I just bought my new HTC 3600, it is working great except that I used to have GSM network in my home office with my old nokia, now with the HTC 3600, I don't get anymore network, I have to go to the kitchen to make a phone call!!
Can I in any way improve the GSM network quality in the HTC 3600?
Thanks

Hello,
is it possible to use the HTC Kaiser with the mobile standart in Japan?
And what about the HTC Touch and the HTC Herald?
Thank you for your answere.

As I understand it Japan has no GSM networks, but they do have 3G networks, so no 2G devices, such as the original HTC Touch or Herald will work, but 3G devices such as the HTC Kaiser, Touch Dual and Touch Cruise should work without any problem, but still only on 1 or 2 of the carriers.

But the Compact IV from Vodafone (i think it is the Herald) has UMTS. So if i understand you right, i habe to use a UMTS phone in japan?
EDIT: Sorry, we have the compact III, not the compact IV.

It doesnt Work in Japan!
UMTS is a G3 Network ... but Japans G3 Network is a own System. It use different Protokolls and Frequency ... G3 only say -> you can make Video Call in a High Speed Network.

This Page from a japanese mobile provider says that the Tytn will work. So i think (hope) the TyTn II will also work.

I live in Japan, and I used a TyTN and now a TyTN II, so I can guarantee you that it will work. SoftBank and DoCoMo sell the TyTN...

Any one else here using the HTC Diamond on Rogers network here in Canada?
I just purchased my Diamond a few days ago to replace my HTC 3600P. My 3600P connected to Rogers 3G network perfectly fine and I was able to get broadband speeds.
Now, with the Diamond I can only get GPRS (G icon on the phone) and Edge (E icon on the phone).
I am not sure if this had anything to do with it, but unlike the 3600P, when first setting up the Diamond it ask if I wanted the phone to auto detect the network and auto configure the phone. I selected yes.
In the phone settings under network tab, the network selection is set to Automatic. Under the Band tab, both select your network type and select your GSM/UMTS band is set to auto.
is my phone setup correctly, or is it that the Diamond doesn't work with Rogers 3G network only GPRS/EDGE? If this is the case now, could a ROM update fix this?
I really need broadband speeds on my work and am seriously considering returning the phone, as I specially asked the store I purchased it from here in Toronto if it would work on Rogers 3G network like my HTC 3600P and they said yes.
Current Diamond models (EU and Asia) do NOT support North American 3G bands. There was some talk from Rogers that the 900MHz band would be support but for now GPRS is as fast as you will get with your Diamond.
Just to add confirmation to what NikoL has said.
No 3G with the Diamond on Rogers.
Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated!
My question now is will my ASIAN/UK diamond ever work on Roger's 3G network? If yes, any idea how long this will take?
I really need broadband speed on my mobile phone for work. I still have my HTC 3600P which works fine on the Rogers 3G.
I am trying to justify keeping the phone or returning it.
Worth holding on to?

To be honest buddy, it all depends on Rogers if they support that band that your missing. If they arent going to enable it on their network then you will never get 3G on the Diamond that you have now. So its a 50-50 chance they may or may not...probably better off asking them if you ring them. Im sure they will tell you if they have any intentions of enabling that band on their network.
Now if it was me, id return it and wait for the North American version which should be released next month hopefully. But this is me personally...im in the UK and i couldnt live without 3G myself...blazing fast on my nokia n95 8gb which i sold and at the moment im having to make do with GPRS because my nokia 8600 luna only does GPRS.

What are you doing that requires 3g?
Edge and GPRS don't imped stuff like email sync, syncml, or minor web browsing.
If you need to use remote access like RPD or UVNC then sell the phone. Roger's isn't about to turn on 900mhz as that requires changing the match on existing infrastructure. It makes far more sense for them to push toward LTE tech rather then waste it on whats going out.

I work in the streaming media industry, hence I definately require broadband on my mobile phone/device.
For now, I guess I will keep using my HTC P3600 which works perfectly fine on Rogers 3G and hope that the north amercian version of the Diamond will support Rogers 3G or on the tail end, that a ROM update for the Asian verision will 'turn on' the required freq to support Roger's 3G.

I would imagine the N American version of the Diamond would support 3G in Canada...as for a rom update to enable the asian version that you have now to use 3G??..i doubt it very much as its a hardware issue. The diamond you have is missing that 3G attenna.

