Sensation 3G

Hi guys!
I bought my Sensation from Vodafone, Italy. It was unlocked, but branded. The problem is, Im using the phone in Romania and neither before, nor after debranding it, I am not able to receive 3G signal. Please help!

Have you checked you have the APN's for your mobile network?

Thanls 4 answering dude!
I don't have a data plan, but I know that 3G signal should be displayed regardless of this. I have debranded it and installed this stock ROM: RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.2_Radio_10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_208857_signed
Does that U I have bolded has anything to do with the signal?

No, I don't think so. You should get 3G regardless of what radio version you have.
Check you have the correct APN set up via this: http://www.htc.com/help/uk/howto_iframe.aspx?id=52432&type=1&p_id=399
It should be something like Vodafone PAYG WAP or T-Mobile Contract WAP.

I don't have a data plan. It should still display 3G, event without a data plan, right? What could it be?

I assume you have a SIM card inserted? If so, what network is the SIM card?

What network? Like, what provider? Cosmote Romania.
And my HTC is a Z710e model.

Yep, that. You need an APN to connect to the 3G network.
Please try follow these instructions and then reboot:
- Press Main
- Select Settings
- Select Wireless and Networks
- Select Mobile Networks
- Select Access point Names
- Delete all APN's in this section.
- Press Menu
- Press New APN
- Enter the follow settings one for General Data . The other for MMS

I'm not sure if it would have helped, cause in order to connect to 3G I don't only need to set my phone, but to be allowed to use the network,too, which is done by the provider.
My other phone didn';t need an APN in order to receive and display the 3G sign.
Incorrect settings...
Maybe I did something wrong, assuming that I don't need to have activated a data plan.
Ididn't really understand the last line "Enter the follow settings one for General Data . The other for MMS". Where do I make this modifications. I have created an access point as in your example, but how about the MMS one?
Thanks for helping dude, I really appreciate this!
Bottom line: without a valid APN, the phone isn't able to connect on 3G (like voice and video call?)

I see!
The instructions were taken off this website: http://www.unlockit.co.nz/mobilesettings/settings.php?id=153
I didn't think you'd need the MMS settings so didn't quote them.
Without 3G you should still be able to get voice calls and texts but no Mobile Internet.
If the APN didn't work I'm not sure what the problem is to be honest. Usually when people report 3G not working it is just an APN that needs tweaking.

I see.
Well, my question was: Must I have a data plan for 3G signal on HTC Sensation?
I can call and text, but I was wonderring if I could initiate a Vido call too.

No, you shouldn't need a data plan for 3G signal.
You should be able to Video call over Wi-Fi but not over 3G.

Then, that means I have a problem, or I only need to create a valid APN?
Sry 4 bothering dude, but this is my first Android phone...

With and without 3g.
If your 3g network is turned off, because you don't have internet plan, 3 g icon is not showing up. Only signal bars.

You mean that, even if I choose WCDMA only, but don't have a data plan, my phone won't receive 3G? Is that it?

If you turn mobile network On , 3g icon will appear, otherwise on his place is nothing. 3g is for internet only I mean E,G,3G and H. They show you how strong is your internet connection on the moment.

Hey there . On a site i found different APN to create:
Cosmote
Hope it helps.

Guys, thanks for everything, but I managed somehow to find the answer by myself.
It seems that my phone was connected on 3G, but the 3G icon only appears when data transfer is made. If there is no data transfer involved, the phone still connects to 3G, when this network is available, but the 3G icon is not displayed.
If you want to see what kind of network is in your area, just go in dual mode network ( Settings> Wireless & Networks> Mobile network and from the Network menu, choose GSM.WCDMA auto, which is the default setting anyway) and then check it in Settings> About Phone> Network> Mobile Network Type. Here, you should be able to see HSDPA or EDGE, or whatever.
That's all. Cheers!

Mobile network drop/connection issues

I've noticed at times my phone will lose signal but it won't show on the status bar. For example, see below:

it says I have a 1 bar connection but I wasn't receiving any calls (i was testing out google voice from my gmail). I went to the settings and saw that it was trying to connect to the network.
anybody else have this issue or have a solution?

I'm having the same issue,and I know my phone is provisioned correctly (i worked for att until a couple weeks ago). I don't know of a fix yet, but I've noticed it only seems to happen when I'm coming out of an extremely poor service area.

I posted similar issues in the king cobra thread.
I have massive signal data drops. Ive even had to delete my apns, reboot and manually add them to restore.
Its becoming a real pita. Never had the problem on stock. 1.73. Might roll back to test.

