Hello everyone
I got an HTC G1 which was a UK T-mobile one and that is now on a French network called virgin mobile.
I got all the correct APN entered
But I have no icon of a 3G network and trying to use web give me such messages as « a network error has occured » or « data connectivity problem ».
Use only 2G network is unchecked
In status I have:
Network: Orange F
Signal 63db
Mobile network type : UMTS
Service state: In service
Roaming: not roaming
Mobile network state: Disconnected
I think the problem comes from here I got the 1.6 firmware shall I put a French firmware?
It seems that some other people has such problems but I found no answers….
Any ideas?

I have just got the HTC Mteor but I can't get it to work with GPRS on orange PAYG or Contract. I saw some files on this forum but it won't let me run them on the phone. Can anyone help me set it up please?
sorry to havent answerd your question in other thread...
when this from my post don't works:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1244877&postcount=8
just google for the correct settings from your provider!!
or just call them that they say you the settings!!
also my provider has a map on his webpage where i can check what coverage is available in my location!!
also when you see the 3g symbol in top bar you are in a 3g location!
maybe you must have a special contract with your provider to start connections in 3g area?!
just try to set bandwidch to GSM (means only GPRS/EDGE) and test the connection!!
if this works your provider maybe have lock if you haven't a special "3g Contract"
I tried to contact Orange but they didn't have this phone on their list and then they gave me some settings that didn't work?
I don't think this phone works on 3G actually. I know it has GPRS covergae because there is always a letter "G" on the top of the screen. If anyone else has this phone on Orange then can you let me know what setting you are using please.
when your provider supports 3g then your phone have no problems!!!
UMTS is supported by mteor from factory out!!
HSDPA Supports is added with actuell Shipped ROM !!!
when you only have the G icon it means you have only configured (in bandwitch selection gsm) or your network coverage has only GPRS available!!
just check the settings under settings/phone/bandwitch(?!)
there are 2 lines first band: 1. AUto 2. GSM 3. WCDMA (=3g, hsdpa)
2nd is the region... should normaly be on auto...
I just checked the setting that you mentioned and it was set to auto on both options. I tried setting to the 3G and it said that it was not possible to connect when I typed in an internet address on internet explorer.
maybe you have not 3g coverage at your location!! or your contract didn allow 3g connection!! ask your provider!!
when configuring the data connection look to the modem options there you can select different modems .. just try gprs only

First of all hello,
maybe some people know this problem.
Hutchison 3G Problems/ Three / Drei however named is a network provider in various countries.
Like in Austria if you have not a strength 3G signal, your phone will switch to another network provider called A1 (Vodafone) it is national Roaming and only 2G, but it's free because they have a contract.
The big problem at this point is that if you get back to a place where 3G signal is good the phone doesn't switch back automatically. So I have to search for the network manually and that is really annoying.
In original roms from Hutchison 3G in Austria the search at least every 3 minutes for the 3G network if the are in the Vodafone network.
What I didn't say before is that Hutchison 3G has no 2G network in Austria that is the reason for the contract.
So I'm searching for a script or something else which gives me to opportunity to switch to Hutchison 3G or a automated script which does the job.
Greetings
Hi and "Servus"
did you try
*#*#197328640#*#*
-> Debug Screen -> Phone Control -> Network Control -> Band Selection -> GSM Band -> GSM all
(or stay 3g all the time with "WCDMA" on)
viel Glück!
you guy rock! that works now it would be awesome to write an app for that... I could write an app, but I need the source from the debug screen ...
danke ;-)
ok found a shortcut code to the band selection *#*#2263#*#*

u will never get 2G on 3 (three) cos they simply dont broadcast it .. just 3G ..
I posted in the Bionic on T-Mobil thread but I thought it would be more appropriate to post here since I am trying to connect to Globe Telecom.
I finally was able to unlock the GSM signal on my Droid Bionic.
Currently I am in the Philippines but my Bionic doesn't seem to get a strong signal over 1x through Globe Telecom (Pre-paid).
I tried adding the APN for GPRS and MMS but still no luck. I am not even sure if the APN settings I am using are correct because I've tried many different ones. Can someone give me the correct APN I need for GPRS and MMS?
I cannot receive or send text messages or connect to 3G network
How can I get my Bionic to work completely? I am sick of using my aunts Nokia from the 90s. haha.
When I go into *#*#4636#*#* and look at Phone info it states the following:

If you can figure it out let me know. I'm looking for the settings to be able to use my Bionic on Straight Talk.
I have the same issue with the same country and the same network provider in my Xperia TX.
ihave some on verizon inser sim show
THIS SIM CARD IS FROM AN UNKNOWN SOURCE

I am running this excellent ROM on my X1, but I face one annoying problem with data connectivity. Provider is Vodafone Germany.
After installation, I ran the automatic network setup, and it created a profile 'Vodafone DE'. Since I had problems with data connectivity, I added another network profile Vodafone Internet which I use and which works fine.
GSM/EDGE and HDSPA connectivity are fine, no problems. Vodafone seemed to have some bugs with switching stations to LTE capability, and on these stations, UMTS data connectivity did not work, I had to disable UMTS and use GSM only. This problem of downward compatibility seems to be solved now.
However, when having UMTS enabled, in cases of cell switching under weak signal levels, the data connection gets lost. When I check the Network selection, I get "Vodafone Internet" registered for Internet access, and "Vodafone DE" for private network. Sometimes it is "Vodafone DE" for both. I have to switch manually the internet access back to "Vodafone Internet" and the private network to "My work network" to make UTMS data connectivity working again. In the GSM only mode, this does not occur.
I tried to delete the "Vodafone DE" profile since I do not need it, but this is not possible. Somehow it seems to be registered as default profile and is used as fall back if connectivity with the active profile fails.
Any idea how to solve this?
I have a HTC One M8 sprint that i bought on Ebay, i have no problem to make and receive calls after i unlocked it but there is no mobile internet.
My APN Settings is correct, however i only have the option of bearer: LTE or eHRPD or Unspecified
When i search for networks on my normal phone i always get two options:
Movistar 2G
Movistar 3G
Vodafone 2G
Vodafone 3G
and the other networks here.
On the HTC that i sim unlocked i only get:
Movistar
Vodafone
Orange
There is no indication on if it is 2G or 3G.
*#*#4636#*#*
Have set it at GSM Auto PRL and restarted the phone, i have also tried all other network types without success.
Under Phone Info i get Current Network Movistar
GPRS Disconnected (Cant seem to activate that)
GSM: In Service
Network Type: Unknown
I have tried different radios, but no one has worked and they all end up with the phone entering a loop where it restarts and cant recognice the SIM card.
Mobile Network Settings:
Network mode: GSM/UMTS Only
Allow GSM Data: Ticked the box
Is there anyone who has been in the same situation and who has found a solution?
I have seen a number of posts where people say that they cant get data but calls is working, but the only resolution that people has offered is to set the GSM Auto PRL and restart the phone, that has not worked for me.
Very happy for any help that you can give!
Thanks
