I'm using an XDA T-Mobile PPC (SX56 ATT unlocked with 4.01.16 and Radio ver 6.25.02).
I wanted to see if anyone had the same problem and can help getting me back on WAP. Currently not signed up for any data plans, but using the GPRS WAP. Been unable to connect to the internet since last Weds. Antennna confirms that GPRS is connected from the signal using the the standard TM configuration from this site. IE hangs and eventually times out with a page not found. When the handheld is in the cradle, IE connects to the internet without problems.
Prior to this downtime it's been pretty solid, accessed as expected and never had this issue before. Did a hard reset to rebuild, but not fixed, however did notice the network search has recently been slow. Not sure some changes happened since TM stores started receiving the HP6315.
Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.
TIA
Almost the same
I am having almost the same problem, but only with T-Mobile. When I switch to another service (AT&T or Orange) it works fine, but will not work with the OEM service with T-Mobile.
In fact, the only way to get it to work with T-Mobile SIM chip is to use it calling a IP (hence using my minutes)
Anyone know whats wrong

Hi. I've been using my hermes for a while now and playing with different upgrades without ever having a problem. I've never tried to use mobile internet (GPRS/3G/EDGE) before though. I started trying recently when my ISP became so bad i could barely load a webpage.
No matter what i do the hermes wont even attempt to connect. (I used my electic guitar pickups to detect the radio bleeps. I get them when making a call but not when attempting gprs).
Here is a rough outline of the roms i remember trying:
Schaps 4.30 (with whatever radio it came with)
CRCs 13.4 (with the radio it came with and with 1.48 radio to try and get connected)
Orange UK rom (SPV_M3100_ROMUpdate_0407), radio 1.38
(all with Hard-SPL-2.10 installed)
I'm on Orange UK, and I've even tried downgrading to the latest orange rom (the one with 1.38 radio). Still no joy. I bought the one day access to orange world thing (about 4 times :O), and tried connecting using orange internet and orange wap connections.
Is my radio forever fried/bricked for some reason? Any help would be appreciated, as I dont fancy trying to get my old imate sp5 to connect to the net . Looks like I might be forking out for a new phone
PS. Wifi internet works fine, as do voice calls.
Did you check the MMS/WAP settings as these are lost when loading a new rom. Either run the carrier configurator (if included in the ROM) or get the settings from your provider and do it manually...
Thanks for the reply ultramag. I tried the configurator when I had the CRC 13.4 rom installed. It seemed to set up the settings for wap the same as on oranges configuration site. I assumed that my phone must be being blocked for not being an orange rom or the radio version was incompatible. I then tried radio version 1.48 as i read somewhere that this worked with orange uk. Then i tried installing the orange full phone rom including orange version of wm5 and the orange radio rom 1.38. I suspect this could be a physical hardware fault as i have opened up the phone before to fix the earphone speaker and camera.
I wonder is the voice call chip separate from the one that does GPRS? or is it a one chip deal?
Also, it is a very old sim card. Could this contribute in any way?
mmm if its an old sim card it probably cant do 3g but gprs should work.
perhaps your current radio rom does not support data somehow? or you havent got all your settings configured properly... its all i can think of...
I tried a vodafone payg sim card from someone elses phone, and it came up with a 3G symbol on the start bar at the top. I couldnt connect however, but according to the vodafone website you dont have to explicitly pay to get to the www.live.vodafone.com site? Or am I wrong?
Getting the 3G symbol with vodafone suggests I might be getting close to a solution here. Also connecting and disconnecting the 3g box on comm manager caused radio bleeps which suggests it is capable of 3g. Looks like my beef is with orange/vodafone and not the Hermes. Typical!
Thanks for all your help guys. I'll post if it ever works.
try your carriers website for gprs specific settings =) i know i had to edit my settings before mine would work..
Problem solved
I've finally sold this problem. It was the SIM card and nothing to do with the phone. I never managed to get through to Orange tech support because theyre useless (last time i phoned they said their tech support systems would be down for 5 hours).
