Hey everyone,
I got an AT&T Fuze (Touch Pro) and Im using it on Fido in Canada. My data is working perfectly fine, my only issue is that my phone keeps switching from 3G to H every once in a while, I was just wondering why and whats the reason for that?
Also, I have a little exclamation mark (in a yellow triangle) in the top right hand corner right beside the 3G/H/E Icon. I don't know why thats there?
Thanks to all for the help!
No, that's neither yours nor your phone issues. Once you' re in the better speed coverage, the phone will jump to H or your phone is accessing the internet.
"little exclamation mark" is a "roaming" indicator.
Heres the thing, it jumps back and forth while even accessing/using data.
Is there anyway to get rid of the exclamation mark?
have you flashed the rom?
I would be interested in how to get rid of the roaming icon too.
I have tried all the registry changes to no avail. The icon, and roaming warnings for things like the weather app, remain. It's about the last thing I need to fix but I seem to be stuck.
Im using RRE's ROM. So far it seems to have fixed itself, but now Im having more issues. I wonder if I should flash to a different ROM.
Hi guys,
I have a somewhat related problem and I hope someone can help me out. I just recently bought an unlocked HTC Touch Pro (not the Fuze version) and I am using it with my Fido sim card. Everything works and I was able to setup EDGE on it, but what bothers me is it keeps saying that I am roaming (for example when I access the Weather app). I am wondering if this is just some sort of a glitch due to the phone being unlocked or am I really roaming? I also get that roaming icon at the top. I am located in Vancouver so I am not out of town or anything. I just want to make sure so I don't end up having a crazy invoice by the end of the month. Thanks very much in advance.

It's because Fido uses Roger's towers now, but the companies are still identified separately and therefore it thinks you're roaming. As long as you have a data plan, you should be ok.
PS. Depending where in Vancouver you are, you should be getting at least 3G (3G), or hopefully HSDPA (H), vs Edge (E).

xda_fanboy, thank you very much for the helpful information. I can finally stop worrying. I do have a data plan with Fido so that should do. However, this is the second day of using the Touch Pro and the only data network I get is Edge. The only setup I did to my phone is what is listed in http://www.iday.ca/2008/11/how-to-setup-rogers-or-fido.html, under the Fido section. Would you mind taking a look and see if that is all that I need to do? I really appreciate all your help. Thanks again.

Please see my post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3192894&postcount=3 and see if it helps. I believe you also need to go into Settings>Connections>Advanced Network and enable HSDPA/HSUPA to get the full benefit.

I also have this phone and live in Vancouver on Fido. I don't think it will work on 3G, or so it seems. Mine is not the ATT version either, just the stock HTC. Currently it runs fine on the standard network, although as mentioned i have not been able to get rid of the roaming icon, but have never been charged extra. Its too bad we can't use it on 3G, and if any can find a way, that would be awesome, id love to be using the full potential of this phone.
I think we are stuck with no 3G, unless there are any suggestions?
If your not using the AT&T Fuze, then you won't have 3G in North America. Don't worry about the roaming icon. Since the phone (or is it the software?) has no idea that Fido uses Rogers' towers, it thinks your roaming. I have the roaming icon as well, had it on many non-branded Fido phones.
I turned off 3G because I hate seeing my icon go to 3G then H at random times besides when Im using actual data and it seems that with 3G, I get worse reception! Makes no sense I know, I've tried 3 different radio's and all have the same issue. Im thinking if an HTC Touch Diamond Rogers branded Radio will work, then that would probably work the best. Anybody know if/where I can get it?

If you bought a stock HTC Touch Pro (non-ATT, non-North American) then you won't have the NA 3G radio frequency and you're stuck with Edge.
Regarding a ROM, head over to the ROM sub-forum. There's a step-by-step guide on flashing your first ROM. As far as which ROM is best, it depends entirely on what you want from it, and even then varies by personal choice from person to person. There is no 1 "best" ROM. Check out all the ROM threads (there's a Roger's specific ROM available FYI) and pick one based on what you like.

