Does anyone have experience with HTC One S phones on the WIND mobility service in Canada?
After I initiated a software upgrade (prompted by my phone) my phone stopped working? I am assuming something was corrupted in the process. I had someone on this forum help to fix the problem but after numerous attempts the phone is now able to connect while roaming to other local networks (Bell, Telus) but is unable to connect to the local WIND network. Apparently HTC has not provided a RUU that will work for this phone on WIND.
Thanks

Need some expertise on this one!
So I bought the ChaCha unlocked on Ebay because I wanted a black Android phone with a portrait keyboard and liked the look of the black model from AU's Vodafone network. While it's reading the network as AT&T when I put my SIM Card in, I'm getting absolutely no data to the phone...in other words...none of my android apps will work unless I'm connected to WiFi. I can make calls, but that's it.
I've taken it to 3 AT&T stores here in the U.S. and they've tried connecting it to the data servers using different phone codes, but have been unsuccessful. These codes are normally 10+ characters in length.
Does anyone know what code would work on this phone in the U.S. on the AT&T network.
If it's not possible as is, is there a way to edit/change something to get it to work on a certain data code
All information is appreciated! Thanks!
Here's the phone I purchased:

Anybody have any idea or suggestions? Is it a radio issue...do I need to flash another radio or is the hardware just not meant to work on the AT&T network in the U.S.? I can't figure out why calls work on GSM (it says my provider is AT&T) but data won't come through. Should I put it as GSM/WCDMA auto instead of GSM only...will that do anything?
My current radio is: 7.51.35.19
Hi All,
I have a HTC 8X. It's a Bell CA version but unlocked and I use it on AT&T. I recently upgraded my data plan to include tethering but have some issues.
I've tried with multiple devices so its definitely my phone with the issue. I am able to turn on sharing and connect via wifi to my phone. My phone shows that I am successfully connected but I cannot reach the internet. AT&T have checked the provisioning of the account and tell me it should be working. The only thing I can think of is there is some inner workings where Bell and AT&T differ.
Anyone got any ideas for me please? Cheers.
Hello Everyone,
Recently I came back from trip to USA. Everything was working fine, I used Wind's roaming in USA. Ever since I came back to Canada, my phone is struggling to connect to Wind Home network. It almost always connects to Wind Away (roaming) even when I'm in the coverage zone. I tried a new SIM card, factory reset, *#*#4636#*#* steps and I'm still stuck. Eventually it connects to Home network after 1 hr but when I lose the signals (subway tunnel, basement), the phone is back to Wind Away and stuck again.
I tried Koodo and Virgin mobile SIM on OPO and they work fine, however when I put my brother's Wind SIM (which was not used in USA at all), the phone doesn't connect to WIND Network. The same SIM on LG G2 locked on WIND works fine. The provider says that they have no issues from their side regarding the IMEI and all that.
Can someone please help me with this frustrating problem? I'm running CM12.1 (currently stock state) and International OPO. Thank you!
I have the exact problem on Wind with my oneplus one. Went to Lac la Biche for a few days and now I'm back in Edmonton it's stuck on wind away.
Hi! We purchased a sealed (unlocked, we think) Galaxy S7 (G930A) online, and are using it in Canada with the Bell Mobility network (using a Bell SIM card). The connection works, but, we noticed two things:
1) The signal sometimes cuts out, as it drops off the network, and we need to power off and power on the device, and
2) The current version of Android software is 6.0, and when we try to do the Software Update, it says there are no updates available.
I have heard that because we are not connected to the AT&T network here in Toronto, it won't send the OTA update. Does anyone know a way around this? I am not against using Odin software and trying to manually install the new software, but, that would be our least preferred option.
I have tried purchasing an AT&T prepaid sim card (did not load any value on it), and it still says no update available. We jhave tried using the Smart Switch software, but it says no updates available.
If anyone else has gone through this situation before, we would love to hear your story. Any help on how to get the software update would be very much appreciated.
Thank you.
Hello!! I'm new here! I hope I'm posting this in the right place. I have a TCL 30 XE 5G (T767W) from Metro by T-Mobile and I had it sim unlocked by an eBay seller who had me hook it up to my PC via USB. The settings menu says it's still locked but it does accept sims from other carriers so I think it's unlocked. The problem is that it won't find any service at all with any sim other than the original Metro sim unless I set it to 2G only mode. Even selecting my service provider from the available network list doesn't work. The only way I can get the phone to find service is to force it to connect to 2G then change the network mode to LTE and then finally set it to 5G and that doesn't always work either and even when it does it's only a matter of time before it randomly disconnects and is left forever searching for service but never reconnecting until I set it back to 2G only mode again. All this is happening in a city with great T-Mobile coverage and all of the sims I've tried run on the T-Mobile network. The only sim that works without any fuss is the Metro sim even after the phone was unlocked. I'm using the phone on a T-Mobile MVNO now but it always disconnects sooner or later. I don't understand how a new phone can't automatically find an LTE or 5G network without first connecting to 2G and it doesn't find that either unless it's set to 2G only mode. Aside from the obvious inconvenience this causes, T-Mobile plans to shut down their 2G network soon at which point this phone won't be able to find service. Has anyone else run into this problem? I have two of these phones both are doing the same thing. Did something go wrong with the unlock? Is it a software issue? I tried asking my carrier for help but they can't figure it out either. I appreciate any help or info anyone here can offer. Sorry for the long post.
i suggest taking into a service and getting it there unlocked. perhaps your method prove faulty.
