My phone will not use 4G (HSPA+ or 3G) at my work indoors and favours 2G. My HTC Sensation could be made to use 3G by cycling the radio off/on - but this HTC One is not able to get any 3G plus. I assume this is not a ROM issue as it behaved exactly the same on the original US T-mobile ROM build. Just outside the building (and always at home) I get 4G (not LTE but T-mobile HSPA) speeds (slow here at around 4-6Mbps).
I know that settings can be changed to make the radio favour 3g/4G etc (even if a poor signal) but can anyone help here. I can sit the HTC One right next to the Sensation and the Sensation will show 3G with 1-2 bars and the One will show 4-5 bars with 2G! (and very poor data rates on the HTC One as you'd expect).
I am on a US T-Mobile model on 10.1 ROM with new radio (4A.16.3250.24_10.38.1150.03.zip) - VERY impressed.

Hey Mate,
I was also facing same kind of wiered issue, I am on Developer edition and In India and initially Was not not able to connect to any 2G network. I tried everything from Custom ROM to STOCK ROM, Radio, SIM card change, orperator change etc.... but mothing worked. I was only able to connect to 3G networks.
Today finally I S-OFF'ed my ONE and after that it's connecting to 2G and 3G both networks. I think there is something related with security.
Try to S-OFF !!

Thanks - but I can get 3G and 2G signals now. It is just that the phone seems to significantly favour the stronger 2G (more stable) connection even though a low signal strength 3G connection can be achieved (as shown on my Sensation). I do not want to try S-off just yet as that should really only allow the changing of H-boot and radio firmware etc. I have never read anything that indicates that S-Off can improve a given (un-changed) radio. It is this method I want to try first - I am already on the .24 radio but that made no changes.
I do know that it is possible to access a hidden (HTC Engineer?) radio menu by typing a series of numbers and hash (#) symbols into the phone dialler - that reveals a menu in which (I believe) you can change the priority of network selection.
It could, of course, just be that the HTC sensation radio hardware is better than the HTC One - I hope not.

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.
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.
Hi
I am using HTC touch diamond on three network. I don't get signals more than 1 one bar everywhere but if i try another operator's sim signals are fine I have got Sony Ericsson k800i with three sim it give full signal no problem my current radio on my device is v1.09.25.23
I live in Lancashire UK
thanks in advance
You may want to try installing one of the later Radio ROMs available for download and see if if makes a difference.
im with ya on that pretty much the same and calls drop a lot in the house
im using radio in my sig if thats helps, my gps works super fast tho so dont understand
i think its a network rather than a phone and yes i tried different radio from different devices aswell with same results. But this is weird if I use the same sim on any other phone than diamond i get full signals even on omnia.

Hi. I use a Diamond on the Three network, but I'm in Sussex. I'm using the latest HTC ROM build 2.03 and latest radio 1.11... At home I only get one bar - bit of a dead spot, but at work I get the full signal strength... So, likely to be poor coverage in your area (likely if works okay with a different providers SIM).
I'm actually contemplating a move to T-Mobile 3G at the moment because although I like Three, the 3G network is a bit patchy round here in places....
Hi
I have a strange problem with my Incredible S, seems impossible to browse or make any data connection using EDGE. One of the arrows near E symbol (upload) activated regularly when needed by data connection but the other one (download) is always gray inactive. The browser remains stalled for some time but at the end the standard "no internet connection" page appear. In some cases the connection, after the stall period, switch automatically to GPRS which function normally. The phone operates perfectly on 3G as on GPRS but never on EDGE. I tried from hard reset to the latest firmware update but the situation remains the same. After my last update using "RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.30.405.1_Radio_20.2808.30.085AU_3805.06.03.03_M_release_199308_sign ed" I actually have radio 20.2808.30.085AU_3805.06.03.03_M.
I'm unable to change my situation and haven't found anyone else with the same problem (someone is having problems with EDGE but only on roaming, but I have problems on my home network??).
1) which country and carrier you are using your Incredible s?
2) which model you have? s710e or S710a?

s710e.
Country: Albania
Carrier: Vodafone - 3G ok, GRPS ok, EDGE no.
Carrier: Albanian Mobile Comunications - GPRS ok, EDGE no.
Carrier: Eagle Mobile - GPRS ok, EDGE no.
I tried all these operator using approprite SIM cards.
Also tried a SIM card of Vodafone UK, but the result is the same.
I actually didn't think it was possible to use internet when you signal is EDGE.
Data up arrow and no down arrow, along with stalled internet happens at least 50% of the time on gprs and edge for me whenever the signal is less than 4 bars, but no problem on 3g or WiFi. I have heard other people report the same issue. I have been through all radios, but none of them fix this issue. I'm with UK Vodafone.

yes, I have been in such situations before, but at the end the connection was made. with incredible s there is no edge connection. I have tested with my other phone (HTC sensation) on the same table, on the same time, activating only gprs/edge without success on Inc s, but normally on sensation.
no way ...!!!
hello every body
i have this problem with my nexus one when i am connected to 3g service (umts,hsdpa,Etc'). i can't make calls or receive any calls, i can't use the internet (data) or get sms and Etc'. but i have full bars reception. when i check the vi in setting to "use only 2g" the phone work great.
i tried everything downgrade/upgrade roms,radios. i tried to go back to my first backup and even do PASSIMG but nothing help i googled it every where but nothing
please some one can help???
without 3g the smartphone is useless
thanks,
shushkis
What network you on? I would at least see how old the sim card is.
Lots of time if you have an older sim card it just can't handle a newer system.
I am connected through Orange IL
and i tried switching sims even with other networks.
and more the phone worked fine at the beginning it just happened i remember i switch to one of CY roms and it happened
Have you tried a full wipe and reinstall the rom?
yes of course i tried customized roms and stock roms but nothing helped
I would check your apn settings...
apn connected to taking or getting calls?
i thought it's just for internet connection
Its just a guess.
If its a problem on multiple ROMs, its likely to be either hardware or settings. Settings are cheaper and easier to test, and that's the only setting I can think of...?
Of course, doing a full wipe (including system), installing a new ROM, and testing before you restore any apps and settings may be another way to test, but since the apn settings are pre-baked into most ROMs, it wouldn't rule our the apn...?
OK I tried to put apn settings and it didnt help
you say hardware?
but when I check in settings "use only 2g" the transceiver works great .
maybe the nexus have two transceiver one for 2g and one for 3g?
seems un-logical
No there are two radios one for 3g and one for 2g because 2g is for calls and 3g for data but when 3G is unavailable the phone will use the 2g for the data.
The Same Trouble
shushkis,
I have the same trouble, my 3G connection works so bad, but if I use only 2g connection, all works good... I have no idea what happend with my N1. I have a N1 for 3G 850 (AT&T) model.
Thanks for advantage.
So maybe the problem is the hardware? if the N1 have two inidvidul transcivers?
I have also the same problem. I've tried many different roms and radios. I use 900/2100 3G. What's strang is that 3G works perfectly at home, but when moving to another tower I get emergency calls only warning. 2g works fine.
I just started having 3G issues at home. With 3G on the phone reboots like once an hour, but on 2G I've gone days without a reboot. My 3G signal is not the best at home, but I don't know why that would make the phone reboot. I'm on T-Mo USA.

The one I'm using is only a couple months old, and it works well in my Desire HD, and my Moto Defy. It's only the N1, but I guess maybe it could be that. I'll look into more.
If it's only a few months old, then it may nor be the SIM that is the problem. I suggested it because a number of T-Mo users were having similar problems after a recent network upgrade, and a new SIM seems to fix the issue for most...
