Hello i need to know if im supposed to have full 3g speed using my rogers dream on telus network. It is rooter and simunlocked and i use vannon rom. My 3g speed is at 500 kbps max and most of the time its lower . i test it using speedtest.net application.
thx fos your help!
What to you mean you're 'supposed' to get 'full' 3g speed? I think you're referring to Tmobile G1s not getting 3G for Rogers and Telus bands, so yes, you're getting 3G.
The 3G speed you get depends on a large number of factors including location, it is not the same everywhere. Unless there's a fault with your phone (highly unlikely) there's no reason why the speed you get will be less than what everyone else gets. Maybe Telus has a ****ty network?
i whas wondering if it can be a firmware or hardware trouble i whas talking about rogers dream not t-mobile i know they dont work. its just that my 3g speed is very very bad .
Most carriers have crappy speeds, it's highly unlikely that your phone is the issue.

In the past HTC disabled 3G support on the S710 and S730 for use in the US because no US carrier 'supported' this phone. So although both were decent phones we couldn't use them at EDGE speeds.
Does anyone know if the Touch Diamond quad-band model works at 3G speeds with the US AT&T network?
Thanks!
Bill
Oh yes, beautifully.. Better yet, the Diamond is able to use HSDPA with AT&T, which is faster than 3G, as alleged as 3.5G
Mine is working too!
Didn't work at first but I woke up this morning and the E turned into an H.
Thanks for the feedback!!
I bought the unlocked US version from Best Buy, they matched web price, and I had the phone up and running on AT&T very quickly. There is an auto setup for AT&T users. Solid performance, H in my area, auto changes elsewhere.
It can beat my home dsl speeds while tethering when I am on the road. That rocks pretty hard imo. Just be aware that the euro version of the diamond which can be found on the internet and in the used market cannot be flashed to light up the US 3G freqs, it really is a hardware issue.
Does anyone know if this will also work with T-Mobiles 3G network or is the frequency on this phone not capable? I want to check before I bite the bullet on picking one up. Thanks!
Unfortunatly, it won't due to different bandwidth. AT&T uses UMTS 850/1900, whereas T-Mobile uses 1700. More details can be found in "US 3G First Look" in this thread.
Hi everyone--
I have an unmodded, "unlocked" at&t tilt that has a t-mobile gsm sim chip in it. I'm still running the WM6 that came in it, and can't seem to get access to the 3G speeds I know this thing is capable of. I've tried numerous software apps to "force" the phone to go 3G, to no avail. T-Mobile customer "support"--HAA! tells me I need a t-mobile phone to be able to take advantage of the 3G speeds. Needles to say, I feel this is a bunch of malarkey. T-Mobile put out this phone, did they not, and called it the "MDA Vario III"? Is there a rom for the mda that I could flash this thing with so I could get the 3G speeds? Or another rom perhaps? Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks!

Unfortunately, the malarkey is the truth! Because T-Mobile runs its 3G network on a different band than the Tilt is capable of! Sorry, this also effects me as I am a T-Mobile customer using a Tilt as well! My advice is to use Opera mini 4.2 for your internet browsing it is very fast on the Edge network!
The T-Mobile you refer to is European
It does not run on the same 3G as the US T-Mobile. The US T-Mobile uses 1700 Mhz and 2100 Mhz, I believe. The Tilt does not use the 1700 Mhz band. There was a rumor going around that there would be a new version of the Kaiser (KAIS140) that would use the US T-Mobile 3G bands but it was never released for sale. I don't think it will since it is pretty much at the end of the life cycle of the phone. They (HTC) have moved on to newer models with more features. If you would like to use the US 3G and live in an area with 3G, The T-Mobile G1 (HTC Dream) uses T-Mo 3G and has its own section on this forum.
bleh. newer models should still freaking tilt. that is the coolest thing about this phone. and it's pretty solid construction. my friend has had his over a year and its still going strong.

I thought the Tilt accessed 3G through it's tri band frequencies 850/1900/2100Mhz so that it could connect to most 3G networks worldwide, making it a world business tool for users?

