I bought a second-hand unlocked Z1 Compact which seems to have been sold originally by Virgin Mobile UK.
When I'm in the UK I use it on the Three network with a PAYG 4G sim. It picks up 3G/HSPA+ all over London just fine but I can't get a 4G connection at all.
In my network settings I can choose WCDMA only, GSM only or WCDMA/GSM. There's no option for LTE. I'm assuming this is a limitation of my ROM. I recently received an OTA update to 14.4.A.0.157 but it hasn't made a difference.
Is there something I can do to unlock the LTE bands, or should I flash a generic (non-carrier) UK firmware?
1. Assure your plan covers LTE. Check your SIM in other phone which can do LTE connection.
2. For myself - I knew I had plan with LTE and phone was capable to connect it but when I made 'connect LTE only' in settings - I got message:
"Your SIM card refuses to connect this way". That explained a lot.
I had to change SIM card to LTE capable and all of the sudden I had LTE.
I had the same issue when I first bought mine. It was a generic uk device but missing the 4G option in the settings. An upgrade of firmware solved the issue for me. If you know your plan and sim support 4G I would suggest trying the generic firmware.

Thanks - according to the network you don't need to do anything special to activate 4G/LTE on any Three SIM.:
http://www.three.co.uk/Discover/Bui...230&gclid=CPG49de_p8ICFQpMtAodWkoAYw&aidset=1
When I took the phone to the Three Store in Islington the guy looked in the options and told me that my phone didn't support 4G/LTE as there is no option for it the settings. However both the box the phone came with, and the device itself (in the service menu), list various 4G bands as supported. They wouldn't really help any more as I didn't buy the phone from them.
The only other devices I have to hand are an iPhone 4G, a Samsung Galaxy S2 and a Huawei Y330, none of which support 4G. Also the only 4G SIM card I have with me right now here in Portugal is one for NOS (Portuguese operator) and I'm not sure it will work in a phone as it is designed for home 4G broadband.
I'm willing to have a go flashing a UK unbranded FTF, but I can't find one anywhere with the 157 update.
EDIT: I just figured out how to use XperiFirm and it seems the ROM I need isn't out yet. Might not be ready in time for my next trip to the UK but fingers crossed.

You can get latest firmware and baseband, it doesn't have to be for your country or provider, head over to IaguCool' s thread on Xperia Firmware Downloader & Checker. Follow the instructions there.
You will need a copy of Flashtool and it'd be good to read the thread on 'how to' as all the instructions are there, rather than jump to the last page and ask, which is what everybody does.
This will deliver you the latest stock build, bootlocked and not rooted, so what you do with it after that is up to you?
When you first start the phone it will go through setup, where you get to choose language and provider. The only thing you might need to know is your service providers APN and maybe you have to enter in manually.

Don't know if this might help but I'm on three network with generic UK firmware and in my network settings I have "4g (preferred)"
It's. 108 firmware and the customization number is 1279-4727. My 4g works fine.
If it was originally on the Virgin network it's possible I suppose that their firmware doesn't support 4G hence the option doesn't show - odd though. I can say for sure that 4G definitely works on the 3 network with the z1c though 3s 4G coverage is limited to the major cities at the moment - I've got a fairly ancient sim card from my old iphone 4 and that works fine so you shouldn't require a change of sim card. I would definitely try flashing the generic firmware and see if that solves it, doesn't need to be 157 - 108 is as good a bet as any and to me seemed better for battery life.

@spudata - thanks, that does indeed help. That's the exact firmware I downloaded (same customisation number) so its good to know it will work if I flash it.
@twilliams08 - given that I lost my root after the OTA update I'm probably better off on .108
So now its time to read up on how to flash a Sony Z-series
If flashing new firmware doesn't works maybe that could help with problem:

Try with this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tapbase.LTEswitcher, I choose LTE only on that app because when I choose LTE preferred, it just connect to HSPA

