Loopt app not available on South African carriers - Android Apps and Games

Guys,
A matter of concern,
I went to loopt.com to download the app for my X10 only to find out that its not available on South African network carriers (vodacom, MTN,CellC).
I have also being hearing that most GOOD apps for Blackberry and iPHONE are also not available on South African carriers.
How good are smartphones if you cant install good apps on them?
Have u guys found any other apps that are not available on ZA carriers?
im due for another upgrade this month-end and i want a smartphone with apps that will work in South Africa

Hi to all. Im the proud owner of an Htc evo Fully rooted and also a treo pro both on sprint network. I'm traveling to europe in 2 weeks and unfortunately i'm pretty sure neither of theses phones will work there. Could someone point me in the direction of a cheap way to call back home and maybe even have my family call me. I'm taking my MacBook so I've considered skype or maybe fring but have never used either so I'm not 100% of their capabilities any help would be greatly appreciated. Thxs in advance
I was told about this site... is this the best deal( or even a good deal) will be visiting the Uk, Netherlands, Germany, Italy, and France

Welcome to forums
Right, CDMA phones are only used in US and a few Latin American countries, the rest of the world uses GSM.
Some of CDMA devices have also the chance to insert a normal SIM card, not sure if your devices can...
If not I guess that link will save you from being connected while traveling on GSM world.

[Q] Advie taking my HTC HD2 Windows outside the UK to Europe,USA,S.E.Asia and OZ.

Hi all, I am a newbie *waves*
Got a question I can't seem to find on the internet, so I thought I would joing this forum to see if anyone can help.
I have an HTC HD2 using "Windows Mobile 6.5", on a contract, which I am going to cancel as I am well outwith my contractual agreement on the T-Mobile network in the United Kingdom.
My girlfriend and I are going travelling for a year, to numerous countries, including most of Europe, USA, Nepal, India, most of South East Asia and Australia. I am wondering if it is possible to use my HTC HD2 abroad, by unlocking from the T-Mobile network (not sure if that is the right terminology, sorry) so I can buy pay as you go Sim Cards from different networks in the countries above to keep costs down.
I was also informed that some phones do not work in certain countries because of tri-band, quad-band issues, again I am not clued up if the HTC HD2 will work in other countries, so any help on the matter would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.
Norman.

[Q] Market problems ahead?

So I'm getting this pad as a birthday present in July. I live in Italy, but I'm moving to Finland in August. I've heard there might be a problem with downloading market apps if I change countries. Is this true?
Basically what I'm after is that if I activate the product, while I am in Italy, will I still be able to download market apps in Finland, when I move there?

[Q] Will the Australian version of LG Optimus 3D work in the US?

I bought an unlocked LG Optimus 3D phone in Asia, and it's the Australian version. I was wondering if this is the international version and if I would be able to get 4G on T-Mobile in the US?
Also, I am having issues with the market in China, even on wifi and through a vpn. Having trouble accessing the gameloft site to download games as well.
You can use it in US, but you can't enable 4G because US version is P925 which has a different antenna to get 4G signal.
BTW, I remember that half year ago when I was in China, it is ok to download games from gameloft, maybe things change, the site may be banned by the government. :-(

CSC Nigeria NG!!! But i'm in the USA

So I have this S7 International version and I've been reading a lot and realized that my CSC is ECT for Nigeria NG I'm thinking this could be why my data is so damn slow compared to my HTC.... Is there a way to change this and how would I go about changing it... I'm on MetroPCS (T-Mobile) in the USA.
Thanks
go to sammobile . com and download the firmware you want and use Odin to install. Theres plenty of other software, whether it's UK, Luxemburg or any other. Plus you can get the latest April security update
I just wonderin what's the best country, I was thinking Austria T-Mobile but honestly I don't know much about Foriegn carriers
But seriously I waited 4 hours for a 2GB file to not gethalf way done I just stuck my sim in my HTC and it's halfway done in 5 minutes
Make sure whatever you download is of the 930F variant and not any of the snapdragon firmware. Most US based ones are of snapdragon type.
I know that I was just wondering if it matters what country I download whether it's Austria or Germany Poland UK etc
Holy crap this has fixed everything. I now for the first time have an LTE signal. Unfortunatly it's not rooted anymore but I"ll take being able to use the internet over having a linux distro on my phone any day
Glad to hear you sorted the problem. Best way to select ROMs is to look for countries with matching LTE bands to your carrier. Most likely case is that CSC might limit bands or do something on that area.
