GSM connection drops in Belgium & Luxembourg - P3600 ROM Development

Hi guys,
I had a strange problem this weekend, my P3600 (bepe rom, dont now the version), works fine in Holland. But when I drove into Belgium the phone switched over to the Belgium T-Mobile, and the connection was gone! The phone tried to re-connect and each time there was an connection for a few seconds, and then it was gone again.
This lasted no matter what I tried. I used the connection Wizard to set the settings the the Belgium network, but that didnt work also.
The phone became terrible slow and even the GPS function was affected (tomtom was not able to find the gps device). After shutting down the gsm with the commanager everything worked fine again, but I was not able to make a call obviously. Back in Holland the phone switched to the Dutch Tmobile and calling was possible again.
Has anyone have this problem before?
regards,
Ron

belgian user here, and never had those kind of problems. maybe the problem is the operator you were supposed to switch network to (depends on your local operator, and which belgian operator he is supposed to work with). maybe you should try switching the band manually to avoid 3G connections, and to force GSM connection. these are the only kind of connection problems I've met here in Belgium...
hope this can help...

I use Vodafone and just finished a trip to Luxenburg, Belgium, France and Germany and then back to Netherlands. I use Karmba ROM and had no problems..

thanks for the quick replies guys!!! i tried to set the gsm operator mannually, but it was pretty hard doing that, as the phone was occupied searching for a network. (errormessage "phone busy"). there is a list with preferred operators in the phone settings part. i think that could be the problem. can somebody with a positive experience post his/her settings? For T-mobile Holland that is ofcourse.
thanks!!!

ps. 3G was switched off

Whos ROM

Whos ROM are you using? Try Karmba_a....v.3.0

For good reception in Belgium you really should use one of the big three operators: Mobistar, Proximus and Base.

maybe a problem of the radio rom?
what version are you using?

belgium doesnt have a t mobile network afaik

Try a different radio rom.
Here you are some,I hope I can help you.
Bye

Help please.

Flash back to your stock WM 5.0 rom provided by your carrier, it's in the Wiki.
Its the same.
Do you mean UMTS/3G? HSDPA should only be active momentarily and only while downloading data.

where do you live and who is your carrier provider?
in my countery there is same problem but it's a carrier problem.
if your carrier sale this device you can asked them
Which Mobile network in which country.
Maybe we should make a list in the wiki of networks which are having problems with calls when in HSDPA mode?
Tmn Portugal.
I have the same problem with Movistar in Spain. No problem with calls over the 3G/UMTS connection though. But as was previously said the HSPDA is only used when transfering data so this doesn´t effect me too much. However this can be problem when you are using skype or push mail which transfers data on a regular basis. I´ve tried other Radios but the same problem and Movistar can only suggest disconnecting before making a call eek: ), which is helpful!
same here... dutty v2... i use push email via live mail... and get droped calls... or people not riching me.... 1.40 radio... ORANGE RO
Same in Sweden
I do have 3 in Sweden and have exactly the same problems here
i get this too. vodafone UK on black 3. ended up turning HSPDA off
I'm on "3" in Denmark and have the same problem.
It should be noted that Nokia phones can do HSPDA and receive calls, so while I'm sure it's carrier related, it must be a mixture of the carrier and the Hermes...
I have switched HSPDA off but tries it every time I flash a new ROM or new radio. Has never worked since WM5 and am now on newest LVSW ROM with same result...
- Soren
YES ! I updated with last LVSW elf edition , radio 1.41.00.10 , i put my operator settings manualy and i can receive calls when i m is HSPDA. The phone switch to 3g when receive or doing a call !!!

we have a cellular operator here in israel that is currently busy fixing it...
contact your network operator.
i have been using LVSW's ROM & sleuth version and when connected to the PC using the device's internet sharing apps with HSDPA connection, still I am able to receive & make calls.. no problem ..also when the device itself is connected to the internet (with HSDPA mode on).. no problem pertaining calls..
I am in Malaysia & on the celcom network..
just thought of sharing my experience here..

