Hey all.. I just got my unlocked G2 to work on my local carrier's 3G. Im from the Philippines which only supports Band I (2100) UMTS. Turned out that my old sim wasn't 3G ready/activated and I wasnt able to connect to the 3G network before. Bought a newer sim, inputted the right APN settings and I was good to go. Now I can browse and access the internet/market on my phone wherever I go.
The G2 is indeed an international device. Thanks for all the help.

Hi. Newbie in this forum. Bought an htc tytn from u.s. but am from Phil using smart carrier with gsm band at 1800. after going thru sev topics, properly identified device as Herm200 rom:1.18.255.3 07/22/06 extrom:1.18.255.106 radio1.03.03.10 protocol32.34.7010.01H.
All phone features working perfectly except for 3G. Smart carrier people cannot help. What could be wrong. Vendor says 3g works on 2100 band. Confusing statement. What can be done? Connects to umts but when video call is pressed will not connect.
Which carrier are you on again? Smart Carrier? .. From what I know no carriers in the US support video calling .. Also, Cingular is the only GSM carrier in the US with 3G which runs on the 1900Mhz band ..
also .. what does your phone display while connected "G" or "U" ... what are your phone band settings .. can you also goto dslreports.com/mspeed and see what speeds are you getting ..
According to GSM world SMART (a Philippine operator) uses UMTS 2100, which your TyTN does definitely support.
Have you checked if your SIM card is 3G-enabled? Most 3G networks require special USIMs for 3G usage.
I just learned, that Cingular uses UMTS 850 and 1900 to be exact. According to the American HTC website the Cingular 8525 supports "Tri-band UMTS/HSDPA high speed wireless data network support (2100MHz and 850/1900 MHz), Quad-band GSM®/GPRS/EDGE worldphone".
Does anyone know if there is a special hardware version, that supports UMTS850 & 1900 or will my European TyTN work on those networks, too?
TyTN is tri-band UMTS .. 850/1900/2100 .. so it should work on these networks without any issues ...
And my bad .. didnt realize that you are trying to use the TyTN in Phillipines ..
You should also check, if the called party has a 3G signal, while you call him. Further make sure video calls are activated by your network operator.
3g problems in the philippines
Everything you guys mentioned in order(am in a 3g area calling a 3g enabled party with a 3g sim card). Even the tech staff behind Smart Communications cannot make it work. Displays U and u. But video call cannot push thru even if pic on front camera shows. There is 1 thin line( or command?) stopping it from connecting. My last option is to borrow my friend's unit and see if her unit's 3g works here then it's my device that's a problem. Thnks for the input. Keep it coming.

Hi. I don't know how they did it but Smart Communications did it! Apparently and ironically their 3g sim card is not compatible with the htc tytn but their regular sim is. Thanks all.
are u using 3G now in Phil ?
Is there a Globe perpaid 3G simcard ?
3g problems no more
Hi everyone. After my first thread i have finally got everything on my tytn working: 3g, mms, internet, phone. The problem was on the settings. Smart and Globe, the primary carriers in the Philippines can both work on the phone if the settings are right.
sectorlord,
yes there is 3g and hsdpa along with gsm and gprs and wap in the philippines. and yes you can buy globe prepaid 3g sim card.
glad to hear you've got your problems solved jjc!
I've looked everywhere online and can't find any solution, please help.
I got my phone from France (unlocked, unbranded, not rooted), and now i'm using it with tmobile usa in las vegas where 3g, 4g is everywhere. Since day 1, i never saw a 3g sign on my phone, now i just gut the internet plan, and i tried everything, i'm still on EDGE.
I couldn't send mms, with the help of tmobile support, i set up an APN with epc.t-mobile.com, and it helped me send mms,but still can't get 3g.
I tried other APNs such as wap.voicestream.com, or hiptop something, still doesn't work.
I tried to set wcdma only, and can't get any signal at all. Anif i set up gsm only or wcdma or gsm, i get phone signal with EDGE.
These are the step i took to try to get 3g by looking online.
I inserted my friend's sim card in -he has 4g on his my touch- and it's still on EDGE. So it' not the sim card's problem...
Everything else works great, i just don't know what to do to get 3g, i'm not even asking for 4g. It's just too bad to have a badass phone and get stuck on EDGE.Anybody has an idea on how to fix this? Thank you so much for your help.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I'm afraid to say that there is no solution.
In order to get 3G working on TMo US, you need a phone that supports the both the AWS 1700/2100 bands.
The Euro Desire HD supports 2100Mhz, but not 1700Mhz and thus you will never be able to get TMo US 3G.

