I have a P4550 keiser. My carrier is T mobile usa. When I browse the web all I get an E icon instead of G in Internet Explorer. I called T mobile and tech there told me that T mobile 3G is different and that my phone will not work with T mobile 3G. That its a hardware issue. and there is nothing I can do about it.
Anyone in the US with a kaiser have 3G working for them? Any info or help would be appreciated. I also tried to search but came up with nothing.
thanks!
This has been discussed in length several times before, and the T-Mobile rep is correct, the hardware in every version of the Kaiser (except KAIS140) does not contain support for the 1700MHz band required for T-Mobile's 3G network.
For more information, refer to these search results. Search term used: "kaiser T-Mobile 3G"

A friend of mine just purchased the Kaiser to be used on the at&t network. He lives in a 3G area in the USA and for some reason, his phone will not hold the 3G connection. It wants to switch to Edge. Is there a manual setting to stop this from happening or a new utility to enable/disable certain connection. Is this normal for 3G to do this. Any information I can pass on would be greatful.
Thanks
I think it's an indication that 2G is stronger than 3G in your area. My Kaiser always hold 3G connection all the time where I live. You can "manually" force 3G. Here is one the many ways to do it: on Windows Start menu, go to "Setting" then "Phone" (on the "Personal" tab), click "Band" tab, then use "WCDMA" for network type selection (default is "Auto")
Thanks for the help. I'll pass it on.
While the Kaiser is my first ppc type phone and I cannot claim to be expert I do think that this is a normal reaction of the phone to what networks are available.
I live in San Jose Ca. and must, perchance, move up and down the peninsula in the normal course of work and life.
I see my Kaiser switching from Edge to 3G to unnamed all up and down the peninsula. It is best for 3G in the cities and worse up in the hills -as one might expect. I also get the best 3G connections in the evenings and night vs. the daytime when, I assume, more 3G users are taking up bandwidth.
It is unfortunate that where I live is an Edge (during the daytime) area though I am paying for the 3G data plan.
3G issues with the TyTnII
Hello all:
I post on the AT&T HTC forumn and had this thread sent to me by another poster there.
I also have a TyTnII newly aquired from MobilePlanet on Weds. I am having the same issues with 3G. It briefly flashed the G icon on boot up then switches to Edge with all 5 bars. I've tried the manual mode fix, no luck. The wcdma gets no signal and the gsm goes back up to 5 bars same as auto.
Then theres the inability to register my serial # on HTC's EU site. Says SN is invalid... MP has had several reports of EU devices doing this.
I'm in the US, NorthEast NJ area. And in the middle of a known 3G area.
Bill
Can anyone help Bill out? How many of you CAN use 3G on the USA at&t network without a problem? He's trying to see if it's a setting issue or a phone issue. I'm not in a 3G area so I can't help him here.
Thanks

I get a 3g signal when I go into Philly (I live about 45 minutes outside the city) It holds it just fine as well. Is it possible you just have weak 3g coverage where you are? I actually shut off the 3g on my phone as I have no 3g coverage at work or at home and the 3g connection discharges the battery in a hury.
I'm on AT&T as well.
Oh - BTW - I also can't register my phone with the eClub either. I sent an Email to the HTC Webmaster but have not had any reply in 3 days. I'm not too confident in HTC's support.
I own the MDA Vario III and am very pleased with it. There is one thing however that I stil haven't been able to get working since the Vario II and that is the H icon.
What I want to know is if it is enabled on the Vario III. I know it is on the TyTN II as my brother has that and it showed the magic H icon. Have any (dutch) T-Mobile users here ever have the H-icon appear?
Is in the phone settings 3G net enabled?
Not sure what you mean by that.
3G is enabled as I am getting the 3G icon. What else should I check?
see this thread.
I'm not sure whether T-Mob controls the HSDPA over their network or whether it is solely controlled through a registry entry.
As of yet, the other HSDPA users on this forum haven't been so helpful as I've posted a few queries about HSDPA on a variety of areas, with limited success
HSDPA on T-Mobile NL is not in service yet, but should be available soon. I've only seen the H on my phone once in Dublin, Ireland with O2.
I get a H in UK but I have a feeling HSPDA might be officially setup by tariff. I am on W&W plus if that makes a difference

