've found this little different in almost all the Samsung phones.
While searching for mobile operators my Note 2 wasn't able to show up 3G specific network as a seperate one.
But where as in Sony phones or Micromax devices i was clearly able to select 2G or 3G network from the Network operators list.
Can i know why isnt this with samsung??
Note:3G Networks are availabe in my city(Hyderabad,India).
In samsung:
Vodafone IN
Airtel
Cellone
Idea
In Other Devices:
Vodafone IN (2G)
Vodafone IN (3G)
Airtel (2G)
Airtel (3G)

Thanks for the reply
But i couldnt find anything as such.It just has only one naming for a network provider.
Does it has anything to do with the sim. My sim is 6-7 years old one by then there was no 3G in India.
yeah older SIM won't work.

I have a T-Mobile Version of HTC Touch Pro 2.
Can somebody please confirm if this mobile will work with 3G Asian Bands ??
or
In simple words, can i use the 3G Feature available in countries like India or Singapore with the T-Mobiles version of HTC Touch Pro 2 ???
Please advise !!!!
PS : And forgive me if this question is a repeat from earlier threads. I read few threads. But i didnt see a definite answer for this.
AFAIK T-Mobile TP2 uses UMTS 1700/2100.
According to http://www.gsmworld.com/roaming/gsminfo/cou_in.shtml there is no 3G network in India yet.
And for Singapore http://www.gsmworld.com/roaming/gsminfo/cou_sg.shtml 3G is available on 2100.
3G in India
Yes - We do have 3G services in India. Iam not even looking at the link that you gave.
Iam quiet sure, BSNL India is offering various 3G services from Corporate Services to DATA transfer services.
I may be wrong, But to my knowledge, we do have 3G servies here for over 12 months...
I agree... I can't see India not having 3G. Sounds like the GSM alliance needs to update their site.

Well, their site also says that T-Mobile doesn't have 3G.
Wikipedia Data
Data from Wikipedia -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Deployed_UMTS_networks
This is my understanding...
T0 my knowledge,
Universal 3G Standard is UMTS2100. Tmobile Touch Pro 2 supports that anyway.
Not just for US, But also for most of the other countries UMTS2100 is a standard 3G path.
IT SHOULD WORK FINE ACROSS THE WORLD. UK VODAPHONE provide 3G access via UMTS2100. I havent read the details for BSNL 3G service in India, becos i didnt find the details anywhere ! But one of my friend who bought a same Tmobile's Android version phone works fine with BSNL's 3G. Iam quiet sure BSNL uses the same thingy....
And to quote another example, 3 Top mobile operators in Singapore (ASIA) --- * Mobile One, * StarHub and * Singapore Telecom Mobile Pvt. Ltd., offer 3G at UMTS 2100.
As a matter of fact, with respect to design - Tmobile offering of Touch Pro 2 is more reliable and more sturdy than the original version of TP2. It is just the fanciness that takes lead for the original version which are more prone to scratches.
I may be wrong.... Please let me know if you have more details and correct me if iam wrong................

Thank you so much for your answer on this.
I assumed that. But some folks here and outside this community were broadcasting that US version phones wont work in Asia and Europe.
Even one member in this forum PM'ed me tht Tmobiles version wont work in Asia.
thanks for ur time to get me an reply on this sir...
hi, i have a brand new rhodium t-mobile version, flashed with the nrg rom feb 1st.
when i use the data connection the phone connects to the edge network, while the same sim card connects to 3g/H on a motorola milestone. i read on google that 2 or 3 users (the phone isn't sell in argentina) that have the same problem...
the 3g network in argentina works in the 1900/850 band, so i have it configured that way but it doesn't work.
does anyone knows how to solve this, please?
thanks in advance

3G with the T-Mobile version (RHOD210) works on the 1700/2100 MHz AWS spectrum. You will not be able to use 3G on your network with this device. There is no fix or work around. This is a hardware limitation.
EDIT: You should have gotten the Tilt2 (RHOD300). This is the AT&T branded version that has radio hardware which supports your network.

ok, last question, why in the band section it has the option to use 1900/850 Mhz?

that´s what i thought that it would work..

