An odd situation... my HTC works only in 3G mode, once it switches to EDGE I am unable to receive or make any calls and send messages. When choosing Settings -> Phone -> Band I have both Network and GSM/UMTS on Auto, in case I choose Network GSM it takes forever to load and once it does no calls can be made.
Tried different Radios and ROMs, problem remains.
Current ROM: 5.05.401.1 WWE
Radio Version: 1.08.25.20
Protocol: 52.44.25.24W
Any one got any suggestions. Thanks in advance
Is there a setting for the bands also on the same page where you have the option of GSM/UMTS? if so make that Auto

Just installed ranjus rom with radio 1.18. Few questions...
1)it still comes up with the o2 splash screen when I turn on, and it asked me all the o2 question(it is originally an o2 xda exec). I wouldve thought installing a totally new rom wouldve wiped all this??
2) im now using my orange sim in it, but it won't connect to a 3G singal(it didn't do this before I put ranjus rom on it either)
O2 Extended Rom Customisations Are Probably Not Compatible With WM6.1
You Need To Flash The Extended Rom To Remove All The O2 Customisations.
Go Into Your Phone Options And Set The Band To Auto To Enable 3G/GPRS And Not Just GPRS. (GSM = GPRS & UMTS = 3G)
Download The HTC Network Settings Tool And It Will Configure Your Device With The Settings Required For Your Selected Network.
Hope That Solves Your Problems.

I tried to change the band from gsm to auto but it just goes back to gsm and greys all the boxes out! do I need to use that prog you gave the link to?
edit:think I got it to change the band to auto, still not on a 3g network but maybe I am outta range.
the device kept turning off like it was outta battery, but it said there was like 30% left, now im on mains power its workin ine.
can I flash th extended rom witout looisng all the settings and progs I've just loaded on?
I Believe So...
I Think You Can Just Make Sure Theirs No "radio_.nbf" (Radio Rom) Or "nk.nbf" (CE OS Rom) In The Flash Utility Folder.
Then Run The Flash Utility And Dont Perform A Hard Reset After Flashing.
It Should Then Only Update The Extended Rom. The Problem Is If You Have Already Let The Device Autoconfigure,
Alot Of The Crap From The Manufacturers Standard Rom Will Still Be Installed On Your Device.
The Best Way To Remove Would Be A Hard Reset But That Means Having To Reconfigure And Reinstall Etc.
Oh And To Answer Your Previous Question About The O2 Logo, Ranju's Rom Doesnt Flash That Area Of The Device Thus Leaving The O2 Logo Intact.
Their Are Ways To Customise This Logo If You Like.

I will have a tinker later on when im at home in front of my computer. Any idea why I can't get 3G reception? its enabled in the control panel.
So does anyone have any idea why I cant get 3G network reception? Im on radio 1.15 now.
For those of you who can get 3G reception...When you go to Settings>Phone>Network>(Network Selection) Manual...Does it show the regular networks (i.e 'Orange', 'O2 - UK' etc) AND the 3G network (i.e 'Orange 3G', 'O2 - UK 3G' etc)?
Sim Card Possibly.
No The Networks Are All Called The Same Its Just The Radio Bands Used To Connect Data Services That Differ.
Maybe Your SimCard Isnt A 3G Sim Or It Isnt 3G Enabled?
If The Sim Is Not A 3G Sim It Would Only Use GSM I Believe.

