2) when trying to retrive pop3 email(no exchange server involved) get new message about extra charge as roaming and then it try to connect for a spilt second before displaying error syncronising
i can roam all networks pick everything up?
please help people

hello,
I've no probleme with data connection when roaming my provider is SFR (france) and roaming provider is proximus (belgium).
Have you trying with another roaming provider ?

as many as i can try telia,vodafone se ,iq etc etc
no joy-beginning toi think it is to do with t-mobile

also without stating the obvious, as and when i can find a free wifi-everything works

are you having prob only with your data connection?? back in uk (?) were you using 3g or gprs and lastly in setting/phone/ is the band set to wcdma (3g) or gprs

in uk had set data to auto all have tried every over type- but still does not explain why it worked seamless before -it either is something within the wm6 rom(i doubt) or t-mobile(proable)
but as i m traveling as soon as i get back i would like to get to the bottom of it.

It may not be your Universal - it may be your provider
Did you inform T-Mobile that you were going overseas? They need to activate international roaming on your account...
I've seen this problem before (working in a phone shop and all...), a customer from country xxxxx can't make\receive calls - because international roaming is not active on their account

Roaming worked on WM5, now not on WM6
Hi
I had similar problems. While Roaming previously (From SA (MTN), roaming in Mauritius (on Cellplus and Emtel) under WM5, I had no problems with SMS (text) or data calls.
Recently upgraded to WM6 (Laurentius' V7 VideoCall) and when landing in Mauritius last week, I could not send SMS(text) or connect data. It picked up the network. I did not test normal voice calls, since I usually dont make any while roaming. I simply used my sim card in a different handset for the week, but it was very frustrating, since Ive come to rely heavily on data access while travelling overseas (for email, skype, etc)

Could also be Radio Ver
Hi all, Could you all edit your posts and enter your Radio SStack Ver ?
And if you can remember what Ver you were on when it used to work on WM5.
As stated in the post, the 1.18 Stack had updates for roaming, I haven't had a chance to test it myself, could anyone provide feedback on roaming with 1.18.
Cheers,
Beast

dark force(excellent) and radio 1.15 will try upgrade as leave country in a few weeks

I roam between China, Hong Kong and Taiwan a lot. It appears data works better with some local service providers only. So what I do is when travelling to a new place, know which local providers data network 'roams' better with my China Mobile, by manually selecting, and trying, one by one, on the phone control panel, network selection part. Once I found one that worked, then I manually fix to that one.
Now everytime I travel to a different region, I just do, phone control panel->network->manual-> choose the known good one.
I hope this works in your situation and network providers.

[Q] HTC HD7 - how to manually select from available networks ?

Anyone got an HTC HD7 ?
If so, how do you select from a list of available networks ?
A friend of mine has just bought one on O2 and is stuck in Dubai with no emails - it was working perfectly in the UK, and all relevant services are enabled on his O2 account.
Roaming/data are both enabled on the phone itself but the phone has defaulted to the Etisalat network. O2 recommend using either of the AL JAWAL, Mobily or Zain networks for their services to work in Middle East/Emirates countries.
Anyone got a UK one and care to offer a menu sequence to select from available networks ?

I think the options are under cellular in the settings menu. Not sure about how to change it manually though

HTC app called connection wizard or something...

Go to settings>cellular>scroll to bottom, choose tap to select where it says network selection:automatic

[Q] Problem with 3G connection after roaming in 2.3.3

Hi there.
I've a problem with my O1.
I've updated it to Gingerbread V20C stock and have a problem with the mobile internet connection.
My mobile operator is H3G italy. When there is no signal under H3G network it swap to another operator for roaming and the 3G connection drop. No problem till there, 'cos i disabled data roaming.
But when the H3G connection come back, it does not connect to internet. I've checked several times for apn parameters and they are ok, and it isn't a network problem for sure.
Any hint?
Sorry for my poor english, i hope you can understand my question as well...

3G problem with GingerLOL 1.5 (Vietnam)
Hi all,
I'm come from Vietnam. I met problem with 3G connection after install GingerLOL 1.5 ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118685).
Everything seems Ok except 3G connection.
Is there any one met the same problem ? If you knew solution for it, pls share it with me.
Thank you very much,

Hi all,
I am sorry, I have just found out the solution.
We should change APN setting, it can't detect it automatic.
In Vietnam, pls refer : tinhte.vn/thay-doi-nang-cap-firmware-280/p500-huong-dan-flash-rom-2-3-3-official-cua-lg-romania-root-753413
Other countries should take Mobile provider factor of your countries.
Thank you,

It's not a apn settings problem. My apn settings are ok and 3g connection work till the telephone lost h3g network and switch to other operator. When it come back to h3g i have the voice services but no 3g connection at all.

1) If you are not in roaming then turn off roaming, if you are in roaming then turn in on see it is working or not.
2) Just select on 2G from setting and check EDGE is working for you or not. If both the the things have same problem then talk to your ISP and confirm another phone has the same problem or you are only one who is facing this problem.
3) Some times your carrier change their APN without any notice so check they have same APN or not.

I'm sure it's not a network problem because other phones or the same phone with Froyo works with no problem at all.
With 2.3 i have 3g connection until i'm in a point where the default operator (H3G italy) have no signal so the telephone switch to the roaming operator. There the internet connection drop (i've disabled data connection while in roaming), but it's ok.
If the telephone switch again to the default operator i have no problem at all with voice services, but the 3G network connection don't come back until i reboot my O1. Other people have the same problem with the same device and the same version of android (lg stock rom) and the same operator (the only one that use roaming in italy).

I've had problems with my 3G connection too. Didn't go out of the country or anything, just turned on and turned off the 3G connection (data). Had to reboot every time it happens.

This seems a known bug with Gingerbread on P500 and h3g italy... Hope they fix soon....

Hi, I have same problem with data connection lost after return from national roaming in Slovakia (oprator O2). I have LG Optimus One with official gingerbread upgrade. Do you have some news about this problem? Thanks

[Q] No connection

I updated manually to 4.04 I9023
My problem is: i am a dutch guy with a contract with Vodafone NL. I work in Holland but live in germany, everyday i cross the border from holland to germany. In holland everything is working fine, but when i cross the border in germany to go home, no connection avaible, even search avaible networks, vodafone De is found, but i cant make a connection. no service
Anyone an idea what to do.

have you tried to talk with your mobile operator ?
they have an option to unlock your sim so he will work only to the home country.
second thing i can think of is enable roaming at network settings

Problem solved, had smething to do with the fire in holland at an vodafone point

Unable to register to Danish GSM networks

I just bought a OPO second hand from UK and I'm unable to use any Danish simcard. I had an old vacation sim from the Philippines that worked (and roamed) straight away. If I try automatic network selection or direct network selection I get "Can't connect to this network right now, try again later!". I'm at a complete loss here and any help would be appreciated.
I've checked that LTE/GSM is selected in radios and LTE (preferred) is set in the normal settings. The phone can see all the networks here in Denmark in the 'Network Operators' list.
