hello im looking to get a cruise and was woundering if there is any or which WM6.1 pro do you all recommend for AT&T in the US...thanks in advanced...i have a tilt right now and always wanted to get the cruise...and just how good will it work on the AT&T 3G system...thanks again...
Cruise on AT&T
I have the Cruise on he AT&T and when it is on 3G everything works like clockwork. When it goes into the regular Edge network, it has a hard time connecting and takes forever to download or access the internet.
I am using 0.67 Bepe with 1.64.08.21 Radio. I have a Tilt and because it is optimized for AT&T, it works a lot better in Edge and 3G.
I have had no problem with the Cruise on ATT 3G. I actually have not had issues with device on Edge either. What I did notice was that 3G speeds differ from place to place in the states (also the icons shown were different).
On a sidenote I switched my phone to Edge and standing in the same room as my friend with an iPhone, we went to dslreports. Edge on my cruise was much faster than edge on his iphone, don't know why. with 3g turned on, it blew his *[email protected]% outta the water.

Hi all.
I hacked the registry as suggested to get two different icons when under Edge coverage opposed to standard GPRS but my S200 always shows the G icon, never the E icon. Since at the moment I am sitting at about 2 miles from the Vodafone UK headquarters in Newbury I really doubt they haven't got Edge in their hometown, so something must be wrong with my phone or this hack is not working.
Is there anyone who has used this registry edit successfully? If so can you please specify if you are using Vodafone in the UK?
Thanks.

Do Vodafone support Edge?
Orange do but it only tends to be where they don't have 3G.
And yes I get G and E where appropriate.
Well since the Vodafone phone catalogue mentions when a phone supports Edge I assume that their GSM network has Edge capabilities.... It could be that they have not deployed it where there is 3G coverage but it seems strange that I have never been in a Edge area while driving around south England....
Here in the Netherlands is it Telfort that support EDGE and is the only one.
Vodafone support GPRS and UMTS here.
I've do the registry hack this morning and it works! I get the E at the place there was before a G.
I've tested my device it works on EDGE or GPRS:
My girlfriend has an Ipaq and a Samsun D500 with T-Mobile GPRS (supports only GPRS); mine is many quicker! A knowledge has a T-Mobile MDA Vario (with GPRS) and last week we have tested mine Qtek S200 and his MDA VARIO and mine was quicker!
I don't think Vodafone support EDGE anywhere in the continent. They support 3G (UMTS) only as far as I know.
I edited my registry to show an EDGE Icon, too...
And I almost forgot about it, because in germany no operator seems to support EDGE anywhere..
But I was in France just a week ago and there it showed that EDGE Icon instead of the G...
But I didn't test Edge, because I had a feeling that it would be to expensive..
I wouln'd worry... EDGE seems to be a technology that won't come up very far... 3G will overrun it, I think.
i thought only orange support EDGE? Anyway, the ONLY time i have ever had the "e" icon appear is on about a 2 mile length of track on the train back and forth to work in london. i live in west kent? i did a speed test and got about 60kbit/sec as apposed to the usual 38(ish)kbit/sec
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.
Hi
Received my X1 on Vodafone on Saturday. Main issue I have had is that of poor reception. I was previously comparing it to my Tytn II which was on T-mobile. I have not put a P&G vodafone sim in the Tytn-2 for some further testing.
I can state that the reception on the X1 is much worse than that on the Tytn II. They both show 2 bars, but the X1 keeps dropping the signal, while the Tytn holds onto it. This generally occurs while trying to use the device rather than when its just sat there - it will ring, but then drop the call when I handle it. If I cup it in my hands, it will drop the signal. If I do the same to the Tytn II, it survives. My advise to people would be that this is only a phone suitable for those who enjoy 3 bars most of the time. Maybe it will be improved via a firmware update, who knows - maybe it works better on 1800MHz or 2100MHz 3G than it does on the 900MHz GSM used by vodafone - this I cant test cause the device is sim locked.
All I can say is that on the same network at the same location, the X1 is vastly inferior to the Tytn II.
Mine is going back - trouble is that was the only phone out there worth buying... I want 800x480, keyboard, HSDPA/HSUPA - touch pro does not cut it, nor does touch HD, and no carrier seems to have picked up either of these two as yet. Looked at the G1, but its a V1.0 OS and I cant be arsed with the inevitable updates...
Any news on a touch hd pro (i.e with keyboard?)

my network is t-moble and the reception is excellent so far
i use swisscom in switzerland and didn't have any trouble so far
Voda X1 is not simlocked
Hi
I never tried my old t-mobile sim in the X1 I got from Vodafone cause I thought it would be simlocked. Well, its not its sim free. On T-mob (1800MHz), the X1 does indeed hold onto a signal better.
That does not change the fact that compared to the Tytn II on 900MHz vodafone, the X1 wont hold the signal as well.

