Wrong country code Verizon

This problem probably has an easy solution but I just cant figure it out.
So im Swedish and I ordered a tp2 Verizon and unlocked it with unlock program.
Got everything to work, gsm and umts.
But when I dial numbers ex: 070 65 11 65 (swedish cellphone number)
I see on the screen it adds (1) 070 65 11 65 wich I guess is the
american or english country code.
Now if I type in +46 (Swedish country code)
in front of the cell number and and subtract the 0
+46 70 65 11 65
Everything works.
But for convenience I don't want to have type in my country code for every
cell number.
How do I fix this?
Ive been in region settings on the phone and changed to Swedish.
Someone please help

settings. personal. phone. then i think gsm services

Thanks but it didn't work.
It seems logical the settings to change that would be there though.
I played around with settings on location setting in there. Didn't change anything.
The settings i have on gsm settins are the following:
Call barring
Caller ID
Voice mail and text messages
Pin/pin2
Location setting
tty mode
Time synchronizaion
Am I missing any settings?
I also tried rebooting in cdma mode without gsm sim card and changing
country to Sweden in the cdma settings. Then rebooting again with sim card in gsm
mode.
I didnt try this before but i can call local land line number no problems
but if i try a swedish cellphone number without country code it still
wants to add (1) in front of it.
So annoying.
Any ideas?

hklm-->software-->OEM-->phonesetting and then choose autoprepend_1 and change the "Data" value from 1 to 0.

Ok so im guessing that hklm means changing some registry setting.
I haven't done that before.
Can you recomend a good app for this?
Besides this do you think that this problem might be tied to
using a verizon stock rom and that verizon is an american operator?
If i change to an international rom later do you think I would have this problem?

I know of no international cdma roms. use phm regedit or even easier use CEregreditor from computer with phone connected by activesync.

I used resco explorer 2010,
I didnt have autopretend setting on Phonesetting.
I had something called assisted dialing, wich is something that comes up
whenever i dial a number it says above the number dialing (assisted dialing)
That setting seems to be on (1)
And I have audioredial no value set,
The rest is
Bandtype
Callbarring
CalledId
CallforwardingGsm
CallWaiting
CurrentCountrySetting (no value set)
DNDMode
EmergencyCallAlert
FDN
LocationSetting
NBCDSetting
NetworkService
NetworkType
OutOfCoverageAlert
PIN
RoamingAlert
SwicthNAM
TimeSync
TtyMode
VMailTextMSG
VoiceMail
VoicePrivacy

After a closer I look I found
ShowAutoPrependPage under phonesetting
I changed that value from 0 to 1 but nothing happend.
damn..

Rhodium 500,
thanks for your help and pointing me in the right direction.
Really appreciate it.
I disabled "Assisted Calling" in registry settings and that solved my problems

it was to easy
1-click the call button to see the dial keypad
2- click menu
3- choose global smart dialing
4- disable global smart dialing
5- press ok

abvmoose and others,
How do I turn on Assisted Dialing? I have no entries under HKLM-->SOFTWARE-->OEM-->PhoneSetting--> AssistedDialing?
Please let me know the entries in this folder so I can turn assisted dialing on.
Thanks!

Motorola Dext - No Imei/APN/Signal

Hi, I don't know what the hell has happened to this phone but after looking at it I can see there is no IMEI, no APN settings and no signal.
The phone has recently been unlocked from Orange to allow the use of an O2 Sim card. Using one of those internet unlock sites. It has been working fine for the past 2 weeks since unlock.
I don't really know what information to give;
Signal: red circle bar
APN: empty, I tried to add an APN to the list but it would not save. It just goes back to an empty screen.
Network: unknown
signal strength: 0dBm 0asu
mobile netowrk type: unknown
service state: out of service
mobile network state: disconnected
IMEI: Unknown
IMEI SV: Unknown
Any help would be awesome

im having the same problems but i managed mine to detect and display my network name but still no signal
i am seeing my imei and imeisv (20)
dial this on the dialer *#*#4636#*#* and in that settings go to phone info scroll all the way down make sure radio is on
and select gsm only but thats as much as i can come up with im stuck still with signal strength 0 dbm 0 asu

ok i was doing some reading. and i found it to be possible that the phone doesnt have the apn settings for all networks in built, so putting in your current carriers apn settings manually should work, im going to try this to see if it works, i just saw the part where you said you tried this but it wouldnt save, still going to give it a shot, mine was also unlocked from orange to use on digicel jamaica networks and it worked for about 2 weeks, then BAM! red anti circle for signal or circle with slash through it or cancel icon. and nooooo signal none whatsoever. but with the *#*#4636#*#* settings i managed to get it to display my carriers name when i drag the notifications menu down. i dont know if flashing the radio will fix this but i was told this moto cliq has the latest radio already. still searching for solutions
this problem is all over with 0 solutions lol
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...ock-phone-with-code-and-now-no-sim-card-work/

I managed to solve the problem a couple of weeks after making the thread by simply rooting it and installing a custom ROM, I think it came with a radio flash as well but can't remember. It's my sisters phone and it seems as though she hasn't had any problems with it since then so all is good.