I was having the same issue.. until I did a factory data reset and installed the latest CleanROM Standard. Everything works well now with no data drops

I have the same issue. I've had 2 phones swapped out because of it but it's done it on every single one. If I'm inside my work where I have issues with getting a signal and then go outside the phone will show I have full signal in the status bar but I wont be able to make/receive phone calls or send/receive text messages. The only way to fix it is toggle airplane mode or reboot the phone. Drives me CRAZY!!!!

Will try this today and post back. I'm just happy I'm not the only member of the club.
If the issue is software related Im sure a fix will be along. If its hardware there will be a recall I hope. Rogers is notorious for refurbished replacements.

1.88 radio and kernel fixes this. I also returned a phone because of it. New one still did it untill I ran the 1.88 ruu and changed APN. You probably don't need to run ruu but you should install the 1.88 radio and kernel. This will fix the mobile data issues, dropped calls and not being able to call out with full bars. The APN for AT&T is on page 4 or 5 of the 1.88 thread. Ill locate it and post back.
Ok this is for ATT. I'm Sure Rogers is easy enough to find.

I'm confused, why do you need to manually create another APN setting? Those you listed are the default on mine.

Just add in the different things under "APN Type" they make a difference.

If it is correct then you do not need to change. I'm not sure but they could be updated by your rom developer. When installing the 1.88 ruu only,the apn had to always be updated. If anyone is still having connection issues verify you are on 1.88 kernel and radio. Just because a custom rom says 1.88 base that normally doesn't include kernel and radio. Both ate available for flashing in dev section.

There is nothing different. That is exactly the same as what is already listed on my AT&T phone.
Edit: didn't see your post above. Maybe cleanrom automatically fixes it. Who knows.

Having the same issue.
I have to reboot my phone for it to work. On the stick 1.73 I never had this problem.

Not sure if it's a problem with the radio, but after installing 1.88 kernel, it definitely fixed a similar issue that I had, which was that LTE was not restoring after losing signal.

[Q] MMS APN is fixed - any workaround??

Hi,
I recently bought a Verizon HTC One M8 - advertised as SIM free (which it seems to be) - for use with Vodafone in the UK (GSM). Everything is fine... except...
I can neither send nor receive MMS messages.
This is due, I think, to the MMS APN being fixed to a specific setting by Verizon. I have tried everything I can think of to remove this but with no success.
* Of course, I've tried adding the required APN using the normal phone UI.
* I've tried editing the '/system/etc/apns-conf.xml' file.
* I've used the APN backup and restore app to remove all APNs and then manually added the required APN.
* Other stuff too, but with no success at all.
Mobile data works with no problems but any MMS APN seems to be ignored and MMS messages are not possible.
It is quite possible that the MMS APN is only locked when NOT roaming. Presumably, when roaming, even a Verizon customer would need to be able to access a non Verizon specific APN for MMS messages. I am, however, mostly in the UK with a UK SIM and so am not roaming! Next time I am abroad, I will enter the appropriate APN for the signal provider and test if I can use MMS while roaming (although, as a rule, I never enable mobile data when roaming due to the ridiculous costs this can incur).
Is there a workaround for Verizon's seemingly hard coded MMS APN ???
Presumably, the information lies somewhere in the phone but I cannot find it anywhere. Is it actually hard coded into a Verizon specific app or lib? If so, could I replace the offending module with a non Verizon variant?
My phone is unlocked, s-off, rooted, superCID, etc., etc. but is running pretty well stock VZW software (Android V4.4.2) although I've changed a lot of the Verizon customised settings back to standard HTC. This was achieved by editing the various "default.xml" files in '/system/customize/ACC', 'CID' & 'MNS' folders.
I use the standard messaging app (not the Verizon one). I don't know if this is HTC specific or a default Android app.
Many thanks in advance for some useful advice!

Apns are not editable anymore they are chosen by the network apn you select. You must go here and add the carrier you have by name and reboot. Once you have done that your mms apn will match your carrier.
Settings, mobile data , network preferences, three dot menu and click add. Click add operator and add all of your carrier's listings. Once done reboot.

Sounds great but...
Whatever I do to my 'Network Preference List' is lost and reset to some default carriers on reboot.
I can add providers, remove providers, reorder the list etc. I can save the changes (at least close everything and reopen) and they are still there (MMS doesn't work still).
When I reboot, the list always comes back the same... about 15 entries, mostly European Vodafone, but unfortunately not Vodafone UK.
I tried restoring an old backup (made before I messed with any settings) and the same thing happens.
I will spend a little time investigating where this default list comes from and whether I can modify it (or disable the reset on each reboot).
Any more suggestions?

