can`t get 3G/HSDPA on Sensation

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.

Sprint Nexus S 4g on Boost Mobile - Questions

I flashed my NS4G to Boost... it was a long and agonizing road, but I think i finally got it working correctly.
my phone is currently 100% stock with gingerbread 2.3.7
since this was such a stressful flash, i'm kind of worried about "not fixing what's not broken"...
however, i'd love to re-root it and flash a custom ROM. Will doing this mess up any of the modifications i had to do to get calls, text, and data to work?
(they were all done in QPST)
I'm not going to do it until i have confirmation... so let me know and ease my mind!
thanks
-Randy

i also have a nexus 4g on boost. i've just about had every kernal and rom on this board for it (both gingerbread and ICS)
i hope that helps.

so a standard rom flash will retain all boost settings?

yes.
keep in mind mms fix only works on gingerbread as far as i know.
the APN can't be changed on ICS roms.

If you use voice dialer and say "open APNs", it will let you edit the apn. Does this not work to get mms working?

what you are talking about can not be talked about as it is illegal to change the esn and meid all all other device identifiers that are registered to the fcc. Each phone has a unique id to it that is represented to the fcc. I have also been talking with Boost employess and area managers and boost is getting ready to kick off the users who have "flashed" phones on Boost that do not belong on boost. This is going to be done as Boost can still tell what type of phone you have other then the esn / meid as the device still sends out certain other device ids to the network when you use certain programs. Also by trying to send updates to your phone sprint can request the system information from your phone that can tell them the actual make and model and firmware and all that you are running. And you thought carrier iq was bad...
if you wait a few months or so the evo 3d will be on sprints virgin mobile with ics included and sense 3.6...
Boost mobile will be getting the HTC Evo design 4g soon as well...
i myself dont understand why boost is going 4g when sprint is going lte... but another stupid move by sprint.

does anyone have a link to a how to flash my nexus s 4g to boost? I'd really like to do this. cant afford sprint anymore...

Mobile network doesn't work anymore...

Hey Sensation community !
Since 2 days my mobile network stopped working, I tried ALOT of "solutions" which I found here but all of them didn't help at all...I even flashed a new rom + fireware, radio, etc...
I used the search function before I started this thread but I only found little threads with like 3-5 replys and they weren't even usefull - even outdated.
So to be more detailed, my mobile network icon pops up nomally after turning it ON but only the upload arrow is filled which means if I open the browser or any app it won't work cause there's actually no connection to the internet.
I checked my APN which is fine. Most of the people say : Fix your APN and it should be fine. - Great -_-
Phone informations:
HTC Sensation
ROM: Android Revolution HD 6.7.2 by mike1986
Adroid 4.0.3
HTC Sense 3.6
I'd appreciate it if somebody could help me fixing this annyoing issue.
If you need some more details about the phone let me know
~Tim

Nope, as I said, I even wiped my phone new rom, new firmware, new radio and new kernel.

I'm having the same issue, flashed cm9 last night, everything was fine and working then this afternoon at about 2 my phone says no service. I put the sum card in a different phone and it still didn't work. I'm T-Mobile UK but phone is normally connected to T-Mobile/orange network

Check your settings under Network/Connection settings and see if it's set to the correct network mode.

They all fine.
One more thing to say.
If I'm using "GSM only" the internet works but it's hekka slow -_- As soon as I switch to GSM / WCDMA auto "H" shows up only with the upload arrow on and the internet stops working.

Guess nobody knows how to fix this crap.... :/

I tried putting the sim in a different phone and it still didn't work. Might be a sim card issue or Tmobile are having trouble, for me anyway

Did you call your phone company?
I spent 4 days trying to diagnose this same kind of issue once only to find out that my data plan had been accidentally deleted from my account.
2 minute phone call and everything was working again.

As I thought my problem was with my network provider. The phone seems to have reconnected to the network and I am receiving texts and calls again. Hope you get your issue sorted.

I can be pretty sure it's not the SIM cause I tested it on a UMTS/HSDPA Surf-stick and the internet works with it. It has to be the phone itself.

[Q] Unlocked At&t htc one mini used on tmobile cant send/receive pics

Help! I am using an unlocked at&t htc one mini with a tmobile mini SIM. I configured the apn settings but I still can't send or receive pictures. Can someone please help?!

Anyone help me with this?!?!

Make sure you got the most current apn. I know here in the U.K there are 3 different t-mobile APNs that I know of.
Also the AT&T software might cause problems. It did for me when I flashed a AT&T based rom with my tethering.
You might want to think about using another rom.

Thx for the reply. I am definately no expert, anything you can refer me to on going about using another Rom?

what are your APN settings? I've done this with an AT&T phone on T-Mobile in the U.S. and had no issues after setting the APN.

Same exact issue and I for one know I've never had any issue ever sending mms on att device on tmobile network ...
None of us are apn dummies lol...
THIS MINI ON 4.4.2 JUST DOES NOT SEND OR RECIEVE MMS

This has to be a issue known to some and I'd bet there's a Fix floating around .
