hi,
as i'm not using the mda pro with t-mobile, i want to know what the software branding looks like? is it just a toolbar or is it deeply so it makes problems using other providers - for example with 3g and data prefs?
thx
mirko
My understanding is that the branding is only the phone itself.
All the settings are changeable to another network if you wish. To use 3g tho you have to have a 3g provider.
Hope that helps.

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
hey guys im using a jasjar with WM6 (and have tried with others) newest release and even all the WM5 releases. I have my 3G simcard from my shop now. I have configured the phone for GPRS/3G using
Add line: GPRS,3G

CINGULAR1
Works like a charm .... for GPRS my phone wont display 3G no matter what.
I live in NJ and tried multiple areas such as elizabeth and middlesex. I have also tried manhattan and still no go. I spoke to customer service and had them re provision everything and still NO!
Then some clown says that the only phones that go on the 3G network are firmware locked versions of cingular phones.
now i have 2 universal same issues one is jasjar on is Qtek9000 and i have seen other cingular USA customers on the forums using a universal and on 3g...
whats wrong? its not even letting me see it much less connect to it all i see is "G"
ok after much findings and a lot of searches the jasjar has 2100 while cingular is using 850/1900.
will cingular every use 2100 or is some mod to the radio rom possible? prob not but...
So can anyone advise if its possible to mod the radio rom to make the jasjar support 1900 UTMS?
or is this a hardware limitation?
if same hardware i don't see why it wouldn't be possible
i mean the phone does connect to 1900 for other services in USA why couldn't you hack the radio rom?
Same problem here. I can't understand why there is not a radio hack. What a waste of a good phone.

You might already be connected and you don't know. From what I know, the WM6 can't show the 3G icon, it always show G icon even when connected to 3G.
Have you read this thread and tried V2 of the 3G Icon? THREAD: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293375
Please let me know if it works on yours. I don't have 3G SIM, but I do have Cingular. Thanks.
You cannot simply do a "radio hack" as that would be like putting a Dodge engine in a Chevy vehicle its just not that simple. Or a square box in a circular hole.
Also I believe the main reason is due to Cing/T Mo have no ownership in the 2Ghz spectrum (Sprint does though). T Mobile will be using the 1700 area for their 3G service which is brilliant as we will not have to colliding networks around the same specturm. However this begs the question on what will happen with unlocked 3G phones in the future.

The question is since the universal has 1900 and 2100 band, is umts being pushed over the 2100 band via the os or radio rom or even a setting in the registry. Or is this a hardware setting only.

Just wanted to bump this up, in case anyone is still looking. I just got my Universal, and these settings still work for me. (December 2010)
Thanks for this bump, hope will be useful for someone
I want to use UMTS with my provider, o2 Germany! When I do a hardreset, I can see the 3G icon shortly, the device is searching again for a network and for now I can only use GPRS (EDGE isn't available for o2 in Germany )!
Do you have any idea what's my mistake?
BTW:
I have an USIM (UMTS enabled SIM card)!
Should work
I had the same issue after 3G worked for quite some time. I called the o2 support and they said umts was disabled for my account for an unknown reason. they disabled the block and voila, UMTS was there again.
It seems that the dual has a buggy 3G implementation which might incompatible with the o2 network to some extend but since then I was always able log in to 3G.
However, HSDPA (recently activated in my region) is a complete different story... My Dual connects via HSDPA and the occasionally freezes (do you encounter them?) get worse and drive me mad... Only disabling HSDPA makes the device usable. So... since I got the InternetPackM (200MB free) I'm so eagerly awaiting an update fixing this most annoying freezing issue.
Cheers,
jekk.
I'am using this Radio ROM http://www.4shared.com/file/38171399/87021e95/RUU_Nike_Radio_1582514_25693005P.html, it's running smooth and there is nothing changed except the touch.dll, and HTC Touch Dual German Shipping ROM with S600 touch.dll and it's working very nice. No Problems with UMTS!
@jekk:
That was it! My number wasn't enabled for UMTS, what a **** from o2! >.<

Hi I would like you to help me with my network settings.
I'm from Mexico city and I bought a HTC Blackstone few days ago. First of all let me tell you that in my country we don't have a provider for HTC phones, we just have some of them but the old ones. So I bough my Blackstone from a US online-store.
I did Hard SPL on my phone and installed Laurentius26 "L26_THDV5" ROM. After that I took some time to configure the network settings from my country and everything was ok. But my problem is that my Blackstone is not working on 3G mode, it's using EDGE. Actually I don't know how far the differences are, but I can feel that it's slower with Youtube or Internet than my previous phone (a Nokia N75). I don't know if I changed something with the new ROM or if there is some way to fix it and work on 3G mode because actually I'm paying that service with my provider (Telcel).
Please, could someone help me with it?
The Nokia N75 supports the 850MHz / 1900MHz 3G bands.
The HTC Touch HD supports the 900MHz / 2100MHz 3G bands.
Depending on your provider you will not have 3G at all.
are you sure ?
I've started a thread about this:

Hi,
Images true different apps via UMTS always are blurry and when I switch to a wifi connection all images looks fine.
Is there a setting or a switch that I can say “okay tab you are on UMTS but act like it’s on wifi” it’s me really sick that I am reading news topics with burry images.
I have a high speed UMTS subscription so it is not necessary that I am loading blurry images for mobile mode.

Rob

Maybe your cell provider is automatically reducing image-quality to lower bandwidth? My provider in the Netherlands did this, usually you can ask your provider to switch it off...
Hi,
Thanks for replay, which provider do you have I am also living in the Netherlands and have Vodafone.
regards,
Rob
Hi Morkman,
Also Vodafone but I might have remembered incorrectly. Maybe this was only possible on one of those USB-dongle data plans. It can't hurt to ask though...
Good luck.
I have the same issue in nl... turn off your proxy in the apn settings and you should be fine... t-mobile nl does this too...
Proxy is not used with vodafone.
When I put my sim into my mifi device that's act like a wifi router then it works oke because then I am connected with wifi.
Personal I think when a device see that traffic come from umts the compression is default.
