Hello Guys,
I'm experiencing a problem with my Froyo Desire for probably a week now.
The thing is that in certain areas my Phone can not receive calls / sms or such. In other words "GSM services" dont work. 3g though works fine (stable, strong and fast connection) My Provider is T-Mobile.
After quite a lot of testing I was able to isolate the error:
When WCDMA / GSM is chosen by the phone automatically it seems to me as if it didnt switch "back" to register with my provider via GSM when i want to make a call or if someone wants to call me.
When i switch to "GSM only" manually everything works fine but i have no 3g of course.
I also experience this problem only in certain areas. I live in an area where there is really strong HSDPA available (up to 7mbit\s). When i go to other places of my city i still get HSDPA (not as strong) but calls / sms still work.
The last paragraph may be of no importance, i don know.. probably it helps..
I have googled quite much about this problem and also found a few persons experiencing the same issue but nobody was able to come up with a solution.
I would be very thankful if someone could try to figure this out.

gsm only Desire?
I'm having a nightmare with 3g 2g connectivity on my Desire on the three network whilst at home. If I could manually select gsm only this would be fine as I could still call and text and use wi-fi. Unfortunately my options are gsm/wcdpa (or whatever) auto or the 3g only.
can someone please advise if it is possible to select gsm only and if so, how?
many thanks
Can someone please advise me how if possible, to set the desire to gsm only?

Wireless and network-Mobile network- should be here somewhere.
Thanks, but there is no option for gsm only. It's wcdma only or gsm/wcdma auto. there has to be a way around this.
Similar problem, different version
I've experienced similar problem.
In some area, I can get steady grps signal when I switched GSM only on; but when I switched WCDMA/GSM on, I could get no data connection at all.
I'm using China Unicom's mobile service.
Solution
Hi there,
I've the same issue and I fix it allowing the option GSM/WCDMA Auto in the configuration menu.
Then enter the following code *#*#4636#*#*, select "phone Information" and set preferred network type, set "GSM car (PRL)".
Sorry about my bad english.
Hello! I bought a desire second hand and it has no reception. I tried to change the radio and I tried almost everything. It didn't work. When there is an outgoing connection the reception is 3 and 4 bars but when the device go to sleep and then wakes up there is no reception. I think that is a problem in 2G module but I can't find the desire's scheme to see where is the 2G module situated and to see if it is broken.
Please if someone has a a scheme please post it or know what is the problem.

It looks at the operator's APN, it is possible that they are not in his place.
Is it Sim-Unlock???
You should not change the Radio until you do not solve the problem. Anyway: does he settle well when you change it?

Yes, it is Sim-Unlock. When the outgoing connection is active, there is no problem, Sometimes it drops but most of the cases it is stable and it doesnt stop. But when going to sleep there is no reception.
I look at the APN but everything is ok.
Type this on telephone: *#*#4636#*#*
It looks in the principal field of the submenu, and if it puts WCDMA you must change to GSM auto (PRL). It can be that it gives turned out...

Is someone know if there is some tech in the antenna cover or what is the role of it?
i have the same problem.
WCDMA works fine but GSM is broken. I've tried everything... different radios, settings, etc... looks like a hardware defect.
Did you find a solution?
I would love to find a way to really troubleshoot this. I've been having problems with flakey reception for a very long while. Im inclined to think the desire simply does not perform well in areas with moderate to low coverage. In other words, it needs a strong signal.
Are you sure your provider has a gsm network? In Canada, Bell and Telus (and their discount brands) don't have a gsm network. They built a hsdpa network on top of their old 2G cdma network. They are not compatible. Rogers network is better since you can always fall back on the legacy gsm network.

Hi everyone,
I'm reasonably certain that this isn't a redundant thread -- at least, none of the discussions I've read have helped me fix my problem. Anyway, here goes:
I have a new i9250T that I purchased through Amazon. When I got it, I popped in the SIM card from my Nexus One (both SIM and phone acquired in January 2010). Everything worked fine, EXCEPT that I could only connect to T-Mobile's 2G network (Network Type = Edge:2). After trying everything I could think of, I called T-Mobile, and the tech told me that my 2-year-old SIM card was 2G only and that I should update it. So I went to a T-Mobile store and got a new SIM. Alas, it doesn't seem to have worked.
I would REALLY appreciate any suggestions. Some additional info:
-- I'm in Philadelphia, in a very good coverage area.
-- I flashed yakju, 4.0.2, and UGLC1 radio before getting the new SIM.
Again, any thoughts will be appreciated. I've seen enough posts on various boards from people successfully using this phone on T-Mobile to not give up, but I'm out of ideas.
check what your APN settings are on your N1 and make sure that they ate the same on your GN.

