4G was recently introduced in cayman islands and for whatever reason I am only able to pick up Edge. I am running MccMBoxMax v8.
It works fine on 3G in the UK with a t-mobile 3G sim. I checked with the local operator in cayman called LIME (ex cable and wireless) and they believe it is the ROM I am using.
I have noticed that when I use the phone as a hotspot it sends out in 3G.
Can someone help since my network operator seems clueless.
thanks

Howzit guys,
I brought a HTC Aria in the USA on AT&T network. I came back to SA and rooted my phone put Android v2.2 on (phone came with v2.1) thinking that would unlock the phone, but it didn't. I ended up looking on the net for a website that I could get an unlock code for my phone. Long story short, I found one, paid for it and it worked. I'm using the phone on Vodacom no matter what I do I can't get 3G or HSDPA to work, only GPRS. HSDPA and 3G work fine in the states.
After doing some research I noticed that in the Mobile Network settings on the phone there is 3 options under Network Mode:
1. WCDMA only
2. GSM only
3.GSM / WCDMA auto
Now from what I've seen I need to use WCDMA to get the 3G / HSDPA to work, but when I select option 1. I don't get any signal and then phone eventually switches to GSM automatically. I was at work on the weekend helping a customer with her laptop and she had a 8•ta 3G modem, and 8•ta 3G modems are currently running off of MTN's network I was told this by an 8•ta technician and I noticed when connecting the modem it said something regarding WCDMA.
So now my question, if I change to MTN do you think I will be able to use 3G / HSDPA on my phone?
Any info regarding this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
The American version of the Aria uses different 3G frequencies (because that's what AT&T uses), so unfortunately your phone will not work with 3G in South Africa. There is a different version of the Aria (called Gratia in most regions) that is the exact same phone except it supports the correct 3G frequencies for your country, but there's nothing you can do with the phone you have now to make it work.
Hey there,
I recently got my Htc Hero Uk "Chin" Model Phone its running 2.1 Firmware version,
and other than it not being the fastest thing in the world I get very poor signal. I also cannot receive 3G signal I can only get "h" this phone was previously orange but was unlocked, I have no other knowledge at all. I need to sort this out its driving me crazy! Rooting what ever it takes Im a noob at andriod's but everyone was there at one stage and id really appreciate any help you guys/gals could give! thank you regards robert.
+ The signal is fine with a orange sim card in it seems to pick up the 3g network and the 3 network sim card is fine I get full signal in another phone.
I'm on TELUS, a Canadian carrier here that operates an HSPA+ (and only that, no 2G) network. I'm on my Legend, and the "H" can only possibly be connected to their network and i receive 3G speeds to my mobile device.
Oh yeah, TELUS used to carry the Hero. I can assure you that H = 3G.
...if I'm wrong, FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU-

You are right. H = 3G. At least with my carrier. Orange Slovakia

If you hero work on the network to do all of those said up by you, i think that the 3g doesn't work because you checked to only use 2g network...take a look in menu -> settings -> wireless -> mobile network -> and see if USE ONLY 2g network is enabled...if yes just uncheck it
PS: do you run a custom rom?

Using mobile internet while abroad is extremely expensive!
If it's a European/Asian Hero, chances are it won't match ATT's 3G antenna frequency.
If it's a Canadian Hero from TELUS however, of course it will work, although the device must be first SIM-unlocked.

Hello
I have a problem with my phone.
Model number: GT-I9100
Androiud version: 4.0.4
Baseband version:I9100XXKG6
Cyanogenmod version: 9-20120523
I've bought a WIND sim card and it works fine with a nokia phone, but somehow it doesn't work with my SGS2 at all.
I mostly don't get any signal with it , just once in a while a full signal but I just can choose Roger and Mobilicity as network. There is no WIND network and I can't do any phone calls or something.
I don't know what to do because it just works fine with the Nokia phone.
I changed the Custom Rom to WIUI and stock rom but no change.
Probably because that phone doesn't have aws frequencies it only works on bell rogers telus virgin

when I used WIUI it shows not Rogers and Mobilicity anymore but only WIND HOME and WIND AWAY, but I can't be registered on both.
It will be impossible to connect to Wind Home. Wind uses the 1700 UMTS frequency (same as T-Mobile USA) and the i9100 supports UMTS 850/1900/2100. The only SGS2 that supports the AWS frequency is Telus' SGS2X.
You now have three options if you want to use your phone:
1) Buy a new phone that's AWS compatible
2) Connect to Wind Away and enjoy roaming charges for everything
3) Switch to another Carrier that's not based on AWS
I'm sure I've got a sms from WIND after togging up saying I'm good to go.
And even when I use the Roger Network, I can't do any calls or anything.
Why is that so?
The answer above hasn't changed. Just because you can see the networks doesn't mean your phone supports the frequency required to make calls. Sim card doesn't matter either because its the network that's the problem.
Hi,
i have Motorola Photon rooted and unlocked, i live on the border with Mex also i have this phone with a Mexican Telcel SIM Card, works perfect on Mex, but when i back to USA i lost the Mex network and the phone start to search for networks and i just see Sprint network, but i can't receive or made phone calls on sprint network roaming, if i remove the sim card and put the sim on my HTC i can see more networks, sprint, AT&T, verizon, etc and i can go in to roaming and works perfect, i can made and receive calls on roaming, but if i back the sim to the Photon i just find a sprint network only and the roaming service not work..
what can i do to see more networks on my photon?? i need receive calls from mex on this phone..
thanks in advance
You need to flash the kddi radio. That should fix your roaming issues. After that you need to set the mobile network to GSM only
