[Q] Galaxy Nexus i9250M Not working with Mobilicity

Hey I just picked up the GN i9250M (bell) and inserted my mobilicity sim but it says it cant connect to the network. Im assuming this is because I need to unlock the phone. Is that correct?
If that is correct to unlock the phone I need the SDK files and grabboot? can someone direct me to a tutorial on this?

What is the exact error message? You don't see any signal bars at all or is it just when you try to use data? The phone should be unlocked already. Most likely it's the data that can't connect, check your APN settings.

the error message was "cannot connect to the network at this time please try again later"
thanks for the quick response and sorry for wasting everyones time...not sure why this happened but once i walked into my house it connected..possibly just out of coverage area. up/down links seem to be working fine and calls can be made so im happy.

actually im having another issue now..dont know if i can ask it in this thread but whenever i try to download something frm the market i get a cannot download due to an error message...any ideas?
thanks again

Wifi or network? There are posts that say you should go to your APN settings and delete the proxy so that it's empty.

that was my first troubleshooting step but oddly enough the issue is only intermittent with wifi...some apps dl some dont, same issue now occur on network

hmm issue seems to be isolated to network connection now...what was the apn thing you mentioned?
can also confirm that connection is active and functional; browser and other apps working fine

In Settings -> click more under wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names
You should see one or two APNs. click on them and make sure that Proxy is blank or "not set"

Bell runs an HSPDA network and Mobilicity runs an AWS network. You cant use the phone on Mobilicity's network.

Yes, you can use it. It will work fine. SGN is pentaband and unlocked. Just make sure your APNs are correct.

Sorry, I was going off the specs at GSMArena (which are wrong more often than right nowadays)

I just got the same exact phone.
Go remove the proxy address in the APN settings. and the reason it didn't connect at first because the phone was trying to "learn" how to connect to the Mobilicity. network.
I thought my phone was defective as well until I waited a bit after. It's a beautiful device

May be a long post!
I heard that port you can just leave Blank instead of 8080...speed increase so they say!
1. Set APNs>> posted by android01 (I have heard if you leave port blank you get faster speeds, just heard)
2. Go to setting and Disable Roaming as to not incure extra charges...
3. This is a somewhat of a Backdoor fix i found that worked with Samsung Vibrant from T-mobile... DISCLAIMER: USE AT OWN RISK! ONLY MODIFY THE SETTINGS LISTED.
IF the setting is not as listed, Read the setting heading click the matching section heading, to find the location of this setting scan and read all of the setting heading/titles.
If is works without a hitch than great....Let me know.
Again these directions i found on Howard Forumns and worked with a T-Mobile Galaxy S Vibrant
I had copied this into a Word document for my Mum as the phone was going to her:

It works!!! It totally works!!!! I love it! Thank you so much guys!!!! Now I don't have to restart my phone EVERY morning as soon as I pull out of the underground garage in my car!!!
Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU!!!!!!
Dial: *#*#197328640#*#*
Click [1] debug screen
Click [8] phone control
Click [7] network control
Click [2] band selection
This is where you make a change, default setting is [1] automatic, which means it chooses automatically between gsm/cdma (Edge vs 3g). So we are going to change this and set it to wcdma band which is 3g.
Click [2] wcdma band
Click [1] wcdma all []
Now it should display “select wcdma all bands[*]"
Now on the bottom of your phone, click the menu key, it’s the one next to the home key, now click back, menu again one more time, back one more time, this is just to confirm it set to number 2 wcdma band.
Now click menu key one last time, click end.. and you are done. Now to double verify that the phone is locked into 3g, dial in: *#*#4636#*#*
Then click phone information Then scroll down to “set preferred network type” It should now have listed “wcdma only.” PS, if you tried to do a shortcut, and just set wcdma this way first without doing the lock above, it would just go back to gsm/cdma auto once you exit the screen.
Your phone should now be locked into 3g.
__________
Also what i do is Only click the 1700 and 2100 frequencies.Chose by hitting the menu button>>back and i forgot the option. it is "to add another band?" and so click either one frequency first, then menu>back>"add another band"!
This keeps me on 3G directly and always!!! DONT forget to turn Roaming off as to not incure unwanted charges.
Hope this helps and let it be known if it works for you nexus guys. or am i full of it and these are samsung commands....DOH! if they are.

the nexus from bell does not have phone lock..
i can use my fido sim in the phone..my nexus is from bell as well

Yep I have it with Mobilicity and it is an absolutely great phone granted some things are slower than they would be on 1 of the big 3 but it is more than adequate

Bell LG Optimus LTE Disable LTE?

