Hello there i got some probs here releted to GPRS, Network Registration and Call Missing...
They are odd and annoyning..so please read through the topic and if possble then gave me some feedback on how to solve the probs..
My Problems Are...
1) if i insert a sim into i-mate jam which is gprs anabled 4m the service provider...then it take 2-3 minute to show the network bar after a reset....but it doesnt happen if i insert a sim from same provider which gprs is deactivated.....
2)And sometimes i just do miss calles even i have full network but others called me and hear that the computer telling my cell is off or out of network covarage...and on that times if i want to do any network tasks like checking my credit by *566# then my jam hangs in phone menu for 1 min then show failed then reregister my network..this think is doing frequently..as a result i have to check that am i in hanged network or not if im on hanged network i cant receive or make call i have to do a reset to get rid of that probs..but again after some hour it came back again..(full network-but cant receive call or make call)..
3) and when the gprs activated sim is inserted and after 2-3 minuted when network bar and "G" icon came i cant log into gprs connection which shows a error "the answering modem is disconnected......tap setting" just after i select connect....even it didnt try to connect..means just it showed up instantly no trying as it happend in earlier farmware which was releted to caller id software... but i found a solution for it (My problem)...
the think i have to do is...go to start>setting>phone>network>network selection..then select manual...after a searching i select my network operator 4m drop down list...then after a minute or two i became again register to the network...then i again select automatic 4m the network list...this time the network search doesnt occure and now i can connect to gprs as usual..... (notes i need to do the same process everytime i reset the device otherwise i cant connect to gprs...and i have to complete the cycle..means after selecting manual and then 4m the availaval network list i register to my operator....but even this time it cant connect gprs...only after that process when i select automatic again then i can connect gprs)
all this think happen to those sim which have gprs connection...means "after inserting those sim the "G" icon appear"...the sim's which are not gprs activated "Means "G" icon doesnt appear after inserting the sim" is not affected by this problem....(for those sim the network bar came just after a reset no legged time..just normal..and call missing probs is not present..but i cant use gprs in a non activated sim!!!!...if i active gprs in that same sim by calling the service provider then the problem started to occure)
NOTES:
i have switched a number of sim 4m 2 provider.....for operator with EDGE support (My operator) has the problem in gprs activated sim..but not in gprs deactivated sim... and another operator which have old gprs only (no edge support) is not effected by this problem..means i can connect to gprs and network legging is not present..
i have done a number of hard reset.....
i tried it in a clean jam with no software..or ex rom installed...
i have intalled the latest firmware from here.... 1.13 and radio 1.13
even did tried it in older firmware 1.11 with various radio started 4m 1.01,1.06,1.11 and others
my network operator run on 900mhz frequency... (GrameenPhone-Bangladesh)
i was able to use the gprs as usual even a month earlier without any problem...it started recently 4m the day the regisrtation to network lag problem started....so im sure they are releted with each other...
i also tried changing the gprs slot 4m setting menu....
i have used the sim(s) in another jam i owened....there has no such problem... on that set everything works ok.
Other nokia or sonyerricson set is also working...so i dont think it is a network probs..
all the other pda funtinallity other then the phone portion works great...no probs atall there..so i guiss it has omething to do with radio portion..
and all gprs desabled sim works flawless in that set...
but nothing is helping me other then of the network selection method i mentioned earlier (first manual>then again automatic...)
now my question is what can i do???
1) to solve the network bar problem (means registration to network) which came after 2-3 minute after the reset...so i cant call within 4 minute after reset...cant even go to prone pad..it doesnt came before the network bar came...
2) why i cant connect to gprs without doing that nasty trick....i have mentioned earlier...
3)And is it a hardware fault or rom fault??or in somehow my operators fault as another operator sim works flawless..
PS:recently i montored that i can update firmware via activesync/pc as usual the i-mate's one or t-mobile one with noid..but if i tried to do update via SD card then the radio portion doesnt updates...
as an example i have 1.11,1.11 rom-radio combination installed..and i have a earlier backup of bigstorage rom of my jam with rom radio combination 1.13,1.13..but after doing the sd update only the rom portion did updated to 1.13 radio is still in 1.11...though i can updated it later on by pc using activesync..
and again with ntrw writer i did copied only the radio file (1.13) to my sd card (downloaded 4m ftp of the forum...the dumped sd card one not the nb1 file.)..but when i tried to update in bootloader mode it gave me a error called "section 1 error" and it doesnt start the flash..though the complete rom package did updates via bootloder but again radio portion didnt updated..
Anyways if anyone can enlighten me on how to solve that very stupid problems then i will be greatfull!!
Thanks
Hi guys,
As the new owner of O2 Exec, that I purchase in second hand shop, I come up with some questions and issues. Of course, I tried to find my answer on the forum but couldn't find it so I was thinking maybe some experienced users might have the answer.
Also some information about the configuration of my O2 Exec:
O2 Exec
Rom Version: 1.30.107 WWE
Rom Date: 04/11/06
Radio Version: 1.09.00
Protocol Version: 42.42.P8
ExtROM Version: 1.30.162 WWE
I have unlock the exec and I am using it with a T-Mobile sim card in the UK. I am also register with Web'n'walk (Unlimited GPRS data plan).
I am synchronizing the Exec with Exchange server and I am using the email push.
See below:
- When I plugged the exec by Usb for active sync, I got an error on my laptop saying that I can't synchronize. If I unplug the cable and plug it again, it tend to works (Sometimes it doesn't work and I have to kill active sync on my laptop and start it again). Any ideas?
- Is there a way to completely block the data transmission when I am abroad. In fact, before I was using a Blackberry and there was an interesting option which allow to block all data connection when you are Roaming. Good to avoid bad surprise with the expensive data roaming fee.
- When I am using TCMP to listen to music. It starts to play fine, and then suddenly i got an error saying that the file can't be found on the SD card. I didn't remove the card and I can see that the card is still there in the file explorer.
- Does the email Push can work with Wifi or only with GPRS? If yes, how can I configure this?
- How can I check on the today screen that my bluetooth is paired correctly. I use to have a Blueangel with WM2003 and I remember that there was an icon in the top bar with a headset to indicate that the bluetooth headset was paired. The only workaround so far is to press my bt headset and see if the voice dialing window come up. I think there might be a better way.
- Is there a point for me to upgrade my Radio version? I tried to do it but get an error that the country code wasn't correct or something like this. If it brings improvement can you please give me some information on how to do upgrade it on a O2 exec since it is an Orange upgrade?
- I am using Web'n'walk in the uk with only GPRS. I configure the gprs parameter with the information from the internet. The information given by the customer services where not working. Is there any way to use the UMTS (i.e. 3G) instead of GPRS. The customer services told me that I have to upgrade my plan to do so. Anybody have another solution?
To conclude, this handset is a really impressive machine. As I say before, I used to have a Blueangel and I can see that a lots of things have improved since then.
Sorry for my big list of questions and thank you very much for your help.
Julien.
Web'nWalk with UMTS
I have a Web'nWalk tariff on t-Mobile.
If your sim is a recent one (mine is a year old), it can handle both GPRS and UMTS depending on availability. Older sims cannot - you have to request a new one. This was confirmed by T-Mobile support as well as my experience with the sim. It drops to GPRS where there's no 3G coverage, and I get good speed with 3G (UMTS) in most parts of London
You need to set Network Type to Auto (Phone -> Menu -> Options -> Band) if the current default is GSM.
Hope this helps.
Hi, I offer to pay anyone £50 if they can assist me in resolving the following issue. I have made two similar posts in different areas of the hermes forum but still not solved my problem.

