HTC :: Telus Desire On Rogers With Cyanogenmod 6 RC2 / 3G Not Working At All
Aug 19, 2010
My Telus Desire is unlocked, rooted, and running on Rogers. With the stock ROM the 3G worked perfectly, everything was great.Now, I've flashed the phone with the proper radio for Froyo, got the proper SLCD Clockworkmod Recovery working, and flashed Cyanogenmod 6.0.0 RC2.Everything works great, but for some reason 3G isn't working at all. I've got the APN setup correctly for Rogers (internet.com, wapuser1, wap, blah blah blah), but still no dice. Data is turned on in the settings, but for some reason it isn't working. There's never any icon to represent it up top either.
I have had the Desire (unlocked on Rogers for about 2 weeks and it has worked well in Toronto. I seem to get data from from HSPA, 3G and Edge (get Hs, 3Gs and Es on the notification bar). I arrived yesterday in Thunder Bay and cannot get any data there. I have called Rogers and they have reset the data or whatever they do but no change. I have checked all my APN settings, ensured that I have checked to use mobile connections and done a hard reset of the phone. Nothing works. I not that I have a choice of WCDMA, GSM or auto WCDMA or GSM. I cannot set this on WCDMA without it reverting to the auto position. I suspect that Thunder Bay may have no 3G service and my phone is not dropping to 2G although my experience in Toronto suggests otherwise.
I flew to Kenora tonight and we stopped briefly in Fort Frances where I was able to connect to the Dryden Municpal Telephone System GSM network. The E lit up and it appeared that data was being sent but it didn't get through. This seemed to eliminate the possibility that the radio is simply dead. Incidentally, bluetooth and wifi are working fine as is the voice radio. I have seen it suggested on redflagdeals.com that I need to have the phone rooted to get access to 2G as this was blocked by Telus. I would appreciate anyone's input on this issue. I will be spending 3 or 4 months in Thunder Bay over the next while and need data access. If rooting the phone will do the trick, then I will need to get someone to do it for me as I am a little reluctant to try that myself.
I see so many threads where people are taking a Telus Motorola Milestone and trying to tweak it to run on Rogers network (at slower speeds than it would on Telus).Why are they just not going to Telus? Is there some other advantage to making the Motorola Milestone work with Rogers network?It just seems many people dislike Rogers - is there something about Telus and the Milestone I should know about? Maybe locked into a contract at Rogers... but it's not like the Moto hardware is cheap without contract through Telus (something like $599 CAN).
I'm a Fido-user and I'm thinking of getting the HTC Desire contract-free from Telus and then unlocking it myself. Does anyone know if I can just walk in a store and buy it outright like that or would I need a Telus account? Also, would there be any activation fees or other hidden fees I might have to pay?
I want to buy an HTC desire unlocked, and heard u can get monthly rates with rogers, i am curious though, are there any restrictions in the form of punishment for not bending over to annual contracts? as in crappier and slower performance on the 3 g network or some luxuries being cut off of some sort? what are the rates usually for data plans?
I just received my HTC desire from a member on the boards.I am having trouble getting the Sim card recognized. Since it is not recognized it is not letting me access the APN settings.
Is anyone else having this problem? I just got the HTC Desire and I've noticed that if I'm on WCDMA only I have trouble receiving incoming calls and text messages. If on GSM only everything is fine. I am using a Turbo Sim though; could that be the problem?
Basically, I unlocked my HTC Desire from telus Canada today. Now I'm not getting an auto update straigth from htc, I guess with im still running telus's 2.1 version of android. Is there a way for me to install HTC's desire os so that i get autoupdates from HTC, like those people who had unlocked desires got earlier in the month?
Anyone using the Telus version of the HTC Desire on AT&T? If so, are you on their smartphone data plan or the $10/$15 medianet?I know some Nexus One users on AT&T are being switched automatically to the smartphone data plan.Are we safe with the Telus version?
I have my htc desire for 2 weeks and I still have 3 issue that really bother me.
