Phone Band Settings

Is there any way to configure the UMTS Band settings on the Trinity / D810? I ask as the ROM provides the following options:
Network Type:
Auto
GSM
WCDMA
GSM/UMTS Band:
Auto
GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(2100)
GSM(1900+850)+UMTS(1900+850)
UMTS(2100+800)
Now ... for the HSDPA Network in Australia for Telstra (Next G), I need the phone to work on the UMTS(850) Band. However, by selecting the option above where the only UMTS(850) is available means that the alternate 3G Band (not HSDPA) of UMTS(2100) is not available, and the GSM Bands in the same selection are not valid for the Australian market.
Couple of queries, and I hope there are ways of configuring the device to achieve this (without getting a new ROM to support it):
When a Band selection is made, what is the order which the device uses the connections? ... i.e. if the selection was GSM(1900+850)+UMTS(1900+850), will it look for UMTS or GSM first? If UMTS, which band - 1900 or 850?
When Auto is selected, I am guessing it uses each option in the list until it finds a valid network? This would mean that for Australia, if left on Auto, you would never select HSDPA for Telstra as it would find the 3G UMTS(2100) network first (non-HSDPA).
My assumptions are that if left on Auto, it looks based on list order (which is the network order in the registry). So, for Australia, I need a setting like the following:
GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(850+2100)
Is it possible to create this Band Selection without a new ROM?

The new Dopod ROM has the same band selections as yours does. I tried changing the selections to manual with bad results. I just leave it on auto now.

I could do that to, but it would mean I don't get HSDPA. I have verified this. The only way to get HSDPA is to set the Band selection to the one with UMTS(850) in it ... this is not ideal, and that's why I posed the question to this forum.

No one??
I am guessing that no one has ever come across this, or needed to do it?

Registry Patch
This Registry patch works for the Hermes. It might work on the Trinity.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting\BandType]
"ItemCount"=dword:00000006
"ItemName1"="Auto"
"ItemName2"="GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(2100)"
"ItemName3"="GSM(1900+850)+UMTS(1900+850)"
"ItemName4"="UMTS(2100+800)"
"ItemName5"="GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(2100+850)"
"ItemName6"="GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(850)"
"ItemValue1"=dword:00000000
"ItemValue2"=dword:00000001
"ItemValue3"=dword:00000002
"ItemValue4"=dword:00000003
"ItemValue5"=dword:00000004
"ItemValue6"=dword:00000005
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\UMTS\BandSelection]
"Band"=dword:00000005
You really just need to add ItemName5 and 6, and ItemValue5 and 6, and change the ItemCount from 4 to 6 (as you added two options) using your favorite Registry Editor.
Do a soft reboot of the phone. Now you can select the NextG option GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(850)

3G connection
I drive around the Perth Metro area a lot for work and am finding that if left on Auto the connection is lost quite often mid call. How have you found the 810's management of the bands? And the auto fallback? Is there a way to set the fallback threshold so it drops back if under 2 bar signal strength? At the moment it sits on 1 bar strength and drops out mid call.

Phone Options Band Selection Tab?

I can't figure out how to enable the band selection Tab under Phone/Options.
I found another thread mentioning a registry entry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\PhoneSetting
ShowUTMSBandPage=1
This didn't show the tab for me, even after soft reset.
I'm using the XDA Live rom, but I'm somewhat sure this didn't work for the stock AT&T rom either. I do remember seeing this tab in many of the HTC modified roms I've tried but I'm sticking with the XDA Live rom.
Does anyone know how to get the band settings tab in Phone Options?
I can use the comm manager, but it only switches between GSM and 3G, but not to auto, so in some places where 3G signal is week, I don't get service at all because I can't set it to AUTO from the comm manager.

Tilt Locked in Edge Mode (bandswitch fallout?)

I demo'ed bandswitch, and it expired. I decided not to purchase it, and uninstalled it.
It seems that since the last mode I was in within bandswitch was GSM, and now my Tilt is always in Edge...
How can I fix this?
Thank you!!!

Did you try the "normal" way of switching bands? Telephone - Menu - Options - Band - Network Type: Auto or WCDMA as you like?

Yes, I shoudl have mentioned that I did some searching and found that in a wiki. I attempted that. I do not show the "band" screen in my Tilt.
I'm running the standard AT&T software....

A hard reset should fix it...

