Cant see EDGE (the E icon) on my GPRS/EDGE connection. It always shows the "G" icon whenever it connects. Using the schap's Advance Config, the setting to show EDGE icon is enabled.
When i insert my SIM on another HTC Touch phone it shows the "E" icon. What may be the issue?

I understand that my Radio is ancient (i think its 2006). I am experiencing no problems with connectivity. Would you mind expressing a few advantages upgrading it? Which version do you recommend? (my country doesnt yet support 3G)
Well just comment, i'm using 1.47.30.10 on my Dopod 838 Pro bundled with K's WM6 Final. Before it, i use 1.47.00.10. Both working well, either on 2G or 3G band. On latest radio i've got edge symbol
I even flashed with the dopod pro rom turns out nice for both the jam and the dopod pro sorry in bed posting from my jam

Nuubie now very lost after 14 hours.
I have been trying to get my XDA Exec to work with a BT sim (UK). It does not appera that the unit is locked because it does allow me to select the following networks..
VF-UK
O2-UK
T-MOBILE-UK
23420 ?????
Orange
I have tried all the unlock proceedures I can find and various different ROM's to no avail.
When I set the phone to automatic it logs on to UMTS-UK.
Can anyone help me....or is it not possible.
I read that the XDA is not locked, so am I doing something wrong?
I have also tried this
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Uni_Simlock_by_Buzz_and_team
But am unsure of how to do 9 and 15......can any one help with this
The xda Exec is DEFINITELY not locked to any network. It could be either the phone is barred, or the SIM no longer works (BT SIM? I've never seen one of those since I came to the UK 6 years ago; surely BT Cellnet is now O2...)
Thanks Richardlai,
The BT sim works fine in other phones. With the BT sim in it automatically registers to a network called UMTS VF-UK that works fine but the coverage is pants.
What is this and who is it?
Could it be that there is a setting in the XDA somewhere?
Has anyone got an XDA working with a BT sim?
If the phone is barred, how can this be changed?
Can any other XDA Exec user tell me what networks are listed.
go to start>phone
click on menu>options>network (tab)>change network selection to manual. This brings up a list, my list is
@ VF-UK
@ O2-UK
@ T-Mobile UK
@23420
@ Orange
to stop any changes happening just click cancel.
Thanks

That's weird... "UMTS VF-UK" is Vodafone's 3G network. How old is your SIM card? I suggest to contact BT (I'm assuming you're referring to British Telecom) about this problem, and they might be able to refer you to the right people from O2 (used to be BT Cellnet).
If you're phone is able to connect to a network, then it is not barred so don't worry (a barred phone cannot be used again in the same country as its function is to disallow the thief using the stolen phone; this process cannot be reversed, as far as I know).
BT mobile piggybacks on the Vodaphone network, so you are connected to the correct network. Perhaps the UMTS signal is too weak. Try disableing UMTS and see if everything is okay just using GSM.
Oh... I didn't know that BT has their own mobile phone service now...

I don't know anyone who uses it. But I remember the fuss when a year or so after selling off Cellnet/O2 it moved back into the mobile business. Presumibly as soon as it legally could (http://www.btmobile.bt.com). Like Virgin it's a virtual network.
Thanks, So it looks like I'm looking in the wrong area. The problem is when I ring BT they tell me that they don't support that phone.
When I set the phone to GSM only, it logs onto VF-UK the problem with this is the signal strength is very low, typically I can't get past 1 bar when I copmare that against a normal phone on VF that would have 5 bars. Could it be a fault with the phone or is the XDA a bit like this.

Why don't you give us the specifications of your phone, especially the radio stack verison and ROM version?
rom version 1.30.107 WWE
rom date 04/11/06
Radio version 1.09.00
Protocol Version 42.42.P8
Extrom version 1.30.162 WWE
I hope this is the right information. Does this tell you anything?
Well it does seem to be the latest O2 ROM...
I have heard of some rare cases where the Universal's radio reception is very low, and apparently it was to do with a loose connection of the antenna to the circuit board. You'll have to do a search on it I'm afraid.
I have the O2 XDA Exec and I run the BT SIM in it with no problems.
My Rom version is 1.30.107 WWE
My Radio version is 1.09.00
Ext Rom version 1.30.162 WWE
BT Sims use the Vodafone network.
Keep well

Hello :
When im conected with HSPDA i cant do or recive calls.
Im using radio 1.38.00.10
Help please.

