Good news - as a complete noob I followed instructions and have a working WM6 on my UK T-mobile Ameo. Bad news - my internet has become temperamental.
The 3G symbol changes to H after entering an address in either browser.
- Sometimes it loads the page and after a few seconds the H returns to a 3G.
- Sometimes it changes to H and displays "Loading..." and either hangs or loads the page after 30-60 seconds
- Sometimes it switches to and from 3G/H a few times and eventually shows a "page cannot be displayed" error.
- Similar temperamental behaviour in my email and weather applications.
The above is how it behaves immediately after I have run the network wizard, although tweaking with server DNS or Flight Mode on-off have not helped.
Don't seem to be any problems if I just use 'G' GSM only phone setting. Today I'm in central London.
Any suggestions please? Anyone else experiencing this?
Thanks
Jonathan
You can turn off HSDPA on the settings menu with Ameo WM6, this will leave you with 3G speeds only but the difference will be minimal anyway unless you're downloading files or using remote desktop.
See if that helps
And watchout, if you use the wizard you will probably notice that the access point name of your T-Mobile provider is no longer "internet".

Do you know what the correct settings are for TMob UK?
Web&Walk
I have always used
Username - User
Password - one2one
APN - general.t-mobile.uk
And that is it - worked for me on every HTC device I have ever used
Uni's , Magician , Wizard , Hermes & now on the Ameo - I have never been billed outside of the W & W , and I have always got 3G or HSDPA where applicable
I think the offical Username is 'T-mobile' and the password 'internet'
Thanks for the suggestions.
The username/password combinations I tried all seem to work, although I'm sticking with the default from Network Wizard for now. I saw suggestions that using public DNS servers can speed up the "Loading..." wait.
I suspect the original Ameo ROM has HSDPA disabled for a good reason. For example, when loading Opera for the first time in a session, even with a blank start page, the software passes some information online. The time it takes the Ameo to switch from 3G to H for this often times Opera out and produces an error.
Even with HSDPA off I'm still getting regular errors but am not sure whether it's T-mobile coincidentally playing up, or the upgrade.
I think youll find HSDPA isnt disabled, it works, it just doesnt show the H.
I did a speed test on original TMob rom, and got far above 3g speeds.
I am based in Whitstable , Kent , and I have notced that T-mobile HSDPA performance can be a bit shaky every now and again - and the problems that you describe are a similar to what I have seen when the network is mucking around - with that data movement stopping and the indicator changing back and forth between 3G & H , I too thought it was a fault , but it went right on it's own

Hello all,
Well stupid me decided to upgrade my Rogers branded Hermes200 (TtYN) to wm6 without knowing everything I needed to. Installed HardSPL and then the HK English rom.
Phone portion works great
After searching and reading, I found the settings for connecting to the Internet for Rogers. Great.
Tried setting up active synce and it gave me the certificate not vailid error.... installed the cert on the new rom and with the h200 hooked up via usb to the computer it syncs up with my exchange server perfectly.
When I disconnect from the PC, direct push stops working....
When I force a send/receive.... it sits at 'connecting...' for a few minutes and if I'm lucking enough to be watching, it comes back with a 'connection error' message on the status bar before it flips back to number of messages in the inbox display...
The one BIG thing (not sure if it is big) is with the original ROM I'd get a 3G connection with serfing the net, doing data transfers, now I get an H connection, not sure if that is the issue, but it is the only thing I can see right now....
Any suggestions?