You are correct about the ROM update. I called HTC Canada and confirmed this with their support department. I guess, I'll be putting my Diamond up for sale on ebay (as my local dealer refuses to take back the phone - last time I'll ever purchase from them, as I specifically asked about it working on Rogerrs prior to purchase) and wait for the North Amercian verision.. or see how the new 3G iphone stands up when it is released here on July 11th.
Hi
I am using HTC touch diamond on three network. I don't get signals more than 1 one bar everywhere but if i try another operator's sim signals are fine I have got Sony Ericsson k800i with three sim it give full signal no problem my current radio on my device is v1.09.25.23
I live in Lancashire UK
thanks in advance
You may want to try installing one of the later Radio ROMs available for download and see if if makes a difference.
im with ya on that pretty much the same and calls drop a lot in the house
im using radio in my sig if thats helps, my gps works super fast tho so dont understand
i think its a network rather than a phone and yes i tried different radio from different devices aswell with same results. But this is weird if I use the same sim on any other phone than diamond i get full signals even on omnia.

Hi. I use a Diamond on the Three network, but I'm in Sussex. I'm using the latest HTC ROM build 2.03 and latest radio 1.11... At home I only get one bar - bit of a dead spot, but at work I get the full signal strength... So, likely to be poor coverage in your area (likely if works okay with a different providers SIM).
I'm actually contemplating a move to T-Mobile 3G at the moment because although I like Three, the 3G network is a bit patchy round here in places....
My phone will not use 4G (HSPA+ or 3G) at my work indoors and favours 2G. My HTC Sensation could be made to use 3G by cycling the radio off/on - but this HTC One is not able to get any 3G plus. I assume this is not a ROM issue as it behaved exactly the same on the original US T-mobile ROM build. Just outside the building (and always at home) I get 4G (not LTE but T-mobile HSPA) speeds (slow here at around 4-6Mbps).
I know that settings can be changed to make the radio favour 3g/4G etc (even if a poor signal) but can anyone help here. I can sit the HTC One right next to the Sensation and the Sensation will show 3G with 1-2 bars and the One will show 4-5 bars with 2G! (and very poor data rates on the HTC One as you'd expect).
I am on a US T-Mobile model on 10.1 ROM with new radio (4A.16.3250.24_10.38.1150.03.zip) - VERY impressed.

Hey Mate,
I was also facing same kind of wiered issue, I am on Developer edition and In India and initially Was not not able to connect to any 2G network. I tried everything from Custom ROM to STOCK ROM, Radio, SIM card change, orperator change etc.... but mothing worked. I was only able to connect to 3G networks.
Today finally I S-OFF'ed my ONE and after that it's connecting to 2G and 3G both networks. I think there is something related with security.
Try to S-OFF !!

Thanks - but I can get 3G and 2G signals now. It is just that the phone seems to significantly favour the stronger 2G (more stable) connection even though a low signal strength 3G connection can be achieved (as shown on my Sensation). I do not want to try S-off just yet as that should really only allow the changing of H-boot and radio firmware etc. I have never read anything that indicates that S-Off can improve a given (un-changed) radio. It is this method I want to try first - I am already on the .24 radio but that made no changes.
I do know that it is possible to access a hidden (HTC Engineer?) radio menu by typing a series of numbers and hash (#) symbols into the phone dialler - that reveals a menu in which (I believe) you can change the priority of network selection.
It could, of course, just be that the HTC sensation radio hardware is better than the HTC One - I hope not.

Is there a rom that includes a CDMA subscription which you get to select NV or RUIM? I have an unlocked/S-off HTC one sprint version. I have unlocked the phone for both GSM/CDMA, it's capable of supporting SIM/UIM card with HTC's Sense on top.(Unfortunately UIM/CDMA SIM card only works with Sense 5 on top of 4.1.2) I use Sprint/T-Mobile in the states, I can plug in TMo SIM and it works just fine with somewhat slower data speed. But I travel a lot to countries where they use CDMA with UIM card(it's like SIM for CDMA carriers), I can't get the phone to get any signal with any Kitkat rom expect for Sense 5 which has a hidden menu for u to choose CDMA subscription. Is this a phone issue with 4.4 kitkat? I'd love to see the CDMA subscription in the preferred network settings just like CM11 in HTC droid incredible 4G LTE(fireball) and unified version of S3. Since the sprint HTC one is indeed a global phone, I'd really sweet to see all possible network types along with a CDMA subscription option under Mobile Network Settings. Thanks in advance!
