I'm still trying to get EVDO and roaming working on my PPC6600 converted to Verizon XV6600. (See my last post in "Sprint ghosts lurk")
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=36992
I am thinking there is more ROM storage that holds Life Timer, Refurbishment Status, the carrier name that pops on the antenna icon (mine still says Sprint PCS) and under roaming preferences (still says Sprint there too). Maybe this is all stored with the MSL code?
I have manually provisioned this exactly as the in store XV6600 (as far as I can tell), but can only connect to data if I set "No IP" under 3G data 1 settings, instead of "MIP Preferred" as the in store unit has. Now I connect, but only at 1x rates (~100kbps). Related is the roaming setting. I can only make and receive calls if I set it to "Home Only". If I set it to "Sprint" (which of course should now say Verizon after reprogramming), it indeed shows the EV symbol on top of the Today page, but I cannot receive calls, only place, and cannot connect to data.
Hopefully someone has found where this other info is stored. I have already flashed the Ext ROM, radio, and the Windows 2003 2.04 image.
Hi I am in the uk and on the orange network, since I received a text from orange saying that I could share the tmobile signal about a week ago I have hardly ever got a signal anymore, I thought sharing the network was supposed to make it better not worse.
I set everything up as it said and I spoke to the customer service department to check it was set up as it should be and they said it was, but the problem is still there whatever I do.
So I wondered if there was other people on here that used orange in the uk and if so what's your signal like?
And
What radio do you guys use to get the best reception?
Thanks

Are you still picking up the Orange signal? Or the joint Orange T Mobile one?
I have the same setup and my phone stays on Orange most of the time and only flips to the Orange/Tmo one when the Orange signal is rubbish.

I was going to try and merge my t-mobile signal but i remember
my friend told me that android specifically has problems with it.
anyway this is taken from t-mobile site, dunno if u tried it :
HTC Desire : How to enable the sending and receiving of messages while using the Orange signal
To enable the sending and receiving of messages whilst using the Orange signal, choose the following path from the home screen of the device:
Menu >
Settings >
Wireless & networks >
Mobile networks (Set options for roaming, networks, APNs)>
Ensure the box labelled “Connect to data services when roaming” has been checked, in the section labelled Data roaming.
and this might help? :
Known issues with Android phones not set to enable 'data roaming'
Android phones are set not to enable ‘data roaming’, so when you’re using an Orange signal:
You won’t be able to send or receive picture messages or browse the internet
You might get a message that says, ‘You have lost data connectivity’
If you receive a picture message or activate an internet page, you might get a warning message, ‘Generic network failure’ or ‘Unknown error’
You might see the ‘roaming’ icon (a triangle) whenever you’re using an Orange signal
You might see a message ‘Allow data roaming? You may incur significant charges!’ each time your phone picks up an Orange signal
When you pick up an Orange signal your phone will ask you: ‘Allow data roaming?’
What to do: Enable ‘Data roaming’ on your phone, but remember to disable it if you leave the UK to avoid charges.
What to do: We’re working on a special fix for you to download to your phone. Keep an eye on our Help & Support section for when it’s available.
Hi:
I'm on Bell, and I've been happily using the same Cyanogen build for months (7-05252011-nightly according to the about phone settings).
Without warning, three days ago the phone aspect and Internet have stopped working:
1. The phone strength indicator in the notification bar shows zero bars and a tiny x.
2. There is a new icon I've never seen - a white rectangle with one corner cut off and a black exclamation mark inside of it (SIM error icon?).
3. The APN list is blank.
The IMEI is listed, but my phone # shows as unknown, network shows as unknown, mobile network type is unknown, service state is out of service, and mobile network state is disconnected...
I have tried to search networks, or select automatically, but both give me errors.
I have tried adding the Bell mobility APN repeatedly, but it wouldn't save. Is this a problem with the phone, Android, the SIM card, provisioning, or something else? I fear I would have to return everything to stock in order to send it in for repair, so I'd like to try whatever else is possible before then.
I tried removing and reseating the SIM card, but no luck there either...do these things just fail for no reason?
Thanks very much in advance - so frustrating...

Have you been messing with the radio recently?One time I had a problem with losing my APN settings,not been able to save when manually entered,and a sim not inserted error was after pushing the radio ril files over to phone,just a suggestion,have you a nandroid backup to go back to?
Nope, no ROM or radio fiddling...

I would reflash a the rom and see if that fixes it
Just installed the latest stable Cyanogen mod after backing up and wiping the system and cache - same problem...can a hardware flaw develop over time like this?
The only other thing I can think of would be to flash a different radio, the radio in my signature is popular.
Some people use a superwipe program which could also be worth trying,if that does not fix it, then to me sounds like a hardware fault has developed,or there is a problem with your provider.
Thanks - I think either reflashing then recovering my ROM, and/or reseating the SIM card made it work. Whew - what a relief
Hi
I have just rooted my Xperia Play, everything is working fine, but in the notification menu the phone shows "(No Service)" despite the phone working and all calls are perfect.
Anyone know why it's showing no service ?
EDIT : It's showing my carrier now after I toggled 2g/3g in the Network Settings.
I am from the Philippines and I bought a used S6, when I checked model name in settings prior to buying it it showed SM-G920F. I wanted to update to 6.0 though so I looke up some stock roms on SM-G920F however I just keep getting an error. Thats when I found out, in download mode that what I really have is a SM-G920P which is locked to Sprint.
It recognizes my sim fine as I do have a signal but initially I cannot send a sms nor do I have a mobile data. I have resolved tthe sms issue by going to mobile networks in settings and flipping my preferred network from cdma/lte to automatic. That resolved my mobile data issue as well as I now have internet on my except but no hotspot or the mobile data icon in notifs.
Im ok with both functions usable now but my main problem is even if I do see a signal, I cannot ever make a single call. Once I dial a nimber it will show it is dialling then after a few seconds signal will go out and then dialling will stop with a message No sim.
Any tips? I am currently rooted and with the software version G920PVPS4CQA2. I have twrp recovery and busy box installed. I currently see SMART on the upper left side of my screen which indicates my carrier signal.
Badly need your inputs on this. Thanks in advance to all of you!
Attached a screenshot of my home screen. As you can see, SMART is indicated on the upper left of the screen which is my carrier. This means my sim is being recognized. But I cannot evwr make a call.
