Hi,
This may be a very basic question ... but, here goes.
I recently activated 3G on my HD2, with Hyperdroid ROM. The technical staff of my operator tell me to keep my HD2 on "Dual Mode 3G/2G". I have searched all settings ... but, I can't find this setting anywhere on my HD2. 3G is activated by the operator for my phone ... but, I am seeing "E" only.
Any help ? In detail, pls.
cheers,
- manish
type *#*#4636#*#* in your phone dialer
phone info->set preferred network type
Thanx j4n87 ... 3G works now. Just patchy 3G reception where I stay ..

Hi I would like you to help me with my network settings.
I'm from Mexico city and I bought a HTC Blackstone few days ago. First of all let me tell you that in my country we don't have a provider for HTC phones, we just have some of them but the old ones. So I bough my Blackstone from a US online-store.
I did Hard SPL on my phone and installed Laurentius26 "L26_THDV5" ROM. After that I took some time to configure the network settings from my country and everything was ok. But my problem is that my Blackstone is not working on 3G mode, it's using EDGE. Actually I don't know how far the differences are, but I can feel that it's slower with Youtube or Internet than my previous phone (a Nokia N75). I don't know if I changed something with the new ROM or if there is some way to fix it and work on 3G mode because actually I'm paying that service with my provider (Telcel).
Please, could someone help me with it?
The Nokia N75 supports the 850MHz / 1900MHz 3G bands.
The HTC Touch HD supports the 900MHz / 2100MHz 3G bands.
Depending on your provider you will not have 3G at all.
are you sure ?
I've started a thread about this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=477426
in the menu: phone - options - BAND
which options are present?
untill now I use my HD2 with Vodafone so no problem at all, but from today I start using my LEO with a WCDMA band on UMTS. Does anyone know if "My Location" service has any issue with this kind of band ? ....... because untill now I couldn't mannage to use "My Location" on WCDMA. thnx
P.S. If I add my town with a new location there is no problem, but I don't know how to put my town on the SENSE instead of my location

Hi,
I guess you use an RDS Digi Mobil card now.
I'm facing the same issue since I bought the phone in November. No permanent fix yet.
The bad news is that this won't be your only problem. Data connection has some lags and sometimes stops working, at least from my experience.
The good news is that you can try to flash a good custom ROM, which diminishes the issues to an acceptable level.
Hope this helps.
PS: This seems to confirm my suspicion that this issue is related to the lack of 2G functionality.
thnx for reply 27firesnake, so I guess it's all about the radio ? or just the RDS radio relay doesn't provide the information to the phone ?
By the way , I didn't experienced any lags in data conection untill now.

It appears that the first few days everything works fine, others have experienced the same. I read almost all the posts on this issue and replied on a few. If the problem starts for you too, you may read my posts in my profile under statistics.
Can you please share your network settings, I hope I didn't miss somethig all this time...
...I only noticed now that you have a custom ROM aboard .
I tried Dutty's HG v.05, multilang 1.5 and I run now the Artemis 2.9b.
Did you try these, how do you like the one you have?
so my network settings are : Ntwork Type - WCDMA , Band Frequency - UMTS (2100+900) , as I was instructed from RDS Constanta ( if you let network settings on "AUTO" it might apear some lags, they say ......).
I didn't try Dutty's and Artemis. Now I'm running Sone HD2 v1.33 (6.5.x) and untill now I used Topix 1.2 (6.5) - I'm fully satisfied from both. U should try

I did the same.
Plus, under My ISP > Cellular line (GPRS) > Name: RDS; APN: internet; everything else left blank
Also I set HSDPA only in Advanced Network settings, as HSUPA is not available in RDS (as far as I know)
I didn't know about HSUPA availability on RDS, but my ISP settings are the same, thnx.
So my question : is there any way to put on SENSE instead of "My Location" my town (Constanta)? ...... as if I add new location, is no problem at all to download wheater data .
Add city
Yes, click on the clock in Home screen, add Constanta manually and select.
I did the same and it works.
thnx , it's working.
My HD2 has been losing 3G signal and switching to Edge and I want to lock it to 3G. Is it possible on T-Mobile US with stock ROM? I looked in settings and couldn't find anything.
I was able to do this on my Samsung Blackjack 2 on ATT when I had these problems.
I would go to Adminsettings>Network & Call Settings>Network Mode>WCDMA.
There, I was able to choose between AUTO, GPRS, or WCDMA to lock the radio to 3G Worked great in areas where the radio was frequently switching between towers.
Anything similar for HD2?
Here's a screenshot
Yes there is a way. Go to Phone> Options and scroll all the way down to Baseband.Now select WCDMA.
Hello I would like to do the same thing on a HTC TyTN II. How can I lock it in 3G mode on Windows Mobile 6.5?

maybe ask in the kaiser section???
Really, if its winmo 6.5, it should be the same.
I would ask there, but I guess a generic WinMob. application is necessary.
Hello!
I'm using Rafdroid HD von my HD2 now for 2 weeks and I'm verry happy with it, i just have one problem (dont know if it depends on de android build or on the hd2 or whatever...)
I'm using gsm all the time because it has less battery drain in stand by, but when i want to use data for surfing etc. i switch to wcdma. on my x8 wich i had before this was no problem, it switched within seconds between the networks. Also the HD2, BUT it doenst start a data connection. i just can talk but no data.
in "wireless and network" the option for wireless data is checked, but the whole option is not clickable and it says "starting" (dont know if it says starting, i use the german version, there it say "einschalten..."
when i restart the hd2 then the data connection is working. so all times when i want to switch the data connection i need to restart my hd2.
is there a way to solve this problem?
sorry, i've searched the forum, but i haven't found anything
thanks and best regards, chris
No one who knows something about this issue?
tried this yet??
enter: *#*#4636#*#* in your dialer
go to phone info
go all the way down
now you can manually switch between edge or 3G
(default should be WCDMA preferred)
Thank you, I've foudn this idea before but it doenst change anything.
I'm using the whole day only gsm/edge, but when i need more data (searching something on google etc.) i would like to switch to 3g. after this, back to wcdma. on my x8 this worked well, on the hd2 it looks like it cant start the data connection when switching between the two types of network...
