with android I can't manual select my provider and it's very important that i use roaming (my provider telfort uses a bigger network KPN and my phone has to use roaming for internet)
I'm living at the border so roaming is a little tricky, that's why I have to use manaul network selection
can it be done.
is this your problem, h**p:// forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7817459
I had that problem when I got back into android last night and found that within 5 min of searchin
if its not that what is does a message come up or what is / what isnt happening.
if you use google with as many as 3 words.
its on the top of the list.
and you can always set it manualy.
Looks like it is a different issue than I first thought, so apologies for the confusion
but is it the manual operator, Im only ever on one network so leave on automatic but just out of curiousity clicked search manual on my hd2 android and after 'searching' I get 'error when searching for networks' followed by 'No networks found'.
Cant seem to see this anywhere else and its no biggie to me (obviously is to OP) but It will be interesting to see if this is build issue and affects everyone or just some.
well i found the solution you mentioned and yes i can get into the apn list
but after searching for 2 days......I still haven't found a solution for my problem
I get the error:
"error while searching for networks"
with manual selection
to sum it up:
I have to roam for internet
I live at the border and with automatically selection it will connect to , for example BASE (belgium) (I'm in the Netherlands)
so my problem is that I can't manaul select my network!!
maybe I'm searching not good but I can't find it
btw. I had it with different android roms and different radio's

Please give me any advice on the problem with this very good but uncertain device.
After a period of my no activity with GSM net (1.5-2 hours) no one can reach me by phone. Just after i make any call (or send sms, make ussd request) and next 2 hours everything is ok, then i'm again out of reach. Signal indicator is ok, and I can make calls anytime i want, but people can't reach me (till i do any action in net).
I've tryed all ROMs i could find, including the latest one - no results.
Operator - North West GSM (Megafon Volga)
I hope the description of a problem is clear. Sorry if it is not.
Please help.
hi,
maybe changing the phone settings to manual helps.
Hi.
U mean Net Selection - automatic/manual ? I will try...
Btw, is there any possibility to set gsm net ping frequency in registry. Or may be there exist a program that can ping gsm net periodically, i think it should kill the problem (gprs pingers do not solve it, i've already tryed).
I remember that on my old Nokia were such a setings as net requests frequency...
Thank you.

make sure that your phone settings are correct: in the "band" tab, make sure your network type is set appropriately - if you have a umts (3G) subscription, set it to "wcdma" otherwise, choose "gsm".
I got my new Tytn and WiFi didn´t work at all. It didn't show any signal and was always saying "connecting..." but nothing happened. I talked to the T-Mobile hotline and we finally agreed that WiFi would be broken and I would need a replacement.
However, I played around a little longer and got it working. What I did, was the following (note that I use a german version, so I am doing my best to guess the english screen and menu names, but I am not sure if I name all options etc.. with the correct english term):
I went to the configuration ("Einstellungen") of my Tytn and to Tab "Connections" ("Verbindungen"). There, I opened "Network Cards" ("Netzwerkkarten"). Under tab "Wireless", there are plenty of preconfigured networks and I got the impression, that the Tytn spent a lot of time just scanning through these preconfigured, but not existing WANs. So I deleted all these networks by holding the pen on them for a few seconds and then selecting "remove setting".
After all WANs were deleted, I added a new one and called it the same way as my Router (Fritz.Box WLAN 7170) called it.
Once this was done, it immediately connected and I can walk around within my house and use Wifi without any problem. BTW: The signal strength is set to "medium".
Hope this helps some other people, too.
Regards...
Cool, thanks. I'll try when I get home tonight.
I did similar on my tmobile mda vario 2 in UK. It was preconfigured with quite a few conections, but had also added many from open access points I had passed on my travels (mainly peoples houses!) I removed all these. You are correct, once it looses a signal for a short period of time it appears to scroll through all of the connections in the list trying to find another access point to connect to.
Hi,
my GPRS connection is working, it connects without any problem but when i try to navigate with PIE then I can see the message "Opening" on the left lower corner but it just stays that way for a long time and the page never gets displayed. My e-mail works fine so that means i have GPRS connection and working. If i try navigating to a WAP site some pages get displayed and some other don't. If i connect via WiFi or via activesync then i can navigate without any problems. Based on my observations I suspect a problem with the MRU (Maximum receive Unit) of the TCPiP stack but i can not find on the registry where to change that.
Hope someone can help.
I used Tweak2K2 to set it in mine. Sorry I do not know the Reg setting.

