Dear friends
i have a unlocked HTC 8525 !! i am in brazil and can't get the sim card here working with my phone. i can see the sim menu and everything but the phone only says no service . i try'd to change the network under phone/menu/option
but i couldn't get it working , and the closest suppor for HTC is in Sao Paulo and im 600 miles away
Help me please
Hi DJFuscao,
I have an HTC Tytn that I regularly use in Brazil (Sao Paulo) since oct 2006.
I´m not sure if I will be really able to help you, but I´ll try to give you at least some information about my experience.
I believe that sometimes autodetect network does not work properly. You may try to change these settings:
- Settings-->(Personal Tab)-->Phone-->(Band tab)--> Select your Network type: change this to GSM
- Settings-->(Personal Tab)-->Phone-->(Band tab)--> Select your GSM/UMTS band: GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(2100)
I have also experienced some problems some months ago when VIVO activated their GSM network. It simply stopped working, kept searching but did not find TIM´s network.
What I have done then:
- I have changed from Automatic Network Selection to Manual (you will find this option on "Settings-->(Personal Tab)-->Phone-->(Network tab)--> Network Selection".
- then I tried to click on Find Network on the same screen
- I chose TIM from the list
It has not worked at the first atempt because there were some different options for TIM on the list but it has eventually worked.
Another thing I would check is if it works with any other GSM carrier from Brazil. If you can borrow a SIM from some friend this could also give you some clue.
You may also find some specific information about HTC 8525 phones in Brazil on the link below:

Hi everibody!
Sorry to ask (I did research but haven't found any related post)
I do have a Vodafone Sapain's account, roaming activated. It usually works OK, but I've found that while travelling in some countries (Uruguay, South Africa) I do get the networks names, but my Trinity fails to connect.
I tracked the problem to a certain combination of SIM cards and my Trinity, but neither my providers nor HTC seems aware of the problem.
BTW, I got my Trinity to work with some other SIM cards, both from Vodafone an a third provider, but some others failed. The same applies, I got mi current SIM to work in a friend's phone while roaming in the same country.
Of course, Vodafone says there is nothing wrong with my card nor the network in these countries.
So I guess there is some incompatability between certain SIMs and the P3600 SW (radio ROM maybe?)
Any help?
Regards.
EXACTLY the same problem
I got exactly the same problem - Trinity + Dopod WM5 ROM + Orange FR.
When in Greece, I do "select networks manually", I get Vodafone, Tim, COSMOTE - it could connect only on COSMOTE. With the same SIM card using an ancient Nokia, I could connect to Vodafone with no problems whatsoever. Sometimes I feel like new technology creates more problems rather than solving them.
Please, could someone help, it was a very frustrating experience.

I never got it fully right, but since I've changed to Movistar the problem seem solved.
I'm almost sure that the problem lies in the "hidden sw" the telcos are putting into the SIMs, but they will never admit......
I use Vodafone Romania as home network and I have travelled in over 25 countries in and outside Europe, with no problems at all.
You might want to check on your Radio and try another version, see if that helps.
Sometimes it helps to manually select operator (there is the option to "Set networks"), and check list of operators to see if the one you want to use is on the allow list.

I do travel every year about as many countries as you, usually with more than one phone and more than one SIM, and I can garantee that operators behave differently, even different SIM types from same operator behave different.
Not an easy answer to a complex problem.
Hello, can someone hepl me with conection to network by HSDPA?
I live in Ireland and i bought internet from here: http://www.buy4now.ie/3g/productdetail.aspx?pid=622&loc=P&catid=2.1
I get this modem with sim card and when i conect it by usb everythink works fine, but when i put the sim card to my SHIFT in Snapvue side it detect 3G signal but Comm Manager will say : ''THERE IS NO DATA SESSIONS ACTIVE. PROGRAMS CONNECT AUTOMATICALLY AS NEEDED. TO CHANGE CONNECTON SETTINGS, TAP SETTINGS.''
When i bought this, in shop the employee make some registration of sim card and modem, i mean the modem have own IMEI and S/N numbers which was registered for work only each other. Maybe i will need to change my SHIFT MODEM IMEI to same as this HUAWEI MODEM USING. It's Huawei Model E220 HSDPA MODEM, FCC ID : QISE220
I was calling to 3G tech support, they sayd i can't using them broudband w/t HUAWEI modem.
Can someone help me ? Thank you very much...
If your 'Snapview' side of the Shift did not recognise the card at startup, you may need to use a different SIM card as Ireland 3G is not supported within the operator settings in 'Snapview' basic.
You need to then 'Liberate' Snapvue, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=378234
Then you can load the Ireland 3G settings if anybody will supply them to you, not sure if they are available as a standalone settings cab.
Hope this helps.
I got it
I used setings for UK 3g and then i changed only one thing in netw. settings, i edited the name from something UK 3g net to 3ireland.ie that's it, now it's working, i will test it and i post my experience here later
I did it on clasical HTC WM, not in full WM
Good for you.
You yourself will probably help a few others with that.
I imagine you changed the APN within Connections which then allowed Network access.
If all goes well can you post exactly what you did for others to use.
Good luck.
Hey,
I unlocked my UK ORANGE HTC with the info I found from this forum. The first time it worked like a charm... Put my Finnish simcard inside and it worked. Both in the UK and abroad.
But I tried to put my Finnish simcard into the phone few days ago and now it cant seem to find network for some reason. The simcard works in other phones and finds network.
When I go to the network settings. The network selection is on automatic. I tried to change it to manual put it says:
"network error. cannot read settings from the network. try viewing settings later, or disconnect dataconnection and try again"
I dont have any dataconnections or anything on. It just keeps searching the network and doesnt find any.
The phone does find network when I put my orange simcard into it.
Any ideas what could be wrong ?
Thanks a million!
anyone have any idea ?
Even I am facing similar problem.
In mine case whenever I move to a roaming network or I try to use a local sim while I am in roaming; I am facing the same problem.
Any solution is highly appreciated.
Thanks
Yash
I am visiting India and put in a local SIM card to use with my HD. It cant get a signal at all. I did get the pop up asking to automatically install the new setting for the sim inserted but can't get a signal.
I did a soft reset as well, but no luck. Phone is unlocked so I can't figure out what the issue is. Same SIM card working fine on my 2g iphone.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Go to settings --> Select Phone --> Band --> Select auto for network type and gsm band --> soft reset and check settings again to make sure if it is saved to auto.
Let me know the results as i am going to delhi next month.

