Has anyone tried a Three sim in the UK and confirm it works fine.
Thanks
Yup my phone is on 3 - Works perfectly.
SC
Yes am using on three as well no problem at all, solid HSDPA 90%.
excellent, think I might switch from o2 to three as I can't get 3G signal at work.

I switch to Three back in 2006 and one of the reason was 3G signals, where ever i go i get good signals and now i get HSDPA almost all the time.
I'm using three on my Nexus One... its brilliant.. no 3g signal problems and all the services work smoothly.

Right, this is my second tytn and i have sent first one back last summenr because of HSDPA problems. problem was that when i use 3g connection to internet was (usually) broken and couldn't load anything at all but was ok in gsm mode. I thought htc might have fixed it so bought current TYTN but hey! problem is still there. While trying to sort out i noticed that if i disasble HSDPA 3g works fine. dont forget you will stick with standart 3 g speeds.
can any one confirm?
how do i know when im getting hsdpa as i never seem to get any speeds faster than around 29k which is around 3g speeds even with a full 3g signal although i do find internet access very very flaky still...
I am still running the standard t mobile settings, i havnt chaged the proxy settings which in some cases help a lot of people
id be more inclined to say its tmobile's end that isnt working correctly, my TyTN is working fine on HSDPA with O2-UK. Have you had your account enabled for using HSDPA????

you need to call t-mobile and tell them you want to speak to technical support then tell them that you want to enable hsdpa on your line. in 30 mins you get it. but doesnt metter. if you have hsdpa in your area and your tytn enabled you might have problem without actually getting it

Well it seems so, I checked online to make sure i wasnt spouting rubbish LOL! As in my sig i achieve ATLEAST 1.1mbps when im connected to and they did announce they would be trialing HSDPA in the isle of man (which they have the fixed aswell as mobile telecomms contracts) and they rollout would be to the latter of 2006?!? Ive managed these speeds since i got my USIM (early september).
If im SERIOUSLY mistaken then i apologise but its gotta be HSDPA since the practical achievable speeds on regular UMTS are around 300kbps right?
yes you're right. you can't achive 1mbit without hspda. i have an o2 sim. will try it
I have got No Service sometimes on my N1, must restart to show signal and carrier name again. Have any one got same problem ?
Nothing like that here in Austin, TX. Where are you and what carrier do you use?

Same issue in the UK on vodafone. In general reception is worse than the hero or magic in the same location, same network. Not talking about data speed or 3G, just getting a signal is sometimes a pain in weak signal areas. Most times I only have one or two bars, or even none but it doesn't say no network! And sometimes it'll be on no network and I'll have to restart or move to a different spot. But it's weird cause it seems to fluctuate quite a bit.
Is there anything that can be done to boost the reception?
i have the same problem too - also on vodafone UK. phones been ok for a week or so but since yesterday i keep losing signal and either have to restart phone or manually connect to a network. i also get a sim card exclamation mark notification in the bar which i dont have a clue what it means!!
anyone out there no why?

I would suggest to hold on until the OTA update will be deployed next week (more or less) it will be a fix for the US 3G issues and Im quite positive that it will increase stability of the 3G signal here as well.
that's what I'm hoping for too, although most of the complaints on that issue have been related to 3g/edge rather than the signal itself. I know the two are related but I've often had decent enough 3g with a weak signal so hopefully the ota fix will address all this
Hi All,
Done a quick search on this and can't find anything relevent, but i apologise if a thread already exists.
Really a question for those in the UK on the t-mobile network. Have any of you attempted to sign up for the orange 2g roaming service yet? I signed up, recieved the confirmation text, replied to it, and received the final confirmation. However, I'm not sure it's working. The signal seems no stronger, and i still drop in my house.
Obviously i'm posting this in the android section because i'm running android myself and am wondering whether anyone in the same boat has managed to get roaming to work. Should the fact that we're on a non-official OS running off the sd card make a difference?
Oh and for completeness, i'm running shubcraft 1.5 rmnet.
Cheers fellas!
I'm quite happily flip flopping between Orange while at work and T-Mobile for everything else...
works like a charm for me though you do have to stick the phone into Airplane mode after selecting the different provider for the data to work ...

Many thanks for the reply Jezwick. So, just for clarity, you're manually selecting each provider as and when required? Because i can do that, i think. When i select orange though, whilst it registers with the network fine, i get a little "R" above the signal bar (any ideas what that means?) And the speed appears to be limited to Edge. Orange have a very strong signal round here, so i figure i should be getting GPRS really.
It's the auto-switching i'm not totally sure is working really. Is there any explicit indicator that it's flipping on it's own? Or do you just observe a generally better 2g signal, rather than say, a very weak 3g one? Round the house, my phone is still trying to make do with 1 or zero bars of 3g. I would have hoped it would flip over to orange more or less all the time under those circumstances. Nothing to stop me manually selecting it i guess though...

