tmobile sim in att tilt problems!

Help! Unlocked Tilt Problems
i recently purchased a tilt online and it is brand new everything is fine with the phone but i unlocked the phone because my company switched from att to tmobile, so before i unlocked the phone my att 3g sim card worked fine with the phone, wifi worked fine 3g icon came up in network bubble at the top taskbar...but after i unlocked the phone and placed the tmobile sim card in the tilt, no Edge or gpsr icon shows up at the top next to the signal strength icon and when i click on wifi and go online everything works fine but after i go back to commanager to turn off the wifi....the wifi icon doesnnt go away from the top taskbar..its just shows the no signal wifi icon when the wifi is off. So then i took the tmobile sim card out and placed the cingular sim back in the phone and when i click on the wifi button and then press it again in commanager to turn wifi off the icon, it goes away like normal....so is there something wrong with my tmobile sim card? which is why its not showing any edge or gprs icons for some reason? even though i dont have a data plan i should see when i am in an edge area...what is annoying me the most is when i place this tmobile sim in the tilt, the wifi icon wont go away when the wifi is being turned off in wireless manager. PLz help this is very strange and i cant seem to find out how to gain these icons and lose the wifi icon when wifi isnt on.

wow are u serious nobody has had prblems with the wifi icon not going away or any other icons not going away when there not supposed to be turned on? ..this is a huge forum i know i can find someone to help me figure out why this tmmobile sim card is doing this to my phone and not allowing the wifi icon to go away from the top task bar when i go into comm manager and press the wifi off button it doesnt work...the wifi radio itself turns off and theres no data being sent to the phone from the wireless router but the icon stays on the phone and the only way to get rid of the icon is to go in comm manager and press the phone button to turn of all connections to my phone. This problem only occurs with my current tmobile sim card which is being used in an ATT 8925 unlocked tilt PLZ somebody help me get rid of this problem

I am not one to help because I am also a noob and your issues are not ones I have seen. BUT - let me give you what help I can:
Recommendations -
1. use punctuation.
2. use concrete sentences
3. specifically tell what you did and enumerate each problem separately
4. indicate what ROM you are using
5. indicate what changes you made to your phone AFTER you went to the TMOBILE card
Now - here are some guesses -
1. you had an AT&T phone with AT&T connection strings - and you think that unlocking the phone and simply putting in a TMOBILE card will make the phone work?
My guess is that you are going to have to change some data connection strings at least? AT&T is not going to allow you to use media net to surf the internet with no contract using a TMobile card.
Remember - you are asking people to use their spare time to help you fix YOUR screwup. Make it easy for them to read and help you.

You should not start more than one thread asking for help - you not only will not get helped - you will need an asbestos suit...
Here is your other thread:

BTW: you are still not using puctuation to its best use and carriage returns to make your questions identifiable and easy to read.

Very well said...
moegdaog:
run this cab file on your phone and after doing a Soft Reset, go to Start>Settings>Connections>Connection Setup and choose T-Mobile from the list if the program doesnt run on its own.
Thanks to Dutty for putting this together for us to share with the ones not familiar with it.

that didnt work...all it did was add tmobile data to my connections. My wifi icon still doesnt go away from top taskbar when i turn wifi off. Since i unlocked this att phone an im using a tmobile sim card, do u think i should install the official tmobile windows mobile 6 for HTC phones? seems that this tmobile sim card is the culperate of making this wifi error, because when i take this sim out and place an old cingular sim in the phone it doesnt do this error. Wifi turns off when its suppose to and no icons hang around. If anybody has ever heard of this problem plz help...i dont want to go to the last resort of switching to WM 6.1 right now or something i like WM6