Thanks. I'll check that tomorrow morning (I left the N1 at my office).

i too received my galaxy nexus today from amazon, i also only seem to be receiving EDGE service. The apn settings were enter automatically from the sim card i assume, and seem to be the same as my old Galaxy S 4g.What else can we try.

Weirdest crap... aren't the GNEX suppose to work with either GSM Carriers 3G? From what I read lol ...
- Google Galaxy Nexus
I get 3G/H with my Nexus. Running Android Revolution HD 3.0 w/ franco's kernel. Not sure if I got it before then running stock, though.
It should definitely work no question with little issue. Just pop in your sim and good to go. Maybe its some random network issue in your area that coincidentally started?
Same here, got it on Amazon. it's a GT-I9250T which means it's for the Australian market (I9250 International, I9250M Canada, I9250T Australia). I'm just stuck on EDGE, but works fine on AT&T - I tried it with my gf's sim card.
The problem is with the frequencies. T-mobile uses 1700 and 2100 (both! for upload and download), AT&T uses 1900Hz. The phone is supposed to be a pentaband phone that's able to work on all on the freqs besides others (850, 900). So my guess after a few days research is that it's limited in the software. Still researching the solution...
Let's keep each other posted on this, i'm eager to get my 4G back !!!
NEW DEVELOPMENT!!!
Information from another post: flashing UGLC1 radio helps. Good luck all
I had the same issues with no 3g speeds on any radios except a random docomo radio until today.
Based on a few posts in the baseband thread i tried the settings in the hidden menu
Go into the phone dialer and type
*#*#4636#*#* -This should bring up a testing menu
Go into phone info, then pull up the settings menu
There should be a select radio band button
Try the USA band, if that doesn't work, try automatic.
This worked for me, I've since flashed 4 different radios that hadn't worked previously and now do at standard speeds vs edge only.
Well my buddy bought his also from amazon and had the same issue as the OP. But luckily we got it fixed. I believe what he did was only tinker with the APN settings. Under APN Type in your T Mobile apn make sure the correct profiles are there. One of them could be data but I'm not sure as I'm on SIMPLE Mobile and my buddy is on T Mobile, sorry. If you get it working and your MMS isn't working, then add mms to the profile as well. That should do it. He did get his phone with 4.0.1 and I updated it to 4.0.4 Android Revolution 3.0 just like me as well but it wasn't until we tinkered with his settings did it work. Oh and we also swapped for a new SIM. Let me know if this helped guys. I'll try getting his settings if I see him tomorrow.
Edit: his was also an Australian galaxy nexus. But he seems be having everything working now

So ait this is the Australian version? They use 850 and 2100 bands so is it possible the other bands are disabled on that version?
Problem solved!
I took chimaki1's advice and fiddled with the radio band setting. I had done this previously, but I had always selected "USA Band." This time, I selected "Automatic." Closed out of the Testing menu, and -- bingo! The wonderful 'H' appeared and I was now getting real speed -- 7.9mbps down, 2.8 up. Not as good as some of the insane speeds I've seen posted by GN owners on T-Mobile, but a lot better than 100kbps down I had been getting. Also, I didn't mess with the APN settings at all.
To recap the solution for others having the same issue:
From the phone dialer, enter *#*#4636#*#*
Tap "Phone information"
Tap the Settings icon at the bottom right
Tap "Select radio band"
Select "Automatic"
Close out of the Testing menu (you can just hit the Home key)
I can't remember whether I had to soft reset or not; I don't think I did.
I hope this works for others. Thanks very much to everyone who posted.

This is weird. my galaxy is still not getting 3G/4G Service even after changing radio band in the hidden test menu.
Is your galaxy running the stock software, or are you running something different. if so, what rom are you running
It's running the yakju image and OS version 4.0.2. I flashed both using the WugFresh tool. The phone came with yakjuxw (I think) and 4.0.1.

