Did not find mine "i897UCKK4" !!

thanks guys for trials , i appreciate
but i remembered something may help you in helping me my mobile was bought
from
at&t then i traveled to another county doesn't support at&t network , so i have
had to unlock this mobile to the new notwork and then i choose to unlock to (Any
network) , my bro had the same mobile i tried to but other SimCard different form
his own and didn't work too !! and he was unlocking to any network too !!!
does this relate to my problem ?
i want to clarify that the network is UN stable sometimes works and other no !!

Sounds like the network that u r connecting to may have one frequency that the captivate can use and so sometimes u get a signal and sometimes not.
This is what happens if u try to use the captivate on t mobile---u can only get the edge.
U need to look at that networks frequencies and see if that is the case as far as what the captivate is designed to work on.

You should look into flashing a custom rom, with a custom modem. I have serendipity 7 flashed on mine, and I get full bars where ever I go. I am also on att though. Serendipity 7 comes with its own custom bootloaders, kernel, and modem i believe too. I get very good service, and data connection (HSDPA). I think it's hsdpa, whatever the "H" means.

Just wondering..
Out of curiosity, Limitz, when you're getting those full bars of yours, what signal strength are you getting under 'About Phone'? Been thinking of switching to a new modem (I9000UGKG3, Slim ICS 3.4, Semaphore 1.0.0) but it's hard to know what's normal without a frame of reference.

I'm running an AT&T captivate in Malaysia running on the Maxis network GSM/WCDMA. You just need to make sure you have the right things installed.
Under your Settings>About Phone, what do you have listed for the following sections:
- Android Version
- Baseband version
- Kernel Version

if i did that custom ROM flashing for my modem !!! it does not relate to which network i am using ? when ever i install it will work ?
sorry i have a question you mean by " ROM flashing"
a driver for my modem because of the hard reset i have done ?

^ OP,
Who is ur Cell Provider, since it is not at&t ??
And do u know what network frequencies they use ?

Hi Bro this is very common problem... due to the fact you are flashing your cellphone with rom that maybe is from europe, you will need to get the modem from your country and flash the modem trough "ODIN" ,it works for me so eveytime i Use a rom from any developer from any country i just flash the modem with odin and wuala start working the 3g and hdsp+ connection do a little bit of search i will try to upload the files if you need help with that.... Do a little bit of search and this only flash the modem so it will not change any settings on your phone...

Its possible you are on the wrong Network, some network providers belong to the same group as such your phone may be getting signals from their sister network and not from the network your sim originates from
check menu> settings> wireless and network > mobile networks > and select the correct network , if its on another

[Q] GT-N700 Note, signal problem

Hi folks, I have an unlocked note GT-N700, it works on other networks such as giffgaff/O2. But when I use a t-mobile sim it has a very weak signal then drops to emergency calls (useless). Tried 2 different t-mobile sims, both the same. Can sit my galaxy s3 beside the note and the s3 has good signal but the not remains on emergency calls.
I have tried an Orange rom, root the different roms, tried flashing different modems XXLR1 & XXLS0 still no joy.
Any help is appreciated. Just seems the note refuses T-Mobile (UK btw)

WIFI was working for me on a Daily build I iused last week. I wasn't able to get data. The 3G icon came up but dissapeared quickly. I think it's because Koodo uses HSPA+.. not sure about Rogers.
I tried it and my phone wouldn't connect to 3g or h+ not sure why or how

According to some Youtube videos the 13.10 version still occasionally freezes and isn't quite ready for daily use yet. Can anyone confirm?

Unistalling... im install CM stable now.. because mobile data not work for me in ubuntu.. im form albania
Don't bother installing guys , the so-called stable release is very unstable. Apps are sloppy , kernel is not optimized , no 3g or 4g for that matter. You get wifi and cell (edge) connection. That's it.
But it had an amazing interface though...
