Does anyone have the same problems with the breeze that when you make a call it can drop it with no warning show "No service" and suddenly get it back straight away?
i have radio 1.38 installed, using a ORange UK 3G PAYG sim in a full coverage 2G area and 1-2 bars 3G area.
i have tried to set the thing to GSM only and 3G only but this doesn't solve it. has anyone......anyone out there figured a way to sort this?
or does anyone know of the possibility of getting a replacement from HTC that works?
cheers to anyone who can help

Same problem here, with Orange also, although on contract with them.
Please let me know if you find a solution. I emailed HTC, which I already know you have done, and you have had a replacement handset. This is not a good start for me
I had the best luck with my Sony Ericsson K610i. It was the best 3G Bluetooth Modem ever.. shame no Exchange ActiveSync/DirectPush
I have exactly same problem. Phone calls are dropped with no services message. And I have to restart phone at least once a week because my phone will fail to find any network. After reboot it works fine for a while. I have latest firmware with 1.38 radio. Phone is from O2 CZ.
Hi guys,
did you try to switch from 2G and 3G connection to 2G only? I assume this problem is caused by the network coverage while the Breeze is switching from 3G to 2G and vice versa. Me and some friends (Vodafone and T-Mobil) didn't discover these kind of problems.....
Cheers

Yes, I did it. But I still have to restart phone every week because phone lost signal.
I'm thinking about to flashing newer radio.
Hmm, we are using this version: "MTeoR_Upgrade_1.34.251.1_1.38.00.10_EUR_SHIP.exe" and it works well......
I bought nexus one from my friend.
I am currently using HD2 with 3g data.
When I plugged in my sim card to the n1, it only worked with edge.
So, I seared internet for some information and I found out something about "*#*#6436#*#*" and change the setting to WCDMA only. Then the phone got no signal at all, so I changed back to WCDMA preferred. Then I did ping test but it did not seem to work very well.
Then I played with some APN setting and I realized that I lost data connection completely (phone still working)
I have tried to reset the phone but no luck.
Can anyone please help me with the problem? I am using T-mobile.
Thank you.
Pull your battery, and look at the back of your phone. At the top of the dark area there are numbers, look at the PB or FCC ID numbers. If they end in 9110 then you have an AT&T version of the phone, and the hardware will not work with T-Mobile's 3G service...

are you in the USA? you need to list your location. it is likely that you purchased the wrong version of the nexus one. there is an ATT version and a tmobile version. each only works with the proper 3G. so an ATT n1 on tmobile only gets edge, and vice versa. check which version you own.
Hey, I'm in Australia (GSM) and I purchased a Motorola Droid 3 (XT862) from America a few months ago.
Should I have bought the XT860 (GSM version)?
I was with Optus but because they don't support the 850mhz network I switched to Vodafone because they had it. So now I atleast have data working on my phone after those months of not having it, but vodafone sucks, especially on this phone (text messages sometimes don't send/signal cuts out all the time) but the 3G is very good.
The phone I previously had before the Droid 3 was a HTC Tmobile G2 which I had also bought from America, and everything worked perfectly.
If I buy the XT860 will it fix everything?
On the Motorola website it says the XT862 and XT860 have the same networks... but the XT680 is supposed to be used on GSM, so would it work fine?
Sorry if I confused anyone, I'm really baked.
Thanks in advance for anyone trying to help
Maybe you could try the T-MOBILE AT&T hack?

i have XT 862, on GSM and it works perfectly. More than that, I use also vodafone
The xt860 (and xt883) would not be any better; all they (along with the xt862) support UTMS 850/1900/2100mHz. Thus, you probably didn't get a lot of 3G on the Optus network (which uses 900/2100mHz). The main Vodafone 3G network in Aus is 900/2100mHz, but they are in the process of rolling out an 850mHz network.
Telstra Next-G uses 850mHz (and they have 2100mHz as well, but only in cities I believe)
Anyway, in brief: If you're willing to switch to Telstra, you should get great results. If not, Vodafone is the next best option.
I have xt862 on optus in Austraia. I just stay in global mode. I did experiment around with some of the custom roms but found weirdnesses like my calls not coming thru. I went back to stock and now im going to stay on stock until cm9 reaches release. Im not having any issues on stock.
Hope this helps

