Hey gusy I just got my Aussie HD with 3G on 850mhz but I think I crapped it up. I did a hard spl then went to a custom rom and now I have no 3g when I did before. Can anyone please point me in the right direction.
Thanks,

it would help if you tell us what custom ROM you used AND if that ROM included a Radio. if it didn't include a radio, you should be ok... also, can you get an internet connection? did try going into Phone->Menu->Options->Band Tab->and select WCDMA for GSM and the 850/1900 UMTS band -> click OK and then see if you get a signal? these answers may help us solve your issue.
OK so I found the telstra rom and what back to it. Still could not get 3G. But with that rom I did at least have the 850mhz as an option under settings, phone, band. I was for sure that Houston had the 850mhz but I could be wrong. So now I am on Rom version: 1:19:831:0 (25581) Radio 1.10.25.25. Let me try changing those settings like you suggested. Is your reception good up there in Dallas?
my reception in dallas depends on my location... at home i usually get a solid EDGE signal. i'll get a stronger 3G signal if i go outside. conversely, here in KC, i have a solid 3G signal everywhere i go. so what ROM did you flash to your phone? and did you flash a Radio ROM as well?

Not every area in the US is covered by the 3G 850mhz bandwidth by at&t. I wish the online retailers would put. May work in North America. I'm sure if you traveled around the state a bit you would find that your phone gets 3G in some areas.
I also have the option to select 850 and 1900 GSM & 3G in the settings.

May I ask what rom & radio you are using? The original Telstra rom & radio show under settings, phone, options, bands the 850 spectrum and a bunch of different combinations. I hate the tf3d on the telstra rom because it is loaded with all of there carrier stuff but I want 3G. It seems that when I change roms even if I keep the same original radio I lose all those band spectrums under settings, phone, options, bands. What would you suggest?

Well right now I went bacl to the telstra rom & radio because I seem to lose bands if I change rom even keeping radio the same. May I ask what rom & radio you are running?
i'm running Dutty's 2.1 ROM with the new Manila. i had the same thing happen to me: one minute the Band Tab (under phone settings) are there and the next they're gone. there are 2 fixes i use when this happens: (a) simply soft-reset and they appear or (b) use a registry editor to goto HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting and then change the setting for ShowUMTSBandPage to 1. Sometimes i have to change the other Show****Page seetings as well. right now, my device is set to Auto for BandType and Network Type and i'm getting the H symbol everywhere i go in Kansas City. i know that once i get back to Dallas, the same settings will cause my signal to vasolate between H and E depending on where i am, e.g., at home it will likely be E. if you didn't flash a different radio, you should be ok. like AllTheWay said, you're probably not in an area with a strong 850 3G signal.

no, Dutty's 2.1 ROM does not come with a radio. what ROM did you flash that cuased the BandPage to disappear?
I used the newest wwwe shipped rom. But the used udk's custom RUU and placed the nbh file from the old radio back into it.
Hey guys, I am considering getting the telstra version HD soon, I was just wondering what do I need to do to set up the phone for ATT, or is it good to go out of the box?
Also will all the phone features function normally with ATT? Thanks for any input.
Also wondering if i have read this thread correctly, as long as I do not change the radio and only upgrade the ROM after HardSpl, then I should keep the 850mhz 3g?
Same here I have a european version of HD. What do I need to install to get the 850 3G on ATT ? please advice

you need another phone, a.k.a., the Telstra Touch HD. you will not be able to get 850 3G with the UK version of the Touch HD.
the telstra hd (T8285) is good to go on AT&T and Tmobile in the US....
straight out of the box...
another question i have is that i have the EURO HD. (t8282)..
in the BAND TAB (under phone settings) i have the options
UMTS (850 +1900) +GSM (850+1900)
does this mean that my phone will get 3g on an 850 MHZ network?
like AT&T or telstra in australia?
cheers

