I have a HTC Sensation 4g that i got and repaired and switched over to it from my inspire 4g. My inspire would hit 3g great where i am and beyond it at times. So i thought the Sensation 4g would be the same but so far all it will do is 2g for some reason. Have checked APN, making sure WCDMA preferred is set and nothing still 2g but can take my sim stick back in the inspire and bam 3g and more....Not really sure what is going on here...Have searched alot but have not found any real answers yet and hoping perhaps somebody here might know something...So far i have learned a great deal about the android system from here and hoping there is something that can be done. Really like the sensation so far except for the fact its only got a 2g connection...Thought it could be the sim card but then it would not work in my inspire then, so that is ruled out....also went as far as trying different roms thinking maybe different firmware maybe, but nope nothing so far at all. It is rooted and S-off if that matters. Currently has 3.32 firmware and unlocked. Currently running Revalation. If anymore information is needed let me know.....

Update to 3.33 universal. You can find that on the first post if the help thread. Point 13 I think.
Otherwise, do an Ruu. I would recommend the above, as at the very least, you get the latest radios.
VERIFY MD5 BEFORE FLASHING. Make sure you have 70% or more battery. A wrong flash of 3.33 will get you a hard brick, but don't worry as long as you take above precautions.
Happy to help.

check the antenna which is responsible for network
lift them up gently if it is necessary
Alright will do that as soon as I get home from work and will post update. I just remembered something, this originally a T-Mobile phone but is unlocked to use on any network. Not sure if that is useful or not but more info the better to help resolve the problem

No, I dont have another carrier sim card...Have had net10 for several years and not anything different.

Have also put the same sim card in my ZTE 990 as well and 4g works too. I thought about buying a different plan on a different carrier to get a different sim but that could be in vain....

As a update...This is a T-Mobile Version of the Sensation therefore only uses 3g on a 1700 mhz band in which the cell company I am through does not broadcast on that band so this phone will never get 3g or anything else unless i change companies. Thank You Everyone for your help.

Unfortunately buying and activating a sim card from another network just to see if it was gonna work was something i did not have money for...I have spoke with HTC and confirmed what i wrote in the other post about this being a T-Mobile phone and specific to certain bands...and unless the network i use has that specific band it will never work for 3g. Unless there is a way to reprogram the radio frequencies it is a limitation all T-mobile sensations have sadly....but I have found another company that runs on the bands this phone needs to run so will be switching to the new company next month.

So I'm in Bangkok this week, and I have my unlocked stock rooted Infuse 4G with me and my Tru Mobile Roaming SIM won't connect to the right network because the stock rom points to the default AT&T roaming partners, and when I try to manually select a network the manual selection is greyed out.
I read somewhere on here that going into app SamServMode and selecting debug and Debug Screen and Phone Control and Network Control then select Manual it doesn't allow for selection.
The issue is the phone is preferring a different network than my SIM has a roaming agreement with, so I need to be able to manually select. Anyone know of a solution without changing roms?
Thanks!
Anyone? I bought a local DTAC sim and it works fine since DTAC is the official AT&T roaming partner the ROM allows hooking on to it, but still can't use non-DTAC sims as the rom doesn't allow manual network selection
Bump.
Can anyone help her?

So I'm heading home to the states in 24 hours... but I do think this is an interesting topic hopefully someone can assist with. Seems that even when unlocked, a carrrier cannot be manually selected, leaving roaming limited to the carriers att allows even when using another carriers global sim. Seems a limitation of stock rom but is the first time I've seen this on a phone.
Bella i've got the solution for you...
Flash the rogers modem..
The att modems have this feature lockedout, so any changes revert back.... I can confirm that the rogers modem gives full access to changing the network and it does stick....
Do so by pressing *#2263# with rogers modem.... You can then manually select the network to lock onto.

Well I keep finding things that are limiting my experience with this phone. It's definitely been negative overall in comparison to my old Inspire 4g, which was so open, with many ROMs available, and none of the locked down attributes of this Infuse 4G.
So is it really the radio, or is it the ROM? And what are the upsides\downsides to flashing the Rogers ROM? I definitely need to be able to manually select my network, so if's become a non-issue, just need to know what the best way to accomplish it.
Advice\suggestions?
The limitations are built into the modem package.... Not the rom.
Right now the rogers modem performance (and when we say modem, we mean the modem software that tells the radio how to communicate with the network) is on par with the newest att modem with the only difference I can see it the being able to manually select any network.
Bella as for you, unless you rather use odin, to flash with clockworkmod you indeed need the modded 3e recovery and the I9000 version of cwm on your phone...

