When I try to USE another sim card, this says that the network unavailable
This is the issue with the service provider my friend. The phone is working fine.

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!
This is a weird one.
Just bought a Desire HD, the guy said it was unlocked. It come with a Orange sim card inside. It had a signal.
I took it out and stuck my giffgaff sim card in there and it says no signal, not "network locked".
So i tried texting my mate, and it sent some how after saying that it had no signal. So sometime later i get a reply saying "Sup" from him.
It still says no signal. I tried another giffgaff sim and that also says no signal. i tried a Tesco mobile sim and that says no signal.
And somehow, without the wifi on, it downloaded a htc update.
I then tried the original Orange sim and it still works.
What the heck is happening?
Thanks

Sounds almost as if it's network locked, or that the data network is set to use orange only Settings>Wireless & Networks > Mobile networks >network operators. If that doesnt work you could always try the advanced ace hack kit (Google it, as it's no longer available on XDA) to give you super CID which will allow it to work with any network.

Ive tried choosing 02 UK as the operator and it says "Your sim card doesnt allow connection to this network"
Now, I don't get this. I'm replying to this from my Desire that says "emergency calls only" without the WiFi on and not connected to anything. What the heck????

Is it rooted?
Sent from my Desire HD using xda app-developers app
Yes it is rooted. Well, it wasnt but it is now.
Bump.
My DHD is running:
Android 2.3.5
Sense Version 3.0
Software number 3.12.405.1
Kernel version:
2.6.35.10-g931a37e
[email protected] #1

Baseband version:
3.12.405.1 CL199157 release-keys
And it still says no signal with my giffgaff sim. But works fine with an Orange sim card.
Ive unlocked the bootloader just via the HTCDev site.
Please help...
Thanks
If you unlocked the bootloader to flash roms, relock it and unroot using the ace hack kit. It's going to save you a lot of trouble.
Regarding your giffgaff sim, no idea.
Google to see if there is a way to find out if you are actually sim unlocked.

Oh ok.
I wanted to try and flash anither radio to see if my giffgaff sim would work then, will it make a difference?

Nono..... Do not flash a different radio. Do not experiment. First find out whats up with your cell.
I edited the previous post.

Right, i have SuperCID, and that means unlocked? (hope i am right)
I shall check it again.

silly question but have you set the APN correctly ??????
noticed your already getting assisted on GG forums why do you need multiple forum assist ????
I need multiple forum assists as i dont know if it to do with the network and my sim or the phone.
The APN is set correctly, my phone shows no signal, all the time, with a giffgaff sim inserted.
But the very strange thing is that, sometimes it will let me use the internet. And i am not connected to wifi?
Ive contacted htc with my problem and they just said hard reset, which didnt change anything.
Still have the same problem...
And i cant find any solution...
Can anybody help me!?
Bump!??!?!?!?!
Have you tested a different sim on your phone? Does it work?
Have you tested your sim in another phone? Does it work?
Who do you think you should contact?

Need some help guys. I am based in Australia and swapped an iPhone for the Z Fold 3. Went through the usual connection process with my sim and esim whilst connected to wifi. All was well as it allowed calls and received calls when I was home. As soon as I stepped outside my home where it was trying to use the network, it does not work. It keeps saying not registered on network. Tried to manually select network via settings, checked all APN settings from the network and all is ok. Even tried 3 different carrier sims (Vodafone, Optus and Telstra) yet still no matter what this phone will never connect to any carrier network without wifi. From there I tried 3 different firmwares from Sam mobile just in case it had corrupt firmware. Both android 11 and 12 will not work. Need help guys please. Any suggestions?
Did you try calling the carrier or going online to their site and activate the phone? Not from Australia but I think it's worth a try.

Thank you can't leave your reply. May I ask what you mean? This is an unlock phone from what I've been made aware. Upon checking it on The Australian database to ensure it is clear, this appears to be unlocked to all networks. If you can be kind as to provide details on what you mean I am more than happy to follow your instructions and try. Thank you.

Strange thing, my first thought was maybe try different carrier SIM cards, but as you already did it has to be phone ..

Hi there. When I first got my unlocked phone and put in my Verizon sim, it worked right away. However, when I logged on to the Verizon site, it was showing my old phone with the new IMEI and the phone could receive calls but not call out. I called Verizon and asked them to activate which fixed the issue. Can't you call the carrier and ask if they can help you figure out why you can't call when on the cell network?
That is the same error I get here in the States if I try to manually connect to any roaming network (network other than T-mobile, the carrier I use).

It works on T-mobile, but it refuses to connect to any other network, and if I try manually to switch, it gives that same error message you get. Roaming is included in my plan for calls, text, and data, so it is supposed to work, but these phones have issues. I currently have the temporary fix on my phone for the T-mobile issue, so it has stopped flipping to "Emergency Calls Only" and back, but the fix prevents it from seeing other networks now. Whether it is Samsung or T-mobile who has to fix it, it needs to be fixed!