I can't really comment on the others, but your H vs. 3G issue isn't an issue at all. The fact that your device shows H just means that you have access to Rogers' new Vision network (HSPDA). Cooked ROMs use an H to differentiate HSDPA (3.5 generations technology, faster) from the 3G for UMTS (3rd generation technology, fast but not the fastest). Because HSPDA is an enhancement of UMTS and is built on top of it, a lot of Windows Mobile 5 ROMS (like the stock Rogers ROM) don't differentiate the fact that it's an HSDPA connection, even though it is, and just show a generic "3G". So... rest assured, the H thing is not a bad thing.
Hi everybody,
there is something very strange with my HD2 (Orange FR) :
before I'm sure that there was the icon "3G" on the top right corner of the phone while I could connect to the 3G and then when I connected (to download the weather for instance) where was a second icone 3G with the antenna.
While I go in vacation in the south of France, I didn't see any more the second icon on the antenna. Maybe I make a mistake and I dreamed and I've never seen the second icon 3G with the antenna before... that's why I said "maybe" in the title .
To be sure I made speed test with a web site (I didn't find a tool for Win6.5 such like there is on android).
Download speed : 377 kbps
Upload speed : 420 kbps
Firstly, I'm surprised that the upload is greater than the download. I tried two times to be sure.
My package (Orange) allow me to use 3G+ but it is not always available at my location (not in a big town).
Please, could you indicate if there is a problem with my HD2 or if I could act on a specific setting or if I'm wrong and all is OK ? I tried to find the official/real speed of E, H, 3G 3G+ but I didn't find it.
I tried to change the radio : 2.10.50.28 and 2.12.50.02 under NetDrj ROM.
Now my config : Radio 2.11.50.26 and last Chucky ROM
Nothing changed with my new config.
Notice that I could go on internet with my phone, download weather etc.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I continued to search for answers to my problem, and finally I found :
http://htc-touch-diamond.forumactif...ctivesync-usb-f21/edge-3g-3g-resolu-t5370.htm
(in french)
Now I'm sure I made a mistake and I'd never seen the icon "3G" more the antenna...
For Orange FR there is no more simple "3G". All the network is on HSPDA and "H" is indicated on the HD2. If someone as more information he can post on this thread.
Thanks !
I've this Problem with my HD2, if I am connected via UMTS some time, Mails stopp being delivered and I cant reach Websites although Taskbar Icons show connectet "H", "3G" oder "E".
If I reconnect everything works again.
I had this with a lot of roms including serveral Versions of Artemis.
While this is quite annoying if you quickly want to google sth. and have to reconnect, it is the killer for beeing reachable via mail on the go.
Anyone a Idea? Current Rom is Artemis 6.0 Radio is 2.15.50.14 Dataplan is Simyo (Eplus) Flat Germany.
Thank a lot for helfping!!
Hello everyone! I've encountered a substantial problem with my galaxy s2 and I would like your help, if possible.
This problem is related to the mobile network. Each time I try to connect to a website I get some kind of error, from 'Data connectivity problem' to 'Server failed to communicate' and even the traditional 'Web page not available'.
Note: There are a couple of websites that seem to work, such as: m.orange, m.facebook.com and m.yahoo.com.
At this point I would like to mention that Wi-Fi works as intended, with no problems whatsoever.
As for the mobile network, I believe I have the right settings resembled in the APN settings. Data connection is turned on, and I have tried both GSM and 3G. I have also tried different internet browsers, such as Opera, with the same result: only m.orange, m.facebook and m.yahoo seem to work.
It is quite frustrating at times not to have access to a mobile network. I would like to add that this problem remains to any apps that need a network connection in order to run. Therefore, I cannot run anything (Android Market, Google Maps, Youtube app, etc etc).
Thank you for your time. Please advise!
First of all, double check APN settings, see if your provider has an app in the market, or sometimes you can send an SMS and they'll sms you settings.
Secondly, try another modem, you may have a weak modem, before doing this download speedtest and check your connection speed and post that up. To see hows well it's connecting.
Thirdly, check your operators website to make sure they are not having network difficulties in your area.
Is their a setting that turns standard web pages off because that's what it looks like .

Visit the webpage of your service provider. Usually on their support page you can have their data/mms settings sent to you by sms which then will be "auto-installed" on your phone. Good luck!
I've spend over a month trying to battle the issues with not able to use Live services and Marketplace over the 3G connection.
I've been back and forth with plenty of hard resets adviced by Zune support - no change.
I've been back and forth with plenty of hard resets adviced by WinPhone support - no change.
I've even swapped SIM cards - no help.
Issue:
You can't download apps/music or stream music using 3G. On wifi it works fine.
Reason:
HTC WiFi bug goes deeper than we think. It's not just being or not being able to run 3G and WiFi together or low WiFi signal. But if you at times try and download or ugrade using WiFi and use 2G mode at the same time - you will get this. As soon as you switch from 2g to 3g and switch off wifi - nothing will download off your marketplace.
Solution:
I've reproduced it many many times. However, it will only happen if your SIM doesn't have APN settings on it i.e. non-contract phones using certain pay as you go networks i.e. Tesco, Lyca, Giffgaff, Talktalk
When you go 2g/3g swapping and use wifi - the phone forgets your APN settings. Once you switch to 3g, go to APN settings, edit your password by writing your password again and save it. Restart phone. Now your 3g will work again. You have to do this every time you use combo of wifi/2g or sometimes even when using wifi and then switching to 3g.
Moan:
I've contacted HTC, they don't care, they think it doesn't exist. They want my phone to be sent for repairs. I am not doing it as I have only one phone. I know HTC won't even acknowledge the earlier Wifi bug. But luckily we have workarouns.
Have you tried running the HTC connection setup to see if that resolves the situation in some way?

Yes I did that too. But HTC connection setup settings are forgotten as soon as you swap away from 3g. So everytime I come back to 3g, I have to re-fresh my APNs manually and restart! - such a pain.
thanks....
