Lost EDGE on flashing 6.0 to 6.1 ?? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

As title, TyTN 2, bought unlocked, about 18 months ago
A few weeks ago I flashed with HTC downloaded ROM - 6.1 version, official from their site..
Currently (now) on phone:
ROM 3.28.405
Radio 1.65.17.56
G 25.83.40.04H
Build 19212.1.0.3
I am in the UK and can put any SIM into the phone.
Orange and O2 have EDGE where I live and I used to get EDGE dataspeeds.
Now I don't see the E icon (but 3G and H work fine when I move into those areas).
IS it possible the new Rom will have stopped EDGE for me, or is it more likely the network has stopped EDGE for capacity, coverage or maintainance?
I am in a rural area in East Anglia and I know EDGE is a software upgrade to the base stations. And it used to work and I got up to 200k download, but now only 40k on GPRS (or faster on 3G or HSPDA).
Appreciate any pointers. CAN I force EDGE on the phone?
Cheers all.

Telstra ROM Available in 2-3 weeks

I was in a telstra shop today and asked about the WM6 ROM for telstra. The salesman metioned that there had been a few bugs but 2-3 weeks was the current expection.
That's good to hear. At the moment i have a Dopod c730 and Telstra Tre 750 (with the new WM6 voda rom) on it and neither of them can get 3G/HSDPA...only Edge connections. After 3 calls to Telstra they said 1) Dopods aren't supported because we dont sell them and 2) Windows Mobile 6 updates arent supported at all...
I just wish Optus' 3G rollout would speed up!!!!!!!!!!
ha how funny, i have it no problems at all...do you have a next g sim card?!?!?
@aussienick
I too have a Treo750 Telstra but now after the WM6 upgrade is now branded Vodafone.. I can get both 3G and H (which I am assumiing stands for HSDPA) and it automatically switches to H when I am using the internet/data and goes back to 3G.. I use a Voda SIM on this phone..
This sucks
Well this sucks..My Treo with WM5 was working great with the #G speed from telstra, then when updating to AT&T rom it went to edge and now with the Voda rom from Palm UK it only allows me Edge too...
I've had the same problem actually. I started with 3G working find, then went to WM6 ATT rom, then to UK vodafone. Still no 3G just edge.....this doesn't look good. Perhaps we need to go back to the original telstra rom??? Anyone got it?
i've never had a problem. my original rom was the vodafone because i purchased my Treo 750v from overseas. worked great on Three's 3G network although i had to find the modem settings through whirlpool.net
i've upgraded to the ATT WM6 Rom and it was even better... now with HSDPA! everything was pre configured so i didn't have to do anything even!
and after Vanilla-ing the Rom nothing's changed. i get HSDPA when possible. i only get Edge when i'm deep inside a building but i have forced my phone to lock onto an UTMS band only
Could this be the reason,
The AT&T Rom only allows
GSM(900 + 1800 + UMTS 2100
or
GSM(1900 + 850) + UMTS (1900 + 850)
Telstra are using:
GSM 900 / 1800
UMTS 850 (NextG) / 2100 (shared with Three)

If that's the case, then what options are shown in the Telstra ROM or the Vodafone ROM for band selection?
I don't remember, maybe someone here has an old WM5 build, and can tell us.
I remember having 4 options on WM5 and now only have 2 with WM6.
Currently on WM6 I only have:
GSM (900+1800) + UMTS 2100
GSM (1900+850) + UMTS (1900+850)
On the old WM5 I have both above plus 2 more, 1 i think only had GSM and the other I think was GSM + UMTS (2100, 1900, 850)..
Sorry could not properly remember..

Make sure you have a 3G or nextg sim, I just called into a telstra seller, and they gave me a new sim (no charge) for nextg.
Telstra have now replaced it, and it work fast. 3G normal and U for internet. 550
I thought it work OK with WM5, but maybe I was wrong??
Now internet/email is real fast, on WM6
I have an Treo 750-1.16-RWE, upgraded with 3 rom vanilla.
Treo 750 WM6 For Aussie World
Hey any of you fellow Aussie Landers used a WM6 upgrade then used PoP3 via telstra data plan on telstra 3g sim
Not keep to screw up my wife's new 750.
Spoke to Palm and they were not as sure at this 3-4 weeks window?
Spoke to head of Mobile Telstra and he confirmed problems may delay til <gulp> next year.
Either way loss of Telstra branding crap on my phone isn't an issue if it still allows her pop3..
FYI PoP3 is not Big Poo or Telstra .
Thanks in advance folks
come on telstra!!!
Telstra ROM anyone?
Does anyone have a Telstra ROM for the Treo 750, WM5 or maybe WM6 ?
What would be the best ROM to use for Telstra connectivity?

