Hi folks, can anyone please help me with this problem?
My brother in law has asked me to look at his S740. He has tried several o2 SIM cards (UK) in this phone but always gets told there is no signal.
Not only that, but there is a symbol where the strength meter should be that isn't documented in the user guide.
He has also tried my o2 (3G) sim and a Vodafone sim, both UK.
Any advice gratefully recieved. We have tried several hard resets also.
Thanks
This means it's looking for signal. My guess: Still SIM-locked?

Not sure if it's SIM locked as there is a menu to select which carrier to use.
It reads the SIM correctly and sets it all up for o2, but just doesnt get any signal.
Does anyone know where the GSM antenna is on these? Maybe its a bad connection.
UPDATE:
I've had a mail back from HTC that recommends I send it in for repair, lol.
Now do I take it they are robbing buggers or do I take it that the icon is an indicator of a hardware fault??
Hmmmm, dilemma. lol
Are there any more suggestions on what it may be?
Has anyone successfully taken one of these apart?
it may be because of a hardware error...try to connect to a wifi network...if it impossible to find a wifi network then it is due to a harware problem.Most likely because the FR coaxial cable is out of its possision...download the service manual and see how to fix it.

Hi sasiskas, it conects fine to my wireless network at home. I take it from your response that the cable serves a double purpose.
I downloaded the service manual so I could take a look, but only got as far as removing the 4 screws at the back. lol, I couldn't figure out how to get it off, lol
I'm still stuck at the assumption that it is indeed SIM locked, and so will try to find a suitable card to try out.

Try contacting with your phone's provider (shop,e-bay seller whoever it is) and ask him details about the sim.Good luck.

Thanks. I have tried the same but just keep getting a vender ID, (lol spelling), error.
I would appreciate any input whether you have success or not, it just may spark an idea off.
I cant get in touch with any sales or provider as it was gifted to my bro in law. He's not that bothered about it but would like to have it working if he can.
Thanks folks.
Hey! I think I know the solution to your problem...I had exactly the same problem when I hardReseted my phone.
Go to "Start-settings-Phone-Band Select"
and then select
1.Network type : Auto
2.Band Type : "Euro" if you live in Europe, "US" if you live in USA , or "Japan" if you live in Japan.
Good luck...Let us know if it worked!

Yes that is a good suggestion because the phone will display that icon if it can't find a *usable* network, be it that the SIM doesn't allow it or if the bands don't match the selection on the phone or the bands are not usable by the phone hardware etc.
I would suggest downloading & running HTC Field Test (fieldtest.exe) with & without a SIM installed, with each network & band setting & see if it shows any towers or signal. (Normally you want Auto for both but you may not have that option or you might prefer to set to a KNOWN working band to conserve battery & minimize searching) If should show something even without SIM or with SIM lock because it's supposed to support emergency calls either way. If it shows signals with SIM but you still have same no service icon then it's likely SIM locked (although the phone should alert you to that fact) so odds are the phone hardware, rom or settings do not support whatever signals are available to you. (Btw if field test shows N/A for all the values you need to app unlock your phone)
Hope that helps.

