[Q] 3g gps not working htc tilt 2 with t-mobile

hello All,
I got a AT&T HTC touch pro 2 (tilt 2) from my friend who had got it unlocked from AT&T as he got upgraded to a new phone. I am using a t-mobile prepaid on the touch pro 2. I have got couple of issues with it.
1. The UI responds very slowly.
2. The data connection icon displays E. When I called up the t-mobile customer care they response varies a lot. One says i need to unlock the device from AT&T and others says i will be able to use only Edge as its not a device provided by t-mobile.
3. The GPS doesnt seem to work. When ever i used Bing. It says that its not able to connect.
I have a request is there any customisable rom that would help in over coming these issues.
Regards,
Mahesh

Same here, but other way round
I have a T-Mobile TouchPro 2 I've been using an AT&T SIM in, and I can tell you exactly what's up- The ROM is probably trying to refresh stuff in the background and it's not working because it's expecting an AT&T SIM. Try another ROM. As far as 3G, not gonna happen. T-Mobile's 3G runs on different bands than the AT&T 3G. The T-Mobile SIM wouldn't even start up the phone if it wasn't unlocked. And I think the GPS settings might be wrong, try fiddling around with the COM ports in Settings, but make sure you make a note of what they were before. I'd recommend a custom ROM, not to solve the problems you speak of necessarily, but it runs a lot faster, and won't have all the AT&T bloatware that's kinda useless to you. Oh, and if you don't have Connection Manager setting everything up for you in your ROM, make sure you set your APN.

Bypassing T-Mobile's "Subscription Update Required"

So here's what I did:
Some 4-5 months ago, I purchased Tmos month-to-month plan. I did not sign any contracts. I simply got a SIM card and put it in my Nexus One and voila, everything worked just fine (data included).
The other day I decided to take advantage of TMos G2 for free and sign a contract. However, since I wanted to keep both SIM cards BUT use the old phone number (old SIM card) in the new phone (G2), I simply put the old SIM card in the G2. Guess what? The internet doesn't work. No matter what address I try to go to, I get "Subscription upgrade required" message. ('your data plan does not work with this device').
NOTE: I rooted my phone and am running CM7
So, what I was thinking of doing is the following:
1) Change the DNS to OpenDNS in resolv.conf (is this possible)?
OR
2) Change the IMEI code somehow (with gfree?) to match my N1's IMEI code. Is this possible?
OR
3) Call TMobile.
I'm at school right now so I'll try those, in that order, once I get home, but I would appreciate if anyone could tell me whether any of the aforementioned options would work.
Thanks!
edit: nvm, called tmobile, they just had to activate "android feature" on my plan, which is free.

what is this android feature you're talking about? is that the 20 dlls for android phones plan?

Newer android phones need an android web plans, even if u have those web on your sim the G2 IMEI reads your web plan and it doesn't recognize it.. so wat I'm trying to say is purchase android web plan

I think #2 on your list is illegal.

Since you got the G2 on contract, they automatically added the data plan. You need the data plan ported to your old number instead of the new one. Call T-Mobile, they will fix it.

Yeah, changing the IMEI of your phone is quite illegal. I highly recommend that you don't do that.

Unlocked Incredible 2 but data plan and 3g not working

Hi All ,
I had Vz droid Incredible locked. Last week i moved to att and so unlocked the incredible 2 with some unlock code . It started working on att network i'm able to make call and receive calls. But the data plan (mobile internet )and 3G is not working. Please do you have any suggestion on how to get this working.
Vivow HBOOT - 0.98 and android : 2.3.4
thanks
kevin.

You will never get data because the radio in the dinc2 can't pick up the frequencies of at&T's data network.

I thought you could get 2g speeds on ATT and Tmo.
Check in your settings to make sure you have all network settings set appropriately.

OP, are you running VZ's factory (HTC) ROM or custom ROM (Sense or ??) and was your DI2 unlocked by code via eBay or by VZW Global Support while you're on CDMA with Big Red?
Can you switch to GMS/UMTS setting - and check to see whether it's picking up AT&T and/or T-Mobile - and you are in the US, correct? Are you on prepaid or postpaid with AT&T and is data enabled on your account?
Mine was rooted & unlocked via VZW, and GSM voice/SMS worked fine - running SkyRaider, CS's lates CM7.2 & NJ's Sense2.1/3.0 stock roms - (E)dge or 2.5/2G data works on my AT&T Gophone SIM with data but won't work on T-Mo unless I subscribe/add the data option. For overseas travel, my China Mobile HK prepaid Sim worked great for voice, SMS & broadband on PAYG basis here in the US too - roaming on its partners, either AT&T or T-Mobile (it's on Edge/GPRS only, I think - as I don't need to run up pricey charges for broadband access, use WiFi when I'm on this CMHK account) - when we're in Bermuda last month, same Sim roamed on DigiCel and it showed 3G connection.
Most likely, you will need to clear cache & reset your DI2's browser settings, and maybe modify the APN to get broadband/MMS to work properly, assuming that you are provisioned properly ...

Thanks for your replies.
yes i did some APN settings and mobile internet worked. But working for only Edge data connection not for 3G. This phone is still having VZW ROM (android build), But if i root it and change the android to ICS, do you people think it will work on 3G.
I need to have 3G running on my phone because of att poor service, I'm using the micro-cell to get the att service at my home (micro-cell works with 3g phones). Any suggestion please.
thanks

Gsm for states

Just curious if anyone still checks in on here, so I would like to hear from successful users who use this device on att. My brothers phone is crapping out on him and doesn't have the money to get a new device. I know my inc2 is unlocked bc I used it while I was in Qatar but don't remember what rom I was running to use Gsm. I would like to use an AOSP rom vs sense but I will use whatever works. I read that skyraider is a good one. Thanks for any info and possibly include the APN settings I would need for att. Thanks.

