sorry if this has been discussed. its been hard to search b/c the search engine continues to delete "3" from my searches.
basically, i was wondering if people had any issue with 3 sim cards working in the telstra hd2?
my friend has got several hd2 phones from telstra and is offering to sell me one. he assures me the phone is unlocked as well.
we tried plugging my 3 sim card into his telstra hd2 and for some reason i wasn't getting any reception. tried a vodaphone sim and it worked.
i currently have an omnia and know how to change all the mms, internet etc settings but is there something i need to do with the telstra hd2's setting to find 3's 3g network for voice calls?
thanks for any help you guys can provide me.
Technically there shouldn't be any issues with reception. Your friend might have locked his phone to WCDMA 850MHz though, which is a band that only Telstra transmits on. Check his baseband setting.

that is what i was thinking as well, the question is now:
how do i check his basband settings? unfortunately i don't have the phone on my now, but is it is pretty straight forward? i.e. going into settings -> baseband etc?
Open the Comm Manager by tapping the notification area and then on the network reception button. Tap on "Phone" then its on the bottom- "Band"

I have a Telstra HD2, that I bought a week ago, and am using on 3.
The phone is unlocked, and should auto setup when powered up first time with your 3 SIM card in it.
I used it a few days with stock rom, then flashed to another.
A few things to do.
Probably best to do a hard reset of phone, with SIM in, and let it reconfigure and start. (to hard reset, hold down the VOL UP and VOL DOWN buttons while turning on, and follow the instructions)
When all done, set locale, time, etc
Need to set the voicemail number (333)
Need to change connections to use PLANET 3, and not MOBILE INTERNET
Planet 3 homepage on the mobile should be HTTP://THREE.NET.AU (no WWW)
As it uses 850 when in country, it will roam on data on the Next G network (I beleive), and would be referred to by 3 (if they had it) as a MEGA MOBILE (tho you would want a BIG bank balance if ya gonna data roam on Telstra)
I am in Perth, and no probs with it with 3

sweet. thanks.
i actually now think the issue was that i was putting the sim card into the phone incorrectly.
i just got it and am trying to figure this phone out now.
do you recommend any roms for me to flash?

Just open the back case and softreset to get it back to normal.
On 3 with a Telstra HD2 also. Works perfectly normal, but I flashed out of the Telstra ROM - running Miri16 atm, works fantastic
One thing with three.net.au is that it doesn't recognise the HD2 in some places, hence I have wordsmith's Opera Personality Switcher to mimic an iPhone.

Hi Ali+htcHD2,
I believe that you have your 'network settings' configured to WCDMA only.
Go into your Comm Manager > Phone Settings > Menu > Netowrk Selection > Band > Select your Network type > Auto
Do this for both drop down menu's on that page, and then hit ok.
This should fix your problem!

what i did was pop in my sim card then the auto configuration loaded up. After that I had to restart the phone then I was good to go.
Thank you... mine doesn't seem to auto load the settings... I wonder what gives?
I actually had to call to give the my imei details then i was up and away.
it detected my settings the att guy said user/pass wasnt used anymore blanked that out but the rest of the settings were fine
you need to go to start/settings/phone/network
click on find network and that should start the auto config
Same here...
Just slid in my Sim card, turn the X1i on..
Pop show up asking to setup for AT&T...
Do you have the "Generic UK" rom??
Stuart
mine also auto configured when i first put my sim card in. i have an x1a. i found out that my internet connection wouldnt work when i powered down my phone. i had to re configure my networks settings again. now i dont power my phone down when i want to turn off my phone. i just use the communication manager to turn off the phone.
any one else notice that... that is if they power down the phone using the button, that after turning back on, the internet isnt working anymore (onboard internet or my bluetooth dun for tethering doesnt work after powering down unless i re auto configure my phone network settings).
No problem with powering my X1i down at all......
Can connect to both wap and isp access points without a problem..

Calling all Aussies. I'm a newb, and have successfully rooted my NextG (unlocked) Widlfire, and then flashed Wildpuzzle ROM. I ordered a new NextG SIM to replace my old 2G SIM and I can make calls okay but no data over NextG. I've got a data pack as part of my plan- anyone know if I need to flash anything else (a radio update perhaps?) to support NextG. I've looked in my APN config and tried all the options without success. Still says I don't have internet access. Wifi is working just fine. What to try before I ring dreaded Tel$tra support fools??

If you made a nandroid backup (which of course you did ) I would be tempted to revert back to the stock ROM and check everything works fine with that ROM and if not then phone the support guys... just in case there is a problem with the custom ROM. Once you know that the stock ROM works with your data plan you can try other ROMs and if there are problems you know it is not your provider.

