hey,
Sorry new to this,
i recently bought a touch 3g, and the guy said it would work on my network. the phone supports by the spec sheet ;
HSDPA/WCDMA:
900/2100 MHz
Up to 384 kbps up-link and 7.2 Mbps down-link speeds
Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE:
850/900/1800/1900 MHz
(Band frequency and data speed are operator dependent.)
the frequency i need is
850/2100 mhz wcdma
Is there a way to flash the rom or to run this?
Cheers
Well, it should work indeed. If you go to the Settings tab, "click" on All Settings, Personal, then open the "Phone" icon, you should see a Band tab which should let you select your network type: GSM, WCDMA or Auto. If it's not on Auto, then set it to Auto. Do the same for the GSM/UMTS band drop-menu.
hey thanks,
however there is a network tab which has "find network"
which comes back with cannot find network.
then a network selection tab that only has manual or automatic. manual select network gives me the networks worldwide which should work so i select 50501 Australia+505 nextG+01 it searches and comes up with can't find settings for network contact network operator.
Ive rang telstra and to no suprise they were less than knowledgeable on the situation than i am.

before rooting my phone under network mode I used to have the option to select WCDMA/HSDPA but after rooting it that option has changed to GSM/WCDMA, how to I fix this?
Unroot........
Naaaah, i have always had gsm/wcdma option, but phone is working in hsdpa mode according to speedtest.net. So it seems to be only a name difference.
i have the same problom my phone has no 3g or H signel anymore
try to enter the apn settings manually.
in the UK we always had GSM/WCDMA even if the phone was running in HSDPA, and since most of you root onto the generic UK firmware that is your answer.
Gsm/hspa is probably a operator specific branding. But its total nonsense , gsm/wcdma is the correct wording as wcdma is umts and hspa is a software specific upgrade which is not available on all towers in most networks.
But in order to use it at all WCDMA (umts) needs to be enabled

having messed up my phone yesterday installing themes/playing....i had to reflash, so after it all finnish i now get H signels fine and 3g in the house ..and yes i have rerooted.
Does anybody know how to turn off HSDPA but leave 3G enabled in this device? I used to have a samsung galaxy mini with this option of selection band and saves battery sooooo far
go to
settings>wireless&networksettings>Mobile Networks
depending on your ROM you will get Use Only 2G networks and Use Only 3G networks

thanks but this isn't exactly what I'm looking for. Is an option that allows you to enable only UMTS and not HSDPA. You could use 3G but without the "H" icon, which means less speed, but more battery life because the device is not switching between UMTS and HSDPA constantly. I know that there's an option to switch only to GPRS, but that's not what I mean... thanks anyway!
Hmmm. When I enable '2g only' I can still use EDGE networks and so forth, it only seems to disable HSDPA - which is how I want it. What do you get when you disable 2g then?

He's talking about UTMS which is one step ahead of EDGE and one step short of HSDPA. I don't believe that there is any way to disable HSDPA only, however like the post above says, you can disable UTMS & HSDPA under settings>wireless and networks>mobile networks>Use 2g networks only.
Hello, I have a AT&T HTC Inspire 4g.
I don`t live in the States, and my problem with that is the fact that in my country the 3g network runs at 2100, and the phone isn`t supporting it.
I read that my operator runs 2g on 900, and also checked that the phone supports it, but there is no option in the menu to change from 3g/4g to 2g
Can you tell me how and if I can do it
Thank you in advance
SOLVED!
Fist write this in "Phone"
*#*#4636#*#*
Then change->
Phone information > Set preferred network type > to GSM only
Then make new access point names - name: simple, apn: simple

Have you tried 2G Toggle?

What do you mean by disabling hsdpa? do you want to use only 3g speeds or you want to use only 2g networks?
for 2g networks, you can find the option to do this in settings, more, mobile networks, "use only 2g networks"
I want to use only 3G = up to 384 Kbps (360 Kbps in practice).
2G EDGE = 250 Kbps (150 Kbps in practice).
3G is optimal saving battery / network speed

Hi guys, just a quick question here. My LTE (4g) is hit and miss so I currently have it set to WCDMA preferred/GSM.
Is there such an option that can give me WCDMA preferred/LTE? (So that my phone can automatically switch to LTE in areas where's its stronger than WCDMA)
If I have it on default LTE preferred it will only switch to WCDMA when LTE is non existant which is useless. I just want it to switch to what ever has the highest signal.
Cheers ?
