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.

UK HTC One X, no mobile data China Unicom

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!)

HTC One's MVNO Setting

Hey guys, I'm wondering if anyone know how to access the MVNO setting (mobile virtual network operator type) within APN of the HTC One M8.
I live in Australia and currently on the Virgin Mobile Network which is a MVNO of Optus. I was on a M7 and recently bought a M8 off a friend for cheap. However when I have installed the nano SIM, I can only make calls and texts and could not get the internet to work even when the APN settings are correct. I took it to the Virgin Mobile store and they have also tried playing around with the APN settings with no luck.
The odd thing is that when I remove the SIM card and place it in another phone it doesn't work on the other phone either . But when I try place a SIM card from another carrier (Telstra) into my M8 it works fine. Virgin Mobile has issued me a new nano SIM and I did the same tests and got the same results which is really odd. Virgin Mobile has also checked on their system and confirmed to me that internet is ACTIVE.
I've been reading around and the only other solution I can think of is accessing the MVNO setting and changing in to IMSI in hope it works. If anyone could please tell me how to access MVNO on the M8 it would be much appreciated.
Network: Virgin Mobile
Phone is SIM unlocked
Bootloader unlocked, S-OFF and Super CID
ROM: Android revolution HD 21.0
Firmware : 3.28.401.7

Most likely you need a different radio...

I just checked on my phone under mobile networks > APNs and at the very bottom I get the option to choose the MVNO type and value, so the only thing I can suggest is making a twrp backup of your current arhd and flashing another rom with that option (since it's not appearing on the one you're using).
The rom I'm on right now is Dirty Unicorns.

I think you might be on to something

I need to try to this my imei number is no goodfrom the previous owner whofiled it lost when he thought it had been stolen yet lucky me it showed up a day after he the replacement did for the HTC One Max????? (HTC6600LVW) yet I am sticking with my Galaxy Note 3 as the 200 difference from the CPU is a great deal when being held next to each other... So I've decided to sell it to my roommate who uses metro pcs told her to buy an unlock pin for her SIM card to work. I read about rooting the phones but being that it is not mine I'm not lying to the poor girl am I?

[Q] No data connection

Hello, I bought and unlocked a HTC M8 but now I have put my sim in everything apart from there is no data connection, Wi Fi works but not data. When I go to Mobile Data in settings it says "disconnected" and when I go to APN it says " Access Point Name settings are not available for this user" Is this the problem ? Can anyone help figuring how to data connect ?
Thanks

Have you selected your network operator first.

This is one of those things that can be most easily solved by calling your operator. When I got my phone and put in the sim card, I had no data. I called O2 and they guy walked me through the setup. It might be a noob way to solve problems, but it definitely works.

It did not matter for me. I have an unlocked phone and a sim card from O2. O2 is providing me with the service, it's their job to make sure it works. My phone was brand new, so it would be safe to assume that there was nothing special about it. Also, here in Germany I can always return the sim card and void the contract within two weeks after buying it, so the network wants to keep me happy .

Carrier Name incorrectly shown in drawer

This is annoying me more than causing any real issues. UK user here on stock 6.0.1.
On my new 5X, I had an EE sim for a few days, shows EE as carrier name for Network Operator and SIM Operator...I use Network Signal Info Pro to show me that info.
It showed as EE in the drawer under the mobile network and on lock screen too...all good.
Just switched to Virgin SIM, and whilst the Network Operator is now Virgin, the SIM Operator is still EE. It shows as EE still in the drawer and lock screen.
Mobile data still works, it is clearly connected properly to Virgin in APN and I received the settings when first put in the Virgin SIM. There is nothing EE related in APN.
How can I fix this? It should say Virgin in the drawer, but it persistently says EE. Toggling aero mode doesn't fix. Neither does refreshing / cycling radio in LTE Discovery app. Restart doesn't fix.
Any ideas? I'm not rooted, FYI (and I don't wish to be rooted as it breaks my online banking apps, which are vital for daily living). So Change Carrier app is not an option for me.
Thanks.

I would try Settings -> Backup & reset -> Reset Network Settings, and see what happens after a reboot.
Just FYI that all your stored Wi-Fi will also be deleted and you'd have to add them again.
But for me this has solved some issues.

Thanks for the suggestion, but that didn't work. Worth a shot I guess.
...and as an extra annoyance it wiped all my Bluetooth devices, which included the pairing with my Android Wear watch, so that needs factory resetting now too and re-pairing.

Hello,
My 5x is also suffering from the same issue. I too am from the UK and have been with Virgin Mobile for years.
The problem started as soon as the MCH19J update arrived. Because my phone was rooted at the time I thought it might have been something I had caused when I flashed the update. I intended to return to fully stock anyway so I decided to flash the MMB29P image as a starting point because I knew for sure that the carrier logo was correct in that version.
With the phone now completely stock and bootloader relocked I installed each OTA update as they arrived and all was fine with the logo until MCH19J when it changed to EE. The April OTA update has now been installed and the logo is still EE.
So it would seem that the issue is not root or a bad flash or the need for a factory reset but an issue within the Android OS itself.

Just out of curiosity are you sure it isnt correct? To my knowledge (not checked recently) Virgin is an MVNO that ran of T-mobile (aka EE's) network.

Yes you are correct, Virgin Mobile UK is an MVNO using EE's network. EE is now owned by BT but that is all behind the scenes and I have not received any notification of changes to do with that.
My wife has a stock unrooted Nexus 5 on the latest (MOB30D) update and that shows Virgin as the carrier in all areas of the phone so I still believe this is an OS issue

I second that...if I put the SIM in an N5 it shows Virgin everywhere, but if I put the same SIM in my N5X it shows EE everywhere (excuse the accidental pun there!) [emoji2]

It's got to be an OS issue, even though I recognise that Virgin does use EE's network.
