a couple of questions.

1. i am using att and i notice when it connects to media net it says (EDGE) and not 3G.. is it still using 3G? Im confused.
2. I noticed i can upgrade my homescreen to the HTC one but everyone posts .cab files.. how do i install them into my phone? thanks.
btw im using the AT&T tilt.

1. You should be, but you'll need to make sure you have 3G coverage in your area. You can always check out dslreports.com and do a speed test. If you get anything over 100kbps then you're on 3g.
But it should show an icon.
2. You'll need to put the cab file on your phone. Either on your sd card, or on the phone's memory. You can do this via a usb adapter, over bluetooth (you have to enable obex bluetooth support in the registry), via a program called wm5torage, or download it with pie.
Once you have the .cab on your phone, use file explorer to find and run it.

ah gotcha.. thanks!

Over a 100 could be edge too...
I get around 120kbps on edge, 300kbps on 3g and approx 1000kbps on HSDPA.
If you are getting an E symbol then you aren't getting 3G, you are getting 2G.

3G not working on Tilt

I just got my Tilt last night, then called ATT and had the IMEI put in and made sure to ask that 3G is enabled.
However, I'm in my classroom in NYC right now, and all I get is an "E" above my bars, which I assume means edge. I have 3G turned on in comm manager, why am I not getting it?
I'm running dutty's touchflo rom for tilt beta, also i just ran a speedtest and it was 119kbps down so definitely not 3G, how can i fix this?

It depends if there is 3G available in "that side of town"

Yes I've checked the coverage viewer, I mean I'm right in NYC and 3G was always active on my Helio Ocean when I had it.

When I am not actively using the deivce for transferring data, it seems to "fall back" to Edge. -Then when I transfer data I'll see the 3G or H icon to indicate a better / faster connection.
I am wondering if this isn't the desired funtionality to save power? -I have read in many many places that Edge is much more battery friendly than 3G and / or HSDPA

Where are u in NYC? Cross street? Area?
Im in mid-town with full 3G.
Also, if I'm not mistaken Helio runs on one of the CDMA networks(Sprint/Verizon), so having 3G on your Ocean wont necessarily mean that you'll have it on your Tilt.

for those on tmobile USA plz help!

hey guys, i was using an unlocked tilt on tmobile with no probs until the 5.99 tzones plan stopped working. i then proceeded to take that plan off and added the 19.99 total internet plan. ever since then i cant connect to the internet! at first i thought there was something wrong with my account, however one of my friends has an mda with the same plan as me. so i took out my sim card and put it in his mda and put his sim card in my tilt. now the internet on his phone (with my sim card) works and the internet on my tilt (with his sim card) doesnt work! we have the same exact settings, so i dont know whats going on??!! i was thinking it was somehow incompatible with my radio; and so far i've tried 1.27.12.11 and 1.27.12.17, and both dont work.. i'm currently using dutty's #7 nontouchflo rom... thanks for any help!

Omar, are you in South Florida? If so read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366634&page=2
Even if not, T-mo is testing 3G in other areas so it may still apply.

internet connection
the t-zone internet uses wap. if you look at your current internet connection modem it probably says wap.voicestream.com. the total internet package uses internet2.voicestream.com

wap.voicestream.com and internet2.voicestream.com - I am convinced they are virtually the same thing.
My total internet works either way on each phone I have.

I also have a Tilt on tmobile network, and i have had no probs.. the only snag i have ran into is i have to change my setting when i want to send MMS and getting onto the Internet... but no biggy, as long as i dont have to pay the $19.99 price...

Using data with only 3G coverage or firewall??

Hi guys, I have a question here.
Is there a way to set my Kaiser to use data connection ONLY if I have 3g/HSPDA coverage?
I don't think it is possible, but you never know.
My problem is that I have a plain data plan but only for 3g coverage, if I use the data connection in areas where only edge or gprs is available, my telcom carrier charge me a lot for this.
So, to solve this, the above setting came into my mind or a sort of "firewall-software" that blocks all app's trying to access data connection if I don't have 3g coverage.
Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated!
Thanks, Diego

no ideas?
c'mon, I don't wanna code my own app for this

why not ? you definitely should.

Never seen a way to do that - but then, I've never seen a data plan that works only on 3G but not on EDGE, so there's not much chance someone would have needed and thus made such a program...

thanks for the reply, it's not that doesn't work on EDGE, but in some way it is not free for me.
I thought that it would be a little difficult to find something like this... so I think I should be opening my Visual Studio again
cheers,
Diego

Which is the best US provider to use with the imported Diamond2?

Hey guys,
I was wondering, which one of the different US providers would you recommend to use with an imported unlocked diamond2?
I'm currently with AT&T, and I'm having a lot of issues to connect to MediaNet... For some unknown reason, the phone looses its connection:
- every single time after either a reboot or using wifi
- on time to time, randomly without any specific reason
My main concern being: it's a pain to get it back! It takes several reboot and retry to re-setup the data connection.
I was wondering if some of you have actually experience better result with other provider or even with AT&T... (note: i m on a pay-as-you-go plan for phone and data)
Thanks,
Kandjar

I, too, am using Diamond2 with ATT and I'm ok with it. Granted, I've given up trying to use MediaNet on this phone but not really missing it.

I'm on T-mobile with the $5.99 unlimited data (T-Mobile Web). It's now $9.99 Web2Go if you are starting a new contract with limited data. Everything is working fine and the other day I got my email working on the diamond2 through the $5.99 plan.
No connection problems at all.

Same here with T-Mobile and the T-Zones plan, my call quality is pretty good with no drops & edge has descent speeds.

Wow, ok, once my pay-as-you-go expired, I'll definitively check T-Mobile!
AT&T data plan is slow and not very stable for me...
The main reason I need it is: mails!
I got so addicted to the 'read mail everywhere' plan, it's scary... When it doesn't work, it's bugging the heck out of me
I found in the 'phone setting' that it's possible to change the baseband; so instead of having them set to 'auto', I'm trying to force them to be:
'gsm' and '1900+850' to see if there is any improvements.
In any case T-Mobile does sound a lot cheaper...
I m currently paying $100 for 400 minutes (good for a year) and $20/month for 100MB... That's about $30/months.
Thanks for the replies

Edge on T-mo has really good speeds here in CO. That's why I don't mind not having 3G. Soon enough manufacturers will be making quadband 3g handsets. I hope.
Any who kandjar if you need help with the data settings if and when you switch to T-mo just post up. If you search google for T-mobile wireless configurator you can get the settings by selecting any WinMo phone in the list ut you have to change some things.
Edit*
Disregard that last part about the configurator. The D2 finds the settings automagically for you. But you still have to change 1 or 2 things so it'll work.

That's cool, thanks!
By the way: does the youtube app work with T-Mobile?
It doesn't seem to work at all with AT&T...
Or does it only work with 3g?

Youtube worked on my Diamond2 with ATT. I don't have a data package with ATT, but I have wifi in my complex and I can watch Youtube on the Wifi.
As well as sending/receiving emails.

True, I should have been a bit more explicit..
I also managed to get it to work through wifi...
I m just wondering if this work with data plan (through medianet ...)

Yes it works fine on T-mobile edge. Maybe AT&T edge is a bit slow? IDK? This is on T-zones might I add. Not T-mobiles full web service. Who needs that with opera available?