it is definstely a 3g card as it works in my other phone! does everyone get 3g reception on orange using a g3 o2xda with ranju rom and radio 1.15?
Isn't there ANYONE on orange in here??? I have had a look around and I think most of the Orange network runs on a 900MHz UMTS freqency. And it looks like the Uni only supports 1900MHz
UMTS on Ranju 7.7
I am on Orange, using Ranju 7.7 and radio 1.18. I had the same problem as you with the default Phone parameters, but I was able to change the band setting to "Auto" in the phone options. Thus GSM Band became "EGSM+DCS1800" and UMTS Band "UMTS 2100". And after a while the 3G icon appeared !
Universal bad for 3G
i can only say that universal has very bad 3g(UMTS connection) because when most other phones show 4 bars for 3g..my o2 exec only give 1 bar..but it is OK for 2g or GPRS...anyone agree??
Well I just flashed my voda v1640 with ranju v77 Rom, and shows good UMTS performance with italian "TIM" network, both for signal strength and for internet browsing.
the Radio is 1.14.10 (it should be the original one...)
I was looking for a solution to my occasional SMS 'failure to send' error notification.
Noticed that the GSM carried SMS text were providing some send/receive errors.
I'm on Sprint stock OS & noticed that it came from factory as: Settings>Connections>Advanced Network on GSM for SMS transmissions. Always thought that was odd.
The only other option for SMS is GPRS which is a derivative of GSM.
Both had Preferred as additional options.
So I tried GPRS Preferred & GPRS by itself & it seems to have eliminate the errors.
Any advice on 1 or the other?
Anecdotally - I selected GPRS Preferred & my error issue went away.
But the settings changed back to GSM for me when I do a soft reset.
So the Advanced Network settings for SMS won't stick....keeps defaulting back to GSM.
I have my phone network setting as CDMA only.
Any ideas?
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.
I got a bad ESN on my d2g. Is it bad for global use?
I'm using a forgein simcard from Vodafone NL. but I can't get the mobile internet working. EDGE as wel as 3G and HSDPA doesn't work for me. I will test it with t-mobile NL this weekend. Is this because of the bad ESN or lack of UMTS radio bands?
Any suggestions?
Edit: I already tried a hard reset, sbf and custom rom. The APN is set correctly.
I called vodafone and went to the store but they couldn't help me there.
At *#*#4636#*#* -> phone information -> radio bands -> Only USA band shows up.
Tested with T-Mobile and it works. So going back to the vodafone store.
...try Hard reset, then set Network Mode to GSM\UMTS, and Select Network to Automatic.
For Better GSM signal Select Network to GSM Only. In GSM Only works only EDGE internet connection.
Already tried, but with no succes, thanks for the reply
Have you added the required APN configuration?

well just so you know the ESN is only used on CDMA networks such as verizon, anything else would use the IMEI of the phone which is more of a international serial number so if the esn is bad it shouldn't matter because your network wouldn't even use the esn
I edited my TS, because I forgot to mention what I already tried

I have 9 options there, none of which says "USA band".
Here is the list I get:
WCDMA preferred
GSM only
WCDMA only
*GSM auto (PRL) (selected)
CDMA auto (RPL)
CDMA only
EvDo only
GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)
Unknown
Also - this is called "Set preferred network type", not "radio bands". I don't see "radio bands" anywhere under 'phone information'.
Try to flash the 2.4.29 full SBF. This should reflash radio and everything. Also - 2.4.330 has crappier radio performance when it comes to GSM/UMTS part of the phone. I would recommend you to stay with 2.4.29 if you are not using the phone on Verizon's CDMA
I mean radio bands try *#*#4636#*#* -> phone information -> menu -> radio bands ->
Already tried that SBF I didn't know there was another.
I gave up on the network because mister not so nice at the counter of the vodafone store. He basically said, We don't have it in our system so we can't help you! I switched to KPN NL and I have 3G and HSDPA without a lot of fuzz.
Hey all,
I just moved to France with a i9020a Rogers phone. According to this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Google_Nexus_S) my phone can cover the 2100 frequency band and according to this (http://www.worldtimezone.com/gsm.html) France's 3g frequency is 2100. I just got a SIM card and my text and calls seem to be working, however, I can't use data at all. Any ideas?
Phone info:
Type: Rogers i9020A
ROM: 4.0.3 stock
Kernel: eugene's
Radio: UCKE1

I tried following the steps below, however, after deactivating and activating my phone radio and pressing menu my phone just went back to the home screen. I remember doing this with gingerbread and having a new screen asking which country and provider I had. Can anyone else do step 5 with ICS?
1. Go to Dialer. Dial *#*#4636#*#*
2. Go to Phone information. Choose the preferred network to
"GSM Auto PRL" or "CDMA Auto PRL" or whatever you have.
3. Scroll down, deactivate and activate Phone Radio.
4. Press Menu button.
5. Select Phone frequency, then choose your country.
6. In the previous menu push the Home button to go back to Homescreen.
7. Reboot.

Gotten edge working
Update:
I have tried flashing several different radios with no luck. I did find that I did not have any APN settings so I found the APN settings for my provider (http://mobile.free.fr/faq-config-apn-autres.html) and now I have EDGE .
Since I can only have one APN configuration selected at a time how do I configure the MMS to work? Will configuring it under a new configuration work or do I incorporate it into my current configuration.
And of course I still can't get that blasted 3G to work.
Any help would be appreciated!
Solved:
After flashing my original radio (UCKE1) on my phone my 3G is now working . To configure my MMS (for free mobile anyway) I used the APN settings provided by Liel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1452220). I hope this helps anyone who's having trouble in the future.
Cheers!
