Unlocked Nexus One 3G in UK - Nexus One General

Will the Nexus One work with all Networks in the UK on 3G and H?
Will it work on Three network?

it supports the same bands as the diamond 2, so I think so....

I rang up 3 UK last night to confirm if nexus one will work on 3 network and the person on the other side of the phone did'nt know what was I talking about... I tried to explain to him that I am buying Nexus one, will it work on three network, and the reply was "Sir we don't sell Nexus one at the moment"
I guess Nexus one will work on 3 Uk, I recently sold my HD2 which I was using on 3 Uk, it was working great with no problems apart from Switching between HSDPA to 3G and so forth...
The Nexus one supports the 2100Mhz band so as did HD2, so My guess is it will work.

My Nexus One arrived today, and I've put my 3 SIM card in.
Voice and text are working fine, but I'm having trouble getting an internet connection. I'm sure that is just me not getting the settings right rather than a problem with the phone/radio however.

Please update once you get the internet sorted... I'm really depending on reviews from people's experience with this phone on 3g internet etc...
I'm really interested in this phone but need to be sure if it is going to fully work with 3 UK network..

I will try, but not getting far with trying to Google the answer for the APN settings etc.
Might have to ring 3 tonight and ask them to help me, though with their previous service and the fact this is a brand new phone that they don't officially support I'm not looking forward to it.

Ok I found the following settings on my 3 Uk working on my HTC Dream (G1)
Mind you I had to search for these settings and enter them manually as wel... and since then it has been working fine.
Ok here it goes...
Name:
3g
APN:
three.co.uk
Proxy:
leave it as it is
Port:
leave it as it is
Username:
leave it as it is
Password:

MMS port:
8799
MCC:

MNC:
20
APN Type:
leave it as it is

Thanks man, but scratch that - I'm online!
Thought I had the right settings (APN should be three.co.uk) but I think I just needed to restart the phone after applying the settings.
From a quick play around it seems really good. Pages load quickly, and Google maps (coming from an LG Viewty) is amazingly fast!
I'm in central London and just did a quick speed test - results were 762 kbps, with a latency 1.05 seconds. I've seen faster, but that's good enough for now.
Conclusion - yes, it works with a 3 SIM
edit: Sorry to make you go through all that copying of the settings - appreciate the help though.

unlocked (on At&t) and cant send pictures/videos why?

Hey..So I unlocked my from from tmobile and use it on At&t's network. I have internet running fine with edge but for some reason every time i take a picture and try to send it to someone I can't? Anyone know a fix for this? And yes I do pay for picture/video messaging through At&t and I was able to do it on my old blackjack 2. Thanks
did you configure mms on the hd2 to work with AT&T's network? If not, search for the appropriate connections settings. You will change them under Start... Settings... Connections... Connections... Manage existing connections... edit... then put in the settings you found.

The 3g Is carrier dependent. The only version of the HD2 that will work on ATT 3g is the Telstra version

I currently have my old TILT on ATT but it's unlocked and on custom ROM and I tried it few time on T-Mobile and it did worked fine on their 3g.

It is a hardware limitation. You say you you had your tilt running on t-mobile 3g? That is odd as it does not have the hardware to run on the freq

Never measured the speed but there was "H" on display and not "E"
May be was my mistake.
If HD2 is not capable of running on ATT 3G I will have to change my plans.

Well, to buy it outright here in US it's $500 for Tmobile one vs $800-900 for TELSTRA version.
There is no phone in my book I would spend $800.
So it's either TMobile HD2 with edge or TILT2
LOL

I am still waiting on my unlock code so I am shooting from the hip here. I found the settings by searching, give me some time and ill get all the settings (end of day) best advice I can offer is try out different things with the settings I gave you till I get them all for you.

I Had a Tilt2 sense 2 days before release on ATT and Loved it, But took the plunge and sold it to buy my HD2, even on edge I think I made the right choice. Everything that did annoy me with the tilt 2 is not an issue with the HD 2.

What were the problems with TILT2?
As long as internet radio streaming will work on edge I can deal with it.
I use SPB Online for those things it also have internet TV but it never works up to the watchable standard.

