Loads of people here report that EE firmware on i9305 only allows:
2G/3G/4G (auto connect)
3G only
settings for Network mode.
Can anyone with a UK O2 stock ROM report what settings they get to choose for Network mode?
Thanks and your help is much appreciated.

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

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.

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 ..
[Q] Network operator selection
I've recently flashed Cyanogen Mod 9 on my Samsung Galaxy S Plus GT-I9001 and I'm wondering what operator I should choose for my carrier in the Network Operators settings. My carrier is Virgin Mobile UK which uses the Everything Everywhere network and if I choose the auto select option it will change the operator to Orange. Should I leave the operator settings as Orange or will they charge me roaming costs for using their network?
Hi does anyone know how to set the Phone to GSM Only on this phone?
The reason why I ask this is when I will roam abroad I don't want my S3 LTE to use the 3G networks.
However 3 UK being a 3G only network have disabled the GSM only option and only have: GSM/WCDMA (Auto) or WCDMA only.
Is there a special code or hack that I can use with this particular model?
Thanks.
You may have to use another ROM; in my i9305 ROM (locked to T-Mobile, bought SIM-free) I have the choice of "3G only" or "2G/3G/4G" as baseband selections. I can't explicitly choose '2G only'. There may be a third party app which you could grab to force baseband if you're happy to root your device, afraid I've not even looked yet (only had the phone a couple of weeks).
Hey! Try this code *#197328640# UMTS -> DEBUG SCREEN -> PHONE CONTROL -> NETWORK CONTROL -> BAND SELECTION -> GSM Band Preference -> GSM ALL
Hi guys, this lte stuff is fair confusing for me. Can't seem to find answers to the questions below. Would be grateful if you could advise.
The phone in question is an LTE enabled GS3, PAYG so it's unlocked and unbranded.
I want to know if I can use my current standard 3UK micro sim in an lte enabled GS3?
I don't expect to get superfast speeds but will the phone work just like a regular GS3 while using this sim?
Will I get superfast data on the lte enabled GS3 when 3UK eventually update the network?
***SOLVED***

Thank you for all your help! This works brilliantly!!

Hi all,
I have an unlocked Xperia Z1 on unbranded software version 14.2.A.0.290, using it in the UK on a 4G network.
When I try to select LTE/4G in the network mode menu, the only options I have are:
WCDMA only
GSM only
WCDMA (Preferred)/GSM
As far as I can see online, I should have this option, as there shouldn't be a carrier block on unbranded firmware.
If anyone has any suggestions on how I can turn 4G on, I would be eternally grateful!
Thanks!
Update to .136 first and check again.