can you share a link with HTC Field Test?Thnx

Hey all I'm having a very similar problem.
Had my HTC for some months now but in the past few days I've found that my network signal is becoming very unpredictable.
I'm also on O2 and I used to have a pretty contstant H (I presume HSDPA) connection.
Howeever im finding now the phone with go from H to 3G to GPRS to E to no signal in the course of 5 mines and round and round again!
Its very annoying as it means I cant make / received calls or texts fluently and even cut me off on a phone call too.
However usually on phone calls it will keep me connected ok till I hang up and then go to no signal.
I've checked the wireless and it is picking up networks..
Any other suggestions? I will try the field test tomorrow...
PS I know its not the network as my work blackberry is O2 and is not having this issue..
Cheers in advance!
Well, just to close my input on this thread.
I tried various ROM's available from this site and none worked.
I did try the band selection settings but still a no go.
I did have limited success but overall, nothing. The phone has now gone back to the person who asked me to look into it and to my knowledge he is going to sell it to one of these phone reclaim companies.
I did check and one place, I think through the post office, is offering £80 ish so not bad I suppose.
Anyway, thank you to all who have made suggestions and wotnot. Personally I'm still happy with an old Nokia 6300 and my Wizard (Mini-S)
Thanks folks.
Hey guys,
i have the atrix 4g on which i used a simunlock code, so that i coudl put in my sim card from a european carrier, that works great, but the thing is the WiFi stopped working, it just went into a scanning/connecting loop and than it disconnects.
So i factory restored it and figuered out that s soon as i put in a working sim card (one that has cellular reception), the WiFi starts to behave like that and to get it to work i have to factory restore again without a sim card or with a nonworking sim card.
So i tried the motorola support and they said ye hardware issue, send in the phone, my problem however is im in europe right now and i cant really send or get the phone to motorola USA and they totally refuse to send it to an address outside of the US. However im 100% sure its a software issue (both things work for itself, and the thing that even removing the sim card doesnt restore the wifi funcionality makes me think there is some software issue).
So please guys if anyone has an idea how i could fix that i would be really greatful. Btw i tried some of the apps from the market to "fix" wifi (fxr, wififix etc). Fxr said it fixed the wifi bit it still wouldnt connect, the other apps just had the same issue as the stock wireless manager.
Thanks for your time
Did.you use software to unlock it or just a code?

I have the exact same problem.
My phone is unlocked and can make calls, but WiFi disconnects me almost immediately. The phone also thinks my prepaid sim has H+ connectivity.
When I go back to my AT&T SIM, I have to do a reboot or 2 to get it cleared up, and then WiFi works again.
oh, i see that, i guess its some sort of ATT measure to block nonATT SIM cards, eventho the phone gets simunlock code. But the funny thing is there are a lot of people for whom it all works (like the guys in the unlock thread, using it in canada without a hitch), so im really wondering if this is not just a software glitch (i hope it is and gets fixed witht he 2.3 update..), otherwise my only hope are the devs here to crack wide open the bootloader and put some custom roms on it =/ really a great phone, but all this ATT software crap makes it feel like its an Iphone ...
But uhm still, anyone has any ideas how to try to fix this problem before the updates? =/

i also have a friend in saudi arabia who got the unlock code and the wifi is working fine.
only 2 people reported this so far. i guess it could be a hardware problem ? because the other user beside you have this problem even without sim installed " or that what i understood from him "
you can check the other thread too. maybe someone could post something usefull.
hmm i see, where did you find that thread, i was sort of searching for ages and didnt find any issues like that =/
Ye i mean i have this problem without a sim aswell if i dont factory restore the phone, after i do that without a sim card however the WiFi works great...
so i am kind of reluctant to believe it being a hardware issue due to this, sort of software specific issue (at least i think if it would be hardware related, the wifi would start working as soon as i go to airplane mode/take out the sim and a factory reset wouldnt be necessary), or do you think that my theory is rather flawed in thinking that?
and ye the problem is im in europe now and as the reps at motorola support told me, i would have to send the phone to the US for warranty and they would only send it back to an address within the US =/ i will try my luck with the german and uk support site, to see if they could do something for me.
thanks for your time guys tho
hey guys what do you think if i would use this code:
* 2767 * 3855 #
Think before you give this code. This code is used for formatting the original manufacturer. This will delete all files and settings, including internal memory storage. This will also reinstall the phone’s firmware.
To restore it to manufacturer (will it request an unlock code again after that?) cuz i have 2 codes to unlock but the first one worked, so maybe if i woudl try it with the second one than?
I just unlock my atrix with the code from cellunlock, works great and wifi is fine as well. Would like to know where u get the code, and how it turns out if u try reset to default using the combo. Pls update. Ths

I'm having the same issue of not being able to connect to WiFi.
I bought the phone in Las Vegas with an AT&T - pay as you go (no contract).
I bought an unlock code from SwiftUnlocks, and used my Rogers SIM, which appeared to work. I then rooted the phone.
Using the Rogers network, I've been unable to use any sort of data. Phone calls and texts work fine. Then I noticed that my WiFi was not working properly. It would try to obtain an IP address, but couldn't connect. After several reboots, I got the phone to connect to WiFi for a few minutes.
I just did a factory reset, now I'm unable to connect to any network or WiFi to login with MotorBlur, so I can't really use the phone now.
I'm quite frustrated and not sure what else I can do.
Update - after putting the original AT&T SIM card in, and rebooting several times, the WIFI started working again.
I'm still unable to get Data working over the Rogers network in Canada.

i am getting my phone in few hours, then i am going to order from cellunlock a code and wait for 2 days to get the lock. unless someone has a spare code he can pm me i would be thankful.
the code is IMEI specific, cant give oyujust spare codes
secondly, to get wifi to work you have to remove your sim card, put in the att or a nonworking sim card and do factory reset, than wifi will work. and you can load all the stuff via wifi, and than just put in your working sim and use the phone as a phone +3g data (the 3g data works great for me to be honest)
oh i got my code from swiftunlock but i dont think that matters, they all get it from teh same provider im pretty sure.
and if anyone si wondering t he sbf update did NOT fix my wifi problem. i ahve tried several wifi fix programs and neither worked aswell, the fxr wifi did some stuff that the phone now sees the networks but still cant connect.
this is to update everyone that i got the phone. had an issue about the screen doing lots of flickering. contacted amazon and sent it back.
in the whole process so far i lost around 60$ between importing and exporting the phone. all in all. i will stick with my iphone 4 for now. its a good phone.
but i cant take this sadness all over again if i imported another phone with an issue with it as well. i am too OCD for my own good.
so true what you say, tho im coming form a nokia 6220 classic, a bit older than the iphone 4

Hi,
I've had my SGS2 now for around 2 months and thought it maybe be a firmware bug, but have recently upgraded to the latest via Kies which is KE4 and still notice from time to time that the my 3G just wont work.
If I try and access anything via 3G for example webpages you just get page cannot be found, but strangely enough what I have noticed the is H symbol will have a Green UP arrow active but nothing ever happens. In order for me to fix it I have to disable 3G via apndriod and then turn it back on again, as soon as this is done the 3G works as normal. Does anyone know of a fix for this?
I'm on the O2 network if that helps but I think its more than likely a bug with the firmware/phone.
Cheers in advance.
Davey
I've noticed it happen once or twice... but I just hold the power button, and then de-activate and then re-activate the connection from the popup menu. Sometimes when it has hung it can take a fair while to kill it after de-activating as well. But its literally only happened 2 or 3 times in the whole time I've had it; I've had catastrophic battery drainage more often which is a lot more annoying.
I've had the same issues on my phone aswell. I just got mine back from the repair shop and the problem still remains. The guys on the repairshop said it worked fine when they had it, but now its the same again. I dont know if it is my network operator who has problems with my phone staying online or what it is. But its damn annoying, I to have to disable / re-enable the 3G connection for it to start to work again.
I've yet to find a fix for this.. I'm on a network called OneCall, in Norway.
Any tips would be great
I had the same problem when I disabled fast dormancy.
Hello. Since about a week ago, I have this problem PERSISTENTLY. My phone is 3 months' old, I bought it new and unbranded from a store in town, and never rooted it. Only thing I did was upgrading the firmware through kies to the latest version available in my contry (KE7 if I'm not wrong). I have adroid version 2.3.3.
Well, I have found no solution to this problem that is absolutely unbearable.
I shall get rid of this phone as soon as I can because I am really annoyed by discovering problems after problems. I never had any iPhone, but I will try buying the iPhone 5 when it comes out. Hopefully it will work better. After all, it can't be so difficult to make a phone better than this one!
By the way:
I have 2 contracts with vodafone, one on this phone and.the other on a Nokia n95 8GB. Tried swapping the sim cards. Reault is that after the swap on the nokia there still are no problems whereas the SGS2 is still hanging on 3G and H.
So it isn't a problem of the operator, neither it is a problem of sim cards (also because they are different, one is 32k and the other is newer, and 128k).
Now, before throwing this absolute crap of a phone out of the window, I'd like to try a factory reset. But the question is: will I have to reinstall feom scatch every single app, after the reset? Is there a way to back up allbthe installed apps and easily reinstall them, without rooting the phone? I absolutely don't want to root the phone because I'm pretty sure I will end up selling it and so I don't want to loose the warranty.

