Hi,
I've just got a hold of a HTC Pure and have unlocked it and put a 3 mobile (Australia) sim into it.
The problem is that it doesn't seem to recognise the 3 mobile network? When I go to Network settings it says the following:
Current Network: 3
But if I search for available Networks it only shows Vodafone AU, Telstra, and YES OPTUS... no 3 mobile network?
On the home page of TouchFlo 3D it says '3' in the service bar as well (it never says roaming) however if I go to the marketplace (for e.g.) it will say that it has detected that I am roaming (and gives me the warning that I may incur additional charges).
Cheers
this may be due to the fact your using a us marketplace and it sees you in the AU and it does not know any better .

Hi, first post, searched a little...need help
I bought a tilt in December from AT&T, an 8900 non camera. I'm in S. Korea and I cannot get service. I have international roam activated and AT&T has confirmed account settings are correct...Here's the deal:
1. Phone searches for a few minutes and the I get an exclamation point.
2. Goto phone settings and see "no service"
3. Change network settings from auto to manual.
4. Phone finds KTF and SK Telecom (the two providers here in S. Korea).
5. Tries to register and generally there is no feedback, but on occasion I have received the message "Cannot read settings from the network. Try viewing settings later or disconnect data connection and try again."
6. Data is not connecting.
7. AT&T technical support (level two after the customer service rep) says the problem with the tilt is I cannot force it to use umts 2100. Then he came up with the idea that my SIM is from AT&T and that's the problem, I have to go get a local SIM from SK Telecom, but I was here in October with a Palm750 and an ATT Sim. Worked like a charm.
I'm stuck....could use any help at all!!!!
Thanks,
Steve

Are the carriers that you are referring to CDMA or GSM?
The local carriers are WCDMA/UMTS 2100 and I've downloaded the band tab dll from another post and confirmed that I am on the correct band...
I'm almost convinced it is an account problem. As of this morning my phone would continously come up with a "select" network screen (As there are 2 networks here). I select either and get the message "unable to register on the selected network, choose another or change data connection type"..
As I understand it, when I roam, my sim or phone # attempts to register across the local network to my home network and it needs authentication before I can have access...
what do you think?
bump....anyone with experience at all here?
In a simialar boat soon
I will be moving to Korea soon (Military) and I have an 8925 (unlocked) and I am wondering if I will be able to use my phone with either SK Telecom or KTF (both have GSM, I checked.)
If so, will I have to change anything in my phone? I'm using Dutty's WM6.1 Hybrid v2 5.2.19716 with the 1.65.14.06 Radio.
I have a HTC Touch Diamond P3700 which I think was sourced from Hong Kong. I use it on the Hutchinson 3 network in Australia and am unable to get Roaming (on Telstra network) going. I am currently on hoidays in Noosa and there is no Three coverage here and the phone will not switch to Roaming. I had installed the Hutchinson 3 official Rom (I was able to get this on the phone by first flashing Olinex Hard SPL).
Current Installed Firmware...
ROM Version = 1.93.861.4 WWE
ROM Date = 11/21/08
Radio Version = 1.09.25.23
Protocol Version = 52.51.25.26W
Model = HTC Touch Diamond P3700
The above ROM is Hutchinson 3 Aus with a different Radio version. I have also tried to Roam with the stock Hutchinson ROM.
With the above setup, the only Network Type I can select are WCDMA or Auto. GSM/UMTS band options are UMTS (900+2100) + GSM (900+1800) and Auto. I have installed advanced Comm Manager which enables me to turn off 3G in the hope that the phone would Roam on Telstra GSM. When I do this the Network Type selection is blank.
I have also flashed Duttys 5.2.20764.1.4.3_V4_Full_MSVC [2.03] and was able to view a full range of UMTS and GSM bands and had WCDMA, Auto and GSM as an option in Network Type.
I have also tried the following Radios:
1.00.25.05
1.13.25.24
1.11.25.1
1.09.25.23
1.00.25.06
1.12.25.16 (couldn't get this one to work)
I am not scared to try flashing different items, but am really lost as to why I can't get Roaming (on Telstra network). I suspect the version of my Diamond does not have the necessary hardware to use the required Band.
Can anyone give me a tip as I am now lost and Hutchinson won't help me as I didn't buy the phone through them. Even being a customer (2 phones) for 3 years + doesn't not count (might be time for a new provider).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Paul
I am with Three also, they really suck, dont they?
Have you tried changing the radio to 1.08.25.20? thats the best I have found for use with 3. This should enable the GSM option under network connections. Actually I specifically remember that the GSM option (or antoher) was different for me on your type of radio...
let me know how you go.
I am with Three using an imported Diamond, radion 1.09.25.23 but the official one for Three Australia also worked fine to me. I roam onto Telstra a lot cos not in a good coverage area.
Have roamed across europe and no problems. Is it the data connection or the voice that you need? If the data connection is the problem then maybe download a new connection setup cab and try to update that. Sorry, not much use I know!
Still no luck
Bigruss
Voice is the thing I am after. Still no luck. I have gone back to Duttys 5.2.20764.1.4.3_V4_Full_MSVC ROM and Radio 1.08.25.20 which enables GSM to be selected. Under SETTING|PHONE|NETWORK I have pressed the 'Find Network' button but the phone cannot find any networks yet my wife's iPhone is able to pick up Roaming (Telstra), Yes Optus and Vodafone AU. I find it strange that my Touch Diamond can't locate any networks. I'll keep hunting the fault but it is very frustrating. Thanks for the help. Cheers, Paul

