SM-N976U Is this a device problem? - Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers

I have a Note 10+ 5g that the screen cracked. Repair for this costs more than I could buy a used one on eBay for, so I went the eBay route. The eBay phone was a T-Mobile phone but I have Mint. After calling T-Mobile and giving them the IMEI, they told me the phone isn't network locked but when I set the Access Point Name for Mint network and inserted my SIM, it will not work meaning it isn't connecting to Mint's mobile network. Upon calling Mint, they told me it is a device problem. I tried my SIM and my wife's SIM in the eBay phone and neither work although they work fine in our original phones. Is this fixable or did I waste my money on eBay?

Try clearing data in sim toolkit app.
Network reset.
If the sim card is configured correctly it should fire right up.
Return it for a refund if you can't get it working.

I'm not familiar with this app. Can you find it on the play store?

Unlocked Bell HD7 (T9295) on AT&T

If you don't already know, the unlocked Bell HD7's 3G bands are the needed bands required for AT&T (850,1900). I received my unlocked Bell HD7 from Negri Electronics today and I was super excited to get it going on AT&T here in The States but ran into a very weird problem...
Basically, I can't connect to 3G/HSDPA/EDGE internet. Now, the weird thing is that it SHOWS I'm using AT&T and that indeed I am on HSDPA (see pics below). Calling and messaging work fine BTW. If I want to do anything requiring data, the 3G/HSDPA/EDGE connection won't work and I'm forced to use wifi.
I'm tired of hard-reseting and flipping switches on and off... I just hard-reset the bastard one last time and now I wait for your advise. What do I do? Thanks in advance

first, very jealous of you my friend. my guess is you would have to set up at&t apn. i don't know at&t apn setting so you would have to google that. hope you got it to work.
Sweet! I found the APN settings as you said and now I'm fully connected . Thank you very much!

[HELP] Data not working....broken SIM tray?

I think the SIM tray on my GSM Galaxy Nexus has taken a ****. Today, my data connection just dropped for no reason, showing no bars, just an outline. I figured my SIM card had slipped or some software bug, so I removed and reinserted my SIM and rebooted, but still nothing. I've messed with the SIM several times and flashed CM10.1 clean, still nothing. Tried flashing a backup, and again, still nothing. So I'm pretty sure it's a HARDWARE issue rather than a software issue.
So I swapped SIMs with my friend, her SIM wouldn't work either, but mine worked perfectly fine in her phone.
Is there anything I've missed? Can the T-Mobile store check my SIM slot to ensure that is indeed the issue?
Thanks in advance for the help....
Anyone have a suggestion?

my simslot wasn't working anymore so i brought it to the dutch samsung service center they did 27 days to return it not fixed. i have placed a little piece of magazine cover between the outside of my simslot and the sim it self and now it is working just fine. and i have learned a lesson try to repair it yourself first before sending it to samsung.

Verizon Galaxy Note 4 can't use with H20 wireless carrier.

Hi guys, I just bought a galaxy note 4 Verizon which was unlocked on Ebay.
I have been used the H20 wireless carrier for a year with my Htc one m8 ( At&t ), and it's working perfectly. Then I decided to change to Note 4.
But when I installed the sim card to this note 4, it kept saying that " Sim card is not from Verizon".
Absolutely I got nothing about the signal even though I tried many ways to fix it.
On the left top conner on menu screen, " Searching for network" keep showing.
Here is a few thing that I did to make it worked, but nothing happened:
- Force stop Activate Agent
- Factory Setting
- Change mobile network to Global, and Gsm..
etc,.
What am I supposed to do now? Do I need to buy a code from Ebay to unlock my phone? But I dont think the sim-lock is the problem. Thanks guys for reading.
Try adding this APN. If not, H20 Wireless is an MVNO of AT&T.
Just use one of AT&T's APN settings.

I try with device unlock and it fails with this
I dont have any TMO card
I checked my IMEI on TMO database, it shows status OK
checked also on Mexican organism for it, and it also shows status OK
So i came to think, something like "unlock is gone"
Has any of you have come across something like this?
Really need to be able to recover my phone line x.x
Thanks a lot in advance for your replies

Question How to check whether device is SIM lock or neverlock?

Greetings.
Could you please advise how to check whether I can just insert any of my sim cards or if the device is locked?
I know about this URL https://store.google.com/us/repair
I've tried to post there the IMEI of the phone I wanted to buy, but it looked me the following result:

I was concerned about "AT&T" string so I haven't bought this device (just don't want to play with soft unlock).
Does it really show the reality of lock status?
Thank you.
Hi. That's only telling you it's the AT&T "variant" of the Pixel 6 Pro - not that the phone is locked. You might have to call AT&T and give them the IMEI, and see if they can tell you if the device has since been carrier unlocked because I *think* they only unlock the carrier after the original person has paid the phone off.
It has definitely happened before where someone bought a phone recently and only then found they couldn't use it with their carrier because it was locked to a different carrier, so it does happen.
If through your efforts, you can't determine 100% that the phone is now carrier unlocked, I wouldn't take the chance. Buy an already unlocked phone straight from Google, or anyone retailer that sells the factory unlocked model.
