I bought a HTC Desire branded to Orange UK trough eBay when i was working there last month. The First thing i did was to debrand it using the 1.15.405.2 that i found on MoDaCa, and i bought a unlock key on eBay. This solution worked pretty well until the OTA update showed up, the i got the known WiFi issue. That was no biggie either, just installed the RUU of the 1.21.405.2 and the new Radio, and everything seemed to be perfect again
BUT THEN, two days ago, my phone suddenly lost it's connection to the my mobile operator . I tried to swap my sim card with another sim card, and the result was that my HTC Desire wouldn't get connection while my sim card worked well in the other phone. I also browsed trough my menus to try to find something that might be wrong, but no luck. If i tried to connect to my mobile operator manually, i got a message saying something like "SIM-card doesn't allow connection to this network".
Yesterday morning, i called HTC to try to find out if this might be a hw or sw malfunction, and he advertised me to do a factory settings restore and felt pretty confident that it only was the sw letting me down. I did as he suggested and boom, it worked...for about 5-6 hours, then it came back. As if that wasn't annoying enough, a factory settings restore didn't do the trick this time, and neither did a reflash with the goldcard. I even formated my mSD to be sure there wasn't any kind of virus on it.
So please, if anyone in here got a tip regarding sw, let me know. I'm helpless without my dear phone...
Hmmm this is my biggest concern... I'm just about to buy an ebay Orange Desire and flash it with a stock ROM and unlock it.... kinda worrying as I'm no Linux man really...
im not sure if its the same thing but i have lost conection to t mobile on my desire twice now. first time was fixed by re entering the apn. this time no change. the differance is mine is un branded. i also cant do mms any more.
Unbranded and debranded, same ****, isn't it? Niter means branded...
Seems like i'm not the only one with this problem: http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/topic/5...nt-re-connect/page__view__findpost__p__405655
Lots of Vodafone users in that forum has similar issues, but most of them seems to have a workaround by turn off the back on, or go by airplane mode to get signal back, tat doesn't work for me. I tried to flash my phone once more, but still no luck.
I'm considering a root operation and install android 2.2 aka froyo, but i'm not even sure if that is possible since i got the bootloader version 0.80...
ive just got mine working again by resting the apns to default.
mms still not working though. i hope its not a voda problem i just paid off t mobile a years contract to join voda due to terrible reception and crap tech support.
what is that, and how do you do it? I would guess that a reset to factory default and/or a complete reflash would take care of such, whatever it is...
Yep I was about to ask the same thing! what is it and how do you turn it on/off?
go to settings - wirless & networks - mobile networks - access point names - then press the menu key and hit reset to default.
hope this helps you
That did the same thing as a "reset to factory defaults", but still doesn't work
I've an unbranded unlocked desire on 3 UK with original firmware and mine does drop out occasionally but always comes back perhaps its a desire quirk !

Suppose so, but unlike you and many others, mine doesn't come back I was hoping for a fix for this issue, but i'm afraid were talking about hw malfunction, let's hope i'm wrong...
Little update, just followed this guide, but that didn't change anything. As far as i know, i now got some kind of rooted version of HBOOT 0.75 and fw.ver. 1.15.405.4, dunno about radio version. But it also says that i'm not able to install a custom rom with this rooted version, but i might be able to completely root it now and then install a custom rom?
Yet another update, i did install the 2.2 Froyo following this guide, and unlike the HTC roms, this one indicates that i do have full/optimal connection to my mobile operator, but it still won't let me call, just replies with 'Mobile network not available'.
I kinda courages me to scream out loud ****!!! Yes, i mean it...
Feedback would be nice
Just a thought, may i be that the guy i bought the phone from could have reported it as stolen with the intention of getting an insurance fee? And as a result of that, my phone have been closed by the operator? Don't even know if they mind doing such across the border. So the question would be: Is there any way to find out if my phone has been remotely closed?
Call your carrier.... they will be able to tell you if the phone is connecting to the nextwork correctly... ask them if not... why not?
I second that suggestion, try calling your carrier. Also I have found that switching the internet on directly through settings rather than using the widgets solved my connection problem.

