i used the numbers from thr LTE one and replaced the others. i dunno ehat I did, just experimenting though.
i felt a slight improvement i dont know if it is just placebo, is this bad or something?
and sometimes i am getting H+, most of he time H, does that depend on thr carrier? signal? or... i don't know. can someone please help me understand this. i would appreciate it! thanks!
and also i setted my preffered network type to "lte/cdma (prl)"
in the photo attachment you can see that there are 2 results ends in 1.1mbps to 1.3mbps in that case i used the st set of codes, for the speeds 2.05mbps to 2.1mbps i used the 2nd set of codes preffered network type is wcdma only
however when i used the 2nd set of codes and used the prefered network type "lte/cdma (prl) i got the 2.9mbps.
i also attached my phone info if in case that can help thank you!

Newbuy question: No [3G] sign... Only [G] or [E]

Hi,
Apologies for this question, but i cant get 3G sign in my mobile, while other Nokia n73 can get it. I updated my radio to v1.43, and still no [3G] sign...
In some areas i get [G] which means GPRS signal, and in other areas i got [E] which i don't know what does it mean... Any ideas??
Thx in advance
E = Edge...
Thanks Madcap... But as far as i know that Edge (EGPRS) is an extended version of GPRS whilst 3G is based on WCDMA.
My question now is why my Nokia n73 Reading always 3G, and my HTC is not reading it??? Is there is something wrong in HTC? or i must do some settings for that one?
Thx

Hello,
You say that your Nokia can receive a 3G signal and the Hermes cannot - are they both using SIM cards from the same provider and if not then do both providers supply a 3G signal where you are trying to use the Hermes?
If you should be able to receive a 3G signal on your current provider then I'd suggest you try the following:
1. Check the settings of the Hermes Phone. Try looking at the band selection setings by going to Settings - [Personal] Phone - Band Tab then checking that the Network type is set to Auto. The screenshot below shows the screen that I mean. If this is set to GSM then change it to Auto and see if that fixes the problem. If not then try...
2. Force use of 3G. Even with Auto selected your Hermes handset may be using 2G because that signal is much stronger than the 3G signal. You can force the handset to try 3G only by using a 3rd party application such as Bandswitch (an excellent product by Daniel Herrero - see his posts here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286844&highlight=bandswitch). You can download Bandswitch here: http://commmgrpro.com/_wsn/page2.html. Try using this application to set the handset to 3G and see if that works.
If you should have a 3G signal but none of this helps then it seems you have a problem that may need warranty attention. Is the handset new?
Hope this helps
Hello Tony,
Thank you for your reply. I tried what you advised. Still Cant Capture the 3G signal...
Also, i tried an application called "fieldtest_157.exe". It is described somewhere in this group. I can't find any signal (zero values) for anything related to WCDMA, UMTS, and 3G
This is weird.. I just went into settings>phone .. and there is no BAND tab.. wtf?

Hi Mike,
Have added this reg tweak. It added WCDMA & a couple of protocols in the band section of phone settings. Non of them is working... Is it possible that my radio has a problem? I'm using GPRS very well, and i have excellent GSM connections... What could be the problem?