For those with a Bell Canada LG Optimus LTE, are you guys able to turn off/disable LTE on your phone through a setting or *#*#4636#*#*?
I'm trying to figure out a way to turn off LTE on the AT&T Nitro HD, which has the Network Mode setting blocked/removed.

Create a new APN and use it when you want to "switch off" lte:
Settings -> Wireless and Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names -> Menu (Add new APN)
Name: HSPA+ (can name it whatever you want)
APN: phone

Mnc: 410
Authentication type: none
APN type: default,mms,supl,hipri (no spaces)
Save.
It should save battery.
Please let me know if it works.

The feature that you speak of is not on our phones as it is locked out. I can't change those settings.

It shouldn't be locked out. I thought so at first, but if you hit the menu button while viewing the "ATT PTA" APN it should let you add one. I've done exactly what was suggested and it works... all except picture messaging.

No, I wasn't asking about the APN. I'm aware of that trick.
I wanted to see if we can actually set our phones to WCDMA only or something like that. In most if not all previous Android phones I've owned, you can force the phone to 2G only, 3G preferred, 3G only, and so on using the *#*#4636#*#* menu. But in our case, AT&T/LG deliberately left out this option in the phone.

Oh I see. Man I would LOVE to have that feature.

Um I had a bell one and I remember just going into the settings there was a choice of WCDMA or WCDMA+LTE and I just picked WCDMA and I think it turned LTE off.

I get an FC in com.android.phone when I try to do that, so nope, not working.

Yes, with Bell Canada, Settings -> Wireless and Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Network Mode -> WCDMA only
If I choose "GSM/WCDMA Auto" it does not stick but reverts to "GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto". But "WCDMA only" stays and everything works.
Now I will wait to see if the battery lasts longer. But as it was it lasts over 2 days of standby/light use (we don't have LTE serviceout here). As soon as I start using the display though the battery goes down quite fast - like in about 3 hours or less of continuous use.

[Q] Droid incredible 2 verizon phone unlocked to t-mobile!!!!!!!!!!!

hi so i recentlly got a droid incredible 2 and unlocked it to use on tmobile. now my question is can 3g be enabled to use on tmobile network?
i have it working on edge so far but it love to take advantage of the 3g network . plz help!!

Congratulations, you have posted in the wrong phone forum. Also, I don't believe you would have access to T-Mobile 3g unless the Inc2 supported their AWS 3g bands.

figured id post in the wrong place and thanx il check out if it does support the bands

No problem. According to this site:
http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_droid_incredible_2-3938.php
the Inc2 supports gsm 2100 which I believe is one of the same frequencies of T-Mobiles 3g network. I can't help you any further since dealing with frequencies and other networks isn't something I know of.

Can it be used with att? Like say with the straight talk e71 sim card ?
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App

OP, how do you make it work? Have you verified with Tmobile sim card? I unlocked hinc2, but it shows "no service" with tmobile sim under GSM.

you have to set up a new apn for t mobile. you have to go into settings-wireless and networks- make sure you have it set to gsm not cdma to make it work. - go to mobile networks- GSM/UMTS options. - acces point names and if its blank press the menu button on the phone and select new apn.
this is what you need to write in it.

I've been trying like crazy to get mine switched over from Verizon to T-mobile and was soo happy to find this!! I'm having a problem finding my apn numbers and that data listed. When ever I try to switch mine to GSM or Global it say there is no SIM card installed and automatically switches back to CDMA. How can I stop this or how can I change the info another way. I have it rooted already and I'm running the ClockworkMod. The phone doesn't have service but I have activated the Tmobile card already, just can't get the bloody thing to work!
Any help you can give you'd be extremely appreciated.

