just go into settings, and on the LAST selection, like "about galaxy tab" or something, there another selection "check updates" and click on any of them. It shuts off my WiFi.

This applies to me, too.

Me also. Is there a way to update the firmware when only having WiFi access, and no contract?
They shouldn't sell this thing to people for $600 without a contract if it can't be updated as needed.

T-Mobile UK / orange on CM7

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

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?

[SOLVED] No 3g after ICS

9020T with stock ICS -flashed yesterday.
But 3g doesnt work anymore??
Any ideas?

Same problem here. Based on my monitoring of the phone status, it doesn't connect to the 3G networks anymore just EDGE and UMTS.
I don't even know what it's supposed to look like on ICS when the network is 3G or if there' a live data connection. I think the network signal bars are supposed to turn blue. But they don't without wifi.
Upgraded to 4.0.3 from stock 2.3.6 on i9023.

I also upgraded from stock 2.3.6 on i9020T
Everything else is working great except for 3g..
I use a program called notification toggle to move from wifi to 3g and it just crashes if I press 3g.
I go into data settings instead and everything looks fine ...data is enabled etc.. but 3g icon never appears in the signal bars ,so cannot connect.
Anyone know how to fix this?

Anyone ?
I Need help getting the 3g working or will have to try and go back to 2.3.6

I had the same problem after going to ics from 2.3.4 and then to 2.3.6. go to network settings and just refresh or delete and renew the settings. it will scan and take like ten minutes. it will find tmo and att. pick tmo and you should see the mobile network work now. did for me. 3g and edge and all

Ok thanks
But can you explain that a bit better..step by step...
click this..click that etc...

I had to do a factory reset to got data working. 9020t

From the top of my head... If rooted
Download root explorer
Locate efs files....
Move the following files to root of SD card:
Nv.log
Nv_data.bin
Nv_data.bin.md5
Once ur done reboot and u should be ok
-Google Galaxy Tab

Also experiencing this. 9023
Factory reset = no dice.
Gonna try to narrow down the problem a bit. I flat out refuse to root my phone to fix an issue caused by an official OTA update.

Same opinion here regarding not rooting. Too bad the factory reset did not work for you, because it just did for me. A great relief that it did, too. Apparently the APN settings remained after the reset and it got 3g and data connection again even during the phone setup.

How did you do your reset?
Settings - backup & reset - factory data reset ?
or
bootup the device holding vol up power and do reset from there?

why dont you guys do what i said to do?
go to settings --> click more at the top --> click mobile networks --> click access point names --> opn the options menu and select reset to default.
now click on network operators in the mobile network settings menu --> allow it to search (can take a while)
here's where it takes a little fiddling. i actually selected ATT first so that it would change all the settings. then i selected tmobile afterwards. then it just connected to the mobile network without a hitch. i believe i rebooted but am not sure.

ok found it!
i9020XXKI1

Seems I am having the same exact issue, with that exact same baseband. Only I am running into it with CM9 Alfa 17.
Sounds like some files for the radio or something got left out.

Not sure if it's related but I can't get a signal either on my i9020a now. Flashing to a previous gingerbread rom doesn't bring it back either.

Flash kf1 radio best one so far

[Q] HD2 Nand Android Radio Issue

Hey all, today I unlocked a UK O2 HTC HD2 and I'm now using it with a T-Mobile SIM which is great - calls and texts are fine. However I cannot use my mobile data connection which (I think) is because I need another radio flashing. Is there any way of doing this through mAGLDR/cLK (as I don't have the original WP6.5 ROM and my laptop refuses to use the RUU to restore WP6.5 on my phone).
Also I'm not 100% certain that it's a radio issue as GPS, WiFi and other data connections work. I've downloaded T-Mobile's settings to use on the phone, too, which are currently installed.
I've searched for ages on this and I don't think another question like this exists, but if it does please just link me to it
Thanks in advance,
-Adam

Just going to check that out now. Thanks mate.
Update: Data is enabled. And my network operator is set to T-Mobile UK. Could it be another setting?
EDIT: Ok my phone just spontaneously changed its data symbol from R to H and I received an email! I guess that means my phone is fixed now. Thanks for the reply anyway and sorry for time wasting!

Lol, sometimes just opening a setting and then exiting "refreshes" the setting and android applies it. As long as you see that ther is an APN(which from your post was T-Mobile UK) then all should be well.

[Q] No 3g since latest update

Hey,
I updated my phone about 5 days ago to the latest 4.3 and since then I've lost my 3g connection. It has been there a bit but today it's completely gone and hasn't come back.
Tried turning it on/off, switching to airplane, changing from WDCMA to GSM and running in dafe mode. Nothing works.
Does anyone know what the issue is and how to solve it?
I should point out I'm not very tech savvy and don't know all the lingo so go easy on me
Thanks!

Post a screenshot of Settings > About Phone and scroll to the bottom. Is your phone stock or rooted?

Check your APN under mobile networks. Make sure you have an APN .
