radio help please.......

ok guys ....i have been having this strange problem with 3g...im in nyc and edge works fine but as soon as i get in to a 3g area i lose all service?right now im on duttys new rom and i have tried almost all the 6.1 radios..the settings r on auto ...when i disable 3g in com manager the edge works fine...I want 3g(or i would have bought a iphone)....someone please help...
thanx

Did this issue just start since Dutty's rom? Or did it happen with other roms as well?

it has happened with the last couple of 6.1 dutty roms...

Have you tried the 2 radios that were ripped from the Polaris? They have been the best for me on WM 6.1 roms.

yes i tried one forgot which one .....but ill try both tomorrow night....dont have my laptop with me today....this is just strange...like i said edge works fine as soon as i get into a 3g area i lose service...and if i get lucky and do have service i have no internet service but when i try to go to a website ill lose service again?allways set my internet connection to allways on if that makes a difference.....thanx for trying to help

Is your SIM one of the new AT&T branded 3G chips? I remember reading a while back that the older Cingular 3G chips can stop working on the 3G network as they age... something about the coding on the chip becoming corrupted with age.
If the radios don't help, I would try replacing your SIM.

ya tried just about every 6.1 radio last night and same thing edge fine but 3g no go.My sim says att on it cant remember if iv had it since the hermes....but i guess ill try a new sim card...again thanx so much for ur help.
ill report back once i get a new sim card.

just as an fyi, when I upgraded to my tilt, the woman at the store said that all the Cingular Sim cards are being phased out. I then asked about the people in my office with the AT&T simcards that are older and she said that it was just the Cingular emblem cards that they were phasing out. Don't know if its just the pretty branding or not, just what she told me.

Who is your service provider? I had the same problem with Telus in Canada and I managed to resolve it.

Go to Settings>Wireless & Network Settings>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names and open whichever one corresponds to your SP. Make sure the first two fields (Name and APN) are filled out. When I bought mine everything was checked except for these. The information you have to enter will vary based on your service provider, but if you give them a call or check another phone which is also with them you should be able to figure out what to put.

Try a new simcard. That happened to me, one day i noticed all data stopped working, then withink 30 mins my voice was gone too. Luckily my Nexus came with a new sim so i popped that in and called T-Mo and provisioned the new SIM. Works better than ever now. I recommend everyone use a new sim card in the phone because it really does help with the phone.

It is rare for a new sim card to be required. if your phone is stock, you are best to call tech support. Repushing the sim is often enough. Besides here, it's $10 for a new sim and $25 to provison it unless waived by tech support our it's a new activation.

[Q] HD3 no signal!!~~ :(

I bought my hd3 in china .it was unlocked, originally sold to hongkong.
after I went back to the U.S. I kept using my chinese sim card, and everything worked fine. when 7720 released ( it was a long time ago) , I swiped my cell phone, and from then on, my hd3 always tells me that 'no network found'. I tried to search network manually, and I see att and tmobile, but cannot register. now the signal icon has an empty set symbol,...and I don't know what's wrong???
p.s. my att sim card works well on my hd3...I've tried different roms, none of them helped.
the problem is solved, I inserted my chinese sim card into an android phone and it successfully registered in att, and then when i inserted it back onto my hd3, i got the signal LOL.. ..i've no idea why this happened, wish this may help to someone got the same prob.

Have your tried HTC Connection Setup?

yes,i've tried many times
it can detect the right carrier, but doesn't really help

Sounds like you may have to do a hard reset and then reinstall Setup Connection. During the configuration setup after the hard reset you can tell it what region/country you are in now; same for Setup Connection.

thanks for your advice, i just don't understand why should i hard reset the phone. as i tried many roms, each time i swiped in a new rom, the rom was brandly new, like a factory reset, and each time connection setup doesn't work.
i'll take your advice and see if this works out.
btw, i can't see your pic, it's too small. is it something relate to hard reset or ?

no, it doesn't work. T0T

You said your ATT sim works fine... why use the chinese one then? Also i think ATT will give you a new sim if you are under contract with them. You are paying for service aren't u?

