Hi, looking for some assistance (again). I have had issues with getting the correct data network on my phone.
The phone is a HTC One M7, I bought it sim free in the UK.
I have put a virgin mobile sim card in the phone and the only network that comes up is EXT, when I try to connect it states that my SIM is not allowed a connection to this network. This only happens where I stay which is out of town. I had the same issue with a TELUS sim too. The only one that works is a Rogers one but I only get EDGE.
In the city they all work fine giving me LTE or HSPA+.
Please could somebody assist?

Hi, all,
I have a quick question:
I was in Smith, Nevada recently, using a G1 with a Tmobile SIM card, and the phone did not get service. However, the phone did say that there was an ATT network present, and my friend's phone got reception just fine. However, when I tried to manually switch to the ATT network on my phone, I got a message saying that the sim card does not allow me to register on the network. How can I make the phone register on the ATT network when there is no Tmobile service?
Thanks,
Tekgek
Allow roaming? Best answer I got.
You could buy a cheap pay as you go att phone and swap the sim in yours.
Errrm, I think roaming is enabled. Is there a hack or something that can override the sim card's programming?
I was one of the lucky ATT users to get an unlock code from ATT. The phone works perfectly with a US Tmo sim card. However, the problem began when i started putting in other sim cards. When i put in a Cellcom (u)sim card (Israel)i got a message "com.android.phone has stopped". I was unable to do anything because the error kept popping up. So i switched to an Orange (again Israel) (u)Sim. THe phone turned on without any errors but its not finding any networks. I try to go to the Network settings but the "Default Setup" option is not available.
Can anyone help me with this issue? I am going overseas on Monday and need to use one of these Sims.
(BTW- I am currently in the US but im assuming that wouldnt be an issue in trying to setup a sim card)
Thank you
I'm pretty sure if you put an Israel sim card in in the united states that it will not find the networks because Israel use a different frequency than the united states .
The type of sim card should have nothing to do with the frequency. That is determined by the type of phone you are using.

Sorry, no. The frequency is determined by what the cell tower for that carrier is running. For instance United states GSM is 850/1900. Israel is GSM 900/1800.
I'm using orange which is 850 also. Anyways why would I still be locked out the settings for changing the network info?

HI, GUYS,
so I just got this unlocked HTC ONE from HTC shop
and I am currently using T-mobile, but I have issues with 3g
i used to have HTC desire z and 3g works fine,
and I went to shop, change my sim card to micro sim card so that i can use it in HTC ONE
BUT, everything works perfect excepted 3g
mobile network only can find T-mobile 2g network and at&t 2g/3g/4g network when i search the network operators
and i am not going to do roaming.
I tried to change VPN but it doesn't work
I also tried tweakker, but for some reason, it kept saying my wifi didn't connect to internet but it did connect to internet..
so could somebody help me
i didn't root my phone yet, and the rom is official rom
Software number 1.29.1540.16
thanks
You're not going to like this answer, but the unlocked HTC one lacks the 1700 band needed for T-Mobile 3G. The good news is T-Mobile is in the process of reforming their network so your phone should get 3G by quarter 3 2013. Until then you could try an AT&T mvno or return it and buy one from T-Mobile that has the required bands.

Hi everyone,
I bought myself a nexus 4 and I gave the P990 to my girlfriend.
I did a factory reset and inserted her SIM card (the mobile operator is called Free, a french operator), and I got a "roaming" symbol in the network. This was with the combination I have in my signature.
I've been trying different basebands today, and now I can't get any reception at all, it just says "No network".
Now I'm with DjangoManouch stock rom, 218 baseband, still no network with Free's sim card, but I tried with my sim card and it's working perfectly... I tried Free's sim card in my nexus 4 and it is also working perfectly...
I did get "normal" reception using the combination in my sig with free's sim card at a specific location... my best guess is that free's cell towers need a very specific baseband for it to work correctly? Do you have any ideas?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Cheers!
Slight update, the total network loss was solved by changing to the correct IMEI (it must have been reset by one of the flashes I did).
But the "roaming" problem is still there Manually selecting the network solves it temporarily. Has anyone ever had a similar situation?
Thanks!!
Did some more research... apparently her network has very limited coverage, and for the areas where it is not covered it has a deal with another operator, Orange.
So, whenever she doesn't have "official" coverage, she'll get the roaming symbol. And apparently they have an app to avoid people in the border to get reception from foreigner operators, which would mean "real" roaming, which is odd and interesting.
Anyways, hope it will help someone...
Ok guys very strange and a little bit of a long winded story here......
So I am from the UK and have a factory sim free HTC One M7, used in the UK on EE no issues.
I am travelling in Canada so decided to get a Telus Prepaid Sim card, went to the store had it activated and installed today and it was working fine for about 3 hours in Medicine Hat. As I drove out the city it began to lose signal, now the only network I can see under carriers is Rogers.
I tried the sim in my friends phone (samsung s3) and it works fine and picks up signal immediately.
So it MUST be a phone issue, can someone please help me find a solution?

so that means either your phone is locked and it does not allow for overseas carriers. reason you see rogers is thats roaming mode on and connected to Rogers.

Also I bought the phone new sim free???

go to settings and go to apn settings. is it specific to telus? i had kitkat installed but apn settings never saved or let me change it. it was a bug. But in custom roms it was fixed.
anyways these are the apn settings for telus:

option 2) try other sims Bell, rogers, koodoo, fido. if they work then its unlocked phone.
factory reset if anything.
Out of Telus coverage?

Ok I gave up with it in the end and sold the sim card to a friend.
I bought a Rogers sim card as the phone was picking that up quite easily, ow my issue is I am only getting an EDGE connection when I am in an area that supports HSPA+
I'm really beginning to despair.
