I just bought an hd from a store in canada but used (demo)
cid=htc_001 0
1.14.405.0 (21010) wwe
10/20/08
radio 1.09.25.14
prot = 52.49a.25.26u
blac100 32M spl-1.14.olinex. microp-blackstone (led)v6
cannot seem to register on the gsm network.
fido gsm is 850-1900.
I know g3 wont work but gsm should and is not.
try changing the radio, check the wiki, might end up being a bit of trial & error. You could also try going back to a stock rom first.
thanks i may try the radio.
I think my rom is a stock one?
No one here using fido?
I was able to register onto the network when hard reseting with the sim in the phone...
took a long time to get a signal...
signal was there, gprs icon was on... but wsn't able to receive calls or make calls.
When calling my cell, i got the answering system.
how to be sure it is not locked?
Still cannot make or receive calls
flashed with RUU_BlackStone_HKCSL_WWE_1[1].19.831.0_Radio_52.49a.25.26_1.09.25.14_Ship.exe. Still same radio as before.
now registers fast in network
gets signal and Edge icons but cannot make or receive calls - no line...
could it be it is not unlocked?
They told me it was...
how to be sure?
changed the sim card to a newer one made after 3G introduction and it now works.

But only works when the network icon is G. It doesn't when icon is E.
Here in Canada the phone's 3G capabilities are not used.
When i am somewhere where the network icon is E, i got a signal icon but no line. I cannot make or receive calls
Anyone has seen this.
Phone band and network are in Automatic... if i try to asiggn a band and network manually...same problem.
it honestly sounds to me like something is damaged with the phone, i think you should see if there is an HTC partner in Canada, and check to see if maybe the device is under warranty and can be repaired.
Im in Canada with rogers and have no problem making or receiving calls with my hd. 3G dont seem to work though
well it seems it is a known issue
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=476139&highlight=edge+gprs+drop
mine has also a SN beginning with HT845 as many faulty devices have.
My problems is i have olinex 1.14 on it
I have a Touch HD too and works fine with Fido here in Canada.
I used the factory rom for about a week then used the custom rom.
have tried several roms and they all worked on my HD with the fido network.
the only thing is i have the roaming icon on all the time, but luckily i dont get charged roaming once i'm in my local area.
Dont know why you are having problems with yours, but like someone said i'm also guessing there may be something wroong with your handset.
try taking it to a repair shop (HTC authorized at least) and see what they also say.
best of luck
HTC Touch HD with Fido
I have also bought touch HD and having same issue, I can dial and recieve calls while I am outside but when I am any where inside I can not recieve or call any one from HD, I think touch hd that I have has 900 frequency that is why I am having issue, Fido and Rogers works good on 850 frequency. Does any one know how can I solve this problem
As I said before I have touch HD with rogers network. I have no problem recieving or making calls even indoors. I bought mine at pacific mall a year ago
Only HTC Touch HD T8285 will work on Fido/Rogers/Bell/Telus 3G network.
I think you have T8282 and this is the reason that you cannot get 3G or H icon on the top bar.
I have T8285 and it works fine on Fido 3G network It show 3G and H on the top bar.
no matter you do (like flashing radio or rom) it will not chnage the UMTS signal. It is hardware related.
Hi to everyone, I have serious problems with 3g data connection, I get only 100kb testing with mobilespeedtest.com.
Movistar company says that all works fine and I have tested my Sim with a Huawei modem and works fine and fast, but with the phone runs slooooooow as a turtle.
I have 3 Tilt 2 phones and all of them have the same problem.
ATT and Movistar uses the same band for 3g
My last phone was the Fuze and it woks fine with the Sim.
I´ve tried with thejh20001´s Tilt 2 data speed fix but nothing happens.
Can anybody help me?
So I got this phone from my friend asking to help him because quite recently his phone would start dropping calls and losing signal. He was running completely stock on Android 2.2 He asked if I could take a look and try to get it working. So after doing some researching in the sub I found the rooting app and decided to put CM7.1 on his phone. Everything works great now considering he couldn't get a call to go through but it only has edge and that's only after waiting a couple minutes after boot. There isn't an option in CM7 to choose WCDMA but it does have the check box for 2g only. Anyway calls go through fine now as well as texts but god Edge is so slow. WiFi works fine as well. Anyway What on earth do I do to get 3g working?
I have also done the Defy Baseband switcher, everything but T-Mobile 3.4.2 -107-9 works. The only thing I can think of doing next is having him switch out his sim card through T-mobile. If someone else has an idea I would love to hear it cause I am just spinning my wheels.
Also I did install CM7.2 and it had the option for WCDMA which forced the 3g icon but it never would do anything about data for it. It would just sit at a webpage and timeout. Anyway back at CM7.1 and waiting to see what happens.
Thanks ahead of time for the help guys.
Anyone with any other ideas or something simple I am missing?
I have a very similar problem. I have installed WhiteRabbitEddtion 1.5 for Defy+ MB526 (based on CM7.2 I think). When it tries for operate on 3G, it works for a while, then just loses the network. It looks like the receiver goes deaf or something. If I select 2G only, it seems to work fine. But then restricted to EDGE data rates -- bummer.
My network operator is Telstra (Australia) - 850/2100 MHz.
Hello everyone, I'm experiencing a terrible situation with my OPT - O2 2.1.2.
I used to rely on Intelli3G (an Xposed module that switches mobile radio to 2G when screen is off to save battery and then reverts back to LTE on screen on).
This worked perfectly with OPO but I noticed strange disconnections of the mobile data with no possibility to switch on again without rebooting.
I've studied what happens when the phone is asked to switch to 2G Only:
with the *#*#4636#*#* menu I noticed that the network type says "unknown,unknown" and there's nothing I can do to get things working again until a reboot.
In this situation I see that there's signal, triangle is full, but I'm unreachable.
If I keep my radio to WCDMA preferred (with screen off) or LTE/GSM (while using the phone) everything works fine (so far).
My carrier is Vodafone IT, I already changed my SIM card for I thought I had a faulty one.
Anyone else is experiencing these disconnections?

