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
Hi, I am desperately attempting to get my SPV E650 connected to the internet! All the GPRS settings are set up right to my knowledge, I have had the right settings sent out from Orange UK. Internet explorer is set to "automatically detect settings" and "the internet" is my selected network. I have tried relashing different roms and updating to latest Radio 4.1.13.54_03.10.90 radio but I get the same "Failed to connect to the internet. Data coverage may be unavailable." If I delete all settings then I get a different error message " Your internet connection is not configured properly. Please verify settings in Connections" but as said even when I do set them up I still receive an error!
I am at my wits end with this thing as have flashed and reflashed and still no joy and the bin is looking a good option for this little phone!
Please could someone offer any help or suggestions?

hi thanks for replying! my phone is sim locked to Orange and so cannot try different network. As for changing the authentication type I tried changing it from the default "None" to "PAP" and "Chap" but neither worked! When Internet Explorer tries to connect the "G" icon flashes on on off a couple of times but just wont connect! This has absolutely confused me! Anything else???
again

ok sure ill delete all the settings and try manually enter them, are you also with UK Orange? If not ill look for the settings and enter them. Im using the new Windows Mobile 6.5 Beta rom with the 4.1.13.54_03.10.90 radio. Strangely it did briefly work once I reflashed the radio to this new one (was able to get weather update on phone) but then didn't afterwards and was back to square one! Anything else I can try with this phone? Is there a suggested rom to work with my E650 or any other settings I don't know about? Its just weird how when I try to connect the "G" icon flashes on briefly but then fails to connect. Another strange thing is I installed Skyfire and whilst it didn't connect, it once changed the icon to the "G", I just don't get it!

would a proxy setting help me connect to the internet? Also it may sound real obvious but just to confirm when choosing the network in which it connects it is "The internet" and not anything like "WAP" is it?
Cheers

the strange thing is that internet explorer is set that way, i have reflashed the 6.5 rom and also fireburned, mona lisa and neo 6.1 rom and still nothing. With these different roms, h have tried manually entering the gprs settings, had them set up when Orange sent them to my phone and alos used the connection setup application and still nothing. I have even tried as said flashing the latest rom but still nothing either! I am totally stuck as to why this is not working, orange say everythings ok at their end and so it must be a problem with my phone.....somewhere!
first unlocked ur sim locked phone then try another gprs sim for internet if that work then okay so u face that two problem either ur setting are not correct or ur provider stop ur gprs so i suggest u put ur orange sim to any nokia s60v3 phone for correct setting if that sim gprs also not work in nokia s60v3 with correct setting then ur gprs service not activate on ur sim if u have not want unlocked ur phone or no near s60v3 nokia phone for check then try another orange sim for gprs try this all

Hi, problem solved!! I tried my sim in my girlfriends phone and it didnt work in that either so it had to of been a problem with orange, so i rang up again and the person actually realised that my gprs wasnt activated there! Its beyond me how the original guy didnt notice that before attempting to read out my phones manual etc!
Many thanks for help,

Well I'm willing to bet the first guy didn't check the sim was provisioned with gprs and fairly safe bet itwas someone in india.
I'm not racist but many of them have not had the proper training since they started to handle most of the helpdesk queries.
When I worked at orange every time they put someone through to us from india they hadn't checked things properly.
Checking the sim was set up with gprs is the FIRST thing they should have done

Nagh he wasn't foreign he was from Newcastle, must of been a trainee or perhaps the obvious didn't stare him in the face that day
I unlocked my sprint touch pro 2, flashed the edited radio posted here for the sprint version, and now I'm using it on T-Mobile
Phone/Txt works
Internet doesnt work
I have tried internet2.voicestream.com APN, wap.voicestream.com and epc.tmobile.com
It always says "can't connect for unknown reason"
I left the username and password fields clear
Any suggestions?
Have you tried out the wireless configurator? I'm sure they won't have your exact phone, but the settings should be close enough.
dead link....
Got it to work, oddly enough I had to delete the connection, then create it again
Didn't change anything, just deleted it and made a new one with the same settings...
Hi there,
You're doing exactly what I've been trying to do but unable to. i have been unable to get a steady signal from T-Mobile, and the rare times that I did, generally I was unable to get data connection working.
Can you tell me exactly which APN settings worked for you? thanks.

