I hope that somebody can help me. I live in The Netherlands and have Vodafone as provider and do not have 4g but only 3g as this is an old flat fee corporate account. If I set the Network mode on automatic (WCDMA/GSM) the phone will not connect to UMTS (3g) but only on GSM (Edge and GPRS) for data connections.
When I manually force (WCDMA only) Umts will work. Does anybody know how to fix this? I have the latest firmware. I prefer auto-switching as in some areas only GSM networks will be available. My iPhone 6 and Nexus 6 do not have this problem and will connect automatic to both networks, GSM when I make a call and UMTS if I need data. Could this be a modem issue? I already repalced my simcard and replaced my Note 4, both have the same issue. This is the Exynos and not the Snapdragon version.

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!
Just picked up a Hermes 8525 off of ebay.
While upgrading to the latest WM 6.1 roms available - I have been picking up the 3G network in my area here in Montreal.
I do not have a 3G sim card, and do not plan on using any of the data features either. I pretty much just use it as a regular phone - surf via wifi. Am I actually on the 3G network ??
I also do not have a 3G plan with Rogers. Is there any benefit to 3G if just being used as a regular wireless phone ??
If not being used for any data features, etc - will there be an additional charge applied ??
Should I just force the phone to GSM network only - instead of auto ??
Any feedback greatly appreciated
Have a good one
3G is data and voice. So, even if your not using the data plan your voice connection still auto connects to 3G network or Edge.
You wouldnt get charge for data as long as your 3G data connection is disabled.
You could force it to use a specific band (i.e. 850/1900 mhz) but you might have a bad connection on some areas since the phone auto connects to stronger signal. Hence better (sometimes) voice quality.

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??
My new LG G2 D802 seems to only want to conect to GSM, if I have it set to any other setting like GSM/Wcda auto, or LTE etc it wont even connect to GSM let alone the other networks? To be clear i can use the phone set to GSM, but not when set to the other settings, just keeps searching for network
I am in New Zealand on Vodafone network which is
2G - 900/ 1800 MHz GSM, GPRS
3G - 900/ 2100 MHz UMTS, HSPA, HSPA+, DC-HSPA+
4G - 1800 MHz LTE
so I think the phone should connect shouldnt it? I am in 3G/WCDA coverage (not in 4g currently to try)
Any ideas?
the phone is stock rom, rooted, Xposed etc, Kitkat 4.4.2
Thanks
Edit, I just clicked network operators and searched and it came up with Vodafone Gsm which i have selected. So i take it my phone cant see a 3g network?
I think I have solved it. I went into the hidden menu and changed the modem settings to my carriers frequency instead of auto. So fingers crossed. II havedone a reboot and it is still working too.
So I had 3g for the day or so and then its gone again, I tried my wifes sim card which is on a different network and seemed to work, so i will get a new sim card for myself and hopefully be ok. my current sim card works ok in her phone, it just struggles to find 3g in mine for some reason.
Got a new sim card now but it still struggle to find 3g maybe because I'm not in a main town centre but I should still have service here as I am in there coverage area and my wife gets coverage on her phone
Tried updating to lollipop but problemremains. It is disconnecting maybe because of poor 3g reception but then struggles to connect to 2g again. Only solution to have working phone is ro have it set on gsm only all the time. Not good
Hi all after wifi not working anymore I bought a refurbished motherboard for my 9505 LTE version. After replacing it wifi is working great but I can't seem to be able to connect to 3G. In info menu (*#*#4636#*#*) I read -voice network: GSM and -data network: EDGE, no matter what I set in preferred network type. I contacted phone company (3 Italy) and they say mi sim card is correctly registered on the network and I should get at least H+.
Tried all the latest modem/bootloader avaiable, now I am on I9505XXUHQC1 (GSM/NON-HLOS COMBINED).
Also tried manual network selection and I can only have signal if I set 2G as preferred network type in Settings-WiFi and Mobile-Mobile network.
Any ideas?
Thanks
