1.93 ROM cant find any network

[Kutthoat5150]

I recently updated my ROM to 1.93 with Radio .05 and now my phone is not finding any service, it just has the ! mark on top. I went into connection settings and used both manual and auto settings and it cant find my t mobile network. I am using T mobile in the US and was wondering if any of you had any suggestions. Thanks for your help

hi,

did u find other providers or is the list completely empty ?

[TomDaDj]

try the following 3 points of success

1)just try whether you can make a emergency call
2)hold your diamond to a speaker in your near and listen whether there is a strange noise(turn on the speaker loud)
3) if you had another pda try the sim in the device

post the results....

thanks for the reply bro

in my area, t mobile and AT&T show up as networks but my phone will just not connect to them, its just says "searching" and stays that way

1) is 911 the only emergency call you can make cuz i really dont wanna get in trouble with the law you know haha
2) i do hear a strange noise when i turn the volume up
3) i put my sim in my old n95 and it works just fine

its like my diamond is not even detecting my SIM card, i put my friends AT&T SIM in it and it doesnt detect that either

i've also got such a strange problem but now all works fine...
and btw at this crazy time i put my sim in a old nokia 3310 and he found
a network immediately then i put it back in 3 different pda's (all of them are working up to 100 percent) and all 3 devices found NO network...
at this time iam also going really crazy and desperate :D

i dont know the reason for my success, i just let the simcard over the night in a other pda and on the next morning magicaly all works fine...

can u choose between gsm and wcdma?

[TomDaDj]

just do this

select the automatic provider pickup and the wait over 10 minutes...
when he found a network after a long waiting time try connect to gprs.
if gsm will work and you can call someone and gprs will not works simultaniously u know you have the same fun like me :rolleyes:

Okay ill take a look at that, and yes I can choose between Auto, GSM, and WCDMA. I usually leave it on auto, but even when I switch to GSM it does not pick anything up.

holy potatoes i dont know what i just did but it worked!!! i put the SIM in my old N95 and it found the t mobile network. i sent some messages, made some phones calls, then put the SIM back in my diamond and it found the network!! wow thanks a bunch for your help bro, i cant thank you enough :)

[Kutthoat5150]

okay scratch that it worked for a little bit, until I started installing some apps and had to restart my phone, now it cant find a network again when it booted back up. Is it the apps that im installing that might be causing this?

[TomDaDj]

no man i dont think so...
i think that was a mistake by the sim or by tmobile self (i think if they have any problems, they didnt say anything to their costumers :rolleyes:)
if you have the possibility to go a little bit away from your home, for example into downtown then do this and test if u get there a signal.
i live in vienna - austria. vienna has 23 districts - when i had this terrible problem - at least in 7 disctricts i became immediately a signal and in my own district i became to no time a gsm signal (or more accurately described - i became a gsm sigal after 5-10 minutes waiting time (every time i turn off and turn on the phone, always i had to wait about 5-10 minutes) then i could make calls but no internet connection was possible. but in the other 7 disctricts where ive been, all works fine :p
crazy or not crazy :confused:

thanks for the help man your awesome, i really appreciate it. but i think ive finally found the issue, when i restarted the phone it couldnt locate any network. but then i started to charge it and boom!! it found it again! so does the battery need to be near full for it to locate a signal? haha wow, craziest phone ive ever had!

thx - i do what i can :)
but i dont think that the problem is gone - you will see - it wont work long. i signal must be there - it should does make no matter whether the battery is - not load - half load or full loaded. it must always work! at 1% of battery it works on my device - it is impossible that that is the problem of you. go to the next tmobile store and let change your sim card - or make it like me - just wait 4 days - hope tmobile have fixed their problems - and be happy if it works.
otherwise it was a hardware issue and you have to send it back to tmobile for repair. but if you do this you must restore the stock software... otherwise you lose your guaranty!!

oh i forgot to say in the first post that my diamond is unlocked, im just using t mobile as my carrier on it but my phone is not locked to any network. so im not sure if its t mobiles fault but just my phone. My SIM card worked fine right away when i put it in my N95 8GB, but my diamond did not pick it up right away when i put it in. I had to plug in my charger first then a few seconds later it found a signal. Not sure why it did that, maybe just needed a little boost to grab that signal or something. Could it be the ROM or Radio I am using?