Time for a few more questions....!!
Hi,
Does your phone display the "U" (or 3G) symbol to denote that 3G coverage is available?? I looked at your website to get your location and plugged it into http://enableoci.orange.co.uk/uk/UKCoverageSearch.htm (I used the town rather than the postcode to get an overall coverage map) - it looks a bit patchy to me (for your work postcode, the local area looks pretty good); I guess it depends on whether you're using the phone at work or when you're out and about?
Do you know what radio version is on your phone; has it been updated with one of the radios and/or ROM's from this site or does it have the standard issue Orange radio? You can find out by going to Start | Settings | System tab | Device information. If the radio version is >= 1.38.x.x then you should be fine (although some people on Orange have reported that radio 1.41.x.x is not as good as 1.40.x.x - opinions vary ).
Do you or any colleagues have another Orange 3G phone that works where yours doesn't?? We need to establish whether the problem is just with your phone or whether it is in fact related to the 3G coverage generally.
Let me know how you get on
Mark.
Hi Mark,
My mission is to get this phone working on Vodafone 3g. I was testing Orange to see if it was a network problem.
I am now at my office and when in phone mode it now displays
UMTS Orange and the 3g signal, calls and browsing are now allowed!!
Here is the device info:
Rom Version 2.11.255.1
ROm Date 03/07/07
Radio 1.38.00.10
Protocol Version 32.71.7020.12H
ExtRom 2.11.255.104
I am just waiting to get a Vodafone 3g Sim Card to test, to see if it was only a matter of location.
Many Thanks

