Hi guys,
So I know it is super specific but I was wondering if anyone has used their Verizon GSIII in Portugal. I know theoretically it should work but I was looking through this thread and noticed that user Beemer533 wasn't able to get SMS and data to work even though he has used the same method in many other countries. Do you think the new update that Verizon launched a while ago should have fixed it? I know Beemer533's problem was before that update.
Thanks so much!
It should work fine, use a custom touchwiz rom though, if you are gonna be stock then you dont be able to get Data working

I'm using CleanROM V6. That should work, yeah?
Also, I just wanna be absolutely sure, should this work by just putting in the sim card or should I still use the method described in the OP of that thread I linked?
Thanks again!
Buy tomorrow this exact model
Tomorrow i go buy a cousin this exact model...
I read all the posts and my question is simples. This Verizon model works in Portugal with GSM to make calls and sem text messages, and with 3G?
Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to say but I will be arriving in Lisboa on Monday, I will let you know if I get it working!
I am here in Lisbon now and voice, sms, and data are working perfectly. This is with the latest CleanROM R6 based on Jelly Bean. I believe you need a custom ROM like this to get data to work properly.

Did you automatically get the APN? or have to install a apn manager app?
Before I arrived I did install an APN manager app and I put into it all the possible APN's that Vodafone might use. But when I put in the SIM card it picked it up right away without me having to go into the app or anything. So I think the APN manager is not needed, but you may want to set it up before hand just to be safe.
Cheers!

Hello friends.
I just got rid of my LG o2x (finally) and today got my skyrocket i727 from AT&T and I have a few problems.
I use it in Chile, with my carrier "CLARO"
tethering doesn't work, when I activate it I get a message "mobile data is not available or invalid SIM"
somebody knows a definitive solution to this?, I don't want to freeze the tethering manager process everytime I need to use tethering.
is there a "skyrocket samsung official ROM"? or I have to use the AT&T rom?
in the second case, wich custom rom is the most stable or less modified? (I need a full stable phone, I work with it)
PS: please don't kill me , I already searchin the forum and I can't find an answer.

I have been using AOCP Collective ROM and it works fine. I use my tethering in regular basis and never had problem and it is 4.1.2 Sometimes you need to try all the ROMs that your phone will work the best! For me, happens to be Collective ROM.. Good Luck
Hi,
I've bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 with the 3G version, but the Israeli official importer decided to take out the phone capabilities in order to avoid paying taxes for a Mobile Phone device (They claim it's now only a Tablet).
The device is 100% 3G capable, including all the hardware needed to make phone calls and send/receive SMS. They claim to have taken out only some software files... Now I can use the SIM only to use wireless networking. I've tried to install the Dialer One application, but got an error message stating that my device is not supported.
Can anyone please help me with restoring the device to its original phone mode?
Thank you!
Dan.
Well you could try a custom rom? It may work

I rather not use a custom rom... I think it's actually much simple - Some files are missing, and if I knew which and where to put those, problem solved.
I know all Israeli P5100 suffer from this strange issue, so I guess there must be a quick solution.
Thanks.

I also had the same problem. I rooted my tab and got another stock rom( not israeli). I think all the other stock roms have dialer.
But remember to do a backup if you want to change rom. I did not do backup( forget) and now i do not have hebrew on my tablet.
If you want my advise do not change rom.... you will never use the phone on tablet ...trust me on that.
hi there i want to use my p5100 as aphone insted of the "note" so please

I *think* that official cm10.1 has support for using the p5100 as a phone, and I know it has hebrew. I suggest you try it.

Hello .....
As in the title .... I'm from Egypt .... I bought a unlocked Verizon gs3 except for SMS sending " I can receive only SMS " , service codes ..... But every thing else is working .....
Could I flash an at&t based room to obtain gsm options only not mixed with CDMA !!
I know it has different radio signales ... But 3g or edge are useless to me ... I want to fix the SMS , code service more than them ...
1- Could I do so or it will brake my gs3 !!
2- I don't know the method of unlocking !! Is there any way to complete the unlocking !?
Most ROMs have a check in the updater script that checks if the ROM you are flashing matches your version of the S3. Besides I'm pretty sure you would brick. I know for a fact you would brick if you flashed an AT&T S3 kernel on your VZW S3.

When I had at&t, and was using a verizon s3 I flashed a At&t Version oc Cm10 and it worked. It only got edge speeds. But it worked. I have not tried any other rom. This was about 8mos ago.
Data/mms/sms all worked. I'm now on verizon so no longer need to do that..
You can flash it and it will work but it's not a great idea. There is a lot of code that is specific to carriers in framework. Jar and framework2.jar. If you do flak this you will be pinging off of the wrong towers and I'm sure the caskets will not be too happy with that. This could be one reason why they are making it more difficult to unlock bootloader now a days. That's other than the fact that they are greedy money hungry control freaks.
Hi Everyone,
I'm using a Samsung Galaxsy S3 LTE i9305 and it has been working flawlessly in Australia on a stock and custom ROM.
I'm currently travelling in the US and I have purchased a T-Mobile prepaid SIM. After inserting the new SIM I have been able to get a edge network connection and making phone calls works fine. However, ive only been able to get a Edge data connection, no 2G, 3G or 4G. This occurs in all locations, I have been in 4 major cities and it is the same.
I called T-Mobile and we checked all the settings. They were unable to find anything wrong and escalated my issue to the 3rd level team. I'm waiting to hear from them. In the mean time I have tried the following wihout succes. The phone is running cyogenmod 10.2 Nightly, I upgraded this to the latest 11.x Nightly and the result was no network connection at all. Furthermore after the upgrade I was not able to enter any APN settings, it was as if no SIM was insirted. Next I tried downgrading to Cyogenmod 10.1 Stable release and the result was the same. Finally I tried installing Paranoid Android 3.99 RC1 and again same result, no network at all.
Im running out of ideas. My next move is to try a stock rom but I hope I can avoid it because it is a large download and I have no access to a computer. What do you guys think could be causing it?

As far as I know, the SM-G900P is the US variant. That might be why youre having issues with service. There is an international variant of the the S5 I believe. You could try an international ROM. I've never used one and don't plan on it, so do your homework. Thats a hard one. Maybe someone else will chime in. This should probably be posted in the "General Discussion Forum" though, not to mention if it was youd probably get more help. Just saying. I don't think this is the forum for you.

I have a G900P in India we anyways dont have 4g but 3g seems to be choppy anyways.
I have installed a International rom on the G900P via a rom compatibility patch by jrkruse which is available in sprint forum here it self. ENjoy

Thanks for chimming in. As I said, I've never used an international ROM, so I really couldn't tell you where to find one. However, I know @jrkruse has a bunch of stuff concerning those types of ROMs. I'm pretty sure I've seen posts by him concerning international ROMs. I may be wrong. I would imagine though, that if you are using a US variant of the S5, regardless of what ROM your using, you will still have issues with connections being slow simply because youre not located in the US, where the phone is meant to be used. I could be WAY off, but thats just my guess. Check out @jrkruse, I'm sure youll find something to play around with.