ok, then send it back to htc, or bring it to the store back where you bought it.
but do this only if you really see no more chance to fix it...

remember what i write, i try my sim in a nokia 3310 and it works, a few seconds later in diamond and 2 other pda's i got no network - back in nokia and it works :p i dont know how this could be possible!!!

i also try 5 different roms and all radios that exists too - and with all was the same - just nothing.

its your choice my friend - be patient and hope for better times or send it back to repair. but then also upload the original htc rom, radio and spl :D

i go now sleep - at vienna its 23 o'clock iam verrrrrrry tired from a hard working day...

but post further results, i read it tomorrow...

thanks so much for your help bro, ya every time i unplug it from my charger it loses its signal, so i have to keep it charged just to talk on it or text. so i think i am going to have to send it back to htc for repair as i dont really know what is going on with it. thanks again man, really appreciate the help

i have a very similar problem.
i can only make and receive calls on the wcdma network, but not on gsm.
in both, it says that i have reception, but when i try to make a call it just goes silent and after a while the call is ended.
if i dial *102# which is the number to access your mobile credit status, on wcdma it opens a little bubble coming from the network icon and says the correct values, on gsm it simply waits and says connection interrupted.
i have tried several roms and radios, and the problem persists...
you can view my current setup in my signature.

any ideas, what could be the problem? is it the hardware? does this have to do something with hungary?

the sim works just fine, since 1997 (i have no idea how can 3g work on this little baby, but it does) =D

any help appreciated! tx

hi,

i was really wondering why this strange problem happens now on more and more users... thats really interessting....

did you try the sim in a other phone?
if it there also not work -> go to a store from your provider and told them that u have a old sim card which not works with your current phone.
normaly they should give you immediately a free new sim card.

and please tell me whether you have tmobile as your provider.

just for info because you write, that u can use 3g.... when i recieved my diamond i also had an old sim card which doesnt support UMTS or 3G but HSDPA was working, that cause because the sim is not responsible for this communication mode - only your phone!

the problem the guy has in this thread is almost exactly what i am experiencing right now

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409733&highlight=network+problem

except mine used to just keep restarting an wouldnt boot up so i just let it do that for about 10 min and it eventually loaded up. Is there a specific number I can dial that will reset my SIM card settings or something? My phone has been like this for a couple days now and it sucks not being able to call or text anybody.

I thought I solved this problem when I plugged in my charger to my phone, then it started finding the EDGE network but my signal was still being dropped when I made calls, only some text would go through and thats it. Please guys, somebody save me from this misery! :(

to 100% the same what i've gotten and to 99% the same problem which you have.

BUT its very interessting, all guys what had this problem use t-mobile as the provider.... very strange.....

BTW because in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409733&highlight=network+problem
the guy postet Okay, nope not fixed... Flashed it with 1.37, connected to the network for a few seconds, dialed somebody and no ring or anything, but when i called my phone i could hear my own voice. So I guess i have to send it in for repair. Damn.

at this bad time i also restore to stock rom 1.37 and he found in 1 second a signal BUT then it was also impossible to make an internet connection...

[Kutthoat5150]

ya i was starting to think it was tmobiles problem until I put my friends AT&T SIM in and it was doing the same thing. It would just say "searching" and thats it, and well I just charged up my phone to almost full battery and it located a signal again. But it still drops calls almost immediately and I can only send text. Does the 1.93 ROM do anything to the Radio or antenna because it has been like this even when I flash back to earlier ROMS and radios. I am almost sure that flashing or changing radios will not solve the problem because I have done that countless times already.

it looks like a crazy neverending story.... but tell me, do you drive with your phone away and did he also not find a signal?

ya we drove for a while and it did not pick up any kind of signal, so its got to be an internal problem with the phone

yes i also think that now... ya no chance -> give it back, it will be better for your nerves ;)

But I sent to the service, waiting for the phone these days. Will inform you.
