LOW SIGNAL RECEPTION

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.

Problem with automatic gsm nework settings

Hi to all,
i live on the border between switzerland and france, which means that if i don't control roaming i am dead!
on the QTEK 9100 (rom 2.8.7.1) i can set my preferred networks (SET NETWORKS) in automatic mode, but every time i soft reset this information is lost. does the same happen to you? do you understand why?

yes often happens to me and dont know why. these settings should be stored with the network provider not on the handset so maybe its a network problem!?

As far as I know they should be stored on the SIM. There is a problem with some devices either ignoring the preferred networks list entirely, or loosing the settings (as they are SIM-locked by the provider so the saving to SIm fails silently).
Check with your SIM/Network provider - they will be able to tell you if you can change the settings or not. On some networks, and with some SIMS you just can't.

Touch HD and AT&T EDGE - Cannot Connect

Hello, Has anyone been able to connect to AT&T Edge on their Touch HD? I can't seem to connect to it. I tried the below settings and it still wouldn't connect. I have the PPC $30 unlimited data plan from AT&T. Please help!
1. Start > Settings > Connections > Connections
2. Manage existing connections
3. If you see SingTel already in there, click edit. Otherwise, click New
4. Put in a new name (I just used "att")
5. Access point name: wap.cingular. Hit Next
6. User name: [email protected], password: cingular1, no domain
7. Hit Finish

I'm on ATT with my Touch HD and I have a big "E" on my status bar... I assume that means I'm on the edge network

I have edge on mine also. I connect using the media net @ $15 (unlimited data) a month. As att doesn't know what phone I have

Try to take your SIM card out, boot the phone, pull the battery out with the phone still on, then replace your SIM card & boot up again. 2nd, under MediaNet Settings, Proxy Tab, make sure that 1st box is checked only. The only other thing I can see different, CAPITALIZE the Username. Instead of "[email protected]" do "[email protected]" I don't know if that matters or not. Mine works fine & this is what I have. Good luck

i'm having the same problem with my touch hd ....new to at&t but it worked fine with my tmobile sim card .....only thing i can think of is cuz its a 3g sim card ????

why would you have singtel ?!??! my guess is when you first booted up the phone with your at&t sim card, you rushed through the sim/connection setup process, which is semi automatic. at some step during that process, you need to select the correct carrier from a drop down list. ALL carriers in that list will work.. with phone/celluar connection. but the data connect only works with your own, doesn't matter if you change the settings in a wrong provider afterwards. so my suggestions is. either you can keep on digging through the settings, and may be you will find the correct setting. or you can go to settings->connections-> delete all the connections, and reinsert your sim card and let the auto process take over and select the correct provider.

I had the same issue when I first received my phone as the connection setup wizard incorrectly setup AT&T. I deleted the settings and created a new "My ISP" with all the settings above. Then of course in "network management" make sure that the top box "Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using:" select "My ISP"

i jus got my htc touch hd 2day but i cannt connect to the internet... i have the blackberry bold data plan... does that work or i have to change my data plan....

"No Service"

I just bought a fido sim card and I get the msg: "cannot register on this network. choose another network, or disconnect your data connection and try again" when i try to manually connect to the network. I have using this phone with at least two sim cards back in my outcry and i bought it independently from my previous network from an eshop in Ireland..
Any thoughts? Could be the ROM and radio installed?

maybe you just need simunlock, to get it go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Blackstone#SIM_Unlocking

I have tried to unlock the sim but the text file doesnt contain any 8-digit number.. So i assumed that this is not the problem..

changing the sim does not change anything in your system settings so maybe you need to adjust some settings to get it working. go to phone settings and look at the band and network settings. once you did that your sim should be able to register with the network, then run the connection wizard to set up your 3g and mms settings.
some settings are also stored on the sim card itself (including call barring, call waiting, sms service center...). eventually you should have a look into that as well.
if it isn't in the settings, you should post more information on your device. what rom/radio rom/spl are you running?

I have already played around with the band settings but nothing. I also have run the network wizard several times, but nothing either..
My ROM is 1.59.23148 SL7.1 WWE and the radio 1.13.25.24

I flashed the official rom:RUU_BlackStone_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.1_Radio_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship
and when I try to set the network type to GSM (from auto selection) or/and band to 850/1900 I get the msg: "Warning: Unable to change the GSM/UMTS Band, Please try again later."

[Q] Manual operator selection on RAZR M (unlocked for GSM)

Really strange case:
I got a RAZR M that I hacked to work with US GSM carriers using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2166542
I am using my corporate ATnT card with it.
I am currently in roaming (Russia first, now Kazakhstan). Only GSM/UMTS networks here.
I have another simcard with me which is from Russian operator (Beeline). This network is present in Kazakhstan, however simcard is Russian, so in Kazakhstan this Beeline simcard is also in roaming.
Status:
On ATnT card, my RAZR wont connect properly to local cellphone networks. To explain better - it will occasionally connect to one of local operators (KCELL, MCC/MNC 40102), but it takes A LONG time to connect, easily disconnects, and it is very unreliable and erratic.
Moreover, in Mobile Network Settings menu there is NO OPTION to select operator (i do have GSM/UMTS mode enabled, not global).
On BeeLine card, my RAZR happily connects to any of chosen networks, AND operator selection option is available in Mobile Network settings.
I have another phone in my pocket - old Nokia S40 based. This one works perfectly with Beeline simcard. With ATnT simcard it wont automatically connect to a network, but manual operator selection dialog is accessible, and I can select any network and connect to it.
So, for some reason, with ATnT simcard in my RAZR, mobile networks settings menu disbles (completely removes!) operator selection dialog.
Any way to get around this? I have scraped around every possible search criteria, but I cant find any way to force that menu item to appear!
However, I accidentally stumbled upon a weird workaround:
I put Beeline card in
Manually select operator (Beeline)
Turn off the phone
Put in ATnT simcard
Turn the phone on
In this case on startup phone throws in notification (from motorola phone app) saying "selected preferred network not available".
If i click that notification, it takes me directly to network scanning menu, happily displays available networks and allows me to connect. From that point on, it stays fixed to the network I chose.
This means that this is not a problem of simcard or radio or ROM directly. It is some weird trigger built into ROM that reacts to ATnT simcard and removes "operator selection" option from setting.
Any idea how to force Operator Selection option to appear, or invoke it otherwise? Or maybe solve the issue alltogether? My workaround is really inconvenient.