I wonder whether your HTTP proxy port number is correct. I had same problem and I was using the advertised port number until I discovered there was another one that actually worked. I would suggest a port number but I'm O2 UK (it was `advertised as 80 but only actually worked on PIE with 8080)
Mike
You are not alone
Please check the following threads, both are related to our problem, unfortunely none of them gives a solution.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286449
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=287101
My GPRS connection doesn´t require an HTTP proxy server so Mike´s suggestion didn´t work for me. I contacted Movistar and they are not open to give support since I didn´t buy the device from them....
On the other hand, if somebody can provide the ROM reg settings and a brief instruction on how can be changed would be great
Hi Luiggi
Sorry you have not got it solved yet. I remembered your post and looked for it but did not find it - hoped you had a solution to offer - sadly not
Edit: I suppose you are certain about the proxy? I ask because mine will connect to GPRS just fine without it - BUT PIE does not unless it's set.
Mike
Maybe it is a Movistar problem
Interesting, so happens that my service provider is also Movistar; maybe they have done something different to their network settings. Any way, I was in the US recently and was able to use GPRS roaming although because the TyTN does not differentiates between GPRS and EDGE it could have been that it was using EDGE and that it why i could navigate using PIE.
The funny thing about this problem is that my e-mail works fine and my SPB whether also updates without problems, it is only the navigation with PIE that i have issues with. Based on my observations it seems to be that if the tcp packet is larger that a certain size it gets dropped by the tcp stack.
Not lucky so far
Hi Mike!
Movistar people told me that the don´t need proxy servers for the connections since they use Dynamic IP addresses (?). I´ve have tried a lot of different configurations but not luck so far, the comment posted above could be they key, now the big question is: What are the proper settings and how to modify the reg...?
Will reflashing the phone be the only solution?
Well looks like the options are narrowing down to reflashing the phone.... I'll give it a couple of days more to see if someone can give Us a hint on what to do.

I´m not sure about reflashing, actually I have two 8525 I paid to SIM unlock the 1st one so I still have the original ROM 1.34.505.1 and the symptoms are the same, I don´t know what ROM would be suitable to "solve" the problem in case this would be causing the partial lock.
New Finding
I´ve been trying a lot of things and I guess I´m close to the root cause. I strated from scratch with a hard reset and giving a soft reset before the 3 sec secreen of auto configuration, then I tried to set a connection in my ISP, I named it "The Internet" and when I hit the OK button I got a message saying that there was an existing connection setting under the same name!!! I couldn´t find such connection, so I´m pretty sure that the connection is hidden somewhere in the ROM and we need to disable it and create a new one or modify the reg to address a different connection consistent with our own network.... Any thoughts on this?

I mapped that one in Cingular, the MMS settings are self extracted from the extended ROM, if you want to get rid of it just do a hard reset and then a soft reset when the 3 sec message shows up, hope this can help you

I went thru all regs and I couldn´t find MRU or LCP (Link Control Protocol) settings, what disturbes me more is that I put my SIM in my 8125 and everything (IE. messenger, Gmail, Hotmail, etc.) works wonderful!! I think I´ll put on sale my 8525.......
More findings
I do have GPRS connection, no doubt about it. I install Tonaya Iper in my phone and the software gives the ability to trace the route from my phone to the destination, for instance The route to www.gmail.com (216.239.63.19)
is as follows (I set the time [email protected]):
1.- 10.15.14.78
2.- 10.2.4.20
3.- 10.2.4.134
4.- 200.36.174.81
5.- 200.39.31.42 (mx-mesr-rt1.telefonica-data.com.mx)
6.- 213.140.50.233 (So-2-3-1-grtmtyma2.red.telefonica-wholesale.net
7.- Request timed out
8.- 213.140.43.25
9.- 213.140.43.225
10.- 213.140.36.45
11.- 213.140.37.57
12.- 64.233.123
13.- 66.249.94.8
14.- 72.14.233.123
15.- 71.14.233.123
16.- 216.239.63.19 (bp-in-f19.google.com)
When I try to trace the communication with a 1 second timeout the phone stalls for a while in server 213.140.50.233 and makes the traceability extremely slow.
My conclusión is that when the communication reach the server 213.140.50.233 this cause a delay and my phone can not continue to the final destination probably because the pre set delay in the application exceeds its timout parameter.
Any suggestions?