This is what I did after I unlocked and flashed the edited radio (for the sprint version)
Go into Settings>Phone>Network, select GSM Only and select MANUAL
Select TMobile
after this you should be able to make phone calls and get txt
then go to settings>connections>connections, select the top one (should be tmobile data) and select "manage existing connections"
go to general, then click delete
create a new connection, name it whatever you want,select GPRS 3G, use APN internet2.voicestream.com , no suername or password just leave blank, click finish
now you should be able to connect

Hi there,
I did exactly as you described, but for the most part it's not working. I am guessing I have a radio problem. Which radio are you using? Thanks again.
James
some people have problems connecting with certain APNs on tmobile. first try ecp.tmobile.com that SHOULD work and its the newer apn that they made for 3g/smartphones to use so it should be faster EDGE. and if its not working delete all connection settings make a new one. no pass or username. IF it dont work no matter what contact tmobile they helped me when i had an att phone with them

I have the same issue. using 1.96uw radio and mighty rom and cant get the data to work. I have Tzone as my data plan.
Bumping Up Great Information
Just wanted to bump this for those of us who have the HTC Touch Pro 2 and for whatever reason the data stops connecting.

Bad SIM card.
no, tried 3 different sim cards, all the same response, 2 different mytouch 4G's with the same problem, only says limited service
I had a very odd issue similar to this after trying some different roms and then using CWM to restore my RG rom...
In short, I was only able to get service via wifi calling and while in my 'home' area. As soon as i left my home, I would loose all service while others maintained service just fine. If i didn't know any better, it would seem that my phone was locked to a specific tower.
It took a factory reset on the rom before I could get any service back while outside of my home market.
that almost sounds like the same issue, I can get wifi with no problem, just will not let me get service any other way, when I try to select tmobile from network selection it says your sim card will not let you get service
shot in the dark, but... did you check your apn settings???
how do I check apn settings?

I would grab a fresh rom, factory reset the device, flash the rom and reflash the radio. At this point, if you don't do so regularly, MD5 check what you download to ensure its as it should be.
If we go with the 'locked to a tower' assumption, when this happened to me, it appeared 'locked' to the tower it first connected to upon reboot. If you are not in that area now, it prob wouldn't connect.
Also, i have had nothing but problems when I attempted to apply the APN settings listed in forum posts. Just default them, see if it helps..
Settings> Wireless & Network> Mobile Networks> APN Settings > menu button, reset to default. But i think this only affects mms, internet and not the connection to the mobile network itself.
**edit**
I also received an error when attempting to manually connect or search to a mobile network.
factory reset, from cwm?
Yes. Once completed, i went ahead and reflashed the rom while still in CWM.
any other ideas if this doesnt work?
lol, brick it and call tmobile.. "its stuck in a bootloop"
another thought is to call tmobile and ask them essentially if they can reset your device in the towers. I worked for them (voicestream) like 12 years ago, the lingo has most likely changed but there maybe something in the system that is causing the problem..
I was able to see the problem go away once i factory reset, so I didn't bother. Just don't mention anything that could be noted as 'warranty voided'..
Typically, when I call, i give them just enough information to get them to do exactly what I want. They shouldn't care that you run a custom rom and they don't need to know.. just the fact that you cannot connect to the network should be information enough.

Sorry about the copy and paste but this seemed to be the one exception to the case, I would take a little time to look threw some of the rom settings. If this doesn't work send the phone back, it seems to me that's the last thing you want to do but if this doesn't work then you may have no choice but to and why waste more time.
i doubt this issue has anything to do with the apn settings as those only affect T-Mobile data, MMS and SMS. Even if they were completely wrong, the phone would still make a connection to the network for voice services.
When I got my mt4g with new simcard, I have to call tmo to reigster it.
Or perhaps the phone is simcard locked.

That's true, I had to do the same, I had a Blackberry prior to the MT4G and had to call and give them my IMEI and other info in order for them to activate my service, I got mine out right not through T-Mobile. I had to agree to the terms over the phone with CSR before I could do anything other than make calls.
Still I would think if he got the phone through T-Mobile and had the SIM sent with it as security goes you would still have to call in to verify you got the phone and call in the IMEI to be activated for that account.

