my 3g network wont work :( - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello:
I've done some searching and I cant find the answer, so excuse my post.
I am living in Shanghai, China and I have a 3G sim card with China Unicom (wcdma). I tried using my 3G sim on my Asus P565 and it is able to connect to the 3G network BUT when I put it into my Tmobile G1, my 3G network cannot be accessed (as a matter of fact, i dont think I can even access my 2G data network).
My phone specs are:
black tmobile g1
Latest radio installed
HardSPL
cyanogen 1.4 recovery
tried using cyanogen 4.2.6 rom
tried using TheOfficial AOSP-1.6_r1.4 DRD20 (Donut) v2.3.2
Is this a rom problem? am I skipping something? is 3G even supported on these modded roms?
Please help! Thank you.

This seems to be related to your APN settings.
Check that your APN is defined correctly in your G1 (copy definitions from you Asus P565).

Im not sure what you are talking about. Shouldnt the 3G network be working automatically just like the regular 2G network? At least thats how it works with all other 3G phones.
I dont see how I would need to set up APN. I could be mistaken though...

Did the 3G work before you flashed roms?
It might be a network compatibility issue like AT&T, I don't have 3G either haha.
Quick Google turned these up
APN = uninet
user = guest
pass = guest

I did not try using my 3G sim before flashing. I flashed right after getting the phone.
I tried a couple of APN settings already with no luck, but i am starting to believe that is the root of the problem.
Any other input is appreciated... this problem is really bothering me.

Roaming

Hi,
Have a big problem in that whenever I put a rom on my new Tilt 2 (which I am running on the new HSPA Bell network). My phone thinks it is roaming.
This is a real pain and I can't seem to find away around the problem.
Please can somebody think of something I might be missing?
Thanks!!

Are you sure its roaming and not mistaken the icon for something else? Also, if you are indeed roaming, which network is it? AFAIK, in ON, there's only 2 HSPA network Rogers/Fido or Bell/Telus. Who is your provider?

So I have the icon telling me that I am roaming and all the application warn me before they download data that I am roaming as well (which is a right pain!!).
I am on the new Bell HSPA network.
Any ideas?
roaming..
ok .. this is my experience about this problem ..
first my home base is Netherlands ! and im using Telfort network on my nokia .. buat the last 3 year .. Telfort using KPN Network .. if you turn ON the phone .. it will display Telfort .. but a few second it will change to KPN ...
maybe.. your operator also using another network...
if I put my Telfort sim to TP2 it will display Telfort but with with ROAMING icon !!!

Bell have their own network here so I dont think that could be the problem. I also have a Omnia 2 and an Iphone 3Gs that dont have this problem.
Also just tried to manually join the Rogers network and as I thought it would not let me connect.
It is only on the tilt2 after I flashed a new ROM onto it.
Thanks for the idea though.
Anybody else?

EDIT: read this first and then try the following suggestion
Try setting in the TP2 band selection to only HSPA and see what happens. Since bell has no GSM, and if your phone is set to 2G mode only, it's falling back on Rogers/Fido, hence, the roaming.
Start>>Settings>>Personal>>Phone>> Goto "Band" tab>>Set the GSM/UMTS band to "GSM (1900+850) + UMTS(1900+850).
Play around with the Network type by switching to GSM only or CDMA or leave it on Auto.
FYI Rogers/Fido and Bell/Telus HSPA network runs on 850/1900 band.
Food for thought....
Also another thing to consider, considering that Bell/Telus HSPA network is new, I thought i read somewhere you have to get your device "added" to their new HSPA system. Right now, only new sign-up's gets on the new HSPA network. In other words, your phone is trying to get on Bell HSPA network, but Bell rejects it since it's not in their system, so your phone hop's onto next on the list, either roaming on Rogers HSPA or Rogers GSM.
P.S: You might find better response over here

