Hello, I've got a brand new unlocked Samsung Galaxy Note II LTE yesterday and I have a bit of a problem. I have an Orange sim card but can't use it somehow, i have every other network selection (EE, o2, 3 etc) but no Orange selection in settings, and if I pick automatic selection and try to call or anything it says that there is no mobile connection. But on my previous android phone the orange sim card works fine. Any idea why?
Try apn settings.

nah,i mean when it's not the problem with APN, the ones which were set were on EE network (tried to change to Orange, still the same). When i try to call it says: "Mobile network not available". And when i try to search for networks it only finds 2 EE's, o2 - UK, 3 UK and vodafone UK. No orange or t-mobile or anything. And i can see my orange phone number in settings along with voicemail notification (which i can't listen to on this phone)
Didn't orange merge with t mobile to form EE anyway? Can you not use EE?
I know my mates t mobile pay as you go sim switched to EE automatically.

I don't think so, because on my other android phone i can pick orange or t-mobile network and on note II there's non of that and if i pick EE it says "Not registered on network"

hi,
i have a t mobile uk desire unlocked and debranded, i was using both t mobile and orange while in uk, i am in belgium now, i was using the uk sim but because of high roaming charge i changed my sim, i got base network sim, but everytime i turn on my phone it says limited service. anyone knows the problem? please help me.
i am using froyo( pays desire froyo sense v1.9).
That's strange. My new operator uses the BASE network and it works perfectly. However, since I've changed the sim card I get a sim card setting error during startup. Probably some phone settings that are automatically sent to BeNeLux Desires (Belgium Netherlands Luxembourg). But foreign devices need to configure it manually.
Hi Guys,
The problem I have with all networks except in uk t-mobile, the other orange, vodafone, o2. When trying to connect to the o2 message pops up: "unable to connect to this network at this time. Please try again later" on t-mobile grabs network without any problem. The problems began when I came to the UK to Poland was all too dobrze.I change to GSM mode, but without effect only if o2 uk only when I set the GSM (PRL) range but appeared only in the city outside the city it was lost and only work network HSPDA.

I asked the operator if a phone is a phone is not on the blacklist he wrote that everything is ok
I hope that everybody will understand me because I wrote the translate: D
Thanks
Sounds to me like it's network locked to T-mobile UK, try using the sim unlocking tool here. The fact that it will work on t-mobile uk suggests there is nothing wrong with the hardware
Hello I have an odd problem. I have an unlocked ZL which has been working fine on AT&T in the US. I travel to London a lot and have the international data option on my account and has always worked fine with my other phones. However after arriving in London my phone is stuck on Everything Everywhere (EE) and they don't have a roaming agreement with AT&T. This would be an easy problem to solve by manually selecting a different network but this is my problem. On my phone network selection, below, APN is not showing up. I originally thought this may have been disabled by the original network (Indonesia I believe) so I flashed the US generic firmware and Nordic but nothing I do makes it show up. Anyone else have this problem or solution?
Thanks

Its DISABLED by your AT&T sim not the phone. If you notice by putting another Sim (Non AT&T) You can then use network search. Also ANY AT&T Branded Phone Network Search is LOCKED. I know your ZL is not AT&T branded but your SIM is which is causing it to lock it. My disapers when using an AT&T Sim, But when putting a T-Mobile USA sim or Orange UK sim BAM Network search shows up..
Also I think AT&T has Agremeants with EE , as EE can roam on AT&T here in the USA, EE is basically ORANGE UK, If they did not have aggremeants your phone WOULD NOT connect to the network. Make sure your data roaming is checked..
Thanks you are correct. Crazy considering they wanted me to manually select a network other than EE.
They're support is sometimes ehh. If they had never been out of the county they probably won't know. How is it over there . Always wanted to go.

Hey, I couldn't really find anything similar, so making a post. I have just moved to China and brought my HTC One X with me from the UK. It is a Vodafone contract phone, so it is unlocked but running the Vodafone brand software.
I have bought a China Unicom SIM card, of which calls and texts work fine, but there is no mobile data, it just says disconnected. When I go into the mobile data settings, it has the network operator down as China Unicom and network mode as GSM/WCDMA auto. When I put my Vodafone SIM back in there is also no connection.
It have checked the SIM in someones Chinese phone and it works fine.
I'm not really a phone person, I have never modded/rooted or done anything to change a phone, and my knowledge only goes so far, so hopefully someone can shed some light for me.

Done some quick fact check for this.
Not so sure did Vodafone UK offered HTC One X/XL (edeavoru / evita). However, both of them supporting 3G network frequency operate by China Unicom. Make sure your SIM card has access to their mobile network and have APN set correctly if they are wrong/undectable.

Setting the APN has worked, thank you, I thought I was going to have to buy a new phone
Check this
All I had to do to go to the Access Point Name ('APN') settings and change the Authentication Type from its default 'Not Set' to 'None'. After that, my internet is working fine.
It would appear this may be an issue common to a number of Chinese phones, so hopefully this will be of use to other people in the same situation.
It worked on my star N9599T (whats the difference Not Set and None? but it works!)
Its a unlocked TMobile samsung galaxy S2 (SGH - T989) from US which I am trying to use in India. I had bought it from t-mobile as part of a 2 year contract. After completing my two years contract, I got the phone unlocked from t-mobile before coming to India. The phone worked fine for first 15 days here in India but stopped working since then. I have tried many different SIM cards from different Indian mobile service providers. These SIM cards work perfectly fine on other handsets . *#06# shows correct IMEI which matches with what is printed on the back side. Phone shows signal towers with varying signal strength. I could see the signal towers even after disabling Wifi and location services but when i try to make a call, it says "Not registered on network". Wifi, if enabled, works fine though. When I try to select a network operator from Mobile networks menu, it does say registered to network occasionally but mostly it fails to connect to any network (i have tried both manual and automatic selection) but even if it says registered to network, when i try to make call, it says not registered on network so I am not able to make any calls at all. I have tried factory reset and upgraded to JB 4.1.2 (radio: UVMC6) but problem still stays. Please help me.
Did you try entering the correct apn ? Similar thing happened to me but i took it to the sim card company and they entered the apn manually and it worked.

I did try APN but I believe that is for GPRS/EDGE and 3D and these will take effect once cell network is established.