[Q] Droid 2 Global

N00B here! but tried to gather as much info as I could..
Got a VZW droid 2 global from ebay that the seller profiled as "unlocked"
I'm in Central America and trying to register it with a GSM 850/1900 carrier but it won't connect to the network at all.
It had a 14 IMEI code... found it's translation to 15 to 17 IMEI and bought a the unlock code on a site. I got the unlock code but the phone has nowhere to enter it.
Found a post stating that it should ask for the code after inserting a foreign sim card or waiting 30 minutes if nothing happens. tried that and there's no prompt.
I have accessed the testing menu with *#*#4636#*#* and select the GSM only and WCDMA preferred (I got an HTC Inspire 4G working with that one here) and it is recognizing the GSM 850/1900 local carriers but unable to get any network access from them.
Found that VZW locks the carrier's network ids but the phone is recognizing them.
Again: ir recognizes the networks but is not asking for an unlock code... all the posts states to enter the code but they don't say how (the phone must prompt it automatically)
Please let me know if there is any way to manually pull up the field to enter the unlock code or if I can try anything else to unlock it
Thanks!

First, the phone's IMEI is written on the label under the battery.
Second, if you switch it to GSM mode it will output the IMEI in *#06# and in Settings, About phone, Status.
The 14 digit code you mentioned is probably MEID in hex form.
Switching to GSM is done by going to Settings, Wireless & networks, Mobile networks, Network Mode.
Using the service menu you mentioned is wrong and can lead to the phone being unable to connect to GSM at all, in which case you must reflash the SBF.

Actually I got the unlock code but there is nowhere to enter it.
Also it allowed to me to at least view the available networks after changing it to GSM/WCDMA and seems to be trying to connect to one but there's no signal at all.
If I do a network search now it will show me the available networks 5 or 6 (2G&3G), selected one and it just shows that it is not able to connect to that network
BTW, found that the radio was off as well and had to switch it on using the testing menu because by going to Settings, Wireless & networks, Mobile networks didn't allow me to access it at all, it was just grayed out and there was no way I could turn on the radio using that option..... sorry... I think I got everything I need except where to enter the unlock code

It looks like you have successfully (like other people before you) fried the GSM radio settings. Congratulations.
You need to flash the SBF to reset the phone's radio module to its original state.
If you actually bought a phone that was already unlocked it won't ask for an unlock code.
A locked phone asks for the code the moment you power it on and let it boot with a non-Verizon SIM card.
The code you supposedly bought is not for your phone at all, because you requested it for an IMEI you made yourself from something that was never an IMEI.

For me, The unlock screen appear only on original rom with non-verizon sim.
not appear on custom rom.

[Q] Nexus S is not getting Mobile network(GSM) signal

Hi All,
I got a Nexus S (I9020T) from US. I am trying to use it in India with a GSM carrier - BSNL ( gsm 900Mhz).
Problem :
When ever I am inserting GSM Sim, it catches the signal (both gsm + data) but after 3-5 minutes only gsm signal is lost. I cannot make or receive calls, it says emergency call only.
I tried to make call, it says "no mobile network available". Where as i could surf the net with 3g data plan.
what I did :
1) I tried to reboot the phone. Still no signal.
2) I tried to remove battery and sim , and put it back and switch on. Still no signal.
3) I tried to dial *#*#4636#*#* . Enter into phone information-->Select preferred network type to - WCDMA preferred, GSM only (all GSM options tried)
and reboot the phone. Still no help.
Please help me. I am completely frustrated.
Regards,
Rajesh

Contact your provider , they might be blocking your device for some reason ...

Have you added the new APN?
(I'm assuming you're on 4.0)
Settings --> More... --> Mobile networks --> Access Point Names --> Press menu button and select "New APN"
Google the APN settings for your provider and input them. Make sure you remember to press menu and SAVE APN when your finished.

Yes, I added APN..(it automatically appeared) and also I am able to surf the net due to 3G data plan, but strangely i am not able to make any calls nor receive any calls, it says no mobile network available

What is the version of your baseband? You can check it in Settings/About or in Fastboot/Bootloader mode.
What is the model written beneath your battery on the sticker?