I have a similar problem as Speng2, but I have the HTC Fuze which is the american ATT branded one. I unlocked it, flashed the NATF 4.7 rom and tried many diff radios and can never get more than EDGE. I used to have 3g when it was stock. I live in Los Angeles which is a 3g area. I get full edge signal but no 3g or HSPDA. I have a feeling it has to do with a setting. Pls help.

This thread was specifically for Fido, a Canadian carrier. I have no knowledge of the settings you will require for your carrier in LA, which is the most likely reason you are not getting 3G. I would try contacting them if you haven't already. Otherwise try and find a thread for your carrier, or perhaps check HF (not sure if we can post URL's to other sites). Good luck!
What if you dont have a data plan

What if you don't have a data plan? It seems that sypod has not been charged extra for Roaming... Does anyone know how Roaming works with FIDO? I just got the HTC FUZE and I don't want to have to pay outrageous Roaming charges. Any Ideas?
This thread is in semi-referance to the thread" AT&T has something in this phone" The conversation went towards saying carrierIQ was causing the problem, however after testing I can verify this isnt the issue.
Went down to the local AT&T store and spoke with the manager and showed them the problem of pulling up justin.tv on the phone. We also verified that it didnt work on their floor models of the Skyrocket and also the Vivid. He was clueless. We tried the website on the Galaxy S 2 sitting next to the skyrocket and it worked fine as well as the iPhone 4S, etc. He changed the IMEI number of the phone on my att account to the standard Galaxy s2 and gave me a new sim card then justin.tv pulled up just fine on my skyrocket. So....its verified that the problem IS with the LTE APN settings as well as the IMEI number that AT&T has on file for the phone.
I have also had problems with using the Redbox app to reserve DVD's for pickup not working over the AT&T LTE network. Also have problems with Facebook and Netflix not working over the LTE network, however this is more sporadic.
Does anyone else have any other websites that do NOT work over the LTE network besides Justin.tv?
I do not think this has anything to do with carrierIQ either. I have rooted the phone since then and installed a ROM that had carrierIQ removed. Still gettting the same issue.
AT&T has issued me a credit for $30 to compensate me for the unlimited internet package on my account and have escalated the claim to a supervisior.
The rep told me that they can only guarantee that any ATT phone will only pull up att.com and thats it. They do not guarantee any websites to work nor any apps.
Did you try changing the APN settings?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342159
hmmm, justin.tv works fine on mine.
I've never read that it was a CIQ issue. It's always been reported to be an issue with APN. PTA to be specific. You can manually create a HSPA and MMS APN and Justin.tv works just fine. The link above is a good source of info...
I also get a "web page not available" screen on Justin.tv when trying to access over LTE in Dallas.

Make sure you are using the stock browser over LTE network - its guaranteed not to work
just got my skyrocket in chicagoland, had my account provisioned by an at&t rep over live chat because it didnt work with data. I moved from iphone unlimited enterprise to smartphone data unlimited enterprise (same price); and the rep needed my IMEI and SIM card number; after a restart the data worked.
so far:
visiting justin.tv
via android browser -- bad request doesnt work.
via firefox mobile -- works.
via opera mobile -- works.
It looks like they are blocking certain stations on TuneIn Radio, I cannot stream 1310 The Ticket in Dallas unless on WiFi, but other stations work

If you change the APN settings to HSPA+ that defeats the entire purpose of having an LTE phone. At that point, you may as well go exchange the Skyrocket for the normal Galaxy S2. Correct me if I am wrong?
I was told by the manager of the AT&T store that changing the APN settings will eventually result in the phone not being able to connect to the network at all.....because you should be subscribed to an LTE data package on your AT&T account. They have different coding for LTE and HSPA, so if they dont match it results in your connection not working at all. (At least this is what I have been told)

I can also verify that Justin.tv works via Firefox mobile but not the stock browser with no APN or other settings changing within the phone. Odd...

That is true, but you're not connecting at all... that's why you can try to change it and see if it works. A lot of us are using this work around until something is done about it. Data problems everywhere- multiple forums and websites addressing this issue. In a perfect world, if we had a perfectly running LTE network, I'm sure none of us would want to use this work-around either. But we do what we gotta do...

Yea - understood. It's disappointing =/
Does your connection seem stable? Was told by AT&T that changing the APN settings would result in the phone not working at all because the line isn't provisioned for the HSPA network. However, I'm learning to take everything AT&T says with a grain of salt. Every rep you talk to will tell you something completely different.
Does visual voicemail work with HSPA APN?

