I have the tp2 us cellular phone its a cdma with a sim slot under the battery. It shows the sim is unlocked in the security setting. I have done the hard sl flash and added mighyrom to the phone. What it comes down to what i'm trying to do is make so that I'm able to use it with tmobile/iwireless for the sim card I have. When I switch to gsm I get no network found but when it boots its says its found the network for the iwireless but i'm not able to connect to in the settings. It shows that i have a 2.18.00WV radio. Not sure how I set it up so that i can find my network for the tmobile in iowa and get connected to it. I've search high and low in the search and no answers your help is much appreciated
I guess try updating the radio? 2.18 is pretty old, I'm on 2.37.
Also, I don't think a WV radio is unlocked. I'm pretty sure that's still SIM locked.
hSPL and SIM unlock are two different things .

The sim may say it is unlocked but it is probably unlocked for non-us networks. If you have the WV radio then you are NOT fully sim unlocked.

I heard that if after Hardspling the US Cellular tp2 you install an early version of the sprint shipped Rom and then install Mighty Rom. You will be able to use the TP2 with Tmobile or any other GSM network. Since you are already HSPLed ( Imean your phone not you personally , it will not be hard to try.
hi. i just got this phone in the states before coming down to panama. it is verizon, but i called them and they gave me the code and now the phone is unlocked....but i can't get coverage here in panama. i've tried sim cards from a few of the local operators and none of them seem to work. i sure hope someone can help....here's what i've done so far: (oh, pls b patient, i'm a bit of a technophobe)
-unlocked sim. phone gives me sim lock is disabled message....that means i'm good to go, right/
-set phone to gsm only mode.
-software is androaid version 2.3.4
verizon global services told me that everything was as it should be and that the phone should work w/ a local sim card so i'm not really sure where to turn to......hopefully someone here can help. verizon also told me that the phone should work on the frequencies here. i have a claro sim card, but have also tried movistar, digicel, and masmovil. i was told that they use either 850 or 1900.
so, i'm totally stumped. hopefully i'm missing something stupid....btw, tried the sim in other phones (from europe and panama) and it worked w/ them. don't think it's a hadrware problem, but am i missing something? is there a setting change? do i need some kind of software update?
thanks!
update- get cell phone reception w/ gps on
don't know if this will help anyone get to the bottom of this issue, but i realized that when i have the gps on, i get full bar coverage. unfortunately, i can't leave the app on in the background. this makes me think it could be a hardware issue....bad antenna? anyone have any ideas
Same problem
I have the same issue as OP. Got my phone sim unlocked, and it runs on SenseMOD-2012-05-18-225643 Android 4.0.4.
For once I did a factory reset, skipped verizon activation (can´t do and won´t work because I´m not in the USA and do not have a verizon SIM or service), set my network preference to GSM/WCDMA, and the network wasn´t working.
Rebooted, my network is identified as soon as it starts, but then it goes to "No Service". Try to search for network but my carrier does not appear.
Any help?
EDIT:
Playing around with the phone, setting GSM as your network and restarting the phone let me make phone calls. No internet though and the APN was configured correctly. The "E" symbol for the internet blinked once in a while, but never got service.
Also, playing around some more, got my phone to not recognize the network again by removing the SIM another time. This sucks.
Hi,
i m using my HTC phone in Mexico with Telcel. I bought a 3G package but I cannot receive the 3G and i m only in edge. I ahve done the configuration that i found in various webpage for Android but it doesn t change. The same thing happens with a Samsung galaxy S.. I tried the sim in an iphone and it does receive the 3G.
Is there anyone who knows if there is something t do, to configurate so that my cell can work in 3G in Mexico?
It would be very helpful.
Thanks.
Mike
Maybe your Preferred Network Type is selected Only 2G?
Thanks but i tried in Auto and also selecting WCDMA only but it only receives 2G ...
Celphone is purchased in Europe but 3G works in all other countries out of Europe..

Hello to XDA community, as for the title let me clarify on my problem.
Recently I bought a used Samsung S6 SM-G920P from a shop. Then I realise that its a CDMA USA version, it cant receive 4G/LTE network in my country ( Malaysia / Asia ) but it can receive the 3G network. I really want to enable the 4G network, what must I do? Perhaps unlocking the network band or anything? Im lost
Thanks for advance.

Hello, first of all I want to say that my native language is Spanish and I am using the Google translator to write this, so there may be writing errors and apologize.
Buy a motorola edge x30 and the imported import from China. The phone is unlocked to be used with GSM networks from anywhere in the world. When I bought it, I was with Metro PCS but in Metro I was told that the phone was not compatible with the 3G networks of them. After that I started to investigate and find a web page called kimovil and there I saw that the edge x30 was compatible in the USA with all the networks of 3 suppliers: Cricket, AT & T and T-Mobile: I choose to use change to metro by T-Mobile.
Immediately I left the T-Mobile store after making the change I have tried and could receive and send SMS, receive and make calls, and get access to the Internet without any problem. After a couple of hours of having activated services with T-Mobile, the phone could not or receive more calls (the Internet and SMS continue to work normally, the problem is only with calls). When I try to call someone, the call is not done and says "Hanging Up". I tried everything: Factory Reset, Networks Reset, modify network configuration, everything ... and I can not solve the problem. I went to T-Mobile to tell you about my problem and they tell me that the problem is not them but my phone.
If anyone knows how to solve this problem, I would greatly appreciate the help because I feel frustrated. Thanks
I have MOTO EDGE x30 with T-Mobile. Work perfectly. Check the SIM setting.

Good afternoon. I already managed to use the Edge X30 with the T-Mobile network. You just had to put the network selector on automatic so that you can use 5G, LTE, 3G and 2G as you see fit. The problem is that I realized that the phone only calls and receives calls in 3G and 2G, which limits not only the quality of the calls but also limits your coverage to be able to make calls since you can only make them in 3G and 2G . You who also use T-Mobile, does the same thing happen to you?
I'm not sure, but it supports 5G in N1/N3/N5/N7/N8/N20/N28/N38/N41/N78 and 4G in B1/B2/B3/B4/B5/B7/B8/B12/B17/B34/B38/B39/B40/B41. or check volte settings.
you may try to install "carrier services" app by google from the play store. it solves some of my problem with data connection.

Yes I have the same issue. Whenever I make or receive voice calls, the phone falls back from LTE to 2G. I looked everywhere on the phone for 'VOLTE' settings but could not find it. Does VOLTE work for this phone on Tmobile? Very frustrating.
Has anyone been able to find the solution for the calls switching back to 2g? I love the phone but this is extremely annoying. I'm on T-mobile. Thank you
