Does anyone know why my Omnia 2 gets weak signal strength on At&t. I rarely get the 3g network and, at most, get 1 bar. However, the internet works fine and I love the phone but don't know if I need to go to Verizon to get better reception.
Tried At&t support but, other than upgrading the sim card, they won"t do anything with a non-at&t device. And since it was bought before the phone was launched in the U.S. I can't get support from Samsung. Are there some settings on the phone that can be changed to improve reception? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated - thanks.
Here's the network specs for the phone: GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 MHz, UMTS 850/1900 MHz, HSDPA 7.2Mbps, HSUPA5.76 Mbps

Try changing your band settings to WCDMA then 850+1900. Works great for my Touch HD T8285.
almost there - thanks
Thanks for your reply. But, after surfing the net I still can't figure out how to change these settings on the Omnia 2, ok I don't know how to do it on any phone. Is this something easily done, and if so, how?

Not sure on your phone but on mine go to settings, then phone, then band settings.
no band settings there either
Not that easy. I get phone, then settings, then the options are general, voice call, video call and message.
General sub folders are: call cost; caller id; own number; fixed dialing; auto answer; closed user group
Voice Call sub folders are: call barring, call forwarding, call waiting
Video Call - n/a
Message sub folders are call broadcast message, wap push message, voice mail, send text message options
I tried looking at the connections menu which yields:
My Internet - add a new modem; edit my proxy server; manage existing connections.
Manage existing allows you to change from media net or other connections and when you do that there are no options for changing band. Also if you try to create a new connection there is still no mention of band.

I am not sure if your phone has 850mhz, as far as I Know the omnia 2 i8000 has 900/1900/2100 compatibility and maybe that is why you are getting so weak signal,
Only the Bell Canada Omnia2 has 850mhz + 1900mhz so unless you have this one it won't work well with at&t 3G.

This is true, I have the GT I8000l version and the band settings are in the Omnia Settings/Network Settings/Band settings menu -- Mine is set to Automatic, though there are other choices including the WCDMA, GSM 900/1800 and GSM 850/1900. You must also enable HSPDA setting as well (same Network menu) and then reset your phone.
I get Great 3G+ / HSPDA speeds almost everywhere around Harrisburg, PA "EXCEPT" in my own HOME location (only Edge ) Just that I am behind a mountain so.....
Anyway, this lack of Home location 3G+ is causing me to place my Omnia 2 (Bell Canada version) up for sale as I was expecting 3G in my own home !!!! (probably going to Ebay this weekend. The phone is great though and the screen (OLED) is INCREDIBLE !!! I am running SPB mobile shell 3.0 (Lite rom installed) so phone is quite zippy without the widget mess though the original Bell rom can be reinstalled. ( I have on DVD ) Really ticked though about the lack of 3G* at home so I may be looking for HD2 or such --and settle for EDGE speed.
Thanks to XDA developers for considering and supporting some Non HTC phones such as OMNIA 2
Not true AT ALL!

I have the original Omnia II with the 1900mhz band and have not had a single problem with excellent 3G speeds in Chicago and surrounding suburbs.
I'm getting the exact same signal strengths I was getting when I had the ATT Fuze - which does have BOTH the 850 and the 1900 mhz bands.

Chicago might primarily be 1900mhz but Dallas (my home) and probably where the original poster is located is 850mhz so the i8000L from Bell would be a better choice and probably for everyone else so you could never be limited to 1900mhz.

