Hi
I am using HTC touch diamond on three network. I don't get signals more than 1 one bar everywhere but if i try another operator's sim signals are fine I have got Sony Ericsson k800i with three sim it give full signal no problem my current radio on my device is v1.09.25.23
I live in Lancashire UK
thanks in advance
You may want to try installing one of the later Radio ROMs available for download and see if if makes a difference.
im with ya on that pretty much the same and calls drop a lot in the house
im using radio in my sig if thats helps, my gps works super fast tho so dont understand
i think its a network rather than a phone and yes i tried different radio from different devices aswell with same results. But this is weird if I use the same sim on any other phone than diamond i get full signals even on omnia.

Hi. I use a Diamond on the Three network, but I'm in Sussex. I'm using the latest HTC ROM build 2.03 and latest radio 1.11... At home I only get one bar - bit of a dead spot, but at work I get the full signal strength... So, likely to be poor coverage in your area (likely if works okay with a different providers SIM).
I'm actually contemplating a move to T-Mobile 3G at the moment because although I like Three, the 3G network is a bit patchy round here in places....
i m from qatar. recently i shifted to another apartment abt 500 away frm my old apt. in here QTel(operator) is having 3g network.
normally, wen i m out i get good 3g signal but at home i get edge or gprs.
in new apt i m facing strange problem on my TYTN II. wen i enter into living room, the edge or gprs signals also get lost but phone shows good signal strength for GSM. once the data signals get lost i stop getting any calls or SMSs but i can call out.
i had original HTC WM6.1 rom downloaded from HTC having radio 1.65.17.56. i thought upgrading the Radio shud resolve the issue so i upgraded the radio by downloading new official HTC rom frm this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=439408 but i m still facing the same problem. my current radio is 1.70.19.09
guys, any solutions for this issue???
Cheer up my friend!!
Dear friend,
I live in Serbia,Europe and I have faced the same problem many times...I just wanted to tell you that your phone is perfectly fine,and work great. However it has a network problem. Network signals,especially 3G sometimes make a lot of mess and confuses the phone. If you leave your appartment and if your signal is fine and phone behaves well,then,it is obvious that your network has bad coverage in,or,around place where you live.
Cheer up my friend,HTC works like a charm.
Other Phones Work fine!!!
thnx for ur reply. i know that i looks like a network problem. thats y i disabled 3g using Bandswicth Appln. but i face same problem. also if i put the Sim in other mobiles they work fine though i don't get 3g which i really don't need. i just want all voice calls n sms to work OK
Isn't a network problem
There isn't a network problem!
I have 2 phones a HTC Diamond and a Nokia, and problems appear only at HTC (Nokia works perfectly).
Why Diamond is only affected by network problems?
Hey everyone, long time reader, but I don't think I've ever posted before. I've had a HTC Touch Pro for a few months and I think its a great phone. Last was an iMate JASJAM.
I seem to get great HSDPA reception at my home, and a little bit in my office, but drops out all the time at work and goes back to EDGE, skipping 3G altogether.
This wouldnt normaly bother me too much, but 3 charges for going off their data network, and doesnt go towards my download cap, is additional.
I've tried out every radio that you guys have here for it, and none seem to help. And I have taken the SIM out of the phone and put it in my old JASJAM and it gets 3G reception fine in the same spot.
Maybe the actual physical antenna in the Touch Pro is very weak or something...
Any ideas peeps?
Thanks in advance
Forgot to mention, very occaisionaly in certain areas of canberra, I can get 3G reception and HSDPA, annoyingly enough, whenever I am at a 3 store
Hi everyone,
my data plan covers 3G and also HSDPA......im currently using the JF1.51 and when i use the go online with the device, it only shows the 3G logo....... does cupcake only cover up to 3G instead of HSDPA?
if anyone knows, please tell me, thanks alot....
p.s. i tried the Hero rom last month and after setting the APN, it showed "H" instead of "3G".....does it mean that the Hero rom has "unlocked" the HSDPA function?
thanks alot

The H in Hero is just a custom icon by HTC. All Dreams are capable of HSxPA regardless of whether that icon shows up or not. As for the carrier side, you are most likely on HSDPA. If you are on any T-Mobile network or most Asian networks (Taiwan, Japan, China) they are HSDPA. An easy way to verify is to start a speed test. Any speed higher than 384Kb/s downstream (384Kb/s ~= 48KByte/sec) means you are on HSDPA.
If all that was too complex, just assume you are on HSDPA.

I had thesame issue with the Touch Pro on sprint, it only shows the EVDO icon when connecting, however, sprint is even advertising their new 4G network but I have not seen my phone ever go to 3G or above. I thought something was wrong with my phone...
I went to sprint to get it exchanged because I bought the phone for the faster service. I was given a big spill over the offered network on sprint.
Your answer: Basically, some icons are not unlocked in some roms or are not even included depending on your service provider. This being said, you will most likely have to have the custom rom to get this to show up on your phone.
But even if your phone does not show that icon, test it and see if it uses the technology.
- What I did is took my TP to my friend who has the new Iphone 3G and we started the YOUTUBE app and loaded the exact same video. Even though his showed the 3G icon all the time and mine only showed EVDO, my phone brought the video up almost 5 seconds before the Iphone ever did, not to mention the quality of video is so much better.
Ok, I see that I am rambling, I hope that this helps though, however, if I have been informed incorrectly, please someone correct me because I would like the other icons too, just for my aesthetic needs.

thanks for the reply man, u gave me some ideas to what i need to do....
iv just tested out the jac hero (mod version from Nismo)....my gprs connection varies from the "H" icon and the "3G" icon......somehow i assume that it is running in between both speeds?
haha,
once again, gotta thanks to the bro who replied real quick....u r good guys unlike some members in the xda who arent willing to help with simple questions
i got an ev icon
this is kind of in relation to this thread...i was running one of drizzys hero builds and i was in new york one night...this only happens when im in the village..dont know why but anywho...i got an ev icon..im assuming that was for evdo cause i heard the new hero dumps have cdma support..dont know if im very wrong but the icon switched from 3g to ev and when i got on the browser i was impressed...my connection was flaming fast i mean ridiculous ive never seen nething like it...can anyone elaborate

Your rom can't give you cdma support, that is hardware related. And the G1 is only on GSM networks not any CDMA's so you might have seen some other type of icon because it is not possible to get EVDO on any G1.
these were my thought exactly...but i promise and swear to you it said EV not evdo but EV and my connection was faster than ive ever seen before..im going to get that screenshot capture nd next time wen i go to the spot where it happened i will show you...dont know how its possible or what it was..but it was super fast

I aint saying I don't believe you, I just know it is impossible to get CDMA on a G1 no matter what rom or dump. What I would assume is it was HSxPA and the rom you used had a dump from the sprint hero. That could explain why you had a EV icon and is most likely what happened. Like the other guy said his touch pro had a EV icon although it was getting 3G, so since you do have a 3G icon and it switched to EV it is probably because the area you were in had HSxPA.
yea that makes sense but wow was it fast..thanx for the input
HSUPA gets like 7.2mbps so it is like cable almost, I'm not sure about HSDPA but its is pretty quick too.
how would i get this speed on my g1? im on tmobile with the android plan..

Go somewhere that has t-mobile 3g coverage. That is the only way to get the speed you inquired about. If it's not in your area yet, be patient. They are doing alot of expansions to their network. If you live in a rather remote area (ex: somewhere that doesn't have EDGE coverage) don't hold your breath. It's gonna be a while.

HSDPA and HSUPA are both 3G telephony protocols in the HSPA family. They are two parts of the same thing. HSDPA (Downlink) provides up to 14 Mbit/s. HSUPA (Uplink) provides up to 5.8 Mbit/s.
btw HSPA (or 3g as US carriers call it) is CDMA. Though different from CDMA2000(EV-DO) which is what you were refering to, UMTS is still CDMA based.
And to those confused about the Icons. 3g and HSPA are two names for the same thing. The icon you see simply depends on what the common name for the technology is in the locale the rom was originally designed for. Google based roms usually show 3g whereas HTC based roms sometimes hav H instead. The only difference is the icon.
as for those with EV icons. They are probably from the samsung galaxy system dump. Not to say it's not out there, but I haven't heard anything about a sprint version of the hero rom surfacing yet.
Ohh I guess I didn't have it right. But I know I have seen something about HSxPA gettin 7.2. Damn 14mbits is insane for a cell, I wish I got that in my area. My DSL is only like 7mbits dl and 1.something upload.
Should get it eventually. I only get 7.2 as well, but t-mobile has the whole 1700 band leased, so we might get lucky over the next few years.
Hi guys,
i just recently bought a unlocked htc touch diamond. i have service with at&t in USA. i know that i will not get 3G coverage on this phone but should be able to get Edge service.
The problem that i am having is that i am getting practically no signal at all. when i do get one or two bars i get 'G' icon instead of 'E'. Infact I never get the 'E' icon. Does this mean that i am not getting edge connection.
I find this out of ordinary as earlier i had htc touch hd that phone had no connection problem and was getting fairly decent 'E' edge connection. I have the original iphone and that runs fine where i am also.
Can anyone help me with this problem so i can actually use this phone.
thanks in advance:confused
