Hi. Newbie in this forum. Bought an htc tytn from u.s. but am from Phil using smart carrier with gsm band at 1800. after going thru sev topics, properly identified device as Herm200 rom:1.18.255.3 07/22/06 extrom:1.18.255.106 radio1.03.03.10 protocol32.34.7010.01H.
All phone features working perfectly except for 3G. Smart carrier people cannot help. What could be wrong. Vendor says 3g works on 2100 band. Confusing statement. What can be done? Connects to umts but when video call is pressed will not connect.
Which carrier are you on again? Smart Carrier? .. From what I know no carriers in the US support video calling .. Also, Cingular is the only GSM carrier in the US with 3G which runs on the 1900Mhz band ..
also .. what does your phone display while connected "G" or "U" ... what are your phone band settings .. can you also goto dslreports.com/mspeed and see what speeds are you getting ..
According to GSM world SMART (a Philippine operator) uses UMTS 2100, which your TyTN does definitely support.
Have you checked if your SIM card is 3G-enabled? Most 3G networks require special USIMs for 3G usage.
I just learned, that Cingular uses UMTS 850 and 1900 to be exact. According to the American HTC website the Cingular 8525 supports "Tri-band UMTS/HSDPA high speed wireless data network support (2100MHz and 850/1900 MHz), Quad-band GSM®/GPRS/EDGE worldphone".
Does anyone know if there is a special hardware version, that supports UMTS850 & 1900 or will my European TyTN work on those networks, too?
TyTN is tri-band UMTS .. 850/1900/2100 .. so it should work on these networks without any issues ...
And my bad .. didnt realize that you are trying to use the TyTN in Phillipines ..
You should also check, if the called party has a 3G signal, while you call him. Further make sure video calls are activated by your network operator.
3g problems in the philippines
Everything you guys mentioned in order(am in a 3g area calling a 3g enabled party with a 3g sim card). Even the tech staff behind Smart Communications cannot make it work. Displays U and u. But video call cannot push thru even if pic on front camera shows. There is 1 thin line( or command?) stopping it from connecting. My last option is to borrow my friend's unit and see if her unit's 3g works here then it's my device that's a problem. Thnks for the input. Keep it coming.

Hi. I don't know how they did it but Smart Communications did it! Apparently and ironically their 3g sim card is not compatible with the htc tytn but their regular sim is. Thanks all.
are u using 3G now in Phil ?
Is there a Globe perpaid 3G simcard ?
3g problems no more
Hi everyone. After my first thread i have finally got everything on my tytn working: 3g, mms, internet, phone. The problem was on the settings. Smart and Globe, the primary carriers in the Philippines can both work on the phone if the settings are right.
sectorlord,
yes there is 3g and hsdpa along with gsm and gprs and wap in the philippines. and yes you can buy globe prepaid 3g sim card.
glad to hear you've got your problems solved jjc!
i jus't installed a new firmware from tabi13 in my elf, and everything is working fine, but the network detection seems to do an automatic detection of the settings from my provider (Orange Dominicana) and put some t-mobile settings
i just wanted to publish this information for any ROM builder if it can be changed in future releases, or for reference for other people.
Settings for Dominican Republic:
1
Orange Dominicana
Network Name: ORANGE
Network Number: 37001
APN: orangenet.com.do
no autenticantion or any other setting
1900 Mhz GSM/ 900 Mhz 3g

Viva
Network Name: VIVA
Network Number: 37004 (Thanks Ajape for the confirmation)
APN: edge.viva.com.do
not sure about auth. I Believe is user and password 'viva' without the '
1900Mhz GSM
if anybody knows anything else, please post.if possible, for ROM cookers, update the auto detection settings in future releases (i don't know if it is possible or how)
Operator settings
There's one elfin ROM with the correct automatic settings for Dominican Republic it's and Opal based rom, not sure it's available for elf, I did notice the same problem with over 20 different roms for different models from wizards to tilts. can not recall the chef, on that particular ROM but it's there.
That's funny
The Onyx ROM which can be used in the ELF, mostly ELFin, but has run well in your model has correct Network Settings. I have personally flashed them for Orange as well, and it works properly. It is a ROM based from the updated ELFin ROM found in HTCs site.
Paul
Gracias for the information saved me allot of time.
Creo que viva es 37004.
Confirmed, 37004 is for Viva, although is registered still as CENTENNIAL DOMINICANA. 37003 is for TRICOM DOMINICANA.
Does anyone have the EDGE configuration for either ORANGE Dominicana or VIVA?
I´m using an HTC Kaiser, and would really appreciate them.
Edge
Just read the first line of this thread, it´s all listed there!
Thanks. My G1 didn't want to pick up my settings and this worked like a charm. I came to DR for vacation and was struggling trying to get my inet working.

