Hello!
I spent last week in France and I had a lot of problems with GSM signal. Phone sometimes can't connect to operater. When I looked in settings menu I saw only ''searching'' and nothing happend. Then I just click on ''Find network'' and after some second everything was OK.
For me is this a big problem because I must be reachable all the time.
What could be wrong and how could I solve the problem?
Bye,
Borut
I'm on radio 1.38.00.11, and I have the same problem too... sometimes it does not even get any signal after trying to "find network". When I disable the phone and enable it again (flight mode and back) it will get full signal, I'm at the same spot for the whole process so its not the reception of the location.
Any idea?
I sent also an E-mail to HTC support team and still waiting an answer.
I got this answer:
Good Afternoon,
?
Unfortunately this can happen sometimes when roaming, especially if the SIM from your network does not have the preferred roaming partners programmed into it.
?
What tends to happen is that as the phone is switched on in the new country, it will automatically search for all networks in range and then systematically attempt to register and connect with all of them one by one.? Sometimes, depending on the speed with which the networks respond to the handset's requests to register, this can take a few minutes, especially if there are many networks in range.? It can also happen as the signal from one network disappears and the phone must begin this process again.
?
One thing I would suggest would be to contact your Operator and ask them for the name of the preferred roaming partner of the country you are travelling to and upon arrival in the country, you can manually select the network to connect to.? this should then tell the phone to keep with that network until it loses signal, but it should automatically return when the signal is found again.
?

Good evening all,
Hopefully someone can answer my question.
Sunday I took a road trip. I noticed that my phone had no service. In the past when I left the t-mobile area my g1 would automatically connect to whatever network was available and the roam indicator would show up.
I tried to manually connect to at&t through the network operators menu. My phone said "Your sim card does not allow a connection to this network.".
I have a rooted g1 running the official t-mobile 1.6 rom. Is this a problem with my rom or my phone or the network. I've tried searching and I haven't found much of a solution yet.
I am in the usa. A lot of the google search results I got were from Europe.
might not have been a ROM issue; just a bug...
Did you reboot or force radio off then back on?
I have the same problem and yet no luck to resolve this.

I did reboot and enable/disable airplane mode.
Today I switched to the Cyanogen Rom. I'll see if that fixes the problem. I tried to manually switch to at&t, but it still says that the sim card does not allow that. I am in the t-mobile coverage area; t-mobile probably does not allow the use of a different network when their network is available. I'd like to test it out to see if roaming works now, but I'm not taking a drive out to the countryside just to see how my phone works.
I guess this one might be hard for me to test because I am rarely out the the t-mobile coverage area.
Hi
since last week i got this weird bug where when i activate 3G connection i loose all my Reception, buy only activating Data it works fine, but 3G just shuts down the Reseption.
anyone else get this problem? or did anyone know a solution?
thanks in advance
how on earth do u enable and disable 3g?
In the setting menu under enable Data usage!
i think its only available on t-mobile handsets
On my unlocked Omnia it's under Cellular on the Settings menu (which I swear said something else before I had the antenna repaired!).
i own a samsung galaxy s2 ordered from uk,
everything working fine except for this serious issue that i have been trying to resolve till now.
i have a monthly internet subscription from my carrier and it always been working fine on my iphone ( i mean here connecting through the 3g network ). but in the S2 .. i have to use Edge to be able to access the internet ( the mobile network mode must be set to GSM only ). whenever i switch the network mode to GSM\WCDMA auto , the 3g icon appears but when it tries to connect to internet, the phone automatically switch to Flight mode and i loose the network signal. and this happens all the time. till now i am only able to connect to the internet by switching the mobile network mode to GSM only which only uses Edge network .
i have tried every possible thing to resolve this issue but nothing worked for me. please help
What country are you in? What carrier are you on? What bands do they use?
location location location.
Where are you from?
And what frequency does operators in your region operate.
just curious, have you tried hard/factory reset?
i am from saudi arabia and i am using Mobily network.
mobily is using HSDPA network as well as Edge network.
i did a software reset and still the same issue.
phone information:
Baseband version I9100XXKDH
Kernel version 2.6.35.7--I9100XWKDD-CL161513
Build Number GINGERBREAD.XWKDD
crazy idea - is there any blocking going on in SA or with that carrier? Have you used another not carrier supplied smartphone successfully on that network?
I have been always using their 3g network on my iphone. And still there network only on edge connection on the s2. What i have noticed is that the saved apn sometimes shows up and sometimes disappears