O2 UK 3G help appreciated.

Hello everybody,
I apologise in advance if there exists an answer elsewhere, but I have been searching for the past week to no avail. I'd appreciate if somebody could point me to the right thread/direction.
I upgraded from my stock mda vario2 rom, to the latest schaps (WM6).
Everything works ultra fine but I there is no 3G! I have tried a few different radios and right now i'm on 1.43. I still cannot make video phone calls. The icon is stuck on G. I'm in east london btw.
I believe my O2 uk settings are right though , to te best of my novice knowledge that is.
Again I apologise if this is already addressed in another thread or wiki. Mods, please delete my post if it is a repitition.
Appreciate any help.
Cheers!
you have a tmobile phone or an o2 phone? goto phone settings and check its set to auto
Thanks for the reply,
I have the t-mobile's mda vario2. Tried that already but its still on G.
i have the same problem with an orange 3100. it will only find G not 3G. i have even tried swapping sims but no luck. i have tried all the different settings cabs i can find but no luck
i'm using an orange spv m3100 with no problems on o2uk, and i had 1.43 until yersterday.
o2's signal seems to be inferior to that of orange; i.e. 3g reception not as good
for example i do not get a 3g signal at home on o2, but did on orange, however i do get a 3g signal outside and in other places (on o2)
goggle the site for the field test software.

Call O2 customer service and ask whether you have 3G access activated on your SIM card. I have bought O2 pay as you go SIM card some time ago and it did not access 3G at all, since the very beginning on any 3G phone. Somewhere on the receipt or SIM pack (don't remember now) I've found sth like 'SIM 2G' so that way I figured out card is not meant to log into 3G. But I never bothered to call CS anyway, as I very rarely use that SIM.
Thanks guys,
I'll try all ur suggestions, I did try swapping sims with my wife, hers is an O2 sim which actually has the letter 3G on it, but nope its still Ging on me. I will give O2 a call.

Calls possible with HSDPA Data Transfer?

Hi all
I experienced some problems since I upgraded to WM 6 (official Tytn Europe Version)
If there is a active Datatransfer in HSDPA Mode, i cannot make or receive a phone call. I already tried several Radio Versions (1.43/1.48/1.50), but no success. When I disable HSDPA, it works fine.
Does anybody has same issues with HSDPA?
Thanks
Marc
Vodafone issue
Hi - are you using a vodafone network? I know that there are issues on the network that are preventing some operators from supporting voice and data at teh same time over HSDPA....
The operators I know about are planning network upgrades or patches to solve the issues (which are not just limited to Windows Mobile devices apparently)
I can make calls -> versions below I don't think this is just a phone issue though. I think some operators can't do it.
I have the same problem as you have.
It is because of the infrastructure of my provider KPN that I have this problem. When I disable HSDPA then all works fine. So no I only use HSDPA when I want to browse on the Internet.
****ty but now I know why.........
Hi all
Thanks for the confirmation.
I also disabled HSDPA for now.
Now I will the push the guys in the network department to fix this issue......
Just got the answer from the tech guys. Operators with Ericsson UMTS/HSDPA Network Equipment are affected by this. The Operator has to rollout a software update to fix this issue.
Cheers
Marc
I am on AT&T and have never been able to do data and voice at hte same time.
I'm on At-T in Nyc and my HSDPA works just fine calls while on data and vice versa
I'm in South Florida and I'm constantly using Internet Sharing in HDSPA mode while talking on my Jawbone... (takes "jawbone of an ass" to a whole new level, ehehehe!)

