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

U.S. Cellular Epic 4g touch APN How To
I am doing this right now. The problem I ran into is I purchased my phone in Michigan, where 4G is now abundant and I moved to Maine where nothing is "abundant" except U.S. Cellars pain in my rear so I flashed without being near towers after my phone has lost service for months so Boost cannot find my account on their system. Not a shred! This means I have an MSL but no commands with root can tell me and neither can Boost Mobile. My ESN/EIN/MEID/MEIN was accepted on U.S. Cellular and gladly took my $90 to welcome me. However; I cannot access my ESN to open DIAG to alter APN. Oi... But granted you have root, and tower signal, and
Have obtained your MSL (typing "getprop ril.MSL" in terminal is the easiest way to find it).. all you have to do is ##3424#, click edit, enter MSL # (6 DIGIT) then proceed to enter new APN settings. Then use the list button (button with two horizontal lines and 3 sided box used for settings access on home page) to save new APN. Reboot after at least 2 minutes and in theory, you should be all set. No ROM Flashes can cure this. (YET) I want my SPH-D710BST to display U.S. Cellular boot image....
I saw a post about HTC Evo flashes working... maybe a flash with U.S. Cell stock ROM and APN can cure this? I will check if my plan fails tonight.
So I'm poking around my phone and I took a peek in my Data Programming menu (##DATA#). I find a Home SID/NID entry in Advanced... So I'm looking up what the heck Home SID/NID are and I find out that my phone is set to Kansas City, MO for my Home SID (which is 04139) even though I'm based in Detroit, MI (which is 04126 AND it's where I got the phone in the first place). My question is since I have my MSL I can change this value, and If I changed my Home SID to the Detroit one for Sprint since I'm with Sprint would it be safe to do so?
The next question I have is:
Are these the correct CURRENT values for the respective Home SIDs (provided that they could have possibly changed since I don't know god awfully too much about them and have no idea whether or not they actually could change...)?
Kansas City, MO - 04139
Detroit, MI - 04126
Both are for Sprint PCS.
I've been looking all over google but I only found one site that had listings that covered both my currently set Home SID value and the Detroit, MI Home SID value and I'm not sure about when these values were posted and I'm also not sure about how accurate they may be.
Linky: http://www.roamingzone.com/sid/sid4000.shtml
-EDIT-
Oh, and last but not least: I forgot to ask whether or not changing my Home SID value will help me get better signal around my area simply because my area really sucks for signal, and 3G data almost never has any throughput... it's comparable to dial up at best. I have an air-rave at my house so getting signal at home isn't the issue anymore, it's more about when I'm out and about and mostly for data purposes only...
Any help would be appreciated. :3
Sid/nid really doesn't matter anymore. It won't really help by changing. It's just a network identifier telling your phone what network to use.
If you're looking to improve, look at PRL's, since they drive the Sid anyway.
(And its set as KC since thats the corp center of the universe for Sprint. It's the default for your region. Even some in LA to DC will default to that)
Hello all,
With this new tmobil global data plan that rolled out, it is really not good in south Texas area. Live on the border and work in Mexico. Cannot get the data from the mexican providers. Called tmobil and said sorry, its you area.
What I am looking to see is:
1. Is there a way to get the mobile network default setup to stick in manual after a re-boot. It always defaults to automatic. I need it on manual because I can still get tmobil in Mexico. It goes in and out but I get it. Otherwise it changes over to moviestar and I will get charged for messaging. Since I have no data connection, I cant use 3rd party apps.
2. Remove or supress the searching for networks popups asking to search for available networks.
If someone can come up with a way to do these, i think it would benefit more people than just me.
Thanks for reading!!

Hi i'm not sprint user, i'm using different provider in my country
i have 3G all the time (doesn't have LTE here yet), voice call and sms working. But my 3G speed is really2 slow, somehow my speed is capped to 50kb/s normally i can get 200kb/s in my area. i have samsung s1 CDMA here with same provider and there's no problem. i ned patch for custom ROM but not with stock ROM
Some said that because sprint lock my EVDO if i'm using different carrier. The carrier provider here not to friendly so i cannot ask for their help :laugh: . is there any way to unlock that?
I Already tried ##RTN# and i have trouble to enable my voice call and sms , and i already tried to zero my EFS still no go
Doing a little research, my AN-AAA status is pending in DEBUG. I already tried LG service Menu to set "undetermined" but somehow the setting is not stick, after reboot, the 3 option there just blank are that normal? my parameter for data stick tough
APN modifying not helping, what ever i input i still have 3G
To be more clear i'm from indonesia, using smartfren carrier.
Maybe i can get more clue from you guys non sprint user. and helping other user :victory:
Thanks, and sorry for my bad english :angel:
