Manually choose the net provider

[Zotho]

Hi!
I am using Korand WW 2.5 and RR 2.69.21.
Got following problem:
I live in an area where there is little network coverage of my provider O2.
Normally it automatically changes to T-Mobile in cases of having connection problems. But sometimes it keeps in O2 and I have no connection at all or at least very bad voice quality.
Now I wanted to change to manually set and select my network provider and have my XDA to keep with T-Mobile. If I change this setting it works for as long as I don´t leave the cell, but as I travel around and come back home, it uses O2 again.
I was trying this behaviour with another phone (Nokia 6230) and it works like a charm. No problem at all. Stays with T-Mobile wherever I go.
So It cannot be an issue of the provider but the phone or the software on it...

Sorry for my bad english, I hope you understand my problem ;) Couldn´t find any thread about this.
Thanks for any advice!! :)

In the phone settings (Start->Settings->Phone) there should be a "Network" tab, you can either try the "manual" button, or click the set networks button and edit the order of networks/remove the O2 networks.

Setting it manually in the Network tab didn´t help, that´s what I tried before.
Finally I had to disable it in the available networks list. Now it seems good for now. Thanks for helping, l3v5y!!
I just wonder how to get the O2 network back, in case I need it. ;)

Hmm, I guess I didn´t wait long enough. Though O2 is disabled in the network list, the phone has logged into O2 again... Grrr :mad:
Don´t know how to totally disable this :(

Hey,

I´ve a similiar Problem with the German O2.

Here I can use O2 normally- but as soon as I select manually T-Mobile, my HTC magician (XDA Mini) says, that he could not use T-Mobile, I should end all open connections first or try another provider and try again.

Same is on a HTC Touch.

In all other mobile phones it´s working great!

@ mitoheizer:
Komisch, ich kann zwar T-Online auswählen und auch O2 abschalten, aber er übernimmts wirklich nur bis zum nächsten Mal Zellwechsel oder so und kommt dann zurück zu O2. Bei Dir scheints aber was anderes zu sein, welche WindowsMobile - Version hast Du drauf?

@all
I tried the same thing with a Nokia6230 and it worked just like expected. Kept logging into the T-Mobile Network and remains there.
And I tried it with 2 different O2 SIM-Cards (got a Multicard feature). Same result :( Nokia works, HTC doesnt.
Maybe I give it a try and flash another software version.

[mitoheizer]

Habe 2003 drauf.

O2 meint es liegt an meiner SIM Karte- kanns mir aber nciht vorstellen, da es ja in anderen handys funktioniert. Denke eher, es sind die HTC Geräte, da ein weiterer Kollege mit gleichem Gerät auch das Problem hat!

@mitoheizer
Hmm, scheint wohl wirklich an den HTCs zu liegen. Vielleicht sollte man dort mal anfragen. Ich dachte es liegt an der WindowsMobile6 Variante die ich drauf hatte hier.

Hab heute schon 3 ROMS getestet, mit keinem gehts. Ist also Hardware - Sache. Sogar mit unterschiedlichen IPLs und RADIO-ROMS gabs keine Änderung. (IPL 2.15 u. 2.20)