EVDO Won't Connect

Hello,
I am new to posting here, however I have been reading throughout the forums since I got my HTC PPC6800 in September through US Cellular. I have been through a few different custom roms and have never had any trouble. Then, yesterday after flashing to a winmo 6.5 rom, I lost the ability to connect to EVDO and I am stuck on 1x all the time. I switched back to Titan Reloaded v1.3.4 and still have the same issues. I also had changed my banner yesterday from CellSouth to US Cellular through QPST and I have since reloaded the file from when I read it with QPST before making changes.
Does anyone know of any issues that could cause this?
Thanks
Dave
Hey this might get you on the right track.
Did you use Debug(fieldtrial) (dialer code ##33284 call button) mode and look in the HDR tab and make sure it says you are authenticated? If not then you have to Re-Authenticate. That is done is PST (##778 call button). Follow my Cricket PST settings thread, (only the Part about re-authenticating) and use your US cellular values. Let me know if I have helped.
Just whatever you do, do not Use CRICKET settings for the Carrier you are using which is US CELLULAR
Have you checked your EPST settings to make sure they are correct? You might try running the uscc carrier cab. EVDO will not connect unless the EPST Security/MIP Profile settings are correct.
These were the settings I had to change for my phone to connect to EVDO: http://sites.google.com/site/victorbush/htc-6800-1/epst-data-settings
Its under EPST, goto Security, under HDR Username and password it needs to be as follow.
Find your ESN (In hex first)
HDR Username should be ESN(IN HEX)@uscc.net
HDR Password should be your ESN(IN HEX)
i.e.
ESN = 3C123456
HDR Username [email protected]
HDR Password 3C123456
(The ESN must be in CAPS)
PPP Username and password are based on phone #
i.e.
phone# = 1234567890
PPP Username = [email protected]
PPP Password = 1234567890
This bit me and several other people when USCC first launched EVDO
Also, mine has been changed from just flashing the rom, so you may need to fix this more than once.
Just an FYI.
BTC
THANKS
This method worked great (changing settings in EPST.) I thank you all for all the help!!!!
Thanks SOOOOOO MUCH!!! Without EVDO my phone is useless!\
Dave
wow thanks for all the responses. in actually using your rom ryan. i love it but i often wondered what that debug program was for....lol im gonna try that asap. i thought just flashing it with your rom would "magically" work. everything else has. what is the us cellular stuff ur talkinh about? do the rest of those comments that all the other great people who responded carry any weight with ur rom? is it even a rom specific issue? my phone does recognize the evdo signal but will not function untill it drops back to 1x just to clarify my issue. sorry it took so long to respond. i have been attempting to cook my own rom and im working on a 2d fix that is not a plugin. thanks everyone for the response. i appreciate all the help!

I am only responding to what is in BOLD above. That issue sounds like you need to Un-Authenticate and Re-Authenticate. If you are using Cricket it explains how to do that in my Cricket PST settings thread.
I currently do not have a US cellular version of my ROM. This thread was created by the Member "kwineon" only to find out why his EVDO was not working on his ROM for US cellular. We helped him fix his problem and then you come along asking questions that do not even apply to MY ROMs OR This Thread (with the exception of your EVDO issue)
If you are going to experiment do it at your own risk... I have cooked 4 carrier specific rom's (Cricket, Sprint, Verizon, Metro PCS) thats it buddy..

Problem with Orange Mobile Network (GPRS/3G etc...) with Villain5.5 Rom

Hi,
I rooted my HTC GSM Hero this morning from scratch and installed the Villain 5.5 Rom for the GSM Hero from the XDA thread titled "[ROM]04/05/10 - VillainROM 5.5: Release Version - for GSM HERO".
Everything that I can find works perfectly with one exception: I cannot access mobile data any more! I am aware that it could be the RUU (?) version has changed and is no longer compatible with Orange - can anyone tell me if this is true?
I am also aware that there is a fix for sending and receiving MMS messages, which is quite similar, but I thought that MMS was reliant on the general network connection working?
When I go to the APN list I only have an empty list.
I can make phone calls and send/receive SMS.
Further Info from Settings - About Phone
Network:
Operator Name = Orange
Mobile Network Type = UMTS - This looks like the problem?
Software:
Firmware Version = VillainROM5.5.0
Baseband Version = 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18
Kernel Version = 2.6.29-8d063048
Build Number = VillianROM 5.5.0
Software Version = 1.13.531.1
Do I install a radio ROM from the sticky, or will that overwrite the Villain5.5 ROM?
I apologise if this topic has been covered - I tried the search but am unsure of the correct terminology to look for!
follow this for the fix from the 5.5 post to get the apn list sorted..
Hotfix #1 - APN List fix. Flash over 5.5 (Should be available by OTA)
When you have flashed the apn fix you need to press "reset to default" in apns menu
http://villainrom.desean.net/ota/Villai ... signed.zip
ps: flash from the recovery menu, hold home key and turn phone on, choose zip and select the below file that you should of saved to the root of your memory card..
Thanks anarchyuk!
I feilt a bit stupid, but then realised that I wouldn't have known what to look for and it was 435 pages into the thread!
My problem is now resolved and I can access 3G networks, which is better than nothing, however the GPRS/H ones seem to not be working...
I will investigate that when I'm not in a 3G location though
Thank you very much
3g and the H are both the same signal, HSDPA that gives you the faster speeds is something added onto a node b/3g mast.
If the cell site you are logged on to has not been upgraded then it will only show 3g when downloading!
try another area and see how it does, I cant see the apn or internet settings doing much to stop it tbh
im having trouble with o2 payandgo mms in villain 5.5 if anyone can help?
I'm having a similar problem on T-mobile, I have flashed the apn fix and restored all the apns. I have G/H connection but no 3G.
Would really appreciate any help, thanks!

