I was wondering, since the universal is the only other htc phone to do UMTS right now. Does the regular edge/gprs icon reg hack work? If not, has anyone figured a way for it to happen? Thanks.

urrm? the universal does it out of the box, no hack needed.... i get U for umts and G for gprs
But do you get an E for edge? On the wizard there is a registry hack to make the universal display a G for GPRS and an E for EDGE.

Quick question!
Not sure if anyone else has experienced this before or not BUT! I just got my MDA today and with any other phone I can connect to Cellular One DCS up north here but my MDA won't show Cellular One at all? Has it somehow lost 850mhz coverage? I'm lost on how this can be. Any ideas? Where I am has great 850 coverage too btw. Thanks!

Well, I have added spb pocketplus, backup and upgraded to the 2.26.10.2 rom from T-Mobile. Other than that, that's it. I'm going to backup my stuff though and then reinstall the rom. See if that helps. Otherwise I'm lost on this.
Yeah soo that did nothing.. :\ No clue what is going on. Maybe I'll call T-Mobile and see if they have any idea or get a replacement or something

have you tried just flashing the Radio ROM to something like the 2.19 or 2.61 to see if that does anything for you...

Alright will do and report back when I can thanks
Update: Good news is that it does work with 850 band. The reception is VERY poor though. I had an MDA before this and it was great inside my room but this one is very very poor in comparisson. Perhaps I will get an exchange.
Hi!
Is it any software, hacks or possible to make a program where user can force the device to use GPRS instead of EDGE on Windows Mobile ?
i think Communication Manager Pro can do that...

No it can't - only GSM/GPRS/EDGE vs UMTS/3G (I think)
Any reason you would want to do this?
Hi Knocksock!
Did you find a way to handle this?

A person is using a phone and software (well, it could be just a web-page) which connects to internet. He says GPRS is faster than EDGE due to bad signals when EDGE is used. Thats what they say, so I thought I should help out on this

No, I haven't Any ideas ?
Not really, I´ve been looking for it quite a while but I´m sure there must be a registry entry that links to the EDGE interface. My problem is that the device iPaq 6915 stopps data transfer when connected to EDGE.

Ok, seems to be almost the same problem then
I have a lot of problems with 3G switching on and off, and I have to boot to get connected again. Can I somehow switch it off, perhaps by editing registry? Have had several hard resets without any change. Edge is sufficient for me. I have an Artemis which is stable with Edge, but I had earlier on a couple of Nokias with the same problem.

You can switch off 3G in Settings/Phone/Band (don't know exactly how it is called, I have German menues) set it to GSM.
Cheers,
Derek.
If I do so, will Edge be active?
By the way. Viele danke

Yes, EDGE will be available without 3G. EDGE is an advanced 2G feature,
not 3G. You will see an EDGE connection with the white "E" in the top bar.

so i have an 8525 and it is run on tmo usa..... should I be getting an e for edge when i am in that area? I read somewhere I should get E for edge and a G for gprs when not in edge area..... If this is the case it seems I am always stuck on gprs... any fixes if thats how its supposed to work?
U should be getting E when on edge...could be your icon says G but U'r really on edge? Some Roms are missing the E. U can try this cab or another rom if u like...
well i had the icon in the rom.... I ended up upgrading the radio to 1.47 and now I have edge.... yea!!!!! apparently stock radio from att wasnt letting me have tmobile edge!!!
Good Catch! Glad u'r all set now...
Dont notice too much difference though.... maybe a tad faster
Hi,
I just got myself a Omnia 7 and since I live in area where 3G signal is very low, phone constantly searching for 3G and also keep switching from 3G to 2G.
Needless to say that kills battery life and also have influence on drop calls and call quality.
Anyway, I don't need 3G when I'm at home. I use wireless for internet and mail.
Funny thing, Omnia 7 doesn't have 3G switch like some other WP7 phones.
Is there any other solution to switch off 3G??
I tried MarketPlace and didn't found nothing!
Any registry tweak or something??
Maybe firmware with that option.
Hey,
If you go into settings->mobile network and scroll down you can turn off 3g with the slider
Geee... If only that exist on Omnia 7.
There is no such switch.
I tried Samsung tools
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=924497
That does show switch for 3G, but still does nothing.... 3G is still on.

Some ROMs have the switch enabled by default (i.e. the t-mobile ones) some others do not.
What you have mentioned is interesting. If the switch is not working for you then please mention your concerns in the "Samsungs Tools" post and the creator might be able to fix the issue.
This would also help other people in the future!
An alternative way to switch on 2g is to follow the method Niiceg suggested.