Is this possible? And if so can someone send me a cab file or instructions on how to make this happen. And sorry if this has been addressed already. This is my 1st official post. I have an AT&T Tilt with STOCK HTC AT&T ROM. Just upgraded the HTC Camera with one of the cab files I found on this site. Also I am having a bit of difficulty uninstalling two applications.
Wizard_reTouched_dial2.cab and today_wallpaper_pack.exe
I went to the normal start/settings/system/remove programs and I see them both in the list but i am unable to uninstall them. HELP!!!!!!
As long as you have a 3G / HSDPA / UMTS signal, you will be able to talk and use internet at the same time. If you are only on edge or gprs, you can NOT. This is covered many places in this forum........ Searching is your friend.....
Hey i'm using an AT&T TILT on Tmobile's Network with Stock Rom from HTC "AT&T's"
How can I force my phone or get my phone to use something other than Edge?

Travel to a location where there's clear 3G reception. Unless you've configured your phone away from default settings, it'll automatically default to the most useful signal it can get.
If you're using the stock ATT ROM then use bandswitch. If you're using custom ROM then it's in the phone settings. I use Garmin DK3 Final and it's in the phone settings. I can set it to connect only to UMTS band and only to HSDPA. I cant stand the 2G buzz when ever I'm around any speakers.
Are you referring to the Radio Version
or the actual ROMPaq? I am using AT&T/HTC Stock Rom but I am using the Radio Version from Japan.. 1.71.09.01

From what I know of, Japan uses a different frequency band than the rest of the world for 3G (800MHz). So you might not be able to connect to 3G networks in the US with that radio version. Do you ever see a "3G" or "H" icon for the network status?
No only E of course for EDGE
Cot Darnarbit!!! I might as well go back to the STOCK Radio Version I was running.
This is just an idea for a week now i have talked to reps left and right, tier level 3 from T-Mobile states the 3g is working on 1700 and 2100.
If u dont belive me check for yourself change the band to just utms 2100+800, try to make a video call and i will ask you just for a gsm network, just the same while you are on that band leave yourself a voicemail, you will see it showing up that u have a voicemail, therefor the phone registers to the 3g network.
All we need is a radio with gsm 900+1800 and umts 2100, and tilt users on t-mobile will be able to roam on 3g.
Just want to tank the community here for helping everyone and for giving everyone a chance
Oh btw if you wanna support this idea rate this thread.

Okay, so I changed my UMTS band manually from Auto to 2100+800, left myself a voice mail, and my phone doesn't pick it up that I have a voicemail. My current dialer doesn't have a video call option. Do I need to be in an area where they have 3G already?

You do have to be in an area where they have 3G, i apologize for forgetting to mention that!
You can allso call T-Mobile talk to someone in tech support and see if 3G is available where u live, also confirm that they use the 2100mhz band too
I was looking at some programs like bandswitch to see if i can get it to go on the 2100mhz band

Are you in an area that is supposed to have 3g?
You can check here
http://coverage.t-mobile.com/?MapType=Data&WT.mc_n=3GData_coveragerighttout2WT.mc_t=OnsiteAd
Yes, according to the map I am right in the middle of 3G territory.
I will have to go outside and see what I get, my building seems to shield most of the Tmo signal that is available. I'll try and remember to post back here later - especially if I encounter 3G again!

what i wanna know is what rom is BISCUIT using to be able to change his umts in the first place. lets start the testing there.
and also i did get a 3g signal also. my internet was faster. didnt try the upload. would try it again but i can seem to get the same speed as i accidentally did. or maybe it was jst me getting excited on seeing the 3g on my phone.(i am with tmobile)

I have tried every single ROM here, but sometimes when I try to answer a call the phone gets stuck.
The phone does it mostly on 3g mode, when i switch to GSM everything seems to work normally.
AT&t 3g is 850mhz here in Miami, I get 1.53mbps download speed but cant handle simple calls.
Is there a fix for this?
Thanks

All I can say is I have tried Dutty's 6.5, Miri's 6.5 and energy rom 6.5 and they all do it. I have tried 4 different radios and its still a problem. I hope someone on here can help because a phone that you cant answer calls with is real frustrating
Duttys 6.1 Turbo X didn't do it, but had issues with the SMS feature.

