Does anyone else have this problem? I can never get iheartradio or the new siriusxm app to work on tmo 3g. It never connects even when I clearly have full 3g signal and am getting around 1mbps with speedtest. If I am on wifi works no problem but being on wifi doesnt help me when I'm in the car. It is a tmo problem or an area issue? I am in the tampa, florida area.

I live in the Chicago area and am testing out AT&T service and the Tilt (thinking of switching from Verizon). Anyway, late last night the Tilt started searching for signal and could not find the Voice or Data network. I tried doing a hard reset... still nothing. When I got up this morning, it was still searching. I tried another hard reset, and now it is able to get on the voice network. The data network is working as well, but only as Edge, as it does not seem to see 3G capabilities anymore.
My question is do you think this is an issue with the radio, the SIM or simply AT&T's network. I was using 3G with no issues since Friday. The phone is brand new and was working flawlessly until last night. I did not perform any tweaks, or install any software other than Flexmail.
Your input is appreciated.

Dont worry, it could be just a network (provider) issue.
I got 3G signal at home, but sometimes (very rare) I got GPRS only
It will be ok
i am in chicago and all of today couldn't get on 3G, I hope it is network because I didn't change anything from when it was working till now
I don't think this is a network problem. For 2 days everything was fine. Now, mine does the same thing as eras2r. Works fine on Edge but when I am on 3G, it not only fails to connect for data, but it also kicks me off the voice network. Takes about 5 minutes or more to reconect. Sometimes it throws me out when 9n 3G area for no reason. AT&T told me to return, but since I was Premiere, I could only do an exchange. Total suck. Hopefully I get my new one and it won't have this prob.
Turns out it was a radio ROM problem. Need to make sure you are using:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Kaiser/Radio/KAIS_Radio_Only_1.27.12.17_CustomRUU.rar
I had 1.27.12.11 and it was killing me, but now all is good in the World!
dumb question.... but i was under the impression you could make a phone call and access the internet at the same time. Is this not true?
I was on the phone and tried to access the internet and was told NO. i am on a 3G connection.
Well ofcourse I do not know exactly what happened with you, but some providers have 'buggy' setups that can cause this. Most of those providers are working hard fixing that problem right now.
You can turn 3G off somewhere, I know I've seen it, but now I can't find it. Change the type of connection from UMTS to GPRS/GSM, there's a setting _somewhere_. If you do that, you will only get GPRS connectivity. Try calling and getting data at the same time then, if it works, your provider is not really ready for 3G yet.
Interesting. I am with ATT and 3G seems to be full power in all locations I am using it in.
I cant find where / how to turn 3G off and only use GPRS.
I can tell you that I have tested 3G with internet sharing to my notebook over bluetooth. I was able to talk with a BT headset, and access the internet with the laptop thru the phone, all at the same time. When connected the phone shows "H" or "3G". This is with a Kaiser but I would expect the same from a Tilt. AT&T in Southern Calif. I installed "Schen's 10 button comm manager" and with it's 3G button I can hold off 3G, then the display shows "E" and no simul connections are possible.
You can only use voice and data with HSDPA. GPRS/Edge does not allow this, they use the same band for data as the voice band. If you see the "H" icon they you are picking up the extra data bands needed for this to work. I have tested this will streaming live tv to my phone from my media center via webguide. Even with the "3G" icon i was not able to stream video and talk at the same time, the video would pause while i was on the phone then resume connection when i hung up or the "H" icon appeared.
I can confirm that I'm seeing this bug. There is no 3g towers in my area. I'll be showing the edge icon and be talking and when i try to load a web page, Opera will complain that a data connection does not exist.

It's not a bug... GPRS/Edge is not capable of simultaneous voice/data. You will not be able to do both until 3G is available in your area (though this doesn't explain the OP's issue).
ok i'm using build 19700.dutty"s wm6.1. i have at&t. when i get 3g network internet won't work. nutthin will connect. i'm a lil new at this so don't flame me. but is there some settings that i have to change or wat. it sux cus i live in upstate ny and i have no problem there. but i work in nj closer to the city and i can't use the internet there. i wanna keep 6.1 cus it is def better. but that is my only issue. help
Does the internet work when you are on Edge? Or is your house also in a 3G service area, and the internet only doesn't work in good ol' NJ?
I my state (Oregon) it used to be that when I was In my home town, 3G and Edge would work great. But If I drove an Hour south to the State Capitol Neither would work.
Then I ungraded to the latest ROM and I've been removing the Proxy. Everything seems to work ok now.

Continuing this train of thought...
Did the internet work in NJ before upgrading to WM 6.1? AT&T has this nasty habit of using several different frequencies for it's 3G network, and a 6.1 radio might have issues with the frequency running in NJ.
yea internet worked before i upgraded. and there is no 3g where i live so i think it has to do with that. i'm not sure but i haven't been able to figure it out i would hate to downgrade but so far it looks like i'm gonna have to if i can't figure this out
Do you configure your AT&T settings manually, or using HTC connection setup?
I have the same problem. When i got a 3G the internet connection drops. But i can make video calls.
i'm having a problem with the band not switch when its low on signal. for example i will get the H and when it drops down to 1 or no bars it doesn't switch to E. also some times when the reception is around 2 or 1 and its on H, i would drop calls or can't call out at all. for some reason i've noticed that the reception issue happenes a lot and i would have to change the band to GSM and 850, 1900, then it would stay on E.
anyone has this problem or know a fix?

I was about to suggest you flash a different radio, but then I noticed that you're on AT&T. It's just your network being crap.
I believe the network sets the rules on handing your cellphone signal over to another tower. Only thing you can do is tell your phone to force EDGE or HSPA.
yea when ever i have no signal i have to force it and the best i can get is edge. but this wasn't an issue before? could it be a hardware issue?
Depends on carrier too. I have such issues sometimes.
But X1 also tries to keep 3G/HSDPA as much as possible...
YEAH I BEEN GETTING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH MY XPERIA, I HATE IT BECAUSE IT IS LIKE IM BEING LIMITED OFF GOOD RECEPTION SIGNAL. SOMETIMES I CANT MAKE CALLS AT ALL. cOULD AT&T BE DOING THIS TO ALL CELLPHONES LIKE MY X1, SINCE THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME 30 DOLLARS A MONTH FOR UNLIMITED INTERNET,SO I COULD GET 3G SPEED, SOMETHING I DIDNT HAVE BEFORE, BUT I STAYED WITH MY REGULAR INTERNET SPEED, AND NOW I EVEN GET FASTER INTERNET SPEED THAN MY BROTHERS AT&T HTC fUZE 3G PHONE.
Well just a FYI, but AT&Ts network isn't the great in San Franciso anyway.
With Verizon I started to have drops in signal all together and rarely could connect to 4g. I went and activated a sprint account and it first things seemed fixed. Now 24 hours later my phone will not connect to 4g even though signal monitors show a LTE connection, I have to force a 3g connection to have internet. This is happening in areas with great 4g coverage for both providers. Would you consider this a defective phone? Has anyone else experienced these issues? Any help would be great both Verizon and sprint seem to be at a lost about what's causing this.