All LTE devices are provisioned to fall back to HSPA+ and other legacy networks and changing the APN to "phone" would just limit your device from accessing LTE network and keep it on HSPA+ or older.
AT&T rep has no idea how these things work. next time try to talk to level 3 tech or someone actually knowledgable.
Tried the phone setting per your suggestion, thanks. Internet worked but no mms.
This situation with these phones and the LTE network is like buying a fast sports car that won't shift out of 2nd gear. LOL. What's the point of having it? If it cannot connect to LTE and work as advertised I'll prob just return it.....

I was wondering this too! I had problems getting The Ticket on Thursday over LTE, but I thought I remembered having the same problem on my home wifi. Maybe I didn't have the wifi turned on.
Testing right now, I'm still not getting The Ticket over LTE, it worked fine on my wifi this morning.
EDIT: I'm trying other radio stations in TuneIn Radio Pro and some work while others don't. I don't see any pattern yet, other than Cumulus stations not working (the power of Cumulus). I wonder if that has anything to do with it? I know that The Ticket is listed in my Android app and iPad App, but not on Google TV or Roku, so it leads me to believe they have some kind of channel provisions in their contract.

I've listened to The Ticket on TuneIn since at least April 2010 when I got my Nexus One. I can't remember if I used TuneIn on my iPhone before that or another app. It's always been on AT&T 3G in Dallas.
It's not an overall AT&T issue, more specifically it's an AT&T LTE issue. It seems that it's directly related to the filtering of traffic that others are posting about in this thread.
justin.tv works for me on the stock browser but only if I'm connected to my local wifi network. If I try 4g, or 3g on stock it kicks back a bad request.

Hello all,
As the title states, I'm taking a two week trip to Scotland in August. I require "local" voice/text and internet (unlimited?) would be a HUGE plus (especially for gps use).
T-mobile seems to have a $42-something plan which includes all the above, but I would be upset if my phone didn't work well with it for some reason when we landed. I'm currently on AT&T running Cyanogenmod 3.0.66? and Slimbean 4.2 and very willing to reflash to more appropriate roms.
My questions are:
1. Is it reasonable for me to bring my S2 and use a prepaid SIM, taking the risk something may not work? If so, what kernal/rom is best for Europe (say T-Mobile, etc) ?
2. Does anyone have a better option? This is my first time abroad and I'm open to advice.
I haven't been on xda for a while, so I apologize if this information is generally available. I did attempt to search but couldn't find what I was looking for.
Please help this old man!
Side question: Anyone have a good experience to report with an offline gps app?
Use a rom which supports GSM so go into settings mobile network and then network settings and see if you have WCDMA / GSM. That means it will work here. Also the best and cheapest sim card to get here is a Giffgaff one.
Also, regarding Gps, it's Scotland... You won't get lost.
Giffgaff give for £10 unlimited texts, 250 or 500min call and 1gb data... So just use data with Gps.
There is a cut down version of that for £5 but I'd rather have more Internet to use maps.
You can convert the £££ into $$$

If T-Mobile in Scotland uses the same frequencies as here in the USA, it would be reasonable to use the stock tmobile UVMC6 plus skyrocket JB kernel plus either UCMC1 radio OR UVMB1(blaze 4G radio)
Here's the rom,I used it on my rocket for sometime
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2344942
But you have to flash a skyrocket kernel to correct screen rotation..Mohan has one in the dev section
Search for UVMB1 radio for data on AWS at HSPA...I don't think the Scottish have LTE on T-Mobile yet or even UCMC1 would work on their data if the use 1700/2100 AWS on LTE...
Have a nice trip...Scotland is a beautiful country...

I agree, however will this work on my current AT&T provider until I land in Scotland? This is my primary cellphone.
The rom, yes...
The radio, if you use LTE here, it will not work on UVMB1, but HSPA is ok
My plan would be
1.Flash the T-Mobile rom now
2.Flash the skyrocket kernel now
3.Leave your radio alone..
4.Have few T-Mobile radios like UVMB1 on your sd, flash it on board at the airplane do it would be ready there...
Of course that's if you choose to go with tmobile path...

