I am using Schap's Advanced Configuration Tool and would like to enable HSDPA. I am on t-mobile UK network and I believe that they offer HSDPA (as stated on 4winmobile) automatically to existing customers.
when I try to enable i get the following error message
"Unable to change HSDPA connection settings"
is there something else i need to do or am i simply not going to be able to get it?
thanks,
cojo
Surely to access HSPDA you need a 3g phone?
ah...that could be why, typical me...see the headline don't read the article!!
thanks

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.
I'm trying to use a dual sim adaptor with the Tytn2, but when i turn on the device i get a message saying "smartchip not allowed" and then there is no signal. what can i do?
I can't help you, but i have the same problem... Is it possible to do any changes in the registry?
There is a solution for this problem I've just found it by accident when searching for the same topic. Here are the quotes of people on the forum dedicated to this problem:
"In order to solve this issue, we suggest you to change the network parameter’s of your mobile.Please desable the automatic mode and choose GSM (only) for the network and select GSM (900+1800) + UMTS (2100) for the band selection"
However there is a price for this: "Changing to GSM is disabling all 3G/HSDPA function on the device, so your data speeds will be limited to standard GPRS (50kbps) or Edge, where available (up to 120 kbps)"
Anyone know how to solve this one?
For a jasjam I-mate with withdows 6, using a sim from three
Imate configurator is running, there is three coverage,
I installed the 'CWW Enterprises AUS Operator Con'
Which gives the point access name etc as far as I can tell.
I see the 3G pop up then is replaced by E.
I end up paying roaming fees. ????????????
Also trying to track down the remove telstra programs for dopod.
???????????????????????????????????????????????
do I need to go 'super cid ' and get dopod rom??????????????
From start menu go to
settings
personal
phone
band
set the network type to auto
select GSM (900+1800)+UMTS(2100+850)
go to network
click set network
select new network
and select AU 3TELSTRA (06) and ok
and you should be set you may need to select find network after that and it may take a few min to kick in. you'll know if its worked if under the current network it says UMTS 3.
you may need to select find network a few time but it should get it eventualy.
can i activate the "g" on my blue angel? its currently running on wm 6.1+manila by d-two..
G or gprs has nothing to do with wi-fi, your thread title is misleading.
you need to open the connection settings and set up your internet connection, according to the data, you receive from your carrier. usually, if you don't know, where to find those things, visit your carrier's website and search it for "gprs settings" or 3g settings or umts settings and you will find the information you need to set it up.
alternatively, have a look around the forum for the ADC.cab that is the program for Automatic Data Connection. it reads, what kind of sim card you have inserted and offers you corresponding carriers to choose from and configures the internet connection automatically, assuming that your carrier is listed.
but be aware of the fact, that because this has nothing to do with wi-fi, the internet is not free. you have to pay network fees to your provider, because you use a sim activated mobile internet connection, that is also pretty slow, because the blueangel only has GPRS and not edge, 3g or hsdpa.

hi chef tony thank you for your reply..and sorry for the confusion..im asking is about how to activate "g" on wifi because by default it only has 802.11b..is there any possibility?thanks again!
oh, i see. you were talking about wlan 802.11G. my answer was not very helpful then
unfortunately, it is impossible to unlock wlan G. just like sdhc cards, no one ever found a leak to create a driver. and even if there was a driver for that, you would only gain the ability to connect to wlan G networks, but there would be no speed improvement, the wi-fi on the BA is limited to 11Mbit
oh i see. thank you for your quick reply chef tony!
Hello Guys,
I'm experiencing a problem with my Froyo Desire for probably a week now.
The thing is that in certain areas my Phone can not receive calls / sms or such. In other words "GSM services" dont work. 3g though works fine (stable, strong and fast connection) My Provider is T-Mobile.
After quite a lot of testing I was able to isolate the error:
When WCDMA / GSM is chosen by the phone automatically it seems to me as if it didnt switch "back" to register with my provider via GSM when i want to make a call or if someone wants to call me.
When i switch to "GSM only" manually everything works fine but i have no 3g of course.
I also experience this problem only in certain areas. I live in an area where there is really strong HSDPA available (up to 7mbit\s). When i go to other places of my city i still get HSDPA (not as strong) but calls / sms still work.
The last paragraph may be of no importance, i don know.. probably it helps..
I have googled quite much about this problem and also found a few persons experiencing the same issue but nobody was able to come up with a solution.
I would be very thankful if someone could try to figure this out.

gsm only Desire?
I'm having a nightmare with 3g 2g connectivity on my Desire on the three network whilst at home. If I could manually select gsm only this would be fine as I could still call and text and use wi-fi. Unfortunately my options are gsm/wcdpa (or whatever) auto or the 3g only.
can someone please advise if it is possible to select gsm only and if so, how?
many thanks
Can someone please advise me how if possible, to set the desire to gsm only?

Wireless and network-Mobile network- should be here somewhere.
Thanks, but there is no option for gsm only. It's wcdma only or gsm/wcdma auto. there has to be a way around this.
Similar problem, different version
I've experienced similar problem.
In some area, I can get steady grps signal when I switched GSM only on; but when I switched WCDMA/GSM on, I could get no data connection at all.
I'm using China Unicom's mobile service.
Solution
Hi there,
I've the same issue and I fix it allowing the option GSM/WCDMA Auto in the configuration menu.
Then enter the following code *#*#4636#*#*, select "phone Information" and set preferred network type, set "GSM car (PRL)".
Sorry about my bad english.
