How to configure 3G?

Hi techies
I have recently brought a Cingular Connection with the data feature. The Data feature includes 3G service as well. However, I don't know how to configure 3G on my Imate-Jasjar. I have read at few places that there is some problem with the frequency bands in which 3G operates. So, just to add the info, I am living in washington in Redmond. Can anyone help me with this problem, How can I configure my Cingular 3G service on my Jasjar?
Thanks

As long as you have your phone settings on auto, it will automatically use 3g where it has a signal. The JasJar uses UMTS 2100, so I hope that's what is available in your area.

The Latest iMate Rom includes Operator CAB files.
You select your operation and it installs the settings for the selected operator in the Phone.
I have T-mobile NL. So by selecting it, it installed my acces point, MMS settings and GPRS Settings.
Other option is to go to the webside of your provider and find the options needed there.

I just checked the Cingular's website and found that Cingular has launched UMTS 1900 .
Is there any other way that I can get my jasjar work with UMTS 1900??
Thanks in advance

I'd like to know if anyone has 3g working on Cingular's network.
I don't think it can happen

HSDPA

OK, I know if I put *99# when using my phone as a modem I get GPRS.
How do I get it to use HSDPA please?

I've got an O2 XDA Atmos (HTC Wings) running the standard ROM, but with BT_DUN installed
When I use the "Internet Sharing" option, it uses HSDPA straight away, and I get the little H in the top right corner
When my TomTom 530 dials up, I only ever get GPRS.....

o2 3g on a Exec?

Hello all,
I have a XDA Exec, running windows 6.1, with a 3g sim and 10gig data plan from o2 in Ireland. My problem is I get nothing more than a few kb a sec. Normally 1-2kb/s. I've logged a call with o2 but expect nothing more that a response of "Its due to the area you are in" But I have tried it all over. In Dublin, Kilkenny, Waterford and a lot of other areas and its always old style GSM speeds. So has anyone got any ideas as to what it might be? Maybe a setting on the phone? Dont have an other 3g handset to try sadly. This is really needed as I have moved down to Kilkenny now and have no net other than what is on the phone.
Thanks

forgot to say, I am using radio 1.15 if that matters

ok, after a bit of searching, I am after setting the band to Auto under the phone settings. But still only GSM access speeds. I will be in waterford a little later and will try access the net there to see if there is a difference. Any other thoughts as to what it can be?

Hope this helps:
Go to Start/Settings/Connections
On your conection (Proxy settings) be sure that "This network connects to the Internet" is selected.
Go to Start/Settings/Personal and select "Band" and change "Select your Network Type" to WCDMA and then "Select your GSM/UMTS band" a GSM(1900+850)+UMTS(1900+850)
that´s it, next time you connect to internet, it has to connect to HSDPA (the connection icon should change to "H")

[Q] Italian Sim on a T-Mobile Tab No 3G

I have flashed my T-Mobile tab and asked T-Mobile for a Sim unlock code and now it works fine with any Sim. I can place calls with the dialer.
My problem is that in Italy, the tab connects to the internet only in Edge, it does not use the UMTS network.
By going to the mobile settings I do not have the "use only 2G" option.
I have GSM/WCDMA automatic on the settings. By typing the 4636 code on the dialer, it seems already well configured.
any solution?
thx

What is your provider? Because if it does not use the 2100mhz frequency for 3g (t-mobile) you will just not be able to ever connect on 3g, it's not a problem of configuration but a radio incompatibility.

In italy 3g is on 2100 and 900mhz. If i read it right T-Mobile uses 1700 and 2100mhz so it shouldn't be a big issue.
However unless you are using a TIM sim, forget about EDGE: GPRS only for all the other mobile operators!
Maybe there is poor 3g cover where you are at the moment? Wind is particularly low on the cover side.

My italian operator is wind.
the sim I am trying to use is wind.
I am located in Milan.
I also have an N1 bought in the US, when google released the TMobile version (with the 900/2100 band) and in Milan gets the 3G signal pretty well. As soon as I put the Sim in the Galaxy tab, the data connection goes in Edge even when I have full signal.
thank you

What is your apn setting -"profili" from your screen shot? You might have to write down the values when your sim card is in your other phone, then manually add them to your tab.

That is the setting access point names.
There is where I have set up the Apn for my Italian operator. Since I have my nexus one with the 3G connection working fine, I am using the very same settings. The Firmware version I am using is XXJK1.

I already tried this. By checking the dialer code 4636 i have a pretty similar setting as the nexus but still it does not connect using 3G. I am not very techie but I wonder if it could be something related with the modem file I used during the flashing procedure. The calls work fine though.

Try the Roto 3g modem.bin file. Flash in Odin in the Phone spot, leave all other settings alone.

Was this solved? I'm in the U.S. thinking about buying a tab, in Sweden we use 2100Mhz for 3G. Will it work and which one should I get, T-mobile or AT&T?

sorry for not replying before. in the various posts I found two files, i wonder which one is the correct one to use with the firmware I have on my tab (XXJK1).
I would like to be able to make calls and connect in 3g with my italian sim
Which file I use?:
PDA_JL5modem.tar (modem.bin)
or the :
JMA_ROTO-2G_modem.bin
thank you

Actually, I would use the bell i9000 modem from the Roto JME post when using a network compatible to at&t. That gets voice and 3g. I would use the Roto 3g modem for a network compatible to t-mobile to get 3g, but not voice.

I downloaded a modem.bin file from one of the posts after reading one of the Roto posts but unfortunately did not change anything at all.
Would you please link me the post where I can download this specific bell i9000 modem, that is also compatible with a at&t? I want to use the tab for phone calls and 3G, as in Italy we have no voice restrictions as in the US.
Thanks

Problem with 3G-2G

When is set to choose the network automatically very often don't call , I think he did not know to choose between 3g and 2g.
