Help - my Prophet won't go roaming overseas

Hi there,
I live in Sydney Australia and have just travelled to Singapore on business. Unfortunately my JAMin refuses to connect to any of the local networks.
On previous trips, my O2 Xda II mini worked just fine. This is the first time I've travelled overseas with my new JAMin, and it just won't work.
I've looked at all of the Network settings and nothing seems to be wrong. I can even manually scan for the local networks in Singapore but cannot connect to any of them.
I upgraded my radio rom a few weeks back to the latest version (2.47.21) - do you think this could have caused the problem? I've just downgraded the radio rom (firstly to 2.20.21 and then 2.30.21) to see if that helps but still no go at all.
HELP! I can't be off the air for the entire trip.
p.s. My prophet is a G3 device and I used the correct ROMS. The phone works perfectly in Australia (Vodafone).

Have you already ruled out a Vodafone screw up or problems in the international connection? Usually if you can see the networks then your phone is working, if you can't attach to them then either signalling is not reaching your home network or your Home Location Register configuration doesn't allow roaming.
Try to contact Vodafone in Australia and report the problem. I doubt it is something with your phone.

Yes, you were correct. It was Vodafone's fault.
I've travelled with the same SIM for the past few years without problem so I assumed that my Radio ROM upgrade was probably at fault. When I called Vodafone Australia today they confirmed that when we changed some account details a few months back, their computer defaulted all of our phones back to "no roaming". Very unhelpful indeed! I'd now like the 2.5 hours sleep I lost last night trying to get the friggin' thing working!!!!
Thanks for your response.

About using the 3G in Canada for Fido

Hi guys i have looked through alot of threads and i couldn't find the info. Basically i bought a HTC HD2 from Hong Kong back into Jan. Recently i have apply a data plan which i really want to use but i've tried every setting from either my service provider(fido) or from the people online but i still can't get it to work. I called HTC a couple times and i've told taht there's no way around since they said the GPRS bandwidth doesnt match the on in North america. Does anyone knows if it's true? And is there another way to take around? my 1 last question would be does changing the ROM, firmware, radio would help? Thank you so much for every input from you guys!

From what I understand, it is true. The Touch HD2 you bought physically cannot use the 3g band in any network in Canada. I dont' think this is a software limitation, but a hardware limitation so there is nothing a ROM upgrade can do.

[Q] No data service

You need to add your APN. Under "cellular" in the settings there's a button at the bottom of the page to do this (apn settings are dependent on your region and carrier). Once you do this, you'll get regular data service

Thanks i tried this in a couple of minute and let you know. My carrier is tmobile, and i think my region is the same as north america, i live on puerto rico.

HD2 stolen and urgent advice needed

Hi
Just had my HD2 stolen this afternoon.
I will be on flight to Hong Kong tomorrow evening.
The phone was bought sim free in UK and not insured so can't claim for replacement.
Anyway, I just want to know:
1. I live in London and is there any shops that I can buy a new sim free one from tomorrow (Monday)?
2. If 1 is not possible and I bought one from Hong Kong, would it be an Asia HD2 version or there is just one version globally? If it is Asia HD2, does it have English language and can you still use programs like CHT Home Tab/Editor, BsB Tweaks it?
3. I use the phone to receive my emails. Is there any chance the login password could be retrieved by whoever stolen it?
4. Can whoever stolen my phone still receive my emails even I have barred the SIM card?
Thanks!

If you used Microsoft My Phone app on your HD2 you can use it to possibly locate your phone. Just go to myphone.microsoft.com and log in with your Windows Live or MSN account wich ever one hou used for yhe Microsoft My Phome app.
Ic you by another HD2 there in Hong Kong it will more than likely be the Asian model HD2 and I think it does have english as one of the languages. You would also be abale to use all the apps you mentioned in your post. Just be careful if you do purchase one there as it is a lot of clone/fake HD2 being sold there and on the internet from there. But wih you have had a real HD2 you know how it should look and all. The fake ones look different.
Who ever stole your phone shouldn't be abale to get your passwords a.d if you have barred tbe sim card they will not be abale to use your sim card to make calls and such. They will have to sim unlock it to even be able to put another sim card in it to use with another carrier.

just adding on to what T-Macgnolia mentioned above. if you have the original box of your hd2 then it would have the imei. you can call your network provider and have the phone blocked completely. though of course it doesn't guarantee that you'll get your phone back, but at least the jerk who took it can't use the phone. it'll be a media player and a gps but as far as the phone app, it'll be blocked. normally your network carrier will pass on your imei to other network providers for blocking (at least i assume this'll be what happens as it's what's done here in australia).
- as mentioned above, just make sure you buy a genuine hd2 and not the clone. if you happen to stumble across one with a front cam or 2 sim card capabilities, it's a clone.
- definitely your emails are safe once your sim card is blocked
cheers

Even if it doesn't have english, you just enter in bootloader and flash any custom or unlocked location stock rom

Will try that. Hopefully Vodafone would do it even though it was not their branded HD2.

Just got off the phone with Vodafone - they said they couldn't do it.
Oh well, just have to be more careful in the future. This is the 1st time that I had a phone stolen since my Motorola MicroTAC II in the early 90's!

They can't do it because (I'm assuming) you didn't buy it from them. Ring o2 and they'll probably be able to block the IMEI and blacklist it. That's assuming you bought it from them too obviously.

just my 2 cents: sorry as i forgot to mention this bit
before i got my hd2 i was using a touch pro 2. it was stolen in my previous office (yeah the jerk works in the same place as i did). anyway, i called up my network provider (telstra) and they also said they couldn't lock my phone. however, i googled locking the imei and came up with yet another customer service line that was independent to telstra. so i reported my imei and it took a few seconds for the guy on the phone to say "ah, there it is." he then confirmed it was now locked.
played around with google and found this site:

not sure if this applies to you mate as you're in london while i'm in australia. but hope that helps.
cheers

Get one from a big reputable stores like Fortress, Broadway, Chung Yuan, etc. Make sure they have the QTS logo. Emphasis you want an English edition. The box should read "HTC HD2 T8585 (WWE)".
However, I don't think you would get international warranty.
I supposed you have already changed your passwords. Even then, he can still read the mails that are already downloaded.
HD2 in HK are using Asia/Europe bands:
3G: 900/2100
2G: 850/900/1800/1900
Should be the same as in UK.

Well, I went to lots of shops and finally found one that sold it - most other shops said the HD2 was unpopular and been discontinued for awhile. It was an Asian model and I asked if they could change it to English which they did. Had it for nearly 2 weeks now with no problems and all for £240 which was a great deal.
Incidentely I looked a copy version from China - put my SIM card in and it jammed...

[Q] Not registered on network

Hi there!
I bought a Galaxy Note III in Thailand, unlocked, and I am trying to use it in India, Vodafone. Data is working perfectly but when I try to register it on network is not possible. I already went to the company and replaced the sim card. Same problem. When I was in Thailand it worked perfectly, even I tried in Nepal and it was working 100% too, so phone is ok. Somewhere I read there is a new system to avoid bringing phones form one country to another. Some help would be apreciate. Thanks in advance. Be happy

maybe you should try another network sim card or go into the settings and search for networks and then hit automatic

Then maybe you both need to flash your own regions rom?

Check your imei number, does it different from under the battery? Your phone probably been injected with superimei which did not work with gsm mode (it work in wcdma). You need to find a repair shop which has the SPT BOX to repair your gsm connection.
