I posted this on Diamond thread, had about 30 viewings but not even a single comment. So i thought that maybe here's the right place to ask the question. (so no double-posting is intended).
I got the diamond in London (through Orange UK) , unlocked it , did hardspl, changed the radio to 05 and have now come on holidays to a country (Iran) whose network is 2G.
When I put the local SIM Card in Diamond , it recognizes the various networks and asks me to choose one and register. But as soon as I hit register, it tries to register for ages and finally fails to do so.
Is there anyway I can get over this problem and use this European-version Diamond in Iran?
I also have my Hermes and Kaiser with me (both are from Orange UK) and they both work fine with the 2G network here in Iran (of course, on these two devices i've flashed hundreds of custom roms but the Diamond is still on a stock rom)
I noticed that boinger66 is having a thread discussing Diamond in 2G India. but it doesn't seem to pertain to this specific issue.
Could this problem be ROM related? I mean could the rom on a device have anything to do with its registering or not registerin on a specific network ?
Thanks a million times for any suggestion.

I just bought a Dopod P800W over sea. When I returned the States, I tried my Cingular SIM card but the system told me that it is unable to connet to the network (with a number 31041 (error code ???)). I have tried to choose the provider manually through the network wizard. However, only several providers from some asian contries are avaible in the list. Is there anyone know how to add additional providers to the network wizard to make the phone work in the States? or should I update the ROM... Any comments and suggestions are highly apprecaited. Thank you.
well,
i am usind the dopod rom on my german hero. the network wizard does not list my provider, nevertheless it locks into my provider and displays all services as usual.
this could be due to me having unblocked my device so that all sim / providers can be used. i cannot imagine the network wizard to be solely responsible for you not being able to use your provider!!! once you r thinking about unblocking and paying for it, you might want to consider cid-unlocking it via imei-check.co.uk.
I am having the EXACT same problem. I am an AT&T/Cingular blue customer and cant get my phone to work. I purchased the phone in Thailand. Every other phone I've purchased there are unlocked out of the box so I dont know why this one would be any different. Is it possible that this phone is locked to a small group of asian networks?
If anyone knows how to fix this, it would be 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.
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

Indeed, that's why I recommend only the 3 main operators.
tnx guys!
I will give my Trin a new Radio rom and check what will happen then, it can't be that difficult I suppose
btw I used al the operators my phone was able to see, and it didnt make a difference..... strange....
If I have more problems, I will drop a line
tnx again
Hi Guys,
The problem I have with all networks except in uk t-mobile, the other orange, vodafone, o2. When trying to connect to the o2 message pops up: "unable to connect to this network at this time. Please try again later" on t-mobile grabs network without any problem. The problems began when I came to the UK to Poland was all too dobrze.I change to GSM mode, but without effect only if o2 uk only when I set the GSM (PRL) range but appeared only in the city outside the city it was lost and only work network HSPDA.

I asked the operator if a phone is a phone is not on the blacklist he wrote that everything is ok
I hope that everybody will understand me because I wrote the translate: D
Thanks
Sounds to me like it's network locked to T-mobile UK, try using the sim unlocking tool here. The fact that it will work on t-mobile uk suggests there is nothing wrong with the hardware
Hey there,
TL;DR : phone stuck on roaming network, unable to find other networks when scanning.
I've been reading alot around here for a while since a few months, and I'm now asking for help about an issue that I don't know how to fix it.
I'm using a S-ON One V in France (primoU).
I've changed my network operator last week. There are 4 real operators in France (Orange - 208-01, Free - 208-15, Bouygues 208-20 and SFR - 208-10). I've moved from a virtual operator (Prixtel - SFR network) to Free. Free has launched its network last year and has contracted a roaming agreement with Orange to use its network.
My issue is that my phone is stuck on Orange network and is unable to "view" the others and therefore unable to register on Free network. I'm pretty sure that it's a software issue because : i) I was able to scan and see all networks with this ROM, prior changing the sim card, ii) I have a Windows phone right under the hand with the same operator and it's able to scan and view the 4 networks and iii) checking the MCC and the MNC gives the code 208-01. I've performed a crossed check, too, and my HOV still shows the issue with the other sim card, while the Lumia is able to view 3 networks (all but Free) with mine.
It wouldn't be much a big deal since Orange has an excellent quality network if Free wasn't restricting data access on roaming (to cut the costly usage fee, seemingly).
When facing this problem, I was using Omega 2.5.0 with IronMan kernel for a whole month.
As Omega has became extremely laggy and unstable in less than 3 weeks, I thought I would kill two birds with one stone by changing to a new ROM. So I moved to C-Bean with Hellboy-CM10 kernel.
And still the same issue. As with CM10, CyanSense and Shpongle.
So I flashed back to stock ROM with stock kernel (and keeping TWRP recovery). Still the issue.
I then found this thread wich is somewhat related, since the "error while scanning for network" occured sometimes with Shpongle-based (and so AOSP-based) ROMs.
But I wonder why I still face this problem with the stock ROM and why the "error while scanning for network" still poped up when I tested CM-based ROMs (CM10 and CyanSense), while my phone was still S-ON (which shoud prevent radio flashing, as far as I know).
So I went through the Sensation thread about fixing the radio and RIL and I jumped to the conclusion that I may be looking in the wrong way, since I should have fixed the problem when flashing the stock ROM.
Now I've S-OFF the phone and gathered some infos.
Radio (gsm.vers.baseband) : 20.79a.30.0835U_3831.24.01.30_M
RIL (gsm.version.ril-impl) : HTC-RIL 2.2.0039HM (strangely enough, GetRIL shows "unknown")
CID : 61915329
I don't know what to do know now. I'm afraid to mess up the whole thing with somewhat random flashs.
What should I do to fix it?
Thanks for reading.
I've flashed the RUU and the phone keeps recognising the roaming network only.
How can I fix it if the problem is still there with a 100% stock software/firmware ?
OK so I put my former sim card in and performed a network search. I found all the networks available. I changed absolutely nothing else.
Could it possibly be an hardware malfunction between the phone and the sim cards from the provider (since I've been able to reproduce the issue with other sim cards from the same provider) ?
Okay, last bump before I give up.
A crossed check was performed by technicians operator in shop. They recorded the impossibility for my HOV to scan and view the Free network and sent me back to HTC.
I took some time to explain the problem to the HTC call-center guy. And he bounced me back because they don't care since the phone is working even if it's in roaming 100% of time.
As it has been suggested to me by an IT guy, it could be the baseband/radio firmware that may not be up-to-date, as the Free operator has entered the marketplace in early 2013.
Do you know if it's possible and if there a way to fix the radio? :/
EDIT : I managed to borrow a HTC Wildfire Buzz, and it shows exactly the same issue as my One V...
