No network UK - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

desire not working in base network belgium

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.

[Q] T-Mobile G2 on AU - Vodafone

Hi everyone,
i recently picked up a G2 on a US trip and am currently trying to set it up to work on the AU vodafone network.
i have gone through the sim "unlock" process, so it should be free to accept any sim card. (it also doesnt prompt me for an unlock code anymore, so im assuming it worked)
when i put the vodafone sim card in the phone, it detects the sim (there is the sim folder in the menu, with the vodafone sim options) and when i use "*#*#4636#*#* i see that there is something in the signal strength (-97dBm 8 asu).
BUT
when i goto settings ->wireless & networks -> mobile networks -> network operators i get an error saying "error while searching for networks"
any ideas?
Shouldn't this be in the G2 forum, not the DZ one ?
Thread moved to G2 General.
I am very interested to know how everything works out for you when you get it resolved.
Im moving to Melbourne from San Francisco in 3 weeks and I am on the fence if I should get a Iphone 4 or a HTC g2
*currently own a HTC Evo ..sadly i have to sell it

welcome to the club my friend
Unfortunately we have the same issue as you but we haven't find a solution yet. So far i have figured out that the phone after unlocking cannot read properly CID and MNCMCC codes from sim.

jee... sounds like the club to be in
5 days now i am trying for a solution. So far nothing to say. Just that users with same problem increase day by day. This might be good as htc will have to pay attention.
i dont know if its me, or if anyone else has noticed this, but if you change the band (auto - USA - Euro - Japan - Aus - Aus2)
then go and try to search for networks, the speed that the error comes up is different... its always the same error though....

You are right about that.
hi, i guess i need to join this club .. any progress for the solution?
I'm using a G2 on Vodafone AU and having no problems at all ...
If I click search networks it sort of just stops immediately with VodafoneAU down the bottom.
The one issue I'm having is that numbers are formatted for US ... anyone know how I change this?
I'm not sure if this is a real long-shot but I had some strange problems with my old Vodafone sim in a HTC Magic. I ended up just going into a Vodafone store and asking for a new SIM and the problems vanished immediately. They give you a new SIM on the spot free so it may be worth a try?
Is your phone working unlocked with the tmobile sim? If it isn't you're got the problem a lot of people have been having with unlocking the G2.
Otherwise, try rebooting your phone with your AU sim search for networks automatically and enter your APN settings. Alternatively if it doesnt find networks, go to Vodafone to get a new sim card. I'm also on Vodafone and I'm not having any problems with my current Tmobile Phone (Cliq) and G2 coming in the mail
Fixed by rooting and gfree
Hi! I had this exact same problem: unlocked a T-mobile G2 bought in the US so that I could use it on Greece's Vodaphone network. After unlocking and trying to check for networks, it would just say "Error while searching for networks".
Solution: I found the solution here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Subsidy_Unlock.2C_SuperCID.2C_and_Radio_S-OFF which describes an extra security measure that was taken on these phones and why you get this error because of it. The fix, described in detail on that page, involves routing your phone and then running a program to change this security "feature".
I followed the directions on that wiki page and it worked perfectly! It now connects to my vodaphone network here, and can see other networks that are around.
Note that as this is altering the software on your phone, it probably voids any warranty. But, I'll say with my US t-mobile G2 it worked very smoothly.
Hope this gives some insight to any others having this problem!

I believe Vodafone are the only company that downloads the APN settings automatically. For other networks you need to phone them up and they will send the APN settings to the phone manually.
Orange sent me mine automatically as it was an unbranded phone.
Google should provide you with the answers anyway
If the phone is unbranded it should ask you the network the SIM card is on as the phone already has the APN details in it

No Manual Selection of Network

Hello I have an odd problem. I have an unlocked ZL which has been working fine on AT&T in the US. I travel to London a lot and have the international data option on my account and has always worked fine with my other phones. However after arriving in London my phone is stuck on Everything Everywhere (EE) and they don't have a roaming agreement with AT&T. This would be an easy problem to solve by manually selecting a different network but this is my problem. On my phone network selection, below, APN is not showing up. I originally thought this may have been disabled by the original network (Indonesia I believe) so I flashed the US generic firmware and Nordic but nothing I do makes it show up. Anyone else have this problem or solution?
Thanks

Its DISABLED by your AT&T sim not the phone. If you notice by putting another Sim (Non AT&T) You can then use network search. Also ANY AT&T Branded Phone Network Search is LOCKED. I know your ZL is not AT&T branded but your SIM is which is causing it to lock it. My disapers when using an AT&T Sim, But when putting a T-Mobile USA sim or Orange UK sim BAM Network search shows up..
Also I think AT&T has Agremeants with EE , as EE can roam on AT&T here in the USA, EE is basically ORANGE UK, If they did not have aggremeants your phone WOULD NOT connect to the network. Make sure your data roaming is checked..
Thanks you are correct. Crazy considering they wanted me to manually select a network other than EE.
They're support is sometimes ehh. If they had never been out of the county they probably won't know. How is it over there . Always wanted to go.

Question Calls do not work when roaming

Setup:
sim: O2 - UK
e-sim: Orange - PL
I'm currently in Poland
Everything has been working fine until some 3 days ago. Since then:
O2 UK is showing as fully properly connected to a local network (roaming)
I can receive and send text messages via O2 UK (roaming)
Nobody can call me on my O2 UK number
I cannot make calls using the O2 UK number (I'm getting "the service you are trying to use is not available for this number" - in Polish and English, so presumably from the Polish roaming operator)
The O2 UK simcard has no issues in my old Oneplus mobile phone (it does take some 10min to work fully), so I know that roaming works. O2 have also confirmed that the roaming is unrestricted for me and they see no issues on their side.
I have tried manually selecting the network with little success (it keeps disconnecting and then switching back to automated selection).
Any ideas or similar experiences? :-/
Try forcing it to use hspa network, disable volte, etc.
