PLEASE HELP!! cant connect to the network :(

Hey everyone ..
i was using my Blueangel normaly and so happy with it until i faced this problem before 2 days ..
I was texting my gf while i was out and kept on even though the battry gave me a warrny that its really low .. i ignored and kept SMS's her until it went off.
i went home charged my device but its not connecting to the network. it shows either "No Service" (where it shows X beside the signal tower) or "Searching" (where it shows ! beside the signal tower).
Please anyone knows how to turn it on im really in a bad situation here.
Note: just to let you know im using WM5 Hemi's rom and upgraded it today to Xplode's rom just hoping it would help.
Well when i tried another sim on my blueangel it worked and my sim card on another mobile it worked also. im really losing my brain
44 views no one have a slight idea..
anyways thanks alot everyone for visiting
Hi,
All I can suggest is to re-install radio rom! prob 1.15.
If not that then ensure flight mode is NOT active, and battery's fully charged
Also when you reset BA, on first screen does the R show a none?
If so reset, twice, its a common problem with BA and WM5, it isn't able to intialise the radio rom before WM5 boots.
It seems wierd that another sim worked on your BA, must be a faulty/damaged sim.
I also note you've tried the non-working sim on another phone and that works! Wierd that too!
Hope that helps,
Sunny
Have you tried to manually select the network in the "Phone" settings screen? I've heard of similiar problems being fixed by that.
well after i asked here and there and got disappointed with I-Mate people.. they know nothing at all
an IT in my company told me the problem is with my sim card. its damaged cause of the change in the battry power (as he says) it damaged the frequency that my mobile use to read the sim so there for it would work on any mobile except mine.
so i would change the sim but it needs me ages to get free and do that.
THANKS ALOT TO EVERYONE ATLEAST READ MY THREAD OR TRIED TO HELP
YOU GUYS HERE ARE THE BEST
By the way
sunny: the Radio is already 1.15 from ages. but thanks alot for trying to help me.
Fraser: I tried to manualy select the network but it says there is no network which is funny cause there is 4 networks in my area.. actuly im working with the same operator so im inside the tower LOL. the signal streth is the best here.
Thanks alot mates
No problem!
Thats what we're here for!
Regards
Same problem
I once had the same problem. Now I'm no genius when it comes to these phones and it actually took me a whole week to get an idea of what the hell happened to my phone. Basically, these phones are Quad Band (GSM 850/900/1800/1900) and for some reason after I upgraded I lost my signal. I found a little application that let me reselect my band (its not built into windows for some reason) and that solved my problem. I just selected "Auto select" and the problem was solved after a soft reset.
Now, I can not remember what that application was but maybe that can give you an idea of what to search for.
No Service issue

Hi, is there more 'democratic' way to resolve this issue than reseting BA twice?
After installation of xplode's R4 for noobs an old version of R 1.06 was left on BA. Thinking that this was a reason for No Service of the phone I dumped latest R , but double f..reseting necessity still persists ...
Is that a normal thing to reset twice such an advanced device when you want even just to call smbdy? Thanks
there is a lil bug in my roms, after totally draining both bateries when you power it on it says NONE for radio you have to soft reset it again in order to work. I have never had a band selection problem but it is possible reason for this

Hi hi there! First of all please accept my deepest appreciation for such a great work you have done to make us - PPC ordinary users - little bit more happy Just one small note - is it possible to upgrade your downlodable R4 file with all necessary ROMs - Radio, etc., etc. With the intention that every Noob trying to upgrade his/her BA, should do it in a push of one button - not searching for separate latest ROMs and HowTo instructions? Thanks for your time!
P.s. Sorry it seems came out little bit off topic....
well it is possible but i have no time to do it. or you can try to copy the radio nbf file into the folder of the nk.nbf and run the upgrade utility
Any solution on this matter ? I am using Helmi MW6 ROM with radio 1.15.00 and i'm having the same problem.
I've searched the forum but found no solution yet.

Destinator crashes if phone is ON !

Hi,
I`m facing this weird situation: Destinator (7.0.0.588.11) does not load if phone is on, after the splash screen it just closes (leaving a bar near the battery icon).
I'm using Dutty's WM6.1 Hybrid v2 5.2.19716/5.2.19700 (radio 1.65.14.06) but this problem also happened before with OEM 6.0 ROM.
If I turn phone off, Destinator loads fine.... It worked for weeks, but now I just cannot use Destinator...
Any clues ?
I have a similar problem with Garmin Mobile XT
It doesn't load if GPRS/EDGE is configured
try just removing any GPRS/EDGE connection and loading it
if it works, you have the same problem as me
but I didn't find any solution yet
Yes, runs ok with gsm off, even if I reinstall it would not run with phone on....
I'm having the same issues, but turning the phone off solves as you mentioned. At least there is some solution!
Do you guys think a radio downgrade would solve this issue ?

hm, that's a good idea
please let us know if you try that and it works
IGO my way 2006
It`s also happening with iGO my way plus 2006. Any ideas ?
Changed ROM but still crashing...
I'm now using L26 V9 but the problem persists. I think Destinator freezes when loading GPS, because yellow led does not blink at this time.
If I turn phone off, Destinator works fine...Any ideas ?
I just found the solution: Just delete SMSModule.dll in DestinatorApps/Destinator and it should work.

