Guest menno2 Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Hi folks, I had the t-mobile pulse for a year and now switched provider. I contacted t-mobile for the unlock code which in my country they are obliged to give after you contract period. They replied though that my phone was already unlocked. So I put in my simcard and yest it worked. Well.. partially. It keeps showing the R from roaming in the antenne graphic and it refuses to make a data connection even though the new providers' APN is correctly configured. I read about CM Mod disabling the provider check, and though that maybe therefore it wasnt really unlocked but just bypassed. I therefore installed a stock rom (Red Bull) and put in the chip again. Same thing, it doesnt request network code and it does work for calling. It does however show the same R of roaming and again refuses to make a data connection. Why does this stupid phone still thinks its roaming? And is this why it doenst connect its data connection? I did put in settings to roam data no matter what... help appreciated!

Guest Casterina Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Do you know for SURE that your phone is unlocked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest menno2 Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 I installed a stock rom, and it doesnt request a network password and my Telfort sim is working fine. All except a data connection. t -mobile also told me it was never locked ( I am in The Netherlands). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hunk74 Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 (edited) I installed a stock rom, and it doesnt request a network password and my Telfort sim is working fine. All except a data connection. t -mobile also told me it was never locked ( I am in The Netherlands). In the netherlands the T-mobile pulse is sold unlocked. At least mine was :-) I'm with tele2 now and when I insert their sim card into the pulse/Galaxy S the phone is automatically set to roaming. This is probably because tele2 doesn't have their own infrastructure and are piggybacking on T-mobile's (3G)network. Thus the roaming symbol.... PS: Had to configure the internet access point manually before I could connect to 3g. Usually this info should be available at the provider's site Worth double checking this.