Flash back to your stock WM 5.0 rom provided by your carrier, it's in the Wiki.
Its the same.
Do you mean UMTS/3G? HSDPA should only be active momentarily and only while downloading data.

where do you live and who is your carrier provider?
in my countery there is same problem but it's a carrier problem.
if your carrier sale this device you can asked them
Which Mobile network in which country.
Maybe we should make a list in the wiki of networks which are having problems with calls when in HSDPA mode?
Tmn Portugal.
I have the same problem with Movistar in Spain. No problem with calls over the 3G/UMTS connection though. But as was previously said the HSPDA is only used when transfering data so this doesn´t effect me too much. However this can be problem when you are using skype or push mail which transfers data on a regular basis. I´ve tried other Radios but the same problem and Movistar can only suggest disconnecting before making a call eek: ), which is helpful!
same here... dutty v2... i use push email via live mail... and get droped calls... or people not riching me.... 1.40 radio... ORANGE RO
Same in Sweden
I do have 3 in Sweden and have exactly the same problems here
i get this too. vodafone UK on black 3. ended up turning HSPDA off
I'm on "3" in Denmark and have the same problem.
It should be noted that Nokia phones can do HSPDA and receive calls, so while I'm sure it's carrier related, it must be a mixture of the carrier and the Hermes...
I have switched HSPDA off but tries it every time I flash a new ROM or new radio. Has never worked since WM5 and am now on newest LVSW ROM with same result...
- Soren
YES ! I updated with last LVSW elf edition , radio 1.41.00.10 , i put my operator settings manualy and i can receive calls when i m is HSPDA. The phone switch to 3g when receive or doing a call !!!

we have a cellular operator here in israel that is currently busy fixing it...
contact your network operator.
i have been using LVSW's ROM & sleuth version and when connected to the PC using the device's internet sharing apps with HSDPA connection, still I am able to receive & make calls.. no problem ..also when the device itself is connected to the internet (with HSDPA mode on).. no problem pertaining calls..
I am in Malaysia & on the celcom network..
just thought of sharing my experience here..

I had the same prob. Updated to Radio 1.41 and..........
......yes, still have the same problem. Pretty sure it was OK on Black 2.5
All:
I just got a Cingular 8525 and immediately upgraded it to WM6 (it had WM5 on it for about an hour). I am in a 3g covered area but I do not think I am getting a 3g connection on the phone. I have the big upper case U in a box, and then I have the signal indicator with an E over it. This makes me believe that I am connected to Cingular's edge network. Also, if I am on the phone and I try to run a sync with activesync the phone tells me that I have a voice call in progress. Any suggestions? AT&T support was clueless.

The U indicator is UMTS - that is 3G. However, most of the newer ROMs replace it with a 3G icon. What ROM did you use? Anyway, also, you may try the reg tweak to enable the BAND tab in the Settings > Phone menu. You can find that tweak in the wiki.

I have the same thing with my rogers phone, what I'm guessing is the phone is designed to pick whatever signal is strongest, (which is usually Edge) and not often-rescan for UTMS/3G.
If you google and download Band Switcher, you can force UTMS/3G at your leisure.
I wasnt aware the USA had 3G yet? I was always told that Edge was the best they had out there from a few mobile operators in the UK.
What Radio stack are you using?
Cingular, now known as "The New AT&T (AT&T)" has 3G up and running in some of it's markets.
No one seems to be answering this question.

