just wrote bloody long post and pc crashed in internet cafe-
so gonna write a short one now.
i am running darkforce wm6-very stable does what i want it to do in the uk
howvever in stockholm at present and cannot browse internet or send/recieve email for what will amount to the same the problem.
the handset is obvioulsy unlocked and with t-mobile,but when abroad last year with different wm5 roms -no problems everything worked fine,have spoken to t-mobile who are about as much use as a choclate tea pot
1) when trying to connect to internet-it does nothing-if i force the connection and get it use the csd t-mobile -i get 'failed to dial' message
2) when trying to retrive pop3 email(no exchange server involved) get new message about extra charge as roaming and then it try to connect for a spilt second before displaying error syncronising
i can roam all networks pick everything up?
please help people
hello,
I've no probleme with data connection when roaming my provider is SFR (france) and roaming provider is proximus (belgium).
Have you trying with another roaming provider ?
as many as i can try telia,vodafone se ,iq etc etc
no joy-beginning toi think it is to do with t-mobile
also without stating the obvious, as and when i can find a free wifi-everything works
are you having prob only with your data connection?? back in uk (?) were you using 3g or gprs and lastly in setting/phone/ is the band set to wcdma (3g) or gprs
in uk had set data to auto all have tried every over type- but still does not explain why it worked seamless before -it either is something within the wm6 rom(i doubt) or t-mobile(proable)
but as i m traveling as soon as i get back i would like to get to the bottom of it.
It may not be your Universal - it may be your provider
Did you inform T-Mobile that you were going overseas? They need to activate international roaming on your account...
I've seen this problem before (working in a phone shop and all...), a customer from country xxxxx can't make\receive calls - because international roaming is not active on their account
Roaming worked on WM5, now not on WM6
Hi
I had similar problems. While Roaming previously (From SA (MTN), roaming in Mauritius (on Cellplus and Emtel) under WM5, I had no problems with SMS (text) or data calls.
Recently upgraded to WM6 (Laurentius' V7 VideoCall) and when landing in Mauritius last week, I could not send SMS(text) or connect data. It picked up the network. I did not test normal voice calls, since I usually dont make any while roaming. I simply used my sim card in a different handset for the week, but it was very frustrating, since Ive come to rely heavily on data access while travelling overseas (for email, skype, etc)

Could also be Radio Ver
Hi all, Could you all edit your posts and enter your Radio SStack Ver ?
And if you can remember what Ver you were on when it used to work on WM5.
As stated in the post, the 1.18 Stack had updates for roaming, I haven't had a chance to test it myself, could anyone provide feedback on roaming with 1.18.
Cheers,
Beast
dark force(excellent) and radio 1.15 will try upgrade as leave country in a few weeks
I roam between China, Hong Kong and Taiwan a lot. It appears data works better with some local service providers only. So what I do is when travelling to a new place, know which local providers data network 'roams' better with my China Mobile, by manually selecting, and trying, one by one, on the phone control panel, network selection part. Once I found one that worked, then I manually fix to that one.
Now everytime I travel to a different region, I just do, phone control panel->network->manual-> choose the known good one.
I hope this works in your situation and network providers.

Have 4 problems with my unlocked htc S710 phone:
1) Problem is I can not get the phone to work on one of my gsm providers - my home provider actually. They currently operate on the 1800/900 band. I will see the network (when set manually) get full signal and detect gprs but for some reason I can not make or receive any calls.
Has anyone had this problem ?? .... and what can I do to fix it??
2) Using the other gsm providers SIM the phone actually works (makes and receives call, surfs the net) - provider operates on the 1900/850 band. Problem is it shows a roaming symbol on the phone.
Why is that there? and how can I remove it?
3) When using WiFi i find i can not surf or retrieve mail as my office uses a proxy setting. I have attempted to setup for the proxy but still not working and the manual does not show you.
current settings
call from : work
call to : the internet
proxy name/port: <name>:8080
type: http
username/password saved
Can somone tell me what I am possibly doing wrong?
4) Why cant i select the GSM band I want to use like in Mobile 5 .... i can t even find the option ?

Problem with this update is I am in JAMAICA, i do not see my providers. We have (2) GSM providers Cable & Wireless Jamaica and Digicel Jamaica.
What you suggest ??
does your provider have to register IMEI's of phones?
it may restrict what phones you can use with them

Digicel not supporting WM6 devices
The problem is that currently Digicel is not supporting the radio firmware embedded in WM6. I found this out after upgrading my HTC P4350 to WM6 to find that I had no connectivity. I ended up being forced to downgrade to WM5. As the S710 is not available with WM5, your only option is to switch to C&W.

