Hi I'm noob to this site and I don't know anything about modifiying a phone so I need some help I bought a Korean samsung galaxy s3 shv-210l
I have service with red pocket but I only get data on G no 3G i don't know how to get it to get 3G or to show the calling numbers and have a problem with texting too I don't know if my settings are incorrect or is there anything else I need to do I was thinking may be if I root the phone than I may have better luck but I have no clue how to do that either so if any body have some sugestions I will really appreciate it very much.
Hello friend,
I just like you found my self with the same issue. I bought my phone over ebay and I'm pretty sure they seller knew that the phone was defective. At any rate I've read 8 similar cases in the internet about our phone not being able to connect to 3G, I went overseas and it was even worse it wouldnt even register in the networks.
from what I understand its a defect, and you like I are unlucky enough to have it. If you can return your phone I would recommend you do it, as others here have no issues with theirs. If you do happen to find a solution pls post it here I will spread it around to those affected. I no longer have the handset lost it in a trip and bought a note 2.

Hi guys,
I'm new to the forum. I've tried searching for some answers but can't seem to find how to resolve the problem. I'm quite new to using PPCs so let me know if there's any information that you guys need.
So my phone works fine in Canada using Rogers... but everytime I go to US, I cannot detect a network for my phone and there's a "!" at the top. I tried searching for a network and it says "no network found" or sometimes it tries to register and then it fails in the end. In US, my phone automatically shuts off... I have no idea how this happens but everytime I go to look at my phone after leaving Canada, it's off. So when I go to turn it back on, there's no phone signal. I have no idea what to do as I'm not very familiar with PPCs.
Thanks for the help!
Which phone are you trying to use? Guessing Touch Pro?
Is international roaming or data roaming added to your account with Rogers?
Hey I have the HTC Touch Pro... yeah I've used this sim with my eten m700 before and it works fine. It just always seem to be searching for a network then it can't find any.
Thanks!!!
are you a prepaid customer? if so, Rogers doesnt allow roaming outside of canada.
Hey there... Just figured I'd pipe in here...
I am still using a TyTN (shopping for a Touch Pro today), and although I was able to always use my phone in the states, since my last firmware upgrade (WM6.1, new radio stack)....
....I can't get any service when I cross the border.
SOMETIMES I'll get 10 minutes of service over the course of an entire day. Very strange.
It is obviously firmware-related... Good luck with your phone...!
Thanks for all the help guys...
Nope I'm not a prepaid customer... should I be upgrading something on my phone to see if it works? Sorry... really don't know much about PPCs here!
just out of curiousty, have you called Rogers to ask for an updated OTA to be pushed to your SIM?
I've contacted Rogers and they said it has nothing to do with them... it's my phone! Should I contact them for the OTA? I'm sorry to be so noobie but... what does OTA do?
Thanks again!
Anyone help please!!!
The other day i found the Galaxy s and dont use android cause i have a HD2 but was wondering if there is a way to reflash the phone so everything gets deleted off it, was gonna possibly give it to my brother or sell. I know Verizon uses CDMA as a band but is there anyway to use it for tmobile? Dont think so but someone might know more. Thanks!
whats up with posting two threads?
I would find the number or person that it belonged to and return it to them. Thats just me though. If I lost my phone I would like someone to do the same.
Hi guys!
I have recently got myself a galaxy tab 2 with 3g and as a personal carer I've been using my tablet to get me around to find pharmacies and addresses etc. I had been relying on this for the last week however this morning I was shocked to find three uk has blocked my 3g. I received an error message stating that the sim card is supposed for mobile phones, not tablets. Considering I use this as my phone I cannot understand the purpose!
Does anyone know of a way where I can trick my network into thinking this is a phone?

Go to 3 and ask for a new SIM (not MicroSIM) and also tell them about your problem
Hey everyone and thanks for taking the time to read this,
So the story goes as so: After doing some research couple months ago about the capability of the Verizon Galaxy S3 to work on T-mobile, i purchased it, and got it to successfully work on T-mobile(texts, calls, wi-fi). The problem is, i just recently upgraded to include a data plan, and i cannot access the internet, despite taking my phone to my cell phone dealer and contacting T-mobile.T-mobile even sent me a guide to do a mastery reset to factory in hopes to solve this problem, only to tell me afterwards that the phone version SCH-I535 is a "verizon locked-software" and i won't be able to set up an APN to work on the T-mobile network. This was all due to the fact that i was not able to set up a APN for T-mobile, and every time i tried to access it through setting, it brought me to a blank black page with the only option of "Reset to Default". After reading other forums and talking with some people, many have suggested i take this issue to XDA to find a solution.
So, here i am.....Does anyone know if it is possible for me to break/root/ or whatever it is called so i can successfully access the t-mobile network on my phone? Preferably an easier guide since i am sort of a newbie at this sort of stuff.
Thanks again for reading.
Hi,
I have an unlocked T-Mobile Galaxy S5 which I purchased in USA. After back to India and started using India SIM, often I get signal problems and only in streets or public area I get full signals. In office or home it says "No service" or "Searching". When I read articles and forums, I came to know that certain frequencies might be locked and I need to enable it. But I am not a developer or techie guy to root my device and perform it. Is there any alternative way to solve this issue? I am trying to resolve this but could not. I tried getting my phone to a authorized service centers. But they are about to charge huge money to check and fix it.
Appreciate anybody's help.
Regards,
Muthu
