Something different to try: If finding the "001 01" network takes too long and changing the ARFCN also does not help (to make sure that there is no interference) maybe increasing the TRX power changes the result ? Just try it for a short time (one or two minutes) and see if that helps. Here at my place (most certainly a rather "clean" RF environment) I don't have problems to find the "001 01" network, this works with different phones (old and new ones) and only takes about 30 seconds doing a "manual search". I can also see all the other official networks.
Okay I just tried it with "TRX Power: 80mW (GSM)" an it seems to work much better. Three phones found the network in less than a minute and showed it along with the official networks.
However, one phone (k800i) still loses the list of the official networks after connecting to the "00! 01".
More tests later, I don't want to disturb the neighbors. :)
So Andreas, you might want to try increasing the TRX power too.
Thank you. :)