I bought my n7100 on taobao here in China, and it's a Korean version. I put my China Mobile sim card in, and it makes and receives calls, and text messages and can use wifi with no problem.
The only thing is the mobile data doesn't work. I rooted and tried tweakker, and HiNet, to reset my APN and MMS settings, but that didn't work. My phone still thinks I'm roaming.. it displays
this message "Data Roaming, You have lost data connectivity because you let your home network with data roaming turned off".
I've also tried updating the APN and MMS settings manualy with information i've found on the web.
I've googled and searched this forum and I can't find much. I thought it would be an easy APN settings fix but it seems not to be...
I took my phone in to the local China Mobile store they couldn't fix it. I took it to a local android expert here and they didn't know what to do.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
If you bought a Korean Note 2, you don't (shouldn't) have an N7100. I also purchased one through Taobao.
You should have an SHV-E250S, E250L, or E250K. Which one do you have? Check the baseband version under Settings > About device page.
No matter what, you're going to be limited to 2G only with China Mobile.
You're right, It's SHV-E250S, and I'm fine using the 2g in China on China mobile, but I'd just like to know how..any help?
Baseband Version is E-250SKSVLJK
Try removing all modifications to your APN settings.
Next, go into Settings > More settings > Mobile networks > Network mode and change it to GSM only. Also make sure that Data roaming is not selected. Run a new scan for network operators while you're in there to refresh your APN settings to the right ones.
In data network mode I only have 2 options "3g only" or "LTE Preferred" I have it on 3g only. I have now unchecked data roaming, but I don't see any place to scan for network operators. I have included a few screenshots here, sorry i don't know how to insert them.. http://tinypic.com/r/2198djn/6 http://tinypic.com/r/24dhfmx/6 http://tinypic.com/r/2zof98w/6
Now it's obvious why you don't have data. Is this the stock Korean ROM? Are you rooted?
I can point you to a decent ROM that will fix all of this, provided you have the patience to fix it. It's relatively easy.
Yes it seems to be the stock Korean ROM. I am rooted using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31801060&postcount=2 I'm more than willing to flash another rom. I've put about 20 hours into this so far, I imagine I can muster enough patience to finish it
Once they give us a damn Korean Note II section, this kind of information will be a lot easier to find.
Try this ROM for now, it's the one I've been using for a few weeks and I love it.

Thanks a lot the rom (715mb) is downloading now, I have tried to flash ROM's on my old galaxy nexus, and on this note II, but I never succeeded, can you please link me to a good guide, on how to flash this rom? thanks.
Odin is included in the download. If you're using Windows 7 you may or may not have the drivers for the phone, and can grab them out of the All-in-one Toolkit. Just installing the toolkit should install the drivers necessary.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1923956
The ROM you're downloading has two files and two pictures, as well. Open the pictures and follow along. All you have to do is click two buttons, select two files, then hit start. It WILL wipe your phone.
I installed that rom you suggested, I went into settings and did GSM only, and had it automatically find my network (china mobile) selected it, rebooted, and still it says i'm roaming so there is no connectivity... any more ideas?
Can you try somebody else's SIM?
There's no reason you should not be getting service unless something is not right with your SIM or phone.
I installed the rom you suggested, i went into settings and made it GSM only, also had it automatically correctly locate my network (china mobile) and it said "registered on network".. but it still isn't working, same problem, it says no connectivity cus i'm roaming.. any ideas now?
my gf will be home from work in a couple hours, I can try her sim card then.. my sim card was cut by me for my old iPhone.. is it possible or likely that the phone can still make and receive calls, but that somehow data connectivity was affected by me cutting the card? also one guy at the phone fixing store tried his sim card (from another company) and internet worked fine he said..

China mobile have various sim plans, from local to province to national. Are you using the sim in the same city in which you bought it? If not and you don't have a national plan, it could be why the phone is showing roaming. In China going from one province to another is already considered roaming unless you have a national plan. This is from my experience back 2 years ago. Also, you best check at a China mobile shop if you have data activated, gprs/edge is not activated by default, you need to ask them to do it.
I would advise you to switch to China unicom as they have 3g/hspa which is much faster than china mobile.

For clarfication, I am in Hainan, and the card is from hainan. I use the same sim card in my galaxy nexus without any problem. I tried my gf's card just now, it didn't say any problem with connectivity, and did not display roaming.. And it shows the G symbol (for 2 or 3 G I assume), and has up and down arrows next to it.. but it doesn't actually work for browsing the web or using apps over the data network.. I even reset all the APN settings and let it automatically find the China Mobile network, but it didn't help.. what if I try to set the APN settings manualy? and any other ideas??
Showing the G symbol is GPRS, which is 2G. You will not get 3G on the N7100, N7105, or Korean model Note 2 on China Mobile.
Sounds like you need a new SIM card. You can try to set the APN manually to make the data work with hers. I've never had to set an APN manually and I've used many phones here with all 3 carriers, so it's a bit odd to me. No clue why your card doesn't work, but since hers is working fine, it's definitely not your phone.
For the record, her card displayed G, but even after messing with settings, I couldn't get it to have working data network..
Today I bought a new card, and had it officially cut to size, put it in the note II and it's still telling me no data connectivity due to i'm roaming.. i'm so frustrated
edit: after restarting a few times and trying to automatically make it register on china mobile .. it worked on the 4th attempt.. it still displays data roaming, and I had to enable data roaming... but now it works, even though it says i'm roaming?? wtf
Ive the same problem with my Korean galaxy note 2 all voice service work perfect but when I tried to turn on data it says insert Usim Card to access network please help
[Q] LTE SIM inserted, but "Insert SIM Card to access Data Services" message shows
Hi,
I'm in the Philippines. I bought a Note N7105 last week (not from my provider) and installed 4.1.2 with baseband N7105DXDLL1. All good until a few days ago I received my LTE card from GLOBE Telcom.
Now I have a problem. I can make calls and send SMS using the card but when I try to enable data services it tells me "Insert SIM Card to access Data Services", and will not enable data or let me see anything under "Mobile Networks".
I have tried a different Globe LTE SIM card (my son's) and the same thing happens.
If I put this LTE SIM into my Galaxy S II (Baseband = I9100XXLPX), it runs fine (but 3G of course). So it's not a faulty SIM card.
I was wondering if the problem might be the modem ? Any ideas ?
Globe runs LTE Band 1800
thanks
Could it be the modem ?

