hey guys
been trying to get 3G to work, but everytime i go into the bank selection, and pressing on the 850mhz band, it says "menu not exsist" so i cannot enable 3G
anyone know wtf is going on here and how i can make 3G work?
thanks
EDIT: it worked fine up until i flashed 2.3.3, then flashed back to darky now i cant
Is the phone actually the 850 or 900mhz version?
If it's the 850 then check to see if you have a compatible modem. May just need to flash one to fix it.
Also check if your apn settings are correct just in case.

Its a 850 version, been using it for ages but it stuffed up when i flashed to 2.3.3 then back to darky
tried flashing JG4 and JL2 which are 850 modems but still not working
and yep, they are right
Check your apn settings. You may have list them during the flash 2.3.3 flash process. I've added a link in my first post just in case you need it.

that makes 2 of us then haha!
i got no idea what happen
These are some of the things I would try in your situation:
-Restore cwm backup of rom that had working 3g (I assume you would have done that already if you had one).
-restore to factory settings.
-flash a fresh / compatible stock rom just to see if it comes back. Then re-flash darkys.
I doubt there is a problem with the phone itself. Just some software mismatch somewhere.

Ok
I just flashed the stock telstra ROM back onto the phone, and still getting 2g, and 3g is there but not going to work...
my other phone is working on 3g fine though so its not telstra
( talking about NextG here to, same thing really )
EDIT: now it says its running on the 850 band under band selection, its the only one ticked. but its still E which is 2g
under service mode, its running GSM900, ****ty 2G
would it be because my phone only has 10% battery?
Well I hope for your sake low battery is the problem.
Hey, I thought I was the only one who flashes roms with such low battery. Guess not!

i dont think your supposed to flash roms with low battery but lol
Got another idea. Since you have 'E' showing then you must have correct apn details.
So now go to mobile network settings and select only wcdma in network mode. That is 3g only. Take it off auto.
Could just be that 3g there but its defaulting to 2g due to low reception.

So they say but I've lost count of how many times I've done so at 10% or less. Never had a problem.

stupid thing says "menu not exsist" when i go into the band selection
Also
There was this walkthrough thing I saw on here ages ago, about changing the product code the manual way, But can't find it.
It had something to do with using adb to copy over something in the efs folder, can't remember
Do you know what I'm talking about?
Is it possible that when they replaced the PCB in my phone, they did not put a 850 enabled version in there? Cause nothing I do is working.....
Yep, I know what you are talking about but I use another method.
In dialler type *#272*imei# with imei being your imei number of course.
It will show you the available product codes. Just remember that once you change it the phone will automatically reboot and do a factory reset.
Not sure however if this will help with your problem.
Was 3g working after you got it back from warranty?

Yeah I tried that way but it did not work.
And I'm 99% sure it was.
They replaced it with a regular one, I put my Optus sim in there, and 3G works. So they replaced it with a Regular 900MHz version, not a NextG version
You have got to be ****ing joking....
Oohh! That hurts man! I'd be pretty pissed too. If it shows as 900 then they fu**ed up.
I'd be going to see them Asap. Problem is you'll be without a phone again until fixed.
Give them an ear-full man.

recently updated my i9000 to the jvo of gingerbread, now when I roam sometimes it has problems getting a signal, in major cities it is fine but on a highway it loses it sometimes and says emergency calls only,.or shows three/four bars but won't send anything,
I'm on Virgin Mobile in Canada,
an example us when I went to sarnia once I couldn't get a signal to save my life, I'm from cambridge.

You could try flashing a new modem through Odin. Some work better than others. If you do a quick search of the forum you'll find loads of info.

okay, thanks
is there any which will not result in me having to reinstall all my apps?

I just got this phone running again it was bricked by me. When i put my sim card in it shows no service. My sim card is fine. Anyone know how to fix it? My apn settings are what they should be. Idk what to do

Can you elaborate what exactly happened ?
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
I unbricked it using odin. Now when i put my sim card in it wont get signal. It was reported stolen then we got it back messed up. She called and told cell one we got it back. So shouldnt they have removed the block on it?
Sent from my GT-S5830i using xda app-developers app
I think the problem is with the sim & not with the phone. I think they haven't processed your request properly, for which they might want you to provide some additional proof to confirm your identity. You might wanna recontact them. And have you tried this sim on other phones & other sims on this phone ? If yes, what was the consequence ?
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
well i must admit that this thread has very informative 'title' (not o mention subject)
Yes I use it on my regular ace 5830. Works fine and everything. The stock rom I flashed was an at&t firmware. Then I flashed ace-i-sure to see if it made a difference. Nope.
Sent from my TB782B using xda premium
So let me just recap on the information you have provided so far...
1. You bricked the phone yourself
2. You then reported the phone as having been stolen
3. You managed to unbrick the phone using Odin
4. You reported to your network provider that you now have the phone back
5. Now the phone still has no network signal
Sounds like you might have an issue with the Karma chip
But seriously, under Settings / About Phone / Baseband... what does it say there?
I believe xxla2

Yea just checked its s5830ixxla2 I flashed ace I sure to see if it might fix the problem. It doesnt

I think you did a big mistake reporting it as stolen. I ain't able to find a hint of what could open the doors to link the exact problem in the software with any rom. But by far, it seems to me that they might have disabled the phone from connecting to a network as you reported it to be stolen or it might happen to be a hardware issue. In any case, you might wanna go to the service centre.

I'm thinking of just calling them to see if it's been blocked if so they should remove it as we have it working again. we've already bought a replacement.

Good. Just contact them !

I am curious if anyone knows or has posted a guide on whether or not you can somehow unlock network preferences on AT&T builds. Specifically on V28B you can choose gsm/wcdma (2g/3g) or 3g only or 2g only. V30B however does not have these options...nor did V20P. I think it has something to do with the debranded ability to connect to the Maritime network but I'm clueless really on this one. Im currently running xbsall's VX3D and I love it because its based on V30B and I have my 4g signal (even though there's no such thing as 4g where I am lol). I have a lot of network problems like dropped calls and sms fails in my house where I live so I always use the 2g only option here. Just don't want to get rid of this Rom so I thought Id ask first before flashing back to 28B.

Hey guys I picked up a bell mobility HTC One in Ontario Canada the other day. I rooted it and I stalled CWM and installed 2 different roms now one was CM the other was coin's. For some reason when I pull up the xda app or try to bring it up in the browser it never connects. I can loaf the home page but not the forums and the app goes nowhere. It worked fine on stock. I have the standard version of both roms installed. However this only occurs when I'm connected to the mobile network it works fine over WiFi. Any ideas?

Here I'll get the thread going.
Could this have anything to do with firmware?
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Installing latest firmware only takes 5 mins, so it's probs ideal to give it a try. I was having issues with call quality but firmware fixed it!

I never experienced this, but if you tried 2 different roms, Firmware is your best bet for solving the issue. I am on bell too, so I am not sure why it happened to u and not me.
