SPV M3100 UTMS Indicator

I am wondering if my M3100 is on a UTMS Network. It is displaying the 3g and the little 3g. I am pretty sure this means the UTMS network but I wanted to make sure. My Downloads do seem to be BLAZING here in Nashville.

It should have a U in a small white box in the top bar if it is on the UMTS network.

Hmmm...what website does everyone use for speed tests on their phones?

I am getting speeds of 550, with only a single bar. I really hate when people open their mouth and don't know what they are talking about.

In my defence in Australia when you are on the Telstra UMTS network (Next G) you do get a U. I know this because I am getting one and have used one extensively in the shop.

Correct but all providers customize their ROMs

I know that they customize their ROMs. All I was doing was trying to do was help a fellow member and if you want to flame me go right ahead.

remind me not to try to help slimsaturn with any issues he has. Although it does seem that he has issues that cannot be resolved on this board.
Try anger management.

In Europe all unbranded TyTN's ie Hermes 200 have a U when on a UMTS or Super UMTS network irrespective of the telecom service provider & I would think this would be the same worldwide unless you have a network branded device who have installed their own rom.

Guest69 and scip01 I completely agree with your comments and I to will not be helping slimsaturn again and I remember when I was reading reviews of the Tytn they did have a U and that is why I said it. Thanks for saying something it took some guts.

Just look here and you will see the U http://www.clubimate.com/t-DETAILS_JASJAM.aspx

My Tmobile Vario2 has the "3g" logo, but I'm sure it uses the UMTS and even the HSPDA.. I did came upon a registry modification done after a hard-reset where Tmobile changed the "U" into "3g".

If you do a hard reset ('clear storage') on the SPV M3100, then do a soft reset just after you press the screen to reset (you have 3 seconds!), this will stop all the Orange extras from installing and hence display 'U' instead of '3g'.

I'd like the 3G rather than the U; and I believe AKU3.0 fixes that by default now.

Change "U" to "3G"
Hi Guys, I am with Telstra Australia and after playing with a couple of phone skins I found that the "U" had changed to a "3G".
I much prefer the "3G" and have looked through everything trying to figure out where the images are kept.
Is it an image file or a registry setting.
This is no big deal but would certainly like to change it if I could.
(If you install a T-Mobile skin it appeaers but disappears when you uninstall it and go back to the default phone skin)
Thanks in advance.

Icon can be changed, but it's complicated:

Change "U" to "3G"
OK vijay555 spill the beans...... how complicated!
Any tips!!!!

Well, very complicated for me (involving quite low level hacking) with my limited knowledge, but achieveable.
However, I'll leave the question open a la Fermat because I'm sure someone's got a better solution.

If they have then please post it because I too would like to change my "U" back to a "3G" if it becomes possible.
Thanks,

HSDPA Can I check In My T-Mobile

Ive just had hsdpa added to my account but CS didnt seem like they knew what they were talking about.
Will it say on my account in my t-mobile somwhere that i have this feature?
Thanks.
If it does could you let me know where abouts in my t-mobile it would be

Somewhere in extra services or something like that, there should be a feature called 384k Uplink and it should be enabled if T-Mobile have enabled HSDPA on your account.

ok thanks, cant see it anywhere on my account i called t-mobile got through to a tech they said its enabled on my acc and i wont be able to see it on my t mobile as its a free service,
I get my vario ii back tomorrow went for a software update missed the post on sat
whats the best place to do a speed test and what speed should i get that i know hsdpa is deffentley enabled?
Thanks again

Can you tell me what version you had prior to your upgrade. Were you having problems? if so what with?

Just checked mine and the exact name of the service as you should see it on yours will be 'HSDPA 384k Uplink' and it should be enabled.

In any case, to do a speed test browse over to http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed?jisok=1 on your device and select an amount to dowload. It's a speed test page for mobile devices so you might want to save it in your faves if you ever want to check the speed.
As for the speeds you should be getting...
3G - Max Uplink Rate - 128Kb | Max Downlink Rate - 384Kb
HSDPA - Max Uplink Rate - 384Kb | Max Downlink Rate - 1.8Mbit* (*Current theoretical limit on T-mobile)
I usually get around 1Mbit speeds with 2-3 bars of signal.

Rev. A -- For real?

Two questions
After upgrading to the latest firmware which supposedly includes Rev. A functionality, is the setting in ##pst# -> Data Parameters -> Rev. A -
Is it Disabled or Enabled? (mine is disabled, even after firmware update)
When you enter a DO area w/ Rev. A. capabilities, does Windows Mobile notify you about this?

Are you sure it says "disabled"? You better check because, i'm pretty sure it should say "disable"... Check it again and see.

Disabled means rev.a is enabled.

Disable - I read it wrong sorry.

Rev. A working with Verizon??
Is Rev. A added to the Verizon phones that have done the upgrade as well. Running DCD 3.0.1 with the Sprint Radio 3.35.
In the ##778 menu under Data Parameters it doesn't show the Rev. A line that everyone is referring to.
So I assume it didn't add the Rev. A capability since it is a Verizon phone.
GPS does work and I would like to thank everyone on the forum for all the post helping me to get to this point.
Anyone?!?

I would also like to know if it is enabled on my xv6800. I am in Phoenix and its network has been upgraded according to VZW customer support. I did a speedtest and didn't notice any improvement from rev 0.

