Please help, usa tmobile hd2, no 1700 band either in settings or regestry

Just was checking some information since my phone seems to be running very slow in terms of internet and data sharing. I noticed that there is no setting at all for 1700mhz on my phone. Any ideas why?
Thank you all in advance

1700 is a band that it's programmed to use by default....what "settings" exactly are you looking to find/change?

Please do not open threads and then make the same posts in other threads (stuff like that will get you banned)

1700 band.
The reason i had even looked at the settings, and the reg is that my data speeds are not all that great. And i was wondering of there was any way to improve upon that. Usually the best i can get is about .4Mb/s down and .05 up.
Today was the best i have gotten so far at .85 down and .09 up.
Even with .85 as an average of 3 tests the best download rate i have gotten is about 50-80k
Thanksin advance, and i apologize for the double posting.

There's really nothing you can do via reg to change the dl/ul speed of the phone when you're limited by the carrier and it's signal/infrastructure. .85Mbps is the avg for Tmobiles HSDPA so it sounds like you're in an area without HSDPA+. Once Tmobile upgrades your area to HSDPA+, it should improve.
The only thing that you can try and play with (and I doubt you'll see any improvements) is winmosettings>connections>connections>advanced>select networks> edit tmobile data/internet and change the access point name to one of the other ones (epc.tmobile.com, wap.voicestream.com, internet2.voicestream.com)

very slow 3G/HSDPA data connection with all builds :(

Can anyone confirm if they have a rock solid 3G/HSDPA data connection with HKCSL 1010 with any android builds? Please post APNs and radio/wm ROM/combinations if possible. It is nowhere near the speeds from my WM ROM from before but I just love the Android OS so much more as it's smoother and faster than any custom WM ROM's available. It runs great if it's on WI-FI, i just can't pay for my data connection and settle for a nice OS and almost 500Kbps data connection for now it's very frustrating and dissapointing since i'm in HKCSL 1010 NEXT G data plan..

I don't think the hardware supports TRUE HSDPA data

with latest builds, i have problem with bad signal reception... a have edge connection most of time.. i didn`t have this problem before... now in 4 builds i`ve tryied.. maybe it is because ppp?

Thanks for the replies guys but what do u mean true hsdpa? We are on a 3.5G network and also I see some other fellow users having 3g speeds of 3-5mbps which is super fast already. I have tried almost every rom out there and different barebone WM ROM as well but made no difference. Speeds are like GPRS slow! Tried PPP and RMNET but can't even tell a difference...sad as I can't use it with full potential.

Those numbers aren't exactly true as the browsing is slow as hell. I don't know how speedtest.net do it but it sure hell ain't that fast as it seems like it's constipated.

Most I get on every build I've tried is rough 0.33mbs connection, I've hit nothing over 45kb/s yet seem to be able to upload at over 70, that's on T-MOB UK, pain in the arse but I just try and stick to wifi, nothing I can figure out after swapping so many roms/radios/builds/modules etc etc etc!!!!

try out bangsters 1.4 (the latest i think) and edit the startup to PPP, used chuckyrom and 2.12 radio and seems like it's working pretty good. Not much constipation at all. Try it out and let me know. I only had wifi so couldn't check 3G speeds before (here in HK for trip now).

i am using darkstones desire hd build on o2 in the uk and currently get roughly 2meg down when connected to hsdpa

Still the same, I can't figure out the issue, only thing I can get it down to is something on T-MOBs end, but even that I don't know haha!!!!

Lei ho..
Please try my setup via my tag, I'm getting 2.3Mbit for download and 700kb for upstream..
BladeZ

Since moving to Android on HD2 from the myTouch Slide, my data speeds have oddly evened out.
Meaning, data speeds have increased in places I used to only get EDGE coverage at and decreased to about 2mbps where I used to get 4-5.
I just hopped on to this part of XDA but I've gathered that Android development has only been happening for about three months. That's nothing! Look at all the cool stuff people have done! I think it's only a matter of time before the radios and builds start jiving a bit better. I'm ultra happy with what I've got so far.

hi BladeZ, lei ho ah! Thanks for the advice. Just wondering if you are in HK and using the provider as me?
Regards

My speedtest results are good (~450-500 kB/sec down, 150 kB up) on 3g, but when I use the market, the speeds are much slower. Same with wifi: speedtest reports excellent results, but using market is slow.

