hey guys, newbie here
i went throught the forums but didnt really find an answer to my problem with the TP2
my TP2 looses connectivity to the network pretty often. even though it shows a good connection to the network and i have good signals, i cant make calls or send sms until i switch to Airplane mode and then back to Phone mode. i read on the board that this problem might be because of the phone trying switch between 3G and GSM, so as they suggested i made the default network band as GSM and im still getting the same problem. plus from the past few days, i have pretty much stopped recieving international sms, which can get pretty fustrating if your girl is in another country
also i been looking for a way to reset the network settings
just for info, i am still running the with the original WM6.1 that came with it. th only updates have been for the radio version (gps thing) and sms hotfix
ROM : 1.19.415.1 (51489) WWE
Radio: 2.46.25.30
the network im on is Etisalat (3G network)
any help would be really appreciated
anyone

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...

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..

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
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 everyone, its been long since i am facing this issues (i have a workaround to tackle this issue but cant do it everytime)
as soon as i rooted tab 3 7.0 (SM T211) it started showing that there is no sim card to turn on the mobile network but calling worked pretty fine
i thought i might try different rom but not luck and on the top of that it now shows my vodafone carrier as hutch :/
can any one help me with this..?
the workaround i found is
i have to set my mobile data connection to only gsm then restart the tab if lucky it will show the vodafone in in the carrier space and then i have to change from just gsm to auto mode (gsm and wdcma)
but the problem with this is, if i restart...i have to do everything again and while in the middle of a call or surfing net on 3g, the connection drops and goes back to hutch :/
please help
