Hi,
I am having the following situation with my mobile data.
Bought an HTC One in Germany, everything works well, took it to Peru (Claro Network) where I currently live, also everything worked fine.
Rooted the device and installed Android Revolution 12.1. - everything worked good.
Installed Google Edition Rom - not sure if EDGE or 3G / 4G worked. Installed again Android Revolution (this time 12.2) and since then I only get EDGE coverage (yes, i am in an area with 3G and 4G coverage - my kids phones work without issue). I believe that the Android Revolution does not touch the radio so I guess the Google Edition is/was the initiatior of the problem.
Thought that it might be the Radio, and flashed the up to date T-Mobile Germany radios (as they worked in the beginning), but no change.
What to do? Is there some other component which might effect the EDGE / 3G & 4G reception? Anyone has a Claro Peru radio to make a final check?
Attaching screenshoot of Firmware etc.
Thanks alot,
TK
Go to settings -> Mobile Data
There is a "Network Mode" section make sure it is on GSM WCDMA LTE auto
If that doesnt work, make sure you are on the correct "access point" I, for whatever reason, have the GSM access point and a "WAP" one for my company. One time it auto-selected WAP and I was having issues with internet.
Hi,
yes all activated. Just did some more research ... and maybe someone can help.
I am having a M7_UL version but it was bought in Europe, and does not support the 850 3G band which I need overhere in Peru. I am stuck on the 1.54 Bootloader. How can I get this to work. A Canadian Radio e.g. would do as it support the 850 Band.
Thanks alot for a hint,

Hi all,
I'm new to MDAs and to these forums so bear with me. I looked around quite a bit and have been unable to resolve my issue. I obtained an HTC Touch Diamond (a T-mobile Compact IV) in the UK and am trying to get it working in the US. While in the UK there were no connection issues but as soon as I got to the US the connection is unstable. I have managed to make about 10 calls in the US but they cut out after a short time and most of the time I cannot make a call or cannot connect to a network at all. It can always see Tmobile and AT&T but can rarely connect, and when connected can rarely call. I have flashed the TLR 3.08.07.16 WWE ROM and updated the radio ROM to 1.09.25.23
Any help would be greatly appreciated
from my basic knowledge of radio, uk networks use gsm while most us networks use cdma that mite be your problem!!
try going to start>settings>phone (in the personal tab)> scroll to the band tab and change ur network from auto to wcdma!! you may also have to change the band setting your using, but u may have to check with your network on what frequency they use
Thanks for the suggestion. Thus far I have only been able to connect on GSM, CDMA has never worked. I also have been using the 850 1900 band which I heard is the one used in the US. I have connected occasionally but am still having trouble.
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.
Hello I just received a brand new S4 active (GT-I9295) after my old one had some watter resistant issues
In the old one I had flashed the 4.4.2 from netherlands (I'm in Portugal) without any issues. So 3G (HSPA+) and 4G working perfectly in Portugal at optimus (P OPTIMUS uses the GSM 900 / GSM 1800 / UMTS 2100 frequency bands for its network.) Then it took a swim and I've ended with a new phone.
Now this one came with 4.2.2 TPH version. The guys at samsung had to change it's imei, and when it came to me not even boot recovery was working (error no command). Now I've flashed once again the 4.4.2 from Netherlands and Germany I9295XXUCNE5 base band with Kernel 3.4.0-1429916 and compilation KOT49H.I9295XXUCNE5.
The problem is. With this new phone and with the same simcard I've previously used and its working in 3g and 4g in other phones I'm stuck at EDGE with (LTE/WCDMA/GSM auto option) and if I select WCDMA only I get no network at all.
Also besides this there are a few wi-fi networks where I'm no longer able to connect (getting ip address forever) but the pressing issue is really 3g /4g connectivity.
Will I have to wait to a TPH (portuguese) rom? With the other phone all of this was pretty straight forward. The reason why I need 4.4.2 in this phone is my gear. But I don't want to give up 3g/4g and since this was working with the same settings there should be some workaround.