To be flat honest it needed a ram boost. I am a huge music fan and listen all day long and it would keep running high. The camera sucked ( I know not a big deal lol) It had probs reading anything bigger then a 8gb card in the camera (also not a real big deal).As much as I liked the screen on the Tilt 2 I have to say that if it had a capasitive screen I may have just choked it up and bought my HD 2 out right instead of selling one to get the other. It will work, but I use WIFI most of the time so I cant account for the speeds

Are you running a custom or stock rom?

been using Fido 3G for 1 week, now hasn't worked for a day

I've had a new smart phone (HTC magic from rogers) on Fido for a week now and it's been working great. I got a data plan and i've been using the data for a week, no problem.
Today I go to turn my data on, and no matter how many times i turn the phone on and off, or turn the 3G toggle on and off, it won't connect. The little 3G symbol at the top of the phone won't appear and I can't get a connection.
I updated to the cyanogen 2.1 rom (the newest fully stable one) and I haven't had any problems, and it's still working great other than the 3G.
Any idea how to fix this? I'm using the APNdroid widget to toggle 3G on and off.
name: Fido internet
APN: internet.fido.ca
proxy: non set
Port: 8080
Username: fido
passworkd: fido
server: not set
mmsc: not set
mms proxy: not set
mms port: not set
mcc: 302
mnc: 370
authentication type: none
apn type: non set
It's what rogers does to people who dont update to their 911 update. They block unotherized devices. Call them and ask them to enable you data and ask them to remove you from the block list. Sometimes it takes a while for the system to find you and thats why you had your data for a week.
im having the exact same issue. did you ever figure it out. i just got the phone and everything was great then after a few days the 3g etc stopped working. i was messing with the apn settings and at the same time talking to fido. they reset it or something on there end and it started working. now a few days later and the same things happened again. its been off for a few days now. my radio version is 6.35.08.29 is that a problem with the 911 thing?
can anyone help. seems after fido reset it for me im ok again but after a few days i assume its gonna happen again. can anyone with rogers htc magics on fido chime in and let me know if they have any issues and what rom etc there using. thx
i havent expierenced this, ill think abt wut to do
its because i didnt have the 911 update. ****s up rogers and fido. updated and no more issues however i cannot root the phone anymore and am stuck on 1.5 now. **** you rogers
I think keeping your rooted ROM and signing the Waiver here www.rogers.com/htcwaiver would have worked just as well...
yea oviously however if you read the post above we are using fido and they have no such thing
Hi blazinlow,
Were you able to get your data back? I'm also Fido customer using a rooted HTC Magic and suddenly today lost internet connectivity (no 3G or EDGE) after a week. I called Rogers and the CSR doesn't seem to know what I'm talking about as he can't even find my number. He did, however know about the 911 bug and the mandatory update but insisted that I call Fido as they have control over the network?!! I wonder if I would have to get the issue escalated to their Tier 2.
well you can try with fido i had no luck. i updated my phone and now have no issues aside from no custom rom and being stuck on 1.5 meaning no navigation
I have FIDO as well and i have had my data connection dropped 3 times now. Im using a magic with 2.1. Every time that it happens I have to call in and get them to reset the connection on their end :/. Anyways they can't give me a straight answer on that either, its frusterating. What exactly is THE 911 update ? a radio update ? or firmware based.
Same issue - update?
Has anyone come up with a solution here. I've come across the same issue.
The phone worked fine on Rogers with no problem getting shut down, it is just now when I use a fido sim that we are getting the data shut down happening.
Unfortunately the 911 form provided above doesn't like my IEMI ("please enter a valid serial number") so I am left being not sure where to go next. A brief discussion with Fido tech support gave me the impression they don't have a clue how do anything other than a profile reset, which makes the problem go away for a few days.
A fall back to Android 1.5 is obviously not an option.
As I understand there may be a way to flash the base band and have an affect? Right now I am on base band 62.525.20.18H_3.22.20.17.
Any assistance would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

So after a long conversation wit Fido I have confirmed that they have no way (or perhaps interest) in utilizing the 911 waiver from Rogers and put invoking a 'stop reset' function.
They eventually fall back to the party line of, not our phone can't help you.
Again, anyone know if anything other than a fall back to ancient unusable versions of Android as a fix here?
Any help much appreciated.

