I used the unlock code to unlock my D2G and I am in Hong Kong using a local GSM sim card (PCCW 3G). But I can find only 2G network using 'Search networks' function. My setting is GSM/UMTS - Automatic. I have tried other phone using the same sim card and it can find 3G networks. I have typed *#*#4636#*#* and select radio band to USA band (in Phone info -> press menu button -> Select radio band -> USA Band) and it don't have any option for me(other than USA Band). I can see 3G network before and it seems to this problem appeared after I made the USA Band setting in *#*#4636#*#*. What's wrong with my setting? Or is Verizon lock my phone work only on 2G GSM? Can anyone help?:icon_ nono2:Thanks a lot.

I have made the same setting again (*#*#4636#*#* -> Phone info -> press menu button -> Select radio band -> USA Band) and no more network is available now (even 2G network). So I think the setting blocks all the network other from USA radio band. But how can I set it back? Help!!!!:mad:

Does moving the setting back to "Global" help? (I would think that it would still respect the settings you made for GSM, but maybe not).

Or, to sound like a Verizon Wireless customer service rep, factory reset?

I'm running stock ROM updated with the latest software update.
I tried factory reset and now I can make calls and SMS again, but still no data connection.

Hi, I can't tell from the post if you also did the *#*#4636#*#* menu thing and it then stopped working, or if you haven't had a working data connection before.

If it never worked, you probably need to set up the Access Point names for your local SIM. (Settings>Wireless & networks>Mobile Networks. Make sure Network Mode is set to GSM and then go to the Access Point names section. Menu button to add a new APN).

And, if you did a factory reset, that wipes out any APNs that you set.

It never worked, and the APN is defined with the same parameters that I have on a Motorola Defy that's having no data connection issues whatsoever.

Also when I dial *#*#4636#*#* and go to Phone Info and then Select Radio Band, I only find USA Band. No Euro, Auto, Japan, etc.. I think this is not correct.
