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.

I am getting poor phone quality at my house. My house is in a very bad area for cell usage, however I was able to take calls with my Blackberry. With my 8525 I am getting 2 bars on the G meter, but people can not hear me.
I have the standard Cingular ROM and Radio running.
Any suggestions or fixes?
I have been reading and reading and think I may benefit from an upgrade, however, all the links to download DO NOT WORK, and I can not get access to the ftp site.
Help please!
Problem corrected by more reading. I loaded a band switch. My service was working fine on 2G.
hi, what is bandswitch?

hi
i think that my m3100 is not working so well with the radio anymore due to a few connections needing to be resoldered, at least thats what i am hoping, does anyone know of a guide to help me through it or any clues?
thanks all
Is the unit insured? Would that be an easier route to go down?
yeah but before i spend the £50 excess i wanted to see if i could do this as i have all the tools at my disposal at work so can do it, i just don't know what i am looking for

You sure the radio is actually physically damaged?

Good question, it would be a pretty unusual fault and I might suspect software first unless it's had a good battering!!

well i have tried flashing many types of radios, it has the latest bootloader 2.10, IPL 1.04 and many many different rom's and each 1 exhibits the same probem, the radio will fail when i move to a stronger signal area, or to 3g from gsm, or when i try to make a call. i only think its phyiscal as a few other people have said they get the same problems as me and find after opening it and "fixing" it it works once again.

What did they fix?? and how?? There is a known issue that causes the phone to drop calls when moving in and out of 3G areas. The phone tries to swap to the "band" with the strongest signal 2 or 3G. Frequently folk report that when this happens they lose the call. The workaround here is to turn of 3g and only use GSM band. This can be done in settings or by using a "band switcher" perhaps danielherrero's one.

After doing a Hard Flash for the first time from 1.43 to 148 and rebooting my HD2. Within several minutes my reception speed would change from 3G to GPRS and back again while on the go, this has never happen before and was wondering is there a way to have consistent 3G speed/reception or was there a fault during my flash?
Any suggestions or help would most helpful.
HD2 on T-Mobile UK.

Did you flash with SSPL / Gold card or with the HDSPL in-tacked?
EITHER WAY:
Press Phone Key>Options>GSM/UMTS Services:
Here select Band....then, "Get Settings"
The first tab should say GSM. Drop down menu option you want is WCDMA. This will force 3G all the time. However I don't recommend this setting as this will consume more battery.
Leaving it in 2G saves more battery and voice quality doesn't change....
hi,
maybe you flashed the radio part of the rom also, when you flash from 1.43 to 1.48?. im not sure, but you should check out this htc update, and try it. its a replacement for the radio portion of your rom only, and maybe fixing your problems. my singnal strengh has stoped to swing between full and no bars, and i have full bars most of the time, with this update.
regards mad.

Stock Roms include the Radio so if there was a change between one stock and the other then a change will occur...
There is nothing wrong with the radio band switching automatically though so unless you have bad reception, everything should be fine.

Are you on radio 2.07.50? I have noticed i mostly get "3G" as well, but when i get closer to the city center it turns into "H". I think reception is just really bad!

just stock radio. i have used with othere roms but can not seem to get h on this stock rom. i have seen others asking the sam ? so i thought is start a new thread.
Hey mates,
at the moment i'm in a corner of New Zealand ( :laugh: ) where i thought that there would be no data reception. I can make only phone calls. But Data is working i know that cause i used it on other places like Auckland. The interesting thing is following:
After some time (tyween ROM) my HD2 started making random restarts, so i decided to reflash my HD2 from the beginning. So if flashed back to the original Stock ROM to make a clean flash for the tytung ROM afterwards. Suddeny i had good 3g Data reception. Then i flashed the tytung ROM and again i had no data reception
So it seems there must be something with Anroid ?!
Any ideas or solutions? Anybody recognised the same
check teh apns, , i always have non working data when i install any android rom, , it seems teh defaults mess with each other. I have to delete all but two (one data one mms) and tweak the mms one to get full data/mms functionality. Ive never yet had an android rom that works out of the box for mms, and most dont work for data either (though some do, , but data only, they NEVER work for mms)
Just checked the APN settings, deleted them and configured them new as shown here under the point internet. But also before i deleted them they were correct.
It is still not working. It would also amaze me if this would help.
Cause as i said before. For example in Auckland or other cities i had no problem.
Also no in Germany. Now i am in a rural area. Never had any problems like this before.
Maybe i should try another Radio Rom??!

unlikely to help.
i came across this
The 2 Degrees network is new to New Zealand. To get national coverage, 2 Degrees have a roaming coverage with Vodafone, which means you use the 2 Degrees mobile towers in the main cities, and then your USB modem (or 2 Degrees phone) roams to Vodafone and uses the Vodafone network if there are no 2 Degrees towers in your area.