visit the villainrom forums for more info on this KNOWN issue..
Ok, I don't have any knowledge of how mobile data works so thanks for that. But why am I now getting an H or G signal in areas where I would previously get 3G?
Does this make a difference to my download speeds?
Again, thank you very much for any enlightenment you can provide.

Some roms like the slide mytouch ports dont have a the H symbol but when you go into the settings, about phone and network. It shows you the type your are connected to. Other/Most roms show H to show high speed data.
Here are some possibilities.
1) If you have just come from a stock rom your provider may of had the symbol removed. You would of still been on the higher speed.
2) Your provider coincidently has added HSXPA to the area.
I would probably say at a guess that you have been on the faster speed all of the time and it has just been the symbol not showing!
HSDPA: currently dependent on network can deliver speeds of upto 7.2mbit
3g: on its own can deliver 384kb/s download
I would strongly suggest getting a widget from the market to turn 3g off when not on the internet as it will hammer your battery life.

Thanks for clearing that up, very helpful
But just to summarise- There is likely no difference between what I was getting before I switched to villain and what I get now, just that the symbol is different?

[Q] APN for 2g only?

Is there a way to create an APN that will force me to run on 2g only? I cant seem to find a toggle for 2g/3g. I downloaded an app by curvefish but it just takes me to the APN list when I click the widget, so that makes me wonder if I can create a 2g APN.
I am trying to convince my cousin to leave apple, but his one holdout is that he has to be able to toggle to 2g. I would like to see how my phone runs in 2g at work, since I work in a large steel building. I've tried *#*#4636#*#* but it just reverts. If an APN cant be set up for GSM I either need a step by step on how to get my APN to not be set to auto, or maybe a script or an apk. ANY info would be greatly appreciated.
38 views and no response, does anyone have any good info on a 2g toggle that works on an atrix?
do you mean 'edge'?

Yes, I mean 2g/edge.
I have been told that it is not possible on the atrix. Changes to data on this phone don't stick.
With 4636 code, if it revert, your rom has some prob. 4636 works properly with me.

Stupid question regarding mobile network type for those on 3UK...

In settings, about phone, status what does it say for you guys on three uk under mobile network type.
Mine would say HSPDA regardless of being on 3g or H, now though it constantly displays UMTS
Is that normal? Is it because I've flashed a custom rom?
And also I've noticed my data connection changes often from 3g to H.
Lastly in network mode do you guys have it on auto or WCDMA only.
Thanks
Well it will switch to 3g(umts) when there isn't anybdata being sent/received. When you need data it switches to h(hspa) so you get the fastest speeds.
This is to save battery life, so when you check in settings your probably not pulling data.
Try downloading something then looking.
Sent from Samsung Galaxy S2 on TELUS.
Thanks for the helpful reply.
Another thing though, would it benefit me switching to wcdma only instead of auto,?