No, I am on WnW basic, and I get the "H" within london
I dont get it where I live (just outside london)
I did ask T-Mobile (via email)about HSDPA and capped data-rate
High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) (Sometimes known as High-Speed Downlink Protocol Access) is a 3G mobile telephony protocol, which allows mobile networks to increase their data transfer speeds and capacity. T-Mobile currently support HSDPA speeds of up to 1.8 Mbps (Megabytes per second)
Access to HSDPA speeds is currently free on T-Mobile, however the customer will be charged based on the amount of data transferred (subject to Price plan and allowance)

though I worry aboute the "currently free" phrase ;-)
Hi there - I can use HSDPA on my Kaiser too - but ! I only see the HSDPA when I`m locked into data service - what I do want is that when ยด`, in the normal phone mode that it not only shows the 3g but the H - does anyone know how to get this ???????????????
Many thanks in advance

Hi, first post, searched a little...need help
I bought a tilt in December from AT&T, an 8900 non camera. I'm in S. Korea and I cannot get service. I have international roam activated and AT&T has confirmed account settings are correct...Here's the deal:
1. Phone searches for a few minutes and the I get an exclamation point.
2. Goto phone settings and see "no service"
3. Change network settings from auto to manual.
4. Phone finds KTF and SK Telecom (the two providers here in S. Korea).
5. Tries to register and generally there is no feedback, but on occasion I have received the message "Cannot read settings from the network. Try viewing settings later or disconnect data connection and try again."
6. Data is not connecting.
7. AT&T technical support (level two after the customer service rep) says the problem with the tilt is I cannot force it to use umts 2100. Then he came up with the idea that my SIM is from AT&T and that's the problem, I have to go get a local SIM from SK Telecom, but I was here in October with a Palm750 and an ATT Sim. Worked like a charm.
I'm stuck....could use any help at all!!!!
Thanks,
Steve

Are the carriers that you are referring to CDMA or GSM?
The local carriers are WCDMA/UMTS 2100 and I've downloaded the band tab dll from another post and confirmed that I am on the correct band...
I'm almost convinced it is an account problem. As of this morning my phone would continously come up with a "select" network screen (As there are 2 networks here). I select either and get the message "unable to register on the selected network, choose another or change data connection type"..
As I understand it, when I roam, my sim or phone # attempts to register across the local network to my home network and it needs authentication before I can have access...
what do you think?
bump....anyone with experience at all here?
In a simialar boat soon
I will be moving to Korea soon (Military) and I have an 8925 (unlocked) and I am wondering if I will be able to use my phone with either SK Telecom or KTF (both have GSM, I checked.)
If so, will I have to change anything in my phone? I'm using Dutty's WM6.1 Hybrid v2 5.2.19716 with the 1.65.14.06 Radio.
Hi all,
I'm new to MDAs and to these forums so bear with me. I looked around quite a bit and have been unable to resolve my issue. I obtained an HTC Touch Diamond (a T-mobile Compact IV) in the UK and am trying to get it working in the US. While in the UK there were no connection issues but as soon as I got to the US the connection is unstable. I have managed to make about 10 calls in the US but they cut out after a short time and most of the time I cannot make a call or cannot connect to a network at all. It can always see Tmobile and AT&T but can rarely connect, and when connected can rarely call. I have flashed the TLR 3.08.07.16 WWE ROM and updated the radio ROM to 1.09.25.23
Any help would be greatly appreciated
from my basic knowledge of radio, uk networks use gsm while most us networks use cdma that mite be your problem!!
try going to start>settings>phone (in the personal tab)> scroll to the band tab and change ur network from auto to wcdma!! you may also have to change the band setting your using, but u may have to check with your network on what frequency they use
Thanks for the suggestion. Thus far I have only been able to connect on GSM, CDMA has never worked. I also have been using the 850 1900 band which I heard is the one used in the US. I have connected occasionally but am still having trouble.
I bought a Diamond 2 on sunday and received it today. I was able to get the phone active on my 3G sim card from my old motorola l6 phone but my service still shows a big E (to the left of the signal strength) and a little e (on top of the signal strength). I am assuming this is the Edge network, right? Is there a way for me to get on the 3G network? Or does this phone not support the At&t 3g bands?
My connection settings for Band are set to auto. I also have the "advanced network" setting set to Enable HSDPA/HSUPA and in my settings-->advanced--select my "modem type" is set to GPRS,3G under the connection of My ISP. Is there another access point url I should have in other than cingular.wap??
any input is appreciated.
Thanks.
no AT&T 3G for us sadly unless they make a specific AT&T branded TD2.
Though this is one of those times that I would be happy to be proven wrong.

Thanks for the response... Maybe we'll get lucky and be able to access 3G it in the future...
Don't get too excited, there is no way of implementing North American 3G data on unbranded TD2 phones since its an hardware issue, not software.
