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 all, I cannot find a network to connect to. It always says 'Current Network: Searching...' and when I try to Set Networks it says 'Unable to read setting from the network. Try viewing settings later, or disconnect data connection and try again.'
My SIM is with Orange and it has got GPRS enabled on it. My device is an 02 XDA II which is unlocked:
ROM - 2.01a.ooWWE
Date- 03/10/06
Radio - 1.08.00
Protocol - 1337.18
I have tried lots of different upgrades, unlocks etc. but it all boils down to no phone network being detected.
Can someone please point me in the direction of a solution? I'm almost totally grey now from trying. Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Sounds like a SIM problem or the less likely possibility of an antenna problem. Try these steps to see what the problem is:
1) Test your SIM card in another phone. At the same time, try out another SIM in your XDA II.
2) To ensure it is not an antenna problem, see if you can select another provider's network once the other SIM has been inserted.
I would also consider a soft reset...this seems to be fix a lot of common problems when an app refuses to run properly for example after working just fine for some time or when an SMS won't be sent by the PocketPC.
Good Luck
have you typed on the gprs / mms settings for your operator ?
Hi, all -
I'm hoping for a bit of help - came off a flight yesterday, switched flight mode off and... tick tock... the phone has been searching for the network ever since.
I'm not able to access the phone options either from the keypad screen or from the settings folder. I've hard reset the phone, soft reset it, searched the web for an answer or two - no luck.
It's an O2 version Exec, running their latest rom on a corp install. I've not installed any new progs recently and the sim card works fine on a separate phone.
Any suggestions?

I have exactly the same problem...
I saw the little antenna on my screen but not with signal strength bars, but with dots, and said on double click, searching for network.
A friend told me that it is my SIM card problem. So I went to TIM stores, and they gave me a new one SIM 128K, with my number.
I put it in my qtek, and ......... voila. It worked.
But only for 4 hours. After that I didn't get any signal.
I must say that this problem came 3 days after my upgrade of firmware with the new one O2 Xda_Exec_Upgrade_v1.30.162.
Now I can't install any Radio firmware, as it says ERROR UPGRADING RADIO ROM.
I don't know what to do.
Is anyone out there that can help us????
Firstly, my 2020 has TofClock WM 6 installed for a couple of months.
Today, I removed my SIM card from it, and when I put it back, it didn't want to connect anymore to the network. It shows No Service.
Manual network doesn't work, neither network detect doesn't find anything.
Tried with Vodafone and 2 Orange SIMs. No luck.
Couriously, on Orange, where I have GPRS activated, the GPRS bar is "connected". The network indicator shows an " ! " on both Orange or Voda.
Any suggestions ?
LE: not to forget, Phone or Contacts can not be accessed. But SIM Manager yes, and I can see all contacts on the SIM.
most of it sounds like a ½ broken simcard connector (hardware)
but since normal contacts dont display i would
1 hardreset and clear storage and regHive ...
2 reflash both rom and radio
Thank you, solved just by clearing storage and regHive.
So okay, I've posted this topic earlier but forgot it and stuff so here's the problem:
I have a HTC P4350, with provider KPN (Netherlands). I've never had any problems at all, but when I tried to 'pimp' my phone a bit, it went wrong. I had to do a Hard-Reset on it, but when I did this, my phone isn't having a good signal!
So usually you have the 3-4 bars at your connection logo, but even when I'm outside sometimes, it won't find a signal and there will be the 'No Connection' error. I cant make a call/ be called or send a message/receive messages.
Please help me.

Try another radio mate, you can find a lot in the Wiki depending on your device and actual ROM, I had similar problems and after testing 5 different radios finally found the more suitable to me
Hope this helps
Good luck
AAAAAAH
WHICH RADIO DO I NEEDD!
I LIVE IN EUROPE, THE NETHERLANDS..
this is soo annoying.
Same problem
Hello
I have this same problem with my XDA Zinc. Yesterday something happened to my PDA and since then its not showing up any network service.
Though all the other "wireless" features are working, this one alone is screwed up.
It searches for network and then says No service or Unavailable.
I tried phone settings -> changing the Network from Automatic to Manual, but then says it cannot read the network settings. I also tried "Set network" , but same error.
I am staying in switzerland and i have a mobile connection called Lebara.
Four months back, when i bought this connection, i had the same problem, but i did something and fixed it. (As far as i remember i fiddled with the Set Network, and it showed me list of all networks from all the countries, and i checked my service provider, and it worked). after that i never had any problems, until yesterday afternoon.
I put my sim card in another mobile phone and it worked. i tried soft reset and even hard reset, but all in vain.
One doubt i have about the hard reset, : It displays a screen with DOS like fonts and when i give hard reset, it restarts. But i have all my data (softwares and contacts intact.) did it really do hard reset?? If not how do i do that?
Also can you give me links for latest ROM updates, I am just wondering if a ROM update would fix this up. i have windows mobile 6.0.. Any "official" updates after that for XDA Zinc??
Please help me as i get very important calls , and i am completely paralyzed since morning.
Ok.. I am not sure if this is the problem , or if doing something with, my problem would be solved..
I went to O2 Autoconfig, and there It says ,
Current Network: 3 Australia
Detected Network: Lebara
And in Preferred Network,
Country: Australia,
Operator: 3 Australia
The country does not have Switzerland..
Though my network is Lebara, and it shows detected network as same.. Does it mean that it "knows" its Lebara, but due to some reason its not connecting.. , or is it that it is the "history" of my last connection..??
I am not sure, but if i can add "Switzerland" inside country list, then i may be able to solve this problem. (am i correct? )
If so, how do i do that..??
ok..
Now that nothing is working , i am getting F****** frustrated.. I tried Schap's Setup operator. http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2008/01/29/schaps-setup-operator-v03.html
However it does not show my service provider for my country (Switzerland)..
I put an orange sim card (since it had orange in the list).. I tried this again with this new orange sim card.. but that also didnt work..
Can anyone help me out PLEASE????????????????????????????
i need help ASAP... PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEe
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.
