This worked for me, at least as far as data goes - in the same place where you choose network operators, choose the option for "access point names" then, when there, if there is no option for Telus, try pressing the menu button and clicking the option for "new APN" then in the fields enter the following:
- Name : TELUS
- APN: sp.telus.com
- Proxy: 74.49.0.18
- Port: 80
And then press the menu button again, hit save, and click the APN out of the list to connect.
That helped when I couldn't connect to Koodo, and they're the same network.
Hope this helps!

Hi, Did you manage to find a solution. I have a Nexus S 9020T and been using it fine under Fido/Rogers (WIthout 3G). Now that I moved swapped SIM to TELUS. it won't detect the TELUS network or connect to any. Any help would be appreciated.

Seeing how it says no radio you probably have to flash a radio for the i9020a, most likely UCKF1.

Provider: TELUS
version: 4.0.3
Baseband: I9020XXKI1
Build: IML74K
Phone was working perfectly fine before the switch to Telus. Even after reinserting the Fido SIM, phone will not connect to network.
Please assist.

My dads with telus... put his sim in my phone and no service but my rogers sum is still working fine... weird :S

[Q] Galaxy SII i727R carrier problem

Hello,
I bought the phone from Kijiji and it is stated as unlocked. When I put in my Virgin Mobile sim card it shows I have full bars and connected to the Virgin network and di not ask for an unlock code so should be unlocked? Now with the full service bars I have no data connection indicator and everything is on and the APN for Bell/Virgin is inputted in it already. But I cannot send or receive anything or use any data. Says network error.
Any help?
Thanks,
Jay

Are you sure Virgin is a GSM carrier? I'm pretty sure they are CDMA only..

Virgin mobile no longer supports CDMA. They are 3G and 4g lte only now.
I have tried the virgin radios and different Rogers and AT&T. Even telus and tmobile radios but none worked.
When I put the SIM in it says its on virgin and connected but no 3G or lte logo and can't send or recieve texts or use anything with data.

I'm not convinced, are you sure they're off CDMA now? You need GSM fot texts and on this phone in general. 3G and LTE is not the same.

This is virgin mobile canada. They only have 3G and LTE service here. I have had the S3, iPhone, and many other GSM phones no problems. Recently the Note 1 LTE. Not sure what is going on. It doesnt say to input an unlock code when I put in the SIM so it must be unlocked?

If if shows the carrier name and doesn't ask for a code then it's unlocked. Did you try Bell radios? Virgin Canada uses the Bell network and does indeed prefer lte and hspa to cdma as you said.

Try the ones here. It seems like it's something else though. Try wiping data & cache & dalvik cache in recovery or doing a factory reset in settings. Try flashing a stock JB rom in Odin or any other rom for that matter. Try flashing a rom in recovery. Just be aware that JB roms need JB modems. JB modems are backwards compatible with ICS and GB roms. The two official JB modems are RUXUMA7 and UCMC1. There are JB modems from other devices that work on our phone as well, but you'll have to find them yourself as I don't remember.

Ok I tried everything you mentioned in the post. Still no luck. Tried the ROM you are using on your i727 that you have listed in your siggy. I really like it but still just comes up with "BELL" and no data and cant text or do anything.

That's a problem. I really don't know how to help you. One thing you can do is compare Virgin Canada's hspa & lte frequencies with Skyorckets default ones and see if they match.
These are the default frequencies on the Skyrocket.
3G Network - HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100
4G Network - LTE 700 MHz Class 17 / 1700 / 2100

Jay, I had to unlock my phone myself with I bought it. I use Fido in Canada. After upgrading to include data for the first time, I had a similar problem. Everything looks fine but I had no Internet. I advice you to put your sim card in a Virgin phone already running with no problem and see whether the issue was is with your plan. Sometimes the carrier screws it up as well.

Help needed for CDMA data service (downgrading from 4.4.2 to lower version)

