Hi all, i've recently upgraded my radio rom and os to radio rom 1.41 and os to wm6 now i know that with the tytn breeds i.e mda vario,tytn,spv M3100 u can get speeds of up to 1.8meg from 3.5g. I'm on t-mobile uk using a debranded spv m3100 the phone show's up the H sign and when i click on it it say's t-mobile (Hsdpa) but my speeds have been slower then 3g for the past couple of days sometimes http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed say's that my connection is only 120kb/s other times it's 300kb/s. once i've had 895kb/s from the connection, at the moment it's showing up on the phone 4 full bars and the h to say i'm using hsdpa & getting 160kb/s with 3g i've had speeds of 333k/bs , other times my signal strengh drops right down to 1 bar and switches between hsdpa & 3g like every 2 minutes or so, i thought that once u've got a hsdpa enabled phone & the area where your using it with your network is hsdpa enabled u should be able to get 1.5meg (t-mobile uk max hsdpa speeds) or is there other things to consider, i have got hsdpa enabled on both the phone & my account (on w&w pro) & the mast for the network is right in front of my house & it is hsdpa enabled for my area so that should'nt make any differnce surly, hope somebody can explain how come my connection on both my phone & laptop is up & down more times then a tart's knickers instead of staying still. thx my spl for my phone is 2.10ipro & the phone is sim unlocked & supercid aswell

Well 1.5mg is ambitious but 500 to 1000 is in reality more like it.
Less than 500 is not HSDPA. Have you enabled the HSDPA on the phone. It's off by default. Secondly there are cases reported where T-Mobile say it's enabled their end but isn't and it takes 2 or 3 calls to different folk before it really is.

Hi mike yes hsdpa is enabled on the phone as i've checked in htc-tweak what came with the rom i'm using and it does show the H on the screen also it show's up t-mobile (hsdpa) and i have rang up t-mobile to have it enabled and they said they would send me a service txt out but never recived that, and i've rang up twice and they keep saying that hsdpa is enabled do i need to ring them back up to make 100% sure that i have got enabled ? thx on one last note hsdpa is enabled as i've just done a test with http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed again and clicked on the 600 file and got a massive speed increase from when i last tried it, it was around 200 kb/s this time a stonking 905kb/s the second time i tried i got 1000kb/s does the speed vary @ times of the day as the 905kb/s & 1000kb/s is the very first time i've seen them sort of speeds from the connection, usally between 400 - 600 kb/s
I don't know if it's the upgrade of the radio rom,operating system or what now as I,ve just done another test with dslreports.com/mspeed and got a bloody low speed of 20kb/s no wonder web pages were taking about a minute to appear on screen and it's dropped right back to 3g and 2 bars in signal. Have I messed something up in the phone? for hsdpa to be like this? or am I going about it all the wrong way
1, hsdpa is enabled on the phone (it show,s up next to the networks name t-mobile hsdpa)
I have sethsdpa.exe /enabled in config.txt in windows on the phone and yes I do have SetHSdpa.exe in windows
3) is the version of the radio rom I use the problem that is 1.41.00.300 downloaded from xda itself thx again as I,m thinking 3,ve bricked the phone somehow
Your experience sound pretty much like mine. I am also using my M3100 now on T-Mobile. I have been informed that ordinary 3G will only give you highest speeds of approx 250kbps - 320 kbps so anything you are getting above that is HSDPA.
Also using dlsreports your results will vary quite a lot as the size of sample 600k to 1meg really isn't enough to give you an accurate reading. You should get something like IPDashboard or another gprs monitor with a graph and download a file from a known fast server preferably with low pings. Monitor that speed and see what it averages out as you're downloading it if you want an accurate idea of exactly what you're getting.
HSDPA is also dependent on usage, it doesn't matter if the transmitter is in your garden, if there are a lot of people using it then this will affect your speed.
speed does matter on where you are located and the number of channels available to your device's hsdpa chip. i do encounter the varying speed at the same location depending on the time of day no matter which device i used
thx all for the replys, i seem to have fixed it for some reason speeds have synced quite nicly now and staying still at between 950 kb/s - 1000 kb/s, if you wanna know what i did, i went into start,settings,connections usb to pc and unticked the box for advanced networking for activesync, rebooted the hermes as i was trying to remove the orange splash screen and cant get mtty.exe working as it says cant connect to usb port or something like that, so i rebooted the phone and decied to come to xda's website to find a answer and omg the web site tock about 0.1 sec to load instead of having to wait about 5 secs for it to load, so gonna do some more testing of the connection without the box ticked to see if it has settled down, if it has i'm gonna be laughing me face off and it's nearly as fast as my home broadband connection then as that's only 1meg what does that usb to pc advanced activesync do anyroad and why would that make any differnce to speeds over a usb connection? thx again

