hi,
i have a t mobile uk desire unlocked and debranded, i was using both t mobile and orange while in uk, i am in belgium now, i was using the uk sim but because of high roaming charge i changed my sim, i got base network sim, but everytime i turn on my phone it says limited service. anyone knows the problem? please help me.
i am using froyo( pays desire froyo sense v1.9).
That's strange. My new operator uses the BASE network and it works perfectly. However, since I've changed the sim card I get a sim card setting error during startup. Probably some phone settings that are automatically sent to BeNeLux Desires (Belgium Netherlands Luxembourg). But foreign devices need to configure it manually.

Ok Guys i struggled with this for a few days as o2 said they dont support the phone! Anyhow i managed to get it working via HTC HD2 settings - typical Mobile operators!
Please ensure that when entering O2 into the settings that the letter O is selected and not a zero.

Just to clarify, is this for 3G access in the UK? Contract or PAYG or both?
Thanks, because my O2 PAYG SIM will be arriving in time for me to use it with my Desire when it finally arrives...

I believe the APN will be
payandgo.o2.co.uk
for a PAYG Sim
It's reported that the Desire is coming to O2 on the 29th or April, hopefully they will be able to provide more support at that time.
I also had an issue with the Data Services settings with my O2 sim inserted. Each time I tried to connect via Wi-Fi to the Android marketplace, to log in you are required to sign in to your active Google account. I had one setup from long ago but I kept receiving an error stating that provisioning for Data Services was required and could not connect to the Google Server. I contacted O2 and stated that I was not able to automatically download O2 settings Data Services settings, they stated it was because they (O2) do not support this feature yet as they do not provide support the Desire, but they do provide automatic download of sim card settings for the HD2 atm.
I am in an area that has no 3G too.

Thanks for the info. I had got it from my other phone but forgot to update this thread...
When I stuck my O2 SIN in, it asked whether I was O2 monthly, PAYG or Tesco mobile and configured itself automatically. My SIM is only about a year old so if you have a really old SIM, it may be worth asking it to be swapped for a new one?

Are you using O2 PAYG (Prepay) and is it a 3G sim card?

Hey itsamac,
thanks for that handy bit of information, I have tried a newer sim card and now it seems to work with no problems and the data services are functioning as they should
I am currently in the process of transferring my current (old) number to a new sim card:

Nope on O2 Simplicity 20 and yes its a 3G card. I got last Easter.
Glad to hear you managed to sort it out.
can anyone confirm if o2 payg internet settings will work with the Desire or not?
I was told by o2 they didn't support the Desire on payg and so wouldn't be able to give me the settings.
Thanks
I'm on the o2 simplicity contract but my SIM card is 2G. They said they were sending me a new one but it's been over a week now. I'll give them a call today.
What can I expect different from my new 3G sim? Is it a faster connection?
Hi Guys,
The problem I have with all networks except in uk t-mobile, the other orange, vodafone, o2. When trying to connect to the o2 message pops up: "unable to connect to this network at this time. Please try again later" on t-mobile grabs network without any problem. The problems began when I came to the UK to Poland was all too dobrze.I change to GSM mode, but without effect only if o2 uk only when I set the GSM (PRL) range but appeared only in the city outside the city it was lost and only work network HSPDA.

I asked the operator if a phone is a phone is not on the blacklist he wrote that everything is ok
I hope that everybody will understand me because I wrote the translate: D
Thanks
Sounds to me like it's network locked to T-mobile UK, try using the sim unlocking tool here. The fact that it will work on t-mobile uk suggests there is nothing wrong with the hardware
Hey everyone,
I'm having the following issue: I have a Desire Z (from Germany, usually use it in Germany as well) running the latest Mimicry ROM (1.40). I recently bought an Austrian SIM card to use when I'm in Austria. When I do that, however, my phone thinks I am still roaming (as I would be if I were still using the German SIM card). Is there a setting that I am missing, somehow?
Thanks for the help!

Are you talking about small letter R that appears next to the signal strenght? I have this when I lost the singnal of my mobile network, because I can use other domestic networks without any extra charges. And it is simply national roaming.
Hello, I've got a brand new unlocked Samsung Galaxy Note II LTE yesterday and I have a bit of a problem. I have an Orange sim card but can't use it somehow, i have every other network selection (EE, o2, 3 etc) but no Orange selection in settings, and if I pick automatic selection and try to call or anything it says that there is no mobile connection. But on my previous android phone the orange sim card works fine. Any idea why?
Try apn settings.
Sent from my GT-N7100
nah,i mean when it's not the problem with APN, the ones which were set were on EE network (tried to change to Orange, still the same). When i try to call it says: "Mobile network not available". And when i try to search for networks it only finds 2 EE's, o2 - UK, 3 UK and vodafone UK. No orange or t-mobile or anything. And i can see my orange phone number in settings along with voicemail notification (which i can't listen to on this phone)
Didn't orange merge with t mobile to form EE anyway? Can you not use EE?
I know my mates t mobile pay as you go sim switched to EE automatically.

I don't think so, because on my other android phone i can pick orange or t-mobile network and on note II there's non of that and if i pick EE it says "Not registered on network"
Hey, I couldn't really find anything similar, so making a post. I have just moved to China and brought my HTC One X with me from the UK. It is a Vodafone contract phone, so it is unlocked but running the Vodafone brand software.
I have bought a China Unicom SIM card, of which calls and texts work fine, but there is no mobile data, it just says disconnected. When I go into the mobile data settings, it has the network operator down as China Unicom and network mode as GSM/WCDMA auto. When I put my Vodafone SIM back in there is also no connection.
It have checked the SIM in someones Chinese phone and it works fine.
I'm not really a phone person, I have never modded/rooted or done anything to change a phone, and my knowledge only goes so far, so hopefully someone can shed some light for me.

Done some quick fact check for this.
Not so sure did Vodafone UK offered HTC One X/XL (edeavoru / evita). However, both of them supporting 3G network frequency operate by China Unicom. Make sure your SIM card has access to their mobile network and have APN set correctly if they are wrong/undectable.

Setting the APN has worked, thank you, I thought I was going to have to buy a new phone
Check this
All I had to do to go to the Access Point Name ('APN') settings and change the Authentication Type from its default 'Not Set' to 'None'. After that, my internet is working fine.
It would appear this may be an issue common to a number of Chinese phones, so hopefully this will be of use to other people in the same situation.
It worked on my star N9599T (whats the difference Not Set and None? but it works!)
