I keep getting really bad signal on my phone. 3g keeps dropping out then it goes to EDGE then that randomly drops out.
Any help would be much appreciated

I'm using nikhil's we want ics Rom. With the newest radio. Phone is about a year old. I'm in Australia on Telstra network and reception is terrible most of time. I have compared phone to stock ones and there seems to be something going wrong with mine as others get better service and stays in 3g.

You are on telstra with the incredible s.
The Inc S supports 3g frequencies of 900/2100mhz
Optus has these 3g frequences, which is why we dont have many problems
Telstra has mainly 3g 850mhz and some 2100mhz. Your phone can only get 2100mhz, that is why you have no 3g most of the time.

Basically you are using a optus optimised phone on the telstra network.

Best answer ever, cheers mate.
So I'm guessing if I was to get a 4g compatible handset it would have fast internet yes?

Is it possible to add support for other frequencies for better coverage?
Any radios or something?

No, this is purely hardware.

I have a unlocked rooted nexus one and currently using T-Mobile..was thinking of switching to at&t due to service n area . was wondering if there is any rom or radio I can download to use att 3g or is it a hardware problem
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
If you have the T-Mobile 3G version, then there's nothing you can do to get At&t 3G other than trying to trade it for an At&t 3G version. Its in the antenna hardware, so it doesn't matter what radio firmware you try to flash to it.
Thank u man

Hi - is there a t-mobile wifi calling app in any rom for this phone for U.S. users?
Thanks!
Why would you want to use T-Mobile in the incredible S? You would only get 2G EDGE/GSM speeds.
As for Wi-Fi calling, I think it needs one made for the phone stock. In other words, you can't rip it from another phone.

The Incredible S has the frequencies for T-Mobile 4G. I've gotten up to 10Mbps on it.
Android Revolution and Virtious Unity Roms claim to have it on every update but it nevers work. When you ask in the threads about T Mobile wifi calling the devs never have an answer. I assume none of the devs have T Mobile USA.

Have any of you guys ever got LTE signal on your raiders?
Ive had this phone for 3 months and i still havent ever seen the LTE symbol next to the reception bar...just 4G at most.
I live in Markham and the rogers map says its LTE covered but still..
Before I switched to chatr I definitely was able to use LTE. Mega fast, too! Faster than my bell fibe home internet lol.. I'm wondering if u have an LTE sim or not..? Did you get the sim new with the raider or was it from another phone?

You also need an LTE-ready plan, i.e., not all their data plans are LTE capable.

I got a new sim when I got my evo3d..didn't get a new one with my raider.
I also have a 6 gb data plan
Is that not LTE ready?
Don't think that 6GB plan is LTE ready. They have specific data plans for LTE
Ya u need to be provisioned for LTE

I'm on Bell with my Raider and I get LTE signal in strange areas. The coverage maps lie, Bell or Rogers. I work on the east end of downtown (Regent Park area) and sometimes I get LTE signal but most of the time it's HSPDA+. The LTE speeds are nuts but it drains battery much faster.
I live in Markham and I've never gotten LTE signal anywhere north of the 401.
All Bell plans are eligible for LTE speeds but you need to have an LTE sim.
I have a Rogers Dream running froyomelt.Currently using it on VIVA in Bahrain.For some reason I cant get the 3g to work and i keep getting EDGE for data.I think the network operates at 2100 Mhz.Any hints if i can get my 3g working?there something about the Motorola defy baseband switcher but i am not sure if that is meant for my phone.Thanks
You can try switching radios but I know rogers g1s don't get as good of internet as tmobile branded ones

Hi does anyone know of a flashable modem for the HTC one to improve HSDPA coverage, my phone is unlocked and mainly used overseas and my carrier supports the 1900/2100 MHz bands but so far I'm only getting edge

Either you're in the wrong forum or its because you own a CDMA phone
The Sprint HTC One is both CDMA & GSM

As far as I've ever head the GSM is limited to the edge network, which leads back to my previous point.
