HTC S710 Problems - help!! - HTC Vox

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

HTC Tytn / Hermes - Blackberry Connect Client

If anyone is interested in getting Blackberry Connect working on their Hermes / Tytn / etc, take a look at:
http://www.sems.org/entry.asp?ENTRY_ID=162
It works nicely... I tested it with both BES and BIS.
would love to try this out, but the second link doesnt work.
They must have changed the link. I'll dig up the page I found it from.
It looks like they are temporarily putting the files to the link I put up. I updated the post, go to:
http://support.vodafone.de/index_l3_2z.html and download it under VPA Compact II, Desktop Manager 2.1 für VPA compact II (13,7 MB), it is the same thing.
Thanks for the link. One more thing, will this only work on vodafone, or can I use it on TMO in the U.S.?
I tried to use it for Cingular but it says Blocked - Radio in use. Any suggestions?
I tried to use it on T-mo usa. It registered fine and t-mo saw the new pin, but T-Mo won't let me change my handheld. I've been running into this trouble recently with T-Mo. I'm guessing they are blocking all non-blackberry devices or not authorized by T-mo USA to register on their network.
Ok got it setup but I get a conflict from my phone trying to connect to wap.cingular and when signed on I dont get my e-mails throuhg balckberry.net.
Is there any way that both can coexist on this phone happily?
Can anyone confirm the Vodafone Blackberry solution works for Tytn ? Tmobile USA with BES server? That's the only condition that I will go with Tytn. Thanks.

Did you figure out how to run BBC with the TyTn? I am new to the TyTn and I have the "Blocked - Radio in Use" problem. My UTMS symbol does show something is continuously connecting to network, but so far I cannot find the program.
Thanks in advance

Change the Band to GSM only. BB Connect does not work over UMTS (..yet).
I have BB connect working fine via UMTS and GPRS - I dont have a strong enough signal at my house to get UMTS / 3G, but when I get closer to town the TyTn automatically switches to UMTS / 3G and BB still works fine.
I am using a HTC Rom with a Vodafone blackberry enabled account and synced to the BlackBerry Exchange server
If it says Radio in use that mean that you probably have another program that's actively using the gprs connection (i.e. Direct Push)
I'm also using the tytn with a Tmobile US sim.
I dont know what you guys are talking about when you say you get a "New Pin detected" Message.
When I go to BB Webclient through tmobile.com, it shows my old pin number in there. And I cant change it.
Do you actually have to setup a webclient account, or it's supposed to work as long as you are provisioned for blackberry.net?

BlackBerry Connect 4 for Hermes/TyTN: .CAB file anyone?

BBConnect + ActiveSync Direct Push coexistence
Hi -
I've got BBConnect v4.x on a Tilt/Tytn II, partly coexisting with ActiveSync Direct Push. This is using a T-Mobile SIM, subscribed to the BlackBerry Enterprise plan (unlimited data, plus access to BES gateway).
I say "partly coexisting" because typically either ActiveSync is getting direct push of new items or BBConnect is actually connected to the company BES. When ActiveSync is "winning", BBconnect typically shows "blocked" (and may say "radio in use"). When BBconnect is "winning", the phone will report that it can't "dial" its data connection.
But sometimes both are working simultaneously...
What is the magic incantation so that they will start up in the right order and both work at the same time?
Many thanks,
Jay

wm6 and roaming

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)
Regards
--Cor
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.

Skype on VDA V (HTC 710 from Vodaphone)

Hi,
I tried to use Skype on my VDA V (Vodafone branding / SDA appl. unlock). Installing is no problem, but if I try to call (Echo and Sound test) then Skype tell "connecting", then ringing (rings one time) and then Skype switch of.
Under Menu Settings / Telephone / Internettelefonie (german/ means Voip) I have switch on "ever if available".
Is it a special Vodaphone problem, that Vodaphone ROM is not allowing Voip (I think Vodaphone would like that user call about Vodaphone net) ???
Can you help me ?
Regards Odiad
GPRS settings maybe?

I'm using the same config as you do, but in the Netherlands Vodafone.
Did you run the Vodafone setup (downloadable .exe) for provider configuration? (or do it manually thru the information on the Vodafone website).
When connected thru WIFI I have no problems. Using GPRS I sometimes first need to "create" the connection manually (by opening a page in IE or other internet needing program)
Make sure you downloaded the latest skype mobile for the S710. The "general" version doesn't work for me, probably 'cause of the firmware.
Hopefully these were the things you were looking for.
HI Syserror,
I ve just downloaded newest version of skype (2.5 Beta). But when I try to use skype I see same behavior. I see my Skype contacts (that means I am connected with skype and with my account) and I tried calling echo/sound test service and there was stiil the same probelm (connecting, one times ringing, and then Skype switches off.
So version of skype is not the reason why it doesn't work. I am connected with wifi (my home WLAN router, I can go into internet without problems, or get my Emails - so WLAN is okay). Any other ideas??
regards Odiad

HTC 710/ VDA V (Vodafon) with branding, bujt with sda appl. unlock
Hi,
it's me again. I googled a little bit and found a link to skype 2.2.0.18 which should run on VDA V. I tried and yes it runs. Or I hope so - I tried only echo/sound test service because I have no money on my skye account. But echo and sound test runs well, I think it is okay now.

Just bought a second hand HD2 - no 3G Modem

Hi
I just bought a second hand unlocked HD2
I am on Orange. The phone will pick up 3G but I need to sync with Exchange. At work we have our own APN options. So , I have go into the connection tab but from some reason , there is no Cellular 3G,GPRS option, only GPRS. The phone does sync, but I don't think I am getting a 3G connection
With my previous phone Diamond 2, when I did the same thing, the 3G was an option
Am I missing something?
Which version of HD2 did you buy? Did you even check if your HD2 3g bandwidth is compatible with orange?
Not sure I understand your question , but I believe I have a
HD2 T8585
Did you even check if your HD2 3g bandwidth is compatible with orange?
Others at work, have a HD2, so it will work on 3G. I was unaware that there was different types of HD2!!
as long as your basically anywhere but america the 8585 should work (dont quote me on this, obviously there are others) ie uk, europe, south africa should work. I believe australia has their own band specific version as well...
id suggest you go to the rom site, install an original rom, and see if it works afer you run an auto configure in the network settings.
Alternatively, try flashing a new radio rom and see if it works. the 2.07.50 works well for me in SA. some others also only give me EDGE.
I don't know how you have it in your country, but here in Denmark the providers have downloadable 3G settings to their networks that we have to pull down to get it to work...
Unless of course we set it up manually.
Maybe you haven't gotten the setup from Orange?
Hey there, you should check your band settings:
Go to settings > connections > network advanced > in the first tab you can choose "off" or "only HSDPA" or "HSDPA/HSUPA". click on the last option for 3G band.
My former devices (X1i and Hermes) you had band-settings for GSM or 3G but on the HD2 i cannot find it, so this option is changed in WM6.5 i guess.

[Q] Problem with 3G connection after roaming in 2.3.3

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
