Hello, I just got a Note 2, I got it on amazon.
But I can't get to connect to my 3g network. I live in el salvador, and our 3g network works on 900mhz which my Gt-n7100 suppose to work, but it just fails anytime.
At first I fought it was a fake note, but everything looks good, amazing screen, good s-pen, really fast, touchwiz, etc.
(I have a note I so I can compare) . the only thing is that it says that it has a total of 24gb of storage (weird).
I downloaded the genuine app, and it says that It is genuine.
So how can I make it work , If I check GSM only, it does connect to the network (calls, data just GPRS even tough EDGE should work) , but when I check WCDMA only It finds the network but it fails on registering.
I tried to update on the phone, but it fails, I will try with KIES and see if that works.
But please help.
Thanks
P.S I should note that my modem number is XX (which it's supposed to be europe countries) does it has anything to do?
I remember a while ago that I flashed an htc, I had to flash the radio band, so It can pick my countries frequencies? could that be?
thanks

Check your APN settings. I got this problem few days ago. Just set ur apn to default. Use this app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tweakker
As for the 24 gb, u might have gotten the 32gb variant.
Smack that thanks button if I helped.

thanks, but it's not that the data isn't working, I cannot even connect to the WCDMA network so no calls, no data.
It works on "GSM ONLY" well kinda, cause in my last phone when I was on GSM only it had EDGE connection, but this one has GPRS.
I have set the correct APN for my carrier. But I cannot even connect to the network.

i think you have 32gb version..plus minus all apps in the phone you got 24gb of storage.
about your 3g,i dunno about that because there many fix solution...some said just factory reset,some said modem is the problem and flash other modem may fix it...you can try bring it to local shop and ask them
Just one question, If the genuine app, says that it is genuine? that's trustable?
I am just worried that It might be a knock off after all, but everything on the phone seems excellent.

I've done that, but it only works on GPRS not in 3g .
Also, when I check for the network operators on all the phones I got, I always get all the carriers, but in this phone I can only get one.

Well thanks, that's a relief.
I tried a factory reset right now, will try to update later.
Could it be that I have another model rom?
cause in the settings I don't get WCDMA/GSM , but LTE/WCDMA/GSM. But the GT-N7100 doesn't have LTE.

n7105 rom cannot be installed in n7100 phone..different hardware
maybe some expert here can help
Please If anyone can Help.
I bought this phone because my old phone (xperia ion) only supported the 900mhz frequency on GSM, so I could only get EDGE speed.
This phone (NOTE 2) it's supposed to support 900mhz in the HSDPA, but I can't get it to work only on GSM and with GPRS (slower than EDGE)
PLease, I really need help
Okay, so I was trying to do the ARIZA patch, because my serial number is 00000000 and I couldn't connect to any networks.
When I put my phone into download mode, it was all in korean and it says product name: SHV-E250S, which is supposed to be the korean note, but it doesn't have an antenna like the phones I have seen.
Could this be that this phone is really screwed???? Cause it like a gt-n7100 on the rom but has LTE, and doesn't pick any network .
If this real the korean it only works in this band 1900, 2100, which none of my carriers in my country use them...
Would you say I try to root it and try to patch??
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

Hi everyone,
My Z5P doesn't find my 5 Ghz Wifi access point when there's a SIM card in.
I tried switching the settings to GSM only for both SIMs (only one slot is occupied), and tested Airplane mode too, in vain. But disabling the SIM in settings and then rebooting, works.
Is there anyone facing this same issue? What's the workaround?
Thanks.
It's sorted out. I guess the WIFI Region is based on the SIM.
I switched my router to a compatible channel (40).
See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_....A0GHz_.28802.11a.2Fh.2Fj.2Fn.2Fac.29.5B17.5D
Plus you can use WIFI Analyzer from Play Store to check which channels would be best to avoid interference.
Cool, thanks for finding this out and telling us
my g4 can't seem to achieve H+ connection even if it is available in my area.
my phone could only connect with H.
is this normal or is there something wrong with my phone or its settings?
Do you live in Philippines? I am having the same issue, not most of the time. There was some circumstances that my mobile data is not working even when subscribed to a data promos.
yes, i'm from the philippines

Hello guys,
I'm using USA stock ROM and the main drawback (for me) is the missing network icon that shows when you're doing carrier aggregation. In Taiwanese ROM it's indicated by 4G+ but there's no icon in USA ROM for this type of network so the only option to see if you're connected to two or more bands is rooting and using Network Guru.
As I'm not root and I don't plan to I captured a log using LTE Discovery in an area that supposedly have carrier aggregation using bands 7 and 28. From the connections that my phone made I noted that there're some connections to bands 7 and 28 in the same antenna (same PCI) in a short period of time.
Can I infer I'm using carrier aggregation? Before I transformed my HTC 10 to USA 4G+ worked with default Taiwanese ROM however with the USA ROM I can't verify this.
Please look at the screenshot I attached.
Thank you guys.

Turn off wifi. It won't show when you are connected to it because you are using wifi instead of mobile data.
Thank you for your reply. The log I'm showing was recorded indeed in a zone where I don't have WiFi connection and where the phone connected to B7 and B28 LTE bands (but not sure if it was doing carrier aggregation, using the two bands together).
Maybe you got confused as when I took the screenshot of the log I was in my house with WiFi connection.
Anyway what I'm saying is that USA stock ROM show 4G LTE icon for both, one band and two bands (CA) in comparison with TW that shows 4G for one band and 4G+ for two bands.
