Hello to all.
Yesterday I flashed finally my Optimus 7 OPN with Vodafone DE.
Everything looked fine except internet connection.
Firt of all, its a Vodafone branded firmware, so obviously its configured to work on Vodafone.
And more obviously, Vodafone won't let you download, the cool network APP of LG, so most of LG software won't be available on the marketplace.
The solution is:
flash your phone with vod-de, get it updated to 7740, and then you have 2 ways to solve the issue.
1-the fastest way
If you have wifi connection, unplug your WP7 from PC, make it operator unlock through MFG, and relock proof, so restart the phone, and you will notice, that LG software will appear in the marketplace.
download the operator wizard, and restart, and have fun.
2-if you don't have WIFI
Like in my case, i didn't have Wifi, so the steps are the same, but when it comes to open marketplace, you won't be able, because Zune won't let you open it. so you got to write in google: your operator + APN
it will result a list of pages giving you the APN code for your operator.
normally its only one code, but it could have password, username and so on.
go to connections networks and add APN
Write down the codes you got from the page, and that should be enough.
for example here in spain, the most of operators, only have APN Internet.
ok now that you got internet, don't forghet to give an eye on the LG Network APP, because maybe one day, you'll change your SIM, and you'll probably get the problem again.
I hope this topic was useful.
bye!

So okay, I've posted this topic earlier but forgot it and stuff so here's the problem:
I have a HTC P4350, with provider KPN (Netherlands). I've never had any problems at all, but when I tried to 'pimp' my phone a bit, it went wrong. I had to do a Hard-Reset on it, but when I did this, my phone isn't having a good signal!
So usually you have the 3-4 bars at your connection logo, but even when I'm outside sometimes, it won't find a signal and there will be the 'No Connection' error. I cant make a call/ be called or send a message/receive messages.
Please help me.

Try another radio mate, you can find a lot in the Wiki depending on your device and actual ROM, I had similar problems and after testing 5 different radios finally found the more suitable to me
Hope this helps
Good luck

this is soo annoying.
Same problem
Hello
I have this same problem with my XDA Zinc. Yesterday something happened to my PDA and since then its not showing up any network service.
Though all the other "wireless" features are working, this one alone is screwed up.
It searches for network and then says No service or Unavailable.
I tried phone settings -> changing the Network from Automatic to Manual, but then says it cannot read the network settings. I also tried "Set network" , but same error.
I am staying in switzerland and i have a mobile connection called Lebara.
Four months back, when i bought this connection, i had the same problem, but i did something and fixed it. (As far as i remember i fiddled with the Set Network, and it showed me list of all networks from all the countries, and i checked my service provider, and it worked). after that i never had any problems, until yesterday afternoon.
I put my sim card in another mobile phone and it worked. i tried soft reset and even hard reset, but all in vain.
One doubt i have about the hard reset, : It displays a screen with DOS like fonts and when i give hard reset, it restarts. But i have all my data (softwares and contacts intact.) did it really do hard reset?? If not how do i do that?
Also can you give me links for latest ROM updates, I am just wondering if a ROM update would fix this up. i have windows mobile 6.0.. Any "official" updates after that for XDA Zinc??
Please help me as i get very important calls , and i am completely paralyzed since morning.
Ok.. I am not sure if this is the problem , or if doing something with, my problem would be solved..
I went to O2 Autoconfig, and there It says ,
Current Network: 3 Australia
Detected Network: Lebara
And in Preferred Network,
Country: Australia,
Operator: 3 Australia
The country does not have Switzerland..
Though my network is Lebara, and it shows detected network as same.. Does it mean that it "knows" its Lebara, but due to some reason its not connecting.. , or is it that it is the "history" of my last connection..??
I am not sure, but if i can add "Switzerland" inside country list, then i may be able to solve this problem. (am i correct? )
If so, how do i do that..??
ok..
Now that nothing is working , i am getting F****** frustrated.. I tried Schap's Setup operator. http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2008/01/29/schaps-setup-operator-v03.html
However it does not show my service provider for my country (Switzerland)..
I put an orange sim card (since it had orange in the list).. I tried this again with this new orange sim card.. but that also didnt work..
Can anyone help me out PLEASE????????????????????????????
i need help ASAP... PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEe
Hi...i'm having a problem connecting to the mobile web with vodafone ireland. i have a touch diamond that i bought locked to orange uk and unlocked it but it just will not get the settings right. i've tried an 02 sim card with no problem and i've tried a 3 sim card, again with no problem, which leads me to believe that its not the phone. i contacted vodafone but you might as well be talking to a brick wall. they could only send me the settings for the closest model, which is the vodafone v1520. sorry for the long waffle...but i love my phone and i don't wanna change network so i'll be forever indebted for any help!!
Vodafone Gprs
Hey
http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&threadid=106942
Check out the above link and use the settings for GPRS on old handsets. works for me, FINALLY. One thing to be wary off however, vodafone charges you a 20 cent connection charge EVERY time you connect to the service, even if you don't do anything on it.... so if you connect in the morning, just leave it on lol!
hope this helps,

