Mobile internet doesn't work!

I don't know what happen to my desire, the mobile internet just did not work!
Wifi is still functioning.
But when I clicked the mobile internet check box, it keeped showing turning on, but could not link to the 3g network.
Could anyone give me any suggestion? Thx!

I assume you're on Orange UK??
They got problems

I use Vodafone NL.
Actually the 3G worked pretty good until today. So I assume this might be some hardware problem. Can anyone help me or I need to bring it back to HTC?

you can try resetting the apn settings
settings -> wireless and networks ->mobile networks -> apn
click menu and select to reset it
if that doesnt work open up the phone dialer
enter *#*#4636#*#*
turn the radio off
wait 20 seconds
turn the radio on again

Oops, apologies.
"He assumes too much!" (or something )

yep im orange too and mobile internet has be totaly pants

The problem is solved when I reset the APN setting!
Thanks a lot!
Apologizing for my "assuming!.

When this happens to me I find going to flight mode then back usually fixes it. Sometimes have to reset the phone though.

Hi Bilbo Fraggins - I'm on Orange UK and I've noticed the response and service on my Desire has slowed down over the last week or so. It was perfect up to then for the first month. I'm also having issues with mail synchronisation through Exchange Active Sync but thats another topic.
Whats the problem with Orange? IS it a temproary thing? I was thinkingof calling them but thought it was probably just my device. Cheers.

I've had no mobile data at all since Wednesday night.
My last call to them was yesterday and they said their GPRS network was down or something but should be back within a couple of days.....

Having said that ....
I just reset my apn as above and I'm back in business
Thanks for the tip, seems it wasn't Orange, despite them saying it was ....

I've had my Desire for nearly a month now and the internet has been consistently inconsistent the entire time.
I'm on Orange UK... is it likely to be my network or my device? I can usually depend on GPRS but 3G/HSDPA are flaky at best with the standard rom and no changes to stock settings even though I'm in central Manchester.

I had a similar experience and I am also on Orange UK. My connection kept dropping and I even had problems getting a normal phone signal. I ended up hard resetting my phone and its working great again. No problems all day. It was easy to do too. I think it must've been a program I installed.

[Q] ORANGE - data drop on all roms

Hi All,
(if this has been answered before, i have tried searching and couldn't find the answer)
I have a debranded, unlocked, rooted orange htc desire running on pays froyo v1.8
the radio i'm running is 32.43.00.32u_5.09.00.20 as advised by most devs that create the roms.
since debranding my phone my 3g connection has been really unreliable. specifically it drops off, I then have to go to airplane and then back on and it works or reboot. It has been the same across all roms i've flashed.
has anyone else had this problem? and is it a software issue or should i get a new phone because its hardware?

Is it just 3G? Does it stay on if you force it onto GSM only?
My Orange branded but unlocked device would miss calls, not send SMS and couldn't even call voicemail when it was acting up. This went away if you forced 2G.
Problem has gone away now though. My workmate had the same issues on Orange, see is thread on Android foums here.

Yep, I have the same problems now. I was originally using vodafone, but switched as they annoyed me. Now the data connection with orange is extremely erratic and sometimes I lose signal all together.
It's the same on both LeeDroid and Modaco.

Same problem here. Have to reboot the phone to get the connection back. Using OpenDesire.

But is on both 2G and 3G?
Try dropping the handset into GSM only.

Yeah, both. I had Orange send me a new sim. Now I can connect to 3g, but sometimes it just refuses to recieve any data. At least I actually have a signal though.

Me too. What i'd like is for someone still on the stock orange rom to send us their build.prop file. Anyone?

How is your 3G connection since latest radio install?

This isn't related to any particular ROM as I have tasted this with various sense and none sense ROMS... Has anyone since using the latest radio had issues with connecting to 3G or having very strange fluctuations, where the signal might go dead completely then back up to full?
I seem to be experiencing this with 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20

nope seems fine with mine. OD rom in Australia

The mentioned Radio is really poor in 3G Network. Especially change between 3G and EDGE. When I disconnect from Wifi it too often doesnt connect to the GSM or 3G again - the bars are there, you can phone but cant use data connection.
I hope there'll be a updated radio soon!
Im not happy with 5.09.00.20.

Hi,
I'm also experiencing a poor 3G connection with this radio.
I'm not happy with that.
Vodafone Spain, also same while itinerance in Portugal, USA.
Best

this radio has been absolutely fine for me.

having poor reception at singapore here too...
should i downgrade the radio?

Working best for me. From Malaysia.