Factory reset will mean you lost all data, everything on the phone that you dont backup.
But that might not fix it, your best bet is to try a newer modem, as its more a modem issue not a rom issue.
Thank you, veyka.
I just seem to habe found the solution! I disabled fast dormancy by dialing *#9900# (there's a hidden menu).
So far it's working great! It appears that my mobile network is not optimised for that protocol, therefore it must be disabled im.order to get proper internet connection.
So... anybody with this problem, try dialing *#9900# and tapping on "Disable fast dormancy" it is a fully reversible action (just in ca se...). Im fact, it cam be re-enabled at any time from the same hidde menu.
POST NOTE: No. This doesn't work. I spoke too soon...

This problem has been around for a while and I read somewhere that Samsung said they were working on a fix for it. I have had the problem from day 1 and it still does occur with Fast Dormancy disabled. I don't know if some of the newer Firmwares have fixed this or not. I am running official UK KF3 Firmware.
In fact, the fast dormancy trick worked only foe a short time. Now I'm back on wifi. What a disaster of a phone.
I talked to my network operator last night. They told me to go to settings->wireless and network->Mobile networks->Network operators and set it to manual, instead of automatic.
After this it seems like the problem wanished, but it might be just for now. Will test for a few days and come back to this!
Hey this is certainly a good suggestion! Maybe when signal is poor the phone starts searching for other networks and drops the connection. Good point indeed. I will make some trials as well.
Cheers
Hi,
Since my HTC universal broke the LCD I start to find a replacement.
I found a friend who have a TG01 with no use... and he borrowed the device before I buy it.
I am running with the device since last Sunday, and I must say that the cons of this device (battery), for me it´s ok (4h30) of use (mix of calls, emails, etc).
I can not reach this time with my HTC
I had found some "problems" but already solved, using search in here.
But, on other side, I have some problems that I could not found the solution.
1. I can not put the device in 3G, only in 2G (I try changing in appropriate settings zones).
If I put in "automatic".... always in 2G and my home area have 3G.
So I decided to leave the device with GSM only.
2. Some cases, when I make/receive a phone call, the others persons inform me that
they can not hear me correctly (like I have poor signal, but the times I could check the
signal, it was full).
3. I use the TG01, with a bluetooh car kit (he did not access the contacts in the phone)
Works fine, but yesterday I found that the TG01 was "frozen" several times in the
day...???
In the evening I found that the freeze are related with bluetooh connections to the car
kit. Connecting/disconnecting.
The 3 problems that I have should be related to radio version???
I have:
software 5005.0000.0171 SP-00
radio version 5005.0000.0171
Thanks

Hi,
Yes your problems are from the radio version and from your carrier nerwork!
I have the same problem in Romania because i have more phones and also 3 carriers.
In one case, I use this phone with the Cosmote carrier from Romania it gave me the same problem as you have (the Cosmote carrier has two networks- one for GSM (2G) and one for 3G). Because the two internal network my phone see that i am in roming and give all that problems!
I installed the Feropont rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=969087 )and it works ok by now, Mirolg roms (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=906969)was also ok for me untill a point (is with Sense)!
Another rom I tried is fxdjacentfxd (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=993343) (best free memory) unfortunatly it gave me an error because of the carrier and i changed.

Hi,
Well, I try radio 1600 and now 300.
In this weekend, 1600 still have bad quality sound (people can not hear me very well).
In this morning (early) I flash again the same rom with radio changed for 300, but still haven´t 3G (for my experience I think I will have sound problem).
Today before flashing I put another SIM card (vodafone) and ... I have 3G, after changing the settings.
I leave the settings in HSPAD, put my TMN sim card ..... and no signal!!! (like usual).
My SIM card what is giving me "problems" had +- 4 months.
(Had 3G in the HTC Universal, with same card).
So, my problems could be in the SIM card (I think not)? what did you say?
After flash and reflash and because I use TG01 for professional use....
Pherhaps I quit!!
Thanks to everyone!!!

I told you!
The problem consist in the equipment carrier use! Vodafone use Ericsson devices and Orange use Alcatel stuff, but other carrier could use other equipment and from here comes the errors.
I don't think that the error comes from your SIM card !
I think the error come from the radio in your phone witch is not adequate with the carrier equipment. So my advice is keep looking for another radio! Try 1700!

