Unlock At&T Tilt for Optus or other Australian Provider

Hi All, I have taken my At&T Tilt to Australia. AT&T provided the unlock code which seems to have worked. Seems is the operative word. I can make and receive domestic and interntional calls. I can send and receive domestic text. I can connect to networks via Wi-Fi. However, what does not work is the data connection to the Optus/ Virgin network, despite me manually configuring the set up per instructions for the TyTn II I was given. It does not make or receive domestic or international MMS. It does not make or receive international text. I inserted the SIM card into another WM6 smart phone, Australian edition of the HTC diamond, and it was able to connect to the internet via the cell phone network. So it is not the SIM card. I have tried some configuration changes without effect. HTC says it is a ROM issue. I would like additional opinions and of course, any fixes. The phone beats all other phones, including the iPhone for my needs so I want to keep it. Thank you.

Maybe it is the radio! Read through the radio thread in the kaiser section and if you can, contact your provider to see what radio they use for their stock ROM and flash that radio or the closest one! read the thread all the way through to see if anyone else is in your area and what radio they are using! Hopefully that helps!
Edit:Here you go click this link...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393182&page=5
First post is from a guy in your part of the word! Try the radio he lists or if you have to, maybe you can PM him! Hope you get it working, I would go nuts without my data working! You can PM me as well if you have any more questions!

Could be a proxy issue etc. Internation text/calls would be subject to having international 'access' provided by Optus. maybe register and check out HTC club for any ROM specific to Optus?

Good man! Thanks for jumping in on this! I feel bad for this guy!

Thanks for your help. I appreciate it. I have checked the thread and see information on the radios. I am a mere neophtye when it comes to radios. Where can I find the radio's mentioned and then how do I install them?
Thanks.

[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!

[Q] Recovery, Kernal, Modem Instruction Request

Good evening all. A friend gave me an HTC Incredible recently. My current carrier is AT&T however I find myself nearly completely fed up with CrApple. I would like to try out the HTC. I need instruction on how to recover, kernal, modem, or even flash an AT&T modem to it. Do you happen to know of an easy source that details the explanation(s) that I am looking for? Thank you, in advance, for your help tonight. -Sarah

Verizon phones can not work on AT&T's network. They send and receive data in different ways (Verizon = CDMA, AT&T = GSM). Not sure if you said you're staying with AT&T or not, but just putting that out there.

Thank you for your reply. I am considering switching networks. I'm just trying to bypass the initial request to enter my phone number, as I don't have a Verizon plan as of yet, so that I may test out the phone that I was given (the HTC Incredible). The goal is to be able to connect the device to my WiFi and use the Incredible to do everything it is capable of except for phone calls and MMS's... I am very eager to see how much can be done with this new toy. Any advice?

All you have to do is turn on your WiFi at home hit the menu button at the bottom of the incredible tap settings, go to wireless and networks, turn on WiFi, tap WiFi settings and it should of scanned and found your WiFi signal tap on it hit connect and there you go
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App

As soon as I am able to get into the phone I will do that, thank you. Right now the Incredible, since the power completely drained then charged and I tried to use the phone, I am first asked to enter my phone number. The phone won't allow me to access the menu or anything else until I enter a phone number. What I need to know is how to bypass that request for my phone number. Do you know how this is done?

How does pixel family manage VoLTE and VoWIFI?

Hi Guys,
Have a P3XL and it works with VoLTE fine with my main carrier - Vodafone Australia.
However, in the coming 12 months, I will be working extensively throughout the Asia Pacific.
I know previously with some Android OEMs, it was basically baked in for that phone/carrier combo, and even if your phone and network potentially supported the service, if you were on the wrong region firmware, you were SOL.
How does the pixel family manage this? Would it detect the sim card that I have and automatically configure the VoLTE if it were supported by that carrier? I know recently, via a tweet from @LlabTooFeR that some people are modifying to gain this, but dont want to resort to this if I dont need to. (Phone is rooted already though haha).

LG G710ULM UNSUPPORTED VoLTE ?!? (Straight-Talk US - T-Mobile network)

*********UPDATE********** I bought a new sim from straight talk and VOLTE works now! (GSM compatible Straight Talk Sim card) My old sim was from 2014, so it wasn't VOLTE compatible.
I have an ebay zombie LG G710ULM flashed to latest Google Fi Android 9 software, I received an email from Straight Talk (Wal-Mart US cell phone service reseller) telling me that my LG G7 does not support VoLTE and my phone will be unable to receive calls in January 2021.
-Using a network info app, the app is telling me it is connected to T-Mobile towers (so I have a Straight Talk T-Mobile compatible SIM)
-I can't find any options to enable VoLTE in settings, and wifi calling is erroring out
I was wondering if there are ways to get VoLTE and Wifi Calling working (Straight Talk supports it, but not my current ROM/SIM).
I can switch to the following sims supported by Straight Talk.
-AT&T Compatible Sim
-Verizon Compatible Sim? If my phone supports CDMA bands
OTHERWISE MOST OF US WILL HAVE A PAPERWEIGHT IN 2021!!!!!!!!!

Same problem
I'm having the same problem. Any progress on this?

I'd like to know this too. Surprised there is no traffic here with all the knowledgeable people on this forum.
G710EAW here. BTW There was an Android 10 update just two hours ago from Android 9. Someone with an 'EM' phone in another thread said VOWifi is "working now" but how do others know if it's working when January 1st comes around?

If you guys have cross flashed roms, then volte will not work. It doesnt work for any of us who have crossflashed. Whichever model.
You need to be on original software. Looks like some licensing thing that volte requires. They need to provision volte for all the phones. Sounds like they are not interested to provision it for g7. Odd that even EAW model which has original firmware, they sent that mail too....
Sad/Odd to see your carriers are suddenly changing to only Volte.

Is there a way to put it back to original software? I actually don't need it crossflashed to anything because it's a Verizon originally and I would like to use it on that network. Or does it not work that way?

Main issue is that your carriers dont want to provision volte for your G7s. So no guarantee if cross flashing back to original will work.
There is crossflashing guide in guides section with which you can go back to stock firmware. Do this at your own risk.
In our country we have a volte carrier called Jio. They provide an app called jiocall. Using that app you could use their service even if your phone is not volte capable. You will have to see if there are such apps for your carrier. Thats the only non technical, simpler solution.

I have some information that might make all of you guys happy.
I was told by Safelink Wireless that VOTLE is a function of BOTH the phone *AND* the sim card.
Basically, if the phone itself is VOLTE compatible but the sim card is not, then the phone will be reported on their system as not compatible, and will ask you to upgrade your phone.
However if a VOLTE compatible SIM is inserted, if the phone does in fact support VOLTE, it will then work. That's because it's provisioned on the carrier via the sim card itself.
If you purchased a sim via the "Buy your own sim" package, e.g. online or from Best Buy, etc, awhile ago, then that sim is not compatible. You simply need to call Tracphone/Safelink and ask to buy a VOLTE compatible SIM (which costs 99 cents). Then when you get it, call their tech department to have them transfer the phone service and phone number to the new SIM.
You can dial the phone's service menu and go to the VOLTE/GPRI menu and if the options are there, then the phone supports it.

What's the correct service menu number for our phones?
