HSDPA is a form of 3G. Sometimes called as 3.5G as it is faster than 3G.. So you can't change to 3G(UMTS)

ro.ril.hsxpa=0 build.prop tweak don't work for me

HSDPA/UPA is much better than 3G/UMTS ..
and i think that 3G and H shared the same ....bandwidth ..or H is high a little ..

[Q] 3G not working after update to 2.1 from Nordic

Hi; i have update to 2.1 but 3G now working now.
How can i resolve it?
you probably flashed your phone with e10i software when your phone is e10a...
or either that you dont have 3G turned on
I'm really confused about whether e10a can receive 3G or not with e10i flash. Some say yes..some say no and I really dont want edge only. It seems like it works for X10a with X10i flash.
I have e10a, i flashed with 2.1 for e10i, and obviously i lost 3g, because 3g bands are not the same. If you want 3g again u will need to downgrade to 1.6, if that's possible

Anyone have 2.1 e10a generic?
i have hsdpa and edge.....but not 3g......is that normal or possible?

2G = GPRS
2.5G = EDGE
3G = UMTS
3.5G = HSDPA/HSUPA
3G=7,2 Mbit/s <-> 3.5G=14,6 Mbit/s
is x10 faster since the 2.1 update ????
I'm using x10 mini android 2.1 now. How can I reinstall the 3G inside my phone? sorry for my bad english
2.1 is much better.
The only issue is that i lost 3G and would like to get it on again.....suggestions?
yeah same with me too..how to get my 3G back for my phone?
if you have a e10a you need to update with e10a firmware
mine is x10 mini and I already update to e10 firmware
3g
Apparently people with the e10a model who flashed with e10i rom have lost 3g ( big x10 doesnt have that problem), but some people report to have hsdpa.
Can anyone with an e10a with 2.1 (e10i rom) make a report on download speed?
A program that works well is tubemate as it connects to the fast servers of youtube and shows the download speed.
Regards
yes please. It would be much appreciated to have the connection speed of 2.1 here
Did e10a folks have HSDPA before 2.1?
I have never seen an H on my e10a with at&t in nyc(of course this could be crappy at&t).
Im still on 1.6 i was just wondering if I would suddenly start seeing H ability when if ever there is an e10a release of 2.1 (not willing to give up 3G for the e10i version)
If you don't want to lose 3g, wait until an e10a firmware is released. I'm currently stuck on edge until someone uploads a u20a fw.
I think (not sure, though) 1.6 only displays 3g even if you were on HSDPA.
I actually "lost"my 3G but got the H that i did never see before upgrading......so i really don't know what happened if it's just a matter of loosing 3G or just get report on hsdpa. H connection is quick but not always available so quite often i'm on E.
I can only get 'G', not 3G on my mini pro (u20i) since updating to 2.1
Anyone got any suggestion about this one?

I guess it is GPRS. Someone has posted the "letter list" in somewhere.
I am in the same boat. I only get GPRS with the u20i 2.1 UK Generic ROM.
I am using Vodafone...and in a heavy 3G area..never had a problem with it before the update.. and HSPDA is also on my towers..as i used to get it with my HERO and Desire.

Upgraded mini and 3G

I updated my 10a and got everything working. Edge and hsdpa work flawlessly but just noticed that if there is no hsdpa available, i only get edge, no 3G. I read that others had same issue but how can be possible to have H but not 3G? And in any case, is there a way to solve the problem and have 3G working?
Cheers
I already updated my x10a but it changes to x10i... and i dont have 3g or hdspa... what is the firmware that do you use?
I used e10a FW.....and i guess you used the same.
BTW: maybe you don't have hsdpa because you don't have coverage.....do you have EDGE?
yes, i have edge, but how i can confirm if i have hdspa??, anyway... in the phone information it's appear lika e10i.... i used the the firmware posted by bin4ary with the flashtool....
hsdpa depends of area; now where i am there is no hsdpa so i've got only E.
I flashed same way as yours with bin4ry tool and FW.
then if I have HSDPA, I have no 3g?
Because before my xperia flash, it could use 3G.
Hsdpa is just a faster version of 3g. I think all that's changed is that 1.6 just always reported "3g" whereas now 2.1 tells you when it's getting "H" bandwidth
So, from slowest to fastest it's:
G: GPRS : ~40k/s
E: EDGE : ~200k/s
3G: UTMS : ~384k/s
H: HSDPA : Faster! ( meg/s depending on your network)
Anyways, if in your country you need to use american's 3g bands, then you cant connect to 3g with a e10i firmware. You will need to wait for a 2.1 e10a firm to recover 3g bands.
Im in the same situation
uhm.....as far as i have hsdpa i think i'll stuck on 10i; i'm able to make perfect calls with sip client even with edge so i guess i'm not going into reflash and reinstall all my apps....

