Having a problem with a Telstra HD2 model.
With a Telstra SIM in the phone, I can make and receive calls. When I insert a Vodafone SIM into it, I cannot make or receive calls. Call hangs up straight away.
Device is not network locked as HTC phones are not locked with Telstra. Bars display in task bar.
Tried it with Windows 6.5 (factory default) and Android custom ROM. Currently on custom ROM.
Any thoughts?
I had a similiar problem a few years ago and all i had to do was get a new sim card. I was told i had damaged my sim card some how but i was able to save the contacts, transfer them over to the new sim T-mobile gave me and I have not had another problem since.
If you have access to another phone try and insert both sim cards you have in the other phone. If you have problems in the other phone with the sim card thats not working you can safely say its the sim card thats not working correctly and not a phone issue.
Thanks for the reply Craze.
My SIM's do work as I use my Telstra SIM (that works in the HD2) in my old Nokia and my Vodafone on my Galaxy Nexus Prime.
So on the HD2, my Telstra SIM works where I'm able to receive and make calls and my Vodafone is the opposite.
Could it be the phone? I'm hoping that it is so that I can fix it.
Could it be the network providers? If so, then I'll call them which I've already done but they couldn't give me an answer as to why my Voda SIM does that in the HD2.

Since some months I'm in Egypt for business reasons. I don't use my hermes very often here, because I'm having some duty phones. More or less I'm playing around with it, every now and then I'm turning the radio on to look for text messages from good old Austria.
I'm using an Austrian ONE Sim card and roam with Vodafone Egypt. In the place where I'm leaving I have 100% net.
Some days ago - I was testing S2U2 - I noticed that I can not call my hermes while the Austrian Sim card is inserted. I tried it with two different duty phones with Egyptian Sim cards, I tried it with another phone with an Austrian Sim card in it, its always the same: "The number you've dialed is incomplete". Of course the number is not incomplete. I can make phone calls from my hermes with the Austrian Sim card in it, but I can not call it. BTW: I tried it with UMTS on and off, same result. Its working fine if I insert an Egyptian Sim card, so apparently its a roaming problem.
Its not that important, because I don't use roaming with my hermes (too expensive, thank you very much ONE *ggg*), but I'm curious whats going on. Guess its a problem caused by my home provider?
Any ideas?
Hi there.
I have a friend who has an X1. He is reporting that the X1 is working with his O2 sim card and working on Vodafone however it isnt working with his Latvian sim card (in the UK) (i.e. Tele2 and LMT). Are there any settings you need to change in order to enable roaming? Is it possible for a phone to be country-locked?
Thanks,
Lawrence
It might be the phone is locked..then again it might not be.
What does he see when he puts in the card? How long do you wait while it searches for a signal? (Sometimes when I'm roaming it takes a few moments -in egypt I think I waited 2 minutes - it might take longer for Latvia to register for one or other reason).
thanks for your quick reply!
I dont think it is locked because it works on both O2 and Vodafone fine. I bought the phone from vodafone and all of their phones come unlocked.
its more likely that the phone isnt using the correct setting for the service provider... usually when the phone detect a new sim it will ask you if you want to change your settings... your friend may have missed it and didnt change the setting so it didnt work
Roaming is enabled by the origin network, not by the phone.
There is a chance that some of the UK networks don't allow those SIMs to roam on their network, but you would need all 4 for them not to work.
another reason could be too old incompatible sim card
people have from time to time reported rather old sim cards being
incompatible and solved it by getting newer sim card from their operator
Hi, ive just got an hd2 locked to t-mobile UK and when i put the sim in it dosent pick up and signal, also i have tried it in my htc elf and that dosent pick any think up! please help.
Now am I getting this right?
The sim is not working in 2 different phones, correct?
If so - then are the sims compatable? (unlocked phones or the same sim as brand, ie orange phones and orange sim)
If so replace the sim if not - then think about it a bit
Hi I have been using my htc hd2 for over a year, I unlocked it in the begginning and have been using ATT on it til now. I have recently switched over to tmobiles network but for some reason my htc hd2 won't connect with the tmobile sim card now. I am running an andriod nand.
Does the phone still work with the ATT sim? if so its not the sim card carrier/reader on the phone
Where how did you unlock it?
Just changing to Android does not unlock it, normaly its a cost to you to buy the code £15 to £20 in the UK
So if you only added Android its not unlocked
I'm sure its unlock. As it is branded as a tmobile phone and I purchased an unlock code for it awhile back and I entered it while I was on windows 6.5 and it allowed me to use the ATT sim card til now when I switch back to tmobile it won't let me. My att sim card still works with the phone just not the tmobile
Sound like one the sim:
Does the Tmobile sim, does it work in a different cell?
Does a different sim work in the phone (not including the ATT sim)
I'm pretty sure its not the sim card, I've tried multiple sim cards from friends and the ones from ATT works but for some reason the tmobiles ones don't work I have no clue. Strangest thing too is that I flashed stock windows mobile 6.5 and a new radio rom and the phone connected to the network and i was able to make a call but 2 minutes later "no service" again....
Its only the tmobile sim card too.
Dear all,
I have an issue with my Omnia 7 and need your help. My phone is Unlocked T-Mobile Brand. I can use SIM cards of several company except the one I use regularly. When I insert this SIM, phone is SIM locked and phone function is not working at all. When I press on phone tile, it brings me to home screen. SIM card from other providers work fine. So it is strange to me.
Could you help me? I want it to work with this SIM.
Thanks
That sounds very strange. Surely it must be something to do with that particular SIM card if your phone is SIM unlocked and other providers are working?
