Hi i just brought and HD2 and can not get on 3G and I know I am in the 3G area. I thought by flashing to froyo's build it will work, but I am still having the same problem. I checked and made sure it is not in 2g mode either.
anybody have an ideal on whatis going on?
A OS ROM flash/Android build wouldn't really change your 2G/3G connectivity... unless it has a radio packaged with it. (HD2 compatible Android builds do not come with radios)
I would suggest going to the Radio thread and trying a different one, see if that works better for you.
just make sure it's a x.x.50.x radio!!!!!
(2.12.50.02_2 is the latest... been working really well for me here in the greater Seattle area)
yeah I updated to the latest radio also, same one as you and still nothing
I had similar after flashing to a new ROM, turns out it was defaulting my "Data Connections" to off, which killed out my 3G. soft resets, etc didnt help, took me 2 days to figure it out and finally the guy at the tmobile store who had the exact same problem prior helped me out. Worth checkin if you have something similar.
^^^how do I go about doing this? Where is it under?
I don't care whether you delete this topic or not. It is, somewhat, development related. I'm just doing a new topic for this thing because, if I were to post this on a ROM thread, it would have become covered with 100 other posts within the hour, decreasing the chances of the developer reading it! My hope, with this thread, is that someone interested or someone who knows about this, sees it and does something about it! Please read first, and if you, the one who has the power to delete threads for whatever reason, consider it utterly useless and retarded, delete it.
I'm a new DHD user (switched over from the Desire). This issue was in Sense ROMs for the Desire, as well. The Desire S had this problem with stock GB, too.
In CM-based ROMs such as MIUI (which is what I'm currently using), you get an "Advanced" section under Wireless Networks. From there, you can choose the wi-fi channels (11, 13, 14). On a freshly flashed MIUI, no channel is selected. I have two wi-fi networks in my appartment (one is mine, one is from a neighbour). That second wi-fi network, from my neighbour... my phone does not see it (unless I choose 13 or 14 wi-fi channels).
Funny thing. That neighbour's wi-fi... it's set on channel #3. It's a MSI RG54SE II router, if that matters.
Now, on Sense ROMs, such as Android Revolution HD and RunnyDrOiD (the ones I have tried so far), you don't get the option to choose the channels. So... that RG54SE II is unseen by my phone.
Back when I was having the Desire... Only LeeDrOiD ROM had that "Advanced" section under Wireless Networks. Not sure if that's the case with his ROM for the DHD, as well...
So, this thing is not only for the DHD. It's also for the Desire, and the Desire S. My gilfriend has a DS, and until I convinced her to let me unleash her phone's lockers and flash something on it, she could only see 3 Wi-Fi`s (stock 2.3.3, that is), while I could connect to all 20 that were available in the zone.

Hope you get my point. Hope you know what I'm talking about. Hope I'm not the only one that noticed this!!!
If anyone has any idea on how to solve this... please tell me. I have tried LeeDrOiD's "Adhoc networking" (that was the only network-related addon I could find, so...) patch, but that didn't do the work. I don't know what will, since there isn't any addon for this... or I'm blind? Open my eyes, then - KINDLY, not with a banhammer.

This is not the answer you're looking for, but it's worth a mention. You should just ask your neighbor to use a recommended channel. I notice that you're outside of the U.S., where you are supposed to use channels 1, 5, 9 or 13 to prevent wi-fi networks from interfering with each other (within the U.S. you are supposed to use channels 1, 6 or 11). You can make up a story and tell your neighbor that his oddball channel 3 configuration (that he probably decided to use for no good reason) is causing interference with your own network, and you have the technical proof to back it up. From Wikipedia:
"There are 14 channels designated in the 2.4 GHz range spaced 5 MHz apart (with the exception of a 12 MHz spacing before Channel 14). As the protocol requires 25 MHz of channel separation, adjacent channels overlap and will interfere with each other. Consequently, using only channels 1, 6, 11 is recommended in the US to avoid interference. In the rest of the world, the four channels 1, 5, 9, 13 are recommended."
Maybe you can just get your neighbor to follow the rules and switch his network to channel 1, 5 or 9. Then every ROM that you use will have no problem connecting to his network and the problem is solved. I'm assuming you have his permission to use his network resources.
Both my Huawei and his MSI router are configured to channel 3. I put it to that, because there are other 10 networks within this area, and I thought... meh... perhaps they're not using the same channel, lol. Anyway, with the phone, on 14 channels, I only see 5 networks, including mine. With the laptop, I see about 11, so I believe this applies to whatever networks there may be outside, too...
The neighbour I'm talking about... I don't have his permission. I think it's one of those 50 year old couples who don't give a **** about what hardware the ISP installs in their home. Most older-than-45 people here, in my country, know nothing about Wi-Fi, and, since they don't even use it... I wouldn't be surprised if the people who own that MSI router don't even know it's there.
Anyway... the gateway, interface, whatever (192.168.1.1) is accessible, and the user/pass are not changed ("admin', that is). It ain't got a password, neither, obviously. So I could get in and change everything I wished regarding WLAN. Too bad it ain't got /n, but still... I'll try to change the channel even further, and try again with a Sense ROM.
Still, that doesn't fix the issue. Downtown, the most crowded place in the entire city... there are about 25 Wi-Fi networks around (at least that's what I can detect with my phone). My phone (CM-based ROM) can see them all. My girlfriend, with her stock ROM`ed Desire S, could only see 5 or 6. That is no longer the case now, since she's got MIUI, too. And I believe this is the issue with all Sense ROMs : you see 30% of the WLANs you'd see with a CM-based ROM...
I can't ask public stores : hey, your wi-fi... it's set to a channel that my phone just can't see, change it!

