3G No longer working?

I live in the Chicago area and am testing out AT&T service and the Tilt (thinking of switching from Verizon). Anyway, late last night the Tilt started searching for signal and could not find the Voice or Data network. I tried doing a hard reset... still nothing. When I got up this morning, it was still searching. I tried another hard reset, and now it is able to get on the voice network. The data network is working as well, but only as Edge, as it does not seem to see 3G capabilities anymore.
My question is do you think this is an issue with the radio, the SIM or simply AT&T's network. I was using 3G with no issues since Friday. The phone is brand new and was working flawlessly until last night. I did not perform any tweaks, or install any software other than Flexmail.
Your input is appreciated.

Dont worry, it could be just a network (provider) issue.
I got 3G signal at home, but sometimes (very rare) I got GPRS only
It will be ok

i am in chicago and all of today couldn't get on 3G, I hope it is network because I didn't change anything from when it was working till now

I don't think this is a network problem. For 2 days everything was fine. Now, mine does the same thing as eras2r. Works fine on Edge but when I am on 3G, it not only fails to connect for data, but it also kicks me off the voice network. Takes about 5 minutes or more to reconect. Sometimes it throws me out when 9n 3G area for no reason. AT&T told me to return, but since I was Premiere, I could only do an exchange. Total suck. Hopefully I get my new one and it won't have this prob.
Turns out it was a radio ROM problem. Need to make sure you are using:

I had 1.27.12.11 and it was killing me, but now all is good in the World!

AT&T coverage Tilt

Hello all.
I am such a beginner at this... please help.
I have a Tilt that I successfully unlocked - I think - and then flashed it with Duttys_WM6.1_ Official_5.2.19209 (Thank you . Everything is working, WI-FI, GPS if I am in the AT&T area (Detroit), I also tried it with a T-Mobile SIM and it works. I bought a "pay as you go" SIM and I activated it and again, it works
My problem: I live in Windsor Ontario and my SIM has a Detroit Michigan #. If I am close to the border - say 5-6 km - the phone works. Beyond that it has no signal. Isn't this supposed to be roaming or something? Is it the pay as you go? Or is it the phone itself, ROM or something else? When the SIM was not activated it was also saying "no service" even in Detroit but I assume that was normal.
When I do not get signal, the QuickGPS and the GPS Test does not get anything even if WIFI is active and internet is working. Is this normal also?
Thank you, Adrian

GPS is not dependent on cellular technology, it is only dependent on GPS satellites that transmit signals all over the world, regardless of your wireless provider, or whether you have WIFI or not.

Thanks. On the QuickGPS page it mentions GPRS, that is why I assumed it needs service to work. I hope I will understand how to program this better in time. All I know is if I can use the phone i.e. I have phone service then everything works, GPS included. If not, not.
Also, please guys, if you have any idea about the first part of my questions... Thanks

Pay as you go SIM normally have a reduced coverage area compared to their pre-paid counterparts. Also if its a US pay as you go SIM there is a good possibility it won't work internationally from what I've seen of them in the past.

3G No internet! help

ok i'm using build 19700.dutty"s wm6.1. i have at&t. when i get 3g network internet won't work. nutthin will connect. i'm a lil new at this so don't flame me. but is there some settings that i have to change or wat. it sux cus i live in upstate ny and i have no problem there. but i work in nj closer to the city and i can't use the internet there. i wanna keep 6.1 cus it is def better. but that is my only issue. help

Does the internet work when you are on Edge? Or is your house also in a 3G service area, and the internet only doesn't work in good ol' NJ?

I my state (Oregon) it used to be that when I was In my home town, 3G and Edge would work great. But If I drove an Hour south to the State Capitol Neither would work.
Then I ungraded to the latest ROM and I've been removing the Proxy. Everything seems to work ok now.

Continuing this train of thought...
Did the internet work in NJ before upgrading to WM 6.1? AT&T has this nasty habit of using several different frequencies for it's 3G network, and a 6.1 radio might have issues with the frequency running in NJ.

yea internet worked before i upgraded. and there is no 3g where i live so i think it has to do with that. i'm not sure but i haven't been able to figure it out i would hate to downgrade but so far it looks like i'm gonna have to if i can't figure this out

Do you configure your AT&T settings manually, or using HTC connection setup?

I have the same problem. When i got a 3G the internet connection drops. But i can make video calls.

Always Searching...No Service

I purchased a used AT&T Tilt from E-bay 6 weeks ago. It worked great for 6 weeks, but starting yesterday it has not been able to use the cell phone. Here's what's happening:
1. Soft reset phone.
2. Open the "Phone Settings" page to watch status.
3. Says "Current Network: AT&T". Signal level in status bar shows full strength. Network icon in status bar shows "G".
4. After about 10 seconds, the "G" changes to "3G". Still shows full strength signal.
5. After 10 more seconds, the "3G" changes to "X". The signal level changes to "!", And the current network changes to "No Service".
6. After 1-2 minutes, the sequence repeats starting at #3 above.
7. Pressing the "Find Network" button, doing soft reset, and powering off & on all result in the same thing.
Other info:
ROM: AT&T WM 6.1 (from the HTC website)
SIM: Cingular 64k Smart Chip (not 3G)
I do not have a 3G signal in my location
Tried SIM card in my old Motorola 551 and it still works fine
I have Kaiser Tweeks installed
Any ideas???

???

I wish that was the problem. But my old phone works just fine.

my friend had the same problem with her Tilt. the AT&T guy at the service store says that because she was out of town this past weekend, the phone is still trying to find the signal to that particular tower. that is BS! the Tilt has a known issue with this problem. but luckily, she got a new Tilt with the new Windows Mobile 6.1. that works. this is her 3rd Tilt with AT&T since June due to the same problems - can't pick up signals.
but, if the old Tilt phone was connected to Edge instead of 3G, it would get service. try to disable 3G in your phone. you have to use Kaisertweak or some other kind of program that allows you to disable 3G.

Thanks. I stopped by an AT&T store a few moments ago. While they were not able to help me with my problem since I didn't purchase it from them, they did say that they just turned on 3G service to our area yesterday. This is the exact same time that my problems started. Apparently my phone doesn't like 3G. They did upgrade my SIM card to a 3G card, but that didn't help. Still having the same issue as in my first post. So, now I'm going to try to find out how to disable 3G on my Tilt to see if that works. (I have Kaiser Tweeks, but I haven't noticed a "Disable 3G" setting.) Time for more research...

Fixed!!! I installed the "Enable Band Page" cab file found in the folowing post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1956747&postcount=10. Then I selected "GSM" as the network type. The phone works just fine now in Edge mode. I don't use data on my phone anyway except via WiFi (don't want to pay for a data plan) so I don't really need 3G.
I'm so glad it wasn't a problem with the radio in my non-warranty phone.

Touch Diamond GPS use.. its not letting me!

Hi All, i live in Hong Kong and use a pre-paid 2G SIM card on the 3 network.
(so this could be the problem)...
I'm trying to use the GPS by opening google maps, but i keep getting an error message saying that the GPRS connection failed.. I thought that using the gps would not require using the network..
also, when it does work (i have no idea how but it does), the GPS can't lock on to any satellites...
what if i just want the co-ordinates using the GPS without using google maps.
is the GPS mode unlocked in the HK english version? if not, what steps do i need to take to correct this.
thanks in advance.