Destinator PN and AT&T Tilt
I have to say that I had been struggling with this program shutting down on my Tilt since 9/09, after having worked for more than a year. I resorted to using an old handheld device to navigate to new destinations while driving, something I do regularly as a social worker. And finally today, after doing much searching on the Internet and attempting different fixes, it appears the solution of deleting sms file is the answer. Thank you very much.

Seriously, marry me
I've given up using Destinator for months because I couldn't figure out what the hell was wrong and I installed iGo instead (which I don't like much).
THANKS MAN!!!

dod you align your screen properly? Try to realign it and soft reset and then check again
jaszek, did you even bother reading the post?
uglynip - That's a really weird problem... I have not seen it on my Fuze.
hey uglynip- interesting problem you have there, i know you said you tried a bunch of differens roms; I'm just wondering if this problem is happening right after a fresh hard reset (before any programs, cabs, tweeks have been applied)?
it only happens when i use any GPS stuff, like igo8, tomotom, navman, garmin, etc, and any other GPS test stuff that the cooks normally put into their roms.... it so weird,, i also tried calling HTC and told them about my problem and they said they have never heard of it b4..i really need to use my gps stuff on this phone cause im going overseas to 4 different countries next month....so i guess no 1 else has this problem... dammmmm...it
Hi uglynip1980,
Just watched the video ... seems to me like you may need to take a least-to-many approach. If you have the patience, I would suggest:
Flashing to the Stock HTC ROM image (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Raphael_WM6.1_ROMs) - 5.05.405.1, 1.11.25.01, 52.58.25.30, 20764, 1.4.3
Install only one GPS application that exhibits the problem and test
Everything ok?
Leave the unit on for a couple of hours; try the GPS again start/exit a few times.
Everything still ok?
Points to something in the cooked ROM or add-on application. Since add-on applications are the next easiest to test, install and Reset one of your add-on application and confirm functionality. This should help reveal which add-on is incompatible with the GPS.
Now if all the add-on applications test fine, pull down and flash a ROM you haven't tested yet. Alternatively, you can download Da_G's Simple ROM Kitchen and cook your own if you feel up to it.
Same Problem?
Hardware related; possible that initialization of the GPS radio is causing and issue. Would suggest returning the device for warranty repairs.
HTH,
PS: You may want to update the Subject Line Text of this post to in case others with GPS/device troubleshooting experience are looking.

GPS problem!

Hey everyone!
I just got back my Diamond from repair because of the display oil patch (got a new one). Well, I tried to acticate the GPS but I don´t get a signal. Tried everything I found in this forum to solve the problem: aGps enabled/disabled, Quick GPS, HTC GPS Tool, tried many roms and radios..., etc
When I start the HTC GPS tool, i don´t even get those red dots (satellites). What do you guys think, is it broken or anyone another idea?
Thanks alot
Same problem
hi,
I've sent my diamond to a authorized rapair center once because of a boot problem.
When i got it back everything seems to work fine again.. but the next day i tryed to use Tomtom and it didn't work..
After that i'v been searching on the net, trying to solve my problem.
I've downloaded many programs but couldn't find out what the problem was.
After a month of irritating that the gps didn't work, i send it back to the repair center and waited for 1,5 week. When i got it back, everyting worked fine. I think it was a hardware problem because they didn't instal a fresh rom or anything.
I'm not saying that you have to sent it back right away, but consider it could be the same "thing" i had.
It could save you a lot of time searching, downloading programms, or what ever..
The most usefull program i used to see if it worked or not was: VisualGPSce

Goodluck with it!

Hi,ok let´s see, like you ive had the same problem, just when i was using any gps navigator the phone suddendly stopped and that was sucking me a lot so after that i started to think what could be the problem, and at the end after a lot of time i found where was the problem and what was the solution. To find the solution i decided to hard reset the new rom with which all my gps problems started, and following the instalation steps of all programs and configurations i found the problem and this was related with the quick gps, before using this program to upgrade my gps location my mobile was runing tomtom and others without freezing, but after upgrade the gps location with the quick gps my mobile started to freeze. So this is the problem, just do this try to hard-reset and install eveything but dont, i repeat dont !!use the quick gps or this will freeze your phone again. Following this step your phone will run the gps navigators without the freeze problem
Then men after this try to do this and let me know (PLEAE) if your problem still remain ok? see u and hope you can solve this problem like me.

Yet more info from the same thread:
My temporary solution:
1.
Erase QuickGPS data. Simply delete 2 files: Temp\xtra.bin and Windows\xtra.bin
2.
Soft Reset phone.

it works!!!!
I deleted the 2 files and now the device doesn't freeze any more.
thank you a lot
Well, thanks to all the guys in the other topic, especially Motaba who got this right and saved our GPS'
Mine wasn't working as well and I Google Sited xda-developers and found it so all the credits to the other guys!