@Formhault - You risk Jail if you violate the neighbors privacy. It's like you found on the street a wallet full of money and you don't gave back to the injured person.
I posted a thread just like this before and it passed rather unseen. And un touched. Also I asked for a similar situation and had negative answer. But my issue is that I have a VIZIO router.
This is a rather new router and it gives me another option VIZIO HD. Which is more advance and speedier. I have a 12mb connection but I dont have full speed as I cant connect with this.
And a samsung galaxy can also a motorola atrix so I would like to know if someone knows if this can be modified.

Firstly, using a persons WiFi without permission is theft, regardless of whether it is locked or not. Does an open window in someone's house mean you can legally steal there belongings?
Secondly, this is not Development related in the slightest.
Thirdly, you want the XDA community to help you find a solution to break the law? You should search for an answer elsewhere. i.e. not XDA.

Hello all,
i'm sure i'm not the first to ask, yet i didn't find any threads about this.
my phone can't seem to connect to 5ghz wifi when the channel is a higher one (149-161). it doesn't even see the SSID. when I switch to the lower channels (36-48) I can see it and connect.
I would much rather fix this so i could use the higher channels where the signal is better overall.
any idea why this is hapenning? on my iphone 6 it works great when using channel 149.
I'm running 5.1.1 Fusion Rom rooted.
cheers!
Anybody knows ?
maybe it's a hardware problem?
i'm seeing this same behavior on SM-G900T (TMO S5) and other devices apparently due to missing country code and calibration files.
please see notes and upvote BUGBASH-2594 : 5ghz WiFi bands partially not seen as client and not available at all as hotspot
hopefully that helps bring together awareness of this widespread issue that seems to be easily overlooked (i mostly find myself using 2.4ghz networks anyway).
Hey everyone! I have a question about Wi-Fi. Is it possible to somehow include support for 5GHz? There were already questions on the forum, I know. But I did not find the exact answer. I would also like to know why 2.5 GHz does not work with channels above 11. Or do I have one like that? The problem is I have on the stock android 8-9. Now i use a custom COSP.
Change your phone 5ghz is hardware limited.
Hello everyone! I am trying to find out how to enable/disable certain bands. My company installs cell phone boosters for people that have poor signal, and i need to be able to select a single band at a time to do speed tests.
I know this is possible with Samsung devices, but was wondering if anyone found a way to lock to a single frequency.
This is possible with Samsung devices but unaware of any way to do this with a Oneplus 8. I think its even possible to do it on the tmobile version?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. (I am also rooted if that helps.)
Wow. I may be onto something. Anyone want to test this out?
**Disclaimer** Do it at your own risk.
I found this. Seems to let me change to whatever band I choose. But the only way I can seem to get back to "all bands" or "automatic" is by selecting all of the ones I use.
Or by typing *#*#4636#*#* and selecting the second from bottom
Download quickshortcutmaker from play store.
Look for: com.oneplus.engmode.bandmode
It was almost all the way down at the bottom for me. (My search doesn't seem to work)
I don't think this requires root or how I found it but it's working! (But, I am rooted, Android 11, stock room)
not sure who else could use this but I hope it helps someone!
Should all be unlocked from begin with, we should have access to all the bands as we're paying to access our networks not Oneplus
You must not have read the op.... He wanted to lock onto a single band to do a speed test for signal booster purposes. Your respknce was a waste of time.
Op, nice job on the work around for yourself
Good information and screen shots! cheers