Just did it, I suppose it improved the situation a tiny bit, but i'm not sure.
I will do some tests on the Telstra network, see if it's better than Vodafone.
Im using the phone in Global mode atm and I'm getting a decent 3-4 bars instead of the 1 or 2 i'd normally get which excites me
And the network type is displaying HSPA.
But I cannot send text messages, everytime, it just says "Text message not sent" which is very annoying. Anyone know anything about this? When I swapped over to Vodafone from Optus I could send texts but after a point it just stopped working...
Anyone know anything about this?
thanks
So does the droid 3 bought from usa connect to data services with optus at all?
How fast is data transfer in "global" mode?
late reply i know, but I'm on TPG [Optus network] in Qld, Aus with the droid 3 XT862.
from memory, all i've done is done the 'hack' to show actual reception, rather than 1 bar. I run the phone on the global setting.
I just ran a speedtest.net check, got an internode server in Sydney. ping 139ms, DL 5241kbps, UL 1202kbps.
OP, when you were with Optus, did you go through your account settings and make sure you had 3G data turned on for your phone, etc? I'm not trying to patronise or anything, but it always helps to start with the basics when fault finding.
Regards,
Hi All,
Im also in Australia, with Vodafone, and am looking at getting myself a Droid 3 as well.
Since the phones aren't released here, what happens about software updates? Im assuming they won't happen via OTA?
Im leaning towards the XT860, rather than the XT862, any particular reason to go for either?
Thanks,
cevad

No difference between them but the xt860 has more dedicated roms here. Both are the same phone and just build.prop edits are needed to get the phones up and running in 5 mins. OTA updates will still work anywhere tho if you root and mod your phone don't use use the OTA feature as you will screw your phone.
All you need to do select wcdma/gsm mode and manually put in your service provider APNs to get 3G. Find this on the Voda site.
Best place to find your APN is here:

I managed to get a xt862, but I cant get data working on optus? (live connected)
calls/text works - tried global mode, tried GSM/UMTS mode, tried manually selecting optus 3g network, made sure the data setting was enabled which is actually under "battery & data manager". Already manually input the optus apn.
what am I missing?
Do you have to do the tmobile at&t hack? running everything stock from factory; or will rooting the phone/install ics help?
I have the one bar reception bug which I read on another thread if that makes a difference.
nvm, got it to work, for some reason manually inputting an APN didnt work, had to find the optus site and send it via sms.
Speed isnt too bad.
The next problem now though is wireless hotspot. It connects but no data goes through for some reason

If the xt862 is the verizon version, I have read that verizon have blocked the hotspot stuff from working.
The Story
I bought the phone second hand off a bloke and basically got screwed over. I was originally planning to give it to my brother however, that fell through so when I decided to test it out several months after buying it and discovered that:
a) the phone couldnt get cellular data with my provider (the main provider of Australia)
b) the phone's imei had been blocked/disconnected by the other main provider network
There wasn't much I could do. So now I have a phone that I can't fully use (no data), can't sell off (unless I do it for parts).
The Issue
I have a HTC One that works with my Australian provider Optus (calls and texts work fine), however, I cannot use cellular data on 3G (900MHz and 2100MHz). I'm pretty sure I was sold a 801n (M7_UL), which I *think* should be fine to work with the 900 and 2100 frequencies (please correct me if I'm wrong).
So basically I would much appreciate it if anyone can help me determine what the issue is with my phone and how to fix it so I can get cellular data on it using Optus (I don't have any issue with rooting the phone as it is basically worthless to me in this state)
Thanks for any help you guys can give!
We can't really help you with a stolen phone.
Having said that, 900 and 2100MHz should be supported for 3g, maybe it's a problem with your APN settings.
Hi everyone,
I'm having some trouble using a S4 Active from AT&T with a french provider.
I live in france, and this device was bought over the Internet. At the time of the purchase, nothing told me that this was a foreign phone.
Now I have this phone, which works perfectly with newer 4G networks, wifi and text messages. But, when I'm in an area with 3G only, then the phone connects in Edge. Furthermore, MMS messages, when sending photos, won't work whatever network I'm connect to. Strangely, it's ok if the message contains only smileys.
The device is running under the official AT&T Android 4.3 (I537UCUBML2). It doesn't want to upgrade to the latest 4.4 version (though I don't really think this might solve my main problem).
Does anyone have any clue ? A solution ?
Thank you.
