Hello, my wife has a Samsung S4 mini GT-19195 from France.
I purchased a wireless prepaid micro sim card 3GB plan data communications only, from Yodobashi Camera Store in Osaka, Japan
I believe to have entered the correct settings but I can’t seem to connect.
I have inserted that same card into my Samsung note 2 and I can easily connect for data.
My questions are:
- Would anybody know if the Samsung S4 mini specs are compatible with Japan?
- I purchased and registered both sim cards under the same credit card name.
Would that be conflicting?
I am not very knowledgeable for techs things I’d really appreciate to be pointed in the right direction in search for answer
Thanks!

hi i'm a new one on this forum and i wont your help please
i have a Samsung galaxy S3 sprint i bought on ebay and this model of GS3 doesn't has GSM Sim Card slot.
i'm looking for motherboard that it has sim card slot and i wont to change the motherboard using all part of GS3 Sprint.
So Effectively you want to gut the phone and use just the body to transplant into a GSM Phone. The motherboard of ATT SGH-I747, (ATT GS3) is available on Ebay as well. But you have to understand a large part of the money you paid for this phone was to wards the motherboard you don't want. Also even if you did buy a motherboard from Ebay or elsewhere, there's no guarantee that IT'S IMEI is not blocked.
Either way, please post in Sprint Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
or post in AT&T Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting so that the right experts may be of help.
I was looking for Samsung Galaxy S3 to use on Straight Talk. It was for the nice lady who works the phones out my place of employment.
I found a great deal on craigslist, US Cellular Samsung Galaxy S3 (SCH-530R) I check the ESN, its not stolen.
I use the Straight Talk BYOP Finder tool to check compatibility. It tells me as what I learn later to be a "generic CDMA message" that it spits out for every CDMA ESN saying it will work with a network access code
The phone is not compatible they say, they don't care their tool didn't even get me some McDonalds before it ****ed me.
What can I do with this phone? US Cellular is more expensive than most plans around here at least and there is no US Cellular store within 100 miles.
Thank you for any time you spend here, you're all given a limited amount of time on this earth and you're spending some of it helping a stranger with a phone problem. Thank you. Happy Newyears!
Hi,
I can't find anything relevant on XDA for your issue that has a solution. If your phone supports the radio bands on straight talk, it should be possible. Not sure if you need to sim unlock the device also.

Hi there! I'm moving back to India tomorrow after a few years in the US and I'm interested in getting my off-contract Verizon Galaxy Nexus and Sprint Galaxy S3 working in Delhi/NCR. I realize neither will work on a GSM network as the VZW is the I515.9 baseband and the Sprint one lacks a SIM slot, but can I get them running on a local CDMA carrier like MTS or *shudder* Reliance?
I've done some digging online and in here, but I can't seem to find anything about getting either device working on a CDMA network in India other than warnings that some carriers may not activate them if they aren't on their own "approved devices list". Any help with where I should post is greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much for your help and happy new year!
Hi,
Since you are asking about multiple devices, I suggest you try asking here first,
> Android Development and Hacking > Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
If that doesn't help, you could ask for help in the individual device sections...

> Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III > Sprint Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Good luck!
hi, i've got a phone, samsung galaxy s4 (32gb) and i've been using it without any issues for months, but recently it just stoped recieving or making calls.
on the notification bar it say "no registed network". I tooked it to a sansung center after changing my sim card, to eliminate the possibility of the issue be on the sim or network operator, and there they told me there was something wrong with my IMEI.
I checked it and this is the number that appears when I type "*#06#' : 004999010640000/01
as you see, this is is wrong, and its nothing like the IMEI number that is on the back of the celphone. the thing is that that happened by itself, I haven't done anything different from calling, texting and occasionally gaming. at the samsung center from my town they apparently didint know what to do... can anybody help me?

Hello there.
I have 2 galaxy s4 phones, one verizon and one ATT. I have verizon service and recently broke the whole lcd unit on my verizon galaxy s4. Is it possible for me to A) swap the display from the ATT to the VZW without breaking it, B) Swap the internals somehow C) Take the CDMA radio/antennas etc. and replace the ATT ones with the verizon parts and then have a compatible phone with VZW CDMA.
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
You should be able to just swap the digitizer+glass from one to the other. You can still post your question in the link below just to be certain.
