3G on 8525 running DOPOD official

Is there any trick to make 3G work on the dopod official rom on the AT&T network? I'm in southern california and can not get my phone to connect at 3G at all, even in the center of an area that's covered in dark blue (indicating 3g service availability) on AT&T's 3g coverage map page. I've tried forcing the band to UMTS and I just get no service. Is there some registry tweak or hack I need to do to make it work? I'm on the AT&T $19.95 unlimited media max plan. I get EDGE pretty much everywhere I go but no 3G. HELP

I was running the official Dopod release on my 8525 and UMTS/HSDPA was working fine for me, just as it has with all the other unofficial WM6 releases.

Did it ever work before? or are you just going off Cingulars Coverage Maps?

Try checking you connection settings

New phone
To be honest I just got this phone last week and I really havent had a chance to fully try it out, I'm coming from an 8125. I am pretty much going based on coverage maps which AT&T say they cover almost all of southern orange county. I work all over orange county and have yet to see any 3g service? As long as there is nothing special to change or configure on the phone I geuss maybe I'm just not in the right service area. Is there any other troubleshooting I can try? Some sort of debug mode? I did reset and reconfigure all my connection settings per the above reply, same issue.
Thanks

Did you look in the Wiki? Try this....

Enable/Disable GSM/UMTS Band Selection
Cingular kindly disables anything useful about the network on the 8525. To enable the Band Selection Tab on your Phone settings page, set the following:
[\HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\]
"ShowUMTSBandPage"=dword:00000001
Get your phone to display an H when HSDPA is being used
HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\RIL and set EnableHSDPAIcon to 1

Calls possible with HSDPA Data Transfer?

Hi all
I experienced some problems since I upgraded to WM 6 (official Tytn Europe Version)
If there is a active Datatransfer in HSDPA Mode, i cannot make or receive a phone call. I already tried several Radio Versions (1.43/1.48/1.50), but no success. When I disable HSDPA, it works fine.
Does anybody has same issues with HSDPA?
Thanks

Vodafone issue
Hi - are you using a vodafone network? I know that there are issues on the network that are preventing some operators from supporting voice and data at teh same time over HSDPA....
The operators I know about are planning network upgrades or patches to solve the issues (which are not just limited to Windows Mobile devices apparently)

I can make calls -> versions below I don't think this is just a phone issue though. I think some operators can't do it.

I have the same problem as you have.
It is because of the infrastructure of my provider KPN that I have this problem. When I disable HSDPA then all works fine. So no I only use HSDPA when I want to browse on the Internet.
****ty but now I know why.........

Hi all
Thanks for the confirmation.
I also disabled HSDPA for now.
Now I will the push the guys in the network department to fix this issue......
Just got the answer from the tech guys. Operators with Ericsson UMTS/HSDPA Network Equipment are affected by this. The Operator has to rollout a software update to fix this issue.
Cheers

I am on AT&T and have never been able to do data and voice at hte same time.

I'm on At-T in Nyc and my HSDPA works just fine calls while on data and vice versa

I'm in South Florida and I'm constantly using Internet Sharing in HDSPA mode while talking on my Jawbone... (takes "jawbone of an ass" to a whole new level, ehehehe!)

OK, now THAT is the funniest thing I've read here! Thanks for the laugh!
I saw the jawbone at the ATT/Cingy store and wondered if I should splurge on it since I already have an H500 and an H700 from Motorola. My problem is I ride bike a lot and the wind noise makes it impossible to have a conversation with an H500. It is possible but a little difficult to talk while riding using the H700. I was wondering if you had any experience with the Jawbone under similar conditions?

OOPs - That was meant to be PM, sorry folks!

The Hermes is able to do both. Phone calls and data (HSDPA\GPRS\EDGE) at the same time. Your data speed does take a hit due to bandwith.
However if you cannot is because is 99.999% the network NOT the phone. I had a Hermes long before the network here in Canada supported HSDPA. So I could only do one at the time. At the beginning of this year they finally updated it and I have been doing both at the same time with wild abandon no problem.
Check with your provider.

@gmgonzal - the Jawbone will probably be the best you can find for your enviroment. I only use it in my Toyota when driving. People can't tell that I'm on a cell phone. I had a NxZen which I liked for a while but this is better, IMO.
@agovinoveritas - indded, that's the biggest reason I upgraded to the 8525... no more missed calls when I'm using the internet (or receiving an email at the same time..)

It's the network. All operators that use Ericsson 3G equipment suffer from a bug in the Ericsson kit that prevents simultaneous data/voice. All Nokia equipment works fine. T-Mobile in the NL use Nokia and have no issues. KPN and Vodafone NL use Ericsson and have this issue. KPN are currently upgrading their Ericsson equipment to correct this issue (ETA end 2007). I do not know about Vodafone NL. It is safe to assume that in other countries these providers use the same kit so you should be fine with TMO, regardless of where you are.