Not working at all well for me. All was working great until I flashed to this radio. I'm now experiencing complete signal drops at least once an hour, have to toggle airplane mode to re-enable.
I tried rolling back to each other radio bar the first 3 or 4 with the same result.
Could it be something else or am I missing something when rolling back the radio?

It works fine for me as long as I stay in Copenhagen, but I've experienced losing signal altogether when travelling, this didn't happen before, so I think it's because of the radio.

I have a weird issue where I never seem to be able to access the Internet in any way until the connection icon changes from "3G" to "H". Is this normal? I haven't noticed this on the stock radio but then I didn't keep it that long...

Still having this "issue". Anyone else?

New version is working really better here.

Where could one get that version? And is it supposed to work on any ROM without breaking it?

I have the 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 radio and am on Telus.
I have the same issue as you. When the icon shows 3G my internet doesnt work at all but as soon as it changed to H (bang) full speed internet..
It did it for me on the 32.43 radio but not on stock. Anyone know what the stock Telus Radio is?

Guys you do know on telus we dont have a 3G network its strictly "H" that would be why your internet does not work. I would like to know how you managed to get stuck in 3G as i never have.

I have no idea - i just updated radio and rom to 2.2 Official (but rooted) - i entered the apn settings from the telus website.
When on internet things will be fine, internet loading (H in task bar) and then suddenly it will turn to the 3G icon and internet will freeze until the H icon comes back. Strange...

When i go into the settings and check my phone model it says its a HTC Desire A8181 - i checked the internet and this model is 3G Dual-Band 900/2100MHz.
Before i flashed a 2.2 rom my model showed as HTC Desire 8182, which is 850/1900 3G.
Could this be why its getting stuck on 3G instead of H?

My model also displays HTC Desire A8181 and I'm running a 2.2 ROM.
I don't remember what it said before on the Telus stock rom, but I could try flashing it back to see, since I have it in backup.

If you could try flashing it back that would be great - i think i have my Nandroid backup but its on my works computer...

Can't turn Desire on from standby

Hey.
I have a big problem with my desire. The phone is fully working, but when it goes into standby, and I try to turn it on using the "power button" at the top, the keys light up, but nothing comes on the screen It just doesn't turn on again.
Any ideas? Thanks!

In the general section on the desire forum there is a topic related to defective proximity sensor. i,m a new forum-user so i can't make a link yet

Thanks for the help so far, but couldn't find anything that solved my problem :/ Have to restart the phone every time it goes into standby

Like many others, I am also experiencing this standby-of-death (SOD) problem: the lights in the buttons under the screen turn on, but the screen itself stays black. I have found out that it has to do with switching from 3G to 2G networks: the problem occurs after I have been at places where there is no 3G signal, but only 2G. For example, after a car trip or when going into the basement.
A workaround for this problem, is to type the code *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer. You will then end up in a hidden menu. By choosing "Phone information" (first item) and then scrolling down in the next screen, you can change the "Preferred network type". By default, it was set to "WCDMA preferred" on my phone. After I changed this setting to "WCDMA only" (so, 3G only), I have not seen the SOD issue anymore (for 4 weeks now, before it happened almost daily).
A disadvantage of this workaround is that the phone will never use 2G anymore. So, when you are at a place where there is no 3G signal, you will be disconnected (i.e. you cannot receive phone calls). As an alternative, I have now reverted the setting to the original value ("WCDMA preferred") and I have installed an older radio image (version 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2), which is considered to be more stable by many people. I'll test and see whether the problem reoccurs. If the problem stays away, it is apparently a software (radio image) issue. If not, it must be a hardware issue.
Anyway, if anyone has additional information about the root cause of this standby issue, please let me know!

OMG I love you!
Seriously this has been doing my head in for weeks! I have posted a couple of times in this forum. First time, constantly remvoing and replacing the battery left me with a bricked phone. HTC revived it under warranty but after a week I got sick of Sense (and the poor battery life) and tried rooting again (tried Redux and CM7) but the problem came back. Makes sense because it works fine around Bristol (loads of 3G) but constantly SODs in Bournemouth (flicks between 2G and 3G at my desk). Also, just had data off for a few hours and didn't get SOD once.
I am not up on the lingo yet as I am fairly new to rooting but running Baseband version 32.49.00.32H_5.11.05.27. Is this the radio?
Please keep me posted on the older radio version. Shouldn't need a long test period, just need to go from a known 3G area to a known 2G area while locked.

Baseband version 32.49.00.32H_5.11.05.27. Is this the radio?

Yes it is the radio.
I have got GingerVillain (Based on CM) and I use the Power Control widget to switch between 2G and 3G. You can customise the widget (just add it to a screen) to get this feature.
I haven't got any 3G around my house so I don't need to activate it all the time .