New Hero. Originally sold by Orange UK. Unlocked and imported to Ireland.
New sim from 3 Ireland.
Sim goes into Hero, but Hero does not connect to network. Occassionally phone makes brief connection to 2G roaming partner (Vodafone), but never 3G connection to 3 network.
Manually search for networks and select 3 (or any network for that matter) and phone says "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network".
"Mobile Network - Connect to internet" option in settings seems disabled (greyed out, can't be changed).
Have tried HTC, Orange, T-Mobile and MoDaCo ROMs.
Can anyone please suggest a fix. This is surely a phone setting thing? It can't be that 3 USIMs just don't work in the phone can it? I mean I haven't got the APN configured properly, but I should still be getting basic phone services no?
Did you get this fixed? I am having the same problem trying to use Three sim in England on a Orange Hero. It accepts the network unlock code but then stays on the 'unlocking sim' screen and I left it for ages.
No. Gave up and am staying with my old provider (3 didn't seem too interested in holding onto me as a new customer).
I've been posting this query in a few places. In one thread a guy from England said his 3 Sim used to work but then suddenly began exhibiting the behaviour I have described. I think he said a factory reset fixed it. Anyway, some have supposed that this could be a bug in Android/Hero that makes it incompatible with 3. I personally suspect its more about 3.
Thanks anyway. There must be a way round it, I'll find it.
Be sure to post if you do.

I've faced with absolutely the same problem, with my new HTC Hero. I bought it 4 days ago on eBay in UK. It also locked to orange. Please contact me if you'll find out something! I like this handset very much. It would be great if I can also make calls with it

This is MAJOR weird. Chances are, the new USIM is not compatible. I've got mine for about 2 years, first in a W910i, now in Hero (sim-free, UK). Everything worked first time in the Hero, just needed APN settings for MMS and data. Surprisingly, MMS won't send or download while on WiFi. Mine's currently running on the leaked 2.73.405.5 ROM (not MoDaCo).
Maybe try someone else' sim, from 3 or other network and see if that works.

Well I've never actually unlocked a phone myself so I don't know, but of its hanging then I would guess its not unlocking properly so its not going to work.
Maybe contact the person you bought the code from and ask for help or another code. Otherwise I wonder if reflashing the ROM would help?
Hero on 3 Ireland
I am using a 3 Ireland "3pay" prepaid SIM with my white Hero (completely unlocked, imported from UK). Works fine! I got the "mobile broadband" prepaid package about a year ago and had to buy a usb modem (sitting on my desk ever since) with the sim card.
You need to enter the 3ireland.ie APN, but no other magic incantations
Occasionally, I get the "Roaming" indicator in the notification bar on the Hero (weak signal might cause this). Then, clearly, no internet. Its not roaming with another provider either. I strongly suspect that this is a 3 bug. Reconnecting to the 3 network fixes it.
PS: I'm in Dublin and usually get a HSPA connection ("H" icon)
PPS: You do not need to top up your 3 sim in order to connect to http://my3.three.ie (indeed, on that web page you can enter your prepaid voucher #).

Hmm, you guys seem to have some strange issues with those 3 USIMs. Maybe checking serial numbers or chip revision would shed some light into this. My USIM is not only working fine, but also happily roaming (GSM + data!) when I tell it to do so. Heck, I've spent two weeks in Italy on "3 Italy" with this USIM and it worked fine.
Ok since posting on here yesterday I have rooted my phone and put on modacos latest rom and its still not working, I have tried two seperate three sims and a vodafone sim. Given that the vodafone sim is also not working Im thinking it's a problem with the unlock code.
I'll contact them and see what they say.

Maybe I was not clear enough: Every couple of days, I get the roaming indicator while being in Ireland. Clearly, you can't roam to another Irish network. While I haven't tried it yet, I'm pretty sure that roaming outside of Ireland will work (worked before I got the Hero).