Did you get this as a pre-owned phone from someone else? Is it Sim unlocked - do you know?
If the answer is yes, when you go into APN - you need to create the above and SAVE it first. What ROM are you running?
I've uploaded 2 *.jpg images - not sure if it's showing up correctly? Can you reference & compare the screens and share what yours are?

No this was my phone to begin with. I just got tired of Verizons BS and switched to the Walmart Family mobile that is a third the price, but I couldn't afford a new unlocked phone.
I did manage to unlock the Sim, called Global Support from Verizon and they gave me the code no questions asked.
After I unlocked it and got it to recognize the Sim card I found the APN section and got all that setup like it was shown on here now it's working perfectly!
I'm running the stock ROM. I would like to upgrade to CM7 or something like that but I don't know how to upgrade my Kernal to accept the upgrade so I get stuck at the White HTC boot screen whenever I flash a new ROM. So I just defaulted back to 2.3.4 til I can figure it out.

Great, glad to hear that you got it working on Walmart's T-Mo family plan now, it is "slow" on mobile data but just as good when you are on WiFi. We retired our 2 DI2 last month and ditched Big Red, I hear ya - we saved 50% each month, more than enough to pay for two Nexus 5.
If yours is rooted/bootloader unlocked with CWM, you don't need to do anything with the stock kernel - just leave it alone, find the custom rom's zip file that you want - copy to mSD card, boot into recovery - do a full wipe, flash & reboot, then setup as usual & restore your apps. The stock VZW rom has all the bloatware that are useless, especially on other carriers - use Andy Bone's stocked Rom instead, or SkyRaider's Zeus or TSM Sense, all 3 of them works 99.89999% in GSM (using 2 of them now) - read the FAQ / Sticky first, as it is detailed & explained it all with how to's. I have those roms in offline storage - PM me if you cannot find a working public links to download them.
Prices for brand new 4G LTE smartphones are mad crazy, I understand - VZW wanted about $300 each to upgrade + fees + ETF & 24 months contract, if you shop around when ready on eBay, you can find some pre-owned ones that are solid with custom Rom, and reliable with reasonable prices on the 3G HSPA side, i.e. saw pre-owned Motorola Atrix 4G with 4" screen in good conditions for about $70 - in exchange, you get much faster 3G/HSPA+ speed with mobile data (if you need it on the go)
Have a safe & happy holiday.

Skyraider is probably one of the best sense roms on gingerbread with a few tweaks to it. Thing with unlocking the sim on this phone to work on a different network u will eventually start to have issues since it was designed for only verizon cdma and global gsm only. A lot of the gsm is still in the work. When unlocking any phone to work on a different network ur mostly always gonna have an issue with 3G bec gsm is on a totally different band and unless the phone itself was designed specificially for gsm itll be an issue ull more than likely have. An apn change might fix it but not a lot of roms have the apn settings unless its more the line Cyanogenmod. There is an apn settings shortcut in the playstore u can use to set it. Me personally i wouldve stuck with Verizon because the majority of the worlds population is cdma service towers and tmobile has less coverage then sprint or at&t but too each his own. Good luck and hope the apn change helps gain u 3G

turning off lte

i know there isnt a toggle for turning of lte on the at&t variant but i thought there was some work arounds to this. can someone please post the steps to do this?

There's fairly simple instruction for this not only on xda, but on multiple other sites as well. Have you heard of Google?

In short - change APN settings.

actually theres a better way, if you're on CM10 or AOKP dial *#*#4636#*#* and choose WCDMA only or WCDMA Preferred. This will prevent the phone from trying to use LTE as its default network.

