Sounds like it could be SIM locked to a particular carrier, or maybe there is a hardware issue with the antenna.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddamian67:
If the phone is sim card locked would the phone pormpt me to enter the code?

this phone does not prompt for anything whather is the ATT or the T-mobile sim card.

see video.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
SIM locked to a network. Meaning only a SIM from a particular network will work. Not a SIM PIN.

EDIT to add: also check your IMEI. Is it 004999010640000 or something else? (DON'T post what it actually is if it is something else...)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddamian67:
OK i found by the firmware version on my GT-9100 that is for Trindad and tobago,

So my questions is wich frimware will work in the USA wiht ATT or T-mobile, Anyone using this phone ins the uS wiht no issues please tel me what firmware version your phone has.

My I9100 has: fIRMmware: PDA:LPE/PHONE:LPE/CSC:LPE (TTT)

Wich according to this tread the frimware is from Trinida and Tobago

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
I have baseband xxki4.

I should note to you (again) that regardless of what baseband you flash to the phone, and if you do end up getting signal, you won't get better than Edge speeds on T-mobile USA's network.

As for what firmware works on which network: it doesn't matter. All of them will work, but some basebands/modems will work BETTER than others, but they should all get at least SOME signal.

Also, there's one more possibility. The phone's IMEI may actually be blacklisted. Check with your carrier on that.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GetPatriotized:
Everytime the phone boots after I root it gets stuck at setup screen(but not showing anything!) I can pull down the notification and go into provider settings but that's it.

I'ved tried SuperOneClick and zergrush via CMD and still nothing. Tried all .ftfs I have (.42,.58 and .62) enabled both Unknown Sources and USB Debugging.

What I am doing wrong? This is the first time I've encountered this and I've been flashing for a couple of months now.

You guys think the next Google phone will have 2GB of RAM? LG just announce their new phone and it has 2GB of ram 0_o man are they crazy? Lol

http://goo.gl/ANrQ8
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonderboi_005:
My galaxy note always consumes not less than 650MB even though I always kill game apps but I don't want to always kill apps. So yes, 2GB is a big plus and would be necessary especially for hardcore users.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ceejay83:
Yes most likely. games and apps will get better and need better hardware
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Sure. Why not include it if the price of the phones will be the same price?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prinzhernan:
More ram is always good. I'd never encountered a situation where it isn't (desktop). Besides, ram is cheap and if it won't hurt the price I'd take it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
I dont understand why...I barely use up 1GB and thats just becoming a Standard. I'd think the Dec. '13 Nexus might have it. Definitely not in 2012 though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt30:
Depends on how hard core you're muti-tasking. I can easily hit the 2GB limit if I'm multitasking like crazy (i.e. swtiching between XDA, the web, another forum app, gmail, music, youtube, twitter, google currents, all within a matter of minutes).

Android is so seamless though that I rarely recognize when an app has been closed down.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jgalan14:
But couldn't android be more optimize instead? I mean no even Google uses that much ram for their device( and I don't think they will this year) and what's up with quad core ? You think that's necessary ? I haven't rooted my galaxy nexus cause I will go crazy flashing rooms like before but stock feels fast without lag with a duel core
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Why does it matter if a phone has 2GB or 3GB of RAM?

Computers... who needs 16GB of RAM? who needs 32GB of RAM?

.... we can because we can. More RAM the better, especially if it's at the SAME PRICE. This is innovation. As Android advances, it'll definitely be using more RAM. So why complain if a manufacturer will give you more RAM?

Makes no sense. It doesn't matter if it's necessary or not. That's like saying, are quad cores necessary on phones / tablets? Not really, is it nice to have? hell yeah. This the basic fundamentals of innovation and competition.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alias3800:
Lol is it necessary? It isn't necessary, but god knows Android can use all the help it can get before any further optimization. Plus, what the poster said before me - why not?

Damn, what a drag it is to be able multitask more. Sucks having that choice.

The voltage draw on 2gb of ram would be crazy. Battery life will suffer

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rmcsc:
I say the next one will have 1.5GB, not more.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
Exactly why 1GB has been the standard...anything more and expect a huge impact on battery

Would it be nice to have a quad core phone with 2GB ram? Sure...would it be nice to have about 1 hour on screen time or less? I don't think so...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
That's like saying NVIDIA Tegra 3's Quad-Core will use more processing power.

It's obvious that mAh batteries are kind of outdated and there needs to be something done with battery to improve its usage.

the 2GB ram could be ondemand RAM or something of that sort. all im saying is that, hardware should not be limited due to battery usages. look at verizon, they're pumping out 4G LTE at the cost of battery life ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
EVERYONE!

Dalvik VM.

No need for 2GB of RAM. I totally forgot about that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sunilkumar.maharana:
2gb ram is itself not enough dude !!!!!!!!!!! and more over armv7 processors r not built for it yet........... any how if 2gb ram is allocated in the phone there must be compitent gigs ... to maintain it i guess 2.0ghz will be enough ..........its practically impossible till date to built phone with 2gb ram

---------- Post added at 11:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 AM ----------

yes u r correct the battery will drain faster than even u charge it before hand
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Virtual memory is not as efficient as physical memory (its slower).... but I do agree 2gb of ram is a little overboard... maybe for tablets with native ubuntu/linux booting, but not android.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
Necessary? No, probably not. Welcome? Yes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IanCoves:
Provided the battery life and device price don't suffer, the more ram the better.

