[Q] Mobile Network not working on Nokia Lumia 521 - Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have a Nokia Lumia 521 mobile unlocked and using it in India. Since i wanted to try out 3g, i went to ##3282# menu and changed the setting to 3g only. But it didnt work out and the network wasnt picking up. So i changed it back to automatic. But the problem is that the network is still not picking up on my phone even though i have reverted the setting.
I got scared and i reset my phone as well. But still no luck. No network is showing up. Wifi and all r working fine.
Could somebody please help on an urgent basis as my phone is like dead now and i have reset it and so nothing is available on the phone..

HSDPA (3G) 900 / 2100 - RM-914 (520)
HSDPA (3G) 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 - RM-917 (521)
Well, if your mobile operator not have 2100 MHz band, then you can't use.

[Q] The Data Network is working only in CM6 ... WHY ??

Hello
I have AT&T Nexus One
my contry (UAE) network use HSDPA 900 / 1700 / 2100
When I use CM6 rom the mobile network data work great even in 2g
but when i download anther rom to it like Enomther's TheOfficial Nexus1 - v2.13.2 it dont work
i checked settings the data enabled is on
i dont know why
can any one help me fix this problem
have any one faced it ?
and thank you
Did you set up the APN for your mobile network correctly? Not all ROMs will have them set up automatically.
In 2100MHz coverage areas you should have 3G.
Thank you very much
it worked

[Q] Help, SGS has no signal sometimes

My phone is from UK orange. my phone has great signal at home and office.
However, after I upgraded to Froyo JPO version firmware, my phone has signal in my office with 3G but has no signal at home and some other places where the 3g signal is weak or not working. This is very annoying. Please anyone can help me?
My original firmware: JP5/JP3/JP1
My current firmware: XXJPO/XXJPP/XAJPO
MY Production code: I9000HKDORA
Tonight I try to flash lots of versions from samfirmware.com but there is no signal for all firmwares.
Please can anyone help me? It seems that my current wersion does not support 2G signal???
Thanks in advance
can you check your IMEI in the phone (settings>about phone>status) and compare it with the IMEI indicated in the box (or remove teh battery and there should be a sticker at the back of teh phone with your IMEI).
Note: Also check if your APN settings are correct and complete. It might have been deleted or changed after the flash.
I have checked the imei, it is the same. The apn is orangeinternet, I think it is correct.
When I go to somewhere, the phone can be used with symbol of 3g or E or H, but at home only signal bar shown and emergency call only.

It is GSM/WCDMA (auto mode) selected.
I remember I can only choose 3G and wireless network when I just flash the FROYO JPO firmware...
It is possible that orange are working on the network. I had similar issues a few weeks ago (I'm in the southeast) bit is now fine. You could go see your local orange guys and ask.

[Q] Virgin Mobile HTC Desire 510 on GSM Networks

I got a Virgin Mobile HTC Desire 510 4G NoContract Cell Phone Black at Best Buy during Black Friday. If I manage to get it SIM unlocked will it work with GSM networks? Has anyone done this?
Thanks!
No. From the looks of it, the Virgin Mobile variant is a CDMA only device. So it doesn't have the hardware necessary for GSM functionality.
Buddy but htc 510 is global device ...?
Any progress on checking with gsm networks.
HTC Desire 510 Virgin USA
Hi there,
I wish to know if you could guide me through some alternative approach to unlock for HTC Desire 510 Virgin Mobile.
This is a no contract phone with Virigin Mobile USA.
I am sure it has the GSM Capabilities as well, when I looked at the usermanual, it has an option where I Can go to settings and change if only GSM or CDMA can be used.
I purchased an unlock code from another service provider online. Followed the steps. When I insert another sim card, it does not prompt me to enter the Unlock Code and the phone keeps saying Invalid Sim.
Would you guys be able to help.
Are there any other options on your phone?
On your phone, do you have any options other than: LTE/CDMA and CDMA ?
Thanks !

Yeah sprint htc 510 can be unlocked but not for domestic use it can be unlocked for international use..!
Can it run on a GSM (instead of CDMA) network?

Ok, thank you! I know it can be unlocked, both the SIM and the boot loader, but that was not my question. The question has to do with the network. On the settings shows LTE/CDMA and CDMA; for it to work on a GSM network it would have to say something like GSM 2G, GSM 3G, GSM 4G or something like that.
GSM Option

I have the same question about this phone, I bought it on Cyber Monday and an Amazon Customer Agent told me that is a GSM phone. On the phone you can type * # * # 4 6 3 6 # * # * and a menu will show and you can change between some options include GSM/GPRS/LTE/CDMA/WCDMA.
Currently I'm searching the way to unlock it to use any network but still without nothing :crying:
If you have any option to us we placed you!!