Does this issue include that my telephoneconversation can be disconnected?
I had this problem with the WWE WM5 HTC rom using the Vodafone NL network. Now I have uograded to the Dopod WM6 ANZ version it's all fine...

Maybe a lead on WiFi for UK T-mobile MDA?

hi, i have a T-mobile MDA Compact III (UK), and i recently took it apart to replace the screen (i broke it). It is all back together now, and working as usual, but i noticed a icon next to GPRS/Signal etc, which after doing some research, is the triangle that shows the phone is roaming for Wifi.... strange. I also noticed this morning that a program i have on my phone called ShoZu (sort of a RSS feed program) was saying it couldn't download the data, as the phone was Roaming, and this could mean there are charges for downloading....
Any idea why its now started Roaming??!! i dont seem to be able to do anything with the roaming... all i did was take the phone apart, change the screen (whole unit) and put it back together!
Cheers,

Ths is a T-Mobile ****-up when the ran an stk update a while back, it affects the Artemis devices and makes them display the roaming icon (GPRS roaming has nothing to do with WiFi) - it is just an icon on my C-III, but on my HTC P3300 fitted with a T-Mobile card it is a real PITA as it keeps popping up a warning about roaming and MMS disabled.
If you want WiFi on the Artemis go and buy the HTC or XDA Orbit the T-Mobile UK version has not got the hardware fitted - Mike

Enable roaming icon on AT&T Tilt 2

I upgraded from my unbranded TyTN II to the AT&T Tilt 2 (would have gone with the unbranded Touch pro 2, but the 3G radio doesn't work on AT&T ), but is there a way, most likely in the registry to re-enable the roaming icon? I have an AT&T Tilt for my work phone and it doesn't show when I'm roaming on a partner network, but my TyTN II did. I would like to re-enable this icon in my Tilt 2 so I know when to limit my minutes and data usage. I do live and work in an area where you go a few miles in one direction and your on a partner network and not AT&T's network, so this is somewhat important for me to know when I'm on which. Thanks in advance

Nexus loses Vodafone UK connection...

All
I took delivery of my new SIM free Galaxy Nexus today. Everything appeared to be going well until I tried to make a couple of calls. The call would either connect for three seconds and then drop or drop immediately. After dropping the call the handset indicates that it has no connection to a network.It will also drop any incoming calls and then I lose the connection to Vodafone.
To reconnect to Vodafone I either have to turn airplane mode on then off again or reboot the phone.
When it has the VF connection in the connection status page I see this;
Network - Vodafone Uk
Signal Strength - -95 dBm 9 asu
Mobile Network Type - HSDPA:9
Mobile Network State -Connected
After attempting to make or receive a call;
Network - Unknown
Signal Strength - -113 dBM 0 asu
Mobile Network Type - Unknown:0
Mobile Network State - Disconnected
I called Vodafone and they are sending me a new SIM (I've had this one for many years now). The current old SIM works fine in my old Desire.
Anyone else have these issues or have any advice? Is this a handset issue, SIM or could it be a problem with the VF network?

Ah someone else with this issue! I thought it was just me. I find that the vodafone connection drops and won't reconnect - particularly when I'm driving along. Sometimes it's fine for hours and others it just never returns.
I'd be very be very interested to here if a new SIM fixes the issue, as I too have had this sim for a very long time.
I love the device, but if it doesn't function as a phone I'm seriously considering either changing networks or returning the phone (which I got from phones4u).
My old sim works fine in my nexus S (which my wife has taken over and probably won't give back!)
I am still waiting for the volume bug fix which appears to have a new GSM binary, that may help the issue (or not) - otherwise its a call to phones4u to get me moved networks!

I got the volume fix when I powered up the phone today but that hasn't sorted it. Im off to a mates house now to try his SIM otherwise I may have to send the phone back.
I've posted this up on the Vodafone forum too -> http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/t5/Goog...-Signal-3-seconds-into-call/m-p/943023#M12291

Just to update - tried with a mates Vodafone UK sim and it worked fine so its looking like my old school SIM needs to be updated...

Just been to a vodafone shop and got a new sim. Made three consecutive calls. A record. New sim seems to fix it!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App

I'm on T-Mobile in the US and seem to have this same problem. I had my G2 and G1 with this SIM and never had an issue, but brought it to the Galaxy Nexus and randomly I lose connection and it won't reconnect until I reboot.
Anyone else see this issue?

I had a similar issue with an O2 sim on an SGS2. Replacing the SIM worked for me, though it was only 2 years old. I suppose its inevitable SIMs will fail.

Unfortunately, I got a new SIM card last night and put it in. But it just happened again today. Anyone have any ideas?
Currently I'm using Android Revolution 1.3.1 and Kernel 3.0.1-ga052f63.
