So I upgraded my phone to 2.3.4, and now when I search for mobile networks(network operators for voice, not data), only Rogers Wireless is visible...
I'm with Koodo(Telus), so obviously I can't connect to it. Can someone please shed some light on what might be wrong? Thanks
So are you connecting to a Rogers tower and roaming, or you have no data or what? Just because they all say rogers, doesnt mean they dont work. My phone used to list Sasktel for all towers (Bell, Telus or rogers) but i could connect to them
So what is the issue? If your data isnt working, maybe after the upgrade you have to put ur APN settings back in for data. I usually have to when i upgrade as Slacktels stuff isnt in there
Maybe a reboot will help? Switch to airplane mode and back? Maybe your in an area where Koodoo is weak but rogers isnt. Just spitballing here!
Cheers!
Fixed my problem. The location band changed somehow, but i changed it back to USA. Works fine now

Hello everyone,
I have a Sprint TP2, which i have done the following in order:
1. Flash Hard SPL
2. Sim Unlock - (found out this actually wasn't necessary, but made donation anyway)
3. Flash Radio (2.05.00.WU)
The above all done according to instructions from this forum.
4. Plugged in a T-Mobile sim card, switched to GSM only Manual, found the network, made a call. Worked fine.
5. Flashed new Rom (EnergyROM_21864_RHOD500_09.Nov.2009_StandardM2.5)
Started using it on Sprint, everything was fine. Switched over the T-Mobile, seemed ok at first... but now problems begin:
a. Tried connecting 3G and get online via T-Mobile, seemed to work for a minute.
b. Tried using GPRS (2G, turned off 3G), seemed to work intermittently.
c. Noticed couldn't stay on T-Mobile's network, even though when signal was good.
d. I thought the data connection was causing the problem, but turning off all data connections didn't help. Gets connected, then soon gets dropped. Still couldn't stay on T-Mobile.
This same T-Mobile card works perfectly with the original T-Mobile TP2, and works find on another LG phone. So it's not the card or account issue. I don't know what could've caused this, is it the new Radio? or is it the Rom?
Can anyone give suggestions on how to cure this? Thanks!
James
**Edit - sorry, found the dialog is going on at another thread. But just thought this might need to be in a separate thread anyway.
I Am having a similar issue.
I too am having the same exact issue. Has anyone got the SPRINT: HTC Touch Pro 2 working on T-Mobile? I Have Both, The one for T-Mobile and Sprint.... I Just Like Sprint Phone a lot better.
i have the same issue. even when i go into the gsm/umts services and change the band to 1900/850.
i also seem to have an issue where it shows i am connected to the network and i can make calls and send text but can not receive them unless i manually reconnect to the network or do a soft reset.
i'm also looking for a fix for this exact problem
Similar problem with Sprint phone on AT&T network
I have a Sprint touch pro 2 unlocked, using on AT&T network. Thought it was working good, but now I see it keeps dropping me, asking me again if I want to connect to the network. I can toggle the Flight mode on/off, and it'll reconnect.
Anyone know a solution to this problem?
Hey people, i wanna know if someone has the same trouble than me. The last month I bought a Htc Inspire 4g unlocked, everything´s well, have it a gsm pink sim card, the signal is good and even the gprs speed´s faster than my old phone, the troubles begin when I decided go to the ICE and try to change my old line to a 3g line and have more speed data plan(ICE works with 850 band), the problem is that when I try to connect the HSDPA data plan my phone says that I have an error on the APN configuration but I still can make phone calls, and everything else it´s allright, I tried everything, the ICE configuration on Android is just the same to all the phones, Name kolbi3g or ice, and APN kolbi3g or icecelular and thats all, no proxy, no chanels, and I put in on that in my phone and still doesn´t works, It´s frustrating, if someone in Costa Rica knows the configuration of the APN for this phone I´ll apreciated if can help me
You should check if your phone is really connecting to the HDSPA network. Do you see a H on the top instead of a G or E?
Try the following command: *#*#INFO*#*# (*#*#4636*#*#). There you can check connection status, it's on the first option. Please post what kind of network it's showing and the status, this could help to see if it's really the APN or maybe something else.
Ey thanks for the answer, yeah it has the h+ in top part, it recognizes the hsdpa signal but I still has the same problem doesn't connect cause it says that I having a wrong APN configuration, if somebody knows the APN configuration for this phone here in Costa Rica I'll be appreciated
Hey everyone,
So i noticed my tablet will no longer connect to LTE. I know i am in a lte area as my D4 has lte service.
I know the tablet sees the lte signal as one of my war driving application will see the different network type.
Anyways does anyone know how to do something like a factory reset of the radios and APN settings.
Oh, i forgot to note, i tried hard resetting the tablet, trying different builds of ICS and even going back to the lte version of HC.
I have put my sim in another 4g device and the device gets 4g just fine
This may sound a little stupid, but did you check your preferred network mode to make sure it was set to LTE/CDMA and not CDMA only?