Thanks for the detailed response.
I dont think I am on the Rogers network as I get the Bell operator logo appear and the phone stays on 3G (as I cant drop to Edge because Bell dont have it on their network).
Also checking my online billing from the past few days I would expect to see some nasty roaming charges which I dont have.
Finally I also have a Jailbroken Iphone and that works on the network fine without any problems.
Its just very weird!!
Just tried to connect to the Rogers network manually and it will not let me connect. So it must be something wierd on the device.
Oh, it does show Bell operator logo. I thought the phone was registering on another entwork other than Bell.
Hmm, since you are not incuring roaming charges, only thing I can think of, is the network list that comes within the ROM classifies Bell as CDMA and not updated to reflect it supports HSPA. So it reads the network id as Bell and network type as HSPA and thinks its roaming? I dunno, i could be wrong lol! ::shrugs::

Make sense to me
I guess I can live with it if I need to. Does anybody know of a way to force the device not to flag any messages about roaming?
At least that will make it less annoying.

No 3G Network with I9000XWJG5

Hey,
i flashed the I9000XWJG5 Firmware and now i do not get 3g to work. I used an o2 UK Sim and do net get a data connection (before it was always 3g) and no 3g connection with orange too, just gprs.
Has anyone an idea, what i can do?
--- update ---
also only o2 uk sim is edge where before was 3g.
Made a test with my htc hero (Villainrom 12), same place, same sim card and i got 3g.
and 'only 2g' is NOT activated on the samsung galaxy s
You need to configure your mobile operators' APNs.
it is configured properly. so settings are correct. i am not the only one with the problem. i read it on various threads but couldnt find a post with the solution so far.

You're holding it... wait, no, just manually re-enter the APN settings, because flashing firmware will wipe them out. also try factory reset, if that won't help.
3g will popup immediately when you have put in the correct APN settings. Trust me.

As i said with an htc hero, same settings, it works, with the samsung galaxy it doesnt. so i can assume that the settings are correct
htc hero = 3g
samsung galaxy s = 2g
Could it be you are roaming (you see an R with the reception bars). By default it will not use 3G when roaming. You can turn it on in settings. I have a Dutch Telfort sim and KPN took over Telfort. So i am on the KPN network now and my phone always thinks i am roaming.

payasyougo and i changed the the user to payandgo.o2.co.uk also user to payandgo.
works fine in htc hero with 3g, not on samsung galaxy, just 2g
Flashed another Code(CODE_I9000XWJFF) and radio(MODEM_I9000XXJF8.tar) and 3g worked again.
then tried just flash the code (CODE_I9000XWJG5) and it still works. so i guess the radio (MODEM_I9000XXJG1) does not work for my samsung galaxy s properly
when i look now in the settings of 'about phone' i see
baseband version I9000XXJF8 and
Build Number ECLAIR.XWJG5
Does anyone think i will have a problem with that combination?

Why im Roaming with AT&T phone + BELL / TELUS SIM

Hi,
I would like to be able to modify my AT&T radio and change the default Mobile Network Code for my carier, is there any software to make easy to modify the ROM file ?
Thank
I'm not quite sure I understand what you're asking, but a radio will work on various different networks, depending on which SIM card you have in the phone. So I'm not sure that it's in the radio that you need to look.
What is it that you're trying to achive exactly, why do you want to change this code ?
Well, here is my problem;
I bought a Tilt 2 on ebay, and I also get an Unlock code for it. I have inserted my Bell SIM and the phone work correctly. I have configured the APN setting correctly and now I have internet without any problem.
The only bad thing is that the phone always think i'm in roaming, but that's not true. I have to deactivate all setting about roaming check, it's not a big thing but If I got to USA I will be charged for real roaming. and another downside is that many application pup info about roaming and data charge.
I'm searching since couple days to found a solution, and I'm pretty there is one but I have not enough knowledge on programming stuff. I've look all every registry in my phone and no one can't correct this ''roaming'' situation.
That's why im turning to Radio, since this phone is an AT&T, it's propbably seaching to compare SIM network provided and ROM network. I've found an interesting site about MMC/MNC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Network_Code
and found that the default network for AT&T is 310-410. Here in Canada We have bell and telus that use same technology then AT&T (UMTS 850 / UMTS 1900).
I would like to change the default ''home'' network code to 302-880. because my Sim Provided IMSI is 302-610 (Bell).
So to make it short. I want to change the default ''HOME'' network 310-410 to 302-880 so the phone will not be in a roaming profile.
Hope that someone can help me, and I'm pretty sure many people will appreciate this fix.
Thank You.
I don't know much about this, but surely it's your SIM card that is providing this code ? Since I could buy an unlocked Tilt 2 and put my own SIM card in it, and use it fine here in the UK on a UK network.
I can't believe that your phone thinks it's roaming just because it's a Tilt 2.
Yes, I found in my registry ProvidedIMSI="302610" that is the SIM registred network 302610 Bell HSPA network. So my SIM is telling the phone to use this network, but there is something in the phone that say it's roaming and not a home network. and I need to find and change this.
I'm not the only one in this situation and i would like to find a fix.
i have no knowledge about this only thing i can think of at the moment is just change the current radio version and flash a new rom. the latest version for radio is
4.49.25.95
and is found here ------> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=549939
follow the right steps. [:d]
best of luck
Yes, I've updated the Radio to the latest version and still have the problem of ROAMING. i've try 2 old radio and always got the roaming icon.
Any other input will be accepted!!
Thanks