My new LG G2 D802 seems to only want to conect to GSM, if I have it set to any other setting like GSM/Wcda auto, or LTE etc it wont even connect to GSM let alone the other networks? To be clear i can use the phone set to GSM, but not when set to the other settings, just keeps searching for network
I am in New Zealand on Vodafone network which is
2G - 900/ 1800 MHz GSM, GPRS
3G - 900/ 2100 MHz UMTS, HSPA, HSPA+, DC-HSPA+
4G - 1800 MHz LTE
so I think the phone should connect shouldnt it? I am in 3G/WCDA coverage (not in 4g currently to try)
Any ideas?
the phone is stock rom, rooted, Xposed etc, Kitkat 4.4.2
Thanks
Edit, I just clicked network operators and searched and it came up with Vodafone Gsm which i have selected. So i take it my phone cant see a 3g network?
I think I have solved it. I went into the hidden menu and changed the modem settings to my carriers frequency instead of auto. So fingers crossed. II havedone a reboot and it is still working too.
So I had 3g for the day or so and then its gone again, I tried my wifes sim card which is on a different network and seemed to work, so i will get a new sim card for myself and hopefully be ok. my current sim card works ok in her phone, it just struggles to find 3g in mine for some reason.
Got a new sim card now but it still struggle to find 3g maybe because I'm not in a main town centre but I should still have service here as I am in there coverage area and my wife gets coverage on her phone
Tried updating to lollipop but problemremains. It is disconnecting maybe because of poor 3g reception but then struggles to connect to 2g again. Only solution to have working phone is ro have it set on gsm only all the time. Not good
I have a new SM-G935FD purchased in the UAE. The software version is MMB29K.G935FXXU1APD1. The phone has a "United Arab Emirates" section in the About page.
I travel a lot. I generally use a local SIM when I am in a country for some time. Right now I am in France. I am using a SIM from Bouygues Telecom but I have no 4G/LTE service at all. The phone is connecting at H+ and also at 3G, but it is not showing 4G/LTE at all.
I will be in several other European countries as well as the US soon. I specifically purchased this phone because it has all the LTE bands for the countries I spend time in. This same SIM does give me LTE connections on Bouygues when I use it in my old phone (a Motorola X 2nd Gen). I had expected this phone to just work on LTE everywhere that I typically go.
I have looked through these forums and see a thread or two about others with LTE problems. But no clear solutions.
I have tried various apps such as LTE Discovery (no luck) as well as 4G LTE Switcher - using that if I set "LTE only", I get no service at all, and then have to reboot the phone before I get service back.
Is there something I need to do to get LTE?
Thanks.
Have you put the SIM in the correct slot?

Yes, the bottom slot. The SDcard is in the top slot. The SIM is showing in the phone as "SIM1".
Strange. I have a G935FD and it works with LTE no problems. I've used it in Singapore and Indonesia, with different SIMs and all work.
In Settings - Mobile Networks - Network Mode, it's set to LTE/3G/2G?

Yes it is. I've tried changing to one of the non-LTE modes and back, but no change.
In the About device / Status / SIM Card status page, I see Mobile network type as UTMS. Shouldn't that have LTE and, if so, how do I change it?
Mine says the same, but I'm only connected to 3G at the moment, so I don't know if it's normal it not. I have a 4G card in, but I'm out of my area's 4G network range.
Edit: Actually I was connected to my wifi. Now I'm connected to my 3G and it says HSPA+ now
Edit again: Ok, so my phone is jumping between 3G and H+, which is what's changing.

Ah, mine is doing the same. I see Mobile network type jumping between UMTS and HSPA+ if I watch for a while. Obviously that field is a status field, not a setting field.
Thing is, I am in an area with full LTE coverage.
At least you seem to be confirming that this should work. Still need to figure out what the problem is.
I have the same Problem in Spain. With a Vodafone Card I dont have 4G Connection (The same card in a the Galaxy S5 of my wife works with 4G). But with a Yoigo Card I have 4G Connection. The software version is MMB29K.G935FXXU1BPH6. The phone has a "United Arab Emirates" section in the About page too. Any Idea?
Thanks
Hey everyone!
I just bought brand new HTC 10 Sprint (unlocked) phone off Ebay.
I can make calls normally, but I only have Edge network (not 4g as I used to have in my previous HTC 10)
Is there any way to make it work? I don't really know much about those networks but I learned that Sprint is CDMA network and that is somehow different to what I have.
My provider supports GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA/LTE.
If I change preferred network mode (now automatic) to LTE/CDMA I get no reception at all.
If anyone knows the solution or can tell me where to look i would be thankful.
EDIT: The Ebay listing says the phone supports:
NETWORK
Technology
GSM / HSPA / LTE
Cheers,V
