telus htc desire with Fido - no 3G!!

Hi all,
I recently got a htc desire from Telus and used my old fido (not support 3G) sim to unlock the phone. Then later on i purchased a new fido sim that support 3G and of course have my plan changed to get 3G data, but i don't see the signal bar with 3G on top of it and when i try to use data (by checking email) without turning my wifi on, it doesn't do anything at all. Do you have any idea?? At first I thought i may have something to do with the branded version so I rooted and applied leedroid 2.2, but still having the same problem!!
I checked my phone and it's A8182 which supports 850/1900MHz carriers (including Fido!!) but mine doesn't work!! Please help!!

Hey everyone. New to Android and Desire.
I am about to purchase a Telus Desire.
I am on the Fido Network. How can I unlock the HTC Desire.
Most of the guys i PMed refered me to a website where i have to pay to have it unlocked.
No other way to unlock phone without paying?

No you have to pay to unlock the phone.

Afaik, you can only pay to unlock. Might be other options though.
This thread drew me in because I remember reading on some phone website that made the error of saying Android 2.2 was Fido instead of FroYo. Was kinda hoping this was the same mistake

I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6710085&postcount=3
so I think you dont have to pay if you follow the GoldCard procedure.
Please correct me if wrong, don't want to confuse others

No that just debrands the handset. The imei number is what is associated with the unlock. Not if its branded to a certain carrier or not.

Hello someone...
I know this is not my section but i think the same issue i have is been discussed here. So pls, help me.
I just got a Unlocked Telus Desire HD .. My sim is 3G Enabled. But the 3G signal is not showing ... shows the "E" instead.
Normally, my ISP automatically configures any device when the sim is inserted. But when i inserted my sim, i go the the message that "My device can not be configured automatically" So i had to enter the settings manually. Still the 3G wont show up.
I have tried.. Putting the sim in another device : It shows the 3G
I have tried ... Putting another sim in the DHD, still no 3G

make Factory reset, after device will factoried, operator automatically will give you latest settings
also you can try to change in Wifi&Networks - Mobile networks

- Enable always-on mobil dat... Select (this enables more power on some mobile networks)

Question about Arc S 3G

Hey, I have the L18i Arc S and am unable to get 3g thorough T Mobile or At&t in New York. Now my question is, would I be able to get 3G through any of the service providers by flashing a different ROM ? I know T Mobile frequency doesn't allow that so I guess the only choice left is At&t. Is there anything I can do to get 3G through At&t on my L18i Arc S ?

No, you should have bought a LT18a.
LT18i has no 3G connection is the states as it's missing the US specific frequencies for 3G and 4G/HSPA+

hey guys, i'm new to XDA. I didn't want to make a new post because it seems that my question has been asked. unfortunately my issue is a bit more technical, I recently bought a lt18a and for the past week I have not been able to get 3G to work. I found a work-around that Straight Talk works under AT&T network so I didn't have to pay their insane prices, but the 3G is not coming up no matter where I went. (I looked up an AT&T tower, drove there just to test out the phone and still nothing) I bought the SIM from straight talk's site and followed their direction on the APN settings I got EDGE to work but no 3G.
I have called straight talk but their infamous awful tech support was no use to me. I also check on other forums and still nothing.

Hello all. This is my first post as well and My friend has the same problem. I did research all over the web and i can't find a normal explanation to why it wont work on AT&T 3G HSPA + network. Does anyone have any info on this matter? All help is greatly appriciated.

If you set it to GSM only, then 3G is turned off/not in use. You need to set it to use WCDMA preferred.

<< GUIDE & Q/A AOSP LTE Issues US / Canada >>

Are you having issues with LTE on an AOSP ROM? Look here for information, and post any questions you may have about the subject.​
First, we need to debunk the carrier's explanation of 4g. The carriers will explain to you that if it says 4g on the stock ROM you are using LTE. That is NOT true, 4g on the stock ROM is actually H, or H+, which is technically 3.5g, and not LTE. The stock ROM displays LTE as 4g LTE
So the first thing you need to do is make SURE you are in a location that has LTE coverage. Go to your carrier's website and verify with their coverage map
Coverage Maps:
AT&T
Rogers
Bell
Telus
AOSP based ROMs display your true network connectivity as follows:
G = GPRS
E = EDGE
3g = 3g
H = HSDPA / HSPA
H+ = HSDPA+ / HSPA+
4g = LTE
For Canadian users, you MUST verify LTE / GSM / WCDMA is selected.
The Dialer Code is *#*#DATA*#*# (or *#*#4636#*#*). You will enter the Data Programming menu, to set it.
Here is an app that will access the menu for you:
LTEOnOFF
Reported ROMs the settings stick on reboot:
CM10
SlimBean
AOKP
Now you have to verify you are using the correct LTE APN settings, and if not, add it.
You can access your APNs by "System Settings => More => Mobile networks => Access Point Names"
Here are the LTE settings for ALL US and Canadian carriers:

Carrier? could you post your settings for help with the guide? If they look exactly the same, just say theyre the same...

I'm with Rogers, everything is the same except for the mms protocol. I left mine blank instead of Wap 2.0
I believe cm10 sometimes resets some settings back to default if you don't reboot after changing a setting. But I'm not 100percent sure.

fixed, thx

Will place in AT&T Index shortly.
Excellent job... noob

I'd like to mention that the LTE / GSM / WCDMA selection does not revert after every reboot on any Canadian S3 that I know of with CM10, and has never done so to my knowledge. If this is happening in other AOSP ROMs, it is a ROM specific problem.
The setting does revert to the default after a data wipe though.