Paul,
Try going to Setting>Phone>Band tab and select 'GSM', then 'Auto' or the apprpriate band for roaming.
Thanks dieselpower89
I have tried all that. Also changed the ROM 5 or 6 times. Radios that and a few more. It is as if the phone will only recognize the Three network and nothing else. It will not pick up any other networks. Very strange.
why u dont give a try to upgrade to the official one(2.03.707.2)?
maybe it wil help u
Albert_betet
2.03.707.2 is not available for Australian networks. I tried to download from htc.com but it rejected my serial number as not compatiable. I have tried the latest Hutchinson ROM which is still current on the htc.com website (Australian) and whilst it works on my phone, the roaming doesn't activate.
might be a sim card prob. im on 3 with a diamond from overseas as well. before i kept losing receptino and it would reconnect when i powered up the screen. and also it would say no reception but i could go on 3 internet and stuff. Just go to the 3 store and they will give u a brand new sim card for free then callup customer care and tel them to transfer your service onto your new sim card. only took like 3 minutes in total.. and the call centre is 24hrs
Thanks JexL,
You're a champ!! My wife's sim card has been roaming in her iPhone so I put her card in my phone and didn't find a network at first. I went to SETTINGS |PHONE and then Network tab and there was another option for either Auto or Manual select a network. I selected manual which then found the 3 available networks here in Noosa. I chose Telstra and then Roaming became available. I turned off the phone and swapped back my card. Turned phone on and Roaming was found immediately. Funnily enough I don't have the auto/manual network selection option. But the phone works so that is the main thing.
Thanks again to all that helped.
Hi,
I've recently upgraded from stock 1.93 firmware to Gen.Y's R5 ROM (based on Diamond 2), and I like it very much (much better than old interface). I've also upgraded radio from v1.00.25 to v1.09.25.23.
At the start I've selected my provider "Telfort" and I had immediate internet access. I've also selected "database update" (every month)
However, I still have a problem. Windows mobile still incorrectly thinks I'm roaming. This possibly is because Telfort was taken over by KPN (another dutch provider) in 2005 and since then Telfort users use their network (also see the wikipedia). So I'm not really roaming and it doesn't cost me extra.
Still, I get roaming warning messages everywhere and weather updates/mail updates don't get downloaded etc. I could disable all of this but would like for them to be disabled if I'm really roaming, for example when I'm out of the country.
So is there a way to let WM know the provider/connection settings/network I'm currently using isn't really a roaming provider but a "native" provider?
Thanks in advance
Hello,
i've just upgraded to the latest official OTA FW 3.08.405.3
Sense3.0 is great, but i cannot turn on mobile network anymore - i tried it both via Quick settings and Wireless settings menus - it cannot be enabled. And even worts is that it doesn't report any error msg and the 3G sign doesn't appear on status bar. There is noting in the log too...
Does anyone has the same problem?
I just wrote a mail to HTC support, but don't know if they track this as support channel...
This is terrible - i can't live without mobile network connection ...please help!

