I'm very close to getting the guts to change from the att "dark side" and get to this gorgious HTC ROM I hear so much about but a few last questions...
anyone have any problems with phone, 3g, or edge connectivity using HTC ROM?
does the HTC ROM show the "E" or "3G" at the top of the screen like my currently does to tell me which I'm on and what my signal strength is?
anything else I should know about before doing the switch in functionality or connectivity that I would lose with the HTC ROM?
Thanks
I can't tell you about E because when I reset, I go immediately from a momentary G to 3G.
I get H whenever I am in an active data transfer.
The indicator is the same as the Tilt ROM... Although I never saw a H on the Tilt...
You won't loose anything.

There are no problems, however as I've posted in a couple of other threads, there really isn't much to gain by moving to the HTC ROM except memory (which there is no shortage of in the ATT ROM) and the WorldCard Mobile business card OCR scanning application. Anything else you gain can also be enabled in the ATT ROM and you don't potentially void your warranty by performing a CID unlock.
Anyone successfully TETHER to laptop using the HTC ROM? Is there a icon in CONNECTION SETTINGS for MODEM?
That is the last thing I can think of that I would be pissed to lose if I moved from ATT to HTC ROM.
Thanks guys
Hey everyone,
I got an AT&T Fuze (Touch Pro) and Im using it on Fido in Canada. My data is working perfectly fine, my only issue is that my phone keeps switching from 3G to H every once in a while, I was just wondering why and whats the reason for that?
Also, I have a little exclamation mark (in a yellow triangle) in the top right hand corner right beside the 3G/H/E Icon. I don't know why thats there?
Thanks to all for the help!
No, that's neither yours nor your phone issues. Once you' re in the better speed coverage, the phone will jump to H or your phone is accessing the internet.
"little exclamation mark" is a "roaming" indicator.
Heres the thing, it jumps back and forth while even accessing/using data.
Is there anyway to get rid of the exclamation mark?
have you flashed the rom?
I would be interested in how to get rid of the roaming icon too.
I have tried all the registry changes to no avail. The icon, and roaming warnings for things like the weather app, remain. It's about the last thing I need to fix but I seem to be stuck.
Im using RRE's ROM. So far it seems to have fixed itself, but now Im having more issues. I wonder if I should flash to a different ROM.
Hi guys,
I have a somewhat related problem and I hope someone can help me out. I just recently bought an unlocked HTC Touch Pro (not the Fuze version) and I am using it with my Fido sim card. Everything works and I was able to setup EDGE on it, but what bothers me is it keeps saying that I am roaming (for example when I access the Weather app). I am wondering if this is just some sort of a glitch due to the phone being unlocked or am I really roaming? I also get that roaming icon at the top. I am located in Vancouver so I am not out of town or anything. I just want to make sure so I don't end up having a crazy invoice by the end of the month. Thanks very much in advance.

It's because Fido uses Roger's towers now, but the companies are still identified separately and therefore it thinks you're roaming. As long as you have a data plan, you should be ok.
PS. Depending where in Vancouver you are, you should be getting at least 3G (3G), or hopefully HSDPA (H), vs Edge (E).

xda_fanboy, thank you very much for the helpful information. I can finally stop worrying. I do have a data plan with Fido so that should do. However, this is the second day of using the Touch Pro and the only data network I get is Edge. The only setup I did to my phone is what is listed in http://www.iday.ca/2008/11/how-to-setup-rogers-or-fido.html, under the Fido section. Would you mind taking a look and see if that is all that I need to do? I really appreciate all your help. Thanks again.

Please see my post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3192894&postcount=3 and see if it helps. I believe you also need to go into Settings>Connections>Advanced Network and enable HSDPA/HSUPA to get the full benefit.

I also have this phone and live in Vancouver on Fido. I don't think it will work on 3G, or so it seems. Mine is not the ATT version either, just the stock HTC. Currently it runs fine on the standard network, although as mentioned i have not been able to get rid of the roaming icon, but have never been charged extra. Its too bad we can't use it on 3G, and if any can find a way, that would be awesome, id love to be using the full potential of this phone.
I think we are stuck with no 3G, unless there are any suggestions?
If your not using the AT&T Fuze, then you won't have 3G in North America. Don't worry about the roaming icon. Since the phone (or is it the software?) has no idea that Fido uses Rogers' towers, it thinks your roaming. I have the roaming icon as well, had it on many non-branded Fido phones.
I turned off 3G because I hate seeing my icon go to 3G then H at random times besides when Im using actual data and it seems that with 3G, I get worse reception! Makes no sense I know, I've tried 3 different radio's and all have the same issue. Im thinking if an HTC Touch Diamond Rogers branded Radio will work, then that would probably work the best. Anybody know if/where I can get it?

