Samsung Captivate on Rogers network

Hey all,
I searches but I did not get find an answer. Anyways, if to get Captivate from States, will it work on Rogers network with 3g.
I saw that to change APN setting. Do those work?
The reason, I have Xperia x10 and looking to get this phones as well. for Xperia x10, I had to root in order to change radio frqs to get 3g connection.
Therefore, is it same with Samsung or just unlock should do the trick?

It should work. Rogers android phones work on AT&T. they use the same frequencies. You'll have to unlock the AT&T captivate first though, and then change the APN settings to work on Rogers for data.

perfect, less headache then. thnx for the reply

Hey Man
I have an at&t captivate on the rogers network and it works great the only thing i had to do was enter the apn. other then that everything else works perfect outta the box

I have Captivate on Rogers, works fine, just type in APN settings (Google rogers APN) and you will be 3G without issues. I would suggest also making sure you grab the file on your Captivate to decode the unlock codes before you apply any cooked ROMS and write down those codes in a safe place.

Great to see positive replies. I had Storm with no 3G, kinda sucks, main point for me for getting phone plus all other good things

Rogers will be releasing the captivate next week, but anyhoo mine works just fine on rogers.

I know, I have to wait for upgrade option for this phone until Xmas but desire to have it now

HELP!!!
I have a captivate from rogers. Used the odin flash and it changed my phone to an AT&T Worldphone. Any way to get back to factroy. If not will the rogers release of 2.2 fix this?

That's because you used the One click Odin. Grab the full Odin3, and use http://www.megaupload.com/?d=R4XRLA5X in the PHONE slot.
Also, make your own thread next time.

Thank you very much, sorry for the post issue, new to this whole thing!

I just installed cognition for 2.1. And for whatever reason when i go to add my APN back in, when i change the MNC from the default 72 to 720 it cannot save the settings and instead deletes any information that had been already saved.
I saw a way to edit the build.prop file in the hopes of hard coding the apn number in there, but for whatever reason i cant find the entry the post talks about.
Any help would be appreciated.
Oh, i installed the v2.1.7 Unhelpfuls Kernel from cognition. Trying to revert back to stock now.

if u use odni3 on a rogers phone this works to enable 3g
thx guys , i recently used odni to restart my frozen phone but my 3g wasnt workin but it is now thx

Any method to enable 3g data network on Samsung mesmerize ?

Hello,everybody here,I have flashed the US cellur Samsung mesmerize to the CDMA carrier in China and I can not enable 3G data network connection.there is no 3G flag on the top of the screen.
Could you please tell me how I can do to enable 3G data network connection ? thanks in advance
BTW:I just find the method to do that on Samsung Fascinate by the secret code of *#4636*1111#,but this doesn't work on Samsung mesmerize .

I probably sound really dumb but you could try using SwitchPro or Extended Controls or something and hit the data connection widget and see what happens.

Thanks for your suggestion,I had tried SwitchPro before,but it doesn't work either

what bands is your carrier using in China?

Hello,
I want to make sure I understand what you are saying. You bought a USCC Mesmerize (i assume on line from someone) and you flashed your carrier's image to the USCC Mez?
If so, you will need your carriers PRI flashed onto the phone. The PRI contains the network information needed to create the DMU Key for data authentication. CDMA is different from GSM in that I could not take my CDMA phone with the USCC PRI and try to add the phone to say Verizon's network. The tools needed for this are very hard to find and the PRI is even harder to find. Your only hope (that I am aware of) is to see if your CDMA carrier would be willing to do this for you.
Good Luck

I think china uses its own brand of CDMA....
It might be PCDMA or something

You probably can't use your phone in China because it has Google on it

Sprint Nexus S 4g on Boost Mobile - Questions

I flashed my NS4G to Boost... it was a long and agonizing road, but I think i finally got it working correctly.
my phone is currently 100% stock with gingerbread 2.3.7
since this was such a stressful flash, i'm kind of worried about "not fixing what's not broken"...
however, i'd love to re-root it and flash a custom ROM. Will doing this mess up any of the modifications i had to do to get calls, text, and data to work?
(they were all done in QPST)
I'm not going to do it until i have confirmation... so let me know and ease my mind!
thanks
-Randy

i also have a nexus 4g on boost. i've just about had every kernal and rom on this board for it (both gingerbread and ICS)
i hope that helps.

so a standard rom flash will retain all boost settings?

yes.
keep in mind mms fix only works on gingerbread as far as i know.
the APN can't be changed on ICS roms.

