SPV M3100 UTMS Indicator

I am wondering if my M3100 is on a UTMS Network. It is displaying the 3g and the little 3g. I am pretty sure this means the UTMS network but I wanted to make sure. My Downloads do seem to be BLAZING here in Nashville.

It should have a U in a small white box in the top bar if it is on the UMTS network.

Hmmm...what website does everyone use for speed tests on their phones?

I am getting speeds of 550, with only a single bar. I really hate when people open their mouth and don't know what they are talking about.

In my defence in Australia when you are on the Telstra UMTS network (Next G) you do get a U. I know this because I am getting one and have used one extensively in the shop.

Correct but all providers customize their ROMs

I know that they customize their ROMs. All I was doing was trying to do was help a fellow member and if you want to flame me go right ahead.

remind me not to try to help slimsaturn with any issues he has. Although it does seem that he has issues that cannot be resolved on this board.
Try anger management.

In Europe all unbranded TyTN's ie Hermes 200 have a U when on a UMTS or Super UMTS network irrespective of the telecom service provider & I would think this would be the same worldwide unless you have a network branded device who have installed their own rom.

Guest69 and scip01 I completely agree with your comments and I to will not be helping slimsaturn again and I remember when I was reading reviews of the Tytn they did have a U and that is why I said it. Thanks for saying something it took some guts.

Just look here and you will see the U http://www.clubimate.com/t-DETAILS_JASJAM.aspx

My Tmobile Vario2 has the "3g" logo, but I'm sure it uses the UMTS and even the HSPDA.. I did came upon a registry modification done after a hard-reset where Tmobile changed the "U" into "3g".

If you do a hard reset ('clear storage') on the SPV M3100, then do a soft reset just after you press the screen to reset (you have 3 seconds!), this will stop all the Orange extras from installing and hence display 'U' instead of '3g'.

I'd like the 3G rather than the U; and I believe AKU3.0 fixes that by default now.

Change "U" to "3G"
Hi Guys, I am with Telstra Australia and after playing with a couple of phone skins I found that the "U" had changed to a "3G".
I much prefer the "3G" and have looked through everything trying to figure out where the images are kept.
Is it an image file or a registry setting.
This is no big deal but would certainly like to change it if I could.
(If you install a T-Mobile skin it appeaers but disappears when you uninstall it and go back to the default phone skin)
Thanks in advance.

Icon can be changed, but it's complicated:

Change "U" to "3G"
OK vijay555 spill the beans...... how complicated!
Any tips!!!!

Well, very complicated for me (involving quite low level hacking) with my limited knowledge, but achieveable.
However, I'll leave the question open a la Fermat because I'm sure someone's got a better solution.

Noctua Tech team presents software unlock code reader which allows you to easily SIM unlock HTC Maple (HTC Snap / HTC S522 / T-Mobile Dash 3G / Tmobile Captain):
​
Get the phone unlock code in just 3 simple steps:
Connect the phone to your computer using the USB sync cable
Launch HTC Multi Unlocker

Hi,
just curious.... why doesn't the HTC Ozone work with your unlocker?
I see that you didn't include it in the list.

Ozone is CEDAR (CDMA)

Thanks for your reply.
I still don't understand. I'm sorry but I'm confused with so many names.
Ozone is also GSM. Does it mean this unlocker doesn't work with this phone?
I own an HTC Ozone and I got the GSM slot unlocked by calling Verizon and providing the IMEI as like in any other phone.

This actually worked for me!
It'costs (15 euro) but it work good on Dash 3g!

....
Please...i can donate way Western Union i am From Colombia i can not paypal..thanks..help

Hi.. Your mobile dash 3g can be unlocked by its network provider itself.. Otherwise unlock it by some online providers like Simpleunlocking.com very easily.. Actually the above software could unlock some limited models but you can get unlock codes for plenty of models from that online provider.. So it is better to unlock it here....

Htc pure 2100mhz/hsdpa

Hi
I've bought a HTC PURE AT&T, but I noticed on the box specifications it does not have 2100MHZ band. Vodafone provides HSDPA/3G on 2100 band in my country.
How can I activate HSDPA on 2100 BAND?
I have tried Advance Config application and have enabled HSDPA icons but it still only shows GPRS.
Will installing a new custom ROM fix activate HSDPA?
Thanks

Well you bought the wrong device. The Pure only supports UMTS850 and UMTS1900. You should have bought the European Diamond 2 for UMTS2100 support.

But this seems to be a screenshot from a Pure:

I think you onto something there Tom.
What is the menu path to get to that screenshot?
I still have the AT&T rom on, which I would like to uninstall( have already HARDSPL), but I want to install the HTC official 6.5 rom. Could the AT&T rom be hiding the functionality to choose the band?