Yes I did a nandroid backup. As I have my phone just set up nice now, I assume I do another nandroid backup first (and backup my SD contents). Do I need to worry about the EXT partition? Also when I restore the stock ROM I assume I will then lose root access?

Thanks for confirming it should work. I'm not really sure if I have set up the APN correctly. There are 4 Telstra profiles as follows: 1 = Telstra 3G Payby Time (telstra.pcpack), 2 = Telstra Internet (telstra.wap), 3 = Telstra w/Portal (telstra.internet) and 4 = Telstra MMS (telstra.mms).
I've tried all these without success. I also tried using the website for Telstra mobile setup. It detects my phone as a HTC Buzz, but when I choose internet settings it wants me to set up the APN manually as follows:
On touch screen Select APN and Using key pad enter Telstra.internet.
On touch screen Select Username and Using key pad enter "".
On touch screen Select Password and Using key pad enter "".
Scroll down on touch screen select Authentication type and select Normal.
Now press Menu key and on touch screen select Save menu option.
I can do everything except the last step "Authentication Type" I don't have any option for 'Normal'- I only see None, PAP, CHAP, PAP or CHAP.
Unfortunately I've tried all these without success. Would you mind posting your APN settings (PM me if you prefer)
Thanks
NextG works fine with WildPuzzle.
Are you in an area that actually has NextG coverage?
What are your APN settings in the phone?
Have you enabled data in the wireless & network settings?
An important point to note is that there is a setting in the phone which will automatically use Wi-Fi if available - so you need to turn it off (or disable Wi-Fi) or move out of range of your network to check 3G coverage.
i have the wildpuzzle rom, and am on telstra, the settings on the web work for me with authenticationtype;none,
Never mind- problem traced to Tel$tra- they had a block still in place on my data usage (something I asked for on my 2G service years ago). Never occurred to me the block would still apply after deliberately calling Tel$tra to purchase a 3G sim with data pack to replace my old 2G sim- specifically so "I could have internet access". Also strange that the Tel$tra sales person didn't notice the block still in place, nor did the Tel$tra support engineer looking into why I had no 3G service. It just occurred to me that it might be the problem and when I asked they said 'Oh yeah' you are right.
Lucky I realised this fact, otherwise Tel$tra would've been real happy to keep billing me for data that never got used! Well my expectations have been met by Tel$tra once again. It's a real shame we have no choice down here in Tasmania- otherwise I'd be with another carrier!
It's alll working good now. Thanks every1 for your help.
Just wondering if anyone using the latest Cm7 is having problems regarding the auto network switching from T-Mobile to orange and back,using the cm suggested radio. Thanx
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
No problems here. Infact, with the latest radio, At home I have switched from a poor T-Mobile reception to a decent "Orange - T-Mobile" one.
What radio u using? Does go back to T-Mobile easily?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I had problems too. Had to stop phone switching and stay on orange..
All ok here (both original radio and as per my sig).
Been using it on CM7 since day one without any issues whatsoever. What exactly are problems you are having?
Regards.
When it switch to orange it takes long time to go back to T-Mobile .
I can be driving and stays on orange until I manually change back to T-Mobile. Or sometimes it need a reboot.
If stay on orange I get no data, just calling.

Have you tried selecting the Data whilst roaming option? Works for me and I get data on "both" networks.
Also, try selecting T-Mobile as the Default network (to help it go back to T-Mobile)
All found under settings menu.
No problems here. I'm on T-Mobile. Sometimes flicks over to 'T-Mobile Orange', but I don't lose data. Make sure you have both 'Data roaming' and 'National data roaming' enabled (Settings>Wireless & network settings>Mobile networks).
Same here, no issues at all but you need to make sure data roaming is allowed, the transition is seamless and to be honest I rarely notice that it's even changed networks

Am on orange myself, and really come to hate the network since tmob and orange merged! Not onlyinternet, but also at times no one can call me. My phone says 3-4 bars, but orange somehow, at times, dont let anyone get thru me.
My complaints went nowhere, and waiting for my contract to finish to leave them!
Ok what i done is select manually either GSM ONLY or Orange - T-Mob. I've realised that manually selecting GSM on both instances (orange or orng-tmob) keep me 'alive' and people can call me...
Got the same issues with stock, several other custom roms/radio. For my case, its orange network that became crap (used to be perfect before, and used to enjoy a strong and steady 'H')...
try them, also call orange EACH AND EVERYTIME you experiencing issues. and also make sure they record ur complaints on their system(am goin to ask for a discount on my line later)!
all the best hope that it helps u ...