If you use voice dialer and say "open APNs", it will let you edit the apn. Does this not work to get mms working?

what you are talking about can not be talked about as it is illegal to change the esn and meid all all other device identifiers that are registered to the fcc. Each phone has a unique id to it that is represented to the fcc. I have also been talking with Boost employess and area managers and boost is getting ready to kick off the users who have "flashed" phones on Boost that do not belong on boost. This is going to be done as Boost can still tell what type of phone you have other then the esn / meid as the device still sends out certain other device ids to the network when you use certain programs. Also by trying to send updates to your phone sprint can request the system information from your phone that can tell them the actual make and model and firmware and all that you are running. And you thought carrier iq was bad...
if you wait a few months or so the evo 3d will be on sprints virgin mobile with ics included and sense 3.6...
Boost mobile will be getting the HTC Evo design 4g soon as well...
i myself dont understand why boost is going 4g when sprint is going lte... but another stupid move by sprint.

does anyone have a link to a how to flash my nexus s 4g to boost? I'd really like to do this. cant afford sprint anymore...

Thunderbolt on Page Plus

OK. So I successfully flashed and rooted this HTC Thunderbolt from Verizon to Page plus but the data isn't working at all. Now I did the PRL already through CDMA workshop and even tried the APN backup and Restore app. There is a manual way to input the APN under Settings just like if I would set a GSM phone up for Simple Mobile or T-mobile. Does anyone know that setting? What is the MMSC FOR PAGE PLUS? Come on Devs and local shops! HELP!
And no one allowed to get in and say it is impossible... I have done the Droid 2 Global to Simple Mobile (US Radio Band Flash), The Virgin Mobile Optimus V to Page Plus with ICS, and much more.... All POSSIBLE with Android. The calls, text all work perfectly and it is not looking for 4G LTE. I know Page plus can't help. In fact, they were shocked I got this one working. LOL. They said. "Sorry we know nothing about 4G LTE phones at this time". That because they don't program at all! You can't OTA with this model. I need ANSWERS!

Captivate wifi calling with t-mobile sim card

Hi, I have a question about my Samsung captivate that is unlocked and running CM9. I have a phone plan with tmobile, and was wondering if I could get the wifi calling feature that is on the vibrant on my captivate. I am comfortable with flashing custom roms and the like, so if I have to make some changes, that is fine.
In short, my question is “Can I get the wifi calling app that is available on the tmobile vibrant on my unlocked captivate running CM9”.
Thanks, Ben Finch

I'm going to assume you have an up to date SIM from T-Mobile. Some older cards that came out just about the time the vibrant did were incompatible with Wi-Fi calling, and required people to get new ones. So, if it doesn't work, that's a possibility.
I work in a phone store, got to see that action first hand.
As for Wi-Fi calling, you shouldn't have to hack unless you're running a stock Rom on the captivate that has unknown source installations (side loading) blocked by default. If that's the case, browse the stickies.
Wi-Fi calling, last I checked, was simply a regular apk. Check out the vibrant and galaxy s 4g forums, I'm sure it's posted there somewhere. I'm out of town and using my phone, otherwise I'd be able to extract it from my wife's g2 and post it. PM me if you don't find it there, I think I can get it from my desktop eventually.

Hi Ben,
I'm having the same exact issue. Did you ever find a solution? If so, please advise. Both Samsung and T-Mobile reps say it's not possible to have Wi-Fi calling with Captivate. Seems there should be a way.
