cannot get 3g working - Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500

I have a GT-I5500...it's aparently a german device according to my pcode...I am unsure of why i cannot get a 3g signal in my area. 3g is available in my market, and my settings are the same as my old device (I copied them from the old device when i transferred the sim card). the phone is brand new, and otherwise works great. was able to upgrade to Froyo using kies, but still don't have a 3g setting. I have checked regularly and the use 2g servers is not checked. I know i can get a 3g connection, but is it possible there is something i am not doing with it, or something i can change to make it work? my carrier is a 3g GSM network, so i know the device should pick it up. any ideas?
BTW...only running on stock at this time...not rooted but running 2.2 froyo.

WM6 upgrade made my data connection drop... Provider: Rogers Wireless

Phone: Htc TyTN
Basically I upgraded, and everything went well, using radio 1.43 and vp3g's wm6 rom...
Phone works very well compared to the previous 1.2x radio and now it shows "Edge" in the connection instead of "G" like it did previously...
The only problem I have is my wireless data connection no longer works...
I have 3 other TyTN's that are setup with the factory default configuration, so if data is required from them in order to setup the new one, it can be attained.
I have noticed that while using vxutil on both the new rom and the factory one, the "cellular line" modem adapter entry looks fine, all ip's are good, but there is a second one on the wm6 device, it says "cellular line 2" and this does not exist on the factory unit.
Also using the vxutil "get hmtl" function on the wm6 device works fine, it will successfully retrieve html, but when I try to browse with IE it does not work and hangs on "locating...".
Any suggestions?
Possible solution
Go to Start - Settings - Click connections in Connections tab
Create a new connection under My Work network as per instructions from ur service provider
Saved Connection ? OK!
Click on Connections again - There would be 2 tabs - Tasks and Advanced
Click advanced
Click "Select Network"
Check both the network selected are "MY WORK NETWORK"
OK
Soft Reset ur device
and u r done!!
Good Luck

nope, still the same problem...
I tried exporting the registry settings for the connection manager from the working TyTN to mine and it wouldn't even connect to its voice service after!
;0
I'm sure there are some specific settings in there that need to be changed (hklm\comm\comnnmgr\providers ??), I noticed that alot of the settings are for cingular...
I've got the same problem. i'm with t-mobile uk. any advice welcomed.

found out what it was!!
I had used the first rom I came across, the vp3g with the cingular extended rom!! doh.
I just installed pro_black_3.0.1 and the newest radio 1.4.7, setup my connection as per my provider's suggetsion, and everything works 100%!!
i get 2900kbps when i'm on 3g and about 140kbps on edge, call quality is pristine and the time to live on a call is instant compared to my 1.3x radio!
highly recommended for anybody on rogers using a TyTN!! (rogers is starting to retail it now for 299$ with a contract!!)
[continued...]
1) back up everything using PPCPimBackup or similar
2) upgrade the bootloader to hard-spl-v7
3) upgrade your Radio ROM to 1.47.00.10
4) upgrade your System ROM to pro_Black_3.0.1
5) setup your rogers wireless internet connection:
cellular 3g, gprs
access point: internet.com
username: wapuser1
password: wap
6) re-run pimbackup and restore your contacts/schedule/emails/etc
7) laugh at others who are still using the rogers wm5 build from mid 2006 and the 1.3x radio that came with it.
haha funny do tell me if ur name display works with WM6

lol, no everything works fine.
1.48
Actually- Radio Rom 1.48 works very well- I've been using it for a few days now. Good battery life (I recommend using a comm-manager or data app to kill HSDPA during idle standby because it does make it run out faster)
1.48 really grabs a signal and holds it- good voice quality too.
But- truth be told- 1.42 that came with it was probably just as good....
If your phone was hanging on Locating and you were using the VP3G ROM, you probably didn't disable the proxy.
VP3G cooks ROMs for AT&T use and AT&T use a proxy to connect to the internet. Rogers does not.
Theres a simple program in Programs/Proxy Manager just run it once and presto.... proxy gone and wifi as well as Rogers works fine.
Its well documented in the wiki as well.
I've used the Black ROMs and the VP3G V3 is far superior in speed and stability. Black has lots of bling but seems far to experimental for serious use.

Rogers branded Hermes200 upgrade issue...

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.

[Q] custom roms only work on GSM

My internet didnt work when i flashed my unlocked HD2, after alot of research i turned off the "3G - Change to GSM mode." option. my internet works now but its painfully slow and i noticed i cant get 3g or HDSPA anymore, does this mean i cant get fast mobile internet anymore?
did you change your radio when you flashed?? might be that, seems unlikely but anythings possible.

This is happening to me too; nice to know I'm not the only one although it seems to be a rare problem.
OTA update which seemed to run without a hitch, stock recovery, coming from rooted but otherwise stock honeycomb. I have voodoo OTA root keeper, which did it's job.
I'm fairly conservative with the tab, I've not changed any of the default settings since the OTA, I let all my apps redownload after the update and their data was still there; I have TiBU but didn't need to use it, definitely haven't restored any system data or aps.
My tab sees the sim card, I can send texts and get replies, it knows what network it's on, I get occasional notifications but can't actually connect to anything (have tried search, the browser, FB app, gmail app, news app, all time out).
The simm card works fine in my phone, the simm card from my phone which gives me mobile data on my phone doesn't on the tab.
Settings says there's no ip address available - I never checked before the update, don't know if this is normal.
I've not bothered much with customising the tab since I mostly use it for work, can anyone suggest where I might start trying to fix this?
eta:
I checked a number of threads about mobile data and honeycomb - to get to mobile network settings you go
settings > more > mobile network
I wasn't in flight mode, packet data was selected, network mode was on auto.
The fix turned out to be changing the apn - there are 6 offered, I worked my way down the list (I could have phoned and asked, but that usually means being on hold for 30 minutes first), most of them had no network at all, the default one had a network connection but no mobile data, one works properly
(my tab is on Optus, the correct apn turned out to be optus preconnect)

[Q] Test if 3G is broken

Hey, so I have a Samsung Galaxy S running CyanogenMod 9.
I want to test if my 3g is actually working or not. I used to use the 3G internet on the phone until I changed plan without mobile internet and now I've changed back. The problem is there is no 3G connection now.
I've been onto my network's forums and followed their instructions for setting up APN's etc. and the settings are perfect (even though I never changed them since the last time it worked)
So my question is that is there some way to test if your 3G hardware is actually functioning?
Bump. Does anyone know anything to test if your 3G h/w is working?
Bump. Anyone?