Ok found in other posts there should be a band tab:
Settings/All Settings/Personal/Phone/Click on the Band Tab it is under the Selet your GSM/UMTS band.
But because i'm using AT&T ROM still I assume its been removed.
What application can I use to change the band? Will RegEdit work?

Radio bands are hardcoded into the processor. no way to change it. sorry

Go to following registry key [HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting] and change "ShowUMTSBandPage" to 1 will enable band selection page in phone settings.
there you are .. works on my stock rom .

Thanks that worked.
Now i'm able to select GSM(900+1800) + UMTS(900+2100)
but does this mean device is supposed to work on 2100mhz, because I still am not getting 3G?

nope it will not work, with no matter what software config u throw at it
i got a topaz and i am on the att network, i know the internet is slow but i dont really need it

Hi, sorry to dig up a relatively old thread, but im from Australia and am looking to purchase a HTC Pure. Problem is, my carrier runs on 900/2100Mhz for HSDPA.
Did changing the radio band work? Does the phone now work properly on 3G/HSDPA?
Also, how hard is it to access the registry key? Do i need to hack the phone in any way? Or is there a guide i can follow?
Thanks.
Michael

No, there is no way to make what the software says about the settings make the phone do something it cant. it PHYSICALLY cannot support 2100, as others have stated, it will not now nor ever work.

att has it listed as a world phone working in 2100 wcdma areas .. it worked for my aunt in japan .. AU i dunno but it can use 2100 .

From everything I have read and researched there is no way to change it. I believe the option of the 2100 is a carryover from the HTC Tilt 2 for AT&T. Tilt 2 has 2100 capability.

Toggle 3g/2g

Hey guys,
I have been looking several days for an option to toggle 3g <-> 2g but it simply isn't there where it supposed to be.
After discovering this article I'm wondering why this feature is missing in all wp7 samsung devices.
I really miss this option because I get at home barely 1 bar on 3g and thats not very good for the battery.
I thought that OEMs aren't allowed to customize the os on this level but why is this option not visible ?
Regards

I always thought that this option has been disabled by my provider because "3" doesn't have 2G at all. All GSM data is transferred via Roaming with A1 mobilkom.
Don't know, I've realised that my Omnia7 doesn't have this option but I don't miss it though.

worth a ponder

My boyfriend's Trophy has the 3g toggle located in settings. He's using vodafone. My omnia however is missing the feature. HTC vs samsung or carrier difference?

According to Orange it is missing on all Omnia 7s as it's missing from the Samsung software.

Thanks for your answers but nevertheless I'd like to hear why samsung did exclude this feature on their wp7 phones because I couldn't barely find any information about it on the internet.
It's incomprehensible and there we see that samsung failed once again with "their" software. Toggle 2g is an option that I really won't miss specially in areas where I have bad signal. I'm going to contact samsung to see what they say about it.
Regards

Would be interesting to know, but don't get your hopes high...I cannot remember any time Samsung answered a support question for me

My Omnia 7 has this setting. I have a 16 GB device from T-Mobile Germany running on o2.

My Omnia 7 also has this setting (Optus stock [unlocked] 8GB version).
Settings > Mobile Network
What I LOVE about these settings is that whenever my phone tries to access the internet and 3GB/Data is turned OFF, it won't force it on. Infact, unless you have Wi-Fi turned on, it will just say it's unable to access a data connection.
More than I can say for Windows Mobile, which always turned it on no matter what you told it to do.

So it's not Samsung's idea but, more likely, our provider's idea to cut this setting.

T-Mobile service menu access... (PLEASE LOOK AT PICTURES)

So i just found out from another thread "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11088696" that we can access the tabs service menu with the the following code (*#*#197328640#*#*). Now this is a LONG shot but here it goes, for all of those with more technical knowledge than myself, would it be possible to set the tab with Voice+3G using a T-Mobile sim through this menu or no? Just wondering but i am sure i will get bashed for this.

I tried that! The menu has the choices we want, but they don't do anything. I'm sorry you got nervous to post that idea! I wish it worked. Did you try it yet?

just noticed something interesting:
this picture shows all the bands while on voice+edge using Roto's modem switch:

"lightbox_close": "Close",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
and this picture shows all the bands while only on 3g using Roto's modem switch:
now clearly while on 3g the is an extra band, WCDMA 1700(FDD IV) , and it does not show up while on Voice+edge does this mean anything? i wished someone with technical knowledge regarding this would chime in....
sorry for the way the pictures are layed out.

Well that confirms what we all have experienced. The modem in use that allows voice calls to be made does not have theT-Mobile 3g Bands( Band IV/ AWS/1700). The original T-mobile modem does allow 3G access but does not allow voice. How we combine the two is the challenge.
