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

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?
Moving to pelepone as well.

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?

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

Sounds like you got rickrolled into purchasing a phone. Lawl.
No 3G. Baseband chip only supports 3G on 1700 and 2100. AT&T uses 850 and 1900 so it will never get 3G on AT&T unless the TMO merger goes through (highly unlikely) and they keep the TMO frequencies (again highly unlikely).

The only phones that support AT&T and T-Mobile bands is high end NOKIA devices
N8, E7, E6
Its Symbian and sad to say, it's not in the same league as Android.
And trust me, I'm even looking for AT&T phones only to have options for any type of GSM carrier. Mostly because of pre-paid devices use AT&T or T-mobile bands
Its not a total loss. You could get Simple Mobile No contract plans. You'll get 4G. Its not AT&T but its only way you'll get high speed on the G2X.
And if you are on AT&T contract, you did get suckered into buying a phone. Live and learn I say.
You could always sell it to somebody else.

Yeah it's a bit much, but they're still begging for help when they've already been answered with the only answer possible:
You cannot use 3G on the T-Mobile G2x on AT&T. No software could possibly solve this. It is a physical limitation in the hardware modem. It might be somehow possible to rip the current modem out and solder a new one in and redo the base hardware drivers etc etc but that would be far more trouble than it is worth.
So, you can't use 3G on the T-Mobile G2x on AT&T. Period. Fin. End of story. Close thread please..
Could someone help with my phone problem? I have wifi data connection but no 3g connection. I'm with a provider like t mobile ... videotron... same bandwidth ... but I never see any 3g icons or something else... how to configure that?

Go into your settings, wireless & networks, mobile networks, access point names and set up a new apn for Videotron. Don't as her for the information to enter. Google for it. You should set up one for internet and one for mms.
I was going to ask in the other sections but i've seen that quite a few people here are on orange uk so thought i'd give it a shot here. Recently my signal has just been going on and off. Some places, the phone just refuses to receive any signal even though i know i get signal in this area. I was thinking about changing the radio but wanted to know if it was only me experiencing the problem. I upgraded to the latest radio long before i had this problem.
Have you set things up with orange so you can use the t mobile cell towers? Since they joined to become 'everything everywhere' or whatever it's called you can use both towers. give orange a call to set it up if it isn't already.
I didn't notice any difference changing radios with network signals.
Mines gone worse since then. Its always connected to orange T-Mobile
I know there's no T-Mobile signal in my house and if I'm on orange (no T-Mobile) it seems to get full signal

I've had no end of signal problems since the merger with t mobile. 3g was a waste of time for most of last year. It did get better from about November though. Perhaps they are doing in your area what they were in mine?
I did also once have a Sim card failure which gave the symptoms you describe. Try giving them a ring and request a new one.

Thanks. Well right now I'm on reaper and it doesn't connect to orange t-mobile which is good. But if it does continue I guess I'll have to phone them
EDIT:Signal just dropped to zero even though I'm standing in the same place

Sounds like a borked sim. I only found out when i arranged for my phone to go back to HTC for repair, bought a cheap phone to keep me going, put the Sim in the phone......no signal.
Try another phone to confirm it.

This only works if you are on ATT if you are on another carrier all you will get is Edge.

You have to get a device that uses the same bands. Devices in the US use different bands depending on the carrier. You won't be able to do anything about it on the inspire

Do you realize there is a huge difference between CDMA and GSM right. In the us they all use different 3g bands.
You should always research your device before you by it. Mainly if buying a device from another county

The best thing to do is find out what bands your carrier uses. Then compare it to the ones for a phone you like. If att doesn't work then T-Mobile maybe a better option as they use the Euro bands where ATT doesnt

Your best bet is to use probably a t-mobile phone from US or phones from SE asia and europe for indian subcontinent countries. AT&T based 3G phones will probably wont work there...but again like zelendel said, check it out with your service provider first...

welcome man. If there is anything you need feel free to hit me up. I am no dev but if you click on the gotham link you will see I am still up to my old tricks lmao
It's probably a silly question but I don't know how to check. I bought an HTC One X off ebay, it' s brand new and unlocked (but I can tell it used to be on orange.). I'm currently on O2 but thinking about switching so I can get 4G but I won't bother if my phone can't get it. So how do I know if it can use the 4G network?
Thanks in advance.
Assume you are talking LTE (although the official definition of "4G" was revised to include evolved forms of HSPA).
For LTE compatibility, you have to find the specs for the exact model of One X you have (which may get confusing) and find out what band/frequency of LTE the phone is compatible with. Don't confuse this with the GSM or HSPA bands, you've got to look for the LTE band.
Then you need to find the LTE band/frequency used by your carrier. If the LTE frequencies are the same (phone is compatible with your carrier's LTE network) and the phone is unlocked, it should work.
Keep in mind that frequency/band support is most usually set in hardware. So the phone has to be equipped (in hardware) with the correct band. No amount of radio flashing will change the LTE band.
Thanks for your help. So how do I find out the exact model of my phone?

And therein lies the challenge. Matching your phone to a model number or accurate specs is not an easy thing. Telling us what carrier version or country would be a good start.
Also, be sure to hit the "thanks" button for any of my posts that you find helpful.
Thanks! I'm on O2 pay as you go but I bought the phone unlocked from eBay, it was previously on the orange network. I'm in the UK and I'm pretty sure the phone is a UK model.
I can't find the thanks button on this app but ill be sure to press it when I check in on my laptop
