Hello,
Hoping to get some advice here. Currently on Sogarth Base Vanilla Rom running radio 1.58 on Rogers with the new 6GB data plan. Couldn't get the 3g and H to show up until I configured the Band settings to Auto (another tip i got from these forums). This changes the provider name to "ROGERS UMTS". At this point, I could get 3g + H downloads, although it still felt a bit slow. Unfortunately, my 7500 will no longer hold any cell calls. All outgoing fails, and incoming only lasts 1-2 minutes. These are tests throughout the city(GTA).
Wife's phone (Tytn II) is working great at 3G + H using stock rom.
The only way I can get good cell reception again is if I manually tune the Band settings to GSM & GSM (1900+850)+UMTS(1900+850). Of course, I can never get any type of speed over Edge. The provider name changes to just ROGERS, which is the same provider name that the Tytn II gets.
Anyone have any words of advice or tips that I can try? Rogers won't help because it's an unsupported phone. Data reception is not an issue because the Tytn II gets full 3G/H. I'm hoping to finally unleash the power of this phone.
I'm wondering if it makes sense to downgrade to 1.57. I never tried this version with the data plan, because I only just recently got it. Hoping some people may have some telling experiences.
Thanks in advance,
achok.
Just as an update, reflashed to 1.57 radio with no improvement.
any other athena + rogers users here?
did you try the 3G hack?
download the nice utility from this forum
it was called something super mobile hack
it lets you customize sooooo much stuff of the phone inside and out
after i enabled it, mine always gets the best stuff 3G and HDPDA speed
which was awesome
if i didn't enable it, it was always on EDGE, and very few times on 3G
HOWEVER!!!!!!
i think i know why HTC did not turn that on by default
because whenever i keep 3G & HDPDA on all the time
it drains battery real fast
is worse than using WI FI all day long
so what i do now, is to keep it on EDGE for the automated downloads from programs Weather, TomTom, Stock, push email, etc
but when i SURF THE WEB, i enable 3G, and ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM like the commercial
is a quick ON OFF thing in the COMM Manager.
and when i'm done looking up stuff on the WEB, i turn it back to EDGE mode
to save battery
Don't know why you need to turn it off, I keep H on all the time and at the end of a low-useage day I'm still in the mid-80's on my battery. Yes, if I start surfing heavily the battery goes down much faster, but not from background push/pulls.
i do surf browse de web quite a bit
lots of download, some uploads
streaming videos
and i use VNC and remote deskop quite a lot for work / home stuff, meanwhile on the road.
this phone is the best thing every.
now i can literally work from any where, and people will still think i'm in the office
as long as i have good signal that is
Best thing with the Advantage is...... OUR BATTERY LAST SOOOOO LONNNNNNNNNG compare to a LAPTOP of any size, doing the same thing
Thanks for the replies and suggestion. I'll try the 3G hack and report back.
Anyway you can report which Radio ROM you are using? I'm still believing that certain Radio ROM's are better suited for the Rogers/Fido 3G network....
...or is the Rogers/3G network just than inconsistent?
Regards,
achok.
as you can see in my siggie it's the X7510 which means it has the stock 1.58 Radio that everyone is upgrading to with the Modded ROMs
and the other thing is, im on FIDO, not Rogers.
but LOL as if that matters anymore, they are both the same company now.
just one has better billing, and Cutomer Service, than the Get Lost actitude from Rogers CS people, and always screwed up and over billed invoices every month....
Folks, just as an update:
I recently upgraded to Michy 4.0 1.2 spl (16mb version) (fantastic ROM by the way...) and stayed with Radio 1.57.
So far all looks to be good, but still need to test over the next few days.
Hopefully, this is a sign that things are finally starting to work the way it's supposed to.
Regards,
Achok
I just upgraded to AP 4.0 Platinum..Everything works fine ( I think ) except when I go to m.youtube.com to watch videos, and streaming media starts, It says "Failed to find network."
Please help!!!
Coz this is the very reason why I upgraded the rom..thinking it would solve the problem..
I'm with Rogers..
I already installed the latest FP7 plugin thingy..
HELP ME!!!!
i cant get my 3G or my HSDPA to work at all. Im using The HTC TOUCH PRO, which i imported on the ROGERS network. Ive been reading these forums and i have no clue as to what radios and rom versions are nor how to even tell what im using. WHOSE THE GENIOUS HERE...HELP ME.. This phones wack unless i get the best out of it...
Htc touch pro
if anyone can email me directly also that would be cool...

