I have just got the HTC Mteor but I can't get it to work with GPRS on orange PAYG or Contract. I saw some files on this forum but it won't let me run them on the phone. Can anyone help me set it up please?
sorry to havent answerd your question in other thread...
when this from my post don't works:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1244877&postcount=8
just google for the correct settings from your provider!!
or just call them that they say you the settings!!
also my provider has a map on his webpage where i can check what coverage is available in my location!!
also when you see the 3g symbol in top bar you are in a 3g location!
maybe you must have a special contract with your provider to start connections in 3g area?!
just try to set bandwidch to GSM (means only GPRS/EDGE) and test the connection!!
if this works your provider maybe have lock if you haven't a special "3g Contract"
I tried to contact Orange but they didn't have this phone on their list and then they gave me some settings that didn't work?
I don't think this phone works on 3G actually. I know it has GPRS covergae because there is always a letter "G" on the top of the screen. If anyone else has this phone on Orange then can you let me know what setting you are using please.
when your provider supports 3g then your phone have no problems!!!
UMTS is supported by mteor from factory out!!
HSDPA Supports is added with actuell Shipped ROM !!!
when you only have the G icon it means you have only configured (in bandwitch selection gsm) or your network coverage has only GPRS available!!
just check the settings under settings/phone/bandwitch(?!)
there are 2 lines first band: 1. AUto 2. GSM 3. WCDMA (=3g, hsdpa)
2nd is the region... should normaly be on auto...
I just checked the setting that you mentioned and it was set to auto on both options. I tried setting to the 3G and it said that it was not possible to connect when I typed in an internet address on internet explorer.
maybe you have not 3g coverage at your location!! or your contract didn allow 3g connection!! ask your provider!!
when configuring the data connection look to the modem options there you can select different modems .. just try gprs only

Hi all,
Could someone please advise me?
I bought my TyTN II in early December 2007 and everything was fine until about a week ago. Since then I can't get a 3G connection -- either phone or data. I tried my Sim card in my old SPV M700 and was able to get 3G but no HSDPA.
Is this a problem with my Kaiser and would HTC do be able to do something about it?
Has this happened to anyone else?
perhaps you disabled 3g,
in the phone settings you can choose if you want only gsm or also with 3g...
Does your network support HSDPA?
I have the same problem.
When I'm staying in non-3G zone, than I can use only phone and EDGE and my operator is EMT.
When I'm staying in 3G zone, than my operator changing to "3G EMT" and I can't use neither phone nor 3G.
Sorry I didn't explain things clearly.
I am with Orange UK and everything was fine until 1 week ago -- 3G, HSDPA etc all worked fine. I have not made any changes to the settings, although I have had to now because if I opt for 'Auto' in the band tab in phone options, I get GSM but then am unable to get any data connection at all -- I get an error message saying "cannot connect due to unknown reason". If I select GSM as band then I am able to get GPRS but no 3G/HSDPA.
I have tried the phone in various places -- even in a different city yesterday, but no joy.
I suppose I will have to ring HTC tomorrow and see what they say
I dont know if you read your PM. Look at your Control panel and read the messege I sent you.
Send it to me too pls. )
Hello, my title resume my question :how to force GPRS instead of EDge or 3G ?
I've an old offer orange called Orange Sans limite wich have to be used on the GPRS settings..
Or, on the diamond as if i disable the 3G , the edge still be here..
I must have to stay on Gprs simple.
Anyone could have some solution?
I've already try to tweak something with schaps configuration but nothing good
Thanks a lot for your help!
I believe you can set this by clicking => start => settings => personal => telephone => band
I don't know if these are the correct names because i have a dutch phone..
Yes that's the trick i used to do to : band : GSm
But like this there is still edge and not GPRS icon and connection
GPRS Force