Your Right Rila, the problem could also be in the TG01.
But my SIM card, in my wife phone or in another phone with 3G could not "enter" in 3G.
(I did not use 3G in my HTC universal, the sound also wasn´t good, but I always think it was for my blue tooth car kit or bad signal reception)
The same with my old Qtek S200(who don´t have 3G only GSM)
The sim had 4 months old.
For future "helps" I try 1600;300 and now 321.
I am waiting news from the operator.
First I must have a SIM that in other phones, work in 3G, after that, let´s test in TG01
I will post the news
(I must admitted I star to get TG01 addicted )
Perhaps I do not quit!!!
Ok!
In my break launch, I go to a store from my carrier!
They did found one problem, in my "service"!
After 30 minutes they call me and ask to reset the device ( they know it was a Windows mobile phone).
After reset, I select hspda settings and I have now 3G.
I put again the Tg on GSM only ( for saving battery).
In +- 10 calls no one has inform me they can not hear me well.
It´s soon too say that the problem it´s SOLVED but it´s looking good
Another think that I noted is that I have 1H55 m with 70% remaining battery.
Hello there,
I have been using Tesco Mobile with my Redmi Note 2 for a couple of months now and have had no problem. I decided to switch networks to a VPN called Life Mobile. They use EE's network in the UK. Since putting in the sim card today I have not been able to connect to the mobile network. I am wondering if anyone else on this network with this phone could help? I have called Life Mobile's helpline and all they wanted to do was run me through EE's apn settings. I had already used their app and also searched elsewhere on the web to find a few different APN settings but none of them worked.
One thing I'm wondering about if whether or not the custom ROM/firmware (MUI 7 I believe) that the phone shipped with (bought online from China by the way) is having anything to do with the internet problems. I get the feeling the customer service for Life Mobile were fobbing me off when they said that maybe my phone just isn't compatible with their network. Phone calls and texts work fine by the way.
Does anything think flashing the phone to the standard android ROM that's available would have any affect on the internet settings. I'm no mobile expert, and with the phone not being on general sale in the UK yet as far as I know, I would appreciate your help to get this internet/mobile data settings issues sorted, as I do use my phone for work.
Thanks in advance for comments and help.
I definitely know that the ROM that came with my phone from Gearbest was the worst piece of software that I have ever used in my life... ever. Check your MIUI build number and see if it's something like 5.xx.xx or 7.xx.xx. If it's something more like 77.55.66, then you have a knock-off and it may be eating your battery, performance, and experience (the original ROM Gearbest flashed on my phone had so much bloatware that the antivirus warned me about one of the programs every ten minutes, and heated up significantly on the home screen). If you have an unofficial ROM, try flashing a developer weekly or stable.
Hi all.
Well, would you believe it, I have spent a large part of the day trying to figure this out and finally I've done it. I'm not quite sure how but I've done it. I'll explain briefly to help anyone else who may be facing the same problem. It seems that changing the network preference setting within the sim settings from LTE to 3G did the trick. Life Mobile does not support 4G as far as I'm aware. That's no problem for me as I'm perfectly happy using 3G when necessary. After doing that and fiddling with the network settings, eventually reverting back to the automatic selection of the network as EE and using the APN default settings as given by the sim when it first was entered into the phone, things suddenly start to kick into life and we had INTERNET!
Thanks for your help in resolving this, and happy New Year to everyone.
same problem
Hi mate,
I'm having the same issue now on life mobile, I've checked all the settings are right but still not picking up mobile data. Any suggestions? Constantly restarting it hoping something will be different but nothing so far.
Cheers

Driving me crazy as well (on a Lenovo K3 Note). Still have the Tesco SIM in there. Was going to port the number on Monday, but might get them to take the damn thing back!
Tried all the suggestions above, but nothing working. Tried both SIM slots with and without the other SIM, but nothing. Grrrrr....

Well, they sent me a new SIM card and I had all the same problems until I switched on "data roaming" and it now works fine (it didn't do anything with the last SIM though, when I tried it in another phone, I had to have date roaming on in order to even get a regular signal- data still did not work). I have seen transient "R" occurring when the SIM was activated/deactivated so had suspected this as a problem.