Which Sip/voip app do you use? I can't decide between Sipdroid and 3CX..

i tested both but didn't like sipdroid and 3cx crashes quite often. Now i'm using csipsimple and i think it's the best and most responsive.

[Q] hd2 H and not 3G

The H and 3G are different date speed's.
All dependents from your operator, and the arise where you are.
The only way I get H is root my HD2 to android. If I'm with winmo I'm alway on 3G. This t-mobile btw.
i always get H on my hd2.

It also depends on the ROM's taskbar's icon pack. If the taskbar doesn't have "H", the user will never see "H".
go to settings/menu/all settings/ advanced connection/ enable hsdpa/hspa, if disabled
In case it's not obvious already H = HSDPA and is a faster transfer rate than 3G.
I find that as I go into a lower signal area I drop down to 3G then 'E' for edge and then to 'G' for two cups and a piece of string. :lol:
u get the H only when u got an active inet connection wich u are using RIGHT NOW. as soon as ur connection goes idle it switches back to 3G. this saves battery and doesnt stress ur provider
so if u are using a browser like opera wich is fullscreen, u will rarely see the H cause its only there when u are using the connection
EDIT: atleast its like that for me
I get H when i boot Android and then reboot it to Wimo.. but when i reboot the wimo, then it gets back to 3g..

i always get H whether in android/winmo.....only when signal is low, it goes to 3G.....usually out of the city..............looks like here in india, telephony is not only cheap but you also get best service

[Q] network reception 2g-3g of pro.

Hello to all you guys! I recently purchase a mini for my girlfriend and a mini pro for me, but I realized that the network reception 2g-3g of pro is very poor compared to the normal mini.
Now I would ask, if there is the possibility to increase the reception?
thanks and sorry for my poor english!
Edit: Sorry wrong section, I had to post in general.
Strange... Try to tape *#*#4636#*#*, enter "Phone information" and change NetworkType. Maybe other value will fix this
I tried many values but nothing changes.
in many reviews I've read that the mini pro, has just the fault of poor reception.
some reviewers advised SE to update the radio firmware .... there would be a way to do it manually? act in some way on the system?

There is nothing like that
Just update your mini pro to 2.3.4 latest one and enjoy new features and also to get more performance.Then network problem will get solved after this update
If you only want to use 3G then use WCDMA (It will give you poor network at high speed internet) or for only 2G use GSM networks (When you choose GSM network you will get strong signals at low rate of speed of internet)
Or use WCDMA Preferred/GSM network to use both 3G/2G
This signal depends on carrier network you use,i never did get such error cause i use BSNL in my country
For this go to
Settings - Wireless & Networks - Mobile Network - Network Mode and choose the one you prefer...
I tried to compare my old x10 mini(2.3.7), new mini and two new mini pro(2.3.4) all whit same provider (Wind italy)...but nothing!
The x10 mini and new mini have good reception, but both mini pro....very very poor.
Sorry for my english
Inviato dal mio SK17i
the same problem here, my 3g operator woks with 2100 mhz, and sk17i supports 2100 mhz, but the 3g bar is only two bars and sometime get down, have other phone and the 3g is full bar.
the 2g signal is fine.

[Q] Tata Docomo 3G

As we all indians know, tata docomo has even stopped providing 3g network to those who have not subscribed to a 3g net plan... i was wondering if anyone has managed to break through?
2G speeds are very bad here.
Wrong section mate
Go to Carrier Discussion. No network crashing, MODs may issue a warning.
Sorry
Oh I am sorry brother . Apologies. I request the moderator to delete this thread.
Perhaps a gud news : )
I think docomo has started again giving 3g speed..I have used it 2 days ago in 3g nd many have confirmed that they have also got 3g speed..

Oh then it seems I am the one unlucky guy
is there any trick to enable 3g mode? I mean when switched to 3g, d does not show any coverage, but when I take a look at the signal values, there is a network. but somehow it does not show...
No man i didn't do anything else for getting 3g network...i just selected wcdma mode...
U can try enabling data roaming, may be that work....