Yeah Redux has a similar thing so I will use that until a proper solution is found.

Small update: enabling 2G only didn't fix the issue (I think 3G only is okay) so perhaps the issue is with 2G rather than switching between the two.
Instead I am using an app called "3G Data Only!" so that 2G can still be used for calls but not data, working great so far.

I have tied the latest Radio (32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23) and the problem does not go away.

How come this problem doesn't occur to (many) others? Could it be related to your network provider? Maybe you could change the SIM with another, from another network, and see what happens. Also, you could make use of the phone warranty - if it's still covered by it.

On o2 (in UK) right now, will try out another sim later. As for warranty, never had any issues on non-root Froyo Sense so can't do anything.

I have tried 2 different sim cards, same provider, but the problem persists.

Try to change the network, say, from O2 to 3 or Vodafone. If your Desire is branded, there is a free way to unlock it - just look for Desire SIM-Unlock utility in the forum, by sieempi

Been running radio 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 for a couple of days now and the issue seems to have gone away.

I also have this SOD issue with the older radio ROM versions, so installing an older version is not a solution.

I can confirm that. I have tried most of the radios listed here and here, they all have the SOD issue.

Great, I'll try this application! Would be very nice if that fixes the problem without disabling 2G phone calls. I never use 2G for data (too slow anyway), but I would like to be able to still make phone calls when out of range of 3G cells.

It might be, I don't know. I'm using a Telfort SIM, connected via the KPN network (Netherlands).

3G data only works a treat for that, you can make calls.
Found with the old radio that it is a lot more stable than the new radio but not 100% perfect. Where I work I only have 2G and it would SOD all the time but now it doesn't. However on a journey I make with intermittent 2G/3G I did get a SOD.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

3G Data Only doesn't work well enough. The SOD issue does occur less frequently, but the phone still hangs sporadically. So, if have disabled 2G completely again.

You should try Insertcoin. I haven't had this issue since I started using IC v32 a2sd.

Hi there. So i get the same thing on mine. I thought I should report my experience.
Had it over a year old then all of a sudden it started acting like this
heres what i tried
Factory reset, rooted it twice, boot with no sim, no SD card, dismantled it via instructions I found on an android forum to check for loose connections, gave it to a friend who ran some different roms, overclocked it, underclocked it. Its currently on the Oxygen rom, no difference. I tried the secret menu from page one of the comments. I tried living with leaving the screen on for 30 mins..but its so impractical
I should add that if i leave it for say a couple of hours, the damn thing comes on just fine. Its only from being on, to off, then back on..
I think its hardware related, maybe something to do with the power being held back for the screen or something. All i can say is that its really doing my tits in and i'm currently using my old phone which is functional but not as fun.
What can i do next...send to HTC, i'm out of warranty but their repair centre can still have a look, or buy a faulty phone off ebay and harvest some parts...
I dont want to give up on it, because apart from this the phone works fine.

guys i had this problem too, when i force to use 3G only everything works perfect but in area with no 3G signal your phone become useless cuz you are out of network, i also had a self-rebboting problem and i sent my lovely desire to htc repair center, they replace mobo and now i am waiting to receive my phone back and i will test this issue, if everything will works correctly in 3g/gsm etc you guys need to do the same and sent your phone to repair,

[Q] Cant connect to mobile network but WIFI works fine?

Edit:Re-reading Im thinking the topic name might be a bit unclear, when i said mobile network i meant mobile internet.
Hi there, I was wondering if anyone could help. My wifi works fine but i cant connect to mobile internet at all.
I have had my phone for quite a while now but havnt really had any need to use the internet while im out and about and have relied on wifi so I cant be sure if my mobile internet actually ever worked or not but when i try to connect i get the messages: turning on..connected...connection failed or the connection just vanishes instantly.
A bit about my phone:
Running RCMixHD 2.0
S-off and rooted
current baseband:32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27 but have tried the latest radio with no change.
Network: Orange UK
I have spoken to orange and have set the APN to their recommended settings.
At a loss as to what to try next? any help really appreciated
Paul

Tried a few more radios still with no success...really no idea what else to try here guys, any ideas?

It could be the rom. I've it before where I've had the same radio and tried different roms. Some work, some don't. You could just reflash the rom you have without wiping anything.
I rung Orange when I lost my actual network signal and I had to ring them about 10 times just for someone to say that one of the masts was down in my city. Proper retards they are.

Indeed, orange arnt known for their brilliant customer service. I think 1 in 10 of the staff you speak to actually have a clue.
Anyways thanks for the reply, it was indeed the rom...thought it might have been but wanted to exhaust every other option first. All fixed nowthough, thanks again.
