Hi everyone.
I have just purchased my first ever smartphone - a HTC MteoR. I can use it fine as a phone (voice/sms), but I cannot get it to connect to the internet. I've tried a few forums, followed the settings guide - but still no connection. I've come round to thinking that maybe its the fact that the sim card I'm using is ancient that could be the problem.
Any advice?
Thanks in advance!

I have posted this problem in Kaiser Upgrading but got only one reply that didnt work either, so posting here too, as i get very few views there, so assuming such problems are better put here... reposting it here.

Hi all!
My Tilt is having a weird problem, which started all of a sudden on 7th morning.
No matter how muchever i try, the phone radio does not connect to my Mobile Network. It keeps saying "searching....." till eternity.
I was using Dutty's V4 + 1.27.12.32 radio.
All was working fine till today early morning. Around 10 am i try to connect to gprs, and i am not able to, then i do a soft reset, and then i see that my phone cannot connect to my mobile network at all. My mobile network is AIRTEL, in India. The phone keeps saying "searching..." and never stops that and hence now i am not connected to my network.
I have flashed different radio roms since morning - .17, .11, .32 again but no luck. Then i reflashed it with Schaps latest 4.33 rom (wm6), but still no result.
Then i thought maybe my sim is bad, and so i put my wife's Vodafone sim, and that worked! (Vodafone works on a different band than Airtel. this i know coz i have a SonyEricsson Mobile handset 3g-enabled of "3" from australia which works only with Vodafone in India, and not with any other network)
Then i put my sim back and it doesnt work again. While my sim is working perfect in my wife's iPhone.
can someone please help me in this, and tell me what i can do?
i wonder if the phone is somehow network locked or something like that ?
i sure did HARDSPL when i first got the TILT one month back. I have also tried flashing with WM6.1 and its respective radios, but with no success.
Please suggest what can i do to get it back up. Its really strange as its been working perfect till morning 8am.
Thanks a lot guys!
I'd go get a new SIM card and test from there.
did you try checking the phone settings to see if anything there might be the cause of the problem? there is the ability to select/override band selection in the phone settings, along with other things you can try to change.
Thanks to you, Grizzley & Somynex...
1. I did get a new simcard and still its unsuccessful.
2. Yes i tried changing the phone settings for changing the BAND, and there seems to be a problem on one of the bands.
VODAFONE works on the 800 band in india. and AIRTEL works on the other one, which is not working...
any other solutions please???
!BUMP!
Anyone got any idea on this? Please help me guys! please advise me what i can do to get it back...
COuld it be a hardware related problem?
!BUMP!
Please help guys, still looking for a solution for this problem... my fone is lying dead like this!

Hey XDA users!
I have got a problem with my X1. I recently bought that mobile and tried to change firmware. Here is some basic information:
Sony Ericsson X1
originally branded by T-Mobile (DE)
without SIM-LOCK
I have used the T-Mobile-branded X1 with my Vodafone-SIM for about a week. I had no problems.
Then I decided to "install" firmware X1i_VFE_DE_CDF1215-0292_R2AA010 on it because I want to use some special features by Vodafone and hoped that they were included in that branded firmware. I carefully read this tutorial (link) and everything was fine. The "installation" was completed successfully.
But when I put the SIM card in it, my X1 is searching for a network operator (Vodafone DE) on and on without a result. I can neither call somebody nor use the internet.
I tried several other firmwares (non-branded too) but it's always the same: no network operator
I also tried my SIM in another mobile at the same place. It works perfectly well.
As I did not find anything via search function, please help me
UnixNator
maybe htc phones don't work with rather old sim cards
try getting a newer replacement

