Hi
I was using Edge and it used to show an Edge icon but since this afternoon it looks like my N1 doesn't see the Edge APN anymore, no icon and no connection

i am not aware of this?Or is there a software to enable this ?
yes the wizard works with edge. there is a hack to enable an indicator to show if you are connected to edge or gprs, but edge should work regardless. This indicator can be enabled by using RegistryWizard as well.
Is the registry hack just for the indicator ?
As far as the specs shows Wizard only has GPRS built in,how will u enble EDGE ?Or does it automatically work on EDGE also ?
As far as I know from personal experience and This T-mobile. com page, it is edge out of the box. I find the indicator quite useful, however (it appears as a small E or G in a box on the top bar near the signal...)
I'm running the latest cingular/summiter rom and it jumps for E to G every now and then. Isn't edge available when your accessible to GPRS?
Yes the wizard is capable of edge speeds and will use it when there is that availability on the network. Not all gprs networks have edge.
Ive got a question on this. I have a wizard with T-mobile and I am in a very covered city. but my T-mobile only says connecting to GPRS... like when i try loading a page, it says connecting to t-mobile GPRS, it never says EDGE. What is up with that. how do i fix it to load up EDGE?
EDGE is nothing but Enhanced GPRS. It is always "over" GPRS. So we always see a GPRS connection being made.
Have a look at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhanced_Data_Rates_for_GSM_Evolution
"EDGE (also known as EGPRS) is a superset to GPRS and can function on any network with GPRS deployed on it, provided the carrier implements the necessary upgrades."
As far as the icon is considered, it will be "E" or "G" depending on if the "enhancements implemented" are working at the time or at the transmitters (towers) in the area.
So when it changes from E to G there really is a difference, not just a worthless symbol..
Also how can i test my connection speed on my wizard? I went to dslreports.com and did there wap tests and it told me 3kb/s which i highly doubt is my speed because it loads everything pretty fast.
use the HTML tests, not the WAP... They are much more accurate.
I have an Atom Exec and I only get the "G" gprs icon displaying instead of the "E" icon for edge connection (yes, my mobile network supports edge in my area). I'm only getting about 30-40kbs GPRS download speeds too, so definitely not EDGE speeds. Is this a bug? Is anyone else having this issue or is this some setting that the provider needs to change on their end? BTW, I uploaded the latest ROM.
hey i am also facing the same problem .
bt my case is a bit different one .at some location in my house
i get E sign bt get G for the rest.
i want to kno if edge or gprs network availability has anything to do
with traffic???
plzzz reply
Hi,
I have bought an uses hw6915 device, which works fine, except for EDGE. I´m connecting to web.vodafone.de (Germany) without any problems while in GPRS. As soon as I´m approaching an EDGE network and the [E] appears, the data transfer is stopped, server can´t be reached but the device is logged into the EDGE network.
Phone works in EDGE network as long as I´m not connected to APN.
Does anyone has a clue? Could the device defective or is it a strange configuration problem?
Is there a way to swith off EDGE in registry?

Perhaps the carrier that runs that EDGE enabled tower doesn't have a data roaming agreement with Vodafone. That would cause you to become disconnected once you hit that EDGE tower.
Just an idea, as I'm not sure how data roaming agreements work in Europe.
EDGE is just an extension to GPRS. and only between both supporting radio's (both network and client device). If you dont see the E for EDGE coverage, chances are you just aint in range of an EDGE enabled transmitter. Most countries that have 3G wont bother using EDGE, orange in the UK say that EDGE is only really used as a fall back when you are out of 3G range.
I dont know of any way to force EDGE use, and if there is Id like to hear it! GPRS sucks!
It was a technical error. HP replaced the mainboard, now it works great...
OK, maybe this was a glitch, but while I was in another town today, my HD showed it had a 3g connection for about 5 minutes, instead of edge. I thought this wasn't possible?
All this morning at home I had the G icon as well. No H. I assume its a glitch because I did not get the change to send and receive data to test it. The phone would drop back to EDGE.
the G stands for GPRS (slower than EDGE) for 3G you must see 3G in the display
Oh. Well, poop. The other weird thing that happened was that my HD then told me my voicemail was not configured and I had to re-enter it on the phone. Must have changed networks temporarily.
I just bought a Samsung Galaxy S ii, coming from the captivate im cofortable with the phones menu layout and everything. I live on a borderline 3G / Edge area and it always likes to change on me. I get full service with edge but it usually likes to sit with one bar of 3G instead of full tower edge. This is only an issue at my house cause im on wifi anyway and dont need the 3G internet here. On the captivate I had a toggle where I could use GSM only or WCDMA only and it seems not to be here on the sgs2. Is there a way to get around this and toggle 3G and Edge when I want to?
Settings>wireless and networks>network mode.
Don't know if it does as you want but the option is there

Yes, as rasinell says... Just choose GSM for EDGE.
