Hi,
I bought a Droid Pro in the US, unlocked it and I am now using it in Switzerland with my local Swisscom GSM SIM.
I can't send nor receive MMS.
I have setup APNs correctly for internet (works) and for mms. When I look at the message details on the MMS I try to send, I see "Cause code: National access coverage not available". I have tried with Handcent and ChompSMS, but still doesn't work as I guess they rely on native messaging app to send MMS. Unfortunately CompSMS doesn't support sending MMS through their network.
Any ideas on this could be fixed? Any workaround?
Thanks
Happy Holidays
Fred
Make sure you entered the settings exactly and try again. If you are using a GSM or HSPA network you should disable global mode and put the phone into GSM/UMTS mode only.
@Class: thank you for your response. I confirm the Network Mode is set to GSM/UMTS and that the APN parameters are correct for Swisscom.
What is interesting is that in settings->About Phone->Status->My phone number I see the US phone number that I got when the phone was activated with a Verizon prepaid plan.
Anybody is able to send/receive MMS on GSM, with or without prior US activation on Verizon?
Thanks

I also bought from the US and activated, and unlocked in Kuwait on a Kuwaiti SIM card. I confirm not having any data connection whatsoever! I've defined the APN settings correctly (works on a Samsung Spica & A Motorola Defy) with no luck.
Could you please check for me (*#*#4636#*#* --> Phone Info --> Menu --> Select radio band) what are the radio bands available for you to choose from?
I'm also on Swisscom and my MMS doesn't work either.
Did you set up two APN's, one for GPRS and one for MMS?
What happens if you send a MMS to yourself? I just get the SMS from Swisscom, that i received a MMS and i should look it up in the internet.
@rafeee2: I also see "USA Band", but if I click on it I loose connectivity to Swisscom and have to do factory reset to re-connect...
@ThiloH: I can't even send MMS. I get "National access coverage not available", both before and after factory reset. I tried factory reset as I thought the MMS problem could be related to the fact that my phone was initially activated on Verizon.
I heard on another forum that flashing with the newly released SBF solved the issue to one guy. If I flash, will I need to re-activate via Verizon?
My understanding is that you don't need to re-activate unless you want to use the phone in the US with Verizon/CDMA. I can still use my unlocked phone on GSM with my Swisscom SIM after a factory reset. I guess that flashing with the new SBF will have the same effect.

i can confirm that, i flashed yesterday with the SBF-File and the Verizon-Activation showed up, but i could skip it and it worked after it.
OK so I SBFd yesterday. Is it normal to have all you contacts, apps & widgets intact afterwards? The only thing that changed was that the network mode changes from GSM/UMTS to Global, and still no data.
As far as i know, the data you have on the SD-Card doesn't get removed when flashing.

You've already SBFed, what did you find after the phone restarted? What I'm saying is that EVERYTHING was intact, as if nothing has happened at ALL.
I did a factory reset before SBF, but after it it was like fresh out of the box.
Hmmm.. So we're still stuck here then. I think that unless the "select radio" menu shows other bands, we won't get data.
mmmmh. I also have only "USA Band" listed in there but when I click it stops working here in Europe and I need to factory reset. So I guess the hardware capabilities of the phone are different from what you can select in this test application.
What do you see in the "GSM disconnects" section of *#*#4636#*#* --> Phone Info ?

It's always DcActivatingState this or DcActivatingState that, and after some time it turns into:
DcInactiveState disconnected with last try at XX:XX fail because Unknown Data Error
What's an unknown data error supposed to be!
I just got my Droid Pro and can receive MMSes here in Australia, but can't send. I get either the National access coverage not available or service not activated messages.
It happens on both Telstra and Virgin. I can receive MMSes on both networks, just can't send.
I tried sending a short text message as an MMS and that won't go through either, so it isn't a size problem. Flight mode on/off doesn't help, and the phone is already in UMTS mode only with wifi off.
Has anyone found a solution?

Disable data with any software (such as disable data), and then you can recive your mms, then you can enable data...