Not "disabled" but more like they're set up to "prefer" the Australian bands.
I'm having the same issue on the I9250T I just got. Stuck on edge. I played around with the hidden menu settings, still no luck. I'm using a TMo SIM card from my previous phone which had 4G so I doubt that its a time/patience issue. Any help will be appreciated.

My phone has had "H"/4G access since day one, if I put it on US-Band I only get Edge. I put it on AUTOMATIC and it works fine, leave it on AUTOMATIC.
Today I tried a friend's ATT SIM and it worked fine with H/3G speeds. popped the TMo SIM back in and I'm back to EDGE. Wondering if there is something that needs to be done to the phone settings or, or I was hopping some one could tell me what needs to be done.. thanks
Hello friend, i bought a new m9 and when i activate data mobile i have only 3g , i tryed factory reset, to setup my network,
I rooted my phone, installed custom room.. still no change.. anyone can know why ?
Well maybe you dont have great 4g signal in your area? Or change apn.

As stated already , the signal could be weak in your area. Type in the dialer key pad ##3282# and you can also look to make sure all the bands are enabled on your device. I don't see why they wouldn't be though. A handful of users have stated bad connectivity with the M9, but that's on the sprint network I have been reading about.
at ##3282# it say only OK.. nothing about enable bands and i tryed sim of my friend (vodafone 4g) he have m8 and 4g working... on my m9 doesnt..

I have same problem with my M9+. In Manchester Area UK
I had perfect 4G with my old M8 but with new phone only 3G!!
Let me know if you get any answers. HTC and Vodafone couldnt help me either.
Check access point names, make sure only one is listed and selected.
Go to networks and search for network, click automatic.
Open the connectivity selection and make sure that the scalable option is chosen (2g/3g/4g)
Are you using one Base with the wrong firmware? Make sure they match up.
Find a friend on the same network or shared network and see if they have 4g in your location.
Test the sim in another phone.
Call network to check for issues in your area and or if there is an error against your account, may need a new sim if that one is old.
Test in major parts of the city center next time you're shopping..
Perform a speed test to see what speed you're actually getting, hspa is up to 20mb, 4g AFAIK is around 60mb, I've had 48 before. Anything over 20 could be considered 4g, you will very very rarely see a 3G tariff go over 19mb, which is the most I've ever seen.
Good luck.

I have the same issue with the M9. Couldn't find an answer for this problem. Even tried opening lte bands as listed here but no luck.
The thing is that I used to get LTE where I am now, went on long holiday and can't get it to work again so no idea what's up.

I tried my sim with my wife's iphone and i got 4g without any problem. It's not a sim issue. Whatever the problem is, it's with the device (hardware, software, settings). I remember it also took me a few weeks after getting the M9 to get a 4g signal, but then one day it just appeared so there's that to add to the mystery.

Reset your network settings mate, set to manual then back to automatic.
Make sure you actually catch the network on manual first before manual. You will find it, it's just a case of going through the motions.
Also click menu, reset to defaults in access point names.

1. How do you "reset network settings"?
2. set to manual - you mean in 'Network operators' menu select 'Search networks', select my network, then go back and selecting 'Select automatically'?
3. What do you mean "just a case of going through the motions"?
4. Should I reset APN at the last step or at the beginning?
I'm trying to understand your steps as clearly as i possible can because this no 4g issue took a lot of time and effort from me and it still doesn't work. Any help is very much appreciated.

I am trying to help you.
There are no steps it's just a case of trying everything to do with the network. If what you say is true and you've literally just had this issue occur out of the blue then it has to be a difference on the handset, especially seeing as you have tested the sim in another phone and it works.
Reset to default is with apn, doesn't matter when you do this just reset them, make sure it's checked and cycle mobile data on and off.
Clarify that your device is set to 2g/3g/4g within network mode (I believe it's called)
And I was referring to setting network selection to manual within mobile network settings, then choosing your network, then researching and selecting automatic.
The path is: settings / mobile data / network operators / search networks, wait for yours and select it, cycle mobile data (turn off then back on) if that doesn't work, switch back to automatic.
Reboot your phone after making changes, perform the full shut down method instead of the restart or power off methods, it's power and volume up AFAIK, hold for 10+ seconds, might be 15.
Going through the motions refers to checking anything and everything which influences the network, one of these setting will get it working..
Might be seen as overkill but a factory reset (if it's not been tried already) good luck.

