[Q] UK Nexus S - Using in Spain with Spanish SIM

Hi guys,
I have 2 x Nexus S SIM free mobiles which I bought from Car Phone Warehouse in the UK, which we are using now in Spain.
Both handsets have SIM's for the Simyo network (Which is basically Orange's network).
Even though both handsets are unlocked to all networks, I constantly have the roaming icon showing, and I have to enable roaming and data roaming to have coverage.
Now I know beyond any doubt the handsets are NOT roaming.
Has anyone encountered this bug in the Nexus S please, it is really annoying.
Regards
not a bug, simyo has its own network code, which is different from orange's. Therefore, when you use orange's network, it's roaming. Simyo and orange have a roaming agreement, just like yoigo and movistar.
For now, you'll have to enable data roaming for data to work. (there was a discussion somewhere about not labeling it roaming when the country code is the same, which is the case for most of MVNOs)

Thanks for that info. My misses is saying she tried a mates Orange SIM and that it did not show roaming.
However, we also both had Nexus One's, which we purchased here in Spain. Did not get the roaming icon when using the Simyo cards on those...
It is bloody annoying, as we also loose connectivity sometimes and keep having to re-enter the passwords to our google accounts :-\

Ah, you can fix that!
simyo uses dual sim cards (sims with 2 numbers), to make their roaming agreements easier to manage internationally. When you go abroad, it switches from the spanish number to a netherlands one, i believe (though you don't notice it), just like if you changed the sim card.
The thing is, the switch is made when the sim card detects no service for a while. Problem is, that can happen when you lose signal for a while (underground parking, metro, etc...) And what happens when you change your sim card on an android device? yes, you lose google login.
Solution is to lock the sim card to use the spanish number always. You need a phone with STK app (sim menus), and you need to go to Servicio Simyo -> servicio roaming -> seleccion de red -> Seleccion manual -> Nacional. All nokias can access this menu, for example, but stock nexus doesn't have a stk app.
After changing that, hopefully you won't see the login error again. And about the nexus one: it must use a slightly different method to determine roaming, something I don't really know too well.
Woo, OK thank you for the info. Never knew about the dual number thing. Interesting...
This STK stuff, you know of any app for Android mate?
Regards
Hi, just to confirm, I did manage to fix the SIM issue, I borrowed a mates Nokia 1200 and as you said, I entered the STK menu and switch it to Nacional.
MANY THANKS!!

[Q] No 3g/gsm on htc desire with French sim card

Hi, I have got an unlocked htc desire, which worked normally in the uk with a vodafone sim. I have put in a french sim (with 500Mb data per month on contract) and can use the phone but not get mobile data. I have set the phone to data while roaming, but with no access to data.
Can anyone help with a solution to get the phone to receive data I desire?

You will need to input the correct Access Point Name (APN) for the French carrier you are using. You can google to get 'XXX APN settings', then enter the APN under 'Access Point Names' in Settings > Wireless and Networking.
Good luck!

[Q] No connection

I updated manually to 4.04 I9023
My problem is: i am a dutch guy with a contract with Vodafone NL. I work in Holland but live in germany, everyday i cross the border from holland to germany. In holland everything is working fine, but when i cross the border in germany to go home, no connection avaible, even search avaible networks, vodafone De is found, but i cant make a connection. no service
Anyone an idea what to do.
have you tried to talk with your mobile operator ?
they have an option to unlock your sim so he will work only to the home country.
second thing i can think of is enable roaming at network settings
Problem solved, had smething to do with the fire in holland at an vodafone point

[Q] Tethering in Turkey

don't know if this is the right place to ask, i'll try it anyway.
I would like to make a connection with my mobile network on my cellphone whilst on holiday in Turkey.
I was going to buy a turkish data sim card only to do just that.
However, as this is possible in almost every country, this appears not to be in Turkey. I read that the Turkish authorities block every cellphone which is not registered in Turkey, so even with a Turkish data sim, they would block the signal after a week.
Now I wonder...would it help if I do put a Turkish data sim in my (Belgian) phone and connect with a server in Turkey through a VPN ?
Would this be a solution or wouldn't it help at all ?
Is there another way to try and use my data connection to tether so I can use my tablet in my room ?
Thanks for a useful reply.
:good:

Hi
There of illegal importing is so high, Turkey blocks the phones according to IMEI number. When you use a Turkish sim-card your telephone will be blocked in 15 days.
I do not think that using a VPN account solves your problem, because as I said they are blocking according to IMEI number.
UPDATE
You should go to the sim card store that you buy. Turkcell, Avea, or Vodafone whatever it is, and they will record your IMEI in the Turkish system for free.
Foreigners do not have to pay anything for that.