I'm having similar issues. I can only connect with one SIM at a time. One SIM card only connects via 2G. I think I need to go buy a new phone. I've even restored back to old versions without luck. I've flashed the modem too. No luck. This is bad for someone on the road like me. I'm missing critical calls. I'm back to using two phones as a work around.
Hi everyone !
Lately I went to a place were 3G/4G was not reachable and it is there that i noticed that my brand new Moto X play couldn't get any connection in 2G (GSM) mode even if the place was fully covered with 2G/EDGE (GSM)...
In 3G/4G there is no problem only on 2G (GSM).
I tried in the settings to put 2G (GSM) only and I can not get any signal even now that i'm back home ....
I tried a factory reset from the recovery it did not work :crying: Do you have an idea on how to solve that problem ?
I also tried to use the sim card with another phone in 2G (GSM) and there it works fine with maximal signal ....
Thanks ! :laugh:
Hallo,
I did a test and I got the same "problem".
Turned 4G into 3G...no problem.Still connected..
Turned 3G into 2G....no signal.
Turned 4G into 2G..no signal.
You can try to switch networktype in *#*#4636#*#*
No time for me now....I will try it later on the day.

I just tried it and turned the networktype to "GSM only" then i got no signal just like before. If i try to use another type like CDMA/GSM it connects to 3G and works but still the problem with the GSM/2G....
Hi guys. I'm not experiencing this problem on my XT1562. switching between bands is fine and working on my device. What kernels are you guys using?
I'm using the stock kernel, I just flashed the OTA (6.0.1) from the stock recovery
Same Problem, more information
For my Moto Play X I have a very similar problem:
4G works, but 3G and 2G do not. If I'm connected to a 4G network, I see that there is reception and can use all data transfer functions. But when I want to do a call, I get a timeout. When I'm in a place where there is no 4G network available, I see that I don't have signal - but the network is shown in the list of available networks for manual selection.
As I have a dual SIM variant (stock ROM, not a custom modification or "upgrade") my second SIM does work like a charm. I tried now and swapped the SIMs - and it seems that just the SIM1 slot is having those problems. The same SIM also works perfectly in the second SIM slot.
I also tries to reset just the network settings (an option provided by the stock ROM) but this didn't change anything.
Next step I'm currently working on is doing a factory reset - will take a while until backup and restore will enable me to see the real result. I'll keep you up to date....
UPDATE: factory reset didn't change anything - will send phone to repair now. :,-(