Thanks for the response. I was forced to switch to C&W cause the support people and Digicel had NO CLUE ... sad really ... i guess we now know who is the better network! But tell me something i noticed when using C&W the roaming symbol appears on the phone. This does not stop any features from working but i just wanted to know if you had that problem and if so how did you get rid of it.
same here. i too am facing same problem.. when i have vodafone sim i can make incoming n outgoing call but when i change to airtel i get the probs.
guyz help me out with this probs.
thnx
have posted before-running darkforce(excellent)
however when abroad(sweden,spain most of europe) the phone cannot establish a data connection for either email or internet yet displays all the right signs -the triangle for roaming 3g etc
i am reposting because the last reponse was to try the latest radio 1.18-I have and still the same problem
I am with t-mobile who insist every is set up to work abroad(which it did on the original rom-but that rom was sooo bad)
all network setting are set to auto-it picks up every network going but makes no difference.
can people confirm what roms they use abroad?
what operator is their primary?
thanks
roaming- the same problem
hi!
I have the same problem. I posted a message in here, but still without any response. It is really great problem for someone, who travel all the time and cannot check his e-mails
I just buyed Touch Pro / Raphael from vodafone with or without branding, I am not sure, because I paid full price without provision and vodafone hotline told me that they do not have something blocked.
At the moment I need to use it with my t-mobile sim card until I could move with my number to vodafone.
I can do phone calls and also can receive emails from a pop3 account, after I received a sms from t-mobile with "correct" internet settings,
but I am not able to start eighter internet explorer or opera to get internet access. When I download my emails, it seems to be connected trough t-mobile roaming partner etisalat. Crazy.
When I use a prepaid vodafone sim card, opera will run, of course I changed back to vodafone settings.
My problem is that I need support, because I am on a business trip in dubai and need to have internet access with my phone, otherwise I need to ask someone in the lobby to use his connection.
Do I need something like supercid or what is the reason for that??
Many thanks for your support in advance!!
ROM 1.90.162.5 Ger
09/24/08
Radio 1.02.25.19
Protocol 52.33.25.174
Is nobody able to answer this question, or is it too stupid?
I really need support, because it is very important for me to have internet access.
PLEASE HELP!!
dont really understand your problem...
but, you either have your device set to raoming or you are out side of tmobile coverage and it austomatically puts you onto the roaming carrier. this roaming carrier may be blocking data...
I also do not understand that issue. Roaming is working, also with data, because I tried to get access with a umts card from someone else.
Could this be a question branding and what is to do to recover it? Sometime ago you could do this yourselve (for my old wizard), but meanwhile it looks only like earning money, right?
Tomorrow I will leave and then I try at home again.
Hi,
I'm Using the HTC Touch Pro on the Dutch "Telfort" network, but because this is actually the KPN network the Touch pro, is always using roaming options.
When using activesync to connect to exchange server for direct push (3G), the phone will not stay connected. Selecting "Use above settings when roaming" On the activesync schedule page doesn't seem to work.
I tried some registry options, to never ask roaming questions but I think those are for regular mail accounts.
is there a way to:
*) Trick the phone into thinking it isn't roaming
or
*) have the phone not disconnect or use EXACT settings when roaming.
When I switch simcard with a dutch T-mobile or Vodafone, Activesync will work just fine.
If your sim-card is an old Telfort card, requesting a new sim-card may solve your problem.
I could try
I could try and see if that will solve my problem.
But I really doubt it. I just signed for this contract 2 months ago. (only active for a couple of days now)
If there are any dutch Telfort users here with a raphael (touch pro) and can confirm that their phone isn't thinking it's roaming I would like to hear that. maybe there is still some hope left
Hi there.
I've a problem with my O1.
I've updated it to Gingerbread V20C stock and have a problem with the mobile internet connection.
My mobile operator is H3G italy. When there is no signal under H3G network it swap to another operator for roaming and the 3G connection drop. No problem till there, 'cos i disabled data roaming.
But when the H3G connection come back, it does not connect to internet. I've checked several times for apn parameters and they are ok, and it isn't a network problem for sure.
Any hint?
Sorry for my poor english, i hope you can understand my question as well...
3G problem with GingerLOL 1.5 (Vietnam)
Hi all,
I'm come from Vietnam. I met problem with 3G connection after install GingerLOL 1.5 ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118685).
Everything seems Ok except 3G connection.
Is there any one met the same problem ? If you knew solution for it, pls share it with me.
Thank you very much,
Hi all,
I am sorry, I have just found out the solution.
We should change APN setting, it can't detect it automatic.
In Vietnam, pls refer : tinhte.vn/thay-doi-nang-cap-firmware-280/p500-huong-dan-flash-rom-2-3-3-official-cua-lg-romania-root-753413
Other countries should take Mobile provider factor of your countries.
Thank you,
It's not a apn settings problem. My apn settings are ok and 3g connection work till the telephone lost h3g network and switch to other operator. When it come back to h3g i have the voice services but no 3g connection at all.
1) If you are not in roaming then turn off roaming, if you are in roaming then turn in on see it is working or not.
2) Just select on 2G from setting and check EDGE is working for you or not. If both the the things have same problem then talk to your ISP and confirm another phone has the same problem or you are only one who is facing this problem.
3) Some times your carrier change their APN without any notice so check they have same APN or not.
I'm sure it's not a network problem because other phones or the same phone with Froyo works with no problem at all.
With 2.3 i have 3g connection until i'm in a point where the default operator (H3G italy) have no signal so the telephone switch to the roaming operator. There the internet connection drop (i've disabled data connection while in roaming), but it's ok.
If the telephone switch again to the default operator i have no problem at all with voice services, but the 3G network connection don't come back until i reboot my O1. Other people have the same problem with the same device and the same version of android (lg stock rom) and the same operator (the only one that use roaming in italy).
I've had problems with my 3G connection too. Didn't go out of the country or anything, just turned on and turned off the 3G connection (data). Had to reboot every time it happens.
This seems a known bug with Gingerbread on P500 and h3g italy... Hope they fix soon....
Hi, I have same problem with data connection lost after return from national roaming in Slovakia (oprator O2). I have LG Optimus One with official gingerbread upgrade. Do you have some news about this problem? Thanks