I will bet that you are not going to get help -
1. you use run on sentences that are VERY difficult to read
2. you do not specifically state your problem or goal
3. you state "that did not work" you do not QUOTE what you were trying so no one knows what THAT is (although I am suspecting that you ran the suggested cab file)
You need to:
1. use EXPLICIT SHORT sentences
2. engage the CARRIAGE RETURN KEY
3. enumerate your issues
4. tell us what you want to happen - we CANNOT guess what you have hosed up
5. Not an expert - so you will need someone else to tell you that this is true - but each company "brands the device and makes it so that the phone works with their system. If you are leaving AT&T and going with TMOBILE I suspect that you MAY need to flash to a ROM that works specifically with TMOBILE BUT
SPECIFICALLY STATE what you want - for example:
I have an HTC TILT - it was an AT&T phone and I want it to work on TMOBILE -
Currently - nothing works on the phone and here is what i have done.....
or
Currently everything works on the phone EXCEPT...
Just my opinion and I am going to quit responding to your message (which you may actually appreciate) as it is obvious that they have no effect.

dood whk im not in english class....im on an online forum trying to get help to fix my phone..get a clue or get a life cuz obviously u have nothing better to do but tell people to use punctuation when im obviously not worried about how i type in a freakin forum u jerkoff...and for have this thread up for a week and getting limited help on what i ACTUALLY NEED HELP ON MY ATT TILT AND WHY A TMOBILE SIM MAKES MY WIFI ICON NOT GO AWAY WHEN IM DONE WITH WIFI AND TRY TO TURN IT OFF..THE DATA STOPS BUT THE ICON DOESNT GO AWAY FROM THE TOP OF MY PHONE...IT JUST STOPS SEARCHING FOR SERVICE WHEN I PRESS THE WIFI OFF BUTTON...there, so i guess i need to use a new rom and flash a radio or wutever that is....that conection setup cab only put tmobile data in my conections. It did nothing to switch att defaults in the phone to tmobile, thnx anywayz guy who gave me that app....if anyone has had these issues with tmobile sims plz respond and not reply with english lessons

well no one is goin to read that type of garbage if its just one bigass blurb of words together...i'm with whk...and caps doesnt help either...maybe thats why no one wants to help u...and if u cant be bothered about the way u type...we cant be bothered to give u assistance ...just a headsup

well i solvd the problem myself by changing radios...thats all sommebody had to say..some of you arre a buncha idiots like whk....i didnt post this thread to get grammer lessons, i posted to get some damn help you morons so if u wana tell people how to type go to a fckin word proccessing forum u flamers

Good luck here in the forums, if you can't manage to follow something as basic as proper grammar and spelling, no one will bother reading what you have to say.
I for one, read MAYBE the first sentence in your posts apart from the last, and I'm certain I'm not alone.
and FYI, a better attitude will get you along ways here if you intend to stay. Your current attitude could likely result in a ban, and that causes issues when you need help.

dood....
You really need to read the links in my signature BEFORE you waste any more time on this forum.
I seriously suspect this is not the place for you as we actually expect you to have 3rd grade or better communications skills. Several members have attempted to help you but you don't seem to grasp simple concepts.
Thread closed as it is pointless. I would suggest you spend some time reading the forums if you really want to solve YOUR problems. The answers you seek can be found using search (and better language skills).

Thread closed due to rudeness!
moegdaog - consider this an official warning!
Please use polite language or you will be banned.
And in the future consider this simple fact:
No one can see your device so if you don't do your best to describe the problem no one can help you.
Also big chunks of continues text are hard to read and most people just give up.
Try to break up you posts in the future.

Grayed out HSDPA icon

Hi all,
Now and then (quite often lately) it happens that my top bar 'H' icon for my HSDPA connection gets grayed out.
It happens when there's no active data connection and as long as it is grayed out, I cannot use data since any attempt results in the message that the connection couldn't be started due to an unknown problem.
While searching through the forums and Google I couldn't find any topic regarding this issue.
The only way to get the normal 'H' icon and a useable data connection is either a soft reset or to switch off and on the phone (comm manager) again.
I have had this problem with all official ROM's (1.35, 1.37 and 1.93).
Note: I don't believe it's on the carrier side, since I have never had such a problem before, with all kinds of devices I have used in the past. The Diamond is the first device for me showing the grayed out icon and all...
See the attachment for a screenshot.
Anyone? Thanks!