True but T-Mobile uses the 1700 for upload and 2100 for download. ATT uses 1900 for both.
I have T-mobile and just today i ordered a Rogers HTC Magic from Ebay, However after doing some more research i read i wont be able to use 3g With tmobile but rather on edge.... Im really mad at the moment and guess i will have to resell the phone....
but can anyone comfirm this??? and also is there any HTC Magic that runs on Tmobile 3g frequencies that has the 288MB Ram as well.....
I'm in the opposite scenario. I have an ADP1 that's only on T-Mobile's 3G frequencies, but I'm on Rogers. I don't think the ADP1 has 288MB of RAM though, so it's as fast as a standard Dream. Although it has a kickass battery cover.
Maybe we should trade, haha. Edge hurts.
i'm in the same situation i'm on Rogers with a T-Mobile G1 and cant access 3G only 2G.
I just wanted to confirm this is a hardware differnce correct?
Theres no way around this like changing the rom or software on the phone so resolve the issue?
I know this thread is old, but there's no answer to this yet...
Is it possible to install the Rogers Dream radio on a T-Mobile G1 to use the Rogers 3G speeds, or will I be stuck with EDGE speeds? Is there any other way this can be done?
Hey guys
I have a bell HTC raider that I am using on rogers.. currently running vjraider .. my data is incredibly slow cause i got like 7-8mb/s before and now after I flashed the from I can't get over 3 ..
Can someone point me in the right direction?? Thanks!!!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Are your APN settings correct? That's probably the main thing that you should verify.
Radios are not flashable yet AFAIK, so you can pretty much rule that out as a factor.
cool thanks so much for your help!! um quick question though... does not having/not having the H+ make a difference?? I only get H or 3G with this rom...
Yes, 3G/H is 12/14mbps H+ is 21mbps and LTE is 42mbps.
I would start with the APN settings, i have th Bell version too but i'm with Bell and have no issues and always get H+ (turned LTE off)
I remember reading a while back that the symbols may be misleading. They also may've patched it.. Only thing I can think of is just doing a speedtest. Sorry if I'm no help

If you are using a custom ROM , than the 3G/H may have different meaning. With Stock 3G ROM on bell 3G is slowest and I probably never used it for a while. H/H+ was 14mbps max but it normally maxed out and 6/7mbps and with LTE bell claims you can go upto 42 but I normally get data rates around 12/15mbps..
I agree that radio would not be the cause, it is going to APN settings or RIL (If you are on custom rom). I tried flashing my own RIL on a RunRaider ROM could not get it to work and so would probably have to wait for some one to make a flashable package for it. (Technically it should at the most only affect battery life and not data speed)
I never seen my phone on 3G it always H/H+ and i'm using stock. I never did a speedtest and could care less it seem more then enough for my needs.
I have had a galaxy s3 mini since release, imported it from Europe and notice that when the phone is using edge (E) it has very slow speeds from 50-150 kbps , if i put the sim card into a galaxy 1 speeds are around 1000kbps. When i put it in wcdma only the h speeds are fine.
Anyone use this phone in canada on rogers?
Is rogers able to limit speed on non rogers phones ?
Any ideas about flashign radio or anything?
Thank you!

Well i am neither in canada nor on rogers but my opinion is that;
They "could" limit your speed as they can identify your device, but to be honest i doubt they would do that, its not in their interest, its not as though it could have adverse effects on their network
EDGE speeds are typically quite low (around the speeds you stated) so i don't see a problem, just don't use EDGE if you don't have to

I suspect my galaxy is actually going into hsdpa 850mhz and my phone is missing 850mhz hsdpa and has 900 hsdpa which is causing the problem as its not accessing the 850 hsdpa. At home my wcdma coverage is not great.
I guess im going to have to see if I can change or enable my phone for 850 hsdpa.

I've tried to help others with the same problem, but unfortinatly without success. I'ts hardware based.
That's why there's also a i8190L, and for US a SCH-T599.
