Captivate Unlock and use with tmobile Tzones hack?

Has anyone unlocked their captivate? how did you do so, buy an unlock code? and has any one attempted to use it with tmobile tzones hack. since it is quad band, technically it should work with tmobile 3g and since tmobile doesnt have the imei's the tzones hack should theoretically work. i am just looking for conformation before i give up my nexus for this device.
any one have any insights?

No unlock yet. Check around the forums. It's being discussed here:

Sorry to bust your bubble, but the AT&T Samsung Captivate handles these 3G bands [3G UMTS/HSDPA (850/900/1900/2100 MHz)].
Notice that there is no 1700 (AWS) band, which is Tmobile's 3G band. So at most even if you successfully get it unlocked you'll be limited to 2.5G EDGE only on Tmobile, no 3G.

true, I have unlocked Captivate with my T-Mobile SIM from work and it shows only Edge anywhere, even next to cell tower at work where I was getting full bars 3G on MyTouch.
Is there any way around it?

So does this phone work with Tzone or Web2Go including GPS and push email? Thanks

I have my Captivate unlocked and its working on T-Mobile, except for data
Anyone know what the APN settings might be that work? The T-Mobile SIM I have in the phone has a data plan attached to it. Ive tried all the APN's I could find on the web (at least 4 variations) and none seem to give me EDGE. I know the 3G wont work, but Im just curious about getting at least the EDGE to work.
Thanks in advance!

EDIT: It seems one of the APNs worked for me, I just had to restart the phone after entering it.

i have an un-captivate.. everything seems to work fine but yes.. only 2g's
incredible phone.. im on wifi most of the time.
what do you mean by your data doesnt work?

Thanks for the reply. I edited my post, it started working after I restarted the phone. Originally it was showing full service but no Edge icon, thus nothing data related was working (almost everything, haha). Voice calls in and out were fine, but nothing else. Once I restarted the phone it fired up and was on Edge just fine. I have since swapped back to my AT&T sim because Im evaluation their service in my area, but I wanted to know it would work on T-Mobile in case I cancel AT&T so I can keep the phone

The link I posted above your quote has a MMS/MMSC address in it.
This was all formatted for use on an iPhone so I'm not sure how the fields differ on the Captivate. But good luck to you all trying to get it working.

Thank you for your time but still a no go.

Phone does not get data signal

Hi, last night I installed that odin ICS leak, and my phone does not get data connection. I have a good amount of bars, and it says network type HSPA, but I dont get the 4g / lte icons. There is no IP address, and no data coming in at all.
I checked the APN settings, and its empty.
What APN should I add to make my data work?

Same, we may just need to try a reflash though..

So far works great for regular HSPA though

Derp. I should have tried that in the first place.

You might just try going into the APN's screen, and hitting menu - reset to default.
Not sure about the ICS settings because I've been on call since the leak, but in theory it should work

Cant Make Calls- ICS

Hey guys,
Im currently using a i727r on ICS and i seem to have a really weird problem. I seem to be able to call when I flash a rom, but then out of the blue, it just stops working and i cannot make any calls. I can still send texts and stuff but just no calling. I have tried both UCLD and UCLC modems and roms but I still get the same problem. However, this problem doesnt happen on GB with the UCLA modem.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem, and if so did you solve it? Thanks for the feedback

Woops!
Well i meant for this to be mostly stating a problem i realized with ICS rather then a question thats why I thought I would post here.

Rogers
I see you're on Rogers, like me.
Turns out the modem settings default to ATT so the GSM band is limited to ATT.
You have to go *#2263# in the phone dialer
- Select GSM Band Preference
- Select GSM ALL
- hit the left haptic button and select END
I hope this helps.
EDIT: Doh! I just realized this turns off data. Must be something wrong with the LTE APN setting.

Ya I just realized that too. Thanks for the help anyways, guess im sticking to GB

OK so I was able to narrow the problem down.
So, I flashed ICS, calls worked.
Changed APNs still worked no LTE though.
Finally, did the *#2263# and set the LTE band as prefered. Then I rebooted, and I got LTE but lost calling.
So its definitly the band or the apn thats causing this problem. So now its just choose between LTE or calling which sucks.
Hope that helps.
Going to try the UCLD2 roms now, ill report back in a few

uhh bud, the problem could be u only half did this right. After u enable all lte bands u have to menu > exit, dial back in using *#2263#* and then select automatic and then reboot.
There is no such thing as voice over LTE, its data only. When in call ur phone automatically switches to 4g, but u have auto turned off right now

Oh alright, well Im not gunna try that right now as i got it to work on UCLD2 modem and dont want to mess it up.
But ya thanks for the help everyone

I solved it by adding these 3 APNs. You also need to go back into *#2263# and select LTE, let it establish connection, then go back and change it to Automatic. Note that LTE isn't everywhere so just because you don't get LTE doesn't mean it doesn't work.