I did this on the post you told me dottat and I don't get any carries at all. The phone asks me to enter the MCNMNN number. When I do, and I exit those setings the phone does not seem to save them. I tried to reboot the phone after entering the settings and everything resets back to default.
I don't know if this helps but when I install the Verizon SIM all the carriers reappear, however when I install the T-Mobile SIM everything disappears.

Did you select it after adding it? The loaded list can only keep defaults until they are actually selected and activated.

Try using textra from the play store...you can set apn in the app

Not solved, but working so far
I am currently running CleanROM 3.0(VZW 4.4.4 stock+root-bloatware), S-OFF. My carrier is Claro Argentina, voice & text work flawless.
I tried everything on this and other posts, but I am unable to add or edit an existing APN, every menu option is grey shadeded, unavailable. I do have a "New Apn" option in GSM/UMTS preferences but only the APN field is editable and would not let me save any changes, as other fields are required to complete APN data. In Network preference list there are a lot of options which can be rearranged but not deleted nor added.
In the APN list I only had VZWInternet and on edit options only APN could be changed(every other option gray shaded, too). So I replaced existing APN with "igprs.claro.com.ar"(my APN in Argentina), then the APN name immediately changed to "Internet" and connected to 3G/H+.
Turned off/on and setup was kept and phone still connected.

LG G Pro 2 F350L no 4G D838 rom?

I Just flashed my F350L to D838 rom to get a clean experience from all the Korean apps and everything is perfect but no 4g LTE option . The dialer codes do work but its annoying doing that every reboot.

If your device is rooted then install Build Prop Editor from Google Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/...editor&pcampaignid=APPU_1_6N8ZVrkTx5FolN-TiAM.
Open it and in the search field type telephony so it will find a line called ro.telephony.default_network. Open that setting and instead of default value (I suppose it's number 8) you can put 10 or 12. Save that change and than reboot your device. You will now have LTE in your network settings. I hope it will work for you...

Go to mobile network settings and set GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto and then activate mobile data option. Exit and don't enter the settings again because if you enter it will change this option to GSM/WCDMA preferred for some unknown reason. 4G is working and you can easily disable and enable mobile data now from notification drawer. But don't enter the settings! I know that this is not permanent solution for this problem. It's anoying to me too. But it's little bit better than typing those dialer codes every time...

Hello AndroidBrick, stumbled onto your site while looking for solution. I am Nigerian and I use an LG G Pro (D838, 32GB). Some days back i noticed that i had no network on my phone so I tried inserting another sim into the device and still got the same result but other devices around had network coverage. I changed the network mode to GSM only and got 2G but WCDMA only gives me nothing. I have tried other sims on GSM only mode and got 2G but when i change the mode to WCDMA only, i get nothing at all. Have also put it to GSM/WCDMA auto but keeps giving me just 2G network only. I have even had to downgrade the OS from android 5.0.1 to 4.4.2 as suggested by a friend and still got the same issue(NB: this happened after I received a notification form LG to download an upgrade of about 54MB). Decided to manage it that way as I went on looking for solutions to that problem but with no luck and then the bluetooth and wifi stopped connecting. Please, what should i do? Any other information you would need from me, please I will do all I can to provide to you. Thank you in advance.

[GUIDE][Edit APN]Enable native mobile hotspot NO ROOT[Snapdragon S9+]

All credit goes to BlueFox721 as this was a method he discovered on the Note 8. I tested it and it seems to be working and it does not appear to count against hotspot data (i'm on Sprint). Settings still stuck after reboot!
Step 1 - Download Shortcut Master Lite from the Play Store.
Step 2 - Open Shortcut Master Lite and select the Menu (three vertical dots in the upper right).
Step 3 - Select App Explorer, and then All Apps
Step 4 – Navigate (scroll down) to com.test.LTEfunctionality and select.
Step 5 – Select the first item labled "LTEFunctionalityTest" and select launch.
Step 6 – Scroll down to LTE APN Setting and select.
Step 7 –Select APN2 LTE internet (Sprint) or your carrier internet APN.
Step 8 - Scroll down to APN type and select.
Step 9 - Add "DUN" to the setting (it should read "default,mms,DUN") without quotations.
Step 10 - Select Menu and save your settings
Congratulations, your device now has Native Hotspot without having to toggle data!
Original thread is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/how-to/guide-enable-hotspot-t3675986
If your APN settings get greyed out, dial ##brand# from the dialer. After your phone restarts, your APN settings should be editable again.

IF someone has another SIM they can test it with, perhaps APN settings CAN be added. If I had another carrier's SIM, i'd test it now.

This method does not work on Sprint build U1ARBG (March Ota update) I also tried this method with the build that the s9+ ships with, but it didn't work either.

