Hi Guys Hope someone can help me. My HTC HD2 seems to have stopped using HSDPA its only using GPRS when connecting to the internet where before it always changed to H from G .Is there any thing I can do to turn this back on ? thanks in advance for any help
well you can check your band settings, settings ->wireless controlls -> click phone(not the on off slider) ->band and choose wcdma, that will set it to H or 3G only but if you have bad reception you won't get any signal. If your unhappy with the results i suggest trying different radios, first make sure they are compatible with your device and ROM.
Thanks jfmckenna that did the trick thanks very much for your help your a star

After doing a Hard Flash for the first time from 1.43 to 148 and rebooting my HD2. Within several minutes my reception speed would change from 3G to GPRS and back again while on the go, this has never happen before and was wondering is there a way to have consistent 3G speed/reception or was there a fault during my flash?
Any suggestions or help would most helpful.

Did you flash with SSPL / Gold card or with the HDSPL in-tacked?
EITHER WAY:
Press Phone Key>Options>GSM/UMTS Services:
Here select Band....then, "Get Settings"
The first tab should say GSM. Drop down menu option you want is WCDMA. This will force 3G all the time. However I don't recommend this setting as this will consume more battery.
Leaving it in 2G saves more battery and voice quality doesn't change....
hi,
maybe you flashed the radio part of the rom also, when you flash from 1.43 to 1.48?. im not sure, but you should check out this htc update, and try it. its a replacement for the radio portion of your rom only, and maybe fixing your problems. my singnal strengh has stoped to swing between full and no bars, and i have full bars most of the time, with this update.
regards mad.

Stock Roms include the Radio so if there was a change between one stock and the other then a change will occur...
There is nothing wrong with the radio band switching automatically though so unless you have bad reception, everything should be fine.

ah ok so im in 'the wrong film' . and again i learnd somthing from this great forum.

I have a problem. I must have tried 10 different ROM's in the last few days and I am getting extremely frustrated.
I have an HD2 (Telstra Version) that works on the 850MHz band for HSDPA.
Everytime I am on HSDPA, the location services stop working... Weather panel, Bing, Google Maps, nothing can find my location based on cell id... GPS works fine...
When i switch the 3G off... location services work perfectly fine.
I have tried different ROM, Radio combinations, but nothing seems to work...
I have tried NRG ROM, Dutty's HG (preferred) and ML series, but to no avail.
Can anyone help me troubleshoot this problem further, or has anyone else encountered this... I would really like some help on this.
Thanks a lot.. beers/coffee on me...
Taimoor
It works!!!
Bless this forum and bless the users on it!!!
Finally i think I have a fix...
Hi guys. This seems to be a nice friendly informative thread. I too WAS having the data disconnect on my phone.
I have the 1.66 sea wwe official rom. I tried every radio from the telstra radio to the new 2.08.50.08_2 radio. To tell you the truth I didnt notice anything different between any of the radios. So I really can't say if one is better than the other. But I started changing settings.
If you are in a 3G (H) 850 area I suggest this.
settings/Wireless controls/phone/band
for Network Type choose WCDMA
for Band Frequency choose the third setting. On Telstra rom it will be GSM(1900)+UMTS(850) and on any other rom it will be GSM(1900+850) and select done.
Now this should stop most of that switching you see in the taskbar of your phone. But this isnt actually what is causing the freezing. It has to do with your sms messaging I believe. I went 2 weeks resetting my phone twice a day. Then I went here.
settings/menu/all settings/connections/advanced network/sms service
Right now GSM is working for me. 4 days and no internet freezing. I believe your incoming email might be coming in by sms also. Notice you only get a few lines and have to download the rest using data to see the whole email.
Others on the forum have turned off email and their phones quit freezing. So if GSM doesnt work for you try GPRS and so on. This is only my opinion but I have been very happy for the last 4 days. Thanks for letting me share this info.
If anyone is interested I have made a cab file which is un-installable that will change the Band Frequency menu to the menu from the Telstra rom. It is mostly cosmetic but at least you will know what bands you are selecting. Use at your own risk of course. I have installed, tested, and uninstalled it myself. No issues.
For the last 4 days with these settings I only see 3G while phone is setting idle. As soon as I connect to the internet it switches to H. I am very happy with my phone now. Thanks matthewf01 for starting this thread. I should have came here sooner.

