[Q] Infuse working 3G on other sim cards

i am currently traveling around and i have bought the sim unlock code for the Infuse and it works great. i can use the sim cards from Taiwan and South Africa without a problem.
But the 3G capability on the sim cards are not working on the Infuse. i tried with my other phone i bought unlocked GS2 (international version) and the 3G was working great
do i need to root in order for the Infuse to be able to connect to 3G with other country's sim card? or i just need to do some setting on the phone?
please help, it's annoying carrying this big phone and unable to use it properly
thanks

You will probably need to put in the correct APN settings for your carrier. Many of the other ROMs will update the APN automatically, but the stock
ROM does not.

As PVD04 said thats an APN problem, go into google and search for the company you like for example i use 3g here in mexico and i typed " Telcel APN configuration" (Telcel is my carrier)
Do the same for your carrier on the country you currently are, then go into--->Settings--->Wireless and network--->Mobile Networks--->APN (access Point Names) and configure a new one typing the data you found about your overboard carrier.
That will fix it.
Also... i know its already done but... you dont need to buy the unlock code" many samsung phones can be unlocked for free Infuse can, searchf or the "how to unlock" thread next time =)

[Q] Sim Cards In Japan

I hope this is the correct thread for this. I have a galaxy s3 rooted,running AOSP hurray. My question is do you guys know if the Verizon S3 is data capable in Japan? There is a service that offers a DATA sim card for 1GB. In theory I can just grab a micro sim and slip it in and data will work. Just wondering if this is correct. I only need data on my phone because I use LINE to talk to everyone I know, so voice and calls aren't important. Thanks for the help!!!
Here is the website that has the sims.

It should in theory! but i dont know if the same applies in ASOP roms, but if you let me know what rom you are running, i will install in on my phone and see if it runs with GSM services for DATA

Hey that would be great! Im running carbon 1.7 4.2.2, and the included kernel. I think it can be done you just have to use APN manager to switch some things around haha

With that Rom, you can use GSM, so you shouldnt have any problems

Dual sim adapter for the Samsung Galaxy S5

So along with my recent phone upgrade i needed to get a new dual sim adapter. Went with another from www.magic-sim.com and its working great for me. Personally always had a great experience with these little devices and can recommend them! :good:

Had one for the S4 that stopped working after a while, needing a reboot every time you wanted to pick up signal.

I agree with EnricoIT i had the same problems...

Always had great experiences with these devices personally too, in the past when i've needed any technical help their customer service has always been great.

Does anyone no if it's possible to use data from one sim and phone from the other, at the same time. My work Sim doesn't have data, so I'm constantly tethered to another phone with my sim in it. (WiFi doesn't work well in my workplace)

Surely not. Not until there is a true dualsim version of S5

anyone care to discuss use of the s5 with dual sim adapter? is it simple as pop it in and go, or do you have to manually switch from one sim card to the other? I have a crappy work phone and an s5 and would like to just put the work sim into a dual adapter and carry just the s5.

There is a duos version of S5 (SM-G900FD) like this one that I'm using. They are sold in the middle east, mine is a UAE version but I live in Singapore. Everything is mostly the same except the extra sim slot and its unlock.

[Q] International usage on CM and tablet sim card

Hi all, I have a couple of questions that hopefully someone would be able to answer for me.
I have a Galaxy S5 on Sprint running CyanogenMod 12.1 and I will be travelling to Canada next month. I want to get a Canadian Sim Card on a prepaid plan while there so I can use my phone for directions and other things. Well, here are my questions:
1. If I have sprint unlock my phone for international use, is that enough for it to work on CyanogenMod with a Canadian sim card or will I need to flash back to touchwiz (stock) rom?
2. Will phones work with a data only (tablet) sim cards? I really don't need the voice and text as long as I got data and data only sims and plans are much cheaper so I'd like to go that route if I could.
Thanks!

Dual Sim

Has anyone used this feature? It was one of the reasons I got the phone - I'm planning on moving my landline number to the phone. AT&T said they don't support dual sims (if it works it works, if it doesn't - sorry!). So I thought I'd ask to see if anyone is using dual sims (preferably with AT&T) and how the experience is going .. thanks!

I have two sims in it since day one - works great!
I made this little video of how Dual Sim cards works on this phone:
You can switch data source without taking sims out (in settings)
2 AT&T sims will work just fine - it does not matter who the carrier iss as long as phone can read the sim cards. I use two t-mobile sims. People here have both t-mo and AT&T sims in.

Can't help you when it comes to AT&T as I'm in Australia these days, but we've had mixed results. My wife has a Blu Pure XL and I use a OnePlus 2. Both of us have SIMs on Virgin (Optus reseller) and Telstra - mine are prepaid, hers are postpaid.
In her case, having both SIMs activated leaves her primary Virgin SIM nearly useless. She can surf the web but no other apps work over broadband (including Email, Hangouts, Location services). If she takes it to a Virgin store and finds a sympathetic employee, he/she can go and "reset the back end" of her account and everything starts working again - for about a day or so. Other employees simply check the settings and proclaim it's a software problem with her OS.
In my case, everything works normally - except when I'm at home. When at home I need to disable the Telstra SIM (data-only) on my OP2 in order for the Virgin SIM to work in any capacity. I've checked and my local tower supports 2G, FWIW.
Of course, Australia and the U.S. are not known for dual-SIM phones - they're more popular in countries where you can't rely on having coverage from any one company as you move about. It's arguable that dual SIM phones potentially cut into the market of any individual mobile provider, so I doubt you'll find anyone willing to support them.
I doubt any provider will actively block the feature, but if some quirk of their setup causes you a problem, you're probably on your own.
For what it's worth, I've seen both the OnePlus 2 and the Blu Pure XL use dual SIMs perfectly well. Just - not all the time!