Hi,
I recently bought a HTC Surround (AT&T), im from Costa Rica and we don't have AT&T as a carrier.
The phone works great with the GSM band but when i try to look for any 3G settings (using 850Mhz band) i cant find any options.
According to an article in the internet (i cant post any links yet) there should be an option called "Mobile Network" where i can turn the 3G on or off, so im guessing AT&T disabled the option (phone doesn't have any 3G sign on the sign bar at the top just the antenna bars).
Is there any way to Unlock the 3G options on this phone?
Thank you.
Help me out a little with your request. The place to turn on/off data is under cellular in the settings page. However, I haven't found "Mobile Network" on mine. However, I did download HTC Connection Setup which allowed the phone to search for various carriers and automatically set up the connections. That program is in Marketplace under HTC apps.
BTW, is your phone SIM unlocked?
Thank you for answering ...Sure ill help you with what ever you need... we might be able to narrow down my problem... lets see
1. HTC connection: yea i tried the app actually i have it installed on my phone but its giving me a message saying "Carrier doesnt exist in the data base" that i need to go a create apn (isnt that for phone internet). so i cant use the application, our carrier here is called I.C.E.
2.The band Costa Rica is using for 3G is the 850MHz. my SIM card is linked to a GSM account (1900 MHz) but the phone should be able to recognize the band tho, isnt that right?
3.how do i know if my phone is sim lock? i just placed my GSM SIM card inside and its working, do i need to try with a different card?
4. how does 3G works in this phone? is it configurable?
I'm pretty sure you are going to have to configure an APN for it to use 3G. As for band switching, I don't think it's possible with the current interface (at least on AT&T). Perhaps there are some registry entries that we will soon be able to access when some of the WP7 developers make headway, but right now, there is nothing of which I'm aware. If you can call on your network, the phone is already SIM unlocked, so no need to worry there.
I found some nice info about switching 3G or 2G etc... which it helps but i think it didnt work on mine.
Does anyone know how to set the HD7 (or surround) to 3G only?
Dialer> ##3282# Call > Settings > 3G only.
But in my case what i saw after that was that all the antenna bars were gone and then it went into no service then picked up signal again. After checking the settings after dialing again it was set to automatic again and if a switch it to 3G only it does the same thing again.
So im guessing it didnt work, ill try to talk to my carrier and see if we can create an APN to handle the 3G.
Is there a chance that the 3G feature is locked by AT&T?
Thanks for all your help if by any chance you find out something else i will appreciate the help.
Well apparently i got it fixed my phone seems to be working on 3G right now, i have the 3G sign on the top bar.
To make the story short.
I just configured my internet, added the roaming options and then tried again ##3282# only 3G and it worked now its showing 3G next to the antenna bars.
Thank you jwzg for your help.

Hi. If your SIM card is old (GSM) add APN: icecelular. If your SIM card is new (Kolbi), add APN: kolbi3g

No, you don't have to do any special configuration. I think TMobile bands for 3G are different frequencies from ATT, so sadly, I think you are never going to be able to have 3G connection on your Surround while you are on TMobile. Regards.
mmmmm tmobile used different bands
mmmmm input to sim movistar in htc, rigth in connection setup appers to configuracion of Nicaragua chance to Costa Rica and input sim ice connection don´t exist in data base... :-( mms is not working!!!