Oh I remember some info on here somewhere on the things you could do with Advanced USB to PC connection. However the general guidance here is do NOT check the advanced USB>PC connections box - basically this can screw up the active sync connection.
But, what possible connection this has to your HSDPA connection I don't know. Maybe it has nothing to do with it and it was just the re-setting that cleaned things out and improved the connection.
Anyway, your speeds now look pretty decent/good
Mike
Mike been using me laptop all day with my i dont know wht u can call it now spv m3100 or tytn over vpn back to the office so i can remote control the servers there and the connection has never gone down past 900kb/s always staying around 1meg, so it does look like the connection has stabled and i hope it stays like this , but i'm gonna lose it on wensday for a few days as i'm gonna be working in Norwich and cant get 3g or even a good signal for gprs where i'm going, nver mind at least starbucks has t-mobile hotspots which i have an account for, thx again, @ the moment a radio staion i'm listering to is buffering like hell over hsdpa, doesnt do it on the phone tho with resco radio :-( i know why that it is got vpn going, downloading email & chatting to the missues aswell as downloading some files from xda, no wonder it's slow lmao thx agian
I can confirm that unchecking the "Enable advanced networking" box *seems* to increase my speed, but I can't explain why. Ran 5 600k speed tests at dslreports.com with it checked, speed averaged 210kbit. Unchecked, rebooted, average went up to 621.
Didnt change anything..all of a sudden cant connect to the 3g network..It wont show the icon ( 3g) Just has The G icon and now turned to E..
I just did a master reset ( the problem was happening before, hence the reset) to hopefully fix the issue.. now it just gives "E" instead of the usual 3g and I cannot make video calls or connect to the HSDPA.. I heard there was network issues today...I am in Brampton Ontario.. I have other family members with the Samsung A706 and 3g access is perfect as usual.. I also had the Roger's guy to reset my account and took out the battery etc.
Strange..any thoughts or advice..solutions??
Same problem to me
Hello stogats,
I'm having the same issue with my X01HT... And i'm still out of 3G... Any updates from your side about this problem?
Thanks in advance...
Best regards,

Same for me
I had Fun-Keys Rom working perfectly, and like a dumy, I put the new vp3g_3.62.3 because.. well I can't just let things alone. No 3G, no Skype. Tried Fun-Key's again. Nothing. Tried Schaps_WM6Pro_WWE_4.00_Full. Nothing..
Now no 3G, No Skype,
If anyone can help...
Thanks!!!
try to d/l new wm6 release from htc.com, had cooked rom that frequently lost 3G, new wm6 from htc seems to work great.
Hello, my first post here.
I've had Xperia for a few months now. But something is really bothering me.
When on HSDPA, I can never get more than 400kps speed on Xperia.
Either it's connected to PC, or stand alone.
Is this a problem with Xperia or is it just me?
My friend sat next to me and got 1700kps speed on the same net.
Could you tell me the speeds you get?
And if there is a fix for it?
Thanks to everyone who reads this, and sorry to bother.
does it display the H in the upper bar ?
I get about 400 kb too i dont know why it dont really bother me. Maybe it's a network issue, im on att NYC on the 15 dollar plan
Of course it is H in the bar
I'm not a noob if that's what you're wondering.
I have 2-3 bars on H, but still. When I had HTC Diamond, it was faster on the same net. I've checked with the company and there no problem there.
That's why I came to you guys for help.
That's weird. I got about 800Kbps at work and about 1.3 Mbps at home. Is this the first time you noticed getting no more than 400 kbps?
same speed since i got it
thought at first that it was my location that was the problem but thats not the case.
in the biggest cities i still only get about 400kps.
can there be anything that needs to be changed in the phone?
i tried with my girlsfriends simcard, but still noe difference.
it is very annoying, since i need acceptable speed when i use it with my work computer.
dont want to send my phone to shop either, the service time is usually a whole month.
hard to live without my xperia now.
when connected to wifi, the speed is very good at almost 3000kps. so there is something really wrong with only the radio or whatnot.
i was hoping that maybe there was a tweak or something.
It probably has something to do with your network data connection.
Go to Start->Setting->Personal tab choose Phone->Band tab. Check your GSM/UMTS band. Mine set to Auto but my X1i does not support 850Mhz band so I get to use their 1900Mhz band instead.
do you and your friend have an x1i or x1a?
I'm in norway
So here we only get X1i. And that it what I got. It works great besides the slooow network. Tried to change all the settigns inn network and connections. But still no difference.
Which site did you use to do the speed test? (i cant find any that would work on that stupid "i dont want to support flash".........
Yuu can increase the download by some settings like TCP recieve window (thats on the normal PC side maybe you have to change it here to?)
EDIT:
Have done some reasearch and found that the optimal setting for a 7,2Mbps connection (max HSDPA for xperia) would be ~130.000 the max you can set in advanced is ~96.000 and the default of ~65.000
I did this on my windows 2000 server machine(vista and forward has this on autochange) and download speeds increaased from around 700 to about 950 KB/s on an 8Mbit downlink!
Maybe a registery fix to get this higher?
Hi everyone.
Since upgrading to 1.66, I have noticed something rather annoying and hope someone can provide a solution to fixing it.
When I was on 1.48, the H icon at the top of the screen would always be there. I was effectively connected to the internet all the time, and was able to leave MSN messenger etc open and I'd always be online.
When I upgraded to 1.66, the icon at the top of the screen is always 3G. It only changes to H when I'm actually using the internet. If I open the browser and check out a website, the 3G changes to H and the website begins to load. It changes back to 3G when any internet connectivity is idle.
I can only access the internet when H is displayed, but I want it connected permanently like it was on 1.48.
It's like the phone is disconnecting from the internet when I'm not using the browser. It's not very useful when I need to keep MSN messenger open all day.
Thanks.
It's not disconnected when it says 3G. It simply switches to the slower mode when nothing is being transferred to save resources. As soon as something actually needs to be transferred it goes to H again to get the fastest available speed.

