I just bought a HTC Dual Touch, traded in a Cingular 8525. But I cannot get the DT to detect the 3G network that my 8525 did. So right now I can only use the edge network (slower) and this phone is supposed to be twice as faster as the 8525. Any thoughts ???
um... hv u consulted ur phone network service provider?
3G/UMTS
Yes I pay the extra fee for internet use with my internet user, and was activated on my Cingular 8525. I dont know why my dual touch doesn't detect the 3G network
can't they provide you with settings parameters, such as access entry point and etc, so that you can add a new connection manually?
I've also noticed this in moving from my tytn to my touch dual. I tested with them sitting side by side and identical settings. It'd be nice if it was just a problem with software or settings, but I figured it was the move from a quad-band phone to a tri-band one, and that the 3G stuff runs over the one I lost (850Mhz).
the 8525 is quad band gprs, tri band UMTS/HSDPA
Touch dual it tri band gprs, single band UMTS/HSDPA

Also, looks like the TyTN II is the only HTC device which has 850/1900/2100 UMTS bands. All other latest models (Touch, Touch Dual, Touch Enhanced, Cruise, S730, etc) has only 2100.
I dont know where you are but where I live cingular/AT&T uses the 850 band.
experiencing same problem and the reason is the dual is configured at 2100mhz waiting for a radio fix or something to help us go down to 850 as well.
from what i've heard there is a version touch dual 850 which works on the 850mhz band, if we can get the radio from that model maybe it can help our situation.
ok so australia is on a 850mhz network and telstra has the touch dual working on there 3g, do you guys think if we load the australia rom it would work or would we probably need the radio as well?
how would you find out if you have that different version?
i've been checking telstra's web page for specs but they match up exactly so maybe its just a radio change.?
Did anyone ever find out if a radio update to the original Touch Dual would allow quad band support and 3G bands for US frequencies?

Does anyone knows how to download Australia rom on touch dual
I have the same problem, I have a 20 key dual and can't use it. Works great in Indiana but, when I'm at home in Ohio it's dead I think the towers around my home are on the old network. I can only use the quad band phones. Bought a Cruise and works fine other than the Dual is just so sexy I hate not using it.
i have the u.s. version of the dual distributed by Best Buy, my problem is that it doesn't show the H logo for HSDPA in places where my AT&T Tilt always did, and I do have HSDPA enabled on the Dual.
I've bought HTC HD in Italy, TIM branded, in the box I can see:
Network
HSDPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz
GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
but in my phone interface selecting:
phone/menu/options/network - telefono/menu/opzioni/banda
I can't see WCDMA (UMTS) 900 Mhz
I only see WCDMA (UMTS) 800/850/1900/2100 and not 900 Mhz ???
someone can explain me why?
is it a software or hardware issue ?
thank you

Hi
I have in the phone - options - BAND these:
1. UMTS (2100) + GSM (900+1800)
2. UMTS (850+1900) + GSM (850+1900)
3. UMTS (800+2100)
4. UMTS (850+2100) + GSM(900+1800)
5. UMTS (850) + GSM(900+1800)
But I have this on "Automatic" so I've no idea what the phone is using now !
thank you Cheesy Dave
I can see the same thing on my Blackstone
thank you very much Cheesy Dave
Glad to hear I'm not the only one seeing this. My local network (Vodafone NZ) is pushing their new 900Mhz UMTS network so I was hoping my phone would support it. The back of the box says 900/2100 mhz but the list under phone/options/band is the same as quoted above 800,850, etc.
Does anyone know how I can be sure which band this phone is using? I bought this of a local auction site (new) and am hoping its not a special 850mhz version for the Australian market as some threads are discussing.
Thanks for any help.
I'M CURIOUS to know if the above mentioned possible selections in:
phone - options - BAND
1. UMTS (2100) + GSM (900+1800)
2. UMTS (850+1900) + GSM (850+1900)
3. UMTS (800+2100)
4. UMTS (850+2100) + GSM(900+1800)
5. UMTS (850) + GSM(900+1800)
are present, for example, in the newest HongKong ROM !!!
FYI my ROM versions showing this problem is:
1.14.479.3 (25874) WWE. 11/12/08.
Radio 1.09.25.14.
Protocol 52.49a.25.26U
Cheers.
I have found something interesting in the following thread:

here I can read "There have been plenty of attempts to use american radios with non american devices before, from what I understand they havent worked.
My understanding is that the american devices use the 7201a and the rest of the world the 7200 a"

My blackstone have QUALCOMM (R) 7201A

Hi,
PLEEEEASE SOMEONE REPLY... OR HAVE I POSTED IT TO A WRONG FORUM.... Should I have posted it to The ROM Developers forum so someone can HELP
I am new to this forum.
I bought a HTC T3232 in Asia with HSDPA/WCDMA network supporting 900/2100 MHz and GSM/GPRS/EDGE supporting 850/900/1800/1900 MHz.
I want to use the phone in Canada on the Bell HSPA network but unfortunately Bell supports only HSPA/WCDMA 850/1900 MHz
I read somewhere there is a way to unlock all the 4 frequencies on the phone for WCDMA by doing some ROM upgrade or changing some radio button, but I did not get any more info on that.
Please reply - anyone who knows how to open up all frequencies on this phone for HSPA/WCDMA
Details of my Jade can be found on the attachments (photos)

Hello
Is possible to enable to band HSPA to 850 MHz?
my operator works with 850 MHz
My Wildfire is 900MHz
Looking in the internet I see that HTC Wildfire for Australia have this specification(850/2100)MHz
http://www.htc.com/au/product/wildfire/specification.html
Is possible get the rom or Radio patch of these Phones (Australia) and enable this feature, if the answer is yes, where can i get this rom? or exists other way to enable this feature
Dmonium
Excuse me if my english is so bad
No. The phones either support 900 or 850 Mhz (amongst other frequencies).
If you have a 900 Mhz phone ti will not work on 850Mhz no matter what software you use.
Likewise, my 850Mhz Wildfire will not work on 900Mhz networks
In WildPuzzle rom
Add to Home screen/Shortcuts/Activities/Settings/com.android.settings.BandMode
After start you can Set GSM/UMTS band
Automatic/Euro/USA/Japan/AUS/AUS2