I recently exchanged my o2 HD7 for a Desire HD locked to 3, i had the phone unlocked and everything was amazing!
2 Days ago the phone came up with a message 'limited service' and 'Emergency calls only' on the lock screen and i cannot get the phone to connect to my network at all.
So far, Ive checked both covers on the back ensuring the pins connect properly for the aerial and there is no damage to either panel.
Hard reset did nothing to help, it booted straight up with the same limited service message.
Ive searched here and google for anyone else with the problem but i cant find anything of any help.
o2 have told me they cant anything other than sent it to repair to get a quote for fixing it...
What i dont get is that the phone can still make emergency calls yet it cannot connect to any of the networks.
Under Menu > Settings > Wireless and Networks > Mobile Networks > Network Operators > Search Networks, I can see a list of all the networks including o2 UK 3G and o2 UK, when i press to connect to any of them i get the message 'Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network'
I have tried my SIM card in another phone and it works perfectly, ive tried another o2 SIM and a Vodafone SIM in the Desire HD and they dont work either so i know its a problem with the phone.
The phone is not rooted, has a stock 3 branded rom and there are no available updates for the phone.
Ive had the IMEI number checked and the phone is not blocked (o2 customer service did this for me).
Some info on the phone:
Model number: HTC Desire HD A9191
Android Version: 2.2
Baseband Version: 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_m
Kernal Version: 2.6.32.21-gf3f553d
[email protected] #1
Thu Oct 28 13:24:11 CST 2010
Build Number:1.37.771.3 CL290190 release-keys
Software Number: 1.37.771.3
Browser Version: Webkit 3.1
When i dial *#*#4636#*#* i get a load more information on the phone, some i think might be relevant are:
Signal Strength -85 dBm 14asu
WCDMA Preferred is selected
Ciphearing is ON
As far as i know the phone hasn't been cooked and has the original 3 branded ROM... Is there a chance the guys who unlocked my phone did something to the software?
If anyone can help me i would really appreciate it! i cant afford to take it for repair
I had the same problem with a so called new HD phone out the box.I phoned HTC they said the only option was a repair or replacement so i sent mine back for a replacement.
Ill have to give them a call wen i get home and see what they say.
It must be a problem with something stopping the connection though, like i said i can see a list of available network operators.
Anyone think a better radio could work? would this stop HTC from repairing it though?
Something that might be worth noting is that i cannot swich the phone to GSM only.
In both the *#*#4636#*#* > phone information > set preferred network type & Menu > settings > wireless and networks > mobile networks > network mode, i cannot make any changes, no matter what i select i cant change it, it always stays on WCDMA preferred for *#*#4636#*#* and GSM / WCDMA auto for the menu in 'network mode'
If i turn off the radio in *#*#4636#*#* menu, if i try to change the preferred network type, i can choose any but no matter what mode i pick it changes to GSM auto (PRL) and i cant choose anything else. but when i turn radio back on it automatically changes to WCDMA preferred
ive figured out that if i turn off the phone and remove the sim, reboot and enter into *#*#4636#*#* i can change the settings mentioned above, change the mode no problem, turn the phone off and put the sim back in and the setting stays (but once the sim is in i cant change the setting from what i set without a sim in). ive tried switching to GSM only but still getting limited service so far, ill try every mode if i have to. Going to go to the shop where it was unlocked now as well. I will keep posting updates in here as id imagin itl be helpfull to someone else at some point.
Anyone any suggestions?
Sounds like it has been blacklisted. I wouldn't trust o2 to give you the correct information. That behaviour is typical with blacklisted devices. Maybe HTC will fix it. Goid luck.

I believe its a stolen phone.
I went back to the shop that unlocked it and we tried and o2 sim, vodafone, t mobile and 3 and non of them worked. We tried a virgin sim and it worked, but thats the last network to be blocked on a blacklisted phone.
Going go to back to the shop i bought it from tomorrow, the best give me a replacement of the same phone or im just going to go to the police.
Turns out the phone was blocked by 3 for no payment on the contract it was taken out on. watch out when buying a second hand phone even from retail stores! ive lost £25 unlocking the phone but the retailer (cex) have been very helpful and are swapping it like for like with another DHD and lent me a desire until my new DHD is in stock!
I've been having this problem for a few days now. Whenever I try to make a call, it gives me the message, "Mobile Network Not Available." I am able to connect to Wi-Fi without a problem but I cannot make or receive phone calls or text messages - only "EMERGENCY CALLS ONLY" I thought it was because I had weak signal at home so I traveled somewhere else but still, with little success.
I've tried everything I can think of. I have:
- Factory reset it (many many times)
- Removed the SIM card and put-it-back-in trick
- Put my SIM card onto another phone and worked just fine
- Airplane Mode On>Turn off phone> Turn back on phone> Turn off Airplane mode
- Create a new APN under T-mobile settings
- Turned the Radio off and back on again
- Went to Settings>More>Mobile networks>Network operators>T-Mobile and it gives me "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network." and sometimes, "Cannot connect to this network, please try again later"
- Turned on "Use only 2G Networks"
- Turned on "Data Enabled"
- Turned on and off "Data Roaming"
- In the Setting>About Phone>Status, it says,
"Network: Unknown"
"Mobile Network Type: UNKNOWN:0"
"Mobile Network State: Disconnected"
I have tried all of this and I am still unable to make or receive calls and text messages. Anyone, please help me !!
Sounds like you need a new Sim card. If you tried putting the Sim card in another phone and it doesn't work, then most likely it's a Sim card issue. Order one online or head over to a T-Mobile store and they should give you one for free.

No, when I put my SIM card on another phone, it worked just fine. I did not have any problems with signal reception. Sorry for the confusion.