"So much more ram for activities"

However I'm worried that if hardware innovation moves too fast then people won't know what's actually necessary to run Android with standard apps/games. If everyone is talking about 2GB of ram in Android devices people will think that 1GB or less won't be enough. Similar to how people started understating single core processors once dual core came out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikedyk43:
2GB of RAM is not needed to run android currently, however as the Android OS continues to progress you will probably see more of an effort to use Android phones as laptop replacements. Similar to the Webtop function of recent Motorola phones (which Google now owns) that set physical RAM aside strictly for use when being used as a laptop (docked). In this scenario it would be quite useful to have excess RAM to perform these additional functions.

Just like I am disappointed of the SIII having almost same hardware config as the current devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hkoutso:
Agreed. Wouldn't hurt though to have that quad core CPU ;) (actually mainly interested in the GPU)

Design wise I think the Galaxy Nexus clearly stands out!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
I'd rather see 256 megabytes of discrete gpu before >1gb of system ram. Bam!

let it be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dxtra:
The more ram! The better the apps! I think HTC sense needs it the most though. But yes I would welcome it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
That's a good point. Custom uis require more ram. I was checking the one x forum and one rom on the one x was 500+ mb based on sense.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rand4ll:
I think faster ram and especially storage would be worlds more beneficial at this point than just throwing more at it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
And how exactly would you get faster storage? you want ssds on phones now?

People using sense report that the ui is using 800mb of ram without any apps running. Also, the gpu takes portion out of ram.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
Not sure if you noticed but since you have one apparently, but the gnex has pretty darn fast internal storage, I copied about 9 GB of music at one point and it only took like 15-20 minutes
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
The gnex is kind of slow if you ask me. Not painfully slow or anything but the atrix internal and external storage runs circles around the nexus. I think the gnex transfers about 7-10 MBs which isn't too bad though.

let it be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] natious:
User error im guessing, my gnex is blazing, as well as my finances and hers is running under clocked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Motorola has always excelled with getting their devices great rw and io speeds (except Droid 1).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jgalan14:
I agree my Gnex is plenty fast I can't get any other phone to be as fast. and I feel it faster then my GS2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
User error? Try an atrix, or hell transferring files over usb3 and see how blazing the nexus is. And what does running underclocked have to do with speed of transferring files? Ovrrclocking will not make it any faster.

let it be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
I would take more ram over quad-core any day. I run multiple apps all the time because I use my devices for work, so a better multitasking experience would be highly welcomed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
You would be SO disappointed, but hey, whatever floats your boat :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Imagine the battery life suck for next to no gain.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leelaa:
I don't think it necessary BUT I would be happy with 2 gig. Are phones are meant to have 1 gig, but we only realty get 695 (I think), so if we get 2 gig, where really looking at about 1.6 maybe.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
Why? Im happy with my devices performance, but always feel that multitasking is inadequate. Is there something about having more ram that would cause me to regret it?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DirgeExtinction:
Well, LG just announced their newest smartphone with 2GB of ram.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
5 minutes on screen time lol...no seriously though you would see a big hit in the battery life... why else do you think even the highest end phones only have 1gb ram?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Google created Dalvik VM for a reason. Lets not forget that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Considering that Android handles ram very well, no. You won't regret more ram. You will regret the fallacy that more ram will be what speeds up your device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
I'm not looking to speed up my device. I'd just like it to hold apps in memory without killing the ones I'm actively using.

And regarding a comment about battery life. Did 256mb devices last 4x longer than 1gb devices? Prove to me that ram will destroy my battery life and I'll reconsider my comments.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Prove to me that more ram will help you multitask better, and I will reconsider mine :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
? Have you used an android device with 256mb and the 512mb and then a gig and then tried multitasking? I sold my last tablet with 512mb of RAM because it was useless for multitasking. The difference is quite clear.

Or see how the IPad one compares to the new IPad. You can't even open more than a few tabs in the browser on the IPad one without the app closing. Yes, ram is critical.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
And that one gb of ram of ram in the new iPad didn't really get bigger. It has a lot more devoted to the display.

let it be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Never fails that iOS makes it into an android discussion.

I'll bite. Many folks have argued that iOS multitasks better on this forum. On the iPhone 4s. That has 512mb of ram. So once again...prove it to me.

Diminishing returns...heard of it?

512 is much better than 256. 1gb, better than 512 but to a smaller degree. Notice a pattern?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
Clearly your needs are less than mine. I would benefit greatly from apps remaining in the memory for longer than it currently does.

I never suggested that ios is multitasking better in my comment, I was simply pointing out that RAM is quite valuable, even on a non android device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
Here, argue you case with a professional tech-review site over RAM and its benefits:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/5688/apple-ipad-2012-review/14
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalspring:
And again it begs the question why manufacturers haven't used more than 1gb before? Its been around quite awhile now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Thanks for that Apple article.

