Do you running Stock ROM? Mine is fine running AXIS. For shot way, turn airplane mode ON then OFF.
If your ROM is not 2.3.5 just flash your sbf.

Who is your service provider?
Please note the photon only supports HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 for 3g. So if your provider uses another frequency for 3g, it wont work. For example, in the US AT&T 3g will work on the photon but T-mobile won't

I bought my samsung galaxy s 4g from t-mobile in the U.S.
I just came to mexico and unlocked the phone so i could use mexico´s cellphone network: telcel.
I already can make calls and receive messages but for some reason i can´t use telcel´s 3g network nor send or receive multimedia messages.
i need some help on how to set up my cellphone so i can conect to the telcel´s 3g network.
Hey I'm sorry I can't answer your Q but how did you unlock to work on telcel? Please and thank you

Dumb question but you have a telcel sim with a data plan right?
What bands does there network use?
i took it to a store when they unlock almost any cellphone, but they just let you use any sim card to call or receive text and that´s it.

Hi,
I bought the DNA without a plan in America (not in a actual verizon store, but in a other verizon retailer).
In the Netherlands I put in a Dutch SIMcard from Vodafone (Dutch provider).
After installing the SIM and entering the APN settings of Vodafone the Data connection is not working.
I can call with my phone, but after trying the data connection it attemps to cennect a few times but then it says "connection lost".
I triple checked the APN settings and tried playing with some of the settings, but nothing worked.
I went to the Vodafone store and they said the settings were correct and could not help.
They recommended that i should root the phone and install a european/dutch android version.
Because in the netherlands we do not have 4G yet and this is not an option in european android versions.
They said this might cause the problem.
Does anyone have any ideas to solve the problem? (without rooting)
Or can anybody inform me if rooting and installing a different android version might solve the problem? (no rooting experience)
Any help is appriciated, but also other experiences with DNA in Europe (and data connection) are very welcome.
Thanks in advance.
Well considering you can't install a different android version, that won't work.
Only thing I can think of is that your carrier is using a band the DNA doesn't support. What band does your carrier use?

Thanks for your help.
according to http://androidadvices.com/htc-droid-dna-phone/the DNA supports: quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) and quad-band UMTS/HSPA (850/900/1900/2100 MHz)
Vodafone bands are 900, 1800 and 2000 in the Netherlands
So it should work, right?

only if you are in a 900 or area (i guess you mean 2100 and not 2000)

Yes I meant 2100.
I did hear some in Canada did not have problems so it is possible out side America.
Maybe I am just out of luck, but I hope somebody has the solution for me.

According to another forum it just depends on if you have a plan if you have to activate it or not.
If you have a phone without a plan you would not have to activate the phone via Verizon.
If you do have a plan you should activate it.

Yes, but it is also a quadband global phone, this phone can use GSM bands aswell.
at least that is my understanding. since it also works om at&t and canada for example.
Ok installed ukb 1.3.0 Rom and all is working good now! Calls and data I'm happy now
I also changed the networks to gsm/umts only to boost battery since I won't be using lte for now

I'm using Droid DNA in Japan and I have same problem. It also doesn't work in Japan by 3G network.
The carrier (NTT DOCOMO) uses UMTS/2100,1700,800. My country have no GSM and I can't try it yet.
Does DNA work as SIM free just in North American continent?

I tried friend's SIM card and found problems as below.
- carrier: NTT DOCOMO data only SIM (Japan, WCDMA/UMTS, 800/1700/2100)
-- SIM is not recognized ("your sim card does not allow a connection to this network")
- carrier: Softbank (Japan, WCDMA/UMTS, 900/2100)
-- SIM is recognized. Talk works. But no data connection (3G does not work).
I hope to know your APN settings.
Phone is HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
so that explains why the NTT DOCOMO doesn´t work (maybe not in 2100 coverage?)
you must enter the apn settings of your carrier, in this case softbank, and then select it. have you tried it yet?

I looked it up on this forum, but I suppose you need to root the DNA for this right?

Many thanks. My area covers 2100 network. My Nexus One is working in 2100 coverage.
I also inputted apn setting of softbank. But 3G data network did not work.

Yes, UKB 1.3.0 requires root and unlocked bootloader. I already get root and tried it, but problem remains.
I suspect that this problem is not solved even if you get root. I may need to update radio image in Droid DNA.