1, The music player keep stop playing by itself after ~2 min. 2, The fm tuner won't able to turn on "again" unless I restart the device 3, The stream player will stop playing after screen shut off
today I picked up a rough looking Bold 9000 and swapped in my spare parts onto it. The catch is, it was a Bell phone. I already unlocked it and it states it is on rogers network now. I don't want the Bell logo/wallpapers to load upon startup, so I though by installing FW Version 5.0.1626 from the blackberry Rogers download page it would fix it.The software update just finished(about 10-15 min) and I see a bell background and bell startup logo. Should the Rogers FW change this over? or are the bell wallpapers/startup logo's programmed into the phone itself and NOT the FW?I don't want to remove the Logo completely, I just rather have it say ROGERS like my old BB and have all the rogers software/configuration.
last month, I inherited an LG-C900B (BELL) as my buddy had upgraded to an HTC TITAN Windows Phone. As I was frustrated with my force closing, stuck on Android 2.2, HTC Desire I decided to give WP a chance.
We unlocked the SIM from my TELUS HTC Desire and everything worked great. MMS, text, data, wifi, etc. Last week, I suddenly lost the ability to receive MMS messages from outside of the TELUS network. After a few days of troubleshooting and working with TELUS support, I'm at a loss.
I've done the following:
1. Reset my phone. 2. Downloaded the LG Network App to setup all my APN, Proxy IP, and MMSC settings automatically. (I did this last month when I was setting up my phone as well). 3. Upgraded my phone to the latest version available 7.10.8773.98.
I've also gained access to the MFG app to check my config.xml and to see what my network profile showed.
Current network profile: TLS_CA_302_220_ENG.xml AlwaysON options: ON Proxy enable options: OFF Auto update options: ON
All of the following values are hard coded into the config.xml file after running the LG Network Setup App for TELUS 302-220.
Somebody wants to buy my iPhone 3G which is locked to Rogers. They need it to work with Telus (Canada).
So my first thought was, jailbreak and unlock. Well it appears that the person does not have a telus sim card and wants her original number with the phone.
Is this a no go? Is there anyway I can still get this iPhone 3G to work with Telus without a Telus sim?
i just bought a curve 9300, and a sim card and transferred my service over. bbm, text services and phone services are all working but data is not. none of my apps - facebook, twitter, shazam, Internet.. my browser isn't working either.
they all say that my data plan isn't compatible, or doesn't exist. i've tried reloading os, tried connecting to the network, registering the host routing table, apn is checked off, telus says it's not my plan that's interfering. anyone know how i can fix this?
i managed to get emails to come through. (also, sorry if this is in the wrong spot!)
So I received a Canadian Rogers LG Xenon a couple days ago, I am not able to get any gmail apps to function on it (gmail, maps etc).After some troubleshooting I think it is because of the fact that the Access point settings in the phone are incorrect (read: not all entered)yet they are locked and not editable.For the rogers Internet Profile which is used for Application Data usage it did not have a user-name and password setup for the account.
I received this information from google: Access Point Settings for Rogers AT&T Carrier configuration tool: Address:internet.com Username:wapuser1 Password:wap DNS:207.181.101.4
When i look on the phone it does appear to have these settings (minus username/password which are blank) so.I tried to simply create a new Profile (new profile name also) to added the user-name and password but as soon as I enter the internet.com address the phone indicates that this access point already has a profile associated to it and you can not duplicate entries.Rogers Technical support also told me their "support" phone in the office was setup the exact same way and they could not edit it, and they do not 'support' gmail apps....I know other people have Rogers branded phones that are able to access gmail apps, could someone please verify if there accounts have the username and passwords set on their devices.The lady also said that the sim card is were this data is stored and that I should try putting my sim into a different phone to see if I could edit these settings there.....this doesn't sound correct to me, as this is my sim from my old phone were I manually entered all of these values.
I'm new to whole android mod seen but I've seen a lot of recommendations towards Cyanogenmod. Now, I get the basic idea and steps but I want to make sure I am headed down the right path.Basically, it seems straight forward though I am sure there are details missing from time to time. If anyone has any pointers in that regard, I'd much appreciate it. Also, it seems post Cyanogen install, there is an optional SPL install. In the guide, it mentions the Hard SPL and a warning in regards to having to update your "Radio" first, otherwise it will brick. Does anyone have specific information regarding this?
In CM 11, I could long press on a picture in the messaging application, and get an option to save or export to SD card/internal storage. On CM 12 messaging, I do not get any menu when long pressing.
