Hi all,
I have got mine since last Friday and I am wiondering if you get the same problem as I do...
The UMTS reception is very hasardous once you are inside a house or behind a single window. Opening the window, I get three bars and once closed, no reception anymore. Did anyone experience the same kind of problem ?
Is it a general signal weakness problem ?
Do you know if HCT is awre of the problem and if this could be corrected using software ?
Thx for your help !

what about different 3G phones? are you able to get good reception inside the house with them? it may not necessary be Hermes/TyTN fault..
Thx for your reply...
As soon as I get outside, I get full power for the 3G network.
I tried it at another place and get the same results... I also found other complaints here:
http://forum.mypdacafe.com/viewtopic.php?t=10308&start=15
"It has been reported that the UMTS (3G) reception of the MDA Vario II (HTC Hermes) is not strong enough. As reported in the German CONNECT magazine, they had problems connecting to UMTS networks, especially in areas where the signal was weak.
Let's hope that this problem can be fixed with a simple software update, otherwise this could spell trouble for HTC. The problem should be the same across the board for the other brand names of the Hermes.
I hope Dopod is aware of this issue and get it solved before launching their model in Malaysia or anywhere else. "
What about your reception inside a building ???
I am concerned because the signal is nothing but weak in my area !
I live in London (zone 3) and I'm getting the same thing. Inside my flat reception alternates between no UTMS or 1 bar - even though standard GSM signal is full strength.
I found an explanation. The building where my office is located has special protection... Sadly, it blocks only UMTS signal, GPRS and GSM are not affected. Maybe someone can help us to understand why UMTS seems to be so sensitive to this protection ??
You may try another building and see if the problem occures. For me at least, it doesn't
Hope this helps.

Lio
This could be a typical situation as UMTS generally runs at 1900MHZ and above in Europe/Asia. The higher the frequency, the worse the building penetration. The only fix is very high density tower distribution. I had a lot of issues with GSM 1900MHZ in USA too. Once Cingular lit up the 850mhz band my building problems went away.
I was wondering if this would be a UMTS issue....
yah.. it does seem that UMTS signals are definite weaker in general.. but i guess it is still developing/rolling out in most countries so let's give it a little time eh?.. really hope it gets fixed soon tho!
hi People! i have the same problem with UMTS with my Hermes: im my flat my nokia phone can discover all the italian network (tim, vodafone, H3G and Wind) but my pda can only discover vodafone and tim. i changed radio roms but the problem remain. if i go outside, the signal can be discovered and fixed. the sad thing is that the same phone (htc hermes) of my girlfriend works in my flat perfectly! i have got the same radio rom version. do you know a way to "extract" radio rom from my girl phone and put it on mine? thanks...

I got the same, i think the diamond is a bad umts reception phone!! tried so much here...
I've done the upgrade and all goes well but now my P3600 doesn't find anymore the 3G Umts net of TIM Italy. Edge band is at full signal but it can't find TIM even forcing in the settings in Umts.
Anyone is experiencing this problem or a weaker UMTS reception after the Rom upgrade?.
Thanks in advance for replies.
Ciao Olaf
Hi,
I have Wind ITA but even with the original ROM or with the new upgrade 3G is not working since a few weeks...
It gets disconnected, or even connected drops calls, you cannot even make a call...
I don't think this is related to phone firmware as I've tried my sim card inside another phone and it was not working again in the 3G mode..
It's a very strange issue, seems not related to firmwares...but seems a general problem (at least for me)
I'm very happy with Edge mode!
My P3600 with a 3 sim has no problems but with the tim one yes.
My Tim sim in a Nokia 6630 phone works flawlessly in Umts.
I'm also happy with edge mode but a few weeks ago I had also Umts working.
Thanks for the reply

Hello guys, I'm looking for software that is able to tell me
comes strong when the signal received from any cells.
Basically I need to know if it comes in a flat
stronger the signal of 4 UMTS mobile operators (TIM - VODAFONE --
THREE - WIND) ...
If I try the network I see all 4 operators but I do not know how
strong come ...
Is there some software way to know?
Thank you
Hello
I live in Romania and own a I9506 from other country and in some poor signal areas the phone loses signal and emergency calls only appears while other i9505 holds the signal from same carrier (Orange Romania).
I would like if someone would help with a few modems to try and see if there is a difference in the signal quality.
Thanks in advance
Adrian
So ... it seems that this device lacks the support ... Pitty for a device this powerful ... Wil sell and buy something else
Well you can extract modems by yourself. Just download the software you want and extract it with 7zip.
We don't know what's you're on now.

Try and flash the modem from the nordic countries( http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=26191 ). I have the phone too, but i don,t have that problems with the signal, also orange Romania. I bought it from Sweden.
Just flashed the nordic rom... will post if it works or not. thanks all
Ok so the problem is this ... The phone does not connect to network on gsm mode ... if it's on auto lte/wcdma/gsm it works on wcdma. If i select gsm only it does not connect to network. On manual search it all goes ok finds all networks but when I sellect my carrier it says registering on network for about 3-5 mins and after that can't register to network error. On other phone it registers with edge speed.
What can I try ???
