Hi, i currently live in toronto, canada, and i use rogers as my provider. when i put my sim card (from rogers) and turn on the phone, the phone says that it the network cannot find something (provider i think), and i should update my software. it then takes me to the "network connections" where i choose my country, and my provider. i notice that Canada is not in that drop down box. can someone please tell me how i can go about choosing Canada, or do i have to flash with a modded firmware instead of an original firmware? please answer!

Same thing happened here, I live in Brazil and it is not in the drop down list. I just choose dismiss (or something like that) as soon as the first message appears, followed by "do now show message again" (or smth like that).
Been using the phone without any problems so far.
oh yea? ok t hats cool. do you think you can help me out then..
i dont understand what 3G EDGE GPRS are.. like because im with the provider, i do not want to be charged more than just calling people.
when i plug in my sim card, do you know what is supposed to be displayed on the top of the dopod, near the Signal strength?
and could you tell me what each of those three mean? thankss

Answer:
3G-Video calling using the secondary camera (which we can't use yet in canada)
EDGE- Basically high speed data transfer (since you are with rogers, I believe there are data plans that support that feature)
GPRS-Never use it, cuz it charges on your airtime using the towers

In Calgary downtown Rogers services, my CHT9100 can get 3G signal (showed small 3G icon on the top); other places alway has EDGE signal (showed small E icon instead).

Not really, the data(3G/EDGE) services in Canada is way too pricy yet, I change the default setting to "disable" the connections...

ok, then normally if i dont want to be charged with anything other than having signal strength and making calls, what normally shows near the signal strength? i guess my question really is: if i dont want EDGE, 3G or UTMS or anything, what should i be seeing beside the signal strength?

You can call Rogers and tell them you don't want any data services, then you should see a X icon right beside your signal strength level...
Ok when i put it in it says:
Network Wizard
Your current operator (30272) is not supported. You should obtain an update from your device vendor.
Would you like to select another network provider?
I want to put canada in it.. if anyone knows how to do it please post!!

Oh really?? Is that the 3G will be available to all Canada customers or just a few cities only?
But I cannot see this announcement in the Rogers website though.

I'm running original HTC WM5 firmware with the GPS it works great on Rogers =/
3G was available in Toronto since early 2007, but at the prices Rogers charges, they can go and **** themselves with a large steel pipe.

i called fido, and apparently (the perosn on the phone told me) that one of the two (3G or EDGE) is not charged. he said something about a price/kb for one of the two, and that the other one doesnt have a charge..

Agreed. I disabled all data way back when I had a regular phone. I kept getting random data charges when I never loaded my browser so I just disabled it. Anyway, I get the 3G logo, however, I haven't tested out the transfer rates or anything like that. I don't know if you can boost the signal or anything, I manage to make calls (which are surprisingly perfectly clear) with 1 bar.
I get the Edge logo on my phone in vancouver. I do know that they charge for Edge usage here and there was a big promo for unlimited Edge usage for about $40 bucks per month posted on craigslist.com. I know 3G network has been built, but probably a few good years before it's affordable to use.
Hey guys, so when I got the HTC Magic for AT&T's 3G bands, I always got and H up there in the status bar.
I also had the same area code for the area I reside in. Now I have a different area code (not specific to my area), do you think that could be the reason an H doesn't show up there?
Thanks
Are you using the stock rom? If so, you'll never get the 'H' there, even if you're actually on HSDPA.
Go to the dialer and enter:
*#*#4636#*#*
Phone Information should have Network Type:
It'll tell you if you're on HSDPA

ahh. yes and i looked there and i saw that it said HSDPA so that is why my curiosity rose... thank you. im gonna flash modaco's desire rom =]
Yes, on the stock ROM 3G could mean either UMTS or HSPA - it will never actually show H even if you're using HSPA. Area code, etc should have no effect. I believe AT&T has HSPA (or at least HSDPA) in every 3G-enabled tower.

So it seems... I flashed Modaco's Sense UI ROM today and there was the H is plain view, then restored a backup from the original ROM and the H was gone but still connected to HSDPA
Hi guys,
I just bought this phone, unlocked it and inserted my sim everything was fine until... I noticed the "edge" icon.
It wont connect to the Telcel 3G network, I know that this phone is for AT&T network but Telcel uses the same frequencies (UMTS 850/1900), I tried "forcing" it to WCDMA only but it wont find any Telcel network.
What can I do? Does anyone have experience with this kind of problems?

Aria comes with APNS setup for AT&T data only. It's a simple fix - you can manually enter the info under wireless settings to add access point data for your carrier or you can just root and flash CM6, with has a huge - enormous default APNS database.
Here's a link to how the same issue was solved on the Nexus One.

Thank you! I'll try this right now!
-------EDIT-----------
Ok I entered the APN info, restarted the phone and Edge Icon is still there, with the "settings" on *#*#4636#*#* I changed to "WCDMA only" and the phone cant find a telcel network, only movistar, What is the problem? Maybe there isnt a Telcel 3g network near my phone? I used to have an iPhone 3G and I never had a problem with 3G Any thoughts?

This works perfectly.
My wife's Aria went into some factory reset and lost 3g, now it's back thanks to this.
Hi there! My note fe can only get 3g. My model is n935k and I am a current an ATT user. I tried to force the phone to LTE only but when I did that, the phone was totally out of service. No network and no call service. I thought note fe LTE band will be worldwide, so is there any setting that I missed?

1. make sure your APN is ATT Nextgenphone (should have been auto-configured when you booted phone the first time) 2. Try reseting your network settings (this will remove bluetooth and wifi settings) settings->general management->reset->reset network settings and/or 3.Call ATT and make sure your account is (still) provisioned for LTE. i have the same model as you do and have no problem getting LTE service. picture below shows i'm connecting to LTE Bands 2, 4, 5 & 17.
I reset the network setting and still doesn't work. The apn is nextgenphone.

And I have tried some app like force phone to switch to lte. After forcing the phone to lte, the phone signal is lost and become emergency call only.
I had the same exact problem and I'm also on AT&T. Restarting the phone fixed it, at least for now.

if you haven't done this already, consider trying another SIM. I'd also post screen shots of your configurations; could be something we've missed in our attempts to help you resolve your issues.