Hi, baseband version - I9020XXKI1
Kernel Version - 3.0.8-g6656123
model -I9020T

The baseband is OK. It supports 900 MHz operation. You should contact your operator regarding this issue, it can happen they use special/non-standard GSM solutions (frequency sets, etc.) which is not supported by this phone.
You can try switching to 2G mode only (you can find this in Settings/Mobile networks).
You should check in this mode the signal in Settings/About/Status (in dBm).
If it's below -100 dBm then signal coverage is poor or unsupported frequencies are used by your operator or your HW radio chip is corrupted.
To rule out the last possibility, you should check your signal and dBm value with a SIM card from another operator.
UMTS functionality is handled by a separate chip (not by GSM radio), so it can happen 3G is OK but GSM (2G) not.

Thanks for reply..n helping me out.
I believe my carrier BSNL uses standard GSM frequencies..samsung note, galaxy series pretty much work with it.
I tried switching to 2G mode, same problem.
I checked signal strength : it varies from -91dBm to -93dBm.
I inserted other GSM carrier SIM , same problem - no signal.
This Nexus S mobile was working fine with T-mobile when I was in USA.
It seems some Hardware radio incompatibility or something else..God Knows!!

One thing i noted, it identifies the carrier correctly in Settings-->About-->Status-->Network
IMEI(*#06#) shows different from the IMEI written under battery.

Are you using Custom Rom?

Your /efs is corrupted and some carriers block generic IMEIs, that's where your issue lies
Sent from my ice cream powered Nexus S

Wrong IMEI
Yes my /efs is corrupted. My IMEI shows 004999010640000.
I came to know it happened due to flashing custom ROMs ( Ohh god why did i flash custom ROM) .
I used CWM. This didn't back up my /efs folder and hence the problem.
Its my bad luck, even i did not read any suggestion to back up /efs folder in any guide for flashing custom ROM.
Its really waste of time and effort on my part to go for Android. So much complexity for just a cellphone.
I would better go for iPhone. (Thank God , no custom IOS).
RIP - my Nexus S.
Thanks everybody for helping me and answering me.

The IMEI can be restored, so your Nexus S can be made registered on your operator's network. Instructions to do so can be found, but it can be illegal in your country. Modifying an IMEI is generally is, but if it's done for restoring purposes, then it might not fall in the same category.

The problem with your statement is, that these are not just cellphones, much more minicomputers (with GSM radio and UMTS modem).

Android is far better customizable and not proprietary software as iOS. Apple can keep its price unrealistically high. They cost far much than their real value. So they are bought not because their usefulness, rather to show other people that one can afford it.

How to force 3g in Moto G

Hi:
The Moto G has the options of choosing between 3G and 2G networks but 3G option doesn't force. I mean, if 3G signal is weak sometimes it changes to 2G and is not easy to return 3G network.
I know there is and android code:
*#*#4636#*#*
That code theoretically could force to 3G. I have not used it because I don't know exactly how to use it and I would know if is possible to recover the original state once it has been used.
I know there is an app called Phone testing that could do the same
Has anybody used this app? Does it work with Moto G? Is it possible to recover original state if something goes wrong?
I have found some threats at this forum with this topic but there is not an easy solution.

Thanks, I knew this. In this set there are only two possibilities 2G or 3G.
If 3G is setted means that if a 3G network is available and the signal is strong enough then the phone will try to connect this network But sometimes if the signal is not very strong the phone will change to 2G. The problem arises because the phone decides too fast to change to 2G.
I know in other phones there is a set that forces only 3G. This option is not available in Moto G and I'm searching how to force only 3G.

Ok thanks:
The possible options are:
GSM only
WCDMA only
GSM auto (PRL)
CDMA auto (PRL)
CDMA only
EvDo only
GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)
LTE/GSM auto (PRL)
LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)
LTE only
Unknown
To force 3G "WCDMA only" must be chosen.
And to return to the original state, what is the option "GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)" or "CDMA auto (PRL)" or "Unknown"?

In the last post I think I was wrong. The option to return to the original state must be "WCMDA preferred".
Thanks.

Bro, That #*#*4636#*#* doesnt work on my phone, actually no codes work on my phone, when i press the last * then the dialer comes, nothing happen. Pls help me out. I want also an Auto mode for preferred network type. Where 3G network is available it will work on 3G and where 3G is not available, it will automatically switch to 2G and then again 3G where its applicable.

3G only in MOTO G
You should use data sim in slot 1.