Why would it work here? I guess it's something software-based
I have the same problem but live in Sweden.
Does anyone know what could be wrong?
More data can be given, just ask what you want to know!
Hello everyone.
I'm beat. I was up to silly o'clock this morning trying to get this thing working.
I purchased to unlocker from this site as I have no posts. I've tried many different roms and radios but I still get no service when I plonk in my o2 sim card.
I have a touch HD that was registered to the orange network that I bought off a friend of mine. I wanted it to work with o2 so I downloaded the unlocker program (paid for) and did all the updating and unlocking that entails.
I then tried a few different roms (even tried win 6.5 but my battrey was getting drained at a silly rate)
The problem I have is that whichever radio I get it's not working with my O2 sim card. I have the little G symbol but it keeps asking for data connection setting and the phone is showing no service. I have even tried radios from other phones with no luck. I'm on the offical htc 1,56,401,0 (43972) WEE rom at the moment and the 1.12.25.16 radio and I'm also getting the greenscreen at the load up but a quick on off fixes that.
I searched the forums but still no joy.
What do I have to do?
Please, you are my only hope.
Thanks in advance.
Do you have the right SPL? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431217)
I used to be Orange, had it unlocked, and am now on o2 with no problems. I use 1.17 radio but I don't think that's the issue
Tried it just now.
Thanks for the advice.
Tried the HSPL Wrapper on that thread, updated the radio to 1.17 but it's still showing no service. Any other ideas?
Thanks again.
did you try put another sim card inside the phone?
I just have O2 cards atm. Still now joy though.
I am a failure.
I've just done a cracking stew in the slow cooker. First time making dumplins. I can rebuild and format a PC in less that two hours but this thing has got me beaten. I suppose I could use it for an e-book reader.
I've now got SPL-1.56.Olnex on there with the blackstonehenge Rom.
and 1.17.25.09 radio but it still won't connect.
If anyone has any better ideas I will make them some stew and dumplins. Geographical location allowing, and if the gf lets me have friends round.
Thanks anyways.

i think the OP said that they have bought this already
i used to be on orange, now on O2.
how old is the O2 simcard? i think this is the most likely cause
Yes, I already purchased the unlocker. I also tried a newer sim card that was a Christmas present. I'll nip out today and get a 99p sim card from another network. Any suggestions which would be best?
Works with vodaphone
Yes, it registers and works with a vodaphone simcard. It also works with t-mobile but I can't send or recive calls on that (mightbe a sim thing with a need to top up or something) But a new o2 PAYG sim card and my old one still bringing up no service.
Anyone got any suggestions about any manual settings I can do?
Cheers,
henshu

Your operator does have any rom for Touch HD on their site? If it does, try it and see if it works.
Also read this page, seems to be an O2 rom for Blackstone devices http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_Versions .
This page may be usefull too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=444170

Hi henshu. Have you tried checking your band settings. Make sure they all are set to Auto. Tap on phone then options then band.
Hello, my dear talent xda delevelpers,
I bought a T-mobile HD7 online few days ago, and i am using it in China now, the operator is China Mobile. I face some troubles these days, and i am searching the whole world but i can't get the answers, please help out.
1. How to identify HD7 is unlock or not? Then i know if i need to unlock it.
2. I could not get any date service (Wifi is not available for me), i am sure i input the correct APN but no data service in HTC HUB/marketplace/Emails, ect. Data connection of the same SIM card works on my old phone O2 Xdalli perfectly, but not on HD7. Is it because of not unlock or how can i get advance settings?
3. I heard that there is "CONNECTION SETUP" on other HD7s, but i cann't find it in marketplace or HTC webside, can somebody send me this app? maybe i can solve the data connection problem with it. Also, i want an "ATTENTIVE PHONE" app, please send me as well if you have.
4. My last question is, i got a T-mobile SIM card in the box, is it come along with any balance or package? Can I use it in China by roaming?
Waiting anxiously and really appreciate your help. Thank you so much.
1.Try putting your local sim-card ,if there is no network then yours is locked.
2.For data connection , I got HTC Connection Setup.
You can download it from Marketplace.(its under HTC apps)
Since you dont have Wi-fi I recommand you do this setup at your friends,Or at some internet center.
3.Sorry I dont think its currently possible to send over apps.You have to get it from Marketplace yourself.
4.As for the last question , hy dont you try using the T-Mo card and see what happens

Thank you so much fo your help
1. Yes i am using my local SIM and got good reception, calls and SMS works fine, is that mean i got HD7 unlock? How to identify lock or unlock?
2. Still i could not find connection setup from marketplace app. Under genres, there is "tools", and i rolled so many pages but i cant not find. I searched also, there is only an app named "student connection", do you have an address? or tell me how to find it?
3. I successfully make it prison break, haha
I will try my T mobile SIM later, and see what happens ：）
OK, I successfully flash ROM, the SingTel version:
RUU_Schubert_hTC_Asia_SEA_WWE_1.57.728.02_Radio_5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10_Signed
And there is "connection setup", hahaaaaaaaa, i got the GPRS data connection.