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 SCH-I535 CDMA Verizon & GSM phone. Originally it was on android 4.1.2 and working fine for both CDMA and GSM (one at a time). CDMA EVDO Rev A data service was working fine.
I am using this phone in Nepal (not in USA). It was carrier unlocked for both CDMA & GSM when I purchased from Amazon. (so, I guess, Originally it may had some customized firmware/ROM for International use, I don’t have much idea).
I was asked for firmware upgrade every time when I run Samsung Kies. One day I clicked to upgrade the firmware. The upgrade was over successfully. But the new android version I found on my phone was 4.4.2.
In this version /new upgrade, I was unable to use CDMA data (EVDO-rev A). So I wanted to reverse back to old version. I search the process in Google and tried to load firmware with the help of Odin3 using this file:- “I535VRBMF1_I535VZWBMF1_VZW.zip”, but it was not successful. Result: Fail(Auth)
Then I loaded firmware for 4.4.2 using Odin3.09 (AP: “I535VRUDNE1_I535VZWDNE1_I535VRUDNE1_HOME.tar.md5”) and now the phone is working.
• If I use GSM SIM I can make call and use HSPA data service as well by adding new APN.
• If I use CDMA RUIM I can make call, BUT DATA SEVRICE using CDMA EVDO Rev A is NOT WORKING!! (I can not save APN in this case).
Now my issue is how to make CDMA EVDO data service working in my phone, because my basic requirement is to use this phone for CDMA service (voice + data).
I can edit the APN but when I click “Save”, nothing was saved. So I can not select APN for my carrier. I tried using APN Manager Pro too, here I can enter & enable the APN, but did not work. The phone is not able to dial the data access code #777 (verified from CDMA service provider side trace).
Can someone help me what I should do to make my phone working for CDMA data. My phone is rooted.
I guess it may work for CDMA data if I downgrade it to 4.3 or 4.1.2,
Can I do that. If so what are the procedures / steps. Any help in this regard would be highly appreciable.

My data worked this way

I think your problem is the region is not set Nepal...I installed dark jb rom in my phone and data was gone since then. Then I manually downloaded stock firmware and flashed through odin but still data wasnt working,nd while in recovery mode i saw region INS ie India. then something came in my mind and.. .I changed it to NPL and now i can use data in only sim 1 only not in both sims. So i also may need some help.
For you *#272*IMEI# . Use your phones IMEI number there (*#06#) . Select NPL region.
NOTE: It will hard format your phone installing required carrier apps, aps, bla bla and hope work on your phone

I found that the hidden menu (& hence secret code dialing) was disabled in my phone. Following guides from Google search I enabled it. Now codes likes "*#06#",*#1111#", "*#0228#" etc are working, but "*#272*IMEI#" is not working. Any idea, why it is not working?

Well, it looks to me as though you've locked your bootloader and are now stuck on 4.4.2. For some reason, Verizon forces Samsung to lock their bootloaders, which means we (the consumers) cannot install "custom" firmware on our devices (or downgrade).

Once you're on 4.4.2 NE1 your stuck with it. No downgrade possible at least not without a Jtag service

S6 Edge At&t unlocked No update and LTE signal

Sir I purchased a new unlocked S6 Edge ( 925A) at&t device from abroad to use in india.
The guy told it's fully unlocked and it support any sim card. Buy when I checked with Indian Sims I am getting only 2g signals .. I am not getting 3G and 4g signals..
When I checked for network selection mode settings it's missing in the settings.
No software OTA update is available. . I think it's also disabled.. when I checked the device status it is in "custom"..
So if I flash a stock ROM with Odin will it lock again ?
Do I need to unlock it again.. ??

First check the model from bootloader, if its actually a att variant then you can flash a stock rom too make it work as normal, but if its some other variant then get back to this thread again.

Its surely an at&t Variant of Samsung Galaxy S6 EDGE.. its model number is 925A.. which is only available for ATT..
Its baseband version is G925AUCU1AOCE
I purchased this phone as fully unlocked from UAE but in india when i start to use it i came to know that its not taking 3G and 4G signals .. but 2g Signal and Data services are working fine..
I got the phone in rooted condition without any Boot animation of At&t. Since its rooted i am not getting any official updates.
I am also facing many software bugs.. from different apps..
So really want to flash the phone with a new stock rom for using it..
I have some doubts about it please clear it..
1) if i flash it with an official att stock rom will it lock again for att network ?
2) can i remove the att boot animation after flashing with stock rom ?

Providers in India use bands 3, 40, and 41 for LTE. The AT&T S6 Edge is only compatible with band 3.
I doubt you'd be able to flash a different ROM, and even if you could, you still wouldn't have compatibility with bands 40 or 41.

Firstly Thanks for your reply.. i know that S6 Edge at&t only support Band 3 LTE cuz it's a FDD LTE supported device.. in my country here providers are using both TDD & FDD LTE bands for LTE..
In my region "Kerala" at presently all the providers are using Band 3 which is compatible will my phone. But i am not receiving any LTE and 3G signals..
My friends have different unlocked phones from T-Mobile they are not facing any problem..
I am still doubt the flashing ROM.. i am going to flash the stock rom for at&t.. it's the only official rom available for my device.

It could be an APN issue. Make sure the settings are the same as your friends are using. Beyond that, I have no idea.

Nothing Wrong with the APN.. cuz i am using 2G data without any problems.
We have same APN for all 2G ,3G & 4G..
I think its the problem with my software..
I can't switch between LTE/WCDMA/2G because that network mode selection option is disabled or not available..
I am compelled to flash a new Rom..
I don't have any other options.
I own a good phone but i can't use it . Really sad about it..

for sure people here can help you more on this