funny you should say that, my wifes iPhone on Orange has the same issue, even seems to swap to weak t-mob signal instead of full strength Orange, had to kill the auto selecting network to fix it. Now I'm on t-mobile and find the network share a boon!

stupid question , how do i make the default network?
Hello,
Hoping someone may be able to help me
So this morning I lost the ability to make voice calls and use mobile data on my LG V20 (H990DS variant - totally stock). In the top right-hand corner where it shows the mobile network strength I have an empty box with an X in the top corner. Everything else on the phone is working hunky dory. Strange as the phone is stock and this didn't happen after an update, etc. Obviously it could be a hardware failure but I'd like to rule out it being a software problem as I really quite like the phone!
The phone knows a SIM card is installed as it knows the IMEI, APN settings etc. However it just won't connect to a network. I've checked the settings and the service state is set to "radio off" and the mobile network state is "disconnected" which makes sense given I can't get onto a mobile network.
Question is how do I turn the radio back on? I've tried what I think is the obvious stuff:
1) Removed the battery, left off for a couple of mins and rebooted (hoping it will then rescan and find the network) - no change
2) Factory reset - no change
Given I have the H990DS variant do I have an options? I say that as I thought this variant wasn't particular friendly in terms of flashing, ROMS, etc.
I'm a n00b but can follow instructions so if anyone has ANY advice I'd appreciate it!
Thanks muchly in advance.

Sounds like a hardware failure
Sent from my LG-H910 using XDA Labs
It could indeed be a hardware failure but I find it odd that it can read the SIM (knows the IMEI, APN settings, the number, etc) and I seem to recall when I first got the phone I had to jump through some hurdles to get the SIM to work.
Is there no way to toggle the radio on/off? I've tried *#*#4636 ... but it won't give me access to the phone information section to reset the radio here ...
did you find a fix?
Hello All.
This may sound like an easy problem to solve and a part of me hopes it is. but im fairly well versed in android and has me baffled.
Phone runs beautifully 870DS. When i leave WiFi, the swith to mobile data takes for ever and then remains super fickle and intermittent. I sometimes do not have any data moving whatsoever (offline dinosaur in chrome level) When i connect to wifi again, all is fine, instantly.
I have full signal (full bars).
Mobile data on.
Switch to mobile data on.
The correct network registered & the correct APN for that network is set.
I have it set to GSM/WCDMA/ LTE auto
I have tried setting RAT set to every possible combo and it still continues!
I read somewhere it could be caused by radio initiation, so i went in *#*#4636#*#* to run a ping test but "phone information" throws up an error "This application does not work on this device"
Im 95% certain it is unlocked because i I bought the phone in another country and just popped my new sim straight in without hassle.
The mobile data issues started almost immediately. Now im stumped as what to do.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated and rewarded with beer :good:
THANKS!!!

Thanks. I will try that and trial run it over the next few days. The issue also occurs randomly while out on LTE or 3G. I will take my phone out to check google or whatsapp and nothing will send. So as your suggestion may be a work around, i doubt it will be a solve.
Will let you know how it goes

go to settings, system, about phone, hardware info and check the model number.
For example I have LG-H870 (European bands, single SIM model).
I see you have dual sim so probably model H870DS and this should have enough bands to work well in Europe and Asia. Check here:

Thanks for that. Yes according to this https://www.frequencycheck.com/carr...0ds-g6-dual-sim-td-lte/mtn-group-south-africa
I do have the correct bands. Could a carrier lock only one of the slots rendering it single sim in effect? The one sim works perfectly, second sim, no dice
Sorry for bumping an old thread.
Gf is having a similar issue on her phone; long story short, it happens that sometimes, after being connected to Wi-Fi and turing it off, it takes ages for her to get a mobile data connection, despite having full signal.
I had her replace the SIM, as I've seen similar problems (intermittent data connection, phone appears connected but no Internet available, etc.) with a SIM card that was about to go bad; it didn't help. Next step would be a full phone reset.
@deathcells : did you find the cause of your issue?
@fagentu.xda
No unfortunately not. I just deal with it. Extremely frustrating standing in the shop trying to pay without internet...
I tried the settings and force options to no avail.
I tried using both sim cards (from different providers) in both slots for months and no combination ever worked for me. I have yet to figure out if i bought a dudd phone or if a work around exists. Please let me know what you find out! Thanks and best of luck
Have the same issue with mine now. It started to go bad a few weeks ago... Tried everything. Changed SIM card, factory reset, etc... and nothing will change.
I'd say that the phone is just faulty. As I'm still under the warranty I'm in contact with LG to find out about a possible fix or phone replacement. I'll try to keep you posted.
Have you guys find a solution for this? I cant do anything. Does flashing kdz to andriod 9 pie helps?