I've got 3 from sweden, and it drops the signal to!
When i'm at my girlfriends who also got 3 she got full signal and I got low-nothing.
I use Vodafone Network (UMTS/HSDPA) on 2100 MHz in Germany and it works really good.
The reception is quite the same compared to my TyTN, maybe the X1 is even slightly better, but definitely not worse for me.
I also have no issues with dropped calls and I use the HSDPA connection sometimes even with only 1-2 bars and it's very stable.
Reception quality is no problem for me though I had some strange audio issue (will report in a different thread).
i to got the same problems
bad reception in sweden both gsm and 3g with theese operators. telia 0-2 bars 5bars with my w595 and exactly the same resaults with comviq/tele2, tre and my current operator telenor, bytheway i got 6 phones up and running all the time but the X1 has by FAR the WORST reception ever, even my touch pro and diamond got much better reception.
hope there will be an radio update for my X1 SOON as it is by my meens the best smartphone ever made (exept reception and stylus) broke 4 stylus already (the plastic part at the top)
any1 else did this? with the stylus that is.

how did you manage do that?
yes I got the same poor reception problem here in UK
I am on O2 and I bought X1 as a sim free my other handset's shown least 3 bars on same network but on experia only 1 or 2 sometimes network not avaliable message appears also dropping the calls few times so my X1 has to go!
I've also moved across from Tmob to VF
The reception on my X1 was better than my advantage on tmob (I used the sim till my number switched over) pretty much everywhere, I struggled to get reception indoors at work on tmob previously but had 2 bars on G with the X1.
Conversely I'm now getting H signals at work with VF, but widely erratic Gprs coverage at home. Overall the VF coverage is nowhere near as good locally as Tmobs 3g.
I've lodged a complaint with VF as according to the coverage map I should be in the middle of a 3G cell, and this si what I was sold the contract on, about 50% of the time I get 2 bars of G at home, 50% nothing, and there doesn't seem to be any pattern to it, but like you the calls will get dropped seemingly randomly.
Last night I started getting a much more consistent signal at home, I'm not certain what's changed maybe they decided to look at the transmitter, but I'll monitor over the next few days.
I also get pretty crappy signal here in the U.S. with AT&T in Chicago. Just 2 bars on both HSDPA and EDGE. (850/1900mhz)
TYTN II and I-Mate 9502 get 4-5 bars...
This is with 3G turned on and off...
Hopefully, there will be an update soon..
For anyone with issues over UK coverage, you can check out what transmitters are where, and even send an email through to moan!
I've had responses in under 2 hours before.

I just got my HD2, haven't tried much yet.
One thing very much surprises me though.
I live in the LA area, where there is good 3G coverage. On my previous phone, the SE TM506, I always get 3G, never EDGE.
I looked forward to getting much faster 3G on the HD2, HSPDA (which the TM506 does not get). I've read about fast speeds here.
But instead, the connection icon always shows an E for EDGE. (Again, my TM506 never shows that. It always shows the 3G icon.)
I tested it too, by going to www.mobilespeedtest.com in the Opera browser. It showed 50 something kbps download speed, even slow for EDGE.
What is going on?
Is there something I need to enable in settings, to get 3G speed?
Might I have got a defective phone?
What's going on?
you didnt say whether it was a tmous phone ( i assume it is) and also what network you are trying it on?
Also, in comm manager, is 3g turned on? if you have flicked it off, you will only get gprs/edge
After few weeks of searching for the right answer in here and everywhere, I gave up,so I have to ask you guys what kind of the problem do you think I have!
So, first of all,I have the HD2 without the branding T-Mobile on the upper front, but after a soft reset I see the stick together pink logo, so I presume it is a T-Mobile device!
Then I have to say the ROM is not cooked, on Connections I have "Enable HSDPA/HSUPA" checked, on band and network, both of them are on Auto (I've play with both of them but no changes)..the 3G is enabled on Comm.Manager
My problem is I'm ALWAYS getting an Edge sign on signal strenght(South Rainbow Blvd or on the strip-for those who are living in Vegas),my internet speed is a little bit bellow bad(no matter what browser I'm using)all the programs that require a internet connection are also very slow,BUT, on mobilespeedcheck.com(or net?)I am getting something above 3G(Evdo/Hsdpa),getting sometimes speeds very close to Broadband.Maybe I should tell you that on T-Mobile data/sign coverage my home is listed as very good signal(dark red)...and my Radio is 2.10.50.26, ROM 2.13.531.1(90063).
Hoping I'll receive some advices from you guys I hope you'll all have a good day/night and thank you!
Sorry to break it to you...but you don't have a T-Mobile US device...you have an international HD2 with a T-Mobile USA stock ROM applied. You will NEVER get anything above EDGE using T-Mobile USA service with an international device, as the bands that they can use are different. The only way to get 3G in the US out of an international HD2 is to use it on AT&T.
Thank you, man!...But can you tell me why I'm getting those speeds over the mobile speed tests?....'cause that thing I don't understand...and do you know from your personal experience if AT&T internet is worth the sweat to move(like coverage, signal strenght....)
Thanks again for your time