[GUIDE] Getting your unlocked Note fully functional on Straight Talk (including MMS)

Disclaimer at the bottom of the post... *
Updated for ICS / Ice Cream Sandwich - tentative settings, please confirm if these work for you. (Look for additional red text.)
Thank you to everyone who took the time to figure all this stuff out! All I did was take some pretty screenshots to make it easier for beginners.
OK, I want to make this short, simple, and thorough. I don't think those things are mutually exclusive.
First, you need an activated Straight Talk SIM card that can be transferred to other phones. **
Put the SIM into your Note, turn it on, and open the system settings. Then tap the following...
Wireless and network > Mobile networks > Access Point Names
The next screen should look something like the attached image #1: "APNs". Tap the Menu button and tap the New APN button. ***
You need to create two APNs. The name you enter in the Name field apparently doesn't matter. I just used "Internet" and "MMS" to avoid confusion. Copy the settings in the two attached image numbers 2: "APN_1" and image number 3: "APN_2". I drew a yellow check mark next to all the entries that I needed to change, I suppose some firmware versions/ROMs/phones may be different. When you're done entering in all the required addresses and stuff, tap the Menu button and tap the Save button.
APN 1...
Name: Internet
APN: att.mvno
The method for setting the "APN type" varies. Choose "internet" if you are given a list of choices, type "default" if you must type it in.
APN type: internet
APN type: default
Typing "default" seems to work on imilka's AOSP ICS v03 ROM for the internet at least, I haven't tried MMS yet. I suspect it will work with other ICS builds as well.
APN 2...
Name: MMS
APN: att.mvno
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS proxy: proxy.mvno.tracfone.com
MMS port: 80
APN type: mms
When you save the second APN and you return to the APNs screen: select the radio button on the first APN (see attached image number 4: "Select_APN").
Tap the Back button to return to the Manage network settings screen. Put a check mark into the Use packet data option (see attached image number 5: "Check_use_packet_data"). Shortly after checking that box my phone connected to the network.
Yay you're done! This worked on my phone, I hope it works for y'all too.
* This is for informational purposes only. I am not an expert. Frankly, I don't even know what these settings really do. I simply copied them from other places on the internet (like this thread). There is an app, APN Backup & Restore, that can be used to (gasp!) backup and restore your APN settings, if you're nervous about doing this I suggest you backup your current APN settings before proceeding. It looks like there are other APN settings apps, it's possible one of them is better... I dunno. Personally, I did not use any APN-centric app, though I did have a backup of my whole phone made by Clockwork Mod ROM Manager
** I am no expert, but people on the internet say the only way to get a transferable SIM is to buy a Nokia E71 or a Nokia 6790 from Straight Talk. Check out straighttalk.com, they might be selling a refurbished E71 or 6790 (currently the refurbished 6790 is ~$50 with free overnight shipping). Personally, I left the SIM in my Nokia until the service was activated. I saw someone on the net say that you should switch the SIM back to the Straight Talk phone before calling tech support. I don't know if this is really something you have to do or not. Personally, I'm going to keep the phone around and use it whenever I have to call them.
*** If your screen shows some APNs already I'm afraid I don't know what you should do. I suggest you stop using my guide and see if you can get some expert advice elsewhere. I'm sorry about that!
Nice write-up! I am on ST as well.
A tip for getting a refurbished e71 to show up in the phone options is by starting the process with a zipcode nearish to where you live that is more densely populated, and then just changing the address when you are placing the order. Save some bucks that way.
Also, I believe that the E71 provided by ST is locked to the SIM included with it and will not work with other SIM cards. It is probably best to just hang onto the handset.
I have tried with Fast Dormancy (*#*#9900#*#*) both enabled and disabled and get the same speeds either way (2-3Mbps), so I just leave it disabled since it seems that it could drain the battery more if left enabled.
Thanks!
I forgot I'd seen Fast Dormancy mentioned on the other threads... I'm going to try it with it disabled for a while as well.
... later
Hmmm... disabling it seems to have started causing problems immediately. I connected to the Market and searched for a speed test app. It worked for a little bit, but by the time I had typed "speedtest" into the search bar my internet connection apparently got lost. I tried turning it back on and the internet connection seemed to return.
I am just curious, what sort of speed you getting with the Straight Talk.
I have the go-phone plan and getting these speed :
btw, i have the Fast Dormancy disabled and it work great!

What data plan you have to get those speeds with go phone?
Thanks for the info OP.. I didn't know you needed a special phone for removeable sim card.