See, this is the difference. You were able to connect to tmobiles network. OP is unable to get that far. There is no service, and even manually attempting to select a network resulted in an error.

The phone could be imei blockd. T-Mobile will do that if its lost or stolen. Or if the person who got it said he never got the package and they sent a new one. I kno this cuz my brother ripped of T-Mobile by sayin he didn't get a replacement and they blocked the one he said he didn't get. Try unlocking it and using a att sim

Hello
I just recently got the optimus 3d. its brilliant!
With the help of this forum I've managed to root and get Clockwork then install thais rom.
amazing speed increase.
But i have just one issue.
My phone was locked to orange uk provider. when i bought the phone I had to call orange to have my phone 'activated'
only after i did that did the phone even receive a signal.
before that it just said emergency call only, or no signal.
now, i've unlocked the phone using a code. it now says no personalization when i check the lock menu.
but: when i insert another sim, vodaphone uk or 3 uk, it says emergency call only or no network.
whats going on?
please help...
thanks
after a search it seems other people also have this issue with no reply.
did anyone else have this problem and fix it?

The activation bit is for the sim card, I have a phone locked to O2 and what happens is you register the sim with them and then they enable it to use their network which is why until then it will say no network.
It is also the reason why if you put any other sim in the phone, and that sim has not yet been used to make calls, you get the same error.
As for the personalisation message on the unlock menu, I am unsure what you mean by the lock menu. I assume you mean the screen you see before you unlock your phone to use it each time, and did a search on google which produced no results but I would guess that if you are using a custom rom the message means you either have not personalised your screen or that the option is there to personalise it but has not been used.

unlock menu - where you enter the network unlock code.
i'm trying to use my 3 uk sim, its been on contract for over 2 years.
I know that a lot of unlocked phones wont work with 3, if you google 3 unlock you will find a lot of people have problems and some unlock companies even specify they wont unlock to 3 network but if it does the same with non 3 cards or only works with one operator perhaps the unlock was only partial?
I did a search for pedsonalisation and all I found were various unlock sites saying that a sucessful unlock needs you to have a personalisation menu.
My previous android phone had a device lock and a sim lock, could it be your unlock has only partially worked? Is it only one provider whose network you can access?

you're being really helpful so i give thanks.
i have tried o2 and vodafone sims in the phone also but to no avail... always says emergency only or no network, with both showing no signal.
would flashing the original orange rom back then retrying the lock code help? as of right now when i go to the unlock menu and click network lock it prompts a message stating my phone has no personalization.
sorry missed out a little bit of info.
the only network that works is orange, it gets full signal and works perfect, but i'd really like to use my contract sim instead of pay as you go extra on orange.
I've done some more searching and found that on a lot of phones that personalisation message means the phone unlock has failed and that after a successful unlock it should say something like "network lock has been personalised".
You do only get a certain number of tries so don't enter the code over and over, if you are sure you entered it correctly it means the code you got just didn't work (I had that when unlocking my previous LG and had to buy a code from somewhere else as the first one didn't work at all).
I am not recommending this site, it's just one that explained how to unlock so am posting a link in case it helps, but the site says you need to enter two codes on an Optimus 3D. One is for network lock and one for service provider lock, I know that some people on the xda forums have unlocked their phones so I hope they will jump in and help solve your problem as really all I can do is google for the bits I am unsure of but it would seem your code did not work, or that you need two codes and only had one.

just wondering if i could post a video link here to show how it happens, if not, mods can you delete this link:
http://videobam.com/YqMQH
might need to tilt head/computer screen
that was with orange sim, without orange sim it shows no signal and no network... its running thais rom.
heres a video of it using another sim.
when i start the phone with other sim, it prompts whether i'd like to use mobile data or not, but no connection!