Had a search and found this.......
It is possible to find other cases of what your experiencing, just its also called Grey Icon or Black Icon.
Heres the results of my search:

This was a problem when I first had my Diamond, I turned off HSDPA and everything was fine on 3G, and since updating my ROM my Diamond has been fine.
Hope some of the posts above help fix the problem your having.
Good luck!

hi mate,
dont know if this is any use to you or not but i was having some problems with my phone messaging and so i got a new sim card from my operator. I rang them and asked them to activate it for me and i was told my old card would become useless once it was activated. I noticed that once my new card was activated i had that very same icon appear when my old sim card was switched off. Try getting a new sim card as it worked for me

Notification Icon?

Hi,can anyone tell me what the notification number means on my phone (No.1).I have had my phone for over a month and it has been there since the first time i switched it on from new.I have been looking at other members homescreens and no one else seems to have this? Picture of my homecreen will show you what i mean
regards mick

I think it's indicating what Line you are using on your phone
Some operators like Orange give you the ability to have 2 phone numbers/lines on 1 simcard

Cannot understand why it would be that as i have had the same sim card/same network on PAYG for years in lots of other phones aswell,strange but i need to know how to get rid of it sick of seeing it now.

Well i tried a different sim card and the number is still in the notification bar! Anyone else have any idea what it could be?

Not got a clue pal, i've never seen that before.
Does factory resetting your phone get rid of it? If not it's probably sim-card related.

yes, can confirm that..although LG´s way to implement this in statusbar is very odd..

Found it under settings/additional settings there is an option to select line 1 or 2 but no option to remove it from notification area.By selecting line 2 it just says call settings error unexpected response from network.If i call my network would they be able to do anything to remove the double line setting if it has anything to do with my sim?
thanks to all replies
mick

to get rid of that, I would:
- edit frameworks
or
- make a morph

How do i do that? bit of a newbie still learning,phone is rooted and running Modaco's custom rom FR15 but any chance of explaining more on editing framework ?

[Q] strange sim notification

my sim packed a sad yesterday and would not make any calls or join the network, i had it replaced and since have had a strange icon in the notification area, when i check it there is no message and no option to clear it? when i get other notifications i can clear all and it'll go away for a short time but always comes back, it looks like a sim with a small gear on the bottom right, can anyone help?

Your sim is empty, thats all

Thanks but sadly not, the sim comes pre programmed with voicemail and customer services etc which are showing up

Have you checked your APN settings? Sometimes they have to be manually entered. If the APN list is empty its pretty easy to search for the settings using some good ol' googlin'
Sent from the best hardware blessed with the best software using the SEXIEST THUMBS IN THE WORLD!

I had those set up and working already, i've checked and their still there and working

Bump! can anyone else offer and explanation?

GS6 Active Network Issues Unlocked

Hello! I Had my Blue Camo GS6 Active 64 Stolen last sunday, Bought A White GS6 Active 64GB Model to hold me over and its in real good condition. But its Network Unlocked and noticed the setting on my 32GB Black And my old Blue 64 phone were set to GSM/UMTS. This for some reason is stuck on WCDMA? I Don't even see a GSM/UMTS Option and was wondering what i should do here?
I Did a few system updates thinking it may automatically work but whoever had the phone before must of changed something, even a Factory Reset didn't solve the issue. So i get the phone in the mail, power it on and everythings good no SIM yet but it had 4 bars, Pop in the AT&T SIM and restart and bam No Signal at all. I Changed it to GSM And get nothing. I Notice if i set to LTE/UMTS When i'm up the road it actually pops up 4G LTE And works too! But i get home and Poof No Bar. Its probably cause it usually does get knocked down when i walk inside to 4G But never no bar.
Anyway i can Flash a Stock OEM Modem? Or a way to force the Network settings to Reset to OEM? Had this... well that GS6 Active for 3 years never had an issue but mine was AT&T Network Locked i never unlocked it. This is Network Unlocked and notice a lot of what seems to be Foreign Networks? Network settings I've never seen before that's for sure.
Help will be appreciated!
Really need this to just work by Monday and AT&T Support sucks lol! Best buy couldn't help me, 3 AT&T Stores couldn't help me cause they don't sell it anymore and i didn't buy from them. But i know its fixable i mean i get signal if i flip around to the WCDMA Setting when i'm home, And before i walk outside i hit LTE/UMTS and i do get a 4G LTE Signal when i get up the street. but i'd rather it Automate like it did before so i don't have to keep doing this.