If you bought a stock HTC Touch Pro (non-ATT, non-North American) then you won't have the NA 3G radio frequency and you're stuck with Edge.
Regarding a ROM, head over to the ROM sub-forum. There's a step-by-step guide on flashing your first ROM. As far as which ROM is best, it depends entirely on what you want from it, and even then varies by personal choice from person to person. There is no 1 "best" ROM. Check out all the ROM threads (there's a Roger's specific ROM available FYI) and pick one based on what you like.

I have a similar problem as Speng2, but I have the HTC Fuze which is the american ATT branded one. I unlocked it, flashed the NATF 4.7 rom and tried many diff radios and can never get more than EDGE. I used to have 3g when it was stock. I live in Los Angeles which is a 3g area. I get full edge signal but no 3g or HSPDA. I have a feeling it has to do with a setting. Pls help.

This thread was specifically for Fido, a Canadian carrier. I have no knowledge of the settings you will require for your carrier in LA, which is the most likely reason you are not getting 3G. I would try contacting them if you haven't already. Otherwise try and find a thread for your carrier, or perhaps check HF (not sure if we can post URL's to other sites). Good luck!
What if you dont have a data plan

What if you don't have a data plan? It seems that sypod has not been charged extra for Roaming... Does anyone know how Roaming works with FIDO? I just got the HTC FUZE and I don't want to have to pay outrageous Roaming charges. Any Ideas?
Hi i'm new to the forums and i have an AT&T 8525 and i think its broken. When i tried to charge it, the notification light does not show up at all. Is it possible for it to be fixed?
Thanks
Hello people! I am a newbie on Android, so don't expect me to know deep stuff about Android.
So, I've been using HTC Sensation for about a month now. I've been using it without problem, but suddenly on one night, hard rain strike Bangkok. Suddenly, my phone goes no signal and limited service. I thought it was some some problem, so I wait for a while in order to get the signal back. About 20 mins later, my signal bar is back, but still no Mobile Connection icon (e.g. H or 3G). The worse thing is even though my signal bar is back, I still can't make/receive any calls or sms to/from anyone. I thought it might be some problems with the towers, however, when I switch my SIM to my mom's iPhone, the signal appear to work and the connection worked without problem.
That's when I thought its the problem with the phone. But... when I went out of my area (house), signal appear to work with 3G and I can perfectly make calls or texts without problem. When I got home, No Signal once again. So now I don't really know if its the problem with the network or the phone...
This really annoys me as heck. If someone can give me advices, I will be much appreciate. Thank you very much
My phone goes from having full bars on 4g to nothing randomly me having to pop out the battery to get service again.
Tired of the same

i decided to make the jump and my issues went away, i would have preferred to remain stock however i don't like to be branded, stuck with bloatware etc..
thank you and all of you reply this thread. I am very new to Android, so I'm not really sure about 'rooting'. So Lostcat, you have this issue? and your issue went away after you've rooted your phone? Also, if I am going to root my phone, will all my data, contact, apps, and setting gone? If yes, anyway to do easy back up?
Thanks
I was having similar issues so I sent mine off for repair (through carphone - they say they send htc phones off to the manufacturer but considering its only been a week and they have reapired it i doubt that it has been sent off) still im sort of glad it didn't go off http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/watchdog/2011/10/htc_phones.html - im going to get it this afternoon. will report back with findings

You have answered your question yourself here.
It's clearly a problem with your local cell since that night with the hard rain, since when you go to a different area your phone works fine. Contact your network and report theres a problem with your local cell.
cheers
Are you sure? Why does he have a signal in his mum's iCrap?