Today I use a SIM from the other mexican cell company (telcel), I just enter APN, user name and password and in a blink my 8525 flew thru PIE, hotmail, MS messenger, Gmail and everything!!! Conclusion:Movistar system or set ups are causing all the connection problems, I´ve spent hours in the phone with their wonderful engineers and none of them has been able to explain why Movistar can´t give a decent service to 8525 users.
Using the Traceroute feature of IPer I notice a very long delay to ping the Movistar router located in Madrid (213.140.50.233), there´s where I think the problem is.
You are right Luiggi...!
One of the guys here at the office also has a Dopod 838pro (I'm ussing a HTC TyTN) but with Telcel instead of Movistar...the push e-mail capabilities and the internet surf are really very good ...but with the GPRS of Movistar I recive my e-mails very delayed in the phone and also still unable to sing in to MSN messenger.
Thanks to your post now I know the trut; I was really thinking that maybe the TyTN was the problem (I mean, the HTC branded because the Dopod was functioning just very fine) I was even thinking in return it...
regards
Hummm I suspected that....
Well I think we have (a winner) an answer (partially), I will go back to Movistar and complain, I may not get any results from it but I really have no options since because of my work I travel a lot and the roaming pricing I get with them is way better that the other alternative. The funny thing about this issue is that other HTC phones do not have it. A co worker has a Wizard and he can navigate with PIE. Maybe it would be interesting to investigate what could be the difference or why other phones can navigate and Tytn can't.
Wizard works great!

I do my living buying and selling phones and I guess next time (tomorrow) I get a Wizard for sale I´ll spend enough time going thru the registry and routes to compare it with the Hermes. Would you guys mind to run IPer and check if the afore mentioned router or server with the problem is common for all of us?
I already wrote a not very nice letter to Movistar, probably they are shocked because normally their tournaround time for an answer is less than 24hrs and this time is taking longer. Next letter I´m going to be addressing the Director or whoever is the top dog.
How do I get/ run the aplication mentioned???
I would like to help to figure out what the problem is or help you guys to get to a solution...so, where can I find and how do I use the software luiggi is mentioning??
Is it free or with a trial version???

Hello guys, im new to the forum and this type of phone so pardon me if i come across ignorant i can assure you this is not through arrogance, i have searched the website for 2days and could not find any advice on this matter and get this message 99% of the time! "Connection error while attempting to download weather data, retry?" (keeps happening no matter how many times i retry)
I have tried hard reset, soft reset even changed my network thinking the data reception was bad but this still seems to be the case where ever i am positioned with my phone.
This is an awesome phone, but an incredibly consuming one that can be frustrating at times! without the guys on this forum I dont think I would have lasted one day!
Any help would be much appreciated!

i have the same problem and already do that but nothing, always the connection error too!
just a question, you have problem with the connection only when you are trying to download weather update?
Hi,
I get this issue depending on my location. At my home I will get this message, but when I am at my office in Birmingham, it would update the my location weather no problems.
I think that if the place you are trying to get weather data for, is not on the database, then it will give an error. Because the software is not intelligent enough to find the 'nearest' place to your location.
The other problem can be caused by your telecoms, and how your 3g data is routed. As other have mentioned, this might be fixed with the proxy setting.
Oh, and I think you need to be receiving a 3g signal for this to work, I've never seen it work over GPRS...
To be honest, I've disabled the auto updating feature of this now. Because if I really needed to know about the weather of 'my location', I can always take a peek outside!
Sorry that you can't find any information on this. I'm surprised as I think it could possibly be the 2nd most asked question on here behind the old issues with slow SMS delivery. Here a summary of my understanding.
A local Cell tower is used to provide My Location data. Not all locations can be automatically updated Using My Location but most (can be automatically updated by adding the location to a list. A data connection is required and you need to enable Google location services.
It is known behavour for the My Location to all of a sudden start working when you are out and about as your phone connects to a different cell tower in a different location. I for one cannot get My Location dataq in Cheltenham but when I go to Gloucester I can get around 4 different "locations" on my way to work.
There was talk that part of this might be related to multiple locations having the same name and this causing problems with My Location selecting the correct data from the Accuweather database.
Hope this helps a bit althoughn I doubt we will get a fix.
I cannot currently remember if people with different service providers have different behavours with this service.
I got the same problem after using the Sim Contacts Fix... Found out that the stupid update changed the connection and told it to use a proxy server! Check if ur phone did the same thing as mine!
I can get my updates no probs without 3g, have no 3g coverage at the house at all, but what I have found is that when the weather would not work properly, and was giving the wrong location, I logged onto google maps, got a gps fix, and now the weather gives a spot on location, a very small village, that i would doubt being in any database.
I reckon weather pulls the location from the gps fix in googlemaps...
Just a thought.........