I am using 1.14.25.24 with the dll cab and my phone qulaity is excellent. Before this radio I was getting crappy reception, losing signal in areas of good strength. I also have my phone settings to WCDMA, GSM (1900 + 850) + UMTS (1900 + 850). Good luck.

I tried the band setting you mentioned, no luck. My signal is excellent everywhere I go, the problem is just when I answer calls.
I'll keep on flashing roms until I find one that works properly
have you guys tried different SIM cards to see if that may be causing the problem? if the problem doesn't occur in GSM mode, it might be signal related (i know i'm reaching here... using the process of elimination method). your respective delimas are perplexing.... i know this doesn't help, but i've had my device since March 09, live in an area where 850 3G coverage is not that strong, flashed a buttload of ROMs (4 this week) and 2 different radios and i (knock on wood) haven't encountered similar issues. you might consider flashing the latest Telstra ROM from HTC. don't know if it was leaked earlier, but based on the website the ROM was released on 7/23/09.
Same problem with my bothers SIM (also AT&t) Im going to request a new SIm and see what happens.
Im gonna try the telstra ROM, hopefully its better looking than the one that came witht he phone. Thanks.
I don't have another sim to try but I have also tried different radios and the problem remains. I did notice for whatever reason, Miris manila 2.5 rom with the "data connection" set to off but the "3G" set to on doesn't have the issue and sill works on 3G. I always thought "data connection" and "3G" had to both be on but it works. I tried the same method in the energy 6.5 rom but it doesn't let me configure the connection that way
Flashed Duttys 6.5 R9
Data Connection is OFF
3g Connection is ON
1.14.25.24 Radio
Phone Network Settings: Type AUTO GSM/UMTS Band: 1900 + 850
I'm testing it now, it seems to be working properly
The problem is still there, don't know what to do anymore
all of the sudden mine doesnt do it anymore, I have been using Dutty's R9 rom and Miri's 6.5/2.5 rom and every call can be answered fine. I happened to catch one of the "phone review" guys on youtube say that he has been having "call on the 3G network" issues but edge was working fine. He is in San Fran ( 2.5 Hours from me) so maybe it was/is a network issue???
Flashed Duttys 6.5 R9
Hard Reset
Installed Rilphone.dll
Turned phone off
Enter bootloader
Flashed 1.14.25.24 Radio
Soft Reset
Data Connection is OFF
3g Connection is ON
Phone Network Settings: Type WCDMA - GSM/UMTS Band: 1900 + 850
it has been working flawlessly for 2 days now.
I believe that the radio was flashed incorrectly the first time, it looked like it was successfully installed.

Hi,
Have a big problem in that whenever I put a rom on my new Tilt 2 (which I am running on the new HSPA Bell network). My phone thinks it is roaming.
This is a real pain and I can't seem to find away around the problem.
Please can somebody think of something I might be missing?

Are you sure its roaming and not mistaken the icon for something else? Also, if you are indeed roaming, which network is it? AFAIK, in ON, there's only 2 HSPA network Rogers/Fido or Bell/Telus. Who is your provider?

ok .. this is my experience about this problem ..
first my home base is Netherlands ! and im using Telfort network on my nokia .. buat the last 3 year .. Telfort using KPN Network .. if you turn ON the phone .. it will display Telfort .. but a few second it will change to KPN ...
maybe.. your operator also using another network...
if I put my Telfort sim to TP2 it will display Telfort but with with ROAMING icon !!!

Bell have their own network here so I dont think that could be the problem. I also have a Omnia 2 and an Iphone 3Gs that dont have this problem.
Also just tried to manually join the Rogers network and as I thought it would not let me connect.
It is only on the tilt2 after I flashed a new ROM onto it.
Thanks for the idea though.
Anybody else?