Hi I just flashed back to a dutty's WM rom and the browsing speed is much more faster and consistant. The rom is fast but opera just isn't smooth at scrolling and the windows limitation of colors isn't as smooth either. There are always some good and bad for the 2. I miss android already...but until there is a fix for consistent 3G and hsdpa connection, it is not ready for primetime yet...just my personal opinion.

I'd have to agree unfortunately. Android's biggest weakness in my eyes is it's reliance on online connectivity. Nearly every app on Android needs to go online. So when the online connection is intermittent and unstable it makes Android virtually defunct.

for all the fellas having Data being slow....read on!
GUYS!!! been fiddling with this $hit long enough! Today, just found out why my provider and 3G speeds are so damn slow. I read up on other forums (not xda) and played with APN settings. Don't know if they were case sensitive or not, or whatever..but i simply put in my provider name "CSL", and APN as "internet" and leave EVERYTHING ELSE blank, i get a screaming fast connection. NO HICCUPS NO CONSTIPATION. TRY IT!!! Don't input all those garbage numbers as it just confuses you! ONE thing though, you will not be able to access WAP I believe but i don't use it anyways. I have a LIMITED data plan and all this testing been taking up my 500MB quota already so I won't even bother with the speedtest process anymore. GOOD LUCK and please report back guys!

I m getting speeds upto 2.6 mbps download and upload 500 kbps with desire hd rom..2.14 radio..energy Rom in winmo..

Try surfing to secure sites...that speedtest doesn't mean much if your provider restricts you from certain secure sites. Let me know.

speed fun

hi everyone
this is my bad news
i just got my nexus s
and i still own my galaxy s
now same phone provider(optus australia) same Apn setting this is speed result?
Galaxy S: 4.92 download
1.12 uploading
Nexus S: 2.21 download
1.05 uploading
what also i can see i got H on my Galaxy but only 3g on my Nexux s
well for sure this make the different i believe but why for the same Apn tested in the same place??
now we have to fing the answare
Mr Gee

The answer is that Google don't seem to like the H icon and therefore disables it. The phone still works fine on HSPA, it just doesn't display it.

i can understand
but the different in speed?

Have you done multiple tests against multiple servers at different times of the day and averaged the results?
I can truly see a difference of 50% or more from one test to another sometimes, even when ran just a few minutes apart. Network traffic is just funny that way.
The other thing you might want to do to validate your comparisons is get the Antennas app from the Market (it's free) and make sure both phones are actually connecting to the same tower. They should be, but if you're in an overlapping tower area, they might not be due to load balancing by the network.

i will try
so definitely is not H on nexus S?

You will never see an H indicator on the Nexus S with the current stock firmwares. You'd need to flash a modded ROM or modify your frameworks file yourself to get it.
The phone is definitely capable of H speeds, though.

Same here in Florida. Vibrant gets 5 or 6 mbps down and 1.6 up while NS gets a max of 2 or 3 down and 900 k up

Thank elkavayo

Have you guys called T-Mo customer service and asked them to look into the problem relative to your individual phone?
They'll probably tell you to try a new SIM card (if you're using the one you had on an older device).
The phone is capable of faster speeds than you're seeing. It should get comparable to a Vibrant.

my sim i three week old
i will try to swap with sim from gs and test again
to be continued

I'm going to start throatpunching people who ask this question.
Just because you don't see an "H" in the framework, doesn't mean you're not connecting to the HSDPA.
Start downloading something then type in *#*4636#*#* in the dialer. Look at "Phone Info" and watch the "Network Type." You'll notice a few seconds after it starts downloading, it'll switch from UMTS(3G) to HSDPA(also 3G).

Hi Unremarked
have you try the code your self?
i try and give me wrong code!!

Typed too fast, my fault.

