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?
So I was playing around trying to delete widgets and one of them took out my 4g/3g connection. The icon is stuck in 1x, and I can't find any setting to change it back.
dail *#*#4636#*#* . This will take you to the network settings. select phone information. And then scroll down to set preferred network type.
I did that, set it to both LTE mode as well as CDMA+LTE/Evdo, but then even when rebooting to toggle it, it shows Network Type as CDMA - 1xRTT
I'm seeing other threads with people having issues with being stuck in 1x, so maybe its just not me, and I disconnected and just happened to not get it back
I am having this issue as well. Rooted last night. In the process of removing system apps removed something I shouldnt have. Went to flash my back up created by Rom Man only to find out it wasnt made, fail, so i flashed the custom rom by Chingy. Since flashing the rom I only have 1X service no matter what I set the phone to on the toggle.
its not just you bro ive been having 3g and 4g problems all morning. I am in queens NY...if they dont get this fix before the 14 days I am returning this phone and going back to t-mobile
I had thus problem. Just turn airplane mode on for a minute, then turn it off and you should get 3g again.

I'm not even rooted, and I began experiencing this issue this morning after having my phone off and plugged in last night.
EDIT: I tested the above fix, and it didn't work for me. Every time the phone tries to turn 3g on it will appear in the status bar for a split second and then everything turns off, even 1x. weird.
It's a network problem on verizon's end. I'm in Cincinnati and data is not working at all.
I am getting this too - according to tech support, there is a problem with the 4G network right now - however why it doesn't fall back to 3G I don't know (unless there is a problem with that too).
I too am in New York, so it might be localized to NYC - They even tried resetting something on my VZ profile.
I'm still on the call as we speak, but I get the feeling given the number of people reporting this, it is a VZ problem.

It's definitely not just a localized problem. I'm all the way out in Utah (no 4g service here yet) and the 3g is completely jacked.
Yup confirmed with tech support, there's a nationwide outage with 4g data and they are working it with the highest priority, the tech said. Ah the costs of new technology. Always will have issues at start.
Same thing here, Pensacola, FL. Just went out on my drive to work today, now it's 1x across the board for me and the gf...she has an incredible and I have the tbolt...
Add me to the list. Been on the phone with tech support for 52 minutes and counting. I'm on hold right now and thought I would check xda. Stuck in 1x if I even have anything. I am about 35 miles south of Pittsburgh, PA. Phone is completely stock and worked perfect yesterday. Also, the tech said DO NOT dial *228 from the Thunderbolt. I didn't, but he said for future referece it will force the phone to use only 1x and 3g. Nice to know lol they didn't say that crap when I bought it. At least their tech support guys are super friendly.
Weird. Im in Akron Ohio and have full bars 4G. Just did speed test and getting 15Mbps down 20 up. Downloaded app off market just to be sure and downloaded without a hitch. This must not be affecting whole nation. (Yes my Wi-Fi is off lol)
Just got off the phone with VZ Tech support. He said there is not an acknowledge problem with the 3G network right now (unlike the 4G), but he's sure that soon there probably will be.
He could not use my phone as an example case (to raise the trouble ticket) because I was unwilling to perform the last step in the troubleshooting process (reflashing the phone) - but I'm sure there will be others willing to do that and this will become a known issue soon enough.
Worst part is, even my 1X support keeps going in and out - probably because the 1X network in NYC is overloaded, because all those users usually on 3G are all on 1X now, and killing it
Confirmed here, too...all 1x, must be a nationwide 3g issue
Same here south of Chicago. Guess I won't even bother calling about it. Thanks for the info.
This is definitely a widespread issue... I am in Miami and I can't even gey 3G here... I am only getting 1X.. The weird thing is, my friend has a Thunderbolt too and she seems to ne getting 3G fine.... If anyone receives any worse from Verizon, please post ASAP!!!
Yup im located in Manhattan New York having the same exact problem since 8:30am today No 4G or 3G i hope they get it fixed Soon Let's Go Verizon!
Hi there,
Hopefully someone can help because my brain is melting here. Basically I spoke to orange customer services the other day because of totally poor signal. He told me to switch to GSM only, which was fine and I know it can improve your phone signal. The thing is, it's now stuck on there, whenever I try to change it to WCDMA it automatically switches back to GSM?
Any body got any ideas?
Cheers
Ian

