I am now in Germany and I bought myseld a Sensation yesterday.
It is: Sim Free , Without contract but with only Vodafone branding (same as many of you )
Since I inserted my simcard into the Sensation, I did NOT see a single bar of 3G/HSDPA yet !!!
However I use the same card on my Incredible S, and I get full bar 3G/HSDPA almost everywhere, then I insert the car into my Sensation absolutely no 3G/HSPDA and therefore I can not read my e-mails, my weather won`t update etc etc.
Could this be because I am roaming at the moment ? Anybody have similar issues, this is for sure Phone related as the same simcard works on my Inc S perfectly well.
I am suspecting the firmware of Vodafone has a BUG on 3G/HSDPA when roaming !!! any of you get 3G when roaming on your Sensation ?
Had the same type of problem and resolve it creating a new apn in settings. My operator wasn't recognise fine by the phone (gsm ok but no data) : virgin mobile France (virtual operator from Orange France).
For apn data you can probably found it on your operator website.
Don't know if this is really your problem but just in case ...

Bravo !!
You are clever, because this is a brand new phone and I bought it while i was abroad (roaming) my new sensation did not get the apn setting from my provider automatically. So once manually activating it , it works like a charm. Thank you.
Now all i need is S-OFF the sensation
@ ikhzter just saw your post too
I'd be willing to try this. Would either of you happen to know how to add a new APN? And also, what settings should I put in for T-Mobile US? I can only get Edge speeds, too. I have tried everything else it seems, so this couldn't hurt lol

I think it's not possible because EU Sensation doesn't have AWS band. At least GSMArena says so. I heard people saying EU Sensation also has AWS band so I'm not really sure.

Check your mode, if u are in GSM its normal, use GSM/WDCA Mode... If don't work create new APN

Hey guys!
Going to the States tomorrow, I saw this beast is quite cheap unlocked in Amazon, so I'm currently thinking of buying it.
But just to be 100% sure, is there anything is should take note on? I'm from Denmark which also use GSM and same frequencies (I think).
Thanks in advance!
If it uses the same frequencies, then you should be fine. But take note, the G2x doesn't include the FM Radio.

I've never in my life used FM radio, so I can live with that

Does the g2x support your network 3G frequencies?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Several web sites say Denmark uses 2100 MHz for 3G. Could check the phone settings under "Wireless and networks/Mobile network settings/Data enabled" and make sure data is enabled. Alos check "Network Mode" to make sure it is not on GSM only.
Both things are as you say, and i'm pretty sure MIUI (a backup) was on it for a short time, but it's doesn't connect, weird.
I'm using mine in Thailand on 2100 so that is not the problem. Almost all European carriers use 2100. Make sure you go to APNs in the Networks settings and enter the correct APN for your carrier, give it a name and save it. Then press the radio button to make the selection green. Are you using Network Enabler? That will screw you up if active the first time you are trying to connect to a new network. If you are using that uninstall it or disable it. Also get a program from the Market called Networks. Use it to make sure the phone internally is not set to 2G only. I had that happen once on a phone and it did not show in the settings menu. With that program you can set it to WCDMA Only or WCDMA Preferred. Here is a link to the program.

Did you end up using this in Europe? I'm going in fall for school & plan to travel all over. Are you using a local sim card to use it on their towers? I was thinking of just getting a pre-paid sim card there on my buddies unlocked blackberry, but I'd love to use my G2X if possible!
Thanks!
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
Not sure if this will help or not, but I was there in March (loved it, by the way) and had a little trouble getting mine to work. The problem was that I set up my apn before I went, so the mcc and mnc were set to the numbers for my home network. When I created a new apn, those numbers defaulted from ICE's network and it worked great. So if you are editing the old apn from your first network, that might the problem. Start with a new apn and see if the helps. Good luck.

My HTC Desire S seems to be connected on the Internet on 3G (H) but nothing comes through. The 2 arrows also blink but the connectivity does not seem to take place.
If i turn WIFI on it works and when i switch off WIFI - the internet get stuck
I have done hard reset, restored to factory settings and problem persists.
I tried the sim card in another phone the and internet seems to work there on 3G suggesting it is not a network or sim issue.
I wonder if there is any setting that needs to be rectified.
Any idea?
Thanks

what rom/kernal are you using?
You've already tried most of things that I'd normally suggest, so don't think that I can help very much.
Sounds like it could be APN issue (which I now little about), where do you live and what network are you on? As this will help others to possibly assist further.
Does your network provider have the function where they can send your phone network settings, if so possibly try this?

does 3 UK use 900 / 2100 band for 3g?
if it doesn't you may have to change to a different provider
Hey,
I have a HTC desire and it is in orange. I didn't buy it from the company itself but some other shop. So I now want to change from orange to another operator , but when insert a sum card of that operator I get half of the connectivity.. is it the radio which causes this or hardware? It is a sim free phone
Sent from my epic Desire S running the awesome CM9 using XDA premium.
what you meen half connectivity? i know that some operators use UMTS band and have weak connection on desire i just has same problem with one of israeli operator but this operator befor 3 years was cdma without sim card. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelephone
So its the operators problem?

May be you need to ask your provider if it an gsm one
Both of the operators are GSM. Any other ideas?
Also , I didn't buy the phone from the operator itself but some third party shop and when I bought it they asked me what operator I wanted , orange or Pelephone and I said orange.. judging by this I think it is possible to somehow "repair" the connectivity?
Hi there. For several days I have HTC Sensation and I have a little problem with it. I bought a package of internet in one of the Polish phone networks (Play), but the phone connects to the Internet only through the EDGE. All options are set correctly (for example I turned off "use 2g only to save battery") so I do not know why this is happening. I replaced the SIM card with a new one, however, and nothing changed. I tried to set 'WCDMA only', but then phone totally didn't connect to the phone network. I'm using AOKP ROM, but I tried the Vipers and CM9 - no change. I'm definitely 3G coverage as friends on their smartphones without problems in operation of the Internet. What else can I do to turn on the 3G? Thank you in advance for your help and best regards.

I tried to insert SIM card of other GSM network - problem didn't solve. I changed kernel to Sultan and GetRIL is showing that RIL/baseband is matching, so I did all from your guide. Anyway, I see that your guide is for people who having problems with WiFi, but for me WiFi is working excellent and signal is strong too. I just can't connect with 3G, only EDGE/2G is working. Does anybody know how to fix this? Maybe should I take back S-ON and original ICS and send phone to HTC Service? I've got the warranty to the end of this year.
Well actually it's the same for wifi and 3G... I don't know normally this fix it!

So if WiFi is working, 3G should be working too? I'm really resigned, I'm trying other ROMS, kernels, radios from Monday... but I don't if there is any sense to send phone to the service and wait 2 weeks to get know from them that they can't do anything with this error...