On Band tab
Select your network type: GSM
Select your GSM/UMTS band: UTMS(900+2100)+GSM(900+1800)
Press OK .. [it may end existing data connection Press Ok to that as well]
This is what i do since i've ppc ...
Exept that i've GSM 900 +1800 and Umts 2100
But stil edge connections and not GPRS
Force use of plain GPRS instead of EDGE
See also here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-337798.html for this question without an answer.
A good reason for doing this is that on many EDGE networks is if data is actively being transferred many networks will drop incoming calls (caller gets busy/voicemail) which I think is due to a lack of available free timeslots to notify the phone of a incoming call (all slots filled with your data and your phone stops monitoring a control channel I think. Some, but not many edge networks, can tell the phone about the incoming call via the data slots. With plain old GRPS this problem does not occur.
If when you are not using it your phone could use plain old GPRS to sync email, download RSS feeds etc, then there's zero chance of missing an incoming call.
Unfortunately I haven't found any way to do this.
Hi guys,
I brought my first xperia from my phone serivce provider, and it always had the "3g" symbol at the top. However, when my xperia broke, I had to buy another one and got one of ebay. Since I brought the new one, my phone always has the 3 on top. I'm currently using the firestorm valkyrie rom which as the htc interface. When I go to the data connections it says an option (3g) "change to gsm mode" and on is selected. Even when I toggle that, it still always has the E symbol. What do I need to do? I know my sim card is cabable of getting the 3g. But this is a real pain because every now and then my phone just doesnt receive service, so I constantly go onto the comm manager and then it seems to just click that there's service and shows 2-3 bars. Then all of a sudden again after a while there'll be no service. So I'm guessing that's because of the E thing. It shouldn't be my current location as I've never experienced this before.
Is there a setting I can go to to get the 3g symbol? Or a patch I might need for the phone?
Please help
Kindest regards.
You need to change while the connection is not active, I believe. Or... you got the Xperia version incompatible with your network... Or... the ROM is buggy, try another.
sorry, I need to change specificially what when the connection is not active? Say you mean, turn off my phone settings and not connect to the network and then adjust something? It is not the rom. and the seller on ebay has stated that it is a 3g phone - many others have brought it as well with no complaints.
3G settings on x1
Hi
For some reason your phone is only camping on the GSM network (G or E indication depending if your carrier provide GPRS or EDGE on the GSM) instead of the 3G network (which you have been using before).
In settings, communications you should be able to set "3G change to automode" to on,
When this is set your network provider will tell your phone to use the 3G as preffered network, but when coverage is not good enough it will drop you back to 2G (which has a better reach due to lower frequency band).
If it does not happen automatically there might be another setting that is wrong,
goto settings, all settings, personal (tab), Phone.. then choose the "band" tab (need to go to the left with the arrows) , then you have the dropdwn lists to set:
select you network type (need to set auto or wcdma to get 3G)
select your GSM/UMTS band (need to set 900+1800 for europe, 1900+850 for us, dont know who is using 2100+800)
once changed the phone will restart the phone part and search for your carrier in the right band.
good luck
Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I had changed the automode to on. But still had the E.
I went to the setings, and band tab, and i had selected:
Select your network type:
(blank)
Select your GSM/UMTS band:
Auto.
I changed the first oen to auto, and as for the last, here in Australia I'm with Tesltra which is 850 UMTS? I think I read online. Anyway it didn't have the option in there, so I went through them all but wouldnt get service at all except for the first: GSM (900+1800)+UMTS(2100+900). and Auto. I think my last experia might have had auto for all of those too. Anyway with those only two options working, I still get the E icon. Even tried setting aeroplane mode on and then off to see if it might register, but it didn't.

I see , Telstra is one of very few networks that use 850 for WCDMA so they might be using a different RADIO ROM than the rest of us
I saw in the thread below that there is a TELSTRA AUSTRALIA (1.03.841.8) R2AA008 version..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=477801&highlight=telstra
you probably need to flash that one to get the 3G working on telstra..
3 is using the normal 2100 so you could also try with their SIM just to check that there is nothing wrong with your hardware..
Sorry for the late reply.
I have realised that i'm in an area that doesn't support 3g. however my last xperia phone which I brought from telstra was the x1a, which had the next g network - hence I got the 3g symbol. However I have found that that I have the x1i, which doesn't list that network. I rang up telstra, and they transferred me to the sony erricson call centre, and they said you can try and do an update but it is not gaurenteed to get the next g service. I have already flashed a htc rom and don't particluarly want to change it back, unless i'm certain that I will get the next g service.
With the rom you have provided, do you think it will have the UMTS 850 band on there, and my x1i would be able to connect to it? I would have thought that it would be a hardware preference, not a software. In which case, even if I updated the rom because there is say no "chip" that allows for connecting to that band, it wont connec to it even though I may have selected the 850 UMTS band.
Sorry if that seems all over the place, but yeah... I'm not sure.
hi everyone ,i'm a new user .
as title i make this question.i often connect to internet by 3g connection.i went to setting/mobile network then i set data connection: on,3g connection: on and my country APN.My Hd7 work well ,but only "use 3g connection when availale". it almost switch to 2g network
Anybody have ideas to solve it ?it really really necessary for me
Sorry for my bad English,hope you understand my problem
Go to the dialer. Type ##3282#. Go to settings, under 'Network Type', choose 3G only. If it's already on 3G only (I think it moves back and forth between 2G only and 3G only while on Automatic mode), change it to 2G only, then back to 3G only. This will keep it on 3G only.
thank you very much.i solved it
hello friends I have a t-mobile hd7 but I'm from Colombia, they know how I can make it work on 3G network here in Colombia because it only works on 2g
i have shifted my data plan from 2g to 3g vodafone in india, can anyone advice if we need to change the settings in our note, as cannot find any difference in 2g and 3g...thanks in advance
yes the APN settings are different from GPRS.. check with the provider for the correct APN settings and enter it.. also you can check on their website.
when the phone is using 3G you should see 3G or H+ next to the signal indications
thanks bro, but i could find the solution, you need to go in settings and then in mobile networks, you should select wcdma option and then check the user data package..then it reflect's 3G or h+ and even speed..