A friend had an Orange SIM and I tried MMS (which uses GPRS) with his SIM in the Hermes and it worked fine. I then tried it with my SIM and it failed as usual. Sorry for wasting peoples time with this.
P.S. Orange sucks. I will be switching service ASAP.
my friend tom got his galaxy s like two months ago. he has a even more plus plan with unlimited everything on tmobile and he used that in a iphone 3g for a year with no problems and he could roam with no issues on att.
with his new vibrant its not working! it takes forever to try to connect then gives a error. the sim should be good since it roams in two other unlocked phones..
for the note, his phone IS unlocked... that was the first thing we thought of..
the error is: unable to select network.. your sim card is not allowed to connect to this network
this phone is a quadband phone so it should work.. we have put a att legit iphone sim in it and it works great.. what gives? why can't he roam on this new phone when other phones do? running bionix rom.. have tried updates, wondering if anyone has any opinions or info
we've already tried changing network settings with *#0011#, gone into service mode *#*#197328640#*#* with no luck
edit: we've tried not allowing the phone to connect to our local att 3G band (1900) and use all other bands again with no luck. the phone connects to canada's rogers network tho.. weird..
anyone check this out yet?? anyone got it workin? any reports would be killer ...
we have tried more settings through service mode still with no luck. when we specify certain bands and leaving the att 3G local band unchecked, it will not hop on T-mobile with the setting! Crazy! not sure if it's the rom, radio version or kernel but we will keep tweaking and posting results.. if anyone is having this issue or has concerns any posts or signs of life would be cool lol
Same issue
Unfortunately, I don't have a solution, but I've been working on this same issue since september. I originally contacted tmo about the problem to see if they somehow hadn't provisioned my phone/account for roaming. Needless to say they were not much help. They suggested I exchange the phone for a new one, which I did, and I still have the same problem.
I'm in a rural area of california where tmo has roaming on att towers. My girl has tmo service with a different samsung phone and she can roam on att just fine. She can send/receive calls and text. I even put my sim in her phone, and it works, so I've pretty much narrowed the problem down to an issue with the vibrant itself.
My phone is not unlocked, so we've ruled that out. I'm running bionix fusion with ji2 modem now, but I've had the issue with the stock phone before ji6, and after ji6 ota. I've tried messing around with the service menu the same as you, and I haven't got anywhere either.
I have been able to get the phone to at least lock on to att by adding the apn internet2.voicestream.com, and it will get past the "not registered on network" message. Unfortunately, it won't complete a call or send a message, it just times out after about 15 seconds and drops back to the previous menu (depending on whether I tried to dial out of contacts, the call log, or the dialer). But it does not give me an error message, it behaves as if the call connected and immediately hung up.
I had given up on it for the past couple weeks, but I have time now to try and work it again. Let me know if you've gotten anywhere, and I'll do the same.
The fix is: when you're in an att roam area, set your phone to gsm 850 only via the service menu. If your phone doesn't auto lock on the att network, search for available networks and choose att. After that you should be able to send and receive calls and texts.
after yet some more messing around, still no luck. it's clearly a thing with tmobile not allowing roaming..... because i read many threads off the gooooogle that say tmobile is pretty much going away and any "contractless" plans don't have roaming so they don't lose money....
dickheads. at least he's grandfathered in with a good unlimited everything plan tho..
even if all this said, if anyone finds any info out post!
the other day i was out of tmobiles network coverage and on att voice and edge not 3g. i live in texas
this is with a stock vibrant jI6
tried the app RoamControl with no luck. it uses different tmobile bands when in "roam only" mode. anyone have any luck yet?
I have had my TITAN since about a week after its release. At that time, I was using an O2 SIM card and everything was perfect and fine.
Around 4 weeks ago, I switched to Talk Mobile as my O2 contract was up and I got a deal from Talk Mobile. Since then, my phone has been a disaster - but I dont think the TITAN is at fault.
