Hi, the problem that exists with my htc sensation is that whenever i turn 3g (set it to gsm / wcdma auto) i get no signal. It says i have no internet connection either but for some reason i can still browse perfectly at high speed meaning i do have full hsdpa. I cant make calls or texts though. As soon as i set it to gsm only, it works fine, but ive got slow internet which i dont want. I am rooted, ive got the coredroid 2.4 rom, ive tried various roms, kernels and radios but none seem to work. I thought it was my sim, so i ordered a new one and its exactly the same, im on virgin mobile uk. Ive tried a 3 sim card in the phone and it seems to work, and ive tried my virgin sim card in other phones and that seems to work too. It just seems to be a virgin sim card in my phone. It used to work fine, then about 3 weeks ago it just started with this problem. Ive searched for an answer but couldnt find anything, has anyone got any ideas please? Also as im rooted, does that mean my warranty is void and i would get charged if i sent it for repair?
Try calling them to ask about that issue
They will probably re-add you to the network and that might fix it

I've recently got a new 3G iphone. It came with a new SIM card that is suppose to be optimized for iphone. When I put this sim card into my Touch Cruise, I am unable to get 3G. There is signal bars but I cannot make or receive phone calls. The only way to make or receive phone calls is by disabling the 3G. The same applies for Data. I thought maybe the radio ROM was not working so I changed it to the Murata ROM but I am still having problems. I am on the Rogers network in Canada. Has anybody else having similar problems? Any help would be appreciated as I still find my Touch Cruise more useful than the 3G iphone.
Most probably is ur phone broken. U will have to send it to the service. Maaaaany users had/have/will have problems with calls, connections, signal strenght,bluetooth, camera, broken wheel etc. I had... Touch cruise is crapy.
If you know someone with a non-iPhone 3G sim, try theirs in your Cruise and see what happens

Actually, I did this today. Same thing happen. I would get a 3G signal but when I tried to make a call, I get no signal. But when I disable the 3G, edge works fine with voice and data.
Hi, I sufered the same problem until yesterday. I had the same problems. Yesterday I switched off the HSDPA switch in the software, after a soft reset the TC came back online. Probably worth trying?

I've tried both Murata radio roms. Both gives very good 3G signal but when I try to make a call or use data, I get no connection. I've tried the original radio ROM and some of the Kaiser ported radio Roms. They all give me no connection with 3G. In every case, when I disable the 3G, I can make calls and get data although it is only through edge and GPRS. I looked at my box for the TC and it is revision A. Do I need to send my TC for repair? I even went as far as calling my cell phone provider(Rogers) and they couldn't help me. The phone is functional but without 3G I am not getting very fast data speeds.
The problem started with my TC started after upgrading to Udk R6 and R7, after upgrading to R8 and a new radio version

Will give you an updated radio version what will have a good match with the Udk diamond R8 Rom.

just a question, I'm on ATT, and the sim card I use on my polaris came off the iPhone3G, and I get the H (the high speed thing) sign on the phone during data sessions. on some areas I'm only able to get E and sometimes even the G sign came on and off. so I guess, maybe wherever you are, the 3G signal isn't strong enough, so you can only get edge.
and as of the other person noted, polaris is kind of at the edge of getting broken, fast. I only uses mine exclusively for web browsing for a week when the phone goes crazy. sent it to repair and everything seems to be in "sane" mode now let's hope that my phone didn't try to go insane again

