I have this problem since the first day of Samsung Galaxy Pocket purchasing. Not quite sure that it is a hardware, software or network problem. Please suggest if you have any idea.
(Sorry I just notice I put wrong model name in Title, the phone in question is Samsung Galaxy Pocket (S5300) not Galaxy Plus).
My SGP data (HSPA) will stop (no movement of data icon in status bar, no network connection response from all network relate application) after I enable packet data and set network mode to GSM/WCDMA (this will make SGP to clamp on 3G most of the time) and leave it for 8-10 hours. My mobile network operator operate both GSM and WCDMA/HSPA with same network code and frequency band.
I tried to upgrade firmware (Stock), claim a new phone, flash custom ROM (Hyperion 1x and 2x) but still got the same problem.
Anyone having same problem or have any suggestion?

Hi everyone,
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 (16gb) in Singapore and was using it fine on Singtel's network (signed a contract with them). Now I have moved back to Canada and brought my phone with me assuming that all would be ok to use it with the network here. However I'm having big problems with this one network I just signed up with (Virgin Mobile).
85% of the time I cannot connect to it: voice calls and SMSing won't work nor will the data work on it, the only thing it says is "Emergency calls only". Then at other times everything will seem to connect and work fine - I can make calls and use data.
Virgin Mobile will not support me much because they're thinking it's the phone's problem, if I use the phone they gave me (a lower-end model) it works fine.
Here are some details of my phone:
Firmware version
2 2
Baseband version
I9000DXJPA
Kernel version
2 6 32 9
root (at) SE-S604 #1
Build number
FROYO DXJPA
If I check out the status, it usually says this:
Network
Unknown (switches to VIRGIN when it does work)
Mobile network type
UMTS (switches between that and HSDPA and GPRS)
Service state
Out of service
Mobile network state
Disconnected (switches to connected when working, and even when it's not working sometimes)
I have Network mode set to auto mode (GSM/WCDMA). I've tried to switch it to GSM only but that didn't seem to change anything.
I'm wondering if there's some kind of configuration settings I still need to do with the phone? I'm also wondering if it is the network I'm with right now? Virgin Mobile isn't one of the bigger telcom companies here and I'm thinking that if I switch to one of the bigger telcoms, will it work better?
Something else to add - before I signed up with Virgin I was using my phone with a pre-paid service (called Chatr) for voice only and it was working fine.
I'm sure this phone can support the GSM frequencies here.. can't it?
I also still have the Singtel customizations on the phone. Will it help if I remove it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks a lot!
Ryan

i tried to connect with the network operator telling me that there is no problem with connection the problem is in the phone
any one can help me to fix this problem
Sending it back to Samsung or your carrier is the best solution if you do not know what to do.
Hello,
I know there is a thread for this in Galaxy Note section, but i feel i need to share this for OPO community.
I'm using OPO v33 rom. I live in Mumbai and have a 3G vodafone postpaid corporate connection.
Recently i have been to my native mysore on few occasions, and everytime i have seen the 3G data getting disabled even when the data connection settings are enable on roaming.
I never faced this issue on my nokia lumia 920 which perfectly latched onto roaming and 3G data was available.
On roaming, with OPO, the data gets disabled and i dont get a specific "E" or "H" sign with + noticafion.
I only have the signal bars with small R icon on top of the bar.
Please let me know if there is a workaround for this.
I have also seen this issue on v25 rom aswell.
Note: i have tried setting connectivity to automatic in mobile networks.. and also tried to select the specific Vodafone network. both didnt solve this issue.
Another interesting thing while on roaming: my nokia 920 recognised 2 networks for vodafone.. one with 2G, 3G and another with only 2G. and i could select the first one .. and 3G was getting enabled without any issues.
i think that E and H as well as H+ is only something you can geti n your own country. When roaming, it's always the default for that service prodiver in the country that you will get.
I need to solve an issue pertaining to my Galaxy s6 duos. The problem is that sometimes my phone's sim 2 wont work, although it is registered on the network but it won't make a call or send a message neither would it receive a call or message. After i put the phone in airplane mode and switch it back online,then the sim2 starts working. Please help me in solving this issue. What could be causing this problem?
Hmmm set sim 2 only to 2G network and check if it losse connection... (I suspect when phone leaves a 4g area and it has to connect to 3g sometimes stuck at searching ...)
I have an issue that whenever i use mobile data on sim 2 it connects to 2g. I need all the time to go and change from 3g/2g to only 3g then back again to get 3g working. Also noticed that if 3g is not in range it switches to 2g but when its in range it does not automatically take 3g.
Hello everyone, my name is Ryan.
Purchased a Samsung Tab S2 with the intention of using it as a replacement for my phone. The tablet currently has a data share plan on it with my Note 4 for Bell Mobility in Canada.
My plan was to switch the two SIM cards out into one another so my phone has just the data, and my tablet has the data, calling, and SMS. I was under the impression from the sails person that I could replace EVERY function of my phone with the tablet. Unfortunately calling seems to be... less than an option. I didn't realize that they would have disabled the function entirely from the device. Even under "Mobile networks" and "Network mode" I only have the option of using either: LTE/WCDMA (auto connect) or WCDMA. Where my phone (despite now having the tablets SIM card with only data sharing (does that matter?)) has the options: GSM only, WCDMA only, WCDMA/GSM (auto connect), and LTE/WCDMA/GSM (auto connect).
My question is, due to lack of info on Bell website about specifications for the device, does the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 (Model# SM-T817W, Android version: 6.0.1) support GSM calling? It seems to not support it directly through software, or avoids it some how. So, does it have the capability of making/receiving calls? I am NOT looking for a VoIP program, I simply want to use the calling that I pay for on my tablet instead of on my phone.
If it DOES have the capability to do so, but is lacking the software/firmware to do so, how would one go about installiung that? I would prefer if I could, not to install an entire OS, as I saw that the Tab 10.1 I think it was had something that just unlocked calling on it, see link for info.

Thanks

upon searching i couldn't find the exact version of your device model. are you sure that it supported voice calling and the salesman confirmed this?
Would it be possible to call samsung customer care to confirm the model you have does support voice/gsm