I have the 500MB data package for $25 with monthly roll over. I guess any data plan can get my speed with go-phone.
Argh, I wrote out a response but then, being absent-minded, I decided to click a link and lost it. Here's a pic with five speed tests I did. The results are inconsistent, but it doesn't look like they're being throttled or anything to me.
Note the second one on the list. Extremes in both directions. It says 33 kbps upload speed, but I though it hung so I attempted to cancel the test early. I'm not sure if it actually finished, timed out, or if I successfully canceled it.
I'm also using my note with this setup. The only difference I did is that instead of making two separate APN types I just combined everything into one and set the APN type to Internet + MMS. Works fine for me.
Thank you thank you thank you for this.
Going to use my note on Straighttalk also.
Have been using my note on straight talk since day 1, have had a couple days of going 100+mbs of data in a day without any issues
Just like to let you guys know, don't think the grass is greener if you have a tiered data plan on ATT
I have a 2g data plan and out of 142 speed tests mostly at two different locations a mile apart I have had exactly 25 times where my speed was over 1mbps download and the majority of those were at 2am or later when there's nobody on the network. I even called them to ask if they had throttled me because my speeds were so low (I'm in the Melbourne area of Florida btw) and they said no....we just suck...ok they didn't say we just suck but after looking into it I was told yea well in the daytime there's a lot of people on the network which slows things down...Yea really? to below 1 mbps???
So if you're thinking you're missing out on something you're not...that is not until your area gets LTE theeeeeeen you'll be missing out on what is nothing short of phenomenal speed. In the meantime...save ur dough til it's in your area. I'll be going to ST or Go Phone until then myself. It's the principal of the thing too. Why should I pay top dollar for that kind of crappy speed when someone in the city is getting 49mbps dl speed on the same plan I got? While being restricted to 2Gb no less.

I have tested both the combined APN and seperate APN and get better speed with seperate APN.

wow this is on straight talk? I live in downtown seattle and was testing their network and it was like 1.5 down....
If their 3g (hspa+) speeds are the same as straight talk, there isn't any reason to get into an expensive contract.
Can anyone else post their straight talk speeds?
Straight Talk lets you buy just the sim card now so you can save $50 and skip the phone purchase.
great! is there any issues with using strait talk on the note aside from not having 4g speeds? and when do they start throttling your bandwidth? i really would rather transfer my number from tmobile and get a st sim than have to deal with edge speeds on tmobile.
So this is faster than t-mobile right? If so I'm getting it cause I'm on t-mobile now and might as well if its faster and same price
From the Beast : Galaxy Note
sounds like it is faster than normal AT&T HSPA+. From what i've seen, normal AT&T hspa+ speeds are around 1 to 1.5megs..
So if there is no LTE in your city, why have AT&T at all? Buy a phone off contract and pay only $45 a month in cell phone bills..
H+ in my area is around 2-3 during the weekday, and 5-6 meg in the evening.
Is yours not setup correctly to get only 1-2?
I got 4 Down and 2 Up using the settings they sent me with my SIM Only Straight Talk Account.

how is straight talk data service?
i have a question about straight talk's data service. on the internet, it seems like straight talk imposes limitations as to how you can use the data?
are you able to use the internet normally like watching youtube videos etc?
can you tether?
are there things that you cannot do compared to what you can do with other 3g/4g providers?
i ask these questions because i just saw this thread a moment ago, and gave me some hopes to buying an internation version of galaxy note and not have to pay too much money getting a plan with att. (i don't want the att version because of the hardware difference)

[Q] configurating the data for simple mobile?

I sure hope you guys can help me get the data up and running on my new dvp that I purchased unlocked from newegg.
This phone is approved on simple mobile's website, they even provide the programming steps to get the data functioning properly. This is where things have gone astray. When I dial the ##634# I'm taken to a EM screen that displays the following information:

According to simple mobile's programming guide I should be able to access both mms settings and data settings for proper configuration... neither are accessible from this screen.
Has anyone experienced this problem before? I spoke with simple mobile and they had no solutions, Dell was of no help as well. What do I need to do to access the mms and apn settings on my phone?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks
Your system should be updated least to Mango to change settings. Default SHIP version 7004 doesnt include operator settings only default T_mobile.
Sorry, I failed to mention that I updated the phone to windows 7.5 mango and I'm still seeing the same screen. I found a youtube video showing the screen I get to when entering ##634# but I don't have enough posts to display the link. Just search dvp matrix screen on youtube and it's the first video that comes up.
If you haven't already, you must long-press the EM application and uninstall. At that point, redial the ##634# number, and the latest version will be installed onto the device. The difference (I suspect) you'll immediately see is a new splash image of a wine glass being fancy on a table. After that, you will be greeted with significantly less options; including MMS settings.
That was the trouble I had to go through before I could get mine set up properly. I've managed to get everything working, including MMS. The issue is that I swear Simple Mobile caps data speed, which wouldn't surprise me too much. Otherwise it functions as it should. Even if WP7 doesn't really know how to treat the physical keyboard. That's one of my biggest issues with it.

