Unlocked my captivate...

Hey guys I just unlocked my phone using that galaxy s unlock app that was just created (thanks dev). I'm with rogers and tried a Bell SIM. Phone calls and sms worked fine and the service provider changed to Bell. I encountered a problem when trying to access the internet via 3G and it didn't work.. The 3G symbol was in my notification bar, and all other phone functions worked, anyone know a potential problem? Thanks

You need to input bell's apn settings before you can use its internet, do a search on google for them.

It means that you need to root ur phone to be able to use 3g/gprs.....after rooted it will automaticlly connect to 3g/gprs like normal......

[SOLVED] 3g not working in India

Well, i haven't used 3g till now, and today activated it, only to find that it doesnt work.
DDKP3
BCK Kernel Beta 13
Deodexed
No other mods.
Network mode is automatic
When i select WCDMA only. The phone is not able to connect to the network.
And on automatic, the phone stays on EDGE only
Anyone insights on it?
Had read Argentine people having 3g problems long ago. Anyone from there can help?
Also had read somewhere that it might be a CSC problem. I checked using *#1234# to see if CSC is unknown, but its proper.
More info from further posts and replies -
Service provider is Vodafone India.
Confirmed that its a phone problem, by using the SIM in another phone [SE Xperia Arc], and it worked on it.
SOLUTION -
Well, I had removed the sim to try it on another phone, and well on putting it back in the phone, it worked!
I actually feel like a noob after this!
Anyway, thanks everyone for trying to help!

I'm using 3g.... its working great!!! What service do you use? Also are u sure you have subscribed to 3G services... sometimes it takes a while to get activated.

Yea, obviously it isn't a general problem faced by all.
I guess, someone who's faced such a problem only might be able to help.
Had read alot of people having such issues, but now searching isn't giving quite the required results.

If you can, try your SIM card into another smartphone which is confirmed working with 3G, just to be sure the problem comes from your phone.

Maybe your area doesn't have 3g network.

Hey guys, so I updated my phone to 2.3.6 I9003DDKP4 and now 3G won't work on my phone and there's 3G coverage, I tried ggclanlord's solution but it didn't work, any ideas?

[Q] WiFi hotspot off and on constantly when mobile data on.

Hi there!
The SW version of my PhotonQ is 77.8.10 and I'm using WCDMA(UMTS)network,
When I tried the hotspot function yesterday, I find that as long as the Data usage/Mobile data switch is on,the hotspot will constantly turn off and on,and everything's fine when the switch is off (connect with my ipod,retrive IP address and so on)
Dose any one has any idea about this problem?

What ROM?
Generally, if you post your question in the ROM thread... people don't have to wonder

My Photon Q is running the official rom which named 77.8.10 and the kernel version is 4.0.4

Ah, you mean Android version is 4.0.4 mate.
Kernel version is probably 3.0.31 or smth, but that's neither here nor there.
Regardless, I don't think the built-in hotspot works (on stock).
It also sounds like you are using one of the SIM hacked devices. Why not install CM10/.1? Wifi hotspot should work fine there (it does for me on my less-hacked CDMA device....)

It's not mine, and if you are using a SIM modded device use Skrilax's!!

You know, I'm willing to bet that this is related to the issue in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1885600. Just on a whim, I tried turning off mobile data before turning on my wifi, and sure enough, my wifi connectivity problem went away.
That being said, and the fact that I have two q's, one which works perfectly, and one which exhibits this odd behavior, I think I'm heading towards a hardware problem, and a warranty exchange. But, if your new rom seems to fix the problem, then please share that here. It would indicate that there may be a software solution to the problem.