Hi,
I apologize if it's the wrong forum or if I missed something in my search over the forums (and internet).
Current setup :
HTC Legend rooted, flashed with Azure 1.0.1 (cyanogen 6.0)
Kernel 2.6.29
Baseband 47.26.35.04u_7.05.35.26L
Issue :
For some reason I can't get my 3G connection stable. eg. When I enable Wifi - 3G drops (which is set up that way), but when I disable Wifi 3G doesn't come back up. Even though the settings are correct.
I'm having a hard time getting any mobile data correctly going, it generally requires me to enable/disable wifi and reboot the phone several times.
Basically I've tried factory resets, checking the settings (config of mobile networks too), it doesn't stay in 2G mode, ... I've test with other Cyanogen based roms and it's the exact same issue. Is it possible this is due to a radio being wrong or is it possible it's actually the phone?
So:
- 2G only is DISabled
- Mobile data is enabled
- wifi off
- settings (mobile connection parameters) are correct
- tried different roms
- checked in places I know I should get a good connection (My provider is Telenet, they use the Mobistar network, my previous provider was mobistar. So the coverage should remain the same.)
I am at my wits end and do apologize if this is a stupid question, but I can't think of anything else that could interfere with this.
Have you tried to leave the 2G/3G settings by default? That is, not to disable 2G. It is anyway switching to the best it can aquire, so if you have strong signal you should get allways 3G. I never had these problems with any ROM I've tried...nightly, Azure, RC1/RC2

Quick solution : put one of HTCs widgets for mobile network on your homescreen and as soon as you turn WiFi off toggle the mobile network widget and 3G should start working again . It's a hit or miss though.

Must have used the wrong keywords >.< Sorry. Though thank you for the link, it is EXACTLY the prob I am encountering. At least now I know it's not the rooting that caused it.
About the HTC widget : I've used it, but it's indeed a hit or miss. Best solution seems to switch to 2G and switch back to 3G that way.
Leaving all the settings at standard (and the most recent flash to the CM RC1) helped with the overall connectivity though.
For everybody using HTC HD2 that is connected to T-mobile or simple mobile network, depending of the location in the USA, u will have a problem with poor reception. no mater what ROM or Radio u use the solution is very easy.
Just go to: Comm Manager( wireless controls)/Phone/Band and change the band from Auto to WCDMA, the phone has problems with going automatically from one to another
U have no idea how much research I had to do for this. I almost changed the phone because of this issue, after this it works perfectly. And don't worry u still use the GSM and 3G(WCDMA) even if its set like this.
Well I hope this will save a lot of people lot of time and nervs that I lost If it works for u too, advertise the solution on more places, because when I needed I couldn't find it anywhereeeeeeeee
No questions on this, because I don't follow this tread. Just leave comments if it works or not, and give alternative solutions. Thanks
Well i keep loosing singnal on my HD2:
Spec:
NAND HD2 CoreDroid HD V1.6 ANDROID 2.2.1
RADIO: 15.40.50.07U_2.12.50.02_2
NETWORK: ERA *POLAND*
Signal Strenght: -89dBm 14 asu UMTS
I can loose singnal for about 30 minutes and it wont find anything. Then obviously i get 0 dBm. I have had the newest radio but i have changed to that to see if it solves the problem, but it hasnt. So im kindly asking You guys for help and Your opinions.
Thanks
Try if switching to 2G networks only in the settings solves your problem, this did the trick for me.
I only switch it off for fast 3G downloading, solves the missed call issues for me too.

With all tho respect i havnt got an option USE ONLY 2G Networks. I have Downlaoded widget APN ON/OFF. It has switched it off Thanks
For me when I was in Poland radio 2.14 or 2.15 solved the problem.
I am now using 2.14, I can see that you are using 2.12 I would change that to be honest and install other radio, just experiment a little and see which one is best for you
pozdrawiam

True but i'm unsure if its a network related problem or android because i flashed so many roms with different radio's always experiencing the same data conection drop problem when 3G is on.
So i just flashed back to the stock nexus build to stay.
I wish i could use the full potential of my device too...
(The menu to switch on only 2G network is only available on stock android rom, not on sense roms etc as they use their own menu styles)

Im now definitely sure that its not a hardware related problem as i tried 4 different EU HD2's and they all had the same problem after flashing android.
Now it's only to find out if it's a radio - android compatibility problem or just a flaw in android itself.
Ok,, now again for the 10th time , i started over from task29 , up to installing radio 2.15.50.14,, then boyppc v25 rom,,, and i guess this worked for me, i still have the connection dropping but less often than it used to be. it happens maybe once a day.
isn't there a developer who can help us find out what is the problem and develop a solution for us???
