Just bought an htc sensation, "guy" says its unlocked so it will work on bell. I get bell sim card activated and it won't work! I think this phone is from overseas. it's model is z710e. network mode says gsm/wcdma auto. will this work on bell network?
any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
All you have to do is S-OFF and then Unlock it yourself (Instructions are found in the Development section)
You need the Z710a for Bell.
I hate to say it, but you infact did get "scammed." You bought the European Sensation, which will only work on Edge in Canada.
You have to add the BELL APN settings in the Settings in order to get that working as well
1.Press Menu then Settings from the idle mode.
2. Select Wireless controls.
3.Select Mobile network settings.
4.Select Access Point Names.
5.Press Menu to add a New APN setting.
6.Fill in the following settings: Name: Bell
APN: pda.bell.ca
Proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca
Port: 80
Username: <Not set>
Password: <Not set>
Server: <Not set>
MMSC: http://mms.bell.ca/mms/wapenc
MMS proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca
MMS port: 80
MMS protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC : 302
MNC : 610
APN type : <Not set>
7.Press Menu and Save.
8.Click Bell to assign the new APN.

Because Wind, Mobilicity and Videotron don't use AWS, am I right?
Didn't know the z710e also did AWS, my bad

any cdma rom is there which works good for unlocked phone? i use tmobile and i wanted somethign that is more for tmobile
if your phone is from tmobile you should load a rom from the gsm section, not a cdma rom.
i have a sprint tp2 but i use tmobile on it
If you put anything but a cdma rom, then you will brick your phone. You can use custom cdma roms using a t-mobile sim card, but dont use a gsm (t-mobile) rom on the sprint tp2 because you will turn it into a 700 dollar paper weight.

I KNOW THAT....i want a cdma rom that is more useable for gsm networks
ok. i thought by your question that you had a gsm phone. why do you consider the roms available as unuseable for gsm.

Your awesome friend thanx for giving the link
I've been lurking around the forums for weeks now, and much as I hate to be the new n00b on the block, I'm seriously at my wits end with this phone.
I have root access, the stock Froyo ROM, busy box, and I went through the same hell most of us with the SGS4G seemed to go through to get it unlocked (at which point I caved and called T-Mobil) and now that it's finally unlocked, it won't recognize the SIM card (China Telecom) it says 'no service' and claims that my phone number is unknown. I have a good signal though... OTL
I've used the SIM card in the (Android) phone it came with (a Chinese model, of course; it was hell to navigate.) So I know the card is fine.
I wanted to actually be able to use this phone as a phone before messing around with it, so if anyone has some ideas for me, I'd be much obliged. And while I'm on my knees I'll ask, do any of you know of a decent (free) VPN I can use to get over the Great Firewall of China? (youtube and fb aside, it'd be nice to get some real news without having Big Brother watching (and blocking) my every move)
TL;DR:
rooted SGS4G on stock Froyo ROM.
SIM unlocked but not acknowledged; can't send messages or make calls.
Not a SIM or signal problem.

Is there is APN setting you need to enter manually for that SIM?

Ah, it's an APN problem.
Looks like China Telecom uses the CDMA/EvDo rev, and whereas the SGS4G is made specifically for T-Mobile, which uses GSM/WCDMA. It's not acknowledging the China Telecom network, and won't even let me save the APN settings when enter them manually.
It looks like the difference is in the MNC value. I don't know much about it, but it only accepts '99' (for CDMA it's '03')
Well then... is it possible to even get my phone to use the China Telecom network?
APN settings for China Telecom
Most APN lists don't have China Telecom included (why? because it's CDMA? or is there some other conspiracy?), so I'm posting the settings for whoever need them, though I don't think this is the right place
Note: Under "Network Settings/Mode" you want "CDMA/EvDo" or "CDMA only" selected. if you don't have this option, sucks for you... and me D: (unless you know a fix???)

I unlocked successfully using HTCDev. However, now im unable to connect to Rogers. Under Access Point Names, "Rogers LTE" is selected. I can search for Network Operators and find Rogers, but cant connect. WiFi works fine. All the APN settings seem fin:

Any ideas?
shouldnt there be a username and password?
Don't think so...ive confirmed the APN settings with other sources.
Try doing a factory reset first. If that foesnt fix it, it may be the sim. Do you have another phone you could try the sim card in?
Tell rogers your microsim stopped working and theyl probably replace it pro bono

Turns out the problem was a coincidence...Rogers was upgrading to LTE in my area and the service was temporarily down. All is good.
I live in Canada and I bought a Sidekick 4g.
I rooted the phone, did the "bml3.bak" unlock method, got the code and re-booted the phone with my bell sim inside but the unlock screen didn't pop up. So then I did the "efs>root>afs>settings>nv_data.bin" but still nothing. I figured if I just delete the nv_data.bin file that it'll come back when I reboot.
So I deleted it, rebooted with bell sim in phone and boom sim unlock screen pops up. I typed in my unlock code and it worked. However when I search for a network and choose bell I get this message "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network" The phone always shows about 3 bars of service, but it doesnt work. At this point, I don't know what else to do.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Bell is a different type of network. I don't believe it will work with the Sidekick.
You likely have to manually set the APNs for Bell in the general settings. I had to do this for WIND.
Press Menu then Settings from the idle mode.
Select Wireless controls.
Select Mobile network settings.
Select Access Point Names.
Press Menu to add a New APN setting.
Fill in the following settings:
Name: Bell
APN: pda.bell.ca
Proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca
Port: 80
Username: <Not set>
Password: <Not set>
Server: <Not set>
MMSC: http://mms.bell.ca/mms/wapenc
MMS proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca
MMS port: 80
MMS protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC : 302
MNC : 610
APN type : <Not set>
Press Menu and Save.
Click Bell to assign the new APN.
Please note that you will have to re-enter the above settings anytime you insert a different SIM card or if you reset to default settings.
Bell is a CDMA network. I don't believe any amount of APN settings will get a non-CDMA phone to connect.
Is it possible to use any APNs for ATT&s data, like LTE or, HSPA+, or any other 3g/2g that would work? I am unlocked my sidekick recently and am only able to send/receive text and make/receive calls but can't find any working APNs.
:good: Thanks in advance.
Or point me to a thread for all of AT&Ts APNS for a thanks

AT&T uses a different kind of network for mobile data, I don't believe it's compatible. Compatible north american networks would be T-Mobile, Wind and Mobilicity.