I installed mod'd 3e Recovery just fine, then flashed the radio posted above in this thread. Seems to have flashed fine, however the manual network selection is STILL greyed out. Any ideas as to why? Seems like another member who said the ROM (Stock AT&T Rooted) is responsible. Are you sure this isn't the case? Any idea as to why I can't manually select a network now?
Thanks!
Now with the Rogers Modem installed, when I go into Network Selection it still is greyed out and says "Default Setup" .. put in a foreign SIM that has both AT&T and T-Mobile USA provisioning allowed, and it doesn't let me select which to use.
:-(
Guess this doesn't resolve the issue. Anyone else have solution as to what I can do to get that Network Selection box available to use? This is the first phone I have ever owned that has disallowed access when I put in a foreign sim. It's getting really annoying dealing with Samsung's inadequacies between flashing and operational limitations, ugh. I would go back to HTC in a heartbeat if the Inspire 4G got better battery life. :-(

I'm just baffled. How is there not a solution that'll allow me to select the network I attach to? I'm not even an AT&T customer. I paid full price for my handset, it's fully unlocked, doesn't even have the AT&T radio anymore, yet I can't select the carrier in the carrier selection menu? I weep for the future of this country's wireless industry if the ATT\T-MO merger goes through.

Huh?
a) I'm able to use it just fine, why would you never buy it without contract? That makes no sense.
b) How are you having trouble unlocking it? It's the easiest unlock of any phone ever made. Doesn't get any more simple. Takes 10 seconds.
Im fairly new to the phone game but i know a little bit. I traded my inspire to a Sensation, unlocked it myself. Everything worked finr except my Data i couldnt use the internet in any way. I called 611 (atts customer serv) and they said the connection was rejected. Luckily i was able to convince the guy i got it from to trade me back and give me the extra money i gave him for the trade. Was i just being a dumbass not knowing what to do or is this an issue. On the phone i went into the carrier and APN and it all seemed fine... Just curious because i would still like that phone but of course want my data connection Thanks
Also someone told me that unlocking/flashing phones will drop them down 2 data speeds (4G-2G/EDGE) Is this true?

Stop listening to ignorant people.
As for the problem you encountered, I believe you got the wrong Sensation. You need the Z710a for AT&T.
lianw is correct. Many of us are happily using the z710a on at&t.
Same guy as Smolt here for some reason it wouldnt let me log back in and after an hour of screwing with it and password retievals..... Well here i am... How do you tell the difference between the 2 Sensations? Did you have to call611 and give them the imei # to use data?
Ive got a post under my newly given moniker, if you find the time check it out. Any help is greatly appreciated and always thanked
So you traded the Sensation back to your original phone, so you no longer have a Sensation, and you still want to know why you were having problems?
People don't waste your time trying to figure out his issue, he doesn't have the phone anymore to try and fix it.

Because not only are people wasting their time on answering your question, but you are also cluttering the forum...who knows, you may never get a sensation again or have the issue if you get the correct sensation and this thread them becomes trash.
unless the sensation supports the at&t 4g or 3g bands, you're limited to edge. that's what happened to me when i was using the inspire on t-mobile.
I think only bell or Virgin(from Canada) Sensation have 850 frequency, it is working fine on Rogers with 3g or HSPA after unlock(which i think it should work on at&t as they are using the same band). I hope this could help u a bit. T-mobile sensation doesn't work on at&t because it doesn't support 850.
I'm using the bell sensation z710a and get ATT 3g speeds with no issues.

Nobody? Theretically it could be done but I just want someone to confirm for me.
After unlocking phone someone tried running t-mobile sim and he said only edge but he did not flash t989 radio so idk. If i can unlock it for free i will try it and let you know.

I have an opportunity to get my hands on one of these phones very soon. I have a HTC HD2 on T-mobile's network. If it is not a bother, could you verify this?

It is unlocked.
What do you need me to verify?? I m confused !
Because you can run t**** on i727 with edge network plus you can flash t989 radios on i727 i done that before but not with t**** sim card.

HSPA+ will not work with the Skyrocket no matter if a radio exists or not. The simple reason is that supported H+ frequencies are 1700 for download and 2100mhz for upload and skyrocket only goes 1900mhz and 2100mhz. So unless you are able to enable the 1700mhz frequency, 4G or 3G will not work with the skyrocket! Edge is the only frequency that will

I'll be travelling to the states next week and will flash either the Telus or Tmobile radio to use Tmobile's prepaid plans. If no one's replied back to you by then, I'll let you know what I find.
However, there are already reported success of people with SR and the Telus radio using the phone on Canada's 1700 AWS network (Wind).. so pretty sure it'll work. Flashing the radio is safe as well, I've already done it once.
Well make sure you do nandroid before flashing that t989 radio. Plus he wants to know how it will run with tmobile sim card and t989 radio on unlocked phone.

OK, I'm in Orlando now and got the T-Mobile prepaid plan...I flashed the T-Mobile vk1 radio and for some reason, I can't connect to any data. I wasn't even able to go into the mobile network settings screen to see the apn settings. Got a msg to insert a sim card to access services...
I then flashed the telus radio and got 3g right away. Speeds are pretty pathetic tho...only 2m down...maybe I'm just too spoiled by lte
Anyways, it's been a long tiring day so I won't do anymore testing right now..maybe tmr I'll try the other kl1 T-Mobile radio.

