HTC HD2, Android 4.2.2. -
find only one (my) network, but why can't find other networks in my country. It is very important for me because my network (TELE2) has a better signal through another network repeater (T-com). Therefore, here in Croatia most of TELE2 users use T-com network (better signal).

With all these radios with increasing version numbers ( presumably updates) and comments about not working on some networks which can be a problem for international travellers.
I have a few questions.
- Do these radios all work well on the 2G (GSM, GPRS Edge networks)
- Is the problem of compatibility only on the 3G networks ?
- Do other manufacturer 3G world phones work well in all countries or is this specific to the Hermes platform radios?

Typically when I travel I'll try to find a radio which works well in the country I'm visiting, but this can be time consuming. I've so far found that by forcing my phone to GSM only I will often get better phone reception, but obviously at the expense of data - so you may be right that the main problem is with the 3G side of things.
I've found that the best rom so far is 1.38.00.10. I've used it in North/South America, Europe, Asia and Asia Pacific and don't recall any specific problems. 1.50.00.00 also seems promising but I always travel with a copy of 1.38 just in case.
My phone is the Vodafone VPA Compact III using with a UK O2 contract SIM. I also travel with an unmodified Nokia N80 on my Vodafone SIM. Often the Nokia will have a signal when my Hermes won't. This is usually because the Nokia has logged onto a different network and when I force the Hermes to that network (from auto) everything is fine again.
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.
Hello i have got Htc Jetstream. Sim unlocked.
Why i can't to connect to 3g internet? Tablet sees the network but can't to connect to 3g
I see at the bottom of the inscription around the network 4glte.
Somebody can help me?
My network is Orange Israel...
you need to find the apn preference. you can searching israeli web-sites like iandroid.co.il for the orange apn.
Hi to all XDA members.
I've scoured across the internet everything I could find about modems and firmwares and which version works for Optus and so on but to no avail so I'm finally asking for some help.
I have problems maintaining 3G network and I've tried limiting the network to 3G network only using "extended controls", sometimes it works, but when there's no 3G available in the area, I wouldn't even be able to connect to the normal mobile network.
Sometimes I would get H+ / 3G signal outside of a building but when I enter it, it will reduce to EDGE and I cannot get my 3G at all, other Optus users maintain their 3G network.
If anyone knows of a solution, please tell me.
Thanks in Advance!
As a noob, I may not state this question correctly, so please excuse any errors. My Sony Xperia Z5 Compact E5823 (international version) was recently registered on the MetroPCS (T-Mobile) network. The current software build number is 32.2.A.0.224 and the preferred network type selected is 4G(preferred)/WCDMA/GSM.
The phone is located in a major metropolitan city and T-Mobile has accomplished an area-wide LTE Band 12 build-out. The signal strength icon in the status bar either shows a "4G" connection or no connection type of any kind rather than the "LTE" connection icon. the signal strength icon generally shows only 2 or three bars even though, at this moment, the phone is 1/8 mile from the T-Mobile tower at a time of day with little traffic. The connectivity speed generally seems to be quite erratic.
My question is: Do I have LTE connectivity and, if not, how do I get it? An agent at a local MetroPCS agency location said that the ROM or firmware had to be "flashed". Is this correct and, if so, how does a "noob" go about it?
Thanks to all for any responses!
If you installed the settings metro sent to your phone, it might not be an issue with the phone since 4g is LTE internationally. In the US and NA they made 3g+ into 4g and LTE into its own thing as a marketing gimmick. H+ shows up as 4g in the US phones and firmware and LTE shows up as LTE. In Europe LTE shows up as 4g in a lot of handsets.
Youprobably need to try another network on your phone to see if it behaves the same way and I'm betting that it won't. Likely it is the network causing issues and not the phone in this case.