Is it an hd7? or an hd3? (never heard of hd3)

Which is why you shouldn't purchase a non compatible phone, for use in another area?

This is why you shouldn't buy this phone from the scalpers. The chinese version does not support many of the worldwide bands that the "global" version of the phone does. My advice would be to try to sell it to someone who can use it and sign up on the OnePlus forums and wait for an invite for the CM version which supports the bands you need.

Get a new sim, sounds like an old sim that doesn't have the updated CellID info in it.
I had to change my 3 sim when I had my SGS4 as it wouldn't register because it was too old.

I had that happen to me on the interational one and felt quite dumb afterwards...
Make sure the SIM card tray is rotated DOWN so that the contacts on the sim card look to the back of the phone.
It will fit both ways (imho a very strange design choice) but with a tiny little space left when rotated the wrong way.
In other words: turn the phone on it's screen before inserting the sim card facing you.
I have _NO_ clue why the phone thinks it has a SIM card when obviously it cannot access it...

Phone wont register on network!! Need Help!!

Hello guys!
I love this phone, but i am having problems getting it to function properly here in Sweden. It was originally bought on a contract and simlocked to Tre (carrier). I bought the phone second hand from swedish ebay (much cheaper than brand new) with the intention of unlocking it and using with my carrier (Telenor).
Tre would not unlock the phone for me (have to see out 24 month contract) so i unlocked it myself using the services of unlockscope.com. The process was successful, and the phone no longer asks for a network unlock code when using previously locked sim.
The problems start now.. It just refuses to register on the network! If i switch the phone off, insert sim and start, then i get a brief flash of the carrier name in top left corner (2 seconds), and then it goes back to saying emergency calls only.
I cannot register manually, i have tried hundreds of times, even though the carrier appears in the list. The apn settings are also correct for my carrier.
I have also contacted my carrier and they dont understand the problem. I even had them run a check on the imei to see if it was blocked on their network (possible stolen phone) but it came back negative, no blocking whatsoever!
The weirdest thing is that it works when using my brothers Tele2 sim card! The phone registers in seconds and displays a nice 4g symbol next to the signal indicator! A thing to note is that this Tele2 nano sim fits very nicely in the tray and stays in place, whereas my telenor sim is extremely loose and falls out, though i have tried taping my sim in place with no success.
Can anybody relate to this problem or think of a possible cause? I dont know what to try anymore! I'm thinking that there must be something wrong with the phone, but then why does Tele2 work perfectly??!!
Sorry for the long post! I appreciate any help offered!

Hi
This is getting weird , did you try to do a factory reset from recovery also wipe cache and if that do not work you could also try to flash the firmware of the phone again ( odin)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/how-to/official-stock-firmware-update-odin-t3369431
Just in case is some odd firmware problem , back up everything important first...just in case

I have already tried flashing with stock swedish firmware using odin (G930FXXU1APEQ_G930FVDS1APF1_VDS) but same problem persists.. One weird thing to note though is that even though i do a clean flash with unbranded swedish rom, the phone installs some carrier specific apps from the original carrier the phone was simlocked to upon first boot. How can that be??
Maybe its worth trying an international version?
Thanks for the suggestions

That is odd , yes try a totally different rom just to see how it turns out , even from another country it should not make any difference for the phone and connect easily to a network.

EFS is a very important partition , is where the modem information is.......maybe?

I will try with an international firmware and see if there is any difference.. if not i will follow that guide on efs partition in case that is corrupt.. This is so frustrating!!!
Is it at all possible that a very loose fitting sim could be the problem? As the simcard of the carrier that works fits very snugly in the sim tray.

I have now found out that the phone is stolen!!! So that explains everything. I dont know why the carrier couldnt see that the first time they checked, would have saved me days of frustration!!
It has been reported to the police here in sweden, so hopefully they will find who is responsible and i can get my money back!
Thanks for the help guys, very much appreciated even though it was an impossible case to crack!

Oh no. Have the police found out the thieves? I think my phone may be stolen too because I have the exact same problem.
