[Completed] Alcatel OT Fierce dropping network overseas - XDA Assist

I have an Alcatel One Touch Fierce, originally T-Mobile, currently unlocked, stock ROM (4.2.2) rooted. It had no connection issues in the US or in Germany, but anywhere in Israel after boot it connects to the mobile network for only a fraction of a second, just long enough to receive a bunch of brand new notifications, and then it immediately drops the network and can't find it again. It does this both on a T-Mobile sim while roaming, and with a local sim.
I was unable to find any posts with similar issues for any handset, and I couldn't find a dedicated forum for my device to make a post. If I could get any help with this that would be amazing, thanks.

Hi, thank you for using XDA assist.
Looks like there is no dedicated forum for your device yet.
However there is a general forum for android here http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help where you can get better help and support if you try to ask over there.
Good luck.

No network in US but works fine in Canada

Hi guys,
I'm new to the forum. I've tried searching for some answers but can't seem to find how to resolve the problem. I'm quite new to using PPCs so let me know if there's any information that you guys need.
So my phone works fine in Canada using Rogers... but everytime I go to US, I cannot detect a network for my phone and there's a "!" at the top. I tried searching for a network and it says "no network found" or sometimes it tries to register and then it fails in the end. In US, my phone automatically shuts off... I have no idea how this happens but everytime I go to look at my phone after leaving Canada, it's off. So when I go to turn it back on, there's no phone signal. I have no idea what to do as I'm not very familiar with PPCs.
Thanks for the help!
Which phone are you trying to use? Guessing Touch Pro?
Is international roaming or data roaming added to your account with Rogers?
Hey I have the HTC Touch Pro... yeah I've used this sim with my eten m700 before and it works fine. It just always seem to be searching for a network then it can't find any.
Thanks!!!
are you a prepaid customer? if so, Rogers doesnt allow roaming outside of canada.
Hey there... Just figured I'd pipe in here...
I am still using a TyTN (shopping for a Touch Pro today), and although I was able to always use my phone in the states, since my last firmware upgrade (WM6.1, new radio stack)....
....I can't get any service when I cross the border.
SOMETIMES I'll get 10 minutes of service over the course of an entire day. Very strange.
It is obviously firmware-related... Good luck with your phone...!
Thanks for all the help guys...
Nope I'm not a prepaid customer... should I be upgrading something on my phone to see if it works? Sorry... really don't know much about PPCs here!
just out of curiousty, have you called Rogers to ask for an updated OTA to be pushed to your SIM?
I've contacted Rogers and they said it has nothing to do with them... it's my phone! Should I contact them for the OTA? I'm sorry to be so noobie but... what does OTA do?
Thanks again!
Anyone help please!!!

[Completed] Needing help finding a US APN for a Doogee phone

I'm new to the forums. For some time now I have used Straight Talk for a carrier using AT&T and T-Mobile phones with sim cards and have always setup my and others APN's without any issues. About a year ago I purchased a Doogee Voyager DG300, which from my understanding is a clone phone, from China. These phones have no carriers and come unlocked. The Voyager has version 4.2 on it and it worked great, until a blemish in center of the screen, almost like a ripple appeared from spending to much time in my front pocket. I recently upgraded to the Doogee Hitman DG850, it has version 4.4 0n it. Very nice phone. I can send and receive calls as well as send and receive texts, including MMS, without any issues. My issue is I can not get data on this phone beyond 2G. I've tried every APN variation possible including switching sim cards. I have checked the frequencies in my area versus the specs on the phone and every thing looks right. I have spent several hours with Straight Talk reps as well as an hour or so with a Google rep trying to resolve the issue. The phone works great on wifi, but the data responds like dialup. The Google rep advised me that even tho Doogee is not on the list of manufacturers for certified Android OS but checking the version I'm using he advised me it is a proper build version of KitKat. Can anyone help me?

[Completed] Considering swapping logic board from SGH-M919 (T-Mobile) to SGH-i337 (At&T)

I have had my unlocked SGH-i337 (AT&T) for a while and I love everything about it. The only problem is that I am on T-Mobile network and am therefore unable to take full advantage of the phone's capabilities (Wi-Fi calling, Visual Voicemail, and most importantly, being able to switch on voice and data roaming) ...
Not being able to have Voice and Data roaming is a huge hindrance because I am unable to take advantage of T-Mobile's free roaming and therefore lose reception when traveling outside of T-Mobile coverage area.
A friend recently gave me his old SGH-M919 that is T-Mobile branded, and therefore has access to the above-mentioned features. The only problem is that the body of the phone is pretty rough shape and the phone is running on Android 4.4.2 whereas mine is still in great condition and runs on 5.0.1
I was wondering if it would be advisable to swap the logic boards of the two phones to optimize form and function of the unit that I am to keep.
Please excuse my ignorance on this topic as I am a noob when it comes to these matters...I am just looking to get optimal performance out of my phone.
Thanks in adavance!!!

[Completed] [REPOST]

This is a repost from this I had to do it beacuse the forum system would not let me respond to my own threat as i created it anonymously. Sorry for the inconvenience but i have not been able to do it.
Edit: MAN i forgot to add the title, now i feel dumb!
Hi everyone.
Last time i was in xda forums was when i try to mod my windows mobile CE 5.0 lol
This is my sad story:
I bought in the US a samsung s7 with T-Mobile SM-G930T, i paid a guy who 'unlocked' it in there. After that i brought it to Colombia, in here i run the T-mobile unlock app which succeded and erased itself after that. Then the cellphone started working with all the mobile companies in my country except for one that operates over 1800 mhz, other companies do work fine. When i insert a simcard of this company it just says that 'Not registered in network' and wont do nothing. I already tried to put the APN settings correctly (Actually it automatically loaded every company settings detected).
After that i tried to root with a modded Odin with a custom ROM and it succeeded and i got the SuperSU application, tho the cellphone its a little laggy now, but neither that way it worked. Anyone knows how where should i start looking?
I went to this company support and they sent me to Samsung support, which redirected me back to this company, lol
Thanks in advance guys
Update:
I have entered the service mode and enabled just the bands i need, also all the bands both in GSM and LTE but could not get it working
Also i tried to find the HiddenMenu file on /efs/carrier but its just not there.

attempted root on amsung Galaxy S7 on the EE network SM-G930F but now says GIGA LTE

Hello I am new to these forums so please forgive me if I have posted this up on the wrong section i is all new to me & a little overwhelming
last night not knowing what I was doing I attempted to route my phone with ODIN 3 shortly afterwards regretting it thinking I bricked my phone after many hours i got it working again
but in the phones android settings on the network provider bit it says GIGA LTE KT twophone service even though I should be with the ee network
I can still recieve texts & make calls the phone it self says EE after i hit the power button to turn the screen off & back on again but once back on the home screen it doesnt say EE on the notification bar
so I am left wondering can that particular issue be fixed ?
will it help if I put the correct firmware on the phone if so where can I download the exact & correct firmware for Samsung Galaxy S7 on the EE network SM-G930F ?
what does it mean when it says GIGA LTE KT twophone service ?
I rang EE on my phone number 150 that said I wasnt in any trouble and they dont think it will cause any trouble as I can recieve and make calls & texts etc they seemed to think it is working fine
just a little concerned by the GIGA LTE KT twophone service network thing
