3g problems

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!

Network problem with Blackstone

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:

which options are present?

Please Help Me Activate my Uni's 3g Connection

Hello! Everyone,
I read a lot regarding on how to configure the settings of my Uni Dopod 900 in order to use 3g. However I failed to get the info I need. So now I decided to get some help.
I am not using 3g so much in the past months for I have access in WiFi hot spots in my area, however I've been traveling a lot these past months that I realized that I needed a 3g connection for some places doesn't have internet access.
I've just called their customer support but they are not useful at all. I have a dopod 900 running in windows mobile 5 with Globe SIM card in it. The problem is I can't connect to 3g using my dopod 900. I just configure the APN and setup the proxy according to the posts that I've read. And also according to my service provider's instruction (Globe |Philippines|). Still I can't connect.
Please help me activate my 3g connection. Thanks!!!

T-mobile Internet Frequency

I have a Samsung I9000 and recently added internet onto my plan, though it only says edge internet. Is there anyway to get it to 3g?

Which country? You never rooted your device and also didn't plan it? Which modem?

Maybe you can check if your phone is forced on 2g!
Go to Settings -> Wireless -> Mobile -> Network (sorry i got i9001 italian! )
Here i can choose between:
_GSM (2g)
_WCDMA (3g)
_Auto GSM/WCDMA (3g, but switch on 2g when there's no signal)
If you have GSM or "2g only" that's the problem

Its a GT-I9003, I do not know what country it is from and I tried the network function it only gives me 2G stills.

Is it possible to get 3g on this phone??

I'll try to explain in different way
Follow the 4-step i made in attached image, what do you see?
(last image show what you should choose to have 3g network)
As you can see on gsmarena (sorry i cannot post links), your phone is theoretically perfectly able to use 3g!

First of all, if you haven't done it already, put the "gsm/wcdma" (or something similar, it has to have both of them anyway) setting on mobile networks. If you still can't get 3g, try searching for all available mobile networks. When the search ends, select a 3g network according to your carrier (e.g. vodafone 3g if your sim is vodafone).

i think the problem is with with band.in phone description it sais GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz(2G) - WCDMA 850/2100MHz(3G),but in mtk engineer i can't select wcdma 900 and wcdma 2100 doesn't apear(band for 3g for vodafone) so i think this is motive i can't conect 3g.can i do somthing about that??
