I've noticed there are a few South Africans on this forum. Anyways I have an HTC Aria which I brought in USA on AT&T's network. When I got back home in SA my brother (who has a HTC Hero) helped my flash the phone, or root, or whatever its called. Bottom line is the phone is now unlocked and working on Vodacom network and its running Froyo 2.2 100% no problems with apps or anything.
The major problem I am having is network related. I can't seem to get 3G or HSDPA on my Aria. My brothers Hero get's HSDPA signal no problem, the only thing my phone displays is a "G" above the signal meter. I've got Vodacom settings and I can connect to the internet with my phone, but it's slow cause it's only GPRS.
If I go to settings and change Network Mode to WCDMA only, then I don't get any service at all.
Can anyone help out?
Regards!

Hi,
is there anyone else that have problem with the 3G coverage in sweden? I'm using Tele2. Especial when the phone is "all clean" like after a rom update or hard reset.
On places i know there is 3G coverage it only says GSM, i have try the band settings and then i got 3G , BUT when it's out off 3G range i have no signal.
I tried my sim card in a Sony Ericsson, then i got full 3G coverage on the same spot. I got a new sim card, and no luck with that.
My friend had same problem with his phone, using Telenor. The strange thing is when we played around with the settings and left the phone on WCDMA a few days, then shift back to Auto in Network type it seems to work pretty good UNTIL i got the new rom. I tried the same metod and had no luck this time.
Anyone else that have experianced problem with 3G coverage in Sweden?
I experience the same problem with Telia. I had no problems before the last ROM-upgrade that came in april. Now the reception is very weak and the signal is just one dot in places there it was full before the upgrade. Please keep in touch if you find a solution.
I got the same problems and havnt done the new rom update yet, i think the 3g reception just was this bad and never thought about maby its the phone.. So if its someway to solve it id be very happy to know
As far as I know rom has nothing to do with it. Upgrade your radio
I think i found a solution that works.
I call a few people and found out this, go into Phone Settings, found the tab Network, put the "Network Selection" to Manual, press "Set Networks", wait a for a moment and when you got the list, move and check "Sweden 3G" (i got 2 of them) to the top of the list and after then put you provider below Sweden 3G, i got 6 Tele2 under and make sure that all are checked. So my list looks like this, (make sure that you have 3G on the spot you 're at when searching for networks)
Sweden 3G
Sweden 3G
24007
TELE2

After this i got 3G right away! And i have seen a gsm signal also when i lost the 3G.
Sweden 3G is a "network" that all 3G providers in sweden use. Then it up to your provider to put up more antennas for better coverage. So if you using Telia,Telenor,3,Tele2 etc you should use Sweden 3G.
It must be a problem with the "Auto search network" thing in HTC. The HTC Support lady told me that she got some calls about this thing, and not only for Touch HD.
I Tried with GoogleMaps on the way home from work, and it works perfect, and at last i got the speed of the map update thru 3G .. Realtime at Satellite View.
Tell me if it worked for you guys.

Tele2 and Telia(TeliaSonera) has their own 2G/GSM networks but share their 3G Network called Sweden 3G (SVENSKA UMTS NÄT) between themselfs.
Telenor inherited the old 2G/3G Network from (Europolitan later bought by) Vodafone who fled the Swedish scene years ago.
3 (Tre/Three) Has its own UMTS/3G network, but no own 2G network.
As you are a customer in this mixed Tele2/Telia network, you need a 64K SIM card. Speak to your customer service, and they will be able to help you.
I know that at least Telia is blocking less than 64k SIM cards in their 3G network.

I cahcked, and i got the 64k simcard already. Same problem, seems to be some problem with the phone. My friend uses telenor and got smiliar problem. I running on my solution that i wrote above and it works.

hey guys.. i took my HD2 to vietnam a couple of weeks ago and I used a local sim card.
I noticed that the signal over there (on Viettel) was a constant "H" as a default. I couldnt get the actual data connection to work (probably because I didnt have the correct internet settings).
Over here in Australia, the signal is always 3G (even though I know I'm in a HSDPA area). When I have an active data connection it changes to "H" temporarily until there is no data flowing through, then it changes back to "3G".
Can anyone shed any light on why this might be? Could it be something to do with the sim card itself? Back here in Australia, I've played with every setting I can find in the phone to try have the constant "H" and have not had any luck.
I get the same thing....an H....in Hong Kong, Manila, and other places. It seems that you are operating off of an HSDPA network, which is good!
Btw, Elly Tran Ha in vietnam really beautiful ^_^
HD2 using in Viet Nam ok, included VietTel, VinaFone, MobileFone and VietNamMobile networks on band 2G, 3G, 3G+, H
Elly Tran Ha is Hot Girl in VietNam, very...very XXX

But in Australia, we're operating off a HSDPA network too but the signal always stays on "3G". The phone only seems to connect to "H" when there is data flowing through.
The H in Vietnam (also HK, i might add) didnt drain any additional battery either....

Have you checked in your settings? Is "always use 2G" unchecked?

Yes i've tried everything on this phone and still not working, i uncheked the option "Always use 2G network" and still i got the same problem.
Was that phone meant to be used with Orange? If it was not it could be possible that it's the same thing as when you use a T-Mobile phone on at&t or vise versa; you can’t connect to 3G because both companies have different frequencies.

OK I know that there's diference between those 2 companies T-Mobile and Orange Dominicana but the specification of the cellphone are:
General 2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 900 / 1700 / 2100
and the network frequency that Orange has for 3G HSDPA is 900MHZ and the cell phone should be up and running with the 3G maybe the T-Mobile has another frequency about its 3G network but this cellphone supports also 900MHZ HSDPA that is my frequency here in DR., so there's nothing to fix this problem??
3G Orange Dominican Republic
only htc europe works with 3g orange Dominican republic
tmovile have dif 3g band
sry it will no work :-(
hello,
i have wildfire with stock froyo my network signal was fine till last week
i am from india here 3g is just launched its not fully started they just support browsing as of now
i registered for 3g this week since then i noticed i get very low signal for my network even when i am not connected for data connection
when i checked in about under settings network
there it shows network type as HSDPA
everything was fine before i registered for 3g
so is it because of the 3g coverage or something else
my provider is Vodafone india
please clear this doubt
thanks
Hi all,
Flashed the new (...015) baseband version to my e15a phone a few weeks ago (chose the correct 'a' baseband), and since then have not been able to get any 3G coverage in my home town which originally had almost perfect coverage, if I put my sim into other phones it will detect 3G, which leads me to believe the problem is my phone. Weird thing is, I still get decent 3g coverage in the city, and I can pick up the 3G signal on other networks in my home town, so I know my 3G signal hasn't been fried completely. I've tried restoring my phone to factory settings via PCC, re-installing the old baseband, and trying a new sim, all to no avail. Is it possible that i've partially fried the 3G receiving hardware in my phone?, or maybe vodafone (my network in Australia) runs on a different 3G frequency in my home town that this new baseband doesn't recognize? any other possible suggestions?