Aus 3 + ATT Ext Rom = No 3G data?

Hello all:
I've recently upgraded from the "leaked" ATT WM6 ROM to a ROM built from the Aussie 3 WM6 ROM with the "leaked" ATT WM6 Extended ROM.
With this combination 2G data works great, however, I have found that 3G data doesn't work at all for me.
It looks like it is connected, and will even try to switch to HSDPA mode when attempting to access data but I can't move any data up or down.
Was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what to check?
Thanks.
edit - 3G voice does work properly, so it isn't like I'm being denied access to the 3G network
I also switched from the Leaked ATT ROM to the Australia3 ROM, however I am not using any of the ATT Extended ROM stuff.
My 3G has worked fine
MS
???
I am having the same problem with my 3g data. my phone seems to connect but it will not open any sites. When I am on edge it works fine. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do to fix this?
I have the same problem. My location is the NYC Metro area.

same issue.....in the metro area as well......i went back to the leaked ATT rom since then.....hangs every once in a while but its still better than having WinMo5 in my opinion....
changed to vodafone
I had the same problem on a business trip to NYC. The Aussie 3G rom lost internet. I switched to the vodafone and haven't had a problem in NYC or back in SF where I live.
Well I went back to the Voda version and everything works fine. Does any one have an idea why the Aussie rom 3G will not work in NYC?
I went to the Voda ROM too and now everything is working perfectly...

Edge Connection Issue on Tilt

Just picked up a Tilt after defecting from Verizon for lack of decent/recent handsets.
I am running stock ROM & radio:
ROM 1.57.502.2
Radio 1.27.12.11
Build 18125
I noticed that while I am at work on MEdia Net/Edge I get voice but no data while the iPhone user sitting next to me has a fairly speedy edge connection. In his defense, he also has a Cingy 8125 that also has a great Edge connection in this location... It appears that there is a decent signal there, just not for my Tilt -
Any ideas?
Update Radio?
AKU 0.4.4?
Searched this prob & found nothing - sorry if I missed a giant sticky...
Thanks
I don't have the Tilt but the TyTn II. My problem is that I get slow Upload / Download speeds on my Edge connection i.e. about 100 kbs. When I put the same SIM Card in my HTC Touch I get speeds in excess of 200 kbs, so I gues my mobile operator cannot be blamed.
Tried different Radios including 1.27.12.17 and 1.27.12.32 but to no avail. any help will be apreciated.

Unlocked MDA stop working after visiting operator's network

Hello,
I have unlocked MDA Vario III (T-Mobile DE). I've bought it in Ukraine since nobody is still selling original HTC Kaiser here. It was perfectly working with various custom ROMs from this forum.
Currently it has:
ROM version: DualTouch v2
ROM date: 01/01/08
Radio version: 1.27.12.32
Protocol version: 22.45.88.07H
I was visiting at Germany early this month. Right after landing I has switched device on and GSM module has stopped working. I was visiting at Russia a month ago (also roaming network) and everything was ok. I've returned to Ukraine and GSM still does not work. I have ! sign near antenna icon and "No Service" description. The only network I can see is 25507, this is UMTS operator in Ukraine. All others are pure 900/1800 GSM. I've checked IMEI - it is not changed.
When I make hard reset I see blue light blinking at the device, this means GSM module works, but when OS is loaded blue light is switched off. Everything works fine - GPS, Wifi, Camera etc. Only GSM module is not working. Any ideas?
Follow up. Seller has replaced the broken device. Summary - this is not repairable problem.

3G in US with future radio rom?

Hi,
I just got a UK Touch Diamond, and using in US with AT&T. Apparently 3G is not working, and I'm pretty much stuck with GPRS or EDGE. I was wondering if it would be possible to add 3G (US) support by installing a US radio ROM. Or will I need to replace the phone with a US version?
Thanks
Right for the last time!!!!, the uk/asian spec of the Diamond will not support 3G in the USA because it IS MISSING the attenna for that band and no updated rom etc will ever fix that problem. Its a hardware problem rather than a software problem
If you want 3G in the US then wait for the American version of the Diamond....should be out by July sometime and will support 3G in US.
