3G sim card compatability

I have upgraded to your windows 6 and have a rom version 7.0c40CS, thank you its great, radio version 1.17.00 but my phone provider has now upgraded my sim card to 3G and now my phone does not work, it says no service available yet the card works in any other phone! I have carried out a hard reboot but still no good, can I use 3G? or do I have to go back and reactivate the old 2G sim card?
You are using a very old rom..try this version of the shekhar's rom

Right man! singjim may need to buy a new phone with 3G support then u can use ur sim card
3g simm card
Yes I need a 2G simm card, but when I got the old 2G card re-activated by the provider ( it works in other 3g phones ) I still have no service on the network.
I have updated the ROM as recommended by Ather90 and still it does not work. I have swapped the 2G simm card with a friend and tried his in my phone and it does not work! What a coincidence that my PDA dies when I change the simm card? I'm still lost help please.

Man! upgrade is not effect ur sim card, i think ur provider doesn't support 2G network anymore. I have upgrade my Xda II almost ten times already and it still working.
3g sim card
yes Iagree, I expect sim card is OK so what is wrong with PDA? Why does a reset as complete as a Rom upgrade not reset the phone?
This is the Same Problem i had with my Previous Himalaya..It always showed "Invalid SIM Card" or "No Service"...
i pulled out all of my hairs to solve that problem but it didnt...so i had to replace it...
Does your GSM provider still have their 2G network? If yes, insert your SIM to a SE phone and try it with 3G disabled (SE got a option to disable 3G & to use 2G only). If that also works, try a 2G sim of some other GSM provider in your PPC. Here we dont have to upgrade the sim for get 3G. we can still use the old 2G sim. But to have HSPA or speeds above 512kbps, we need to upgrade to a 3G U-SIM.
re 3g simcard
i use a 3g simcard using latest c_shekhar rom.. and it works.. no problem at all, only the stk doesnt work..
3G sim card
Took it to the XDA repair man who pulled a face at the cooked rom! then reloaded windows 2003 or something very blue and it all works!!! Plus 50$ for the trouble so I cooked it again to 6.1.2a16cs and everything is fine. It seems the phone operator deliberately immobilized the phone to make me buy a new one!! be careful out there.

hi i like this a lot but would like to kown if i get one can i used an 3g sim card (uk)
in this phone.
thank you
if it's not sim locked to another network sure

[Q] Very Weird Problem. Need Urgent help please.

I Exchanged 5 HTC ONE Dual Sim phones(802d) and finally got a flawless device without gaps/dead pixels/camera problems. Today however, when I inserted a second sim in SIM 2 slot, it showed no signal in my house. I put the same sim in sim1 slot and it was working fine. When I got out of my locality, the sim2 slot got a 4 bar signal and was working without any problems but as soon as I came home again the sim2 lost the signal. Basically, the sim1 slot is working fine in my house with both the sim cards but sim2 is not giving any signal.
My questions:
1) Both the sim cards are giving me a normal signal in my house in SIM 1. But as soon as I insert any of them in sim 2, they are giving no signal. Is the sim2 slot damaged by any way?
2) If it's damaged, how is it(the sim2 slot) giving me a normal signal as soon as I leave my locality?
I WOULD REQUEST AS MANY USERS TO GIVE THEIR INPUTS AS I JUST HAVE 3 DAYS LEFT FOR MY 14 DAY REPLACEMENT POLICY. IF IT'S NOT A ISSUE, THEN I NEED NOT GET IT REPLACED.
HOPING ALL OF YOU HELP ME OUT HERE
anyone? I really need help

[Q] Unlocked ATT device no signal after switching SIM

Hello.
I have an Atrix HD from ATT, I bought it unlocked at Ebay. I used it with my ATT sim Card, then with Movistar in Colombia for vacations and everything was working great. Then I came back to the US, used a T-Mobile sim card and now I can not use any other sim card. The only one it accepts is the T-Mobile one and it works fine. If I pop any other sim card it gives me no signal (a white cross appears in a red circle where the circle bars should be).
My phone is rooted but I have not flashed any ROM or done anything else beyond installing Superuser and Titanium Backup. I already did an internal and an external reset and none works: The only sim card that gets signal is the T-Mobile one. Called T-Mobile and they said they cant help me since the phone is not supported.
My hint is that somehow the T-Mobile sim card switched my frequency bands. Whats funny though is that now I am in Colombia and when I insert the T-Mobile sim card and check which network is my phone connected to it shows Movistar and the signal bars are great. If I pop up my Movistar sim card it gets no signal at all.
Any help will be greatly appreaciated.
You must have setup the sim card lock disable that and then try putting in another sim

tab s T705 LTE micro sim card problem

Has anyone had problems with LTE tab s 8.4" sim card ?
the signal bars all the time are full as if there is sim card in the device. i tried inserting two nano sim cards with micro adapter it immediately asks to restart as Sim card detected..
I place sim card, restart and NOTHING !
same full bar signal all the time with/without sim. Still says no sim card inserted.
Device from singapore.
Now i know 8.4 LTE tab S is 3g/4g sim card compatible and sim cards work perfectly otherwise. i reset factory settings with no results !
going to mobile networks trying to chose networks also gives error of no network available.
ANy ideas/ Help !
thank you

Check your imei number. If imei starts 00..... you have problem with logining to network.

I have the same thing as well when no simcard is inserted. Per understanding, the phone automatically logs on to any network so you could dial the emergency number (in your country)