Relevant to Android...;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
This coming from the guy who had like...crappy battery life. Wonder why!

For reals...get a netbook or something if you need more power. It will be faster than a phone, and do more.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
sorry, do they make "android only" RAM that somehow provides a different use than RAM in ios?

Please contribute to the thread instead of being a jerk, it's really getting old when you feel that putting down someones opinion or ignoring their device needs makes you right in some way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] htc fan89:
Now we only need ddr3 ram lol its a good change
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Dude, seriously. Why you over here always metioning, comparing and linking apple products. Its obvious you're on the wrong platform or doing it wrong. If you need two gigs of ram, get something with two gigs of ram. Android would probably benefit more from discrete ram freeing up more of the system ram. Don't need professional tech review links to know that. But thanks for the link i didnt read battery and multitasking doesn't work guy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
Does it make you upset when I do? Don't you compare different cars in a car forum, or different brands of computers in a computer forum?

The topic is ram and if it would benefit Android. I made a comment that I would benefit from the extra ram and all of a sudden people got shaken up. What is that all about? Having more ram won't shrink anyone's penis, so why are you guys so intent on keeping your devices at 1gb? I'm curious.

Sent from my HP Touchpad running ICS :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Because android handles so well at 1gb. And you compare how apple does better with things you think are most important to you buuuuut youre still cluttering up android forums. Get the lg phone with 2 gigs of ram and see ya. Dont let us know how it goes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rand4ll:
The phone already uses solid state memory...lol... and could very well benefit from more speed there. Doing IO on any android device including my gnex slows any multitasking and other processes to a crawl. Swapping apps in and out of memory suffers more from them IO speed and scheduling than it does merely due to the fact it has to swap. I stand by my assertion that android would benefit more in usability and multitasking from faster storage than it would more ram. Of course a combination of the two would be even better but if I had one place to choose to improve it would most definitely be storage speeds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
do they make android memory management that somehow provides a different use than in ios? Fixed that for ya.

Yes, they do.

Also, the only jerk I see is the one making it personal. You have done this before though, so I expected it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
Are you suggesting that if Android had 2 or even 4 gb of RAM, it would still benefit the user to be super aggressive with app killing? That sounds like a design flaw if that's the case.

Sent from my HP Touchpad running ICS :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
^^^^^ I would like this also. But then again I can wait for it. To be a reasonable price and stable. The gnex does everything quite well and fast enough. More ram and faster storage isn't going to make us more productive from a phone or leap tall buildings in a single bound. That's what the phone and SMS is for.

let it be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msedek:
+ 1 why not? Cuz battery life... Unless they can come out with some kind of super battery that last at least 2 days on current hardware, having faster processor and more ram with the same batteries will only lead us to having a monster with poor battery life.

Its like having a car that gets up to 500 milles per hour but only can run 3 blocks lol

We all already complain about battery life on gnex and how we cant use the screen for more than 4 straight hours.. Now imagine this same phone with a quad processor and 2 gb ram.. It would last no more than 1 hour of screen xD

I remember those days when you showed off that your new Nokias battery would last 3 days with no charge compared to your old Motorola startack that the battery only last 2 days... Back then your could only think that batteries will last more and more... Reality its very different

On a side note if you could connect the GNex battery to your old nokia 5120, the screen time (no charge) would be over a month lmao
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kona786:
lol - crash and burnt. :p

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
Just following up. My note 2 has 2gb of ram and even when I under clock my cpu to something slower than two year old phones (to duplicate a crappy cpu with more ram, as per my original post earlier in the year), the extra ram is still very useful for multitasking. Blows the Galaxy Nexus out of the water. ... and I get 6-7h screen time even with heavy gaming at full cpu speeds.

So the fears of poor battery life or that 1gb is enough were bs then and remain bs now :p

IOS only needs 1 GB since it doesn't have true multitasking only for a few applications but Android does true multitasking so it is more like a PC and on a PC the more ram the better for good consistent speed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harlequix:
Surely 1gb ram should be enough for anybody *giggle*

na joking aside, as many already pointed out, why not. Apps and especially games are always hungry for more ram, and more ram is a cheap upgrade and should only have a small negative effect on power consumption.

The only reason against it, in my mind, that continuing just throwing more hardware instead of optimizing the existing apps, you leave older devices behind, e.g. older phones without dualcore cpus can't run 3.* android (might be 4.* as well)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bbrad:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Febby:
I'd love 2GB's of ram, hell, I'd like more than that! I use some applications that can be very heavy. Typically on my toroplus I have about 300 to 360MB of free ram with 1GB of ram on a fresh boot but of course using a google talk and a messenger and my daily dose of games does a good number.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] altimax98:
An OS with multitasking like windows or Android will always seek the best level of ram to run. If they put 4GB of ram I'd say after a while of usage Android would fill most of it. It'll allow faster multitasking and the ability to keep apps running in the background better. I have always felt that ram is more or a limiter then processor cores and Android doesn't have to be optimized to use more ram unlike the OS using more processor cores.