Yeah this sucks, Like Mint White 64GB S6 Active. Just this i didn't expect. I've Switched sim cards back and forth, took the sim out and tried to change the band but that doesn't work. I've gotten to the Network System menu and put everything on Auto. I Have it set to LTE/UMTS and i get nothing, i take the SIM Out and restart, 4 bars are there. put the SIM In and Boom no signal. I've tried to change the GSM/UMTS Band to Automatic but it just says Unsuccessful. But i have that feeling if i can get it to say Successful it will work.
Anyway to use my laptop to connect via ADB And Force the band to change to auto? Or anyway to get it to stick to Stock settings? I Still suspect whoever had this before did something to the Radio and Network settings and i can't figure it out for the life of me. AT&T sure won't help me lol! And Samsung just wants me to bring it to a repair shop. While i was actually at a few repair shops around here and they know nothing about these.
It's the only phone i'm comfortable with. The S8 Active is ok but without physical buttons it doesn't really serve me like this did... and i don't really care for Bixby button can't be customized. Also noticed Otterbox doesn't make Defender series cases for it so i'd have a bit of trouble getting a beefy case on it.

Ahhh.... i get some signal in WCDMA Preferred. Fixed a SMSC Issue so text's go out and i receive them if i move around a lot.
Signals still bad not like it used to be. Why do i get a Signal On WCDMA But not GSM Auto Or LTE/UMTS? Is there anyone that can help me get to any advanced network option's or a way to change the Band to Automatic? I Try to select Automatic Band which is the default i believe and it just says Unsuccessful.

Have you tried just refalshing stock rom???
I know you already have done this but sometimes it doesn't work first time(few have mentioned issues that took several flashes to solve it)
The reason folks are not replying is quite possible know one has any idea why this has happened.
I had an s6 Active that everything worked other then 4G and nothing worked.. It was a factory refurbed and Unlocked. And no matter what I did it simply would not worked... I returned it and go a replacement... It suggested it had been damaged internaly in someway..
Can you return yours for a replacement/refund???
Sorry am not actually able to help.
regards
Lohtse

I might return it. I figured out why messages were not sending i messed up the smsc settings lol!
Very unique issue here i see 4G pop up and i get calls and data flows. Sometimes 4G LTE magically appears and everything stops working till 4G shows up.
Pretty hard to find this GS6 Active in 64GB anymore.
If i take my sim card out and dial *#*#2636*#*# i think? Or it might be *#*#0011*#*# it brings up network options. I notice if my sim cards in that menu shows up empty. Something maybe wrongly set in there but not sure how to tell. Never found a way to successfully set the GMS/UMTS Band. And with no way to really root it or change anything through the pc is probably going to make this even more difficult. Phones in great condition though i dont think theres damage i believe its a network setting somewhere i missed... or at&t sucks lols! Every sense i got robbed on the 18th its been nothing but a big problem getting a phone working again.

Reflashing stock rom? Like Android 5? Its in Android 7.0.1 now. Id be interested in doing this but going back that far is spooky i dont wanna destroy it. Ive seen people say its possible and others say its not possible to go back.
That would probably work though! When i got my S6 Active Camo Blue 64gb New it was Android 5.0.1 and i think more network options were available. Then in 7.0.1 they all disappeared.
Never had issues on that phone i can't believe it was robbed from me. Not like i dropped it or lost it either it was robbed from me! Police did nothing even with the fact they threatened to kill me and everything. Police did nothing... and after 14 hour shift im not exactly ready to fight with 5 people.