When the SIM is inserted, the whole mobile settings menu becomes unavailable, because the phone thinks no SIM is inserted (even though calls and SMS works).
UtkarshGupta suggests its the APN not the modem so I'll look into that too.
For now, I have a new problem - the SIM slot is broken, due to using one of those stupid Nano adapters, because my provider does not have micro SIMs. So until I get that replaced, I can't try anything !
Re: [Q] LTE SIM inserted, but "Insert SIM Card to access Data Services" message shows

Hi
I'm from the philippines just as you. I'm also using globe's LTE and recently have bought a note 2 (N7105). My note 2 works perfectly. But a few days ago, my friend who was interested in getting the same phone that I have, decided to buy one. We went to the same store hot gadgets to buy another phone exactly like mine N7105. We encountered the same problem as you. All other simcards would work except for my Globe LTE sim. It seems like its a new batch of note 2s from their supplier abroad. What i noticed about the new batch that arrived is that it was previously locked to a foreign network and just unlocked. the box also has a "cityzi" logo which is a carrier in france. the seller claims that all their units are locked and just unlocked.
but i believe that the batch i got was factory unlocked in the first place because there is no logo on the box and no logo when starting up and turning off the phone.
I have a feeling that it may be a firmware related problem. what i would like to ask if you have tried updating the phone to the current DMC3 firmware. you can read up about it.
there is a forum on tipid cp on n7105 sadly im just a new user on xda so i cant post the link. just search for it.
if you check sammobile.com there is an n7105 firmware for the philippines. im not sure if flashing it with this new firm ware would fix the problem. i flashed my phone with it and it worked fine but im not sure if a previously locked phone would create problems when updating firmware. maybe some people in the forum could help. thanks.

This is an English only forum. Ask in English if you want an answer. Also, this section is for the Note 2. Ask again in the S3 section, in English.
Worked like a charm. Thanks!
big thanks to this thread! i had problems with my N7105 from HK as well but now it works fine on Globe LTE!
only problem i encountered was downloading the file which was 1GB, kept failing to download until this morning hehehe. :highfive:
Hi everyone. Might there be a torrent for the firmware file? Download keep terminating on my side. Thanks guys
Hi!
First I want to thank you for pointing out that only XXDMC3 will work with GLOBE LTE.
I think it is the SIM card itself because I have an AT&T i317 Galaxy note 2. First I wasn't able to get it to work. Same issues with you. Can call, text, but will not allow me to access mobile services.
I also tried flashing it with the modem from here (XXDMC3 (Philippines / Globe) N7105DXDMC1_modem_GLB) you can use this modem if you have the N7105
I misread the instructions and had a bootloop. But was able to reflash the stock AT&t firmware.
So instead of going that route, I downloaded this International ROM for ATT Galaxy note 2 As it is already XXDMC3 baseband.
It works very well. But I still have to wait for the activation of my LTE to see if that really works. But now I can access the menu's and H+ works on my phone.
This is using the Stock AT&T Modem.
I hope this helps folks with international phones and want it to work with GLOBE LTE.. =)
This firmware works fine with globe, but not so sure about Smart. A Smart prepaid SIM works fine, but a postpaid SIM does not work at all, not even for calling / texting. Smart are unable to explain why this would be the case. They made up some BS story about the phone being locked to Globe (a 7105 International edition !!) I was not able to test it fully because I sold the phone, so I can't say for sure it was a firmware issue. But we tried several Smart postpaid SIMS and all did not work. Just throwing it out there.
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.

On Z1 board, there have a guy who bought a JP model of z1 and he tried to flash a HK firmware to replace the JP rom and fix the LTE problem and works. So, I think you can try but I don't promise, make sure your phone is not sim locked.
And there is two z1 compact of JP models available in JP. The old one is Z1f(SO-02F) and new one is Z1 A2(SO-04F). I think there is no different, SO-04F just got more color and the camera software supports 2K recording(but still no 4K ...lol).
It's just a suggestion but a more descriptive thread title might get more responses...

