[Q] Can't connect to 3G/H

Hi guys,
I've got my phone back after repair (they did a boardswap because of broken emmc chip.). Everything seemed fine, but it couldn't connect to mobile internet. I saw that there weren't any APN settings so I called Vodafone and they gave me the right settings. After configured everything correctly it could connect, but it only could connect sometimes and if it did it was only G or E connection.
I'm currently running MIUI rom and with it you can easily configure it that it only uses 2G network. While using this internet ALWAYS works. When using 3G preferred, internet barely works.
So is there an option I am not seeing or did they give me a broken motherboard (and is there way to check this)?
Help would be greatly appreciated!

Sounds like its only configured to use 2G, so on a Stock (sense) ROM like mine you would need to set the
Settings->Wireless & network->Mobile networks->Network Mode = GSM/WCDMA auto
Otherwise you could try the debug mode by typing this into your PHONE *#*#4636#*#* the full number which should take the phone into debug mode where you find similar settings

Thanks for your reply! I'm using the settings you recommended and have set my *#*#4636#*#* to wcmda preferred but stil no succes. internet only works with GSM only but only 2g...

Are you sure that your network are not having a problem with 3g themselves?
can you use another phone, same network to prove that the 3g network in your area is working correctly?
Otherwise sounds like an APN issue? could you take it into a vodafone shop?
Have you tried a Hard reset and clean new setup?

I have perfect connectivity using the same SIM on my xperia x1. Hard resetting doesn't seem to do the trick. I think i'll take it to the vodafone shop (don't hope i need to send it in for repair AGAIN)
Thanks for your help anyway!

It may have come back with old stock/unsuitable radio. Tried changing that?

The radio was the correct one, BUT it seemed to have fixed the problem itself... I was in the Vodafone shop and I was explaining the problem and there it was doing it correctly... Quite emberassing but i'm glad i've got a fully working phone.

[Q] Wifi without simcard

I would like to know if there is any way I can have my WiFi internet on my MT4GS,without my Sim card in the phone .Probably just surfing the net or using "whats app". I have tried and my cell doesn't connect to the WiFi router at all.Can someone advise on settling this matter ? My phone is unlocked and rooted.I haven't taken the update,so I'm still on the stock ROM.
I used my old windows touch pro 1 cell and it connects to the WiFi router without Sim card.So what can I do to get the WiFi internet on my MT4GS?

You should just have it.
I have two of these devices - one on T-Mobile, the other bought aftermarket out of plan. No sim card, yet I connect to wifi everywhere, even use it as a wifi bridge to my router for a desktop in my home.
Just go into settings, wireless settings, then turn on wifi and tap 'wifi settings' underneath it. You should see your network in the list, just tap it and enter a password if necessary.
Done.
This doesn't work for you?
Sim card has nothing to do with wifi, only cellular.

Maybe the fact that your phone is rooted. But I don't know my rooted cliq is rooted an connects to WiFi fine...

Could be, my buddy has a stock mytouch and he can't get on wifi without a sim either..

I don't think so - I just got it back from HTC and it's not rooted yet, still stock the same way I shipped it out to them. Gets on wifi fine with no sim card.
It does have an S-OFF bootloader, but I don't see how that would matter.
I do find this curious.
What exactly happens when you try to connect to a wifi network?
Does it even see the wifi networks?
Where does the ability to connect fail?

You should be able to connect. It'll have that option at the HTC setup wizard.

Says scanning ,then tries to acquire ip address then it disconnects and starts all over with the same result.Secondly I remembered the last two programs that were causing me problems in installing and uninstalling were Bloater and Busybox ,before my WiFi went haywire.I gave up trying and hence I was preparing to send my cell back to HTC, since it was still within the warranty period.I unrootted my cell and now my WiFi works again.So i really can't say exactly what caused this malfunction as yet .Thank you guys,for such quick responses.This really makes me feel proud to be part of an outstanding group of people here,and as whole, part of xda-developers.I thank you all for your help an assistance.Hopefully this information might help someone else someday.

Maybe it's your router

No my girlfriend,has the same phone with me and it connected .Had tried another router and it still didn't connect.

I do it all th time with several brands of phones. I have had problems the constanly connecting and reconnecting when there are too many devices around at the same time.
Sometimes it is the router and internet going through "spells".

Yes, "innerwebs" with wifi works without a sim card.
My g2 AND my other 4g slide both connect to my router without a sim in them.
But they are rooted with different roms so......

[Q] HTC Inspire 4g with 2.3.3 WIFI Hotspot not working

Mind you even when you get it working, it will only be an edge connection using that phone in india. There are several apps on the marketplace that can enable tethering; pdanet, easy tether etc etc. Would be your first line to try out, beyond that I would just root and put a custom rom on there that does not have the ATT limitations on the phone, as you are not using att out there. but like i said, best case scenario is going to be a slow connection

Try using wifi hotspot apps. But depending on your carrier you might get a slow connection. Rooting is a great recommendation. I rooted mine and works better than ever

[Need Help] Not able to share 3G Data via "Mobile Network Sharing"

Hello Members,
I have opted for BSNL (India) 3G service recently and its working okay on HTC One E8 but after turning "Mobile Network Sharing" on, data connection is turned off. I have tried sharing via Wifi Hotspot, USB Tethering but am still unsuccessful in sharing mobile`s data connection with laptop. Any solution for this issue.
Advance thanks!!

You should be able to share normally via Hotspot, if that doesn't work, then maybe BSNL 3G doesn't have the hotspot sharing facility. Try contacting BSNL for support, and find out from them.

Sadly there is no support from BSNL. They don't give support for hotspot sharing. I will try putting other network provider SIM and will share the status.

I'm pretty sure others should work, as Airtel, Vodafone and Docomo works fine for me.

After more experiments i got to know none of the "Data Services" even Edge doesn`t works after activating "Mobile Network Sharing" mode. What can be wrong? Hardware or Software?

I guess you're activating the Portable Wifi hotspot option there, right? Well in that case, it does work. Edge and 3g both work, just create a hotspot as it's supposed to.
So you might try resetting your device. Or elaborate a bit more.
Otherwise I'm afraid it might be a hardware issue. It's not a software issue as they are not on singular devices, and on mine it works flawlessly.

Silver.Shadow Thanks for participating in my issue. I believe its some software issue thus i am hoping this problem to be resolved in LOLLIPOP version. Fingers crossed :fingers-crossed:
