Hi, I live outside the US. I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 which I was able to get data working after rooting (EDGE). However, I'm not able to get my 3G/4G. When I checked my Network mode options, I don't see an option for GSM/WCDMA. My friend who has a galaxy S3 has this option as the chosen method so I believe this is the problem. How can I get this option inserted into the phone. Is there any build prod or system file? I have already tried 'Phone Info which also didn't have the 'GSM/WCDMA' OPTION. I also tried accessing Test Mode: CDMA > COMMON > NEXT PAGE > NEXT PAGE > PREF MODE SET to select GSM/WCDMA ONLY.
Pleaseeeee help as I now signed up for a 4G plan thinking it would work with my S3.
Marc.

I received a Samsung Galaxy S (Captivate) as a gift.
The phone was on AT&T carrier but was unlocked to be used on T-Mobile.
The first problem is that I can't get the 3G to work, I can only see the signal "E" for edge. Does anyone has any solution for that?
I tried to look to seek some help on some forums and the recommended to "Reset Network Setting" to default by going to:
Settings-> Wireless & Networks-> Mobile Networks-> Access Point Names and then Reset to Default.
This did not solve the problem, but it created another issue. Now I cannot connect to Wirless "wifi" connections.
Help Please.
Moving to Q&A
Hi,
I am using Samsung Captivate(unlocked) in India on Airtel's network.
Under 'Network Operators' menu, phone displays a read-only setting called 'Default Setup'. there is no way I can scan network manually.
this is problem for me while I am roaming. while roaming, I want the setting to be 'manual' so that I can hop onto my fav network.
usually(in any other phone), there would be a setting to set the network to manual or automatic mode.
other problem is that, there is no place to set the network mode(i.e 2G/3G).
are there any tweaks I can do to enable these settings on Captivate.
I am on JH7 update with out any kind of root.
Thanks
You would have to type in the apn fields manually then. Unless theres a secret menu somewhere which I haven't found yet. Oh and for the 2g 3g theres multiple threads on the q and a section about that
Yay no more fc
This is for me who came back from Dubai and found my stupid captivate would not connect back to AT&T network.
I could not chnage the network as "default setup" was greyed out and phone gave continued warning could not connect to etisalat ( dubai provider).
I found out through a lot of hard searching that I needed to use samservmode then
DEBUG SCREEN > PHONE CONTROL > NETWORK CONTROL -> PLMN AUTO/MANUAL set to AUTO
That fixed it and got me back on AT&T

Thanks for this thread.
i just returned from Nigeria and much to my surprise in Atlanta I couldn't get the
AT&T network back on.
doesn't work
I tried the app and it's not working. But for some reason AT&T is back on the air.
So I'm OK for now but can't get the Default Mode to turn to automatic.
Anything else i need to do to phone so SamServMode will work. Or am I not saving the changes properly?
Hello there,
I am trying to get my Verizon Galaxy S3 to work in Germany. I have rooted my phone and flashed JellyBeans vs. 0.1.8.
I followed the steps in this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1809314
When I am in the Mobile networks settings, I have changed the access points name to Vodafone (the carrier I am trying to use ) I have already changed the Network mode with the Phone Info app. After I try to change the access points name, it asks me to select a network operator. My phone then begins searching and it lists Vodafone DE as one of the options to select. When I select that option, my phone tries to register this option, but eventually it says "Unable to Connect, Try again later"
Can anyone offer any advice as to how to get my phone working with Vodafone? I've read and reread the guide I listed above, as well as searched for other threads that talk about issues similar to what I am experiencing, but I haven't had any luck. I would appreciate it so much if anyone has any suggestions!
Thanks!:fingers-crossed:
How can I access the Note 5 advanced wi-fi settings? I have the Verizon Note 5, but I'm located permanently outside of US. My old Samsung Galaxy S4 Int. sees like 2-3 times as many Wi-Fi networks around and it has a switch in WiFi settings of setting the WiFi region. Where can I access such setting on the Verizon Note 5?
I've tried *#0011# but it shows code no accessible.
I'm on N920VVRS3BQA1.

Hi,
I DLed the MTK Eng App. I go to the LTE Switcher page and select LTE or LTE/WCDMA (or any setting actually). After I exit the page and come back it reverts to WCDMA Prefered.
I am definitely in an LTE covered area (I know because my wife's J5 is connected to LTE).
Any ideas? TIA!
you need to setting SIM 1 as mobile data defaults. it will work with no get back to lte wcdma preferred.