Go to Settings and check your baseband. If it says not available or something like that then you'll need to flash a new radio
There is also software based bug for network mode. I have personally experienced this i.e. network mode doesn’t change in reality even if I select 3g mode. So, to force your particular sim card to switch to 3g only mode, first deactivate/disable other sim card on Yureka from setting> sim cards menu. Then dial *#*#4636#*#* > phone information. Tap on Turn off radio button and wait until the button reads turn on radio. Select WCDMA only from dropdown menu above the button. Wait a few seconds. Now tap on Turn on Radio button. Your desired sim card will successfully connect to 3G network. Now go to settings and sim card option and activate the disabled sim card as well. You may need to manually search for network signal if no network is shown. Also you may need to restart the device. If in 3g mode, your phone doesn’t connect to internet, Go to apn setting to ensure correct apn is selected. Sometimes APN menu might not show any installed network settings, in such case, just restart the handset. All these network related issues will be hopefully solved in the next Yureka ota software/firmware update.
after you did this you need to reboot your device......

Ok... I screwed up! There is a new Verizon tower near my house and I wanted to update my roaming, so I did the *228. Alas, by accident I chose option 1 (Program phone) instead of option 2 (Update roaming). Immediately after that I lost LTE. 3G is the best I now get.
I am running 7.1 latest update. Not rooted.
Suggestions on how to get LTE back up?
Thanks!

Try this:
*#*#4636#*#*
Phone Information
Change Preferred network type to LTE/WCDMA
If after cycling your connectivity it doesn't pop onto the Verizon 4G network, reboot your phone, you should be good then.
I dont know what it is about that setting that is different, because Verizon doesnt support WCDMA, however this seems to select the correct type of LTE connectivity and you'll be in that. Be aware though, this will likely prevent 3G from working if you enter an area without good 4G coverage.
I have tried all recommendations. LTE works for a while then it is back to 3G. On a further note, when this happens I cannot send a text message but a reboot will solve the text message issue.
I am at a loss. It seems there is no way to make the settings accessed by *#*#4636#*#* STICK.

It not just you. I have been frustrated for weeks. I thought it was only because I upgraded to 8.1 but your situation just answered that. I just ordered a new SIM from Verizon and wont run any programming once I install it. I contacted Essential on it as well as others. I hope the two can work this out.
Best option is a new some. *228 is usually no suggested on LTE unless you really know what you are doing. The PRL should be automatic on LTE.
get a new sim, your is borked now most likely
Will try new SIM tomorrow and let you know...
A VZW rep had me do *228 when I was having some issues with texting when I first got the phone. Fixed the texting issues but then I couldn't get LTE either. A new SIM fixed both issues I was having. *228 is apparently known to bork VZW LTE.
Had the same issues after using the *228 method I advise not using that at all been stuck on 3g since. Getting a new sim thursday hoping that helps (using straight talk Verizon Sim)
Here is a bit of information I have discovered. The phone is stable as long as I NEVER turn on WiFi! IF I have WiFi turned on (no connection to a network required) AND I enter a poor or non-existent service area, I loose service until I go back in with the *#*#4636#*#* and change settings back yet again!
anyone with a new sim got it working? Verizon shipped me one today and put it in. Avoided calling 228 but cannot get the sim to activate itself.
Got a SIM not provisioned error. I turned it off, took the SIM out and checked it, put it back, rebooted and still nothing. Not connecting to Verizon Network. Im afraid to call support because they will insist to call 228 to program it.
BTW the final version of 8.1 fixed all the Verizon weirdness I had going on. I popped it back in 'Global' in the Mobile Network settings (which is equivalent to 'LTE/CDMA/UMTS (PRL)' in the Phone Information section) and it hopped immediately on to Verizon, no kinda looking like sprint, no blank, no need to dial *228 for a new PRL it just worked. In fact on reboot it doesn't sit there with No Service scrolling across the screen for 15-20 seconds after boot, it shows up Verizon Wireless immediately.

I popped it back in 'Global' in the Mobile Network settings (which is equivalent to 'LTE/CDMA/UMTS (PRL)' in the Phone Information section) and it hopped immediately on to Verizon, no kinda looking like sprint, no blank, no need to dial *228 for a new PRL it just worked. In fact on reboot it doesn't sit there with No Service scrolling across the screen for 15-20 seconds after boot, it shows up Verizon Wireless immediately.

That's good to hear I switched to an old straight talk TMobile sim I had while I wait for the replacement straight talk Verizon version hoping things go as smoothly for me when I pop it in

Very frustrating for me. This is my only concern with this phone . Im still stuck in 3G after doing the upgrade, hard reset, and popping in a new SIM without dailing 228. I will change my Mobile Netwok settings to yours above.

May you should try reinserting your sim my phone self corrected once my update was done.
Here are my results:
Installed new SIM - same issue
Did a network data settings reset
Verizon did a flush and reinitialize of my account.
Still same result.
Don't know exactly how or why but about 10 mins later I noticed my phone was OFF.
I powered back up and MOST issues we're gone.
The final fix was to go into developer options and turn on "cellular data always active"
Working great on LTE+

Try putting it in "4G/LTE", wait for it to connect, then back to Global.
After I posted my above message, I did go mucking around in the settings and got it stuck in 3G (even after reboots, etc), then corrected it by doing this.
And quick clarification for the post above this one, it is "Mobile Data Always Active", mine was already on and I never modified it, so that must be the default.