Hi, very similar issue here.
For this four days since I have got my GS2 everything was just fine. The data connection and 3G speed was great. Yesterday, all of the sudden all got crappy. Could not display any web pages. It starting to display page but after few seconds pop-up window appear which say "Data connectivity problem. The server failed to communicate. Try again later"
Interesting that my gmail, market, xda app working fine as normal.
I'm in Ireland on O2 now.
Baseband version I9100XXKDH
Kernel version 2.6.35.7--I9100XWKDD-CL161513
Build Number GINGERBREAD.XWKDD
Can someone help to solve the problem, please. Is it possible that something with the hardware is wrong? Broken?
I'll perform the factory reset and will let you know.
i just managed to flash my device with the latest EXE1 dated May 3.
and i am still facing the exact same problem.

Maybe we should ask for replacement...
I have same issue, and for Ihrrob, your other application are working fine because what i noticed on my mobile that 3G & 2G connection is there but not permenant that's why WIFI hotspot always disconnect and VOIP applications are not working.

You are right the 3G/2G connection is there but not permanent.
If I press the Internet icon the home page, which is 'Google' appears (sometimes) immediately. I think this is because the page is very light. If I try to open a regular page it loads 1/3 of the content or nothing.
i just hope it is a software bug not a hardware problem
Type on the dialpad *#*#4636#*#* and force the phone to HSDPA only on the dropdown menu. This is a hidden menu on the phone.
Isn't this carrier related?

Unfortunately not.
I have spoke to the rep in the store. They reset all settings for me but it didn't help.
Just to double check if he wasn't wrong I've put the sim card in to my N900 and all data worked fine.
Bad, bad...

I'm on Mobily network in Riyadh, and 2G/3G is working fine for me. I stay on 2G most of the time to save battery, but have tested 3G and got around 3mbps.
I have the same Baseband, Kernel and Build number (rooted)
Are you using "Market Enabeler"? It can change your APN settings, and you need to restore the provider setting.
just rooted my device.
still same weird issue.
issue again: simply whenever my device tries to connect to H+ , the device automatically enters flight mode and automatically disable flight mode so that the signal bars come back without H+ and when i check back the saved APN i see nothing there ( thought i was there before ). and this strange behavior disappears when i switch the mode from GSM/WCDMA auto TO GSM only .. after i do this the device connects regularly to Edge network and i can browse the net.
so basicaly for me i will be only able to use the device on Edge instead of HSDPA or 3G.
im really hoping for help from here because i don't think i will find any help outside of this expert community.
regards
try to make it on obligatory 3G (WCDMA only) and check if the problem still there ..
still same problem juffo
i have noticed that another post are poping up talking about almost the same issure.
i hope a new firmware will fix this
Hello,
I got a new Lg G2 D802 a week ago and have some srtange issues with it. Although my phone seems connected to my GSM provider about once a day i notice i cannot receive/make calls. Only thing to fix it is by rebooting the phone. It tried going in to airplane mode but it doent help and GSM signal still appears to be full while airplane mode is on. Basically its like i have no gsm signal but phone says its full.
This happens while i m sitting in my office with full GSM signal, another colleague next to me with the same device and provider never had this problem.
Has anyone else had this problem? Do you thing its a hardware or software issue? I tried searching for it but didn't find anything relevant.
Thanks in advance.
I also noticed in Settings the "Mobile Networks" option is grayed out when this happens