Well having watched your videos I can clear up something, I think.
I had searched for terms based around "no personalisation available" which means your code did not work but searching for the actual message in the video "your phone is not personalised" produced completely different results.
That specific message means the option you are clicking on is not locked (not personalised by your provider) at least according to various pages I have found including a few on other well known Android forums so if that's correct your unlock did actually work and that is why the message appears.
The page at http://www.cpkb.org/wiki/LG_enter_NCK_code also mentions this code and its cause.
If the other sims you try offer you data or mobile but do not connect, yet you can make calls, then you need to set up your apn for that provider. The apn tells your phone how to connect to your provider.
This is really easy to do but you will need a free app called Apn global from the android market at https://market.android.com/details?id=osatek.apn.global obviously you need it on your device which can be done in various ways, possibly easiest if you can connect via wifi and go to the market.
Install and run it, pick the name of your provider (the provider whose sim you wish to use) and it will create the mms and internet settings for you. Then mobile data should work.
Alternatively if you have an android phone which you already use that sim on, install to that phone and choose the apps backup option which will backup your exact settings to sd card so you can import them to another android phone.
If you have other providers apns on there you will probably need to tell the phone to use your new settings. Simply go to your phones settings menu, find the wireless settings option and click it then scroll down the screen to "mobile networks" and click that. Then click "Access point names" and choose the desired provider. I have three on my phone and you can always revert to any other settings if you change provider later.
The apn app is very useful, I have used it on a few phones, it has a large list of providers worldwide so you should find your choice of provider there and hopefully that will solve your problem.

Thanks for the reply dave, but I have yet more bad news sadly.
I can't actually make calls, as shown in the second video it shows no network/emergency calls only.
It's hard to believe no-one else has this issue.
I have owned lots of android in the past(started with g1, then hero, then jumped to zte blade then galaxy 1, now this) none of them posed any difficulty removing network lock.
Its such a strange problem that a search of this forum shows at least one other person had this issue but no-one could help.
Sorry if this sounds stupid but have you gone into the settings menu on your phone (Settings/Wireless and Networks/Mobile Networks/) and chosen the "select your network provider" option?
There you can force your phone to use a specific network provider.

I have with error "Unable to connect to this network at this time. Please try again later."
I don't think I can help, though I did some more googling and on the cyanogen mod forums someone posted a similar problem....
I've been using the nightly builds of CM7 since they came out and have had no network problems. I then installed version 7.0 [stable] when it came out, and just yesterday I installed version 7.0.3 [stable].
I have had no signal since, and whenever I try and select my network from the Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Network Operators, it comes up saying "Unable to connect to this network at this time. Please try again later.".
It is nothing to do with my network provider, as my brother's phone works fine and he is on the same network as me.
I am on Three Mobile.
Please help!
RESOLVED: I just wiped all userdata and reflashed CM 7.0.3, I'm a very impatient person

If you fail to get a solution this option may help but probably best as a last resort. One thing I did notice when watching your second video is that you have the wireless on, this will stop your phone connecting to any providers mobile data so at least as far as mobile data goes you won't be able to use it when connected to wifi and would have to switch wifi off in order to test the mobile data connection.
Also I know that on my O3D my wireless sometimes seems to cause my phone signal to switch off with the little x. I doubt that is the cause of your problem but may be worth trying to connect with no wifi.

I'm going to try reinstall the original orange rom that came with it and downgrade baseband, if that fails to work after a full reinstall using lgflashtool I'll have to try get another phone.
thanks for all your help dave, i really appreciate it!
A popular unlock site says the only steps needed to unlock to any network are...
1. Input a non accepted simcard
2. Phone will display enter “Sim network unlock PIN” or “Enter Network Unlock Code”
3. Input the 8 or 16 digit unlock code that was emailed to you
4. Phone is unlocked!
If you did this, which you obviously have, your phone is unlocked and the problem must be something else but if you're going to flash a copy of the orange rom you might want to check first with one of the more knowledgeable users here that the rom won't replace some of the locks you already removed.
I checked around and from what I have found it should be as easy as put the new providers apn on your phone, select their settings from mobile networks menu for provider and also mobile data and that should work.
One orange customer who unlocked a different model android phone found that all they had to do was flash the radio only (not the rom), not sure how you do that but there are probably guides on xda.
Dave
I flashed the original orange rom and after flashing the froyo basrband it suddenly worked. Flashed gb again and it still worked, seems i just hsd to reflash basebsnd/radio like you said.
Thank you so much

Hi pauliebb,
I have the same problem that you had. I bought a used unlock O3D vodafone ES to gift to my brother, he lives in south america and he told me that the mobile does not recognize his SIM. What did you exactly do you did to reflash the baseband firmware???
I supposed thet the mobile is unlock because it shows the same message when enter to the unlock options "phone is not personalised"
Regards