OK, now THAT is the funniest thing I've read here! Thanks for the laugh!
I saw the jawbone at the ATT/Cingy store and wondered if I should splurge on it since I already have an H500 and an H700 from Motorola. My problem is I ride bike a lot and the wind noise makes it impossible to have a conversation with an H500. It is possible but a little difficult to talk while riding using the H700. I was wondering if you had any experience with the Jawbone under similar conditions?
Regards,
George
OOPs - That was meant to be PM, sorry folks!
The Hermes is able to do both. Phone calls and data (HSDPA\GPRS\EDGE) at the same time. Your data speed does take a hit due to bandwith.
However if you cannot is because is 99.999% the network NOT the phone. I had a Hermes long before the network here in Canada supported HSDPA. So I could only do one at the time. At the beginning of this year they finally updated it and I have been doing both at the same time with wild abandon no problem.
Check with your provider.
@gmgonzal - the Jawbone will probably be the best you can find for your enviroment. I only use it in my Toyota when driving. People can't tell that I'm on a cell phone. I had a NxZen which I liked for a while but this is better, IMO.
@agovinoveritas - indded, that's the biggest reason I upgraded to the 8525... no more missed calls when I'm using the internet (or receiving an email at the same time..)
It's the network. All operators that use Ericsson 3G equipment suffer from a bug in the Ericsson kit that prevents simultaneous data/voice. All Nokia equipment works fine. T-Mobile in the NL use Nokia and have no issues. KPN and Vodafone NL use Ericsson and have this issue. KPN are currently upgrading their Ericsson equipment to correct this issue (ETA end 2007). I do not know about Vodafone NL. It is safe to assume that in other countries these providers use the same kit so you should be fine with TMO, regardless of where you are.
Does this issue include that my telephoneconversation can be disconnected?
I had this problem with the WWE WM5 HTC rom using the Vodafone NL network. Now I have uograded to the Dopod WM6 ANZ version it's all fine...

[Q] Sim card or Phone problem ??

Hi everybody,
I have a big problem with my phone (or with my sim card).
Since 2 days, and without touching anything, my phone has a lot of difficulty to connect the Network that I'm registered to (Orange).
I'd got some connection problems like these ones :
- "Your sim card doesn't allow you to connect this network"
- When activating the 3G it stays on "activating" (even if I reboot the system and pull out the battery for few seconds)
- Non-send messages
So I decided to wipe all data and reinstall. It worked…but…the next day it restarts..!!
Do you think it's caused by an app or by rooting the phone with xtc-clip ?
My specs :
- S-OFF
- Rooted
- RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.13.401.2_Radio_47.23a.35.3035H_7.53.39.03M_release_225747_signed.exe
PS : the RUU has been installed with the sim card inside the phone of course.
Installing ruu with sim in shouldn't be a problem.
Easiest thing would be try another sim before deciding what to do next mate.
Thanks for replying.
In fact my phone network works again since I've created the topic but I don't know at all how ..
I've tried my girlfriend's SIM yesterday but it is a blackberry one and I don't why my phone doesn't accept it to register .. I will try again or use a friend SIM this week end.
BTW does your 3g connection make about 5sec to be activated ? Before the problem appears in 1/2 sec I've got the 3g. Now it's more, but it works.
This is not an APN problem 'cause they're all OK and for messages it's not a problem from message center since it's OK.
So I am always wondering how the phone could have this behavior without any changes.
If it makes the same again, I will call my operator to know more about it and will make a feedback here.
It could well be network/operator related maybe they have a problem.
Anyway main thing is your back up and working again.
The problem isn't resolved unhopefully... It doesn't work at home .. Sometimes yes, and the rest of the time no network (even if I got all the bars of the network and the Edge Logo) and I can't do anything.
I called the operator yesterday, they say my SIM card was defective so I went to the operator's shop and they changed the SIM card.
But back at home, it doesn't work again .. And now I'm at my job's office and it works again ..
So I conclude that there is a network problem in my block of flats ?
I will call back them tonight to see what they tell to me and will make a feedback here.
Also I tried to swap phone, the same problem with my old Sony Ericsson.
I put my SIM in my girlfriend's Blackberry (network used to work for her), and it does'nt work. Then when she puts back her SIM card, she had no network as me...
So could it be a hack of SIM card to prevent you having network at home ? (it could seem a lil bit paranoiac I know ^^)

I don't think so mate.
More probable is that the mast that provides data that is closest to your home is at fault.
I would just make sure to report it and I'm sure others will have issues, so your provider should investigate and provide a solution.