EDIT: read this first and then try the following suggestion
Try setting in the TP2 band selection to only HSPA and see what happens. Since bell has no GSM, and if your phone is set to 2G mode only, it's falling back on Rogers/Fido, hence, the roaming.
Start>>Settings>>Personal>>Phone>> Goto "Band" tab>>Set the GSM/UMTS band to "GSM (1900+850) + UMTS(1900+850).
Play around with the Network type by switching to GSM only or CDMA or leave it on Auto.
FYI Rogers/Fido and Bell/Telus HSPA network runs on 850/1900 band.
Food for thought....
Also another thing to consider, considering that Bell/Telus HSPA network is new, I thought i read somewhere you have to get your device "added" to their new HSPA system. Right now, only new sign-up's gets on the new HSPA network. In other words, your phone is trying to get on Bell HSPA network, but Bell rejects it since it's not in their system, so your phone hop's onto next on the list, either roaming on Rogers HSPA or Rogers GSM.

I dont think I am on the Rogers network as I get the Bell operator logo appear and the phone stays on 3G (as I cant drop to Edge because Bell dont have it on their network).
Also checking my online billing from the past few days I would expect to see some nasty roaming charges which I dont have.
Finally I also have a Jailbroken Iphone and that works on the network fine without any problems.
Its just very weird!!
Just tried to connect to the Rogers network manually and it will not let me connect. So it must be something wierd on the device.
Oh, it does show Bell operator logo. I thought the phone was registering on another entwork other than Bell.
Hmm, since you are not incuring roaming charges, only thing I can think of, is the network list that comes within the ROM classifies Bell as CDMA and not updated to reflect it supports HSPA. So it reads the network id as Bell and network type as HSPA and thinks its roaming? I dunno, i could be wrong lol! ::shrugs::

Make sense to me
I guess I can live with it if I need to. Does anybody know of a way to force the device not to flag any messages about roaming?
At least that will make it less annoying.
alrite heres my problem i live on the outskirts of town and almost always i have E(edge) coverage (att htc pure) some times i can get 3g but not all the time (the reason i need 3g is im using xda wifi sharing for internet at home as primary internet)so is there an app or anything to keep it forced into staying in 3g cause ill hold it in the same place and it goes 3g to E in the same spot constantly help would be greatly appreciated
I beleive you go to your dialer\Menu\Options\Band and set both to UMTS.

the band option in that option is not in there
What ROM are you on and what do you show under options in your dialer?
Settings-More-Personal-Phone-tab(Zone)
Select to both options the last ones.
my rom is 2.31.502.4
radio is 4.48.25.20
same as when i got the phone like i sed new guy
i think hes using a stock rom pure like me .We dont have that option with out a reg edit
try this
get a reg editor like PHM regeditor google can help ya find it .
Go to following registry key [HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting] and change "ShowUMTSBandPage" to 1 will enable band selection page in phone settings. You will supprised to find UMTS 2100 and 800 as viable selection there. However, we need someone verify it when they travel to foreign countries. To see the new band selection UI, go to start->settings->personal->phone and you will see a new tab labeled 'band'
go to the new tab and set network type to UTMS

thanks that helped me figure out something i checked the stats on the htc pure and actual 3g coverage was like 800kbps but when i get 3g out here the most i can get is 350kbps and found out its edge 3g wich means even tho your reg edit worked it was constantly searching for signal so new question is there a rom or radio that can amplify the antenna without actually having to go buy an antenna amplifier cuz at the minute im broke any ideas would be awsome

not really BUT try forcing it even further to 850 and you might get a bit stronger .. other wise start saveing .
Obsolete

I have the same problem as shadowscreation. I have tried switching bands and even purchased comm manager pro. When I switch bands it will try for and sometimes connect to 3g. But sometimes it will immediately switch back to edge.
It will still show wcdma on the band tab. Since it is not connected to anything at that time there must be something in software overriding the band tab, maybe in the registry. Someone please help me drill this down. xhozt, where is the option for 850 only? I haven't been able to find that.