Or you can find the same info in Settings > About > Status

I love my vibrant, so fast so reliable so quick...to me nexus s is a downgrade

I have both the SNS and the SGS
SGS is on Fido
SNS on Wind
both gets a top speed down speed of 2800+ Mbps
and aprox 800+ Mbps up stream
that just gives you an idea that the SNS works properly, it might simply be the capacity load of the cell tower you were connected to

Nothing wrong with the phones or SIM. Has to do with the modem. Flashing different modems on the vibrant have the same effect. Some modems are more aggressive, but use more battery. Nexus One stock gets same download speed as nexus S. I'm sure most NS and Vibrant will perform the same in the same geographical area.
BTW, you don't get the same download speeds everywhere. At home I get 2mbps but at work, about noon, I get close to 6 (with the vibrant) and close to 3 with NS.
In any case, 2mbps is pretty good. I won't go and exchange my phone because of that. I have learned to enjoy my NS as opposed to look for any possible thing that makes it not perfect in the eyes of "my friends"

cool.. if you love it so much, why are you on the Nexus S forum trying to discourage other people about the phone? Not trying to be rude or anything but posts saying Nexus S is a downgrade compared to X phone is just really annoying.

2800 Mbps would be 933.33 MBps and that's <b><u>CRAZY</u></b> fast lol

Best modem for Europe @CM7 ?

I have CM7 Nightly #42 and I'm looking for the best modem for Europe, Germany mainly. I can't get 3G to work with JVP/JVQ. Would be nice if it's easy on battery, too.
Any suggestions?

I am using JVO. For the 2g/3g toggle to work wait for the next nightlie. This issue has been resolved

Great news that it finally has been resolved! I miss Cyanogen (used it on my G1 sold 10 months ago, but now I'm on stock Samsung ROM), maybe it's time to do the switch.

Italy For what is the best modem? I thank you in advance CM7 "Italy 3"

I'm on #61 and still no 3G... Nothing in release notes of #62 indicating any improvement. Perhaps I should flash JVK modem back?

You can have 3G only by using the settings menu and not the widget

I don't use the widget. I keep 3G on in the settings, but all I get is H/3G flashing on status bar from time to time with H staying there for good.

Since "H" is better form of "3G", it looks ok.

ugh... I'm turning red now, good you can't see it... THANKS!

H stands for: HSDPA, 7.2 Mbps
Basically means that you have access to high speed internet on your phone.

ok, ok, I got it the first time... please do not kick me anymore, I'm laying on the floor already...

3g or Wifi... Dont know...

Hey! I need some help
I want to buy a Xoom, but i dont know which to buy...
There are two versions in Germany:
- mz601 - Wifi + 3g for 405€
- mz604 - Wifi Only for 366€
You can see, the price difference is pretty small... I dont necessery need 3g, but maybe its a nice to have?!
Whats my problem now you think: I will definetly root the device and im going to spend a lot of time in development thread
I just saw, that there are not all roms compatible with the 3g model and more devs focus first on the Wifi only device...
Is it possible to flash wifi only roms also on wifi + 3g xoom and just disclaim for the 3g feature?
Then I would buy the mz 601.
If you tell me, that there are often problems with roms for the 3g model, i'd grab the 3g model.
I hope, you can understand what i mean and im looking forward to your responses!!
Greets from Germany

Yes, you can usually use wifi-only roms on a 3G device, just impacts 3G connectivity...usually wifi is no affected. Now US 3G sometimes has more trouble with custom roms as they have different gsm as opposed to US cdmi.

I'm assuming you can't tether to your phone. If not, I'd get one with 3g if you can afford the data plan

Can I use every Wlan Rom on an 3g Model (MZ601), but disclaim the 3g?!
Thanks for the replys...
@okantomi: What means "usually" in that case? Always or sometimes? What are the exceptions.
So that means, i could use the ICS Nightlys by Team EOS but without 3g integration?
Is that true for every Wlan- rom? I just want to be sure, that IF I flash a Wlan-Only-ROM on an 3g-device, it only effects the 3g to be missing.
I love flashing and being "up to date" softwarewise... I hope you can understand my concerns.
I just want to have 3g, if i want to use it in half year... Because a mobile or transportable device like this, is pretty cool with 3g. when you are on the way...
EDIT: I could tether... but i have a 3g limit of 500 mb... and basicly i am not allowed by contract to tether...
I could for a small amount, i only have to deal with the consequences

Yes that is correct. We will have a European 3G version at some stage as well.

Thx for reply, team eos...
So, there is no chance to brick the device, when i flash the nightly on an EU-3g-device, right?!
Nice to hear, that you will support 3g later

So, yes, since I have a wifi-only Xoom I have no direct experience with the 3G Xoom to draw on, but from what I have seen, unless the developer says otherwise, it is usually only 3G connectivity that is missing.