Thank you for your help
Hi,
I have done some searching on the forums and found related questions to this, but no answer that fixes my problem.
I have been using a Samsung Ativ S T899M for about 2 years now, originally a phone from Rogers Canada that my work bought, imported into the US on AT&T through Expansys. I actually live in Canada though and use it on Rogers.
We bought these phones with WinPho 8.0 on them, and configured them originally to use the APN WAP.CINGULAR and they connected just fine to Rogers Network, showing 3G, 4G and LTE connectivity for the last 2 years. When I go to the US for work, I switch it to 'Automatic' network connection and I get connectivity just fine. Even through various updates to Windows Phone 8.1, including the Developer Preview.
I recently reset my phone due to formatting issues with an SD card, and reset everything, restoring from a backup:
OS Version: 8.10.14176.243
FW Rev: 2212.12.11.2
HW Rev: 15.3.1.0
Radio Software ver: <blank?>
Radio Hardware ver: <blank?>
I reset the phone, and only 3 days later was I prompted to update to the above versions, although I checked for updates shortly after the reset.
Now to the problem: I no longer see LTE as a connectivity option when connecting to Rogers Network, AND I don't have Internet connectivity, even when choosing 4G. (I realize this might be 2 diff problems)
In the Settings --> 'Cellular+SIM' --> 'SIM' menu, I see only 2G, 3G and 4G in the highest connection speed..no LTE as there was before.
When I search for networks, I see Rogers at 2G, 3G and 4G, no LTE.
I have the APN set to WAP.CINGULAR and have also tried fast.t-mobile.com as advised in some other forum posts, with no luck.
I have the diagnostics app installed (*#634#) and have dialed into the Test Mode menu using *#0011# and tried to follow the codes to get to the UTMS mode menu, but it does not work. Tapping Back twice does nothing whatsoever.
Does anyone have a similar experience? Am I missing the Radio drivers I need? How do I correct this?
Any help / advice / tests are appreciated.
I have this phone as well. Its unlocked from Bell Canada. I made the same mistake and upgraded it to 8.1 DP, I since bought a Nokia Lumia 635 that I use as my daily driver, as there are soo many bugs with the T899M now using the 8.1DP. When I was using it I noticed that missing LTE from the settings as well, but every now and then my phone would tell me I was connected to LTE in the status bar.
I really wish there was a way to restore this phone back to the original factory firmware 8.0....well I'm sure there is, but for some reason there simply is no ROM online to do so. Very unfortunate for us T899M owners who did the 8.1 DP update.
The missing radio HW & SW lines are because Samsung needs to update the firmware, some of the hardware is missing proprietary drivers (radios/camera, etc), unfortunately everytime I contact Samsung they tell me the same thing. "You cannot downgrade, it is not possible. We will let you know when an update is available".....basically the're no help.
Alls we can do is wait....one day it maybe updated...who knows when though...apparently not Samsung.
4G is LTE. I set my highest setting to 4G and in the top corner it shows LTE. 8.1 DP latest
Alright, this is my first post to my recollection, so Im hoping this gets some great responses.
I own a network unlocked HTC M7, coming from Sprint. The thing is, Im in Jamaica, and im using a local service provider called Digicel. They do have 4G services, but regardless of the band I select I only get GSM. Thats the best it gets to be honest. On WiFi, Im all fine, but once it hits mobile data, I automatically get back to the days of our fore fathers.
I have done some research on my own and found that Sprint apparently provides 4G on their CDMA network. I am not very sure if this phone may have 3 radios as a result, and thats what causes this, but I needed some help. I literally just phoned support (Digicel's), who sometimes doesnt seem to have accurate information easily accessible indicated that Digicel's 4G data is available on their 1900 band. TBH, Im not very sure they are certain, and really and truly I am not either. Can I get some help with confirming if this can be used on other carriers comfortably re the radio config?
and if so, is there anything that can be done to have this use 4G on my network? I already did the *#*#4636 thing and ran through all possible network types. Still having the issue. Running lolli 5.0.1.
*Update
After having done some more research, I have found that the local service provider uses the 850 band for their 4G mobile data.