If it truly does support switching bands, as the link you posted would indicate:
http://support.t-mobile.com/doc/tm5...5611&navtypeid=6&pagetypeid=7&prevPageIndex=5
Then, I would recommend flashing the Stock ROM. Then see if you can get it to work with the stock T-Mobile ROM. If you can, then it probably is possible to do it using an Energy ROM as well. But, I don't think it is possible.
I am not that familiar with T-Mobile phones, since I use an AT&T Tilt 2. It seems unlikely that this would work, since in the United States even the T-Mobile HD2 doesn't get 3G when SIM unlocked and switched to use the AT&T network with an AT&T SIM.

That band switching feature is to set network preferences for your carrier outside of the US. The radio hardware does not support UMTS 3G. You will only be able to get EDGE speeds at best from this device on your carrier. You need the RHOD300 (Tilt2) to get 3G on your network.
that´s a bummer
thanks for your answers

You can use an SIM Unlocked device on any GSM carrier. The main issue is you have to check the frequencies it uses for 3G. They may not work on your provider & therefore you won't get 3G.
AT&T Samsung Focus 3G frequencies as per GSMArena are;
"3G Network HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100"

Hello
I bought a Galaxy Nexus i515 on eBay, but I live in Spain.
In description say "CLEAN ESN"
My question is if I can use this phone to WCDMA or GSM once released.
Here in Spain we no longer have CDMA and knowing that the network is using the phone, I wanted to know if installing a radio or something could make it work.
Thank's for the answers.
Greetings.

Hi.
This first point I understand, but I can change CDMA to WCDMA?
I only need network for make calls.
WCDMA is fully functional on my country and is a solution for my problem.

no.
you said the country does not have CDMA, so therefore, YOU CANNOT USE THE I515 (VERIZON NEXUS) IN SPAIN.

Ok, I understand everything.
Thank's for your answer, but I have another and last question.
The LTE network is independent of CDMA or GSM networks. In this case and With The LTE (4G) avaliable on Spain, can be used In this mode, no?
Sorry for all my questions and thank you very much for your time.

YOU CANNOT USE THE PHONE IN SPAIN IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM OTHER THAN WIFI.
end of thread.
As far as I know, the i515 does not do voice over lte. Also, if I remember correctly the i515 still depends on CDMA for authentication before it can use the lte.
Also, wcdma is not anywhere near the same thing as CDMA.
As the person above me has said, the only use able network part in your phone is the Bluetooth and WiFi. Everything else is incompatible with your country's network type.

Not enough info. Need the phone's CID, and what 3G (UMTS) bands used by your carrier.

I Google and found this CID for my phone spcs_001. I got to know this from terminal emulator. Sorry but I don't know what band is used by my carrier.but I recently took 4g sim from my carrier which is working great on my brothers phone but not on my phone。I am using Airtel's 4g SIM and not able to use even 3g on it .

Thanks, I have called my carrier and they advised that 2100 for UMTS (3G) and 2300 LTE (4g) band is used by Airtel.

You have the Sprint version of the phone (based on CID) which should be compatible with 2100 MHz (UMTS). This phone does not support 2300 LTE, but you may already be aware of that.
Are you sure your carrier's APN info is entered correctly?
You sure 3G worked for a week? Any changes that happened that could have have changed that?
Thanks for sharing this detail, I was not aware about the 4g which you mentioned. Yes my APN is correct and i have crossed checked with my carrier as well. And yes i have used 3g for a week and after that I took another SIM from my carrier(Airtel) 4g sim and just after that my 3g stopped working.
And I have checked my new sim in another phone so it's working fantastic but not in my phone. and I have checked my brother SIM in my phone so even that sim's 3g is not working on my phone. I could not understand all of sudden what went wrong which it stopped working.

Check the APN again, and that is the currently selected, active APN. All I can think, is that inserting another SIM changed the APN.
I checked again, but still same issue. What should I do any suggestion. Or could this be a software or hardware issue how to know this. Any idea
