[Q] 3G not working - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Yes, ive searched the forums and read Wiki. Since flashing my HD2 with latest NRG rom with MaxSense (which ROCKS .. please someone take over maxcys work!) .. No 3G. Android MDJ Revolution HD also only runs on 2G. Never even heard of that! Sim is unlocked and running on ATT network. Android version is 2.2. Radio is 2.12.50.02...2. So no 3g on WMP or Android! Any ideas on what i should try??
TIA

I think you have T-mobile HD2 version, if so then your HD2 will never work with AT&T 3g bands which is (850mhz -1900mhz).
if you want 3G on your phone you need to move with T-mobile (1700mhz) which is compatible with your T-mobile branded HD2.
No software can solve this problem since it's 3g bands compatibility with ISP are related to hardware.

[Q] No 3G network on HD2 using 2.2 Froyo Cyanogen mod 6

Hello,
I recently bought a HTC HD2 and gotten unlocked to work with my ATT sim card also I had someone install the 2.2 Froyo Android software using Cyanogen Mod 6. Since I had the phone I have only been using Edge network and I know for sure we have 3g coverage. How can I get my 3G network to work on my phone? Please help. I am a newb when it comes to cell phones.
Thanks
Matt
someone correct me if i am wrong but the 3g bands for att and t-mo are different so even if you have 3g coverage you would only get edge. For faster speeds youll have to use wifi.
Do you have a Telstra-branded HD2? IIRC, Telstra uses the same 3G bands as AT&T. In that case you should be able to get 3G. Otherwise, the unbranded & T-Mo branded HD2s wouldn't work with AT&T 3G.

Unless you have the Telstra HD2 (there will be a T in an oval on the back bottom cover), you won't get 3G on ATT. The Telstra model is the only one with the ATT 3G band (the 850mhz UMTS band).
You will ALSO need to have 850mhz ATT coverage in the areas where you live and travel to get 3G on that model.
Hope this helps...
Hi!
I was wondering if there is a way to change that? Installing a new ROM, a software or something!! I bought the TMo HD2 and brought it to South America. Here we use the 850 MHz frequency for 3G, and I just found out the HD2 works with 3G networks in the 1700 and 2100 MHz frequencies =( Is there a way I can change that ???

I checked and there is no T on my phone or cover. But I have cyanogen Mod 6, I was wondering if anyone else has this problem.
thanks

AT&T

I did a search and couldn't find my inquiry so i ask the great minds of XDA for help. I just got a unbranded HD2 with my AT&T SIM card. What's the recommended ROM? Also, will i be able to get 3G? My SPL is 3.03, from what i read, would i need to Downgrade that SPL or can i just get HSPL with no problems?
Big Thanks to whomever can answer this question.
well from what i know it depends oh which hd2 you have. i have a tmous hd2 and can only get edge cause the 3g bands are different, you need to find out what your 3g band is and if its the same as att's. if its the testra version you should be able to get 3g
I have a TMoUS HD2 on AT&T's network and it works perfectly though it is only Edge, (no 3G).
I'm using Cleanex Core 1.00 WWE with Radio 2.10.50.28_2 and it is fast, smooth, with great battery life with data connection and Wifi on all the time.
As others have said.. it really depends on what you bought. I recently purchased a Telstra HD2 which has 3G bands that are compatible with AT&T 850 MHz towers here in the US. And boy does it smoke on 3G
Telstra HD2 ROM change for ATT?
Radon222,
Did you flash your Telstra HD2 ROM to get rid of the proprietary glitz from the Telstra carrier programming?
Any recommendations on a vendor for the Telstra HD2?
I have the unlocked TMOUS HD2 on the ATT network.
Investigating an upgrade to the Telstra HD2 for the 3G speed.

I bought my Telstra used from Doug on Mobility Digest. So I couldnt really recommend a vendor. It was already flashed with an NRG ROM when i got it but have since upgraded both the HSPL and flashed the latest NRG.
So Far I really love this phone. The 3G speed is incredible as long as you aren't in Manhattan and are covered with an 850 MHz tower.

[Q] HTC HD2 T8585 does not work on the Bell network?????

hey there people,
I've had my HTC HD2 T8585 for almost a year now and have been on the Rogers Canada network ever since.
Recently, Bell Mobility setup some new towers in my location with HSPA+
Since I was stuck and Rogers (until now they only had GSM in my area) and wanted to switch to Bell which I now did.... my phone does not pick up the new network.
I know that my phone has the hardware and software to support the new network.... right?
I'm out of ideas and am open to new ones.... anyone?
This isnt the forum for this.. try the other sections.

[Q] Htc hd2 T-moobile

Hi , I have Htc hd2 t-mobile and i sent it to the company to unlock , when i tried to use vodafone sim card it worked but the 3g service didn't work anyone could help me please really it will be very useful .
Different 3g bands? What country you in?
Egypt and i bought it from USA
I do not know what bands/frequencies your carrier uses but you more than likely will not get 3G on your HD2. You see the T-Mobile HD2 is branded to T-Mobiles 3G bands/frequencies for 3G. This is done by the hardware in the phone, so no ROM or app will allow you to get 3G if your carrier does not use the same bands/frequencies. The best you will get is Edge on your HD2.
Tmous the network uses AWS meaning it uses both the 1700 and 2100 channel, one for upload one for download. Most other networks use one for up and down.

A North American Aria radio uses GSM 850/1900 for the 3G frequencies which isn't compatible with the rest of the world. The radio is hardware, thus there is no software solution available to modify a NA Aria to use the GSM 900/2100 frequencies for 3G, so you will never be able to get 3G except in the North/South America

Thanks for the reply. I've got a couple questions:
1) Can I change the radio, is there a simple way?
2) What if I had bought my Aria from a non at&t shop. Would it still have the same problem?

The radio hardware can't be changed.
There are different versions of the Aria around the world. The one you need has the model number A6380 and is named "HTC Gratia" in most countries where it is sold (but some regions still call it "HTC Aria").