I loved the Omnia 2 but the lack of Roms and not having xda support (not such much anymore now i guess) made me sell it and go back to my Rogers Magic. I'll probably wait for the HTC Obsession or maybe the HTC Bravo as my next phone i definitely wanna check out Windows 7 when it comes out.

can you post your network settings?
I've had pretty good reception in the NYC area on 3G for the past 6 months... until today. Now my phone can get 3G and 3g+ reception but I can't get any data over 3G anymore. When I step down to EDGE, I can get data again. iPhone users seem to be fine. Anyone else having these problems in the NYC area?
hi,
im interested in buying the oppo find 5 when it comes out. one thing i wanted to know is that if i do buy it will 3g work in the uk.
Connectivity
Connectivity Technology: GSM + WCDMA 3G network
Network Band: GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz & WCDMA 850/1900/2100 MHz
Data Technology: GPRS / EDGE / HSPA+
Bluetooth: Bluetooth 2.1
WLan: Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11 b/g/n
USB: USB 2.0
GPS: GPS/A-GPS
those are details from a website where i want to buy the phone. i was just hoping someone would be able to help. if i buy this phone and bring it to the uk will 3g work?
Thank You
if it is 4G, then worry, but 3G? it will work universally.
This link shows the frequencies that are used all over the world.
If the phone you want uses the same 3g frequency that UK uses, you're fine.

My wife an I both had Samsung SII phones. Then I bought myself new LG G2. We noticed, that sometimes voice we hear in not so 'clear' anymore.
I thought to myself how is that possible since I have brand new phone with greath specs. I flashed and changed few ROMs an kernels, but coul'd not get a clue,
what coul'd be the reason for that.
Since talking is still phones primary function (at least for me I did a little digging about this problem.
HD Voice technology is avalible since 2011
HD Voice, as it is called, is based on WB-AMR (Wideband - Adaptive multirate), thereby doubling the bandwidth.
WB-AMR compared with narrowband codecs provides excellent voice quality due to a wider bandwidth capture and processing of speech.
Noise and unwanted sounds are also removed. The sound quality is also significantly improved without additional network resources.
You must have appropriate mobile phone and cell mobile provider must support this to use this advanced feauture.
I did a little test:
My coworker has Galaxy SII , i have LG G2.
I set preferred network mode to WCDMA (3g /h ) on my G2, galaxy SII doesnt support LTE and was already set to WCDMA.
We made a call in call quality was really good. Voice was clear and crisp.
Then i set preferred network mode to WCDMA /LTE auto (3g /h ) and phone connected using LTE netowork mode.
I called my coworker again. This time call quality was not so good any more.
We exchanged few calls again to confirmed it.
I have asked a tehnician who works in Telekom Slovenija (slovenian mobile network operator) about my situation and he has confirmed it.
HD Voice is currently unsupported when using LTE mode - at least in Slovenia.
So till then i wuold really like to have some sort od program who would intelligently switch network modes.
When data off - wdcma, when data On - lte, so I could enjoy HD woice when talking and LTE when browsing...
Few links indicate, that Verizon in USA has already started using 'nex gen HD Voice over LTE' --> VoLTE

Bump any fix?
Hi everybody!
I have two major problems:
Does anybody knows how to get root access on oppo A83?
Is there any possibility to get that fixed?
Down below i've posted some links with technical specifications about the device.
Another problem is that I bought the phone in Thailand and only Asian languages are installed! But I need the European language pack! I have already searched the whole web but unfortunately found nothing. :crying:
I would be very grateful for any help or advice.
Thank you guy's.
Sorry, I am still prohibited to publish links in my thread. So, I copied the specific data for the oppo A83 from a website and put it back here.

same here, having oppo f5 with same chipset but theirs no way to get fastboot,until we get something official patched update.zip to bring back the fastboot crap..
{Mod edit: Quoted post deleted}
Thanks for share but it seems your tool and drivers are for win7, do you have drivers for windows10? Thanks
Same Problem Here
I have the same phone and i'm starting to regret buying it. Tho here are a couple of things im going to try out. You guys might as well also try it. Tho im not sure if it will work and i'm not responsible for anything that happens if you do follow these.
I'm trying to make magisk work on the phone by patching the boot image but since we can't really access the fastboot, we can't unlock the bootloader and flash the modified boot image. Although what i wanna try out is using the MTK download tool to flash the modified boot image to the phone. I still don't know if it will work or not since i haven't tried it and i don't think i will later on since information about this phone is still very scarce and breaking this to the point of no return is the last thing i want to do.
can somebody help root oppo a83 please :crying::crying:
