At my house i used to get edge just fine now i cant seem to get it at all, im wondering if it had something to do with flashing the experimental rom or not.
I also receive 3g in other cities just fine.

Hi,
I've seen several posts about this issue, that all seem to end in limbo. My At&T Tilt initially worked great. I got it on 12/18 and it worked seamlessly from edge to 3G/HSDPA and gave excellent results.
I upgraded to Dutty's rom v6 and it continued to work just fine. I ran bandwidth tests and made voice calls in and out of 3G areas(I don't have 3G at my home area) with the Dutty rom no problems.
Then last week, while traveliing to a friends the phone stopped working for both voice and data. Long story short(see my other post) I had to install a comm manager that allows to disable 3G for the phone to work at all..which it does when forced to edge only. I cannot under any circumstance get 3G to work again, not even voice calling.
At&T says to return the phone or call the mfg. Has anyone who experienced this gotten it resolved? I really don't think it is the rom and suspect there are major network changes going on but don't know.
thanks

may have solved my own problem.
I entered the sim unlock code per the instructions on my att wireless account. It seems to have fixed it, the roaming triangle immediately dissappeared and 3g works when I enter an area with it active. Try it out anyone who is affected and see.

nope dwon again..sorry for the crosspost...no help folks?
Well skratch the idea of the sim unlock fixing it. It worked for a while...it a different 3G area(Worcester MA) but near Boston it still would not access the 3G network. Just guessing in the dark, maybe some sort of network update thats causes this is happening and some areas arent' affected yet. I may return the phone.

anyone have any input???
Well for the longest time I've had 3G activated on my phone but I've always connected to Edge. As of late my phone has been connecting to Rogers 3G. Sometimes it's stable, most of the time it's not. Connecting to 3G usually causes my phone and data connection to reset, usually back to G or Edge, and at times even causes my phone to soft reset randomly. Just wondering what's the deal with this and if I should just turn off 3G completely.
Maybe it's something you need to call your Roger's rep about? I'm on Rogers and I get 3G very consitsantly. I've had no issues so far. I dunno could it be the rom you're using?
its most likely a software issue. Try doing a hard-reset or try a different rom. Its either that or the 3G reception in your area isn't good. Try using 3G data with a different phone to see if its the network or your phone thats causing the problem
You guys are both using the X1 right? Cause I remember for the longest time Rogers didn't broadcast the proper 3G bandwidth for the Xperia... I dunno if that's changed since the X1 came out on Rogers
are you living in like a small town type of place or areas of the city where they don't really have that many or any signal towers? because that may be part of the reason why you go into edge a lot of times.
I think reception has always been a big issue with sony ericsson phones .
I lived in calgary, and when I drive up to general N.W. areas that are higher up in sea levels (such as edgemont (a phone reception killer location because a few years ago because they never had any reception towers up there) and parts of country hills) I get terrible reception.
my w810i, z610i, and my x1 has crap reception when I get to those areas from time to time.
anyways, hopefully you'll get it all figured out soon.
3G to edge to No connection
Hi I was about to open a new thread for it, then I saw yours. At least you are getting a 3G network. Mine just keep looking for it, then it finds 3G then Edge the H (I dont even know what that is) then there is nothing!!!!! Then it restarts again..........
Anybody any idea?
thanks in advance
Haha funny thing is, I actually live in Calgary and I only get 3G when I drive up North. I live in the South and I only get Edge but when I drive up to the University or am at the University in the NW, I get 3G. And yeah I've gotten H a few times too

im using the X1a from Rogers, so it does have the 3G bands. Im pretty much on 3G all the time and in some circumstances i get 3G+, which is probably a result of Rogers' enhanced 3G network
if im not mistaken "H" stand for HSPA......which is probably the same as me getting 3G+, guess it depends on the ROM being used.
If your using the X1i......then it could explain your spotty 3G reception
In any case, if your phone is restarting then try a hard-reset
I have a G1 that was given to me from a friend. Everything seemed to be working and she said she'd never had any problems with it. Of course, I went right to rooting it and installing a custom ROM. Normal process - nothing unusual and didn't have a single problem through the whole process.
It's currently running SuperCSDIv4 but I've noticed that it refuses to connect to EDGE. It will pick up 3G just fine, but never switches to EDGE, and when told to only use 2G networks, it never picks up a signal. This is killing the battery life, of course. I tried flashing SuperD as well and a stock rooted Donut ROM, but the issue persists.
It's running the most up-to-date OTA G1 radio and latest version of DeathSPL. Like I said, I had no problems rooting the phone.
Could this be a hardware problem or is there something I can do software-wise to remedy this?
I've actually unrooted the phone and returned it back to factory state out of curiosity - still no EDGE. I'm assuming it's some sort of hardware problem. :/
What are you trying to do exactly? Still a little confused on what you are trying to say. Do you have a data plan that you are trying to connect? Or you are just trying to turn down the setting to save battery life because you do not have a data plan?
I've got a data plan. It just absolutely refuses to get EDGE. No problem with 3G, though.
Why? You have 3G that's better than EDGE.
Battery saving purposes. And obviously when I'm in an area that doesn't get 3G service it'd be nice to get EDGE.
Is anyone else not getting EDGE in various spots where other phones can get 3G/4G when using the First on T-Mobile? I understand if there's no 3G/4G access, but I'm wondering why my phone sometimes can't even pick up an edge/gprs signal.

have you setup the epc.tmobile.com apn?
if not, then do so as your phone needs it to understand how to connect to the web on tmobile.
If so, then no. Do you get a good voice signal in those areas.
I've been a ProjectFi user for a few months now, and I love it. But I have one odd issue. I've updated to a Marshmallow ROM and installed the latest Radio as needed to properly activate Fi, and I get great signal of I'm in an area with LTE, but as soon as I'm in an area with no LTE I get no signal at all. No voice or data service, the phone just flat out says no service. Where on Lollipop, I had no problem picking up a 3G or 2G connection so I could at least make a phone call or send a text.
If I flash an older Lollipop Radio, my signal is restored, and I'll pickup 3G and 2G in areas where that's all there is (I'm in a very rural section of upstate NY).
I've tried flashing a couple of different Marshmallow based radios and sometimes one will work for a little bit, but then cut back to no service if there is no LTE.
Can someone shed some light on this issue? Why do the newer radios seem to pick up less coverage than the older ones?
I do get a better LTE signal with the newer radios, but it's not worth losing the rest of my coverage.

Have you tried a few dialer codes to see if they make a difference yet?
