I bought an unlocked Sprint G8 phone on Ebay and I have been using this mobile company called Red Pocket on all of my phones and have had little to no issues using their GSM sims until now. The problem I'm having is that I can make phone calls but I can't edit the APN setting to get data as they're all grayed out. I contacted both Red Pocket and Sprint and they both told me that the problem is on my end not theirs.

Thank you so much!
What kind of speeds are you getting on LTE? I just went through this myself, at first it was showing 3g but I was able to get it to show lte after switching some settings on the phone, thing is I'm getting much slower speeds than I did on my previous phone and I'm pretty sure I'm not actually getting lte speeds contrary to what it says.
Hey guys, I'm having the same issue. The app was able to add a new APN, but there are two others I can't get rid of, even if I reset the network settings with the SIM card removed. I can't seem to get it worked out to where I only have one APN configuration. Can anyone explain how they worked it out?
Can someone confirm that the MyNewAPN_test.apk app still works? When i try to add a new APN, i dont get a keyboard so i cant type.

I messed up my motherboard the other day (I'd rather not say how - really stupid) and have ordered a used one from ebay. I assume changing out the board will change my IMEI? And if so, am I going to have any problems getting it activated at the AT&T store since the sticker shows a different IMEI?
Thanks for any help/info anyone can give. I appreciate it.

Yes, you'll have a different IMEI... Just swap your SIM into it, and don't even call or go to ATT... No need for that...

Thanks for the response! Unfortunately, I had to borrow my sister-in-law's Iphone 3g in the meantime (worst 4 days of my life ) and my sim is in there, so I assume I'm going to have to go in to have it switched back?
Thanks again.

Hello!
I purchased my HTC One in America thru AT&T on August 14th, 2013 (a little less than a month ago).
I recently unlocked my phone using cellunlocker.net...I followed their instructions and my phone said it unlocked.
However, now I am unable to connect it to Taiwan Mobile (aka TW Mobile).
I know the local SIM card I have is working, since I am able to use it in another phone.
I am not sure if the issue is that my phone is too new or if my phone is just incompatible with the local networks? This seems very strange to me since HTC is based in Taiwan!
Any help you guys can provide will be greatly appreciated. I just got this phone and really love it! I hope I can continue to use it and don't have to ebay it :fingers-crossed: :fingers-crossed: :fingers-crossed:
Thanks for reading and have a good day

I bought an AT&T One and brought it back to Taiwan. It worked pretty well.
The only different from u is I unlocked by AT&T.

How do I know if I have the correct APN settings entered? I'm assuming since my phone said it did unlock after I entered the code that I did it correctly.
Do you think it may not be working because I've had the phone less than a month?
Thanks so much for the quick replies everyone. I really appreciate it! :highfive:

When I try to connect to TW Mobile, a notice pops up reading "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network." Other than that, I'm not sure in which way it won't connect. Sorry I'm not uber techy :silly:

APN
Go to settings, Mobile Data, Access Point Names, and use the 3 button menu to create a new APN(Access Point Name). You will have to google (your mobile service provider name) + "APN settings" to find out what to input. Or if you have another android phone on the same network (or know someone who does) you can copy the APN settings from them. Good luck!

I would interpret that message as reporting a locked phone, it may be that the SIM unlock failed .

Hi, My friend Joined Boost Mobile and they gave him an HTC One. He is not happy with Boost and is going to change carriers. He wants to know if he can flash his phone for another carrier like Sprint or Verizon or ATT or T-mobile or is he better off selling the phone on Ebay and getting a phone through his new carrier?
Thanks for any input you can give.

When we talked about this, he said the phone doesn't have a sim. I have no idea if thats true or not. I texted him to double check. He got the phone from Boost when he signed up with them.

First find out what your carriers settings are, like the APN settings. See if it's gsm cdma.. You can try going in the phones settings and checking them out open the dialing pad and *#*#4636#*#* and look around.
hi, thank you for your response, that menu was the first thing i tried lol, i put an o2 sim in and i got it to show the H symbol next to the signal bars which still had a cross on them, it also auto installed the apn settings other than that, no change

You cannot unlock the SIM card with a code from anywhere online it doesn't work that way because number one the SIM card in these phones is only to allow the phone to get LTE internet speeds number two the MEID is how the phone gets service not just the SIM card cause you can remove the SIM card and the entire phone will still work just without LTE number three you can't insert another carriers SIM card and then have the phone ask you to enter the unlock code because the phone will never ask for that code when you put another SIM in there it will just say invalid SIM card and nothing else and number four, the phone is unlocked via uicc and has to be done on the carriers side not some unlocking websites code....

No. Because many people have gotten the unlock codes and not a single person can find a way for the phone to ask for it. Of course he IS in Europe and their rules are different there so he may have, who knows.

It could be a legitimate unlocking site that he used and expected it to work with his 510 (which they probably don't say that they don't support it), in which case he can probably convince them to refund his money.
Or it could be a scam site, in which case he'll have to do a charge-back or something to get his money back.
Also, he could take it to his current carrier but given the evidence of previous users, they won't unlock and program it for their network because the likelihood of them being able to is slim to none.

Sims lock is usually done by the carrier and it is unlocked when it is paid off.
So what can I do in that case?

Whatever carrier the phone was originally purchased on has a lock on it. If the phone has been paid off with that carrier you should be able to contact them to have it unlocked. If it hasn't been paid off with the original carrier then the original purchaser of the phone needs to have that done.
Most carriers will not unlock the phone unless it's been paid off.

Open a case with PayPal and eBay and get your money back. It's either a phone that hasn't been paid off yet, or a stolen phone.

I tried that, but ebay won't let me return it because of "as is " condition of the phone... What can i do? There's no way to unlock it and use it in my country? Dominican Republic.
If the device wasn't paid off then it's fraud and they will make good. There was / is a thread here about selling a device that wasn't paid off in full. Well this is what happens if you do sell or buy one in that state. Maybe you can call the carrier and ask if it's paid off. If it is they will unlock it for you.

Ebay has a 30 day money back guarantee to protect the buyer. I've used this a few times, and they always get me my money back! Unless your past the 30 days, then you can file a paypal claim.
I have the same issue. It's a Google issue from what I hear. I got my unlocked new pixel 4 right from Google. Put in my ATT sim and it said "sim isn't supported, contact xfinity". Hahaha..
so I contact them and they send me a new phone. Same thing. This is a very new issue and I finally found someone asked the same question on Google assistance and it was said it was a google issue and they are trying to fix it.
What a crock... I can't believe Google's own phones don't work as they should.
Rest assured, its most likely not a stolen phone, or unpaid. It's a Google problem.

Are you kidding? Ok, rereading I see what you are saying. But they must have given you a reason as to why your sim doesn't work. Where are you located?
I didn't say Google sent me a stolen phone. Re-read the post and the link. It appears to be a Google software issue.
Have you personally experienced the problem? I have, as have others in the link I posted and the OP.

Post edited above. This is not a Google problem, imo. Where did you buy the device and which version. Perhaps you bought a Verizon model like some of the posters in the thread you linked to? This is not a known issue so you folks are doing something wrong whether it's buying the wrong device or your carrier doesn't support the phone. But it's really up to you at this point to figure out where you have gone awry.
