Good evening to all,
I have a question for you: with this phone, if they are undercover 2G (the symbol "G" above), I can surf and receive calls at the same time? I realized that surfing or exchanging data with the network, however, if they are under cover 2G and I am called by someone, can not reach you .... The phone work correctly with undercover EDGE and 3G .... (But I have Vodafone Italy, which has no EDGE coverage ...)
Eventually, someone could kindly try setting "GSM only" and give it a try surfing while calling the terminal?
There would be grateful.
Sorry for my very bad english...
The 'G' symbol is not 2G.
I believe 2G is Edge... but I might be wrong there.

A friend of mine just purchased the Kaiser to be used on the at&t network. He lives in a 3G area in the USA and for some reason, his phone will not hold the 3G connection. It wants to switch to Edge. Is there a manual setting to stop this from happening or a new utility to enable/disable certain connection. Is this normal for 3G to do this. Any information I can pass on would be greatful.
Thanks
I think it's an indication that 2G is stronger than 3G in your area. My Kaiser always hold 3G connection all the time where I live. You can "manually" force 3G. Here is one the many ways to do it: on Windows Start menu, go to "Setting" then "Phone" (on the "Personal" tab), click "Band" tab, then use "WCDMA" for network type selection (default is "Auto")
Thanks for the help. I'll pass it on.
While the Kaiser is my first ppc type phone and I cannot claim to be expert I do think that this is a normal reaction of the phone to what networks are available.
I live in San Jose Ca. and must, perchance, move up and down the peninsula in the normal course of work and life.
I see my Kaiser switching from Edge to 3G to unnamed all up and down the peninsula. It is best for 3G in the cities and worse up in the hills -as one might expect. I also get the best 3G connections in the evenings and night vs. the daytime when, I assume, more 3G users are taking up bandwidth.
It is unfortunate that where I live is an Edge (during the daytime) area though I am paying for the 3G data plan.
3G issues with the TyTnII
Hello all:
I post on the AT&T HTC forumn and had this thread sent to me by another poster there.
I also have a TyTnII newly aquired from MobilePlanet on Weds. I am having the same issues with 3G. It briefly flashed the G icon on boot up then switches to Edge with all 5 bars. I've tried the manual mode fix, no luck. The wcdma gets no signal and the gsm goes back up to 5 bars same as auto.
Then theres the inability to register my serial # on HTC's EU site. Says SN is invalid... MP has had several reports of EU devices doing this.
I'm in the US, NorthEast NJ area. And in the middle of a known 3G area.
Bill
Can anyone help Bill out? How many of you CAN use 3G on the USA at&t network without a problem? He's trying to see if it's a setting issue or a phone issue. I'm not in a 3G area so I can't help him here.
Thanks

I get a 3g signal when I go into Philly (I live about 45 minutes outside the city) It holds it just fine as well. Is it possible you just have weak 3g coverage where you are? I actually shut off the 3g on my phone as I have no 3g coverage at work or at home and the 3g connection discharges the battery in a hury.
I'm on AT&T as well.
Oh - BTW - I also can't register my phone with the eClub either. I sent an Email to the HTC Webmaster but have not had any reply in 3 days. I'm not too confident in HTC's support.
Hi Guys
well did a search and couldn't find a topic about this, however if there is Sorry.
Anyways got my 02-Uk simplicity yesterday and set 3g and MMS up all fine, and was working fine, however today I came to work which is a bit out in the sticks so hard to get a 3g signal, and because of this i noticed I lost all signal.
after playing around I noticed that switiching it to "2g networks" i managed to get a full edge connection. My question is how come if it loses the 3g connection does it not revert back to a 2g network? I know there is a 2g connection beacuse if i do it manually it works. is there a way to do it automaticly?
also i do have data roaming connection active, and can post my APN details if anyone thinks that will help reslove the issue.
Thanks
matt
Brought mine in to t-mobile to ask the same question. they said just stick to 2g only when you're not in a known 3g area. They also recommended just turning data roaming off
I have the same problem with my Goophone Y6.
2 solutions I know:
1) Flightmode on/off
2) Reboot
This is very anoying, because the bug apperas again. One question: Do you lose signal when you turn your display off or after approximately 5 minutes?
I've been traveling for work lately and I'm frequently in areas where there is no AT&T 3G coverage. My phone will go to the EDGE network when it would be nice to have 3G. I've enabled the Data Roaming checkbox hoping this would fix it but it still stays on EDGE.
My question...Is there a way to force 3G roaming? In other words, make the phone search for 3G towers when its only getting EDGE...
Nevermind....I think I just found the answer.

hi everyone ,i'm a new user .
as title i make this question.i often connect to internet by 3g connection.i went to setting/mobile network then i set data connection: on,3g connection: on and my country APN.My Hd7 work well ,but only "use 3g connection when availale". it almost switch to 2g network
Anybody have ideas to solve it ?it really really necessary for me
Sorry for my bad English,hope you understand my problem
Go to the dialer. Type ##3282#. Go to settings, under 'Network Type', choose 3G only. If it's already on 3G only (I think it moves back and forth between 2G only and 3G only while on Automatic mode), change it to 2G only, then back to 3G only. This will keep it on 3G only.
thank you very much.i solved it
hello friends I have a t-mobile hd7 but I'm from Colombia, they know how I can make it work on 3G network here in Colombia because it only works on 2g
Let me make it simple.
I am from Brazil. I have a Galaxy S I9000 running stock Gingerbread.
I am a TIM user.
How it was:
I could access GPRS signal everywhere in my town.
Information under Settings --> About --> Network = TIM 3G+ 16 (area code) and GPRS
What happened:
I travelled to Amazon Florest. Extremely poor signal and no data connection whatsoever.
And then I got back to my town.
How it is now:
I can only access EDGE signal. Extremely poor data connection. And people saying that they could´t reach me on the phone.
Information under Settings --> About --> Network = TIM 3G+ 19 (not my area code) and EDGE
What I did to try fix it:
Reinstalled the firmware with re-partition ticked.
How is it now:
80% of the time I get EDGE signal.
People can talk to me now on the phone.
Information under Settings --> About --> Network TIM BRASIL (no area code) and EDGE (80% of the time) or GPRS (20% of the time)
What the hell is happening????
I want my phone working as it was before. 100% of the time with 3G connection.
What can I do?
Obs: My phone is set to use Only WCDMA.
Possible ask in the Brazil post on here .
jje
Yeah, but there they use the Brazilian version of Galaxy (I9000B) and mine is the International version. And I use Gingerbread. Brazilian version only got Froyo...
Any particular reason you are setting it to WCDMA only instead of auto?
In my town, as in most towns in Brazil, 3G towers are few.
So the cell is allways looking for the best reception and keep changing from GPRS to EDGE and vice versa.
If I set to WCDMA only, the cell keeps on the GPRS and the conection is way better (at least for me).
No one can help me?
Ok!
I helped myself. And I am no expert.
The problem was that when I traveled to Amazon Florest, my cell kept searching for the best reception. And somehow it automatcally activated all frequencies for WCDMA ranging from 850 to 2100.
And here in my town, TIM only uses 2100 for 3G.
Now I am back to where I was!!!
Thanks for me!
