Hey,
I unlocked my UK ORANGE HTC with the info I found from this forum. The first time it worked like a charm... Put my Finnish simcard inside and it worked. Both in the UK and abroad.
But I tried to put my Finnish simcard into the phone few days ago and now it cant seem to find network for some reason. The simcard works in other phones and finds network.
When I go to the network settings. The network selection is on automatic. I tried to change it to manual put it says:
"network error. cannot read settings from the network. try viewing settings later, or disconnect dataconnection and try again"
I dont have any dataconnections or anything on. It just keeps searching the network and doesnt find any.
The phone does find network when I put my orange simcard into it.
Any ideas what could be wrong ?
Thanks a million!
anyone have any idea ?
Even I am facing similar problem.
In mine case whenever I move to a roaming network or I try to use a local sim while I am in roaming; I am facing the same problem.
Any solution is highly appreciated.
Thanks
Yash

Hi, there I just received my XDA EXEC for UK, Im in USA.
I have Cingular Wireless(AT&T Wireless), and what I did was put the Sim card on the phone and the phone starts working, but I'm having 2 problems.
First my phone has the roaming signal all the time, I don't know if there is any way to modify that.
And the second and most important is that the phone has really low signal.
I want to know if someone can help me.
Thanks.

Hard reset the phone and choose Copoorate mode (the code is 0506). This will stop the roaming issue. Other modes load O2 customisation.
I already has my phone in corporate mode and still the roaming signal.
Thanks.

If in roaming then it would suggest that the phone has been setup with UK O2 as the default network. Have a look at Settings/connections perhaps you can change the defualt network to Cingular or try installating the Cingular CAB file from: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=787912&highlight=cingular+cab
I have no idea what I'm saying here, but try to lock it onto GSM instead of WCDMA and it should be better.
When trying to switch to manual network selection my wizard gives an error "Unable to read setting from the network...".
At the same time it is able to read the SMS gateway.
Swithching networks manually is really important when roaming because not all operators have GPRS roaming. However, the error is present in both - home network and roaming networks.
My intermediary solution is to plug the SIM to another phone, switch the network on it and then put the SIM back to Wizard.
My current hypothesis is that there is something wrong with my SIM, however my collegue with similar SIM has exactly the same problem. May be our carrier producer incompartible SIMs?
I have the latest Radio ROM as part of Qtek AKU2 update.
Does anyone else encounter this problem? Is there a solution?
Thanks in advance,
Ross
Dear friends
i have a unlocked HTC 8525 !! i am in brazil and can't get the sim card here working with my phone. i can see the sim menu and everything but the phone only says no service . i try'd to change the network under phone/menu/option
but i couldn't get it working , and the closest suppor for HTC is in Sao Paulo and im 600 miles away
Help me please
Hi DJFuscao,
I have an HTC Tytn that I regularly use in Brazil (Sao Paulo) since oct 2006.
I´m not sure if I will be really able to help you, but I´ll try to give you at least some information about my experience.
I believe that sometimes autodetect network does not work properly. You may try to change these settings:
- Settings-->(Personal Tab)-->Phone-->(Band tab)--> Select your Network type: change this to GSM
- Settings-->(Personal Tab)-->Phone-->(Band tab)--> Select your GSM/UMTS band: GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(2100)
I have also experienced some problems some months ago when VIVO activated their GSM network. It simply stopped working, kept searching but did not find TIM´s network.
What I have done then:
- I have changed from Automatic Network Selection to Manual (you will find this option on "Settings-->(Personal Tab)-->Phone-->(Network tab)--> Network Selection".
- then I tried to click on Find Network on the same screen
- I chose TIM from the list
It has not worked at the first atempt because there were some different options for TIM on the list but it has eventually worked.
Another thing I would check is if it works with any other GSM carrier from Brazil. If you can borrow a SIM from some friend this could also give you some clue.
You may also find some specific information about HTC 8525 phones in Brazil on the link below:

hi guys im new to htc,and have a strange problem,i have a 3 contract with a n95 8gb with unlimited internet the works,and my wife bought me this htc touch hd for xmas, its unlocked so i slapped my 3 sim in it only i cant get any signal .i can connect to the net via my sim but i cant make calls or send txts.when i put the sim in it automatically connected to h3g uk but theres no signal bars when i touch the icon it says no service,and when i go into settings and either automatically or manually select network a network error box appears saying cannot register on selected network.choosse another network,or disconnect your data and try again.ive tryed this to no avail and its thrashing my head.its possibly the best phone ive ever had and i cant use it.can somone please help
dont think you can use normal gsm functions on this phone with a three sim as three sims are different to normal USIMS.
i dont know the technicalities but i do know that three sims differ from other network's sims.
I have a unlocked Samsung Focus v1.3 with Mango update. I am a 3G SIM card (Airtel 3G).
Sometimes when I am trying to enable data connection, phone is refusing me to do that. The setting shows data connection ON, but 3G symbol on top does not appear.
This happens even on multiple retries and when signal strength is full. Using the same SIM card I am able to connect to internet using my older Nokia phone without any issue.
The only solution I have been able to find is to soft reset (restart) the phone. Then it is able to enable data connection. I also think that this issue appeared after I updated it to Mango. With stock NoDo update it was working fine (though I had this phone only for 2 weeks before updating to Mango).
Is anybody else also facing this issue?
yes i am having a similar issue with my focus, it is unlocked for use in the UK on o2 but when ever i turn my data on it says its connected i have the 3g symbol and everything but when i try and go on the internet it has not connection to resolve this problem i delete my apn and enter it again but that dose not work sometimes and it is really annoying
many thanks if you can help me
^^ Thanks for confirming that I am not the only one facing this issue. But still it is weird that only a few might be facing this issue.
I am still trying to find out the exact solution, so whenever I find it I will post it here.
APN settings? is the sim card for that device originally?or carrier specific"?

I have used correct APN settings for my Service Provider. Hence on a good day, I am able to connect to Internet. I have also confirmed the settings from CC.
But as I have described earlier, sometimes phone just doesn't turn on data connection. This happens without any specific reason. On other forums too people are reporting the same behaviour.

That has nothing to with problem I am facing. This setting for radio is for FM radio and not for mobile radio. You might face the issue again. Sorry but that's the truth!
did u try another sim card?
A friend with same data plan?
And another operator sim?
When i changed wifi to data it came to me, there was a app for that first it closes wifi then open data connection. For wifi again, first it closes data connection and opens wifi.
I got same problem. Using unlocked focus with airtel connection india. On a good day the phone will work with gprs/3g just fine. But occasionally connection drops and the phone won't reconnect. I have to manually restart the phone to connect to internet once again. Any solution for this? I guess people in US aren't facing such an issue..
I have the exact same problem. This problem arises only on DATA connections!