I think that is a slightly differemt issue caussing a similar effect. This issue has been around since the firat HD2 was released and mostly related to MyLocation successfully updating when in one area and not in another, with the same connectivity settings.
Regards.
to OP...
I too have failed to find a proper resolution to the "connection error...".
I know it can work on my phone, as I've seen it work perfectly around Devon & Bournemouth, both indoors and outdoors.
IMHO, it's definately a problem with Accuweather's database, regardless of connection type.
I used Duttys Disable Current Location cab to switch the pointless thing off.
Maybe one day someone will find a way to make it work for everywhere.

Hi,
Im interested. How do you get your weather updates? Are you using Wifi or do you believe that it is all done via GPS? Now a silly question, sorry. Do you now have your village as a defined location or is it only "My Location" that is automatically updating?

At home, im using wifi, thelocation im referring to is the one that shows on the home screen after update, the nearest defined location that can be searched for is over 60 miles away in Plymouth.

well i have the same thing here...happens to me as well, i was thinking may be it is acuweather and our current location. Having said that i have not changed any thing in my 3 g connections. 50% of the tome works. so i am not really fussed about it
To the OP (and anyone), please also report this issue to HTC self via their website. If they know about this issue, maybe they can make a fix for it .
I had same problem and tried these:
Switched to airplane mode and wifi on. Tried update and successfully updated.
Switched to phone on wifi off. Tried update and not updated.
Removed all cities. Tried update for my location and successfully updated.
Added some cities. Tried update and not updated.
Weird
For me the weather location is working generally fine, even if often it doesn't recognize a town (smaller ones) and instead shows "My Location" instead of a name. The update is only working when I have EDGE or 3G coverage (or WiFi), not when only GPRS.
What is very strange for me is, that when not on WiFi (then all works fine), i.e. when on the phone network, it updates well some cities, and some won't (the ones which won't are two of the cities I added in the beginning to the list, i.e. Geneva and Nuremberg). All other cities I added work well for the updated. I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that I added them at a specific moment. When I deleted these cities and put them back in the list it won't help. I wonder if you can reset the weather program without making a hard reset, in order to see if it would help.
Fixed
Settings>connections>connections>advanced>select networks>edit (your gsm operator gprs/3g settings)>edit>next>next>advanced>servers

This happened to me when I removed JVH3 Weather City Editor.
once I reinstalled it, my error has gone away.

Have had the HD2 for a few weeks now, with no problems with weather. Went on holiday, came back, and getting the error as per this thread. Strangely it seemed like I was getting the update, then getting the error afterwards.
Spoke to my provider (T-mobile) who were next to useless (well that's unfair, I guess they suggested a lot of things but none worked).
Took out all cities from the application and updated - worked fine (and this was over GPRS as one of things T-mobile had me do was switch Band under phone settings (All Settings/Personal/Phone/GSM/UTMS Services/Band/Get Settings)).
Could it be as simple as an error in the weather data for ANY city causing the problem - not just your location? My location at home always seems to be detected fine...
Hi everyone
I'm from Indonesia and just bought Huawei X5 as replacement of my 1 year old Galaxy 5. To my disappointment this new phone has bad signal reception compared to Galaxy 5. At the same area with the same SIM Card the signal is not stable and rarely gets 4 bar as Galaxy 5 does. What is worse is that in any browser I use it constantly gives "Network Problem" error. Not that I set the APN wrong. I can still open google sites and some other and Market, Email and Facebook is also working. But most of the websites I try to open results in error. For instance when I google something, 95% of the search result cannot be opened. "Network Problem" is says in red letters. I have tried most of android browsers with no luck. It never happens with my now-missed-but-already-sold Galaxy 5
I have also flashed my phone with latest MIUI ROM and now Stock ROM 162 but the problem persists.
My suspicion is that somehow the phone is having trouble utilizing network paralelly between browser and other applications using the network. But this is only a wild guess from someone who has no knowledge at all on how this stuff works.
Any comments would be much appreciated, and please bear my language.
What about if you are in an area that you have known good coverage? Also, have you tried different radio settings to see if that makes any difference?

Thank you for the reply. Googling this xda forum I learn that Huawei X5 is not the only android phone facing such network error problem. While no solution found on those threads I accidentally solved it myself. Google DNS, that is the cure. Though I have no idea how it works, I install and run Set DNS, choosing Google DNS and voila! All network problem gone!
But why I must use Google DNS while with the same Simcard I never had to use it on Galaxy 5 is still a mystery to me.
But once again, thank you for the comment.