I'd say try starting from scratch and go back to stock. If you can't get it on stock, don't root it and take it to a Verizon store. Tell them you want a new sim. If a new sim doesn't fix it then it's a hardware issue and you get to bug Verizon until they give you a new Charge.

Okay should I call Verizon to send a new Sim

You can do that, but it'd be quicker to go to a store and just pick one up. They're free regardless, so it's up to you.

Unfortunately, I don't believe they do. If it is the sim though, you can possibly test it by putting someone else's sim (friend or family) in your phone and see if you still can't get data.

no i believe they tell you to do that through backup assistant, i would just export all your contacts to your sd.
and tell me how this goes, because i have had that same issue twice but i never changed the sim,
here is the thread. in the end i did a complete reflash and even then it took a few hours before i saw data so i am unsure if the flash had anything to do with it.

When you boot and its trying to connect do you see a 3g 4g at the top of the screen? If so I dont think the sim is the problem. Ive had it happen a couple of times where it wouldnt do anything.

Hello everyone. This is my first post on XDA. I've been an avid follower for a couple of months now, but I've reached a problem in my hacking spree which cannot be resolved by a simple search.
First thing's first... I'm running AOKP 6, and using the HTC TELUS 1.91 (0.18a.32.09.01_2_10.94.32.20L) radio. I know this sounds silly, but is it OK for me to be connecting to the Telus Operator, rather than Rogers? I have the correct Rogers APN entered, and can use data just fine.
When I enter the Network Operators Menu in the settings, I get a list of three different operators: Rogers, Telus, and Bell. When I tap Rogers, it will authenticate for around 2 minutes and then say it's not available. The same case goes for the other two. But when I enter a dead zone (typically in the university) it says something along the lines of "Cannot connect to network (Telus)"
I suppose another question I have is, is the current radio that I'm using sufficient or is there one which is more beneficial? If it helps anyone, I'm living in the west coast of British Columbia, Canada.
Thank you very much for reading my poorly explained thread. I hope somebody can help me fix this issue I'm having.
I have no idea why you suddenly have no connection to Rogers. It may be an issue with the Telus modem. Have you tried flashing a different one to test? I am on Rogers in Vancity also and i just flashed the 1.88 modem from Asia. It seems to be working fine for me. Perhaps give that one a try.
Before this radio I was using the Rogers one provided in that thread. I was also connected to Telus towers with that one. I will give the Asia radio a try.
Here is a silly question. Is it a Rogers HOX or an AT&T version?

Heh, well. I bought it brand new at Rogers Plus. I'd like to assume it's a Rogers phone.

Lol just checking. I just flashed back to the Rogers radio, the 1.88 radio is crap. My LTE speeds and signal strength took a dump.
Oddly though, this version of the 1.73 Rogers radio fixed my wireless issues.

As for your issue, have you verified that the Rogers LTE apn didnt get screwed up by AOKP?
Really, I'm not sure. I'm using the official Rogers APN with all the right settings. When I get home I'll attempt to flash another radio and report back. By the way, I really appreciate your help. Thank you!

No worries bro. I haven't exactly been much help though, since I am only tossing guesses your way, lol.
Unfortunately, I'm having the same issues and connecting to Telus rather than Rogers. Very strange indeed...

I don't get it. Does it automatically connect to Telus, or just NOT connect to Rogers? Have you tried another ROM?
I would do a nandroid backup of your current setup and maybe try a different rom. Won't hurt, you can always restore.

I honestly wish I were better at explaining this. If I try to manually register to the Rogers operator, or any operator for instance, it will say it's unavailable. Although I do notice that it says it's connected to Telus when I lose connection in a dead zone. It shows "(Telus)" beside a lost signal message.
I would try replacing your sim card. The LTE sim cards can be flakey. Its an easy way to eliminate that possibility. Hell, it may fix it. Other than that you could try playing stupid and calling Rogers. Just don't mention the fact that you have flashed another rom or unlocked your boot loader....
Beamed from my KingCobra1X powered HOXL
Try flashing the king cobra rom I believe it is based for rogers and comes with the HTC Asia radio 1.88. Give that a shot. Not really too sure just trying to help.
Yea. King Cobra is working great for me. I was looking through the AOKP thread and there are a few people reporting data issues. I would swap roms as I suggested a few posts back.

I'm not sure exactly what I did, but I fixed it! I flashed the stock Rogers radio back in my phone, and I'm using a different RIL now. But I'm getting amazing download speeds and connecting to the Rogers Operator. My mind is blown.
I really appreciate your efforts to help me. Thanks.
Awesome! At this point it doesn't matter WHAT fixed it, only that its fixed!
I just flashed the 1.89 Telstra radio with ril and my LTE speeds went up.