Thank you for your quick reply. I briefly looked into Giffgaff, and it seems like they charge for anything not between other Giffgaff users. This would make calling hotels, etc still costly. Plus, it looks like I need a UK postcode to receive a SIM card.
Also, we plan on doing some driving all throughout Scotland and the GPS option would greatly decrease any stress related to traveling, but thank you for your reassurance! :fingers-crossed:

Use the £5 or £10 goody bag. You can call anything in UK. Landlines, Mobiles and all. They don't care.
You can get the sims at shops too. Just the websites says post code.
250 or 500min is to landlines and whatever. The Giffgaff to Giffgaff ones are free.

It is good to research on network options while you're here...But probably you'll find a cell phones shop in the airport and buy a SIM from there..
Go to Wikipedia and read about their network bands, if they are compatible with AT&T specifications, you might need nothing done and your phone would work right away as soon as you put the new SIM and setup the correct apn...Of course that's if your phone is already unlocked..
By the way sir, this is the general section, all questions should be in Q/A forum...
Hey guys,
I'm hoping someone can help me because 3 hours later, 2 Google Play representatives and 3 online chat customer service O2 workers couldn't help me out.
I have a Nexus 5 and I'm on O2 here in Berlin, Germany. My Network Mode is switched to "4G" and my APN (as per another post) is correct. The plan is an activated LTE and the coverage in my neighbourhood is perfect according to the guy at O2.
I still don't seem to be getting LTE on my phone. Neither the LTE logo above the signal bars, nor the speeds (supposedly 50 Mbps).
Thanks.

Every time I switch the Network Mode from 3G to 4G it automatically changes the APN to another option.

So I visited the O2 shop and the guy had absolutely NO idea what to do. He barely even knew what the Nexus 5 was!
He first thought it was a SIM issue but since the SIM is only 2 months old, it's 100% LTE compatible.
One more try with the online chat help and he said my area had a weak LTE signal and I should go somewhere else and try it.
I haven't done that yet but will try later today.

So you have to move to get LTE working Does O2 provide you with a suitable place to live in? What a stupid response from the guy. If they offer LTE they have also have to deliver it imo!

So apparently they're setting up a tower next to my apartment on the exact same day I'm moving out. -_- I've been frustrated all day trying to get this to work. I'll travel to one of the upscale areas now and see if it works. I don't need 4G at home anyway, it's only for when I'm out.
Will be back with updates later tonight.

So you have to move to get LTE working Does O2 provide you with a suitable place to live in? What a stupid response from the guy. If they offer LTE they have also have to deliver it imo!

So apparently the problem was the coverage in my area. The more heavily populated and "cooler" parts of Berlin have a fully functional super fast LTE.
Strange problem. I tried researching this problem and found nothing.
My OPO works just fine at everywhere except home and another location a few miles away from my home. At these places I can't make or receive phone calls. Data works fine. I flashed the newest resurrection remix, with full wipe. I also tried flashing 3 different modems.
I called T-Mobile and presented them with the problem and they said my phone many be too old and possibly not support T-Mobiles' new LTE bands. So, I asked what band am I receiving at home and they Dont know... I dropped down to prefer 3g and still no luck.
Anyone with a similar experience or may know what I'm dealing with please help. I still love my OPO and would prefer to not buy a new phone.

You might not be able to use Lte perfectly on T-mobile(as they already said) since it uses LTE band 12 mostly which OPO doesn't supports..though I guess 3G should work fine.
Also,I guess T-Mobile uses VoLTE to place calls,which again,OPO doesn't support.
Can you list out the modems/firmwares which you've tried so far?
4.0.1.c7-0013.zip
4.0.1.c7-0011.zip
DI.3.0.c6-00241.zip
Thanks for the info. I guess its time to buy another phone.

Can't you just change your Carrier instead?
LTE discovery app shows i am connected to LTE Band 4. 3 of 4 signal bars. Is it possible that t-mobile uses band 4 for data and band 12 for voice?

I am in USA. The next biggest carrier is Verizon which dont work on OPO. Metro PCS is the same as tmobile. I am not going ATT. OPO dont work on Sprint either.