I recently received my t8697 mozart purchased online, and happily tore my rogers sim from my blackberry and put it in. Configured everything, it all looked ok, it detects the 3g network, but for some reason if the connection meter in the corner says "3G", it cannot connect to the network, any data related activities stop, error messages pop up etc.
However, it occasionally ramps up to an "H" and everything flies! it seems to be if i'm using something like the web browser (where i'm assuming it has a couple of retry attempts), it automatically pushes it up to HSDPA after a minute or so, and as long as i continue to use data it will stay that way. if i stop, it falls back down to 3g, and i can't do anything. if i'm in the market place or an app where it may not retry, once it detects no data it just errors out and it never gets to HSDPA.
i've tried doing a hardware reset, configuring via the HTC connection setup app, but same issue. Any ideas? is this a hardware issue because it's switching between 850 and 2100 (not supported)? is it something i can call rogers about, or something i can configure on the phone?
i see my 7 Mozart switch to 3G when i'm in an area that doesn't have HSPA access, but i never have trouble connecting to the at&t network. mine has worked flawlessly from day on on the 850 mhZ band. don't know that this helps you. might be time to try another SIM card as well... good luck!
i picked up a new SIM from rogers today and same issues, is there a way to force 850mhz only? maybe it's just a radio issue, i'm wondering if one of the other roms with a newer radio revision might help, or if it's actually a hardware thing. it's pretty frustrating, my EDGE speeds are actually faster, at least it loads consistently.
download the htc connection wizard from marketplace and run the rogers setup, it sounds like your APN is not set. I had the same problem when I first got mine.

that definitely helped, when i did a hard reset, before i could download anything i had to disable 3g, download it on EDGE, and then run it before i could do anything :S. it's a lot better, still a bit off and i get random no data coverage, but i think maybe i'm just in a low 850 signal area. the bars seem to drop significantly as soon as i pick it up.
The telstra model in general seems to be really flaky, flickering images, random reboots and crashes. do all of the roms support all frequencies? ie. installing an asia/europe rom where it's all 900/2100 then disable my 850mhz access because the radio's not configured to support it?
Hey,
I'm running CM7 on a lg p509, and everything is perfect, just a small question. My upload rate when connected by hsdpa seems to be limited to 0.13MB/s, while download is fine , always above 1MB. Is there something with the radio, different phone version (p509 instead of p500)? I'm sure its something to do with my phone since I just tried my friends on the same network and his upload was higher. I don't think I ever flashed a new band, so its still on original radio. Just new rom, and on mobilicity in canada.
thanks for any help

HSDPA is for high speed downloading while for high speed uploading,u need HSUPA which our phone doesnt have.This is the reason why uploading speed is less.
Our phone does'nt support
HSUPA-high speed uplink packet access
(responsible for high speed data upload)
Our phone only support
HSDPA - high speed downlink access

wow thats kinda weird. It doesnt really matter to me since I barely upload anything, but even my brothers crappy motorola spice has hsupa.
Just recently discovered this phone and love it!
However, i'm on T-Mobile. I'm not one of those people that have to have fast speeds on a phone and I'm usually around wi-fi.
Would this phone be worth getting and then using it on T-Mobile?
Hello! Maybe this one helps you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_IrKOXeZ7w
i have been using mine on t-mobile for a couple months now and it does suck not having 3g all the time. cant download certain things or some apps simply wont work running on edge when your out and about. works excellently on wifi. i would say if you get it for a good price do it. the screen size is awesome and its a fast phone. but i wouldnt drop $600 on it for it to run on edge. i won mine at a windows phone event night and unlocked it for $30