I read somewhere that roaming starts when you are out of your area code range.
But you can try this too
go to ------> setting ---> personal ------> phone -------> Network (in the bottom tabs)
In the network tab click Find Network and make sure it is the same network you are using.
Network selection should be "Automatic".
Now in next tab BAND
select network type to "GSM" and GSM/UMTS band to "Auto".
Try this and let me know if this work else i will ask somebody knowledgeable like Sir Phunkee

I've play with these setting and nothing seem to work.
But maybe I found something interesting.
I've just test the phone with a ROGERS SIM card and I get 3G signal and i'm NOT in roaming mode..
Now, What that mean ? Rogers 3G is UMTS/HSPA 850/1900MHz same as BELL.
Why it say Roaming when phone is connected to BELL with BELL Sim and not on ROGERS SIM??
Could someone help me with that ? fix, cab, anything ?
Thanks
rooming
Hi
I do not know think you want to do with your tilt 2
Why you don't do a hard SPL and install a cocked rom !! as energy
I am using a tilt purchased from AT&T without contract
I get a unlock cod from the internet then I do a hard SPL it and install the energy rom in, is work like a charm with Rogers, without any problem( only the gps wish I never try
Perhaps this is can resolve your problem you should try
thanks
Already done Cjoco My Tilt 2 is Unlocked and Hard-SPL with latest EnergyROM.
Like I said before, SIM ROGERS work like a charm in my phone, No roaming warning. but with BELL and TELUS SIM I get the Roaming notif but it's not true, Im connected to BELL and VOICE,DATA,etc. work #1.
People say that it work with ROGERS because this carrier have a fallback signal if 3G is not available, with BELL if I lose 3G signal my phone doesn't work.

then i think problem is with your sim card not with your phone. Just get your sim card replaced and i am sure the problem would be resolved.
the problem may be with his sim card, but im not sure replacing it will fix anythibng. im also with bell and have the same problem on my fuze.
bios2k, how old is your sim card?
bobzero My SIM card is 2 Week Old. so, i'm not sure it because my SIM is old.
I'll give a call at tech support @ BELL to see if they know why it doing this. I'm not sure if they will be enough good to explain this situation.
I've read last night on many forums the RILPHONE.DLL could be a possible cause of our problem.
In my config I can select GSM(850,1700) + UMTS(850,1700) but there is no option to select UMTS only. so maybe the phone is searching for GSM first (rogers) that's why when I insert a ROGERS SIM my phone is not roaming.
Is there a way I can extract RILPHONE.DLL for our EnergyROM or Stock Tilt 2 rom. Maybe I can ask a Programmer to take a look at this DLL to see the code.
I'll let you know.
I've just talk with BELL technical support and they have no idea why I'm the phone say it's in ROAMING. I've talk to the billing department and they say I don't have any ROAMING fees, so nothing to worry about..
Now, I'm still at the same state = no solution
Same here.
I was checking around and found many got this problem, including BBs. Now, some claimed that after upgrading the O/S for his BB, it went away. Another person with different device upgraded his O/S and started having that problem, and it wasn't there with stock ROM.
Make me think it has to do with the software side of thing and nothing to do with SIM or radios. To pinpoint what is causing it, can be a tough task though.
scooper True, Hard task for people that don't know much about programming ROM and files, but maybe we can have help from other that wanna look at our problem.
I'm available to test if someone want to Help us .

