hey guys
I just unlocked 8525 to use on T-Mobile network couple days ago.
I realized after unlocking, my 8525 only detect T-Mobile's GPRS signal so far.
isn't it supposed to detect the change of the available EDGE/GPRS?
my old 8125 detects T-Mobile's EDGE signal.
my question is how can I get T-Mobile's EDGE signal on my 8525.
Is there any additional settings to my 8525 so it could get the EDGE signal from T-Mobile?
Thanks guys.
You should be getting it 'E' automatically if it's in your area towers. Also, it could be your 8525 radio version or even your OS Rom (doesn't have the E icon). I get Edge all the time in the states....
Same Problem (FIX)
Hi, i just present the same problem on my 8525, after unlock and Super CID my 8525 just connect to G, no E or 3G (AT&T), i flash back to the original ROM (WM5) and then flash back to the Custom WM6.1 and is back, it works with the E (Edge) and 3G, it work for me on AT&T.

Hi,
I had AT&T send me a new 8525 because my vibrate feature stopped working. Out of the box I could only connect to a GPRS network, never did the E come up. My home is in an Edge area and it was doing this with the AT&T factory ROM. I upgraded to vG3ps hybrid rom and I checked to make sure the bands were on auto. I am at work at have a 3G connection and can connect to it. Can someone tell me why I cant get edge?
Thanks!
what radio rom and what os rom are you using?
did you try flashing the radio rom? maybe you are getting edge and just not seeing an edge icon. did you do a speed test?
Hello all, a quick question regarding FieldTest. My Softbank is stuck with radio 1.14 and it does not show the E icon when I force it into GSM only. EDGE reception has been verified because my dad's Prophet almost always displays the E icon. So my question is, since the radio ROM in my device is so old, does it no indicate that I have EDGE reception, or does not go into that mode at all? Here are some screen shots from Fieldtest; it shows some values in the EGPRS categories, does this mean the phone does switch to EDGE? any help would be most appreciated.
the icon has been problematic on certain phones with certain roms, but if edge is available in your area, then if you're getting gprs, you should be getting edge, since they are really the same thing. do a speed test next to the prophet and see
HI Everyone:
I just got my HTC P3650 Cruise and have problems connectiong to the regular Edge network with AT&T. I don't have 3G or HSDPA in the location that I'm at and it take a long time to search and lock in on the network. It is also very slow. I have a Tilt and it works perfect in Edge and 3G.
when I travel and go into a 3G/HSDPA area, the phone works like it is on broadband. I searches and receives the AT&T network instantly like my tilt and works without problems. It does not have a strong signal when it gets between buildings and inside concrete structures. My tilt has a lot better reception.
Is anyone having this same problem? Do you know of any setting that will correct this condition. I already changed the band setting from auto to specific for AT&T. It does not make a difference.
I have the HTC branded TyTn II. My problem is not exactly as yours but something similar. My TyTn II on an edge connection barely gets a download speed of 100 kbs. When I put the same SIM in my old HTC branded Touch I can occassionally peak at 200 kbs. So the edge speed on my TyTn II is usually half of what I can get on my Touch.
Obviously this is not an operator related problem as I am using the same SIM Card between the two devices. I don't have 3G in my country and the best is EDGE what I can get. Any suggestions or similar experiences would love to hear.
Edge Problems
I just flashed the radio 1.64.08.21 and it does not seem to make any difference on the network. I have not tried it in a 3G r HSPDA network yet.
Anyone else having problems connecting with the Polaris? When I change sims and putit into my tilt it works on all networks and flies. I don't know if AT&T is doing something to enhnace the phone on their network with all their applications. The only thing different is that I use a proxy server on the tilt.
is there a way i can make it connect to edge and not gprs because all gprs does is fails to connect because t-mobile only has edge is there something i can do or set?
EDIT: its a att 8525 unlocked for t-mobile with wm6.1
EDGE is a form of GPRS
When you see G instead of E as the connection icon, it just means that either
1 - your signal is terrible and falls back on G
2 - That the local T-Mobile antenna doesnt support E
3 - That something's wrong with your phone's reception (change ROM)
Do you ONLY get the G icon?
If you sometimes get E, then your problem is either #1 or #2
If you never get E, then it's definitively #3
if it's 3, and changing your ROM doesnt do anything, try a new SIM card.
Hi all. recently upgraded my vario to win mob 6 with a rom off here...XM6r5 to be exact. All runs fine except the problems i am having with the radio connection. I cannot change the band selection from auto to GSM. I think the phone thinks its 3G but i dont want that i need gprs only as the 3g signal round here is rubbish and as it is its hammering my battery life. When i try to change the band it says it cant be done right now please try later!!!?
I have manually selected O2 in the operator selection, i have the G symbol on the top bar, sometimes this becomes an E, i presume for Edge.
Anyone any ideas how i can solve this??
Thanks
the wizard can't handle 3g, so it wouldn't think its 3g.
the G is for GPRS, and the E is for Edge. this only means that connection is available, not actually connected.
So, to answer your question, you should try the autoconfig (network wizard)