Mine is enabled, using no2chems 5055 rom. D/l is within rev-a range, upload not so much. I wonder if enabled/disabled makes a differance, anyone have any tests ?

Well, today, I thought I would give my phone a real world test. Right now I am downloading some files to my laptop tethered to the xv6800. Download speeds have been typically around 1.0 Mbps, sometimes going up to 1.5 Mbps for a while.
I am a believer. Simply fantastic.

Ok this has beaten like a dead horse. Disable means it is enabled and selecting it will disable it and vice-versa.
Its kinda an opposite thing and by changing it you have done what it said.
We Verizon folks just wanna know why we dont have the option in the #778 menu. Is it just cuz of the cross carrier differences and can only access Sprint Rev. A, and not Verizon Rev. A.
Found this on the Titan Upgrading etc.. section:

I work in the switch and logged into the network side and see REV-A session on mine and speed tests bear it out, but the phone has no REV-A indicator. Trust me, if you have REV-A coverage where you are it is working.

Appears we may be in luck it just doesnt show we have it. Thanks madman34

Eh lots of people are posting tests with it enabled/disabled. Some people say its on, some say its off. Where is the clear cut answer. Mine isnt that far off from others and mine is "off"

Either way the speed is till slower than prior to the Rev A update.

3G working on my AT&T Tab

Ok excuse my ignorance cause I'm still working around on figuring out Samsung, Android, and Rooting for this as it's much different than my Nexus One.
Ok this may be stupid but I put in my SIM cards for my Nexus into the Galaxy Tab. The 3G wouldn't work. And it's because the APN is set for broadband. Ok, cool. I figured I would need a special SIM card dedicated to tablets. But I thought I could be slick and set up a new AT&T APN set up and set up the wap.cingular account. But it won't let me set it up because wap.cingular seems to be blocked out???
So anyways here's the weird thing, I was deleting the APN account, but now I notice I have 3g service..... Wow weird. How can I have access to 3g now w/o setting up the wap service? When I switch it back to the broadband APN setting the 3g goes away. I have a dummy APN set up with the name ATT wap
And I never notice that with a SIMS card in the download button in the Market is switch to an AT&T button. Guess it only shows the download button when there's no SIMS card in?
Anyhow I can now get my 3g service now. Sorry if this been explain previously. Tried search couldn't find info on it.
Speed test shows 3036 dl 333 ul so I guess that from previously reading that upload speed are capped ~ 300
Will flash to the Euro was I'm comfortable with the instructions and research on it. I never flashed a Samsung and seems a bit trickier than nexus since I'm so used to Rom Manager and Clockwork Mod.

Yes I'm familiar with this thread as I have been watching it closely for the EURO firmware, but my thing is more about how I can get the 3g to work when I have a dummy APN account set, but it won't work on the ATT Broadband APN account.
I not ready to flash this till I'm fully comfortable with being able to do back ups, restores and flashs.

Ok this is exactly what I did.
I went to Mobile settings and went in to APN
It already had the AT&T Broadband APN set up.
I selected to Add New APN thru the menu button
I named it ATT wap
I couldn't enter wap.cingular under APN. It would let me fill in the rest of the information like User, MMSC, etc, but not wap.cingular. I don't know how but it worked. Maybe it's a glitch within the firmware.
At that point I used the backed button and got the notification "The APN cannot be empty"
I selected exit and the 3G icon was at the top. Here's the pics show the 3G icon

How about a pic of the APN settings screen instead?

No point. There's no info entered at all. That's the whole point. I never set up anything but for whatever reason when I select ATT wap 3G icon appears.

[SOLUTION-FIX] Wifi is connected, but no internet connection!

Hi!
I saw that a lot of people have trouble with secured wifi/router! Wifi is connected,full signal,but when u go on internet,internet connection is very slow,or it says "that there's no internet connection" . I found one easy solution:
1. Go to router page (mine is: 192.168.2.1)
2. Enter Username / Password (Default: user/user or. admin/1234 ...)
3. Go to wireless security settings and tick WPA(TKIP) or WPA2(AES+TKIP) --> MIXED option in my router settings .
4. Ok
5. Router will restart.
6. Forgot old wifi network and connect to new one.
7. Enjoy!
My wifi is now faster too!

I have tested it,for works like a charm. It loads google home page and google store in 1-2 seconds,before I change settings it loads in 10 seconds or It didn't load!
I found solution,because on new iPhone 5 was same problem with wifi like on our x8:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uh7RbtqLMzM&feature=player_embedded

I can confirm, this works

Oh bro, what an idea. I never thought it could be solved like that...even mine's google loads in about 10 seconds... and i thought browsing on the X8 would be always the last option...
Thanks for the useful post :good:
I'll try it ASAP

Really? Does it work?

Well i have a 50% similar problem.. On stock my X8 don't even show my router name(Time_Machine) in WiFi settings.
But on GB it shows the network and works perfectly.
I repaired it with Update service.
Any idea where the problem is ?

No difference on ics , maybe cause it's accelerated the hardware
Tnx anyways

I'm going crazy all the day... thanks!! Work perfectly on my x10 mini pro!

Sorry for answering on such old post. Used this solution with my Xperia Z3 (D6603). It connected, but had no internet (also reported it). Set it to mixed, and it works now! Wow, who could have thought such an solution would work...
