Xperia Pro/Neo/V/L :: Unlocked Phone Does Not Work On Cell Carriers?
Dec 17, 2012
I bought a new, unlocked Xperia Ray from Hong Kong, China. I also upgraded it to the latest available software: 4.1.B.0.587.This Xperia Ray unlocked phone does not work on Bell, Rogers or Videotron carriers in Canada who own the three Canadian cell networks. The IEMI number is rejected from these carriers. I tried the Virgin SIM (uses the Bell network) and the Rogers (Rogers network) SIM, and neither one works. I also called Telus, and no go either.Bell has other users who use the Xperia Ray and one of their affiliates Fido sells the Xperia U and the Xpreia Go. These phones show the same network specs as the Ray (HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 - ST18a).Bell network (Virgin and Fido): phone must be HSPA (or UMTS) and,850 MHz and 1900 MHz compatible. (They use HSPA+) ,Rogers network: HSPA+ 850/1900 MHz ,Videotron: HSPA 1700/2100 MHz
I called Bell customer service and they say that it must be a different phone from the Canadian Xperia Ray... but that does not make sense. Isn't there only one Xperia Ray version??? How can one Xperia Ray work and the other not work???Can anyone clearly explain the problem to me? I don't get it and it really sux cause now I need to return the phone, which I really like.
I have an unlocked iPhone 4S from UK, which i have been able to use in verious countries on GSM network, so now i'm shifting to States and i want to use my iPhone 4S on Sprint or Verizon.
1) Can i use CDMA network?
2) will i still be able to use GSM?
3) will my iphone still remain unlocked or will it be locked?
I spend 1/2 my time in US and 1/2 in Malaysia. I would like to buy an iphone 4S and use the phone with a local carrier in US and Maxis in Malaysia. Can this be done if I buy a factory unlocked phone?
My iphone keeps changing carriers with auto carriers turned off. It's only just started doing this since the latest software update. I have an orange contract so I'm able to switch between orange and T-mobile on my contract as both companies have merged. The problem is I can only get 3G on one where I live and it keeps changing to the other network that I don't want to choose.
I have a Z2, update it stopped working but the front camera. Following that I wanted to load the previous software, but is now worse, not light. How I can ingresarar recovery mode to reset? Not recognize or computer to phone.
I have just ordered my very frist ever blackberry anyway it is the new torch and it is unlocked and i have been assured that it will work fine with my (3 Australia network) and i manged to get 24 month australian warranty and i have changed my plan over already to ensure i get my bis + 1g(so it should be sweet).So hear is my QuestionsWhat problems can i expect with trying to get the phone to work and function properly? How do i get my bis account working? should i try and get the info i need of 3 now (to speed thing up on the day i get the phone) or do i need the torch in my hand?what else can i do now to make it easy on the day to get it going?
So, I just bought a JB'en iphone 3g tonight.Went ahead and unlocked it using ultrasn0w.Connected it to my mac/itunes, and it asks "an iphone has been previously synced with this computer. setup as a new iphone -or- restore the backup of ***"So, since I had purchased apps using my *** phone (actually was an ipod touch that i got rid of), I'm thinking that I should restore the backup so that I can get my paid apps back for free.
Questions: -will restoring this backup to the new unlocked phone restore it to its original locked state (i.e. will i have to re-jailbreak/unlock)? or will it simply restore preferences, etc...? -otherwise, if i call this phone a new name, is there a way to transfer my purchased apps to the new phone's account?
We the customers must unite and send apple a message. The time has come to end the AT&T exclusivity with the Iphone. All the bad stories about drop calls should be enough for apple to see that an AT&T extension is not wanted. The Droid revolution is coming strong and people that don’t want AT&T like myself are going to get a Droid meanwhile. All you Iphone lovers that don’t want apple to continue with the exclusivity with AT&T lets unite and send apple a message, cause the Iphone is the #1 smartphone cause we the customers have made it that way.
My cell phone will sometimes shut down or freeze and the only way to get it to turn back on is to remove the battery and put it back in. After that I can power my phone back on again and all is good until the next time it freezes.I noticed this sometime happens when I am using the wall charger. I will plug the phone in before bed (it’s turned on), and the next morning when I take it off the charger, the phone will not power on. I have to remove the battery as indicated above.
I have had the phone for two weeks and am wondering if I have a defective battery and if getting a new one will solve the problem. Has anyone else experienced this?
When I tried to update the firmware in a Mexican made Nokia C7 (Latest available software for your device: Version::013.016), it said it had the latest but when I updated the same model made in Hungary the firmware was (Latest available software for your device: Version::025.007) much newer than in the former one. Why is this?
So, have z3 dual, havent any problems with him but after 2 mounth when comes 23.4.A.1.232 became some issue. That battery lifetime of cell stendby became 35% !!! before was 7-11% only. All daytame phone take full cell quality, 5 lines on sim1 and sim2
First let me start by saying that I do know what I am doing I have a 3G which I have unlocked and take regularly with me to France when I come here for work and I just swap the ATT SIM with the SFR SIM and everything works.This time around I took a 3GS, that is from FR Orange that I have JB and unlocked and works with the ATT SIM in the US no problem. Except that when I got here in France this time around (without my 3 G ) I popped the SIM in and I get what you guys see in the screen shot, the network is found but the bars are horizontal so I get no reception at all. The SIM still works if I try it in another phone. I don't know if ATT still works on the phone since their signal is so spotty here and I just get no service with that SIM here -- I really don't see why it would have stopped working either.I have read every thread on what I think are similar issues but nothing works. I cannot redo the j/b unlock from here since the computer that I use to sync with is back home and I would be without all my music for the rest of the journey and my trip back home. Please let me know if someone has ideas.
I'm planning to buy two new 9650s today on-line from Verizon. I will be replacing two 8330s. I have always gone into the store to purchase my cell phones, but I'm thinking with some help from the folks here I can pull this off myself.I guess my biggest question is how do I get the service switched from my 8330s to the new phones??
Can I do this with DM and the MyVerizon page only or do I need to call someone at Verizon?And who do I call and what do I ask them ?
After I up dated soft wares for my cell phone, my cell phone started turns it off by itself. It goes to blank(no light on), and the only way I can turn it back again is to take out the battery from the cell phone and put it back again.Now I can't even do the same thing and turn it on anymore! When I plug my cell phone to the charger, it shows a battery sign with a kind of lighting picture on top of a batter pic in the middle of screen.What can I do?Is there any way I can talk to manufacture in the US to replace my cell phone after 1 year of warranty?
I've searched for this without any success. I know there are a bunch of apps out there that will let me send free SMS messages using a new phone number.But are there any that will let me use my existing cell phone number to send free SMS messages?
Can anyone help me correctly download software cell phone tracking application to my LG Env 3?It has been a nightmare! I tried following the software directions, but LG says you need a micro SD card so I purchased one and reloaded it on the card, formatted it, and still doesn't work?