Yeah, at first I thought its the signal problem too. But when I switched SIM and put it in my mom's iPhone, it work. And I use her SIM on my phone, and it worked too! Pretty confusing eh?
Alright.... I've decided to give my phone to the HTC support to fix it after I've asked a lot of people and they said its the antennas problem. Anyway, since I phone is rooted, in order to give to support, I need to unroot it.
I know people posted a lot of steps on unrooting HTC Sensation, but I want ONE SPECIFIC SAFE and SURE steps for unrooting... Thank you
Hi all
I see a notification popping up a few times a day (on the left of my shade) with a picture of cellular bars and a question mark next to it. If I click it, it asks if I want to sign into 'home'. Since this is my first GSM phone, I wasn't sure if this was a
KitKat Issue
APN Issue
Carrier Issue
Something else
I apologize in advance if this is some commonly known GSM thing and easy to resolve, but this is new to me. I poked around on Google before posting to make sure this wasn't super obvious. Attached are two screenshots. If it helps, I have straight talk as my MVNO for ATT. Thank you all!

Is it a WiFi network named "home" that your phone has found, and is prompting you to connect to it if you can?

Nope. There are no SSID's with the name home. Also, the icon looks distinctly cellular and not WiFi (see original attachments and see if you agree)

I'm in the same boat as you -- ATT on Straight Talk, first GSM phone (Nexus 5) and I noticed this very same thing this morning too and wondered what it was about.
For me it just started today.
Hope there's someone out there that can tell us.
I'm on a T-Mobile family plan and it happens to me too all the time, I just clear the notification and nothing happens, I still have service when it comes up though.

I had a GNex & Nexus 4 on StraightTalk & I never saw that. I've had my Nexus 5 for a week & a half and I never saw it until yesterday. Now I have seen it twice in the last 24 hours. It is something new...
I just started seeing this also. FWIW I'm on Straight Talk (AT&T) also.
I'm getting it also. Straight Talk AT&T LTE SIM. Pressing the Notification takes me to google.com in chrome

I found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2168814
To sum up, several ppl were having this issue with N4 on Net10 and then Straight Talk. One guy says toggling Airplane Mode fixed it for him.
Also here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219588
No solution in this thread.
I also saw this one my Straight Talk LTE Nexus 5.
Interesting...
The APN I was using was an ATT one that was on my phone when I first got it. I had modified it with the ST settings.
I created a new APN and entered only the specified fields from:
http://www.straighttalkbyop.com/program.php
Then I selected this new APN as active, and deleted the old APN. Toggled Airplane Mode to reconnect to the network.
The "Sign into network" warning hasn't popped up since. I was getting it every 10 mins or so.
Update
Nevermind... As soon as I left work (and presumably changed towers) the notification was back.
It doesn't actually seem to cause any problems for me but it is weird...

I've had my N5 since Nov 4th and only started seeing this a few days ago. Never saw this with my N4 or my GNex. The N4 went to my wife after I got the N5 and she hasn't seen it happen on the N4. I just upgraded the N4 to KitKat last night and am interested to see if it starts happening. We're both on Straight Talk, though I have a LTE SIM (APN = tfdata) and she has the old one (APN = att.mvno). On another note, my daughter has an iPhone 5 (LTE SIM) which used to show "HOME" as the network. It very recently started showing "TFW", which I assume is "TracFone Wireless". The same happens if I put my SIM in the iPhone. Not sure if these things are related, but both changes occurred very recently.
EDIT: This behavior does not seem to occur when using a "real" AT&T SIM.
I'm having the same issue. Hopefully someone will post a solution soon.
For future readers of this thread, I have not received any more notifications. I did not change anything on my phone, so I assume it was an issue at the provider level (Straight Talk).
I can confirm that for me on Straight Talk this was wrong APN setting. I was missing MMS port and that was enough to trigger this warning. I believe the phone tries to check for new MMS or something and login fails without port, which triggers this message. Since I changed the APN to the same settings posted by embhorn couple of weeks ago, no question mark.
Please Help to signal problems question mark icon
Hello ... Greetings to all. I just wanted to ask a related solutions to these problems? Because at this time I experience it. I wonder what causes it, but I think this is the problem of the provider APN settings. Currently I'm using CM11 Custom ROM. But, strangely I didn't experience this problem when I was on the stock ROM. I beg enlightenment, hopefully someone can help. As seen in my post here. Because the thread for my device section nothing is peeling this problem. Thanks In Advance.
Regards.
The "?" mark sign next to signal strength signifies the SIM card has not activated yet, so you might need to register through internet(Sign in to home from notification) or talk to Customer care.