Any other values are left blank. The Simple Mobile settings don't specify a port number, and the Auth Type is actually specified as "None", I believe, but EM doesn't give a good gosh golly 'bout it. Either way, I have no issues.

FYI I have my Dell Venue Pro now working on a StraightTalk T-Mobile sim getting 3G symbol top left. MMS is working too. I have the EM application with the MMS section and inputted the settings that came with the sim card.
It be interesting to what the difference between StraightTalk and Simple Mobile is. I'm getting in the bandwidth S app test around 3 meg down and 1.5 up when I did it last night.

WOW... I was contemplating switching to StraightTalk... currently on Simple Mobile $60 plan and the $15 savings is reason enough to switch. Hopefully you can give us an update in a couple of weeks... thanks!

Let me know what kind of update you looking for.
I came from a Nokia 5800 phone on AT&T with the non-smartphone data plan ($15) + 39.99 for voice no Texting since I had email. May data usage was around 2 gig go 2.2 at most one month. Probably because I set up the phone for wifi for home and couple other places.
I really like window phone 7.5 but not the experience I had with it when I tried out the HTC Titan earlier this year with the call audio quality issues and random power cycles. I almost went to contract with that phone thank god I didn't because I didn't want the hardware issues for two years.
Then I came across Dell Venue Pro even though its a year old the Phone basically works except for Compass. Call audio quality is night and day compared with Titan. Then I saw StraightTalk offering BYOP sim program. And that brings me to now. I still use Wifi whenever possible. Don't expect truly unlimited data though because it seems with a ST AT&T sim you really get around 2 or 3 gig before getting notified is some cases. With the ST TMobile simm noone know exactly the cut off. Go easy on data use Wifi when ever possible is my advice so that when you need data on the road you have it.
You don't need the EM app, all you need is the Connection Settings app

This post really helped me. I was able to change my browser APN when i typed ##634# number and got web working

Isn't Connection Settings an HTC thing?
So since I originally posted the MMS info I've sold my Venue Pro. ...But then I missed it a lot and got another, haha. I would have never guessed it, but "past" me has helped "present" me with the settings. Still a bit wonky, however. I've noticed that MMS refuses to work with WiFi on. Is that kind of a standard thing?

SM-N9005 - No 4G LTE.

Hello guys. I have a long story for you, but I am just gonna keep it very short.
I've had trouble with 4G LTE on TWO Galaxy Note 3's.
I got my first one about 4 months ago, then I got a new device about 1 month exactly because of 4G not working.
However, it is still not working.
My first phone was 100% stock, never rooted and never played with. So was my 2nd phone, and LTE still didn't work. However, it's rooted with CM11 nightly with temasek kernel on it right now, and still no 4G LTE.
I've talked a lot with my carrier (Telenor DK, Denmark) and they sent me a new SIM-card, which did not work help with the missing LTE either. I just called them again today and they double checked everything and told me that I was totally ready to go with 4G LTE.
(The location is not the problem as I've been VARIOUS places with no connection to 4G.)
All the network options are as they should be, etc. However there is still NO 4G LTE.
I then started to read on a lot of posts from this forum, and I may have come to the conclusion that my phone has different frequencies or different LTE bands than my country has? I'm not sure, but I THINK that my carrier (Telenor Denmark) uses 800mhz band.
I don't know if Cat4 is some american only standard or so? I'm not sure, I hope you guys can help.
This is what it says on the box: http://i.imgur.com/JLSrR0b.jpg?1
There is also the european certifcation sticker on the front: http://i.imgur.com/jTxqtzS.jpg?1
You won't be able to see it, but it is a shiny/glittering sticker that says "Approved for Nordic Operators" and as you might have guessed, I live in Denmark.
And at last, some screenshots of the phone: http://imgur.com/a/IHs5N - As you can see, LTE and everything is checked.
I'm not really sure what I can do more. I hope you guys have any idea of what the cause of me not being able to have 4G LTE network.
Many thanks!

Thanks for your reply.
I should have mentioned, that I already tried to play with exact these settings, without luck.
However, I did it again since it had been a long time, and sadly again no luck.
The APN settings seems to be correct set up by default.
EDIT: I have a feeling it's because my LTE radio doesn't run the right frequency/mhz. Is there anyway that I can check if that's the problem?
And for clarity, I have never seen the 4G logo on my phone. My connection is 3G / H+ 50/50 of the time.

Telenor Denmark uses 1800Mhz for its LTE network so it should be compatible as you are using a Note 3 N9005 as listed on GSMArena Note 3.