You should try to change the radio and rom of your phone. Make sure to Task 29 b4 flashing. Another thing to make sure is you use the right radio, i mean the specific radio for telus, t-mobile or att.....
Wrong radio can also cause such problems.
I have the same issue with my Unlocked Tilt2 on Telus. I found a lot of people with unlocked winmo devices on bell/telus complaining of this problem and never have seen a solution. People say that a Fido sim will do the same thing. Only Rogers sims seem to not show roaming. PLEASE post if you find the solution or even cause of this.
I just did task29 and reflash ROM. I soon as I have the main menu Roaming Icon appear on top just beside or 3G.
Damn!! still stock with this roaming issue
anyone have Q's ?

[Q] Please help me, no 3g, then no data at all

I bought nexus one from my friend.
I am currently using HD2 with 3g data.
When I plugged in my sim card to the n1, it only worked with edge.
So, I seared internet for some information and I found out something about "*#*#6436#*#*" and change the setting to WCDMA only. Then the phone got no signal at all, so I changed back to WCDMA preferred. Then I did ping test but it did not seem to work very well.
Then I played with some APN setting and I realized that I lost data connection completely (phone still working)
I have tried to reset the phone but no luck.
Can anyone please help me with the problem? I am using T-mobile.
Thank you.
Pull your battery, and look at the back of your phone. At the top of the dark area there are numbers, look at the PB or FCC ID numbers. If they end in 9110 then you have an AT&T version of the phone, and the hardware will not work with T-Mobile's 3G service...

are you in the USA? you need to list your location. it is likely that you purchased the wrong version of the nexus one. there is an ATT version and a tmobile version. each only works with the proper 3G. so an ATT n1 on tmobile only gets edge, and vice versa. check which version you own.

b-mobile Chameleon SIM(Japan) on Droid4

I bought a b-mobile Chameleon SIM(Japan) at this trip and I want use it on My Droid4.
But I have tried any thing what I can do, it still can't get the data connection.
My Droid4 has flashed ICS leak 219 and the voice call and data connection work prefect in taiwan's GSM/UTMS SIM card.
I also modified the username/password at /system/etc/ppp/peers/pppd-ril.options but it still didn't work.
My milestone 3 can work correctly with b-mobile U300 SIM after mod /system/etc/ppp/peers/pppd-ril.options in previous trip.
I have tried 4 device and 6 system with Chameleon SIM, only one device and one system can get connection successfully.
This is devices list:
HTC HD2(WM6.5/ICS4.04)
HTC Sensation (2.36)
HTC Sensation XL(4.03)
Droid4 (ICS leak 219 4.04/hashcode's CM9)
Only HD2 with WM6.5 can get the connection,all the Android got fail result.
But the HD2's Wifi Tether only can work in adhoc mode(WM6.5).
My Droid4 can find my HD2, but HTC Sensation XL(4.03) didn't.
I also contact with b-mobile, they say the record shows that username or password error cause connection fail.
Does any PPP connection logs on Android?
I want to check which username/password my Droid4 use to make connection.
If anyone ever get connection successful with Chameleon SIM, please tell me which settings at your device.

This sounds very similar to the problem I'm having with Vodafone NL actually. But the major difference is that your problem occurs on all Android devices (except Milestone 3), and mine does not.
Do you also get the message "Sorry, this SIM is not supported. Please contact your wireless service provider" when you start or reboot the Droid 4? Or do you get a message like "unknown SIM"?
Do you have the username/password in both your APN settings and the pppd-ril.options file? Can you post the contents of the pppd-ril.options file here?
Also, which provider did you try in Taiwan? FarEasTone, Chungwa, Vibo? I hope Vibo works because that's my Taiwanese provider and I'll be back there later this year!

