I have an unlocked motorola Droid pro. Im using it with a vodafone sim in Egypt.
voice calls and sms are working fine, the problem is that there is no Data.
I added the Apn Settings manually but it won’t work.
in the Info Screen it reads:
"GSM Service: In service
GPRS Service: Disconnected
State: Dcinactivestate
Disconnected with last try at 1:20 pm
Fail because Unknown data error."
The reason is because the only radio Band is USA,
On other android phones i have they have more than one band.
Can I flash another radio band on the droid pro?
any advise please
You can't. I have the same problem in Kuwait.
Other users are having the same issue in other countries (Netherlands) and one user did not even get calls or SMS in Hong Kong.
I'll supply you later with a link to my problem on the Motorola support forums, you can then report your problem, maybe Motorola will take an action.

My thread is called No data connection abroad.
Thread for the Hong Kong dude: "Sim Unlocked Droid Pro does not work with China Mobile sim card or in Hong Kong".
(P.S. I'm from Egypt too. I'm really pissed the Vodafone data aint working. Try Etisalat and Mobinil too and tell me what you'll get).

Ive already sent to Motorola they haven't replied yet.
I tried an etisalat sim and it actually worked! Only edge no 3g
i hope Motorola can provide a new radio band that will resolve this issues
Does the Etisalat SIM give you 3G speeds on other Android phones?
This could be configuration issue.
Did you make sure that the Network Type is Auto?
Go to Settings -> Wireless -> Mobile Networks -> Select Network, and make sure the selected option is "Automatic Default".
Uncon, check this thread: https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/43887?tstart=0
I already mentioned your case there.
Update: You can also try to flash the SBF file & hard reset afterwards, that solved the problem for some people.
Yes it the etisalat sim was in my old hero and it has 3G speeds.
I will change my Vodafone sim today maybe it will be a sim issue.
Thanks for your support.

OK fine, please PLEASE keep me updated I can live with no data in Kuwait, but when I get back to Egypt I'll kill myself if my Pro doesn't work properly
dont put your hopes up for a fix from motorola
here is there reply:
Thanks for reaching out to Motorola. I’ve reviewed your e-mail and I’m ready to help.
If you could not connect to the internet by manually adding the APN of the Service Provider on your Motorola DROID Pro, it might not be compatible with the network. You have to use the WiFi feature of the phone instead. I'm so sorry for that inconvenience.
We hope that you find this information useful and look forward to assisting you in the future.

The issue is turning out to be quite common, so we're yet to see about their response.
Keep me updated about your trials with the new Vodafone SIM and the Etisalat SIM, thanks
Uncon,
I tried with a Wataniya SIM card (some other provider here in Kuwait) and data connection was successful once I defined the settings, with the H icon showing and all, indicating the maximum possible connection speed. My stupid Zain card is still not working though.
How about you?
Mine is working fine at china unicom, some of my friends use china mobile, they have no problem with sms or data,too. Just few can't unlock.

wow.. that's bad. Did you contact Etisalat about this? Maybe they can do something from their side.
Hello, Having the same problem with my stupid Zain Kuwait sim card, and now Im stuck with a 1 year contract with them !
Whereas Wataniya and Viva works flawlessly!
Guess Zain should change their name to something like MO Zain !

Hello guys,
I really need your help. My father bought me a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge SM-G9350 in China but in Germany I cannot use the mobile data function. Everytime when I am trying to activate it nothing happens and I do not get a connection to the german mobile networks. Though I still can use the normal phone calling function. Do you guys know where the problem is? Do I have to install another firmware?
My S7 Edge is a dual-sim model with the model number G9350ZHU2APE3.
Thank you for your help
PS: I live in Germany thats why I need the access to the german mobile networks. I have also normal access to Play Store and Google Apps are pre-installed
Hey.
I have a US model S8 and i brought it here in India. I was using a Jio sim but my volte is not working even though LTE is fine. Can somebody tell me a workaround for this?

Many carrier function like volte won't work without that carriers firmware installed. On top of that , if the carrier doesn't have an imei number associated to your account that has these functions it won't work either.
Hi friends, I am a newbie here, got this LG stylus 2 from my aunt who lives in Australia. It shows model number LG Stylus DAB+. It's running Android 6.0.1.
Friends kindly tell me whether this phone is having volte, I have inserted the jio simcard but unable to make calls. Later I downloaded the Jio Voice app and then I was able to make calls.
But it is shown in many websites that this phone is having volte.
Thanks
Hello Forum,
I bought this Samsung galaxy s7 Edge in India in 2016. When I pre-ordered it, they (Samsung) asked me a sim card number, so I gave my Vodafone India number. They said, when I receive my order, I should put this Vodafone India SIM in slot-1 for 7 days, and then I can change it to whatever I want to. It worked. I can now put any SIM (except Vodafone) in any slot (1 or 2) and it works.
The problem arises when I put back Vodafone India SIM in the phone, I have to put that in slot-1. If I put that in slot-2, I can't make outgoing calls, can't access data, can't send text messages. However, I can receive calls.
So I'm wondering what is wrong? As usual, Vodafone customer care is useless and so is Samsung. Both are pushing on others. It's frustrating...
In summary, my pre-registered Vodafone SIM only works in Slot-1 and I want it to work in slot-2.
Could anyone here please help me?
Thanks,
p2kin