When I click on a picture it opens in the gallery app, where I have an option to set as wallpaper or print, but still no option to save to SD/internal storage.
If MMS come in as a gallery, I can save those. But I can't figure it out for an individual image.
Recently installed cm12 nightly via flashify. Lost root access. How to get it back? Also I entered an email id in the email app. Now I wanna delete it but there is no option. I already deleted in settings but it still stays in email app. How to sync contacts via people on cm12?
I recently updated to Android 2.3 it went smooth but since then I haven't been able to use my 3G or GPS. Even though they're both turned on from settings nothing happens.
I recently got a new HTC Desire S from three, the GPS doesn't seem to be working properly at all, had complained to three and received a replacement, but still experiencing the same issue. tried GPS status, ... no GPS lock seems to be found.
This has been happening for the last couple of weeks and I was hoping someone here would have an answer for me.very time I try to access my mail client I get the error message;Mail has stopped unexpectedly. Please tell HTC about this problem. To help HTC improve Mail, select 'Tell HTC' to send an error to HTC'I've hit Tell HTC and followed the prompts, but so far nothing has happened Because of this, I have started using the mail widget so I can view incoming emails, but I can't send emails or open my inbox. similar thing was happening with my messages for a while before this started. If I tried to access my messages from the app icon a similar message would pop up (I told HTC every time) I started using the messages widget which worked and finally the problem stopped altogether.
For no apparent reason my HTC desire has stopped receiving emails. Its been like that for a couple of days now. I have 25MB of internal phone memory left, which should be sufficient.
I have deleted my account amd tried reinstalling it, but that is not working either:
I followed the instructions here to set up the new accoutn using exchange:
How do I get Hotmail on my Android phone? - Get Hotmail on an Android phone
and also tried to do it using the pop server method:
I get the following error: Warning, Cannot connect to the remote server. Please check network settings and try again.
I just purchased this phone the other day & have been using it for a few days now. It seems that some of the features of the phone are not working correctly for me. have added some contacts (as google contacts) using the 'people' app & linked these contacts to their facebook profiles.Now when i browse my all contacts only a small selection of them show their most recent status update underneath their name. I can view the status updates from the other contacts if i select the person and select 'Updates & Events'. However if i try & do this to the contacts who do show their status updates in the main contact list, it says there are no updates for them.
I am new to this and not overly tech savy so pls excuse me in advance! I completed an upgrade on my Desire this morning when prompted to do so on the handset. Since then I have noticed my WIFI is not working. If I turn it on, it goes to "scanning" but has been doing this for nealry 2 hours. I have turned off and back on, also taken battery out for a few minutes and nothing.
I brought Desire C 2 months back, till 2days back it is fine with my ear phone, but suddenly left ear phone is not working suddenly. No twists in the wire & did nothing .I don't know what to do to resolve this problem. I want to know this is the HTC responsible to solve this issue.
I have had my 'HTC Desire S', for a few month's but, never used the camera. When i have chosen to use it does not work. I have spoken to 'T-Mobile' my service provider & all somebody from 'India', told me it could be a 'corrupted SD Card', which I find highly unlikely. So I contacted 'HTC UK', they were not much better & told me to contact my service provider.
it makes it impossible to use the slide out keyboard in low light as i can't see the keys. i'm not good enough to know where they all are . i phoned htc uk ( milton keynes ) and they gave me a ticket # so i sent it back. got it back 2 weeks later . they told me they replaced the mother board and it was fixed. imagine my surprize when on first use the backlight kept going out. -problem not fixed. so back on the phone. they said to send it back, so another ticket # and another 2 week wait. guess what?- they replaced the mother board and guess what / it still didn't work. so back on the phone , they said to send it in and gave me a ticket # this time i insisted they replace the phone as it was the 3rd time for the same problem. i waited for a reply and after 2 days they said they will replace it in 5 days of receipt of my phone. so i sent it back. 7 days later they tell me they received it and i was to wait 5 working days for new one to arrive. guess what ?- 6 working days and nothing. i was on the phone today to them and they said that it will bee 10 working days as they needed parts for it. well i said i'm supposed to be getting a new 1 and they said they are putting it together.. what a load of bull$#!?. so i wrote them a letter.