No,I have sold my milestone3 before this trip.
And I test "bmobile U300" with milestone3 in previous trip, not "bmobile chameleon SIM" in this trip.
The U300 is 3G SIM, Chameleon SIM is 4G.(but the manual said it can support 3G/UTMS)
I didn't see unknown SIM message in CM9 and leak ICS.
My provider is Chungwa telecom.
I have tried set both APN settings and pppd-ril.options file or just in pppd-ril.options file.
It still can't get connection.
And I only modify the username and password in pppd-ril.options:
user [email protected]
password bmobile

And I test "bmobile U300" with milestone3 in previous trip, not "bmobile chameleon SIM" in this trip.
The U300 is 3G SIM, Chameleon SIM is 4G.(but the manual said it can support 3G/UTMS)
I didn't see unknown SIM message in CM9 and leak ICS.
My provider is Chungwa telecom.
I have tried set both APN settings and pppd-ril.options file or just in pppd-ril.options file.
It still can't get connection.
And I only modify the username and password in pppd-ril.options:
user [email protected]
password bmobile

Right now I have 2 ideas in mind:
Have you tried forcing the phone to UMTS? My Vibo SIM in Taiwan refuses any connection if I try running it in 2G, it's 3G exclusive. This Chameleon SIM could be 3G/4G only.
After some searching, I found that this Chameleon SIM possibly only supports UMTS on the 2100 MHz band: http://www.japanmobiletech.com/2012/05/b-mobile-amazon-lte-4g-data-sim.html. It is not exactly clear which UMTS bands are supported by the Droid 4. It looks like people expect the 2100 MHz band to be supported for UMTS though. Also you mention the same problem on your HD2 except when WM6.5 is installed, so that doesn't point to a hardware issue for the HD2. But for the Droid 4, it still could be.
I found a related thread (with no replies yet) about this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1704264
If only 1 out of your 6 configurations can get a connection, it looks to me more like something wrong with the SIM card / provider settings than with the actual phones. But I can't really find more information online because I don't understand Japanese
Have you tried changing PAP/CHAP settings? That did it for me. Had to manually set encryption to CHAP (I think PAP is default). Otherwise no connection. Also had to type "default" for internet type connection.

I forgot to say something:
At previous trip, the U300 SIM can get data connection with all device:
HTC HD2(WM6.5)
HTC Sensation (2.36)
HTC Sensation XL(2.36)
Milestone 3(2.36)
With the same settings, all Android system fail to get connection in this time.
I can see the NTT DOCOMO network shows in my Droid4(CM9), but it can't get connection.
So I think my Droid4 has successfully register to NTT's network, but fail to make data connection.
It maybe something different in 3G and 4G 's data connection certification.
I think the problem is:What username and password Android sent to NTT in make connection process and how does NTT respond Android?
If there has detail logs in get connection process, maybe I cant find what problem is.
Does any APP can do this?

Thanks for your suggest, I set it to PAP or CHAP before.(Users manual said that)
I have tried "CHAP" and "default" after looking your suggest, but it still can't get connection.

Yes, but it shows a lot of other logging as well: you can download "aLogCat" from Google Play. It's a wrapper app around the built-in logcat command in Android, which can be used to show / filter the system log. I used this as well to investigate my data issue (but no luck). Hope you have better luck!
i got the same problem with bmobile - free data SUMAHO
i use this apn settings:
apn: bmobile.ne.jp
user: [email protected]
pass: bmobile
auth: pap or chap
when i check the log with logcat -b radio i get issues with USER_AUTHENTIFACTION and so one
i tried it with the stock-rom, cm 11 with and without GSM-fixes.
i can also get SMS and make phone calls, but data connection fails.
in my iphone 3gs the sim works fine.
are there any news or fixes?
maybe i can use another way to make a connection instead with the RIL-framework?
i actually got it working!
i install "PPP widget" and use this to connect :victory:
i use as (serial)port ttyUSB4
but i think its not the best way, but maybe the only possible
