O2 UK 3G help appreciated.

Hello everybody,
I apologise in advance if there exists an answer elsewhere, but I have been searching for the past week to no avail. I'd appreciate if somebody could point me to the right thread/direction.
I upgraded from my stock mda vario2 rom, to the latest schaps (WM6).
Everything works ultra fine but I there is no 3G! I have tried a few different radios and right now i'm on 1.43. I still cannot make video phone calls. The icon is stuck on G. I'm in east london btw.
I believe my O2 uk settings are right though , to te best of my novice knowledge that is.
Again I apologise if this is already addressed in another thread or wiki. Mods, please delete my post if it is a repitition.
Appreciate any help.
Cheers!

you have a tmobile phone or an o2 phone? goto phone settings and check its set to auto

Thanks for the reply,
I have the t-mobile's mda vario2. Tried that already but its still on G.

i have the same problem with an orange 3100. it will only find G not 3G. i have even tried swapping sims but no luck. i have tried all the different settings cabs i can find but no luck

i'm using an orange spv m3100 with no problems on o2uk, and i had 1.43 until yersterday.
o2's signal seems to be inferior to that of orange; i.e. 3g reception not as good
for example i do not get a 3g signal at home on o2, but did on orange, however i do get a 3g signal outside and in other places (on o2)

goggle the site for the field test software.

Call O2 customer service and ask whether you have 3G access activated on your SIM card. I have bought O2 pay as you go SIM card some time ago and it did not access 3G at all, since the very beginning on any 3G phone. Somewhere on the receipt or SIM pack (don't remember now) I've found sth like 'SIM 2G' so that way I figured out card is not meant to log into 3G. But I never bothered to call CS anyway, as I very rarely use that SIM.

Thanks guys,
I'll try all ur suggestions, I did try swapping sims with my wife, hers is an O2 sim which actually has the letter 3G on it, but nope its still Ging on me. I will give O2 a call.

Network Coverage Type Icon

Hi Guys
Just replaced my T-Mob Rom with Schnaps 4.31, I used to have a "G" or "3G" icon at the top of the screen to let me know what network coverage type I had.
Since updating to schnaps its just gone to the 2 little arrows you get before you put in ya sim pin, is there a reg hack I need to do so I can see the coverage type?
Cheers

I think a simple reboot should fix it...did you have your phone connected via activesync before this happened?

Yes, but I have rebooted it a number of times now to install new software and such.
Still all I get is the two arrows (not the activesync ones).

Get into the registry, go into this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\
Then delete the value "CellularDataIconOptions".
You will get the normal icons back.

Hmmm went to hunt for that key and I dont appear to have it.
I found it on my Vario 3, guessing thats the key that shows what network type I am on.
I added it to my Hermes, just to see if it would show the network type but I got no change after a soft reset.

Edge vs GPRS icon

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

3G notification

I'm currently using the HTC T8285 Telstra. I know that it picks up the 3G here, just in Australia instead of having a 3G icon where the signal is, theirs has an H.
Is there any cab or tweak to either get the H to show up as 3G or have 3G shown beside where is says AT&T ?

Im actually on the Telstra network The icon switches between 3G and H on mine, i think depending on whether the current cell supports HSDPA?

You realize the "H" is better than "3G"?

H is for HSDPA aka 3.5G

i think ryche316 is referring to the label reading 3G AT&T vs just AT&T. if i'm correct, you'll need a registry editor to fix this. launch the registry editor and goto the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting and change the Enable3GLongNamePrefix key value from 0 to 1. soft reset and you'll see it now read 3G AT&T. true this is a minor cosmetic item, cuz if it shows H in the signal meter, you're better off. i've rarely seen mine show 3G. i always want to see H.

Aye ditto, can also use Schaps 3.3 to do the mod too which will allow you to call 3G whatever you want.

Thanks there Trickster. yea that's what I was referring to. I do realize that the " H " is a 3.5G which has a faster download speed than 3G.
Thanks

LT15i enable wifi & 3G/HSDPA on Orange UK

Hi,
Ive just been told by Orange tech support that this phone does not support both 3G/HSDPA and WiFi being active at the same time?! Surely this is wrong?
I have never had the H symbol come up and when WIFI is switched on only 2G is available. Why cant i just leave WiFi on and have it select the best speed automatically?
I also have the Desire S on T-Mobile (T-Mobile and Orange are the same company here in the UK now and use the same towers) and that has the H symbol come up with WiFi active....
Please can someone enlighten me
Cheers Guys

Anyone know the answer to this?