Virgin HTC Desire 510
Hi All,
I am in exactly the same situation. Bought the phone expecting to unlock but not able to. I bought an unlock code but of course there is no prompt for the code. In network options I only have CDMA/LTE or CDMA.
Has anyone succeeded in unlocking?
Thanks!
Hello everyone.
As i didnt want to open an new topic because i found this one.
I am from Greece and i got this phone as gift from my uncle., the phone is setup at CDMA network and does not have the GSM/WCDMA setting. when i get into the *#*#INFO#*#* i can see there that i can change the network type to GSM/WCDMA/LTE but i dont know how to save it. does anyone know any method to make this one work properly?
Unlock GSM Bands
You don't have to do anything to save it. I would bet that you can change it and if you wait a little while it reverts back to CDMA. I think it reverts back because the frequencies needed for GSM/WCDMA/LTE are locked. I would recommend http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...ad-progress-please-leave-im-updating-t2871269 and unlocking the following bands:
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 2100
4G Network LTE 800 / 1800 / 2600
After you do that, my guess is that it will accept GSM/WCDMA/LTE. Beware that I have not done this, but that's what makes sense to me. Let us know the outcome. Good luck!

No I not finish, have a trouble with the step 10 in the tutorial, and cannot continue.
Do this:
adb shell
su
cd /sys/devices/virtual/android_usb/android0/f_diag
echo 1 > on

Windows should automatically try to find the drivers... if it does not use the drivers on the original post. If windows finds the drivers you should have a new Com port and you can go to step 14.

SM-G900F Radio fail!

Hi guys I bought a Q-sim dual adapter and now without the adapter or with it always tell me that it's not registered on the network. Cat make calls or anything. It's there any way to fix it? Maybe reflashing de radio? Please help!
Samsung SM-G900F
Android: 5.0
3.4.0-3624618(G900FXXU1BNL9)
LRX21T.G900FXXU1BNL9
Just google "s5 not registered on the network"
Follow the steps
Also it seems that you got the European variant. So you should get 2G and 3G just fine, and for LTE, it should lock on to the 850 since it is present. But you have to google and find att's APN and set your APN yourself (one time deal)
(Bands 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20) - SM-G900F
LTE 700 / 850 / 1700 / 1800 / 1900 / 2100 / 2600

Well, all I can think of at this point is
1- if your phone is reading the sim at all? (do you get the no SIM message?)
2- if yes, then is your phone locked to a specific carrier?
3- is you phone blacklisted?(do a free online ESN check to see if it is clean)
Well the phone is unlocked and reading the sim but it's strange because I'm traveling in other country using different sim card. I'm afraid it's backlisted.. What I could do?

Thanks
i don't understand how to do it
can you take screenshot from the access point pleas
thx i will try it and feed you back
i hope that works as i tried every thing from sim unlock using NV to de-branding but nothing works
Hi I seem to encounter the same situation, cannot get data for sim unlocked GSM for Sprint HTC10...here's some background info. I have 2 HTC10 purchased about 1 year ago (Phone A & B). At time of purchase I performed the NV sim unlock and verified data (freedompop att) on both.
Phone A (BL unlocked/s-on/factory recovery) is on stock Sprint ROM and GSM data works perfectly by adding the custom APN settings. On latest build.
Phone B (BL unlocked/s-on/twrp) is main phone was shorty twrp when purchased, ran BadBoyz rom for about a year on Sprint. Recently added FP sim back in & it would "show" to HSPA via signalchecker but mobile data could NEVER connected (even w/apn settings). Same SIM would work on Phone A. Had Sprint push out sim unlock just to be safe which was done successfully, same issue. So i thought maybe something screw up and RUU back to latest and still had same problem. Factory & network resets didn't fix either.
Been reading on the forums and seems like other people have the same issue, the only solution that I've seen mention was to flash a custom rom (non-Sprint?). Anyways after flashing Leedroid, it did finally worked, had mobile data attached via apn.
Anyways any ideas from anyone why mobile data GSM will not work/attach on some sim unlocked phones? I believe I returned Phone B back to factory but it behaves differently from Phone A.
