Have finally moved over to the Dark Side (GSM) and modified my Sprint Note 2 to GSM (using Verizon Note 2's sim tray and midframe, accompanied by carrier unlock). Seems to be working fine so far.

Updated to KitKat (4.4.2) using a stock-ish custom ROM from XDA, running fine so far (data and hotspot working out of the box). Also wondering if anyone has an idea about which baseband/modem version works best with Reliance CDMA in India for best reception (ranging from LJ1 to NE2)?

You can go to this WW and contact Amit Jain who is a fellow Rimwebian too Amit Jain | Ashoka Enterprises Reliance Mobile Store | RMS D-1, Lal Quarters, Krishna Nagar Opp. Chhachhi Building, Delhi New Delhi - 110051. Managed to sort out the issue by visiting another RW (and also got help from kind forum member Shreesh), thanks for the information though - may prove useful for someone else in a similar situation as mine.

Yes sir! It (the Note 2 is on Reliance CDMA indeed). Thanks so much for the information and tip on how to fix it. @ankitdaluka: Thank you too for the app tip, shall try it out and ping you if having any difficulty.

I have a slight issue (more of an annoyance) using the Sprint GN 2: When dialing any number in international dialing format (with +91 prefix) I get a message "Please check the number you have dialed" and the number is not connected. But when i remove the +91 prefix the numbers connect without any problem. Any fix for this - its kinda annoying since I share my phonebook (Google) among 2 phones (ip5 & GN2) and all the numbers are saved in international format...

I was having the same issue on 4.1.2 (a few posts above). Updated to 4.3 and the multimedia option appeared on that menu.

Would appreciate if you can link the app here, a Play Store search throws many hotspot apps. EDIT: Got wifi hotspot working on Note 2 by installing a De-odexed stock rom (with built in hotspot hack) from XDAdevs:

Updated to 4.3 through zip (knox-free) available at XDAdevs (didn't receive any OTA notification), seems to be working fine so far. EDIT: Was also able to sort this issue after updating to 4.3 (Multimedia option appeared and proxy changed to 0.0.0.0)

Facing the Youtube issue (as Javed has mentioned), i tried doing what DK and Doc have suggested but i see no Multimedia option under the 'Others' menu (in ##3282# menu). Am using a Sprint note 2, any pointers?

Biggest issue is getting the RW people to raise a service request! In my case i have visited 2 different RW stores in past 3 days and its the same story everywhere - they are either too ignorant or not knowledgable about EVDO activation...

I am also facing the same problem... @Vahid: were you able to resolve the issue? If yes, please share the experience.

I have also changed from RUIM to an non-sim Note 2, and facing the same issue as Parth, hope my visit to Relaince World store pays some dividend. OR Any senior members or gurus (with contacts at reliance) who can help us (Parth & myself) out of this soup? Any help shall be greatly appreciated! All of you know how ignorant and clueless most reliance store executives are... EDIT: As expected, a visit to Reliance World NOIDA store had no results, they kept harping that EVDO is handset dependent and there is no option to deactivate them from their end... PS - Always had a bad experience at the NOIDA Reliance store. Any other RW in Delhi area where the executives are better informed (or open to solving problems instead of passing on the buck)?

Thanks for the suggestion Mr. Rao, but I have already purchased a new number today, waiting for it to get activated. Regards.

No solution or communication at all from Rcom regarding this issue till now - despite lodging 2 reminders at PGPORTAL website. Have decided to abandon the old number and buying a new prepaid number.

No development with respect to the solution of this issue so far - absolutely no contact from Reliance side, and no change in status. Thinking of just buying another reliance prepaid number move on...

Thanks for the suggestion, will certainly ask them when I am contacted again. But as far as i remember - data wasn't working in 1x mode either (before i got evdo activated, at that time i thought that it will work if EVDO gets activated). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATE: 29/08/2013 - No further contact or communication from Reliance side since Sep 26, issue still remians unresolved. With Deepak's update, i have almost lost hope of getting my issue resolved too...

That's very disappointing and sad to know! Now I have slim hope of getting my issue resolved...

@ GTX470: I will keep this thread updated with any developments. Really frustrating to see Reliance not taking proper care of paying customers... I might port out (as the last resort) if this issue is not resolved. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATE 1: 24/08/2013, 16:45 - Received a generic email from email customer care requesting some information I had already included in my initial email, sent info again as requested - waiting to hear from them since. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATE: 2 26/08/2013, 17:34 - I received a call from 022-30326200 just now and the person on other end has assured to escalate this issue to the technical team (the caller gave reference to my complaint at PGPORTAL). Keeping my fingers crossed.

I wish to amend the above statement of mine - turns out that it wasn't the fault of handset for data/internet not working. My Reliance CDMA prepaid number has some unknown issue with data, other reliance prepaid numbers work fine on the handset for internet.

I have exactly the same problem as described in the OP - not able to use data/internet (even 1x mode) on a specific Reliance CDMA prepaid OMH SIM (can use other numbers SIM just fine) and have been running from pillar to post (read CC to RW) but to no avail. Have now finally sent an email to Reliance Delhi appellate authority and PGPORTAL. Lets see how this pans out, will keep you guys updated of the progress. In the meanwhile, any help regarding the solution of this issue is appreciated.

Were you finally able to solve this issue Deepak? I am facing exactly the same issue and would appreciate if you can share the solution (if any).

This phone seems to be ZTE N 790 and is now available in ebay unlocked http://www.ebay.in/itm/UNLOCKED-MTS-DUET-ZTE-N790-GSM-CDMA-MOBILE-WITH-3-2MP-1GHZ-GPS-ANDROID-2-3-/251296298380?pt=IN_Mobile_Phones&hash=item3a826d358c TCL D662 and TCL D515 seems to be CDMA+GSM android handsets but unable to read chinese from TCL website The unlocked handset works ok with Reliance Voice/SMS but am unable to get internet working on it (not even 1x works).

Thanks for moving my post to appropriate thread. The problem is - at the moment, it seems that the ZTE N790 is unrootable (I tried rooting it using SRS One Click Root but all the exploits failed). Any other ideas? Infact, I can easily create and save additional APNs other than two MTS ones (internet & MMS) which are already present on the phone and can't be edited or deleted. IMHO at the moment i'm not even sure if internet is activated on my number... EDIT: This is the SIM I have:

Hello All I have recently purchased an unlocked MTS ZTE N790 and intend to use it on Reliance CDMA network. I have a prepaid connection (Delhi) and also have a OMH RUIM. So far, It is working well for voice calls and sms but I have not been able to get internet working on the handset at all (not even in 1x mode, leave aside EVDO). I recharged with Rs.94 STV and also configured an APN for reliance (#777, username: my number, pw: my number) but the browser is unable to open any webpage. I also tried substituting 'net' in place of my number in apn settings but it hasn't helped. I called customer care and they told me that everything is fine at their end! Am really at loss on how to move ahead on this issue. Any help shall be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