[Q]No Data Connection After Update (Consumer Cellular)

I have an AT&T branded Galaxy SII i727 Skyrocket (4G LTE). It is not unlocked, has not been rooted and runs AT&T firmware. The phone was purchased independent of a contract (eBay). I am a very light user, but I find it convenient to have a data plan and initially used AT&T GoPhone prepaid. Phone and SMS worked properly on AT&T right away, but some tweaking was required to get data to work. After a few months, I switched to Consumer Cellular (AT&T MVNO). Again, data did not work at first, but CC's tech support gave me revised Access Point Name settings and all became as it should have been.
Recently (I don't remember exactly when, but it was in early or mid December), I finally gave in to the phone's insistence on updating to a later firmware version. From then on, I have been unable to get data to work at all. the 4G symbol no longer appears (although I doubt it was ever actually a 4G connection) and any App that requires a data connection (web, email, etc) complains about no connection. WiFi, on the other hand, works properly with all such Apps.
Here are the specifics of my phone:
Samsung SGH-I727
Android 4.04
Baseband Version I727UCLI3
Kernel Version:
3.0.8-1127534
[email protected]#1
SMPPREEMPT Thu Sep 27 23:12:45 KST 2012
2012​Build number IMM76D.UCLI3​
My questions are these:
Has anyone had this sort of problem (data on Consumer Cellular fails after upgrade)? If so, how did you solve it?
Was this problem caused by the upgrade? If not, what other issues might have caused it and how can they be corrected?
How can I revert the firmware to the previous version to confirm the cause and/or resolve it?
What else can I do to get my data connection back?
I am not particularly Android savvy, but I am not shy about making changes in settings and/or installing fixes.
Thanks,
Tenaya

Consumer Cellular APN settings for Skyrocket i727
I recently moved my service from AT&T to Consumer Cellular using my existing Samsung Skyrockets. The new phone signal is identical to that of the old as far as I can tell. (same towers) My issue came when trying to setup my text and data side of my Samsung Skyrocket. The settings provided by CC on their website are incomplete. Be prepared to speak with a 2nd level tech to accomplish all of the connections required on "their" end. Here are the APN settings that are working on my two i727's as of Jan 2014. Both are running 4.1.2
Name: Consumer Cellular
APN: att.mvno
Proxy: "66 . 209 . 11 . 32" (without spaces)
Port: 80
User name: Not set
Pasword: Not set
Server: Not set
MMSC: http :// mmsc . cingular . com (without spaces)
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication type: PAP
APN type: default,supl,mms,agps,fota
APN protocal: IPv4
Enable/disable APN: APN enabled (check)
Bearer: Unspecified

very helpful for my Skyrocket
Thanks for posting this. I had data working on my AT&T skyrocket, now used with Consumer Cellular, and then it stopped for no apparent reason. I had all the same settings as above, but on my phone the Authentication Type was unspecified or none. I changed it to PAP and now data is back. I don't know if I had never set this before, or if something changed it, but I'm glad it seems to be working again.

always when you format your phone, check the APN settings.
If it isn't configured you won't be able to surf.
happy to hear you fixed the issue.

good while it lasted -30 min

While changing that setting did bring the data connection back to life, it seems to have disappeared again. I'm not sure why. When I turn airplane mode on and then off, data doesn't reconnect. When I reboot the phone it seems to connect after maybe 15 minutes of trying. Could it be a bad sim card? Or maybe should I do a complete reset of the phone? I don't see anyone else reporting these sorts of symptoms, so maybe it is specific to my phone.

Another option for Consumer Cellular APN settings
I just got off the phone (third time in a week) with a tech support person at CC. They said they think they knew the problem. Because the AT&T SGH-I727 skyrocket is 4G LTE capable, a new APN should be set up:
Name: ccilte
APN: ccdata
Proxy: Not set
Port: Not set
Username: Not set
Password: Not set
Server: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMS proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication type: PAP
APN type: default,mms,supl
APN protocol: IPv4
APN roaming protocol: IPv4
I asked a couple of times if they really should be backslashes for Server and MMSC, rather than forward slashes. They insisted they should be backslashes, which is what I put in, and it worked, and then I changed them to forward slashes (which seems more appropriate) and that works too. That was weird, since I'd expect one to fail. So now I seem to get a data connection (it has been almost a day and it hasn't dropped data service). I even went in and out of airplane mode, turned wifi on and off, and data came right back, which never happened before. Hopefully this may help someone else who made the bumpy transition to Consumer Cellular.

[Q] SGH-I727R no LTE, and no tethering

I'm in Manitoba, which finally got LTE this past Monday after almost 2 years of waiting. My phone is on a corporate account. I'm running CM10.1 with the UCMC1 radio. I received an LTE SIM with the phone, along with a regular SIM. I had been using the regular SIM until Monday when our phone guy got my LTE SIM activated. I'm still only getting 3G and H+. I've set my APN to the following:
APN - ltemobile.apn
Proxy - <not set>
Port - <not set>
Username- <Not set>
Password - <not set>
Server < not set>
MMSC - h t t p ://mms.gprs.rogers.com
MMS - proxy 10.128.1.69
MMS - Port 80
MCC - 302
MNC - 720
Aythentication type - < not set>
APN type - *
I've tried *#*#4636#*#* and set the network type to every option. If I set it to LTE only, I get no signal at all. Do I have a defective SIM?
For tethering, I've tried the stock tethering and my PC will connect, but no Internet. I've tried "WiFi Tether" app with the same settings that worked on ICS and my PC cannot see my phone. I've tried every combination of settings to no avail. Using ltedata.apn. This was happening before I changed to an LTE SIM.

It constantly switches back and forth between 3G, H & H+
Speed tests are between 400kbps and 5000kbps down. As they always have been.

Which CM10.1 date are you on? Use a newer one if possible i.e. CM10.1RC5. Do a clean install. Install the radio first then ROM.

Use 4636 switch to LTE all bands then back to auto. As for tethering look for the WiFi tethering fix in the general section.

I've done this. On "LTE only" I get no signal at all. No settings give me LTE. I've also tried all of the WiFi tethering fixes to no avail. I think that might be a carrier problem. My PC will connect, get Internet for about 20 seconds, then no Internet. I have a corporate 1GB plan and used to tether no problem under previous Android versions. I've asked our IT person to contact Rogers and request they enable tethering.