We have quite a bit of UMTS and HSDPA coverage here in Massachusetts on Cingular/AT&T.
Hi there,
since the last two ROM/Radio upgrades my trion fails to connect to GSM/GPRS. The 3G/UMTS/HSDPA connection works fine, both for voice and internet. When I try to switch to GSM only or if no 3G is available the device fails to connect. When I use the same SIM in another trion (with the original ROM) everything works fine (GSM & 3G).
This behaviour persists since I upgraded the Radio to 1.54.30.10 and Schaps 4.01, before that I had 1.41 and Schaps 3.3 working fine. Now I downgraded the Radio to 1.47.30.10 and installed Pays ROM (PaysGER215Full.rar). Same result, no GSM connection.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
sroeder
Hello.
Check Under , Settings , Phone, Band That
"GSM/UTMS Band" if that Say " AUTO " And not
UTMS (2100+800) .
If that don't help, than i'm clueless.
And yes, If you don't have the "band page" use Schaps Advanced Configuration tool to Enable the "Band page".
/Mika
The settings were already on AUTO on all fields.
I actually got today a substitute phone after talking to the service staff. The phone simply would not connect to gprs/gsm anymore, even not after installing the original operators ROM. They said it might be a hardware issue.
I have the same problem.. I'm using HTC Hermes and suddenly I've lost GSM connection, only 3G available.. If I set GSM only there is an alert "No service". Is there any solution? I did HR - still nothing..
For those people in Australia using Telstra and wanted the 3.5G radio support, I finally got my hands on one that support the Telstra NextG HTC Diamond.
Base Rom: 1.38.841.5 WWE
Radio Rom: 1.00.25.06 (not the same version from previous post as this one is NextG specific)
I am sure most of the people would like to try this rom... if someone can show me the way the extract these roms I will be more than happy to post it for testing.
yeah this would be awesome to see if it will make the 850Mhz 3G radio work on any Diamond...!
I am noob in extracting roms... any ideas how to do it?
This would be good to try, but since it has the same version number as the one posted in the Radios thread, I wonder if/how it is different?
I will mark it as AUS version.
But before anything happen, I do need to know how to extract this out and make it work for everyone. Any ideas?
Dude you will make everyone happy if we can activate 850 3G.
I know... that's why I post this up...
My whole point is I have no idea what I needed to do to get the radio rom out.
If anyone can point me the right direction, I will post the rom out as soon as I can.

Sweet - Saw a Telstra flyer for it. Does it have an extra tab in TF3D called "My places"? If so, is it in place of the Programs tab, or is it seperate?
How's the performance of TF3D and the device in general on the Telstra device mate?

i will release the telstra ROM sometime tonight / tomorrow, just needs patching to remove the Region ID, working with cmonex now.
Thanks Guys, is it possable to also get the rom, rom and radio split as original without region tampering....can be kept as a backup for those in Aus that may want to revert back after cooking.
Is the bootloader available as well.
Again many thanks, you guys and your experties is allways appreciated.

so humor me this..
i have the 1.93.831.1 installed with hard spl.
also running radio 1.00.25.06...
i get a H symbol for most of my coverage and i have a NextG sim card installed...does this mean i am seeing 850Mhz 3G network or not really?
looking forward to actually trying the telstra rom...

Go to Setting / Phone, under the Band Tab, choose WCDMA and UTMS (850)+GSM(900+1800)
If you still can get signal and get a H then you are winning.
under the HongKong Rom
In Australia with telstra Nextg service
greyed box h and 3testra in tflo home provider spot setting are both auto
under phone settings only UMTS(900+12000 + GSM (900+1800) avail
set to the WCDMA and UMTS 900 from auto..
have a greyed box h and 3testra in tflo home provider spot
switched back to auto got 3g in grey box then after 20 seconds now have E in box have only testra under service in tflo home
Now under auto and even running connections setup I cant get back to my original greyed box h and 3testra in tflo home provider spot and have E in box and Telstra as provider under auto.[Have even set 3telstra as preffered over telstra in network band settings
edit:
set provider to manual ...chose 3telstra over telstra...then conection setup for setting etc ....ok [have H] then went back and chose auto now still have H and 3telstra with all options now on auto
should H be in grey box or just H
I also have the HK ROM with a Telstra NextGen USIM, and here is what I think is happening.
Telstra has 3 networks:
* Telstra NextGen 3G UMTS - 850MHz - Mobile network Code 505-01
* Telstra GSM - 900/1800 MHz (EDGE/GPRS) - Mobile Network Code 505-01
* Telstra 3G UMTS - 2100MHz (JV network with 'Three') Mobile Network Code 505-06 (code is shared with Hutchinson '3')
The best way to tell exactly what Telstra network you are on is by looking at the Network name in the 3DTF Home Screen
Telstra (with an E or G icon) is the 900/1800MHz GSM network
Telstra (with 3G or H icon) is the NextG 850MHz network
3Telstra (with 3G or H icon) is the '3' joint venture 2100MHz network
I am eagerly awaiting the new Telstra ROM or at least the radio ROM. So my question is, has anyone got (a non-Telstra Touch Diamond) working on 850MHz yet ? Does the new radio ROM give access to Telstra 850MHz ?
