Hi to all,
i live on the border between countries, and i have the following problem, terribly annoying: i have a swisscom subscription, and as soon my telephone goes into roaming, especially SFR, it doesn't leave it.
I can of course set "network selection" to manual, and "set networks" to a restricted subset, not including SFR and with Swisscom as a first network. It almost works...up to the first soft reset, when everything is restored to the original configuration and..SFR!
Do you know a way to load onto the phone a different list of networks, so not to have to tick 20 networks every time i soft reset? I am afraid this list come from my SIM card, and apparently my SIM doesn't keep the manual selection in memory.....

Hi to all,
i live on the border between switzerland and france, which means that if i don't control roaming i am dead!
on the QTEK 9100 (rom 2.8.7.1) i can set my preferred networks (SET NETWORKS) in automatic mode, but every time i soft reset this information is lost. does the same happen to you? do you understand why?
yes often happens to me and dont know why. these settings should be stored with the network provider not on the handset so maybe its a network problem!?

As far as I know they should be stored on the SIM. There is a problem with some devices either ignoring the preferred networks list entirely, or loosing the settings (as they are SIM-locked by the provider so the saving to SIm fails silently).
Check with your SIM/Network provider - they will be able to tell you if you can change the settings or not. On some networks, and with some SIMS you just can't.
I just bought a fido sim card and I get the msg: "cannot register on this network. choose another network, or disconnect your data connection and try again" when i try to manually connect to the network. I have using this phone with at least two sim cards back in my outcry and i bought it independently from my previous network from an eshop in Ireland..
Any thoughts? Could be the ROM and radio installed?

maybe you just need simunlock, to get it go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Blackstone#SIM_Unlocking
I have tried to unlock the sim but the text file doesnt contain any 8-digit number.. So i assumed that this is not the problem..
changing the sim does not change anything in your system settings so maybe you need to adjust some settings to get it working. go to phone settings and look at the band and network settings. once you did that your sim should be able to register with the network, then run the connection wizard to set up your 3g and mms settings.
some settings are also stored on the sim card itself (including call barring, call waiting, sms service center...). eventually you should have a look into that as well.
if it isn't in the settings, you should post more information on your device. what rom/radio rom/spl are you running?
I have already played around with the band settings but nothing. I also have run the network wizard several times, but nothing either..
My ROM is 1.59.23148 SL7.1 WWE and the radio 1.13.25.24
I flashed the official rom:RUU_BlackStone_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.1_Radio_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship
and when I try to set the network type to GSM (from auto selection) or/and band to 850/1900 I get the msg: "Warning: Unable to change the GSM/UMTS Band, Please try again later."
Is there a way to lock my Diamond2 to use SIM card only from one operator (CC 284 NC 03, Bulgaria Vivacom) ???
I want to make my girlfriend to get SIM from Vivacom .
Not so sure about the simcard part but you can configure the phone to use only 1 network. Go to phone setting, personal, phone.
On the network page, set to manual and pick the operator network u wanna use. That'll get the phone to connect to that particular network only.
Changing simcards should result in no network connection, unless the setting is changed back to auto or set to another operator..

Good solution, but when reboot the phone I get message to select network again and she can choose another network.
Lol don't you think you are over-abusive to your gf??? What's the catch? Unlimited Viva 2 Viva calls????
Really strange case:
I got a RAZR M that I hacked to work with US GSM carriers using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2166542
I am using my corporate ATnT card with it.
I am currently in roaming (Russia first, now Kazakhstan). Only GSM/UMTS networks here.
I have another simcard with me which is from Russian operator (Beeline). This network is present in Kazakhstan, however simcard is Russian, so in Kazakhstan this Beeline simcard is also in roaming.
Status:
On ATnT card, my RAZR wont connect properly to local cellphone networks. To explain better - it will occasionally connect to one of local operators (KCELL, MCC/MNC 40102), but it takes A LONG time to connect, easily disconnects, and it is very unreliable and erratic.
Moreover, in Mobile Network Settings menu there is NO OPTION to select operator (i do have GSM/UMTS mode enabled, not global).
On BeeLine card, my RAZR happily connects to any of chosen networks, AND operator selection option is available in Mobile Network settings.
I have another phone in my pocket - old Nokia S40 based. This one works perfectly with Beeline simcard. With ATnT simcard it wont automatically connect to a network, but manual operator selection dialog is accessible, and I can select any network and connect to it.
So, for some reason, with ATnT simcard in my RAZR, mobile networks settings menu disbles (completely removes!) operator selection dialog.
Any way to get around this? I have scraped around every possible search criteria, but I cant find any way to force that menu item to appear!
However, I accidentally stumbled upon a weird workaround:
I put Beeline card in
Manually select operator (Beeline)
Turn off the phone
Put in ATnT simcard
Turn the phone on
In this case on startup phone throws in notification (from motorola phone app) saying "selected preferred network not available".
If i click that notification, it takes me directly to network scanning menu, happily displays available networks and allows me to connect. From that point on, it stays fixed to the network I chose.
This means that this is not a problem of simcard or radio or ROM directly. It is some weird trigger built into ROM that reacts to ATnT simcard and removes "operator selection" option from setting.
Any idea how to force Operator Selection option to appear, or invoke it otherwise? Or maybe solve the issue alltogether? My workaround is really inconvenient.
I'm having a bit of a weird issue with my Moto X Play folks.
I bought this carrier-locked (it's the only way we can do it in Canada), and then bought and unlock code and unlocked it. Ezpz.
It's been working fine for over a week now, but suddenly last night I notice that despite having signal bars and LTE data working, I don't have any actual cell phone service (I can't call or text anyone, it says mobile network not available).
My phone is still completely stock, haven't changed anything or fiddled around with apn settings or whatnot, so I have no idea as to why it's suddenly doing this.
I have tried restarting the phone, pulling out and re-inserting the sim card, etc. but nothing is helping so far. I notice that upon starting up the phone it detects that it is Rogers for a split second and then just reverts to No Service.
Anyone know what the issue is?
Waybe try with another sim card?

I don't have any other sim cards, unfortunately.
Try this:
See screenshots (in case you missed the drill)
1. From drop down setting menu pick "more"
2. From "more" pick "cellular networks"
3. From "cellular networks" pick "network operators"
4. From there let it finish scanning
5. It should give you everything it can see (network wise inc other networks Bell, Telus, etc)
6. Pick "choose automatically"
See if that does the trick. If not come back to #4 and pick appropriate network (the ones with -Ext suffix are roaming partner network and usually don't connect if you are getting a signal from your home network.
If that doesn't work then come back to #4 again and repeat choose automatically again and that might just do the trick.
It's not a exact science just something I have used over the years to tame the beast (not with this phone)
If no difference then it might just be the SIM card.
Do the steps in the order listed.
Check apns
So far trying that hasn't changed anything for me... still displaying no service.
APN has nothing to do with actual call/sms services. My data/LTE works fine too.