Ah, okay. I can't seem to visit any websites when 3G is displayed though. Perhaps that could be to do with my operator settings or something?
i have had the same problem since installing the sms patches.... i have since hard reset to remove the patch... and testing it now... it is very anoying because it keeps my msn disconnected...
I'm using Dutty's 1.5 (it's a great ROM!) with a 2.07 radio and I've got the same problem..
When it says 3G, nothing seems to come through.. when it changes to H, the webpage starts loading...
Does anyone have a fix to make it not switch back and forth between H and 3G? It gets frustrating because it often takes 1 or 2 seconds to switch between the modes....

Let us know how to you get on because I need this fixed.
My MSN stays connected fine in 3G. Push email works perfect too.
The icons only show the available type of signal.
They don't mean you are connected.
When you do connect by opening an app that uses the appropriate signal then the icon changes to show the signal that you are connected with.
If H is not available in a particular area then it will stay on 3G and if that's not available then G with show.
Hey guys. I'm on my 4th HD2 handset now since upgrading my vodafone contract one month ago. First two handsets had similar probs as allot of you have had, i.e sms not working, alarm not working etc etc. I upgraded to the 1.66 rom when i got my 3rd handset from phones4u. I then started getting the same issues as you just described- internet only profficiently working when H coverage is active. When it goes below that then nothing happens at all. I returned the handset today and got a new one. This one already had the 1.66 Rom update installed and sure enough, had the same internet issues. I started fiddling with settings and changed the band setting from 'auto' to 'WCDMA'. ( just trial and error, so senior members please chime in if i have given bad advise!) This seems to keep the network coverage constantly in H and since changing it several hours ago i have not had any issues.
Start> Settings>Wireless controls>Phone>Band> Change Auto to WCDMA
Give it a go!

Wouldnt that make the phone stick to the 3G/HSDPA/WCDMA band only and cause the phone to have no reception around certain areas that still operate on 2G GSM?
Exact.
I rather tend to do the opposite for that reason if I have trouble (sometimes you're in areas where 3G reception is low and it keeps switching between 3G and EDGE all the time), I'll force EDGE only. It's slower, but at least the connection is constant.
When at work mine fights bewteen 3g and h and both are like 1 bar signals, i'd rather disable both when at work as G is full signal.
Is there a way?
Hello, I am hoping someone can help me.
Recently i have noticed my phone keeps losing signal, often seeing no bars are even ! , i have not performed any recent hacks / mods it just started happening.
If i change the base band from AUTO to GSM i get signal , if i select WCDMA i get ! , i am assuming that since its default at AUTO that when its switching to WCDMA its messing up (altho i really would like advice if this is true?)
i have softreset and hardreset and currently have no 3rd party cabs etc installed on my o2 stock rom yet the problem still exists.
any help people ..
How old is your sim card? I had a similar problem a couple of years back, turns out the older type sim cards aren't capable of doing 3G, walked in the store told them the problem, promptly given a new sim card, 2 hours later all up and running again.
Never used the stock rom but may also be worth checking in comm manager, there may be a toggle switch for turning 3g on or off
originally last year when i got hd2 i had an old sim which was replaced, my stock rom doesnt have the toggle (im sure i can turn it on with a tweak) , however the problem isnt switching it on or off .. the problem is when its on my phone wont get a signal and it used to work
