All,
I bought an open box G7 Power International off eBay for use on Google Fi. It is supposed to work. It only shows 3G . I hsve tried with support to see the Network operator using *#*#FIINFO#*#* but get this error code "Connection problem or invalid MMI code" my phone is software channel retla. Of course I an only use data jf I'm on WiFI. Any help in getting or finding hiw to set up LTE to work on ANY channel would be appreciated. I'm in Northern Virginia. Android version 9, Build PPO29.80-27.
Thank
Interestingly enough, if I put a Google Fi data only card in SIM2 slot, it will pick up LTE with the regular Google Fi SIM in SIM1 slot. Comments/thoughts?

Hi everyone,
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 (16gb) in Singapore and was using it fine on Singtel's network (signed a contract with them). Now I have moved back to Canada and brought my phone with me assuming that all would be ok to use it with the network here. However I'm having big problems with this one network I just signed up with (Virgin Mobile).
85% of the time I cannot connect to it: voice calls and SMSing won't work nor will the data work on it, the only thing it says is "Emergency calls only". Then at other times everything will seem to connect and work fine - I can make calls and use data.
Virgin Mobile will not support me much because they're thinking it's the phone's problem, if I use the phone they gave me (a lower-end model) it works fine.
Here are some details of my phone:
Firmware version
2 2
Baseband version
I9000DXJPA
Kernel version
2 6 32 9
root (at) SE-S604 #1
Build number
FROYO DXJPA
If I check out the status, it usually says this:
Network
Unknown (switches to VIRGIN when it does work)
Mobile network type
UMTS (switches between that and HSDPA and GPRS)
Service state
Out of service
Mobile network state
Disconnected (switches to connected when working, and even when it's not working sometimes)
I have Network mode set to auto mode (GSM/WCDMA). I've tried to switch it to GSM only but that didn't seem to change anything.
I'm wondering if there's some kind of configuration settings I still need to do with the phone? I'm also wondering if it is the network I'm with right now? Virgin Mobile isn't one of the bigger telcom companies here and I'm thinking that if I switch to one of the bigger telcoms, will it work better?
Something else to add - before I signed up with Virgin I was using my phone with a pre-paid service (called Chatr) for voice only and it was working fine.
I'm sure this phone can support the GSM frequencies here.. can't it?
I also still have the Singtel customizations on the phone. Will it help if I remove it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks a lot!

sorry, wrong category..
Hello people, I'm trying to use a Claro sim card on my Personal phone (both carriers are argentinian), but can't get it to work.
The Claro card works on other phones. Mi xt925 is running CM 10.1.3 and the correct baseband (100700.220.62.33p).
It even showed me the gsm menu from Claro but no option worked, and still have no signal and get "Network not available" error.
I get something about the sim can be registered in Claro Argentina (as I said, the sim is working with no problem on other phones) when tryng to choose network.
I already have and unlock code, and don't have another sim (from a different carrier) to test it.
Is there anyway to force the phone to ask for the code?
EDIT: In case someones gets to this post, I fixed it going back to stock rom by using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38190729.
I put my sim card in and automatically asked me for the code.
So I got a refurbed LG Urbane 2nd Edition (W200V) Verizon version. It didn't come with a SIM card. When I went to Verizon to get the watch activated on my account, they needed the IEMI. I checked in Settings / Cellular / SIM Status, and it has all cellular settings as "Not Available."
Do I need a SIM for these to become available? Or is there something wrong with the watch?

Both the serial number (S/N), and the ESN/EIMI will be etched on the back of the watch. You'll see these along the edge of the removable facing (the one you remove in order to access the sim card.)
The S/N will be 14 characters long and will be alpha-numeric. The ESN/EIMI will be 15 characters long and is ONLY numeric.
I actually figured that out, but also found out that this information is only visible in the watch when there is a sim in place. Like it disables the cellular comm chip until the sim is located.
But thank you. Maybe this will help someone else.
I bought an unlocked 10+ for google Fi, the variant I got was Charter Spectrums (blindly). Google Fi services work! However carrier information says Spectrum, I cannot manually select operators (for overseas use) and simcard apps do not show actual roaming network or sim carrier info...always overlaying Spectrum as default even though im on Fi connected to Telekom.
Is there a way to fix this? I need to see real carriers I am roaming on overseas and be able to manually switch when needed its unlocked asides from this seemingly.. I used package disabler on the spectrum configuration services app along with vzwconfigs just incase no dice.
Couldn't you just flash the unlock firmware with Odin?
Hi all,
Here is my situation and problem. I have 2 Sims:
SIM 1: Google Fi - my personal number, I want to use it for phone calls only even though it has a small data lan
SIM 2: Verizon - work sim, I want all the data to go through here.
My setting is phone call sim 1 and data Sim 2.
When I make a phone call via SIM1, I lost LTE on my SIM2.
I did call Verizon to get the CDMA LESS feature turned on.
If I were to change the setting to phone call and data through the same sim, then VoLTE works just fine. So I think this is an issue with the phone itself/settings.
Thoughts?

You need to go into settings "SIM & network settings".
Select "Dual 4G networks".
I don't have your issue.

I have a similar problem. Voice on SIM1 data on SIM2 different carriers. Receive calls and text OK answering won't work. Roaming in Europe. Worked OK prior to recent update. Same setup works on Samsung S10e

Can't believe there are so few of us having this issue. Why would the LTE turn off when I'm not even using that sim?
Probably many are using just a single SIM.
Have you tried switching the sims in the slots?

I have no help. In January Mint had an issue where their SIM had to be in slot 1. So I flipped SIMs. Truphone won't work either.