I called the network provider, they say they will call me tomorrow for me to talk with a technician.
BTW my girlfriend called them earlier and they say this is a problem due to the residence.
I tried to ask them if there is a problem with the mast, they said it seems to be normal and network works well in my area...
But the network is fine out.. In the appartment it works about 10/15mins per hour ...
For the "SIM Hack" suggestion I told you, do you think this is possible ? (I doubt because no problem out ..)
Let's wait and see ! If you have any suggestions, don't hesitate !
Thanks for the support though !
Edit : always all the bars of network and E logo just sending, not receiving when it doesn't work.
Maybe your building is a blackspot meaning signal is not passing through happens to me indoors with wifi.
And where I live in a small village I can't get a good data signal indoors.
I have to turn off 3g altogether and opt for 2g only as it gives me better call signal.
But if I walk for 10 mins towards town I can switch to 3g and its perfect.
I would just wait to speak to the tech guys and see what they say.
Oh and forgot to mention my operator reduced my monthly bill due to my poor signal, haha.
Good luck hope they sort it for you.
If not try a different network sim just as a test.
The strange fact is that it used to work perfect in the building.
There are problems for about 4 days now.
When I forced 3G using "WCDMA only", it seems the signal was better and not blocked on E/G.
And now I turned it back to Auto and it works .. I don't understand what the **** is happening... !! It comes back to 3G/H.. but sometimes it fails again ..
I will wait for the tech guys, and if it's not solvable I guess I would ask for a commercial act such as yours !
Moreover this week, friends will come so we will see if they've got network (I believe they're at the same network provider, no luck ^^) .. !
Thanks for your support again mate, really appreciated !
My phone just started doing the same thing. Its a stock phone.
Finally nobody called me back but the network came back so no more problem now.. How ?? I simply don't know .. Good job "Orange".. !
Thanks for support though

[Q] Network service problem

Hello!
My HTC Desire HD have recently a problem when trying to connect to a network provider. My service provider is Mobistar in Belgium.
When I attempt to connect to a network manually, I get “Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network”.
I tryed the same SIM in another phone, it works fine.
I have already tried: changing the wireless band, fly mode on and off, factory reset, *#*#4636#*#*, removing battery. Two days ago i rooted the HTC (custom rom, new radio) but it is still the same...
Now here comes the odd part. If i remove my sim, put it in a different phone and switch that phone on, then remove again and put it back into my HTC, it works normally for a few hours.
Yesterday, i inserted a simcard from another country and it works perfectly. So if it is in roaming, it works...
HTC Desire HD
Android 2.3.5 - Android Revolution HD 7.3
Kernel: 2.6.35.14-RCMIX3D-V12-CRD-gec898d5-dirty
Radio:12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M
I don't know what is the problem, if anyone can help me, i appreciate
Thank you very much!
Does that provider use another network? Maybe need to turn on roaming (or change roaming settings).
Just a guess tho, goodluck with it.

Thank you for your answer.
I searched and i didn't find anything that says that my provider uses another network. (and i didn't find the roaming settings, just the roaming data on/off, maybe that is automatic)
My girlfriend have also the same phone (HTC Desire HD) and also the same provider, and she doesn't have any problems.
I don't understand why if i change my simcard to another phone and then put it back to my phone it works for some hours, till it says limited service...Then i can't do anything less then put it again in another phone if i want to use it again. Or use the simcard from my land (Portugal) in this phone.
The phone is from Belgium, unlocked, the simcard is from Mobistar. My portuguese simcard is from Vodafone Portugal and it connects to Proximus in roaming (another provider from Belgium).
Thank you very much. I hope to find a solution