Okay thanks! great to have that out of the way.
Now, I'm just asking out of curiousity.
What does the Cat4 on the box in the LTE section mean? Could it be anything with that?
Does that mean Band 4? .. Because it looks like Telenor uses band 3? Now. I have no idea what I am talking about and if this really matters, but please correct me if I am wrong.
EDIT: Also, my phone has a 4G logo on the back of the slim case you get with it. I've heard some people say that it's only the american models that get these?
It looks like this: http://goo.gl/UUJXCK - It says 4G in the middle where it says Galaxy Note 3 on this one.

I believe Cat 4 is just a hardware standard indicating peak datarates.
Try selecting the mms apn rather than the internet one and see if that changes anything.
I had a similar issue with Telus not receiving internet till i switched from the isp.telus apn to sp.telus apn.
Worth a shot i guess.

Thanks a lot for your help. Well I can't select the Telenor DK MMS like I can select the internet one. If you look at the picture there is a blue check mark at the internet one which the mms one doesn't have. If I click on the MMS one it just takes me to the settings. I hope it makes sense. Thanks.

Oh, ummm.
You could try to edit the internet one to be identical to the mms settings. If anything, you can just revert it back to the internet settings if it doesn't help.

I have tried to do that multiple times without any luck at all.
I will try to do it in a few minutes just in case, however it never seems to help. The only thing that happens is that my mobile connection drops for about 20 seconds then comes back as the usual 3G / H+.
EDIT: I played around with the APN settings again, for about 1 hour, still with no luck.
So I'm stuck here as of now. I've tried everything mentioned in this thread and nothing works.
I am not sure what is wrong. I hope any of you might have more possible solutions for my LTE problem on my SM-N9005.
Thanks.

I'm sure that your APN settings are wrong... they are wrong by default sometimes. 2G and 3G is working for you, right? If yes, than it's the problem with settings. Try to copy APN setting from someone who has a phone with working 4G ( and is the same carrier as you ).

I've been thinking the same. Perhaps I'm doing it wrong or something, because I've tried to change the settings so much. I don't have access to a 4G phone on the same carrier, neither does any of my friend use my carrier (atleast I think so) - so I will do some more internet research.
Again, thanks a lot for your help, friend!
EDIT: I've found some totally different Telenor APN settings than I've ever seen before. I'm not sure if they're old or not, but I'll definitely try now and report back.

Then try to call your carrier service, and request that they tell you all of APN settings. Try every one of them. I had exactly the same problem, they were sending me bad APN settings. They were also telling me that everything is good on their side with network, and that my phone is broken. So don't believe them, you probably know more about technology than 90% of workers there

I tried with the ones I found, and they do not work.
I took your advice and tried to call them once again, but what they told me is already what the default APN is, like in my pictures from my previous post.
I'm still lost without LTE.

I don't know if your telco does this but Telstra in Australia will send a system message that will save the correct APN settings into your phone. This can be initiated by you through their internet site, no call center staff to stuff things up... You receive the message like a normal sms but when prompted install and save...
Might be worth a shot to either ask to be sent the settings or see if they do the same on their website... You might be lucky...

It seems like they do not offer such service. However I looked at some APN setup guide on their website, and it is 100% identical to what my APN's look like.
Hmm. As stated before, 3G and HSPDA, HSPDA+ works perfectly. But no 4G/LTE. Never.
I'm sorry for double posting, but I've got some news. (I think.)
So, someone told me that I should try to dial *#*#4636#*#* and put up screenshots of it, so I figured out that I should put them here too.
So when I dailed *#*#4636#*#*, I got to this screen: http://i.imgur.com/nvEQqUF.png
I then chose phone information, and I got here: http://i.imgur.com/TTPAHw5.png - Notice that H+ is working fine.
Then I tried to select LTE only, and this happened: http://imgur.com/eNfl4xk - No signal from LTE at all.
I'm not sure if this is anything new, but I thought I'd show it here too.
Thanks.
EDIT: Okay, so I've made some further investigation and some people tell me that I might have the wrong CSC number for my country. However, I have no idea what that means really. Is it possible for me to "flash" the
correct CSC number onto my phone or something like that?
EDIT: I'm going to flash STOCK Nordic 4.4.2 ROM and solve the issue there, I've heard some talking about I should do that first. I will report back if I find my solution. Thanks.
Hello again.
I haven't really been doing anything to search further, but I am still left with no LTE, the flash of the 4.4.2 stock nordic rom did not help.
Just thought I'd give a little update.