I still check in here once in a while & this is from personal experience - we have 2 unlocked DI2 and use the GSM bands at home for backup & abroad for travel. Flashed DW's device with Sky Raider since Dec. 2011 and has been using it continuously and the ROM is solid for both CDMA and GSM usage. I go back & forth between TSM Sense 5.x and SR, apps will update to the latest as released via the (Google) Store - and if you need more internal Apps storage space, move them to the mSD card or you will run out of memory space. I recommend using a 16MB mSD card (which came pre-installed with earliest DI2 in the box from VZW)
VZW's stock ROM (AndyBone's stock rom, deodexed - as I recall) will work just fine with its bloatware removed/frozen but TSM or SR are much more responsive & smooth, and seldom crash or lock up. All 3 variants can switch back & forth between CDMA and GSM as needed, depending on your brother's "home location" on where to use this phone.
WiFi is great on this phone - if you are using this on postpaid AT&T (or T-Mobile) - you will need to be on a (shared) data plan and firmware restrictions in the Rom will limit you to 2.5G or Edge speed, as 3G speed is not available The only time that you will get 3G speed in the U.S. is if you are using a "foreign" (prepaid) Sim and that it roam on AT&T and can access 3G bands on the device. Data speed on T-Mobile is slow depending on tower locations & band(s) used - your own results do & might varied.
The APN settings are the common, universal ones for all Windows/Android devices so it's fairly easy to setup - just google for it. There is a hidden menu to access to edit the MMS & browser settings on the device, and remember to save it before exiting.
If your brother is going to use it on AT&T, make sure he can try & test out the (standard-sized Sim) device before committing to a data plan and/or long term contract, unless he is going on a prepaid GSM plan (StraightTalk or Simpe Mobile, etc.) - also, I believe this phone can be used on PagePlus Cellular, a MNVO provider using VZW's CDMA network.
If you have difficulties downloading AB's stock or TSM rom, please send me a PM and I will give you a private link to download it. SR's rom should be readily available.
Good luck !

Awesome thank you. Not too worried about 3g, he will have wifi in the dorm and most of the campus I'm sure. He's currently on my aunt's plan so data and all that is already on it. So you recommend skyraider tho? Which do you prefer to be better responsive, sr or sense 5?
Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Both wife n I using SR currently n most of the newest Android 4.x apps update installed easily on their own. It is more responsive and its easy switch back n forth in adverse conditions are what I depend the Rom for.
Do a full stock backup, full wipe n install SR to run it for real life use, make a full backup then full wipe, install TSM to run for comparison. Make. Backup then stick with 1 of 2 with the other as reserve. I think you will agree w SR as better choice but draw your own user conclusion.

Verizon VoLTE not working on pre-paid

I can not get HD voice to work on Verizon with my Nexus 5X. I just want to be able to be on a call and still use data. This feature (HD Voice) is available for pre-paid customers now, but I can't seem to get it to work. I have "Enhanced 4G LTE Mode" turned on, I went to my Verizon to turn it on and it says it was added and will be available to use within 15 minutes. I wait 20 minutes, reboot my phone and it doesn't work? I go back to my Verizon and it's like I never added it, so I go through the process again... Same results. I go to a live Chat and after 25+ minutes get referred to the 800 number. Now I've been on with Verizon fro 2+ hours and they are telling me it's because I have a non Verizon phone!?!? I explained to Verizon that if I put a Verizon sim card in my phone from someone who already has HD voice active on there account, that it works perfectly... Still on with them now any suggestions? Am I missing something?:eek Still on with Verizon. I have been transferred now. They now realize that Verizon's site is not adding the feature and that is why I have been transferred... Now I am on hold...

Does anyone have VoLTE on a 5X with Verizon?

Okay, so... Verizon explained to me that it's because the Nexus 5X is not compatible with VoLTE, but the Sim card from someone's phone that is compatible will make HD Voice work on my phone because the phone that I got the sim card from is compatible? WTF? Haha. So I asked her if I take my sim card put it in the phone that is compatible to activate it, it would then work? She said yes.... WTF kind of logic is this? Haha. IDK? I guess I will try that? and let you guys know? :laugh:

I have VZW postpaid and I have a N5X. The HD Voice definitely works, but it is a bit unreliable. My wife is on VZW with a VZW-branded S7 and most of the time when we talk it works but sometimes it doesn't and I can't really figure out why -- or if there even is a reason.
Did you go to Settings --> Wireless & networks More --> Cellular networks and turn on Enhanced 4G LTE Mode? I believe that is a necessary step, as well as making sure HD voice is active on your account.
Also, keep in mind that HD voice only works if you are calling someone else with a compatible phone and with it active on their account.

I have all the settings correct and as I stated above, it does work if I use someone else's Verizon Sim that already has HD voice activated, but I can't get it active on my account. I know it doesn't always work... I just want it so I can use Data whilst on a call. Btw I still am unable to get this working on my 5X, or 6P. I have now even activated a Verizon branded phone that it is already working on to my account and it still will not work, even on the Verizon phone it works on a different account... Wtf? Thanks for your input though