I totally agree with the statement from shamoozoo. I did the same thing about two months ago. I bought an AT&T phone and paid the price ($16.00 US) to get the unlock code to make it work on T-Mobile. Everthing works well except the data. Only getting Edge as the maximum data speed. Someone wrote in another thread about a pending T-Mob/AT&T data roaming agreement that will give us faster speeds and that it'll happen around the summer of this year so crossing my fingers on that one. Also, waiting for the unbranding ROM which will get rid of the AT&T "stuff" on my Titan and give me the internet sharing (tethering) for free.
t.mobile were not doing the deal I wanted so went with vodaphone. When using WiFi everything is instant. Don't know if it is the same with other networks. Even playing games online is instant. I love this phone.
HTC Titan x310a (AT&T) on T-Mobile...
Hey there. I too am a T-Mobile subscriber, using the AT&T branded version of the HTC Titan, and here's my 2¢; When I saw the announcement for this phone, I was blown away, and just HAD to have it. I had a buddy who's with AT&T, and was eligible for a phone upgrade, but didn't want to use it, because he liked his current phone, so he allowed me to use it, so I got my Titan for $200. The biggest drawback, which others have mentioned here, is that, due to the AT&T radio firmware, which is incompatible with T-Mobile's 3G & 4G network, I'm stuck at 2G (EDGE). Also, I cannot use T-Mobile's Visual Voicemail. Other than these 2 issues, the Titan is phenomenal! Now, here's the good news; XDA-Developer members Cotulla, and the Dark Forces Team are currently working on a HardSPL & custom ROM for these incredible phones! Once they are finished, and make these tools available to the community, we will be able to flash custom Windows Phone ROMs, and different radio firmware, which will allow our Titans to use T-Mobiles
3G & 4G network bands! So my opinion is thus; the HTC Titan is an EXCELLENT phone to use on any GSM network. Good luck!
Hello,
I am in the same situation, I got the ATT Titan activated on T mobile and I get only Edge signal. Let us know when the Rom is done, I will for. I got My Titan free so nothing to lose but will like to have working on 4G.
Thank you.
I don't think alternate ROMs will get you 3G on T-Mobile. Until proven, that's just wishful thinking.
Radio Firmware doesn't change the actual Bands the phone uses its simply a hardware limitation. When and if T-Mobile does data roaming with AT&Ts 3G then yea you will have 3G/HSPA+ until then your stuck with EDGE until they light it up in your area.
And even if software controlled the radio bands we would first need compatible tmobile firmware for the Titan that would work with WP7 very restrictive OS.
The only way an AT&T-branded Titan will ever get 3G on T-Mobile USA is if and when T-Mo refarms their spectrum to use 1900MHz band for UMTS.
Hi all. New to the WP8 game. Got a Lumia 920 at&t variant which I recently flashed to a French ROM (for GDR2), and so far everything is working great. I'm not using at&t, but rather the MVNO Straight Talk. I got Straight Talk setup and everything worked out of the box. I didn't have to mess with APN settings or anything. The phone displayed LTE and I was getting a solid 15-20mbps connection in a lot of places. The problem is I could never tell if I was using ATT or TMo (since Straight Talk does both).
Now that I'm using this French ROM, I no longer see LTE. Now it shows 4G, but I'm still getting the same speeds. Not a big deal. But really what I' looking for is an app (hopefully a free one) that displays detailed cellular information. For example I'd love to know if I'm connected to ATT or Tmo and I'd love to know if it's in fact LTE, or some HSPA variant. Heck if some app gives me information on which band/s my phone is currently operating on that would be great also.
Thanks!
Not 100% sure if this will be the answer but try ##3282#
Try "Cellular Live Tile" ... it provides a live tile that lists the network and the data speed ...