I feel your pain. I am also a long-suffering Orange customer. Everything was fine until they climb into bed with T-Mobile. Since then my signal has been so erratic I simply can't trust things like Google Maps to work as navigation. Orange have left me stranded twice bombing out the 3G just as I need it to get home.
Anyway, how exactly did you switch to GSM only? There are a couple of ways of doing it.
Menu> Settings> Wireless & Networks> Mobile Networks> Network Mode = GSM/WCDMA auto.
I suspect it was this one. If this is the method that is changing back to GSM, then try this one;
Open you dialer, and dial *#*#4636#*#*
This will open a hidden testing menu, from this select 'Phone Information'
Scroll to the bottom and see what the 'Set Preferred network type:' is set to.
Mine works well with both GSM auto (PRL) and GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)
See if selecting one of these helps.
Let me know how this goes.
Hiya mate,
Yeah I gave that a try earlier. It seems I have to either have a good phone signal or crap data and vice versa? Pain in the ass. Orange told me that it was because of a faulty telephone mast in my area that has been off since last week. Can't see that being right to be honest, since my signal has been ****e since I first got it in April. Thing is, my sister was having the same problem with poor signal, and she wrote to some higher up person at orange to tell them about it. It ended up with her getting out her 2 year contract, bonus! I'm just going to ring and keep complaining and then write to this person my self, and hopefully I can get out of it my self. Orange is the worst network I have been on!
Cheers for your reply
I might give that a try. I still have a year left, but would love to jump ship and move back to Vodafone. I only went with Orange as my girlfriend was on Orange and magic numbers meant free calls. She then went and screwed things up by moving in! Now I don't need to ring her so much! (facepalm)
My housing estate has a dirty great big cell tower mast at the top of it. My fillings could receive a text message. But even with max strength signal still the 3G is off and on so erratically it's not worth using. They keep telling me that "the cell tower in my area is being worked on" too. That's been their excuse since February.
I have no idea I'm afraid why your phone wont stay on a WCDMA setting however. How are your APN settings? Mine once roamed to T-Mobile without me noticing and would only do 2G.
Yeah my girlfriend is my magic number too, and I live with her as well.. Doesn't make a great deal of sense really does it?
I think you may be on to something with that tmobile thing. Does tmobile allow wcdma?

When I used to do a manual scan for other Networks the following would show up;
Orange
Orange 3G
T-Mobile
T-Mobile 3G
If I try to connect to T-Mobile 3G it wont let me. The one that is just 'T-Mobile' doesn't have anything more than 2G. What happened was my Orange signal dropped out, so it jumped onto the 'T-Mobile' one without me noticing. It then didn't go back to the Orange 3G when I got home.
I just tried it again and got;
Orange
T-Mobile UK
The 2G/3G variants seem to have been dropped and merged into a single provider for each network. I can connect to T-Mobile but still only seem to get 2G.
See which one your connected to. It might be that although we are allowed to use T-Mobile for calls/texts the deal doesn't include 3G.

Yip, that's exactly it mate. I go on tmobile and I can get only 2g, I connect to orange and it let's me have 3G. It jumps between the two networks, and as I have poor orange signal all the time it auto jumps to tmobile! So basically it looks like I'm stuck to 2g if I want to actually speak to anyone! At least now I know what the problem is, but it still doesn't make me feel any better about having to make the choice, and having to constantly check which network I'm on before knowing why I'm getting either poor 2g or poor phone signal. What a headache!
Cheers for your help, much appreciated!

Lately, I've noticed some **** with o2 as well which as I previously recall always had good service, since I been with them for as far as I can remember. I'll have full 2G signal, and randomly the data will shut off. Sometimes for a few minutes, sometimes for hours. But the phone signal remains on full... it's weird. And 3G coverage seems to be getting worse instead of better. None of this makes sense either since in March o2 apparently rolled out 900 Mhz 3G across most major UK cities, meaning 3G service on a 2G band, meaning much better 3G service in areas where only 2G service was previously good. I ain't seen **** all of an improvement, like I said it seems to be going the opposite way.
UK used to be ahead of the game when it came to cell networks, it seems most other countries have not only caught up, but jumped miles ahead. 4G is pretty standard in the US now, and they were so far behind in cell networks only a few years ago.
Hey guys, I haven't done anything to my phone but all of the sudden, the data and phone signal basically quit working. I have a very hard time getting texts, phone calls etc to go though but it will eventually (usually takes a while or a few tries) and as far as data goes, I basically have no connectivity at all unless I'm on wifi. It says 3g or H every once in a while, but it's really slow and usually doesn't stay for long. I'm running CM9, and like I said before I didn't change anything that I'm aware of that would have caused this problem. It worked fine before, and it just stopped. Ideas? Thanks