Guys, maybe a silly comment but did you check the following settings : phone/menu/options/band and check select network type to auto?
I have had problems before with 3G & HSDPA. Somtimes when your registered on HSDPA and you travell away from that mast/area into an area that only has 3G or even only Edge, then device does not re-register onto the other band and you will not be bale to make calls and will miss calls. This happened for days one time and i very nearly hard reset my device in frustration, i eventually found out it was a network problem.
Another work around is going to phone/menu/networks and manually select networks and hopefully it should bring up your 3G network.
Phone operators do not like telling you that their 3G or HSPDA networks do not have good coverage or intermittent quality of signal. My 3G network only has 70% coverage & 30 % of that is HSDPA, so i sometimes end up on EDGE and hence miss calls.
Try playing around with the setting above one at a time. When im stuck i manually set band to GSM (edge), then when travelling away reset back to auto. Most of the time however it is fine.
Hi, I'm from Argentina. I had the same problem with 3G after a trip to other country. Now my TC only works well in GSM Band. Unfortunatelly we don't have service support here so if anyone knows how to fix this will be highly appreciated.
I have the same problem in my Polaris. I tried almost every radio i could find, i tried with different sim cards, i tried with official wm6 and wm6.1 roms with no result. When 3G is enabled i can not make or receive calls. I think that the problem started when i first upgraded from WM6 to WM6.1. Now i keep band selection to GSM so at least i can use my polaris as a phone. There must be something that prevents gsm connection when 3G is active. I hope a registry tweak could be found for this. I' m just one step from sending my device to be serviced.
I have the same trouble with my virgin uk sim card and t-mobile which share the same network(need to turn off 3g),but no trouble with my asda sim which uses the vodaphone network.So if you try different sim cards make sure they dont share networks.Another thing i've noticed with my virgin sim is all my preferred networks are unchecked but my phone will still connect if my 3g is turned off?
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?
A friend of mine has having trouble connecting to 3g at all for the last week or so. She's running CM 4.2.15.1, hasn't had any network issues prior to this. Tmo hasn't been a whole lot of help, and I figured once they realize its rooted, they'll probably even less so.
So, what is the current radio version? Later than 2.22.19.26I? Where could I find it?
I'm running 2.22 on my MyTouch 3G Limited Edition. I used to have a Mytouch 3G 1.0... I actually don't have it any more because I bricked it by doing what you're asking to do. I also tried to find the radio for the same reason, except it turned out it was t-mobile's fault not my phone (as I experienced the same problems on my fender, til they caught it).
I am also having this issue! It started a few days ago for me. I cannot hold a 3G connection, but 2G and G seem to work. I've since tried numerous ROMs, wipes, and formats including my SD card yet nothing seems to help.
Any thoughts?
I've had this problem before. For me, it's been accompanied by erratic behavior of SMSing, too. Once it was even an outright inability to connect to the cell network at all.
If that's the case and you call up T-Mo and complain, often they'll give you a credit for a new SIM card, and you can pick it up at a store.
Interesting... So you believe it to be the SIM card and not anything firmware/software/network related? Any idea what could have caused something like this?
Hello everyone ....
noob here so bear with me if I what I am asking has been discussed already... ran a search but did not find anything directly related so here goes...
I just got an HTC sensation from the UK (live in Malta).. My carrier uses only the HSDPA 2100 frequency as it uses only 3g... now the sensation does not want to connect to this carrier.... new sim, reset, etc,... but to no avail.
It works fine on the other carriers (they use other frequences in addition the one mentioned before)
I keep getting a message ""Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network'"
any idea why this is happening...
The set is going to the carrier tomorrow so its techs can have a look at it... and maybe fiddle with the settings a bit...
I have done all the usual things in the phone (GSM etc set to auto etc etc) but it never connects.... not even as a normal phone without data...
any ideas what could be the cause? hardward fault? though it works in the other two operators we have here..
I was actually thinking of a reflash or a custom rom if all fails....
it has my carrier a bit confused in fact..
spoke to HTC Uk and they told me to speak to the carrier
Phone has Vodafone branding on startup... but is unlocked as I tried with vodafone malta and another operator.... and both work... but not on 3g... did not try that..
could it be that 3g is locked and 2g is not? But i understand that an unlocked set is unlocked in its entirety...
My desire works fine with this carrier....
thanks
just a quick update...
partly solved through the testing menu and fettling with Cipher and radio toggle... I do have network and data access...
however, something funny cropped up... as soon as i activate GPS through a programme it cuts off GPRS and when i switch off GPS it does not come back on...
it requires a restart for it to come back on... or sometimes by toggling on and off aeroplane mode..
any idea before i flash the whole thing... or flush it down the loo.....
also got the locking ring touchscreen problem today....
not happy with my sensation at all today....
thanks...
I am having an identical problem with my sensation. Did you ever solve this?
I have an unlocked ChaCha that i am using to replace one of my HD2's (one running WM7 dual booted with Android 2.3.3, and one im replacing is strictly Android 2.2)
Anyway i have this ChaCha unlocked and popped my sim card in and everythign works fine except even after putting the different APN's out there for Tmobile US, im still only connecting to Edge (at least thats waht it says in the data connection area in the status bar)
i tried doing a Mobile Connection Test and i got results in the 3g range..so im confused.
Then i did a test on my HD2 WM7 and got results in the 4g range. Is my ChaCha running HSPL / 3G and just says "E" for edge or do i need to modify / edit something else?
Any help would be appreciated. If i confused anyone please let me know and i can clarify because i really need to figure out whats going on
actually i dont think at all its running at 3g speeds because downloading skype from android market just took a couple minutes, where as my HD2 does it within seconds
I only typed in wap.voicestream.com.
You will only get EDGE if you use your t-mobile sim. The radio frequencies are not the same.