I'll give it a shot on T-Mobile.... Thanks for sharing!
*edit*
It will not allow me to change APN Type and ADD DUN on TMO...

Thanks. It worked for me. I am on G965U1 on Sprint.

Trying exiting out of Shortcut Master Lite and starting from step 1 again. My settings were greyed out at first, but when I went back in, like magic, the settings were no longer grey. I hope that works. I restarted my phone and I am still able to edit the settings.

this allows hotspot but it still counts your data right?

Trying exiting out of Shortcut Master Lite and starting from step 1 again. My settings were greyed out at first, but when I went back in, like magic, the settings were no longer grey. I hope that works. I restarted my phone and I am still able to edit the settings.

Yeah, not working here. Thank you for the video though.
Prior to the U1ARBG update the APN2 EHRPD Internet I was able to add the DUN, but LTE Internet was greyed out.
Now I can't even edit EHRPD

Seems to count against your regular data, BUT not hotspot data.

I'm on T-Mobile and all I did was add a new APN in the Mobile Networks setting page, copy everything from the default/grayed out APN but added "dun" at the end of the APN type and it seems to be working for me.
I've maxed my hotspot data allotment so I should be getting speeds in the kbps but I'm getting 10+ mbps with this change. Still counts towards regular data though.

Can this work on tmobile network Cruz ican add to my line igot really old plan if I want add hotspot yo my line I got pay more for my old plan

Sweet! Working on my Sprint G965USQU1ARBG.
BUT, I recall that this same mod worked on the S7 Edge when it was first introduced, but eventually a Sprint update reversed the edit and wouldn't allow you to edit the APN settings. Let's hope that doesn't happen here.

This method does not work on Sprint build U1ARBG (March Ota update) I also tried this method with the build that the s9+ ships with, but it didn't work either.

Odd, it's working for me.

Just want to confirm i bought the unlocked S9 plus at bestbuy today and tethering hot spot works out of the box on the Verizon grand father unlimited plan. i didnt get the annoying add telling me i had to pay $29.99 to use the hot spot feature. I took some screen shots for you guys to prove it

Working fine here on Unlocked GS9+ with Sprint SIM card.

Thank you. I'm able to modify and add new APNs using this method. I have the USA unlocked version.

With my Sprint S9 Snapdragon, I have been scouring the internet for two days almost nonstop, simply hoping to find some magical way to prevent Sprint from forcing my tether to be capped. I have tried dialer options, I have tried every random HiddenMenu shortcut, I have tried ADB CMD and trying to rewrite the APN by hand, I have tried going into the settings and going through Mobile Networks, I have tried mounting /system in the recovery menu, I looked into changing the CSC because it's linked to APN locking... I've literally tried it all.
PDANet+, FoxFi, EasyTether, ClockworkMod Tether ... none of them would work. They would automatically be stuck at 2mbps instead of my normal 30 to 40. Hiding tether/hotspot this way was NOT an option at all.
And then following this to go into the APN settings, exiting out, then going back in again... it finally let me change the god damn junk! THANK GOD
Specifically, I think I had to do it in this order:
1) Open the Shortcut Master Lite and open LTEFunctionalityTest
2) Open LTE APN Setting
3) Open an APN you want to change.
3) If it's greyed out, close everything and then restart from #1.
4) When done editing, save, and you should be good to go.
If that doesn't work even after trying repeatedly (make sure Shortcut Master Lite is completely closed, etc) ... then you can try the following which allowed me to edit the APN on a sister Sprint S9+ phone:
1) Dialer App, ##3282# (DATA)
2) Edit
3) Sprint MSL for mine is 000000
4) APN Settings
5a) "APN" and "APN protocol" should be editable. Make a minor change, save your APN.
5b) Then change them back, save the APN again. Do this for each APN you want full access to.
6) Open the Shortcut Master Lite and open LTEFunctionalityTest
7) Open LTE APN Setting
8) If it's greyed out, close everything and then restart from #6.
9) After you finish editing, save, and you should be good to go.
Consider this working on a Sprint S9+ & Sprint S9 Snapdragon SM-G960U - 8.0.0 Oreo Build Feb 10th

This is very important to me because I live in the country. There are no internet service providers out here, they refuse to run data lines. My Hotspot is the only option I have and I switched to Sprint from Verizon for x3 faster speeds.
Again, thank you very much. If this didn't work, I would have had to wait until TWRP or Root was possible on Snapdragon to change the APN.

Anyone know the package name for the Sprint Hotspot App? I'd like to be certain I only use the native hotspot by freezing the Sprint version using Package Disabler Pro.