The R is indeed for roaming that's the way it works if your not on your 'own' network.. The 'flipped' service will currently only work at GRPS speeds at the moment but should be 3G by the new year
I have noticed mine flipping automatically but only once or twice in the last few weeks but only when I get NO signal from the current service.

Understood - thanks for the info Just done some reading and apparently EDGE is faster than basic GPRS. For some reason, i'd always assumed the reverse. Looks like the best option is just to have it always on orange whilst at home and use wifi for data (which i do anyway to compensate for the poor signal). Cheers!
I don't know if I'm having issues with my phone or T-Mobile's network but I can't get any mobile data functionality. The 3G / H icon displays but any attempt to get any data sees the upload indicator active with no download activity. I've tried WiFi which works fine so it's either a problem with the radio or T-Mobile. Any UK owners on T-Mobile tonight that can tell me if there are issues? Thanks
no issues for me in se london/n kent area
That's what I thought, thanks. I had this a month or so ago where all data downloading would fail but the upload arrow would constantly be there like it was sending requests and getting nothing back. I never did find the problem and it started working a few hours later so it's likely a local issue. I'm in the North East.
i have no issues, in the east midlands
3290 kbps! that's rather fast, I live in the east midlands and don't get anywhere near that

switch off your data with the widget and then restart your phone and switch on the data after the restart
see if that works
otherwise no problem on tmobile in north london/west london... been traving and surfing to make sure my team werent losing. i shouldn't have botherd
It's been fine in the Durham area for me, probably pulled a couple of hundred MB down today...
I hate this stuff sometimes.. I had no 3G from about 7pm last night but 2G worked fine when I finally thought to check it. I tried an hour or so ago and now 3G is back up and running. I know it wasn't the phone because it put the SIM in my Milestone and had the same problem, stupid networks!
So I've been using this Omnia 7 for a while now. Fantastic phone. I bought it from a dealer in the UK and have been using it in Canada.
The phone works great with my carrier, but it drops signal every few minutes and refuses to get it back for a while. It's on the latest version of Mango Zune finds. If I leave it sitting in a spot, it gets full 3G+, is blazing fast, sends and receives texts instantly. But if I'm on the move, it's constantly dropping signal.
Anyone have any idea how I could fix this? It's becoming really annoying.
I know it's not the phone's hardware - I sent in the previous one because I thought it might be, and I had the exact same issue.
don't know what frequency your carrier uses but on att in US it doesn't support all the bands.. it's usually good for me though but some areas I have to disable 3g and I get better and consistent signal on edge. needs to be unlocked use samsung tools to enable 3g toggle
My carrier supports tri-band HSPA (900/1900/2100) and GSM. I regularly get 3G+ or full-strength 3G around the city - however, it seems that if I move around it drops signal right away.
For the 3G toggle, do I have to do a Chevron unlock? Or is there a simpler way?
I've had this problem for a long time and there simply doesn't appear to be a fix.
Oh, man. That really saddens me. I love this phone, and it's perfect when it works!

yes you need chevron unlock to install the xap, it will add the toggle to your "cellular" settings menu

It's bizarre, truly. My city isn't that big, and my provider has a pretty good network. There are moments where I'm on the road and I have blazing-fast 3G+, then the next second no signal at all, repeat. I know it's not the carrier, because my old phone (using the same SIM) had no such issues, and I know it's not the hardware, because this is the second Omnia to do this. Gah!
I'm wary of Chevron unlock because everything already sort-of works, and I already have a Data toggle... I don't want to make it work less, especially because I have no idea what firmware I would restore to if I mess up.

Manitoba Telecom Services in Canada. I checked, and they have the exact same network type as T-Mobile Germany, which is where this phone originally came from. It should work fine but it doesn't!
strange issues, sorry but i believed you were from Europe, anyway the phone should automatically switch to E (dge) when it's not covered by 3G+, at least this is what happens to me, but i'm on different carrier

I think it's just low signal strength - it's typically out of reception in buildings, tunnels or basements, even though my old phone had reception there.
I live in London, I am on T-Mobile, with a T-Mobile branded handset which i chevronned to Mango.
I have lots of signal problems, which I posted about previouslty.
Would love some help - generally my signal either gets stuck on GPRS, or zero. I rarely see 3G in places I used to get full 3G+