I hope that it will work. I haven't tried rooting and flashing before so I am a little scared about it. But i don't see any ways to do this. Thanks a lot man!
Hello everyone, first of all I would like to apologize because I am French and I don't speak English very well, but I think you are my last hope for the trouble I am currently experiencing.
I own a Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ (SM-N975F) with a Rom Surcouche Operator Bouygues Telecom :
- N975FXXU4CTE9/N975FBOG4CTE9/N975FXXU4CTE9
I wanted to remove my Bouygues Telecom Rom Operator to install a Samsung Rom Stock without any overlayer operator. The operation is well finished so I am now on the Samsung Rom Stock:
- N975FXXS6DTI5/N975FOXM6DDTH7/N975FXXS6DTI5
Except that since this change of Rom I have almost no more 4G+ where I live knowing that before I was always in 4G+ So I would like to know why just by having changed the Rom I lost my 4G+. ( Worries which lasts since September 21st, 2020 ) I wanted to go back but I passed from a bootloader 4 to a bootloader 6
Knowing that I'm with the Free operator, I tested my Free SIM card in my wife's Samsung, I'm getting 4G+ so the problem is not my SIM card, I also sent my phone to Samsung, the phone has no hardware anomaly so it's from the change of Rom, I tried to reinstall the same problem, I also made the wipe I tried everything ...
I also have at home a 4G+ router with a 4G+ plan with the operator Free and I am in 4G+ at full speed ...
I hope to get some help from you because on the French forums I don't have a single answer ... Thanks in advance for your help and sorry again for my english
Test the internet speed on both phones using your sim's data plan with speedtest. If the speed is the same in both then the problem of the 4G indicator is only aesthetic.
Hello bigcalvin, unfortunately I have tested but the speed is not the same at all in 4G+ I go up to 235Mb/s while in H+ I go up to 3Mb/s so there is no problem with the 4G indicator

Have you tried in different areas? What it seems like, is that the stock Samsung ROM is not compatible with your carrier. With system on a chip (SoC), carriers can turn off bands that they don't need, or as a means of locking you into their network.

I have a 4g router, I can receive the 4g free and my phone since the update doesn't receive anything anymore, I have to go out of my house and walk a good 100 meters to hope to receive the 4g whereas I didn't have this problem before I made the really strange update...
No one would have a solution to give me or manipulation to do I take all the information.
Try a "reset network settings" if you haven't already.
Clear the system cache on the boot menu; it never hurts to do so.
Hi, thank you for your answer unfortunately I have already reset the network settings I have also done the factory settings system cache also reinstallation of a new rom I had to do it about twenty times but still nothing :/

Yeah pretty basic stuff... that's all I got
Most likely a settings issue but you probably know more than myself at this point to troubleshoot this problem.
Try doing Google searches and view the results for other Samsung phone models and years.
Most times I can find a solution like this or trip over it as an indirect result while searching.
Some of the Samsung software issues have been around for years...
I've already searched everything on google I'm French I've searched on English forums and everything but I can't find anything at all.
I am in France with the mobile operator "Free" which uses the frequencies 700mhz/1800mhz/2600mhz I would like to know if there is a possibility on this phone to choose the frequency that I want one by one I have the impression that it is my 700mhz frequency that has a problem on my phone :/
By using the free App 'Shortcut Master (Lite) from Google Play, you can get access to the Network Settings. In there you can make Band Selection, allowing you to test network connections and performance per band (=frequency) or combinations of bands.

Hope this helps!
Hello OnnoJ, unfortunately I have already tested with this application so it doesn't work. However I compared everything with my wife's phone a Samsung so I have exactly the same settings as on her phone ...
I have to go out of my house and walk a good 200 meters to hope to get 4G, however I specify that before I made this famous update I was always in 4G at home inside and outside of the house and this is not a concern of the mobile operator because otherwise my wife would have exactly the same problem as I have now and I would also have exactly the same problem on my 4G router ...
I think I've done everything and above all I've tested everything and unfortunately I had Samsung on the phone and they put the blame on the operator whereas as explained above my 4G router and my wife's phone have exactly the same mobile operator so they would have the same problem as me ... ...
I would try to revert to the newest firmware that your carrier uses, just to see if the issue is about the bands, search for the latest firm for your carrier, provided that it is of an equal or higher bootloader version to the one you currently have installed, that is what I would do
@thominekevin76000.
Not saying it may help you, but the application works fine for me to access network settings. I use it all the time, as it helps me at home and at work to make the optimum band selection for that specific location to prevent hopping between different cell towers and to have a stable and fastest possible 4G+ connection. CellMapper app allows me to see connection possibilities with the various cell towers and their power.
Hello winol, I can't go back to my old Rom because I had a bootloader of 4 and now I switched to a bootloader of 6 so I can't go back :/)
