[Q] How to use an Indian SGA in USA - Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I bought my SGA from India. I will be in US for 2 months. When I inserted a US SIM in my phone, no network was shown.
Is it because of the difference in frequency bands of GSM in India and USA? But isn't SGA quad-band? (850/900/1800/1900)?
Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance..

Indian Ace should work in USA too..
Actually, I traveled to USA with my Indian Galaxy Ace and it worked for me. I tried international roaming with my AirTel number and also tried AT&T network at USA.

have you unlocked your phone already?
if you're rooted you can use galaxy ace unlock. it's free and easily gets you the code needed for unlocking.
just search for it on the play store

Flashing US version of android firmware may solve the issue.

I haven't unlocked my phone, but have rooted it. I don't think Indian Phones are locked.

Yes u r correct. Indian fones are not locked. Try a US based firmware or try Network Settings- Auto detect Carrier and choose mode to Auto.

I am thinking of free unlock methods , since its hardware is nearly exactly same as the Galaxy S2 which can be unlocked free from the market.
Why not just ROM from SIM free EU Note using Odin?
I've done it few times over the weekend to restore the phone, it should remove all the carrier crap inc SIM lock.

Anyone test this app?
how can you tell if you have a locked Note besides using a different carrier SIM?
No success with KJ1

SG Note unlocked from leaving factory in the UK.
As for flashing a rom to remove carrier crap, thats just debranding, flashing a rom or kernel does not affect its network lock status, that is a completely different thing to flashing.
cellunlocker is one of the cheapes and most effective ways, and is guaranteed 100% or your money back.

Hey guys i am getting a new galaxy note n7000 and just wanted to know can this model be unlocked to run on AWS frequency?
Thanks in advance.
I can unlock your sim, but first check if N7000 works with the frequency of your carrier.

It does not support AWS, so you will not get 3G.

Unlocking phone for European trip on Slim Bean 4.1.2 ROM

Hello,
I gave my girlfriend my phone running Slim Bean 4.1.2 ROM on my captivate for her trip throughout Europe. I assumed it was unlocked and would work with any GSM carrier in Europe if she bought a SIM card and popped it in. Well, I was wrong and it didn't work and now I'm in a pickle. Can someone please give me an easy solution to unlock the phone!!!!!!! She has to be able to figure it out with me explaining it to her. I was thinking a zip file she could flash in CWM, but anything easy would be most definitely great.
Sincerely, SP
GalaxSim Unlock app by Spocky from the Play Store. The ability to do the unlock isn't free but should do the job on the Rom she has on her phone now.
The other unlock app by helroz, u would have to flash back to Stock first then unlock...i think.

Thank you sir. This is exactly what I'm looking for. She's asleep atm, but when she wakes up she'll give it a go.
This may sound stupid. Can you get the unlock code from ATT? After 1 year they are supposed to provide this 4 free?

I bought my phone used on eBay some years ago. First, I used o2 wireless then Straight Talk. Not sure how to go about it. Her phone still doesn't work. I should mention she's has a Vodaphone and an Alditalk sim card.

[Q] Galaxy S3 Mini 3G Problem - Bolivia

Greetings,
I recently purchased a S3 mini in Bolivia. I can use it in the GSM mode to make calls and data at EDGE speeds.
However, when I switch it to WCDMA mode, I can't use the phone to make calls or for data.
Is there a way I can make my phone work here with 3G.
I know we have HSDPA+ here.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Hola amigo!
Is your phone an I8190L model? That one is the variant for south America. Maybe another version will not work on our networks.

Thanks for your reply. I have the I8190. Do you think there is a way of modifying the software on the phone so that it emulates the L version?
Thanks.