I know you are trying to help me, and I very much appreciate it. Truly am.
I tried doing all the steps you listed, but no luck. Even tried at some point to force lte only in 4636 screen but that resulted in no signal at all. Trying to manually select a network in that setting only gives me the other 2 networks that work in the area but not vodafone which is what I use.
As a complete overkill I RUU earlier to the new 2.11.617 firmware without signing into my google account or restoring anything, and still no lte. What I did saw however, in the select network screen, was that next to my network, it said 2g/3g and next to the other 2 networks here it said 2g/3g/4g. Obliviously I can't select them as it's a vodafone simcard.
I added here SS from LTE discovery app while i was on 'lte only' mode. You can see signal is there but it cannot connect.
Any wild ideas or suggestions? I'm opened to try almost anything
Just out of interest, have you tried a different sim card? I know you said that your sim worked in another phone but I'd still be tempted to contact voda to get a new sim and to see if everything is set up on a network level, you may have to tell via that the issue is persistent in different phones or they may make you pay for it.
Also, might be something to do with the association between your phone and your sim. I once had a sim that blocked my missus, she could call me but I couldn't call her, no active diverts of any kind, I could call anyone and they could call me, got a new sim and it was sorted. Very strange, but anomalies like this do occur.
Have you got any mods or are you at stock at the moment? I know you said ruu. Oh and lol click thanks BTW.

Well the thing is that my wife's sim card in my phone only gets 3g. On her iPhone it's 4g. My sim card in my wife's iPhone gets 4g. On my phone only 3g so it seems like a very specific problem with my device.
Shortly after ruu I installed viper 3.5 without any mods..
Can it be that my device is somehow blocked by the network towers or something of that nature?
Maybe a hidden setting somewhere that blocking the phone's 4g capabilities? This is getting ridiculous..

No worries fella
If you've already tried another sim and it's still not happening, the firmware matches the rom, your sim works in other phones with 4g. Then I'm really not sure mate..
Give Lee droid a whirl that's what I'm using at the moment.. A simple but great rom..
I'm pretty much out of ideas now, if all of the above has been checked then it's something that I'm not aware of.. Sorry mate..
for the record it is a weird one, something should have got it working by now..

I can't return the device as it was bought in the states and I live in Europe at the moment.
I think I will try to change my sim card for a new one just in case, and will change back to stock 2.11.617 for a couple of days to see if that can make any difference.
Will post an update if i will have one.

Yes it would. He probably bought a cdma and has to have the correct bandwidths unlocked.

Hey there,
I just moved to Germany with my mi5s.
I know the device doesn't support LTE band 20 (800Mhz), so in some places I'm stuck with 3G.
But it happened to me twice that I coudn't even make normal phone calls. I'm not sure whether that was a bug in LOS 15.1. But it made me wonder: Maybe there is a better configuration for mi5s in a "band-20" place like Germany?
My current setting is "TD-SCDMA/GSM/WCDMA/LTE".
Can anyone recommend any other setting, or should I keep it as is?
Cheers,
Linus X.

I just moved to Germany with my mi5s.
I know the device doesn't support LTE band 20 (800Mhz), so in some places I'm stuck with 3G.
But it happened to me twice that I coudn't even make normal phone calls. I'm not sure whether that was a bug in LOS 15.1. But it made me wonder: Maybe there is a better configuration for mi5s in a "band-20" place like Germany?
My current setting is "TD-SCDMA/GSM/WCDMA/LTE".
Can anyone recommend any other setting, or should I keep it as is?
Cheers,
Linus X.

There is no way to enable band 20 as you probably know But you can use GSM/WCDMA/LTE setting and maybe it will be more stable for phone calls.
In Serbia we also have band 3 and band 20 4G, so sometimes we are restricted to 2G or 3G. I am using proposed settings and I have good signal

Thanks for your advice.
I'm using this setting now and internet connection seems okay.
But I have a different issue: Often phone calls get inerrupted as soon as the other person picks up. Really annoying! I then switch to "GSM only" and can call normally. But obviously that's not a solution.
Any ideas?

You can try with LOS 16, I am using it and I don't have issues with network or call quality. I am living in city where there is enough 4g antennas for band 3.
Make sure VoLTE is not enabled, nor is Wifi calling.