Hi
I have a milestone a853 and i'd like to know if there a way to make it work on 3G
thats because i it only connect to edge thats in Santo Domingo
Orange dominicana is 900/1900 Mhz on 3G, don't confuse GSM with 3G frequencies, it's not the same thing.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
I cant get any of my phones to work on 3g yet over the orange dominicana network! I have mytouch 4g and an atrix 4g... None if them get the 3g connection (mt4g is 900 3g and atrix 850) . Any ideas?
I will second (or third) the requests made above....
I was also in D.R. recently with my Tmobile Vibrant and couldn't get EDGE data connectivity with Claro to save my life. I went f***ng nuts trying everything. I had researched my phone capabilities ahead of time and found the following:
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
HSDPA 1700 / 1900 / 2100
From the posts listed above, Claro has 2G @ 1900Mhz. When I checked Wikipedia prior to my trip, it shows:
Claro Dominicana
CDMA 1xEV-DO in 800/1900 MHz
GSM/GPRS/EDGE in 850/1900 MHz
UMTS/HSDPA service in the 850 MHz band
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?
Is there some kind of trick to get 2G data working? I am at a loss...I should have had 2G data (I knew I wasn't getting 3G), instead I was all sorts of lost without Google Maps. For the record...paper maps suck!
Someone PLEASE shed light on this situation. I am going back soon, I need data on my phone!
T-mo's 3G bands are not compatible with Orange 3G. The Atrix is not compatible either, however, theoretically you can use the Atrix with Claro's 3G since Att and Claro's 3G bands are compatible. I haven't tried this yet.

Hello,
i've got a Germany Topaz with an original O2 Rom (6.5), and am currently in New York. I've inserted an ATT sim card, and the topaz came up asking whether it should install the ATT settings, which it then did.
I'm able to get a connection fine, but only with Edge, not 3G. The whole greater Manhattan area is 3G covered, so i should be getting a faster connection.
I'm wondering whether there is something i need to do to activate 3G? Anyone have any ideas why i can't get a 3G connection?
thanks.
Doesn't O2 Germany use 900MHz UMTS, not 850MHz & 1900MHz as AT&T? So your Topaz is likely not an 850MHz (& 1900 MHz) UMTS model - will be able to use only GSM.
Ok, thanks for that. But i thought the Topaz has the same frequencies as the Germany Kaiser, and i used that 2 years ago in California, with ATT, and had 3G almost always. Strange.
You are aware that there is a variety of models/frequencies specific to local markets?
What is the model shown under the battery: eg TOPA110 T5362?
Then do a search for that model and compare with the (UMTS/HSDPA, not GSM) specs for AT&T Pure:
eg http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2353835,00.asp

Have you checked in your settings? Is "always use 2G" unchecked?

Yes i've tried everything on this phone and still not working, i uncheked the option "Always use 2G network" and still i got the same problem.
Was that phone meant to be used with Orange? If it was not it could be possible that it's the same thing as when you use a T-Mobile phone on at&t or vise versa; you can’t connect to 3G because both companies have different frequencies.

OK I know that there's diference between those 2 companies T-Mobile and Orange Dominicana but the specification of the cellphone are:
General 2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 900 / 1700 / 2100
and the network frequency that Orange has for 3G HSDPA is 900MHZ and the cell phone should be up and running with the 3G maybe the T-Mobile has another frequency about its 3G network but this cellphone supports also 900MHZ HSDPA that is my frequency here in DR., so there's nothing to fix this problem??

Hey guys,

Had the phone on the whole day...and i got a sms from t mobile. but i never saw signal bars. only this one sms from the "US SIM", nuthin more.
can anyone help?

T-Mobile USA doesn't use the same bands/frequencies as other GSM providers. To use your phone in the USA, you should use AT&T.

It won't work on 3G, but still should on the 2G GSM network.
Milestone 2 data in USA
I got my A953 (UK) to send texts and make telephone calls on T-Mobile USA, but had a lot of difficulty getting any data to work - not even 2G.
I thought the Milestone 2 supports 3G on 900 and 2100 MHz, and T-Mobile USA uses 1700 and 2100 MHz - doesn't this mean the Milestone 2 should be able to access 3G data on the 2100 MHz frequency?