Yep, i got contact with the seller from eBay, and he is very helpful, so he will do what he can while i will call my carrier first thing in the morning. Seems like there might be a glitch here, but i'll keep you updated on my progress.
argh, it seems like i wont get anywhere with my phone. I'm considering trying to change the IMEI, i know it's illegal, but i paid £360 for this device, and atm it's useless to me. If i only knew how tho change the imei, not exactly easy information to obtain, not even with google...

So have you found out why your having problems?
ah, sorry, thought i already told u guys, lol. Well, for some reason the phone is IMEI locked. The seller says that he did call to lock a sim card when he lost his iphone, and it might be related since it's the sim that was suppose to be in my phone. however, i think he either claimed the phone stolen to commit insurance fraud, or it's simply stolen. Another thing i came across was that the operator might blacklist the phone if it's unlocked without their blessing, don't really know if they can do that.
Either way, the only way for me to make this phone work is to convince the police that it's not stolen (i need a recite for that which he won't provide me), or to change the imei code with my "awesome" hacking skills...
Hi there
I'm trying the
*#*#2432546#*#*
*#*#checkin#*#*
code on the phone dialer, on my htc desire stock rom on Orange, people are reporting that it created a notification saying 'Checkin successful' and a triangle icon in the top bar. But Im not getting anything at all. I type the code in and after entering the last * the code dissapears and I get no notification or message.
Can anyone confirm that on Orange this code does not work?
I've just tried it on my Orange de-branded with stock ROM and I get nothing either. What is the 'Checkin' anyway?
I thought it was INFO
*#*#4636#*#*
Its one of the method people are using to check for OTA updates, the other method being settings>About Phone>Check for updates
the code I believe is a 'checking in' service that looks for updates from google rather than htc or the carrier. Although I might be wrong on that aspect.
I've read a few people using the code and recieveing key updates (such as the update to 1.21 (im on 1.15)
its a bit of a mystery at the moment, still learning my way around the android OS, and tinkering as much as possible.

Not working on my Asia 1.19 Desire...
tried it on my desire (orange stock rom). nothing happens.
sounds like a bummer, looks like we'll play the waiting game with htc and orange as to when the OTA update gets pushed out. Either that or switch ROMS which IM not that keen on doing, other than stripping out all the crud that Orange put on the build, I mean come on Orange if I don't want your game demo's I should be able to remove them.
Orange have said that the update may not even come if they can't get the branding to work alongside it. I ended up de-branding too, and I guess it's not working because there isn't an update?

Orange said that?, what an incredible stance to take, cripple the whole android OTA experience simple so they can slip in some bloatware and subsidised demos that no-one ever uses anyway. the two most useful apps for Orange 'Orange Wednesdays and Your Orange' arn't even part of the initial orange software they're both found on the marketplace.
Looks like I'll be debranding soon then, im more than a little annoyed at Orange.
Im not fully surprised that the Froyo OTA update isn't available via Orange yet, however on T-Mobile, my girlfriend has no update pushed out to her Desire , whereas my buddy also on T-Mobile got the OTA update 2 days ago, both on stock roms, so the OTA isn't necessarily limited by carrier. I expect this has been talked to death in other threads mind you.

Hi Guys!
I have the australian Desire because of the 850MHz 3G frequency needed in my country. I upgraded to froyo (not rooted device) "in the air" and got this:
- Android 2.2 version;
- 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20 baseband version;
- 2.6.32.14-gf9c0527 kernel version;
- 2.09.405.8 CL218634 release-keys;
- 2.09.405.8 software version;
- wbekit 3.1 browser version.
Besides the sometimes poor reception of the radio I´m also having notifications problems:
1- The phone, when in vibrate mode, doesn´t receive calls, the phone do not vibrate at all going to "not available" for the person who calls me and a missed call symbol appears on the notification area.
2- The phone do not ring at all in normal mode and a missed call symbol appears on the notification area.
3- SMS messages do not ring and/or vibrate when in normal/vibrate modes, specially when the threaded messages are opened.
This problems occours randomly, sometimes occours and sometimes not.
Is there anyone also having this?
Thank you all!
Are you locked to Telstra? I didn't think they had upgraded to Froyo yet, because I've got one, and just checked.
Anyway, I've rooted the device (using Unrevoked) and installed OpenDesire on it, and don't have any of the problems you're having. However, if you don't want to void your warranty, I can see the reasons for not wanting to root/flash your phone.