Yeah, i made sure. I made sure to toggle it to cdma only and back to lte/cdma mode and no dice. I even forced it using the field test menus.
No dice. I see after it sees lte it just kind of sits there. It doesnt indicate it trying to connect or anything, then it drops back to evdo rev a mode
Bump, anyone have any ideas?
Im having the same issue. While I don't have another 4G device to check it with, I used to get a great 4G signal, now nothing.
i have to reboot in order for the 4g data to work again but it only stays on for about a minute and then it stops working again. everything else on the phone works ( text, voice, wifi etc...) I read somewhere that flashing different radios might fix it but im not sure about that. anyone else experience this and have a work around? i am currently on baseband i535VRLG1
Thanks In advance
i called Verizon and they said it may be the sim card thats damaged. if that were the case wouldnt voice and text fail as well?

I'm having the same issues recently. I've always gotten a 4G signal at my house (albeit not the strongest one) but lately, my phone will not hold on to the connection. When coming off of wifi, my phone will not acquire a data connection at all most of the time. I can still send/receive texts and calls but there is no 4G or 3G icon, no MMS, and no data. I have to toggle the radios on/off, or change from CDMA/LTE to Global (or GSM) and back, put in airplane mode, or restart.....there is no guarantee any one of those steps will work. Sometimes I have to do it repeatedly until I get my data connection back but it is only temporary.
I'm on the i535VRBMF1 baseband and updated to the ML1 modem to try and resolve but to no avail. I have replaced my sim card (as I initially though that was the issue) but it has not helped either.
The only thing I can think of is that my PRL may have been updated (it is currently 15310) and it's causing issues with the towers in my area.
I just got back from Hawaii and was also in San Diego for a few days and had absolutely no issues. It seems to only be an issue now when I'm at my house which makes me think it is something VZW network related and nothing to do with my phone per say. It's really driving me nuts though.
BTW, I'm in Southern California (Irvine).
I seemed to have fixed the issue by reverting the baseband back to vrlf2. I had to switch from global to 4g/LTE because I vegan to inch roaming charges lol. Verizon credited me and no dropped 4g signal. So I'm happy.

What ROM are you running? I'm just curious what the implications are of running an older baseband (from the ICS days) on a newer ROM/Kernel.
I'm running cleanrom8.1 core edition. Slightly buggy but tolerable.
I was finally able to somewhat resolve my issue so I thought I'd post in case anyone else is experiencing something similar.
By using a few different apps and testing techniques, I was finally able to deduce that my issue had to do with EHRDP hand-off with the towers in the immediate vinicity to my house. I'm not sure what VZW did to them lately but it doesn't appear to be a problem in other locations so it seems like the issue is on their end (and not something to do with my phone).
In any case, it seems that when my 4G connection is weak and EHRDP is detected, it is dropping the connection entirely instead of handing if off to 3G (EVDO). The connection is also never transferred back when a 4G signal is detected either until I reset the connection where there is a moderate 4G signal.
Again, this only seems to be an issue when connected to the towers near my house and doesn't occur when traveling abroad.
To fix this, I have disabled EHRDP by doing the following:
1) Open the dialer and type *#97328640#
2) Select "[2] CDMA"
3) Select "[2] Data"
4) Select "[7] eHRPD e/disable"
5) Select "[2] Disable(*)"
6) Reboot the phone
Now my phone switches between EVDO revA. for 3G (using the native protocols) and LTE rather than relying on the broken eHRDP protocols. This workaround will have to suffice until VZW fixes stuff in my area but at least I don't miss MMS messages anymore.
Hope this helps anyone running into similar situations.
EDIT: Turns out it does work, but only for a few minutes until it disconnections. Data confirmed to work during this time period, same as text.
Ok so I've tried searching around with no hope.
I have a One S T-Mobile phone, and using it with both stock and CM, the 3G does not work.
It a few times it would connect and then jump off. It doesn't seem to even recognize the existence of 3G now. On the network selector on the quick settings panel in CM, it only lets me select 2G... setting it back to 3G prefered doesn't help at all.
I'm on WIND mobile, which the 3G uses AWS 1700/2100, which is clearly supported by this phone if you look on GSM Arena (it's the tmobile version for sure, it's pasted across the front of the phone and throughout the stock rom)
Not to mention, I'm told most, if not all, T-Mobile phones work with WIND. Is the 3G radio broken perhaps? Is there a way I can check this?
Anyone have any clue?

Ok, so apparently it does connect, but only for 2 or 3 minutes before disconnecting. The data works fine, the service works fine, but it just bails on the connection after a few minutes until i restart the phone.