It looks like we have the same problem.
As I promised above, it is the detailed description.
First case:
Turn on the phone with orange SIM card - everything works fine.
Turn on the phone with any other SIM card (I actually tried 3 other SIM card from 3 different providers). It asks unlock code. Enter unlock code I bought (actually any code containing 8 digits) it says "Network unlock successful." But after that it allow only emergency calls and if I try to make a call I see "Not registered in network" message. After reboot it asks unlock code again.
Second case:
If I do "restore to factory defaults" and turn it on the first time with my (no orange) SIM card, it asks unlock code I enter correct unlock code (salesman gave me one, and after that I also bought the same code in the Internet )
it hangs with phrase "Unlocking SIM card...". (Actually "turn off menu" works, I even can make an emergency call, but that is all I can get from it)
Also I noticed that in the first case there is strange line on the bottom of the screen (of the size of the notification bar).
I have tried different ROMS (original, rooted, latest, modacos) all the same. I only didn't try to downgrade radio firmware. I don't know if it can help. I upgraded to latest one even before I get the unlock code. As I already mentioned I also tried all SIM card I can obtain, the problem is obviously doesn't caused by SIM/Network incompatibility. Btw, my SIM card works OK in another HTC Hero (which was bought with my one).
I think it is problem with unlock procedure itself, not with code correctness. If wrong code entered it must say something like "wrong code", but for any 8 digit code it says "Network unlock successful". Is is the symptom! )
I do not know what to do further
Ok, I have now had a reply from Unlock Now, they said it must be an issue my phone (although we have now established it's an issue with orange phones) but they did refund my payment.
I'll keep looking into this and post back if I find anything out.

I bought the same unlock code on two different sites, finally both did refund It is OK, but what will we do further?
I've decided started a new thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=560105) as I don't think it is just a problem with Three sims as the Vodafone one I tried didn't work.
I'll still post back here if we get any useful info.
My friend got a T-Mobile myTouch 3G from USA. They said to him that the phone is unlocked, and he still has a code recieved from T-Mobile. But, whenever the phone is switched on, there is no signal, and it asks me to input google account. Is there anyway to bypass it just to get in Android?
If another code is needed for buying, that's not a problem, but we just want to make the phone works.
thanks in advance!
are you talking about SIM LOCK?? if its still locked, put the NEW SIM card into the phone (not the t-mobile card). That will enable you to enter the UNLCOK code, which you will have to purchase elsewhere (look on ebay, i buy mine there)
Now the Google account is straightforward, come on everyone has a Google or Gmail account. When you turn the phone on and that Google account screen appears, hit MENU and WIRELESS SETTINGS will appear. Now connect to a WiFi network and log into you Gmail account.
If you dont goto Google NOW and get a account. Also make sure you post this in the GENERAL section or Q/A section, this is for ROMs and DEVs
No mate, you didn't understand me. His friend overseas got that phone, and sent it to him here in Serbia. Phone came in original T-Mobile pack, without the T-Mobile SIM card. He also got an unlock code from T-Mobile which he still has written on a piece of paper. But, when we enter any other SIM card (Telenor Serbia, VIP Serbia), we don't have signal, and we can't get through first screen which asks you for Google account. Since we don't have signal, we cannot use 3G/Edge data, and there is no way to use wireless (you cannot choose it).
So to be more clear, you power up the phone, there is emergency call button and change language button and Android logo. You click on Android, it asks you for Google account, but you cannot use wireless (and there is no signal to use data services)
So, the thing is, I posted it into Dev section so someone can say me if I can maybe flash some ROM onto it and disable this startup screen.
Thanks for your help anyway!
Did you press Menu at screen with google account? If your T-Mobile has Android 1.6 - there is options to setup wireless connection
Didn't think of that, thanks a million times!
There I cou'dve choose network and setup my APN, so after that everything worked
Thanks once again!
Hi all!
My friend's X8 has no problems. It's fine. Everything is good. Software is updated to the latest with that awful SE desktop application. I had a HD2 and an SGS2 so I know the big picture about android phones. BUT. It can not connect to any mobile networks. It's a locked phone to T-Mobile Hungary. It can find the actual carrier list, but can not connect.
Please help me guys
So you need to unlock it. Look at this thread.
If I decypher the original message: cannot connet to ANY mobile networks, jut sees them, but as a fact it is locked.
It it can connect to T Hungary, then there isn't any problem with the device, it's just locked.
If cannot connect to T Hungary and anything else, but sees them, that is a softwer problem in my opinion (not a dev).
It can be unlocked for $9.99 here: LINK (don't like to advertise)
They are doing a maintenance at the moment, but should be done with it sooner or later.
it can see all networks, but cant connect to any of them. not even tmobile. are there any chance that the carrier put the imei to a black list for any reason?
btw the phone was working fine, but suddenly it was unable the connect to the cellular network.