No, I´m not locked to Telstra. When I bought it on eBay I did simply put my chip from Vivo on it and started talking. I do not care about warantie, I just like the HTC widgets and messages, email, dialer and other stuffs and don´t want to have an instable OS, or a modifyed one with icons and stuffs that don´t have the "factory default appearance", got it?
But I have not discarted rooting my device...
Is your from Telstra too? Was it locked?
Thanks!
Australian Desire in Brazil
cristianomc,
I'm no expert, but since you updated your desire 'over the air' I wonder if you have firmware from your mobile carrier that is incompatible with the telstra firmware that was on the telstra branded desire?
Telstra Froyo updates are not out yet, but should be in a week or two.
These would be available 'over the air' in Australia, but perhaps they would also be available online from HTC or telstra.
HTC had a telstra update some months ago for the desire and posted it here : www*htc*com/au/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=941&news_id=640
Perhaps you should check this page in a week or so and see if the Telstra 2.2 update is there for download and try insalling that over the top?
Alternatively, since you haven't "rooted" your phone, but just used an incompatible 'over the air' updtate in Brazil, e-mail htc support, and they may be able to help?
Good luck,
Richard

Guys, I am having this problem of random rebooting. I first thought it was random but then noticed that whatever ROM I use, this reboot happens when network signal is lost.
Now i read every thread and discussion google could give me on this problem but cant seem to figure out how this happens. I wanted to substantiate my find, hence ran logcat for few hours. Now i cant seem to understand what it means.
Can anyone please take a look at the attached text file or reason out how and why this happens. Is there a pattern I am missing?. All i notice is that my phone vibrates in my pocket after an hour when it is preparing the SD card after a reboot. Thats it
Thanks in advance.

OK I found that defy is rebooting on no network and I was able to replicate the same situation. Is there any fix to this issue. Can anyone look into the code and tell me a tweak where the phone reboots because there is very less or no signal. It happens even if phone is kept in 2G/3G/Automatic.
Here is similar thread in motorola support forums
https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/40973?start=0&tstart=5
Have noticed posts about this -- and in fact it's not restricted to Defy by any means, though overall not that common. Even the Nokia N8 forums occasionally mention the problem. The most successful cure seems to be swapping out the SIM. This does not appear to work for everyone, but generally people are so imprecise on forums it's really hard to know if they just pulled a SIM from another phone (so, being as old or even older than the one they were using), or used a new one. So, if you have not already, I would get a new SIM, "approved" by your carrier and try it. Otherwise I would return the phone.
Thanks mate. Yes I read a lot about sim being changed but no where did I see it being solved. I have spoken to motorola support and plan to send it next week. Anyway I will change the type of sim once to see if it makes a difference. I hate my phone being ripped open here because I have very less confidence in these authorised centres who deal with every damn phone.
Thanks again.
I really have tried to avoid posting but I'm really not sure what to attempt next. I've been through a few threads on the XDA as well as trawled Google but I've not really come up to much.
Basically my One X has been fine since I got it up until the last couple of weeks, I'm not entirely sure if that coincided with a software update or any other changes I could have made but I never seemed to have a problem initially.
I've been using GO SMS since I got the phone, but having just re-installed the app to no avail and having just tried the exact message within a 60 second window through the standard messager it still did not send. This has happened in alternative locations too, so it doesn't appear to be signal based on where I am. After the 4th attempt and the message would not send I put my phone into Airplane mode to reactivate the sim, after doing so and turning it off the message sent.. So it might even be network related.. I've no idea! I've removed the sim card and left it for a few minutes to see whether when it's reinserted if there is still a problem, failing that though I am out of ideas!
Just for your reference I am with Vodafone, totally stock phone as it comes out of the box running the updated 1.29.401.11 software
Any help greatly appreciated.