Could users of other AOSP ROMs comment on does it stick on reboot?

I've been using Slimbean 2.6 and 2.7 for several weeks now and can confirm LTE is sticking. However I certainly don't think I'm getting the as high a LTE connectivity rate as with the stock rom.

There's so many factors that can contribute to that... too ambiguous to T/S.... It's a trial and error thing... Location, network traffic, and the modem you're currently running...

This is definitely true. Only way I can tell though with a degree of certainty is with a network monitoring app and the fact that I've got pretty standard area of operation.
I've been running kyanrom though for the past couple days and I'm back to getting a much higher degree of LTE connections. I guess while I'm at it, I can also confirm that LTE is sticking with kyanrom also.

Hello,
having LTE issues (Not getting LTE) with Task & Ktoonsez AOKP rom, I have it set to LTE/GSM (PRL) mode (*#*#4636#*#* menu) and when I go into settings>More>Mobile Networks>Network Mode, I have it set to: LTE/GSM/WCDMA mode, and all I get is H and H+ still. I have the LTE APN and have it selected, and still no luck. I had a SIM replacement from Virgin Mobile, but it didn't do any good. When I put it on LTE only mode I lose connection to my carrier. So I keep it on LTE/GSM mode, but still getting no LTE. Anything I can do to fix this? Thanks. It used to work when I had Team Insomnia's Jellybean rom, I had 4g but got no where near LTE speeds. Would this be a Virgin Mobile problem?

EDIT: I think I got it, I am on a Virgin Mobile Supertab (From old phone still being paid off) and changed from that older phone, that didn't have LTE, to the S3 , I went into my Virgin Mobile "My Account' and it showed my phones it only listed the HTC Legend I had few months ago, but not the S3 itself, and beside it saying this device runs on a HSPA+ network. I'm getting this fixed on Monday so I'll see what happens then. If somebody can do it sooner though if they have the same issue with Virgin Mobile/Bell, that would be great too. The system I guess still thinks that I have the HTC Legend which doesn't run LTE.

Anybody on the Bell network having signal problems while running AOKP? I can't seem to get my phone to run LTE and my signal drops randomly. I've wiped, fixed permissions, enabled the proper settings and still nothing.

[Q] Travelling to India, will my US S3 work?

I have the T-mobile branded (T-999) Galaxy S3. It is rooted and I am running a custom rom (Frosty Jellybean). I got the unlock code from T-mobile because I told them I will be travelling abroad (to India). So my question is: Can I just get a prepaid sim card from a mobile carrier in India and stick it in my phone and then enter the unlock code and will it work just like normal? Does anyone know if this phone is compatible with 3G or 4G networks in India for internet access? Do I need to be running any specific "international" version of a ROM, or will my custom rom work? Any advice would be appreciated (or if you can direct me to where to find such info). And before you ask, yes I did attempt to search the forums, but I got the following message..."Search is temporarily unavailable. We apologize for the inconvenience."
Thanks in advance.

Use the code they have you on a TouchWiz ROM. Not sure if it works with a variant of AOSP. If you have a T-999, then you cannot install an international ROM - it still doesn't change the fact that your phone is a T999.
Look up the frequency bands for India and find out if this phone will work with it 4G bands there.

Ok, thanks for the info so far.

Bobolinko, you are right that I don't know anything about APN settings. I did do a search and found how to access APN settings by going to Settings > more settings > mobile networks > access point names. Currently all I see there is the T-mobile US entry, I'm assuming you are saying that I need to hit the menu button and "+ New APN", then enter whatever info the mobile carrier in India gives me right?

I found India uses 900/1800 bands and 2100 for 3G. Minimal 4G coverage there currently. Specs for S3 show that it is compatible with all these frequencies so I assume I'm good to go if I can figure out the APN stuff.

I suggest you go complete stock . I send my old s2 with custom rom to my country nepal and later they have to pay to swith to stock rom for some continuous error becoz my brother dont know how to do it. So be in stock .

When I travel to Europe every year all I do is just put local provider sim card and works every time. All bi do is my phone needs to be unlock and never mess with apn. I use various phones like photon, blackberry, dumb phones, my touch etc.

Thank you so much for the above information. I'm finally getting ready to leave for my trip tomorrow and I tried entering the APN information as you described above. When I try to save it, it tells me "MCC field must be 3 digits" and won't let me save. Can you offer anymore advice?

How to lock H+ on Galaxy SIII with CM 11 (Data / Network Problem)

Hi to all​,
I got a network problem with my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy III (T999) with CyanogenMod 11, when I use the phone on HSDPA network (H+) and stop using the phone the device switch automatic to UMTS network (3g), I know this is "Fast Dormancy". The problem is the phone don't wakeup from 3g network (UMTS) anymore, resulting into no data and make/receive calls is not possible.
I have to manually restart the H+ connection or change to EDGE network (in EDGE the phone works good but data too slow) for use the phone. I try changing the base band versions, disabling Fast Dormancy, change system.prop and nothing help.
This is my actual setup:
Model: SGH-T999
ROM: CM 11 ( cm-11-20150208-NIGHTLY-d2lte)
Android: 4.4.4.
Base Band:T999UVUMJC and I try T999UVUENC2 first one work better in my area.
Kernel: 3.4.104