It doesnt if you're on AOKP at least for my ATT it doesnt, if I set it to WCDMA preferred as it is by default I never see LTE, even with the PTA APN selected, and I know LTE is active in my area because on stock and CM10 I default to it and get upwards of 30-40 Mbps

See here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1826409

Theres also a way if you have root to create the new APN and have it stick (reason it doesnt stick is because PTA is set as default and because you cant change it reverts back to PTA). I'll give the steps I took to allow me to edit my PTA APN. again remember you need root. (also sqlite)
1. Using root explorer (or similar) navigate to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony>databases>nwk_info.db
2. Tap on Carriers
3. Select line for AT&T PTA 310/410 scroll all the way to the right and under editable put a 1
4. Do the same for ATT Entitlement
5. Go to the PTA APN Menu>Settings>More Settings>Mobile Network> Access Point Names
6. In the PTA APN delete the values in the "APN type" field (this will prevent the phone from defaulting back to this APN)
7. Create new APN

Only down side to this is that the phone will periodically drop ALL signal but then gains it back withing 15-20 seconds. I'm also still looking for a way to enable the "Network operators" selection through root explorer (I imagine it to be in a similar place as the APN settings). Any help from someone more knowledgeable than me is appreciated. Hope this helps. Also below is a link to where I posted working USSD (MMI) codes that I found. Maybe something can be discovered in those.

[Q] Phone won't roam-settings are missing

Hello everyone,
I have a new AT&T plan with five lines, all using Samsung Galaxy S3s, all having the same problem. My 14 day grace period to cancel is almost up and I'm at my wits end searching for an answer. The phones are not rooted as I do not understand most of this technology; however I'm smart enough to know that this is a problem beyond rebooting the phone or resetting the SIM card, as every forum out there is telling people to do. Calling tech support (please don't make me) is a LAST resort for any device I own.
In the town where I work and shop I have no signal at all from AT&T. No voice, text, or data. AT&T coverage map shows "good" coverage in this town. Every so often I do get a weak AT&T signal but only for a few seconds. I do however pick up a very strong signal from a T-Mobile tower. I know that AT&T and T-Mobile both use GSM and should be compatible for roaming purposes, but the phone does not roam; it just shows a strong signal that I cannot connect to. Also, it switches back and forth between these two towers. I posted screen shots taken one minute apart.
In my phone's "Mobile Networks" settings there is no option to chose a network. There are only four options on that page: Mobile Data (checked), Data Roaming (not checked), APN, and Network Operators. I have tried adding a new APN but that did not work. The Network Operators tab says "Default Setup" and I cannot change it. I understand this is an issue with AT&T - they deliberately remove these settings.
I have gone through all the settings in Service Mode using *#197328640# looking for a way to enable the missing settings. I have already used the Service Mode to disable LTE (another setting AT&T likes to deprive us of) but that was not the problem so I put that back on automatic. I have also checked and unchecked every imaginable combo of settings such as wifi, data, airplane mode, etc.
I think the problem is either that the T-Mobile tower is interfering with what *should* be a good AT&T signal, or that the fact that I am "connected" to AT&T (albeit with no bars) is preventing me from roaming. I'd like to know if there is a way to disconnect from AT&T to test that theory. Also, I'd like to know if there is something I can do from Service Mode to enable the missing settings so I can set up roaming.
Thanks so much for any suggestions or help.

Just the default one called "ATT Phone".
I tried a Cingular APN in order to get a better connection to the AT&T tower, but it didn't work and I removed it. I found the T-Mobile APN info and was planning to try that next time I'm in town if I don't find some other solution first.

Is it the wap.cingular or pta one? You have to reboot after changing apn's but I'm sure you already knew that

I used the wap.cingular one and did reboot. Do you think this is an APN issue? I'm kind of at a dead end unless I find where to enable those mobile network settings. Thanks for your responses.

If you do not have the pta apn, try and add it. That's the LTE network.
Name: ATT PTA
APN: pta
MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMS Proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Auth: none
APN type: default,mms,supl,hipri
Add this in, select it and reboot

I have added it and will get to town tonight to see if it works. I'll post an update afterward. Thank you!

Unfortunately, it didn't work. I also tried to use a T-Mobile one and the phone wouldn't even let me save it.
I broke down and called AT&T tech support to find out where the roaming settings are in the phone... of course they didn't tell me, but they did tell me they don't have a roaming partnership with T-Mobile in my area. Therefore I'm out of luck and will be cancelling my contract.

Sorry buddy. Best of luck. Use your s3 on a carrier's no-contract plan. Perhaps t mobile or straight talk? Cheers