Have you tried the radio engineering test application?
I had a similar problem using my Vodafone with an O2 SIM card. I'd installed the O2 settings cab but still the data stuff wouldn't work.
The problem turned out to be that the data connection was still trying to use the Vodafone settings. To resolve this I installed Daniel Herrero's Bandswitch. This allows me to disable connection settings and only leave the settings active for the current SIM.
Hi,
I have an X1 purchased in Taiwan, so i re-flashed it using Touch IT 5.05 with opera cooked in.....so i had it in English. I have set up the usual connection settings using the CHT (chungwha telecom - taiwan) but i still cannot connect to the internet. I get either a H or a 3G at the top suggesting it is connecting, but i cannot get anything to work.
I have spent over 2 hours with the guys at the telecoms offices and they can't do it either. Is there likely to be a problem with this Rom or is it something else?
I think i know all the operator settings. There is no username or password required, and all the server IP addresses should be set to automatic, including DNS (though i have read different on some sites suggest it should be 10.1.1.1 - - which doesn't work either)?
Should i flash back to a chinese rom and try that? Should it make any difference? Am i being really stupid and missing something? Is there another rom i can try that will allow me to get the data i pay for!
I have tried the sim card in an Iphone which connects ok, suggesting that the SIM card and stuff at their end is not at fault.
Any help would be hugely appreciated!!!
just installed wp7 on my hd2 and after the start up my phone keeps searching for the network. have tried automatic network selection and tap to select but no luck. am using 2.15 radio. would appreciate any help.
goto your settings, scroll to cellular, then down to add apn, in the apn box type epc.tmobile.com and leave the rest blank.
this works with tmobile us
isn't that supposed to be only for the data connection? even without entering the apn the phone should be able to find the network for just making voice calls. so mine seems to be a different problem. the phone is simply unable to catch any signals.
from my understanding of the whole cell phone fiasco is the sim card has everything the phone needs to connect your providers tower and also tells your phone what services you have voice, data, etc etc, so it should setup voice automatically. i would try searching for the program (htc connection setup) they use to install the xml files it also sets your phone with the provider.
good luck.

Only search at the internet for your apn settings, enter them and voila you can use your data connection, nothing more nothing less and done in a minute. HTC Connection Setup don't work well but you have to use it later if you want to change phone type to HD7 for the Marketplace ^^)

yeah we covered that part, the concern is that the phone is/was not connecting to the towers
Maybe check out other Radio ROM. 2.15 should work well, but uses more battery.
switched back to winmo 6.5 for a while and the same radio worked fine (caught the signal etc.). Just now again tried to flash wp7 using 2 different radios, that is 2.12 and 2.14. Have already tried 2.15 with my first attempt, but the problem just remains the same.... 'no network found'. any thoughts? have even tried putting in the apn too. no luck
u know its funny cus its the exact same with mine exactley the same ive tried everything and it picks up the signals but it wont let me connect to any network at all... the phone is just fine except that one problem.. plz any body help us with this stupid problem

i was havin the same damn problem, and i just flashed the 2.11.50.26 radio, and boom baby!! instant network connection. no more 3 beeps and disconnection for me now to check battery life and wifi (no 3g in trinidad yet, so u can't test that)
sim lock...???
After trying different radios by flashing and re-flashing, I've noticed something I should mention. My phone dialer shows a sim icon with a lock on the top left of the screen. Does that shed a new light on things?
sim lock ???
hey sameer... I have the very same issue with my HTC HD2. It is unlocked and I am facing the very same issue that you are when I revert to WinMo 6.5 everything works fine with the same radio. I've tried almost every radio now and have no luck. However, the funny thing is that I do see the sim with a lock when I go to my dialer. I suspect the OS is SIM Locked, however, when in WinMo 6.5 every Sim Card is recognized and works properly
Any luck with the issue yet??
Let me know of your thoughts... btw I'm on Ufone's Network.
It's the sim card!
Problem solved for me and hopefully for salmanjavaid too!
I learnt it the harder way though, by which I mean that I spent money to buy an HD7 and after inserting my sim in my brand new HD7..... no signal again! oooops! Only then it occurred to me to try some other sim cards. My network is also Ufone here in Pakistan. So first I tried a Prepaid Ufone sim (the one with white and orange colour and 64K printed on the back)...and Lo and Behold my hd7 gets the signal and network settings and data connection works fine too! Other operators' sim cards like Telenor, Warid and Mobilink worked fine too. But when I insert the sim card which is in my use back again....no signals again! This sim card is a different version, perhaps not 64K and plain black color on the back.
A call to my Personal Customer Service Executive assigned by Ufone sets the next course of action. He'll bring a replacement sim card for me, when I get back home.
My suggestion to salmanjavaid: try other sim cards first. If they work then get a replacement sim card.
Hope it solves your problem too.
id give this a shot. I'm on vacations in Pakistan and have my Sim Card from O2. I will give it a shot tonight Thanks for the suggestion.