have you called your provider? maybe its on their end.
I'm having the same exact problem... it shows my 3g it shows all my bars but instead of the bars being colored or the 3g be in color is gray. Also I cannot get back conectivity until I restart the phone. Does anybody have an idea what this is?
Are you on AT&T? I was not having any problems until a certain point in time, and I didn't change or do anything to incite them. I'm not even getting calls anymore, I'll just get all my texts in a wave every few hours. My data is useless, it won't stream, or load web pages, and my phone is frequently saying "Emergency calls only" when I'm sitting at my freaking house (which normally has full 3g and cell signal and is very fast)
This just started occuring with my 9020a on AT&T the first week of March. I switched SIM cards twice, spent about an hour on the phone with ATT, and sent the device back to Samsung who rolled back the software to 2.3.4 and the Radio to UKE1.
I still have the issue. Samsung says its not them. ATT does nothing. It;s liek the phone just stopped working, started dropped calls, missing calls, and the internet connection sucks. I have an iphone for work through ATT as well and have no issues with signal.
ANy help is appreciated.
Hmm
Make sure you have the right, most up to date settings for APN, and flash original radios. if it still doesn't work, make sure you have the i9020A, which has the at&t 3g antenna, not i9020T which has the T-Mobile antenna, vice versa.
Have you tried other radios for your device (make sure you flash the appropriate ones for your model)? Any signal info under Phone Information when dialing *#*#4636#*#*?

Sounds like you're having the exact same problem I am having. I switched sim cards, flashed different roms, etc and nothing. (although to be fair, after the new sim, things work better, but still not well) I'm about ready to pop my sim back in my craptivate and just go with that... or buy an iphone off of craigslist.

I am 100% sure I have the 9020a, but I don't know anything about APN and flashing radios. I have only ever flashed full roms before, so I wouldn't know where to look for the original radio.

I have not tried other radios. The signal info seems solid, sitting at my house, but the 3g is still horridly slow. It taked 15-30 seconds to load a webpage, even a pretty mundane one like google. Messages still come through in waves, and often won't send
About your APN, AT&T should provide you with the proper values to put in under Settings | Wireless & Network | More | Mobile Networks | Access Points Names.
If you are on ICS, they values should populate by themselves.
Can you try flashing other radios and see if you encounter the same problem:

Make sure you backup your EFS folder (and all data for that matter).
I had similar problems, they were related to turning 3g on/off with a APN widget while the phone had little signal. As soon as started enabling and disabling 3g on the android options everything was back normal.

the data works most of the time now it's just retardedly slow. I can't stream music even on low quality, nor can I watch youtube without leaving it for 5 minutes to buffer,pages take forever to load, and I was downloading a 6 meg app and it took 20 minutes to download whenI was leaving the phone alone and not moving. I got really sick of trying to fix it and finally gave it to geeksquad to send in to get replaced. sigh.
So my phone has terrible signal now ever since I got home from college. I remember it was sorta spotty where I lived but never this bad... I have around 40% time without a signal! It's so bad I can't even text... My messages just don't send half the time. I got a new Sim card only a couple months ago so I feel like replacing that won't help.
I checked my mother's phone and she has the same prl version which is 15287.
Her mobile network type is is set to global and on the status page displays: cdma - even Rev. A, while mine on the same settings displays just LTE for the network type.
I keep bouncing back and forth between global and LTE/CDMA the past couple months, im just going to leave it at global and see if it gets better here... Any sure way to load all the defaults?
I feel like my phone is just getting too old, I've got my upgrade in August but do you guys have any suggestions on how to make my signal better? Also what is the default network type for Verizon I thought (was told in the past) it was LTE/CDMA but when I checked my mother's phone it was set to global?!

So my phone has terrible signal now ever since I got home from college. I remember it was sorta spotty where I lived but never this bad... I have around 40% time without a signal! It's so bad I can't even text... My messages just don't send half the time. I got a new Sim card only a couple months ago so I feel like replacing that won't help.
I checked my mother's phone and she has the same prl version which is 15287.
Her mobile network type is is set to global and on the status page displays: cdma - even Rev. A, while mine on the same settings displays just LTE for the network type.
I keep bouncing back and forth between global and LTE/CDMA the past couple months, im just going to leave it at global and see if it gets better here... Any sure way to load all the defaults?
I feel like my phone is just getting too old, I've got my upgrade in August but do you guys have any suggestions on how to make my signal better?

I've been having recent issues in my area too. Seems to have started when my PRL was updated (15310) or potentially it is my sim (which I also replaced recently).
In any case, this is what I did to try and resolve it

It now switches correctly to 3G when there is a 4G signal. However, you SMS messages should send regardless of whether or not you have a 3 or 4G signal. MMS will be an issue though. As far as whether it is on Global or LTE, it won't make a difference in reception. You'll have better battery life on LTE/CDMA than on global as there is no need to have the GSM radios active if you aren't using them.

Hmmm thanks for the information! It seems like that could be what is happening to me. But weird enough typing *#97328640# in the dialer doesn't work?! It just says call could not be completed!
I hope this problem doesn't carry over when I get a new Sim / phone.
Also is disabling -eHRPD a wise thing to do? Also I left my phone on global and it moves to -eHRPD and I have good signal but my texts still arent sending for some reason but then it switches to CDMA 1xRTT and thats when im able to send texts but constanlty switches to Unknown/ no service and then after no serviece for a but back to -eHRPD?