No It won't, after look at what base-bands it is capable of using it can use GSM 900 mhz but not wcdma 900 mhz. Even though they are on the same frequency they after different radio technologies.
I know the difference between wcdma and gsm. My problem is that many Sellers writes that p770 support wcdma 900 mhz. So if any of you have this phone and can confirm that?

I asked "etotalk" and this is their response:
answer:
Hi, regarding Lenovo P770 smartphone.
In the page of "etotalk" in the features it says "WCDMA 900/2100MHz" but the official website of "lenovo" puts WCDMA 2100Mhz. What is the correct figure?
responce:
Yes, lenovo shows is 2100mhz, but based on our customers' feedback, it should support 900 as well
Maybe my English is not clear because I use a translator but my response does not seem accurate

Hello,
I have the p770 for one month. I am living in Bulgaria and I am using Vivacom GSM operator. Its 3G network is operating at 900 MHz. The phone is working fine with 3G enabled. In settings -> about phone it is said that the mobile network type is HSPA. I hope this helps.
Bkulov seems to be correct, i am living in Africa & using a cellular operator which runs on the 900mhz band. I get 3g and Hspa with the Lenovo p770. I ran a test with the speedtest.net app & i got 2046 kbps DL & 1457 kbps UL. I thought there could be a possiblity of the phone running on EDGE/2G but i dont think so myself because obviously the phone doesnt state it & they dont state EDGE data for the SIM 1 on the p770.
My over all view about this is that if etotalk.com mentioned that their customers did confirm 900mhz 3G band, then i do not see why it wouldnt be. If anybody with backround knowledge could give us some feedback it will be much appreciated ! Peace

Hello guyz
I suggested my bro to buy a titan 2 so he bought maniacstore DOT COM (forums not allowing to post links)
so he agreed as the phone was unlocked & the specs were great at this price point
He got the phone today but the problem is whenever he inserts his sim (NOT mini sim) he doesnt gets any network, im damn sure the phone is unlocked bcoz it doesnt asks for unlock code when he enters his TATA DOCOMO sim card...yes, we live in India
I've searched the web but with no luck so finally i saw no other choice than asking experts like u guyz...plz help i dont want to get blamed
PS:- will hard reset work...i read somewhere on web about this
there were 2 instances where he got network & then it again disappeared
Do you have LTE-network in India? What band widths do have? These are the networks the phone is compatible with:
GSM/GPRS/EDGE
850/900/1800/1900MHz
3G - UMTS/HSDPA
UMTS 850/1900/2100MHz
and 4G LTE

A word of the wise...a carrier with one star average from 329 reviews from this web site would have me take notice if I were you; next here in the US and many other places there is eBay...one of the things I've learned along the way is what a company is selling or advertising is not always the truth. You need to find out if this phone is "clean". You need to find out what the network specs are for this carrier and if they are compatible with the Titan II and please do your homework. I never heard of this carrier until now; I did a Google Search and found this - http://www.mouthshut.com/mobile-operators/tata-docomo-mobile-operator-reviews-925107377 and this - http://www.tatadocomo.com/customer-care.aspx
You have try with HTC Connection Setup?
##3282# >>setings >> Network type >> 2G only or 3G only.
I have a htc titan 2 in CLARO Colombia and was working form arround a month and now doesn't work , i have tried in the 3 companies, claro, movistar and tigo
any suggestions
thanks!
Perhaps your phones have been IMEI blacklisted? By the way does anyone knows where can I buy an HTC Titan 2? This model never got launched here in Europe. Cheers

Hello all,
I have just made a rookie mistake, and bought an unlocked phone to use on the AT&T network. After putting my Sim card in, i noticed that I only had 2G (Edge)... So I did some research, and quickly found out that AT&T's LTE network is on 700 and 1700 bands... And my new phone only works with
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
Well... After doing some more research... I found out that AT&T 3G is on 850 and 1900... So shouldn't I be able to at least get 3G to function? I have tried a couple different APN settings... But so far I either only get edge... Or it says the mobile network failed to turn on due to an APN setting error...
Please help! This phone is pretty much useless without the internet for me... I can deal with 3G...but edge is unusable...
Thanks ahead of time
Hello MrBoard,
Have you tried to configure your APN settings by the homepage of your provider? They often offer such services. Maybe it can help you solve your problem.
But I have a similar problem, I although can't get 3G, every other connection is working, just 3G.
Does anyone knows a solution?

I entered the apn directly off the At&t website... We'll see if it works... I'm going to try switching the sim card out...hopefully I can use SOMETHING other than edge!