If it doesnt show the band page in the phone settings then download Kaiser Tweak and enable it. A hard reset may be an option, but use it only as your last.

it depends on what rom your using the AT-T roms will not show the band option even if you enable it using KaiserTWEAK

I am using the original AT&T Tilt software/rom

Is there a way to enable manual network selection on an AT&T Tilt?

I have an AT&T branded Tilt (Kaiser). Is there any way to activate manual network selection and search like I used to do on my old Motorola phones? Right now the options don't show in the phone menus.

Search 'force roaming'...
Also, there is an internal program called "Field Test", but I won't know if it allows network selection. I'd sure like to find out, as I'm in network purgatory.

Thanks. I've found field test about 2 months ago. It doesn't seem to work well in 3G mode, but in GSM mode it rocks. No network selection on Field Test.
Thanks, Jay
EDIT: They didn't have an answer in that thread either... I'll have to keep looking

Yeah, I should have clarified... no solution yet.

The stock HTC ROM allows this, but it didn't seem to do anything. I know because the ATT HSDPA network is available at my house (barely), and when I lose it it switches to a full signal Edge.
But! If I switch to GSM it seems to lock to the much better Edge signal at my house instead of the HSDPA. That works for me, but will it limit my signal elsewhere?

Here is the registry hack that lets you do it. I can search and it displays the available networks but I haven't been able to switch networks. Upon a soft reset it reverts back to not showing the options. If you get it to switch networks please post here.
HKLM\Security\Phone\ManualDisable = 0 and
HKLM\Security\Phone\PreferredDisable = 0

[Q] Anyone knows how to change HSPA / HSDPA to enable? PLEASE HELP!

hi... my name is Juan and I'm looking for help from chile...
I want to enable HSPA / HSDPA in my samsung galaxy S, because here is very slow our mobile network.
Me and my girlfriend we have the same cellphones, our configs are the same (options, mobile company, acces point names, everything!)
She can "surf" with HSDPA at 1.9mb/s but my phone is always in EDGE and everytime that I make a test with SpeedTest, my speed is 0.07Mb/s!!!!!
I read EVERY PAGE, in the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=837716
and I was looking more for help here...
I sought on internet and I tried EVERYTHING... but nothing happen...
Please, exist another way to change the HSPA / HSDPA from 0 (disable) to 1 (enable)???
please, help!
thank you!

no one?
any idea? change a variable inside the root folder??? please help.
thanks!

First do you have 3g enabled from your operator?
Secondly make sure your network is not set to gsm only in your handset

Im having this problem also.
Trying to flash CM7 and having issues. I believe the answer is to enable HSDPA.
Has anyone managed to successfully get this working. Im on Orange UK if that helps.

Did you followed this procedure:
Go to the phone dialer pad and enter this code: *#301279#
Click [2] CHANGE HSPA REVISION
Click [1] RELEASE 99 (HSPA OFF)
Then you should see something like:
CHANGE_R99
HSDPA OFF, HSUPA OFF
?

I've exactly the same issue. I have tried the *#301279# code and change it to on, but it just won't. I'm going into "Click [2] CHANGE HSPA REVISION" and selecting the HSDPA to on. But if I go back and check the status it is still 0. Is this has something to do with the carrier? Or maybe after selecting the value you need to save something? Desperate!

I have the same problem. I have hsdpa 0 hsupa 0 and can't turn it on anybody has solution ? I wanted flash cm7 but I can't do it without hspa enabled

Yup same issue here. Was going to create a new thread, but perhaps I should bump this one instead.
*#301279 is permanently ingrained in my head now, but I just can't seem to modify any settings through it.
Suggestions if anyone new has come on board?

if you are all running CM7 I think you need to flash to a 2.2 rom, enable HSPA in that rom and then flash back to CM7. I read that somewhere in the tutorials for previous versions and not sure if this bug still exists but just so you know. good luck

Enable 3g from your operator. Then go to settings > wireless and network > mobile networks > [select] use packet data, set network mode to WCDMA/HSDPA/UMTS.
Should work now.

I have the same problem..
but when i go to settings > wireless and network > mobile networks > [select] use packet data, set network mode to DSM/WCDMA (auto mode)
Where is HSDPA & UMTS ?
anyone can help..

This worked for me.
1. dial *#301279#
2. select 2
3. select 3
4. hit back key to exit.
5. go to Settings->Wireless Networks->Mobile Networks>Network
Mode. Select GSM/WCDMA(Auto Mode) or option 1 whatever that is.
6. hit back key to exit.
7. If still not working toggle airplane mode. This step should not be needed though. If you wait a few seconds you should see the 3g/h/h+ appear.