This might sound weird, but is there anything in APN setting?
Try to mess with the toggles. I have had similar problem. I constantly turned airplane mode on/off and switched from GSM to WCDMA. Finally it goes, if this isn't related to apn. Hope i helped.
10x a lot guys !
it didn't recover APN settings after upgrade
I previously checked them, and assumed that check-box is selected, but actually it was not. It should be colored in green, but actually it was in grey
Unable to re-enable Mobile Network for data-only SIM Japan -- possible bug?
Having a similar problem, some more details:
PHONE:
I am using an unlocked (but unrooted) Incredible S from Virgin Mobile Canada with a data-only BMobile SIM in Japan (runs on DoCoMo's network apparently). Android 2.3.3 (Virgin Canada circa August 2011).
PROBLEM:
Mobile Network intermittently gets disabled and cannot be re-enabled normally. APN is fine, SIM card (phone number) is still detected. Toggling Airplane Mode or Wireless Network does not work, Select Automatically returns "unable to connect, try again later", Search Networks and choosing DoCoMo returns "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network".
SOLUTION:
Only reproducible solution is to remove data-only SIM, insert voice&data SIM (from my SoftBank phone), now Mobile Network is available so re-enable it, power down and replace data-only SIM. Once restarted Mobile Network automatically enables. Obviously this is not a convenient fix.
Once was fixed by randomly hitting network settings in frustration, but I have not been able to reproduce this solution.
OBSERVATION:
When on wireless, Mobile Network is also greyed out. When Wireless Network is disabled, Mobile Network automatically enables properly (for the most part, at least once I suspect it did not).
Thus I feel like it's a bug, either in OS or DoCoMo's network, but BMobile and HTC both point the finger at each other and have no useful suggestions for me.
ASIDE:
I hear Android 2.3.5 is available for Incredible S, perhaps this fixes the problem. However, this update has not appeared in my updater -- is it possible that because I'm unlocked I've lost access to the update server?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
mobile network disconnected
Have also the same problem, tried all the above suggestions but none works. Phone only shows limited service but with x on the signal bar. BUt when i try to tap the sim tool kit, it displays "SIM toolkit not ready or unsupported".
Hope somebody here can help me. Thanks

USA -> Malaysia -> South Africa - it worked a little in Malaysia, no service in SA
Hi everyone, I have a bit of a weird situation and I'm hoping someone with experience can point me in the right direction.
I bought a Note 8 (second hand) in Malaysia. It's a US snapdragon version:
When the phone boots it shows the XFINITY logo.
SM-N950U, Baseband Version: N950USQS5CRG9
Service provider SW ver. :
SAOMC_SM-N950_OYN_CCT_OO_0024

Android Security Patch Level:
August 1, 2018
The phone worked in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, but not very well. I was using a Malaysian uMobile simcard. There were a few places where I could make calls.. but in most areas only the LTE worked.
I usually couldn't make or receive calls or get SMS or even use MMI codes (like *123# to check balance). I could browse the internet though.
I then traveled to Malacca (a smaller city in Malaysia) and I couldn't get the phone to work at all anywhere - not even LTE.
I'm now back home in South Africa and again, the phone doesn't work here at all. I've tried sims from all the providers here. Is there a firmware I can flash that would help? I've been reading this thread, and it's a little confusing to know which versions to flash and in what order. Before I attempt something, I just wanted to run this by you guys and make sure it's not in vain, and that this phone can be made to work in South Africa?
Only the cellular functions of the phone are not working. Wifi works fine. I also noticed some people mention that they have an airplaine mode icon, I do not. I have have a circle with a line through it, and a message "No Network Connection"
All I want is to be able to make phone calls and use internet - I don't need wifi-calling or anything carrier specific. The South African networks are Vodacom, CellC and MTN - I've previously bought phones from the USA that work here before.
I don't think my phone is carrier locked because it did work a little in Malaysia depending on where I was.
When I use a sim from a carrier here called MTN:
I fiddle with the Network Mode, switching between LTE/3G/2G and 3G/2G in Settings->Connections->Mobile Networks - I get a few bars of connection, but when I try to do anything it says "Not Registered on Network"
When I use a sim from a carrier here called Vodacom:
If I go to network operators and search networks - it shows all the south african networks - I select Vodacom (for this sim) - I get zero bars in the connection strength. In the notification pull down, it says "No Service - Selected network (Vodacom-SA) not available.
Thanks!
Update
I've attempted to flash an N950U1 firmware ( N950U1UEU5CRJ2 ) .. but still no cellular connectivity.
So far I've:
1. Did a factory reset.
2. Used Odin 3B(PatcheD) with the latest N950U1 XAA firmware from updato and used BL, AP, CP and CSC_OYM, and NOT HOME_CSC)
3. Odin Passed, and the phone rebooted and erased itself again.
4. When it booted it said "Your device will restart to configure features supported by the new sim card"
5. It rebooted, with a screen with a blue image of a sim card and 3 dots.. which stayed that way for a while, then again rebooted.
6. After rebooting again, I'm now in and everything works except the cellular stuff .. still No Service. The signal icon on top shows the empty triangle (no bars).