Around 50% of all my calls get dropped. Typically, when this happens, I will be connected to a 3G/HSDPA network with decent signal strength. The call will drop, I look at the phone and the signal has been lost entirely. Then the signal comes back but at GPRS or EDGE. I also often have a GPRS or EDGE connection in areas I know have strong 3G signal. The phone will transition to 3G eventually but it is a right pain.
I am already on my 2nd Talk Mobile SIM card and will try a 3rd this week. I have tried hard resetting my phone too. None of this has helped and the network have so far been typically useless in trying to help so I was wondering if any of the bright people on here would be able to help at all.
Many thanks
Sounds like a network issue, I am on Vodafone and have not had any problems with the handset. Make sure you have correct network settings installed on the Phone like APN's etc for Talk Mobile
Are they listed in htc connection setup? if so run it.
Talk mobile piggybacks vodafone iirc. i get this problem of switching 3g/edge/gprs with vodafone and talkmobile. with talkmobile if its a phone they don't sell they don't seem to have the settings for internet/mms etc. i usually have to manually input them.
If you need to manually input the Talkmobile settings, they're all on the website.
Click the second orange button 'Talkmobile phone settings' and they should be listed in there.
talkmobile.co.uk/get_your_settings.html
Thanks to all for the responses. When I run HTC Connection Setup app, there is a setting for Talk Mobile which I selected. Before doing that, I had no internet as obviously Windows Phone on its own doesnt have the right settings.
I will try manually entering the APN details next and see if that helps, but I dont think the APN affects voice calls if I am right?
dumped o2 and got my titan with vodaphone. No issues at all. Maybe you can Complain ?.

I am complaining vigorously
You've checked the aerial right? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18523952&postcount=12
I have a Talk Mobile sim (I got it as it was an offer - unlimited data) and a Vodafone sim. I have the same problems with Talk Mobile.
E.g. today I could only get Edge in London, and it seemed to be slower than basic G. When I swapped to Vodafone sim, in same area, suddenly good H signal, and fairly fast.
Also my pop3 email sometimes just errors with the Talk Mobile sim.
When I first got this TM sim in November it was great, downloaded no end of music and data on the Titan. Past few weeks it has been rubbish. I find calls are ok though.
Haven't got as far as complaining.... yet.... sorry have no answer but just to say that I don't think it's the Titan at fault.
Hello people. I am hoping for some help. Have s4 mini I9195. Unlocked. Currently I am connected to T-Mobile network. However can only get 2g in my area. So bought, activated, registered, and paid for att account. Now have both T-Mobile and att. However, when plugging in the att aim it WILL NOT connect to att. I get 4 Signal bars on phone but no connection. Have correct apn. Spent two hours with att it's not on their end. Sim card works fine in different phones and other att sims WILL NOT work in my phone. So we know it's NOT a Sim issue. And remember T-Mobile network is connected and working. Only att is the problem and will not connect. Any ideas?? Please help??
I'm on the verge of flashing custom recovery, rom, gapps, to maybe fix this but want to make sure I am not missing something more simple first.
I've done all the basic stuff from resetting phone, apns, closest tower, etc.. Just see seems like phone will not accept att now. It did for first night for about 15 mins got texts and Signal, but nothing since. I am stumped.
Thank you for any help
I have a palm phone since yesterday and I am running through a mayor problem. I live in germany and bought the phone from a german private seller from ebay and he hided the information that its not the european model but the verizon model from the US. Its not even unlocked (verizon boot screen).
Problem: mobile internet, messages and phone calls
I replaced the standard apps for calling and texting and after some restarts it was possible to get both calls and messages. Mobile internet also worked, though its only 2G. However, after a short time mobile internet, messages and phone calls stop working. After a restart it works again - at least most times. But again only for a short time.
Any solutions for these issues? Restarting the phone every half an hour or so cant be the only way...
Nobody using an US palm in Europe?
I had the same issue when I first got it. It could be related to the incorrect/absent APN (Access Point Name). Usually you can get hold of them by contacting your network provider (should probably be on their website). Once I was able to set the correct ones up, I started getting 3G. Haven't been able to get 4G nor LTE just yet despite the phone being capable of supporting this.
