T8282 RADIO - Convert EDGE Radio to 3G? - Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development

Has anyone ever been able to figure out how to activate the 3G in the T8282 Radio? I know this was discuussed a while back and there was lots of controversy over whether it could work...
I have searched for updated answers and found nothing as to the current status of this issue.
Just want to know before I go ahead and sell my Blackstone. Great phone but Edge is too slow for me. If you are interested in buying mine PM me. I only used it a couple of months primarily for this reason and it is in pristine condition.
It is unlocked T8282 and using it on AT&T network in USA.

afaik you can't do it, i'ts an hardware limitation and software is not related.
fast way to fix it? sell your t8282 and buy a t8285

T8285 or is it
How can you tell?
I bought a supposed T8285 and after installing Topix 3.1.2 it won't connect to 3G anymore just E
Now when I look at the Hardware Identity it says T8282... then how could Ihave had a 3G and H connections?

check setting
check if 3G is enabled if not enable it and config the setting 2 auto .

I have T8282 and it has 3G/H ^^

if your device says BLAC120 in bootloader mode it's a T8285, if not it's a T8282.

couldn't get on 3G after ROM upgrade

Hi,
I have my D810 upgraded to the new HK D810 GPS Enabled Rom
(Rom 1.23.708.4, Radio 1.38.00.11)
and since then my 3G is not working quite right, I can get full bar of 3G, but I just couldn't make a call or recieve any call. And I'm on the Cingular network in the US.
Before I upgrade the rom, I can access the 3G with no problem. Now I can make a call only if I force my D810 to stay on the GSM network (2G).
Can somebody help? Or should I downgrade my rom back to the original dopod D810 rom? If yes, where can I find it?
Thanks.
Try using HTC tweaker to turn off HSDPA, that did the trick for me
Does it mean I can never use HSDPA on my D810 ?
ok, I've disable HSDPA, but it still can't make any call on 3G.....
man... now I hate the new rom... I rather don't have GPS but have my phone working...
have you have checked Start-->Settings-->Phone-->Band Tab--> and ensure that the Network Type is "Auto" or "WCDMA" and NOT GSM? and also ensure that the GSM/UMTS band is set correctly? (now, I'm really nervous about using that ROM!!!)
i have all the Band and Network setting right...
some people from the other forum say it is the network issue from Cingular because they are having the same issue, but on other phones.
it is quite weird, i can make a call under 3G in certain area within Chicago, but anywhere near my work office, it won't work...
And as usual, the cingular cs are useless, they don't even know what is going on

Diamond on Rogers 3G Network in Canada

Any one else here using the HTC Diamond on Rogers network here in Canada?
I just purchased my Diamond a few days ago to replace my HTC 3600P. My 3600P connected to Rogers 3G network perfectly fine and I was able to get broadband speeds.
Now, with the Diamond I can only get GPRS (G icon on the phone) and Edge (E icon on the phone).
I am not sure if this had anything to do with it, but unlike the 3600P, when first setting up the Diamond it ask if I wanted the phone to auto detect the network and auto configure the phone. I selected yes.
In the phone settings under network tab, the network selection is set to Automatic. Under the Band tab, both select your network type and select your GSM/UMTS band is set to auto.
is my phone setup correctly, or is it that the Diamond doesn't work with Rogers 3G network only GPRS/EDGE? If this is the case now, could a ROM update fix this?
I really need broadband speeds on my work and am seriously considering returning the phone, as I specially asked the store I purchased it from here in Toronto if it would work on Rogers 3G network like my HTC 3600P and they said yes.
Current Diamond models (EU and Asia) do NOT support North American 3G bands. There was some talk from Rogers that the 900MHz band would be support but for now GPRS is as fast as you will get with your Diamond.
Just to add confirmation to what NikoL has said.
No 3G with the Diamond on Rogers.
Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated!
My question now is will my ASIAN/UK diamond ever work on Roger's 3G network? If yes, any idea how long this will take?
I really need broadband speed on my mobile phone for work. I still have my HTC 3600P which works fine on the Rogers 3G.
I am trying to justify keeping the phone or returning it.
Worth holding on to?

To be honest buddy, it all depends on Rogers if they support that band that your missing. If they arent going to enable it on their network then you will never get 3G on the Diamond that you have now. So its a 50-50 chance they may or may not...probably better off asking them if you ring them. Im sure they will tell you if they have any intentions of enabling that band on their network.
Now if it was me, id return it and wait for the North American version which should be released next month hopefully. But this is me personally...im in the UK and i couldnt live without 3G myself...blazing fast on my nokia n95 8gb which i sold and at the moment im having to make do with GPRS because my nokia 8600 luna only does GPRS.

What are you doing that requires 3g?
Edge and GPRS don't imped stuff like email sync, syncml, or minor web browsing.
If you need to use remote access like RPD or UVNC then sell the phone. Roger's isn't about to turn on 900mhz as that requires changing the match on existing infrastructure. It makes far more sense for them to push toward LTE tech rather then waste it on whats going out.

I work in the streaming media industry, hence I definately require broadband on my mobile phone/device.
For now, I guess I will keep using my HTC P3600 which works perfectly fine on Rogers 3G and hope that the north amercian version of the Diamond will support Rogers 3G or on the tail end, that a ROM update for the Asian verision will 'turn on' the required freq to support Roger's 3G.

I would imagine the N American version of the Diamond would support 3G in Canada...as for a rom update to enable the asian version that you have now to use 3G??..i doubt it very much as its a hardware issue. The diamond you have is missing that 3G attenna.

You are correct about the ROM update. I called HTC Canada and confirmed this with their support department. I guess, I'll be putting my Diamond up for sale on ebay (as my local dealer refuses to take back the phone - last time I'll ever purchase from them, as I specifically asked about it working on Rogerrs prior to purchase) and wait for the North Amercian verision.. or see how the new 3G iphone stands up when it is released here on July 11th.

Browsing the NET while on a call

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.

Using a UK HTC Touch Diamond in the US

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.

upgrade blueangel network?

is it possible to upgrade a blueangel pda2k so i can use the next g network? sorry if im a noob lol
sorry that is not possible since the networks you are able to use are hardware features. you can't change a cdma phone into a gsm device and you can't use a software upgrade to enable hscsd, umts, edge and others.
it would be the same thing to want to enable wlan in a phone, that just doesn't have it. the software alone cannot change hardware specs.
its not an EVDO but yeah i know what u mean,
may look at buying somthing similar off ebay that does the same thing but 3g.
cheers
