I don't know if there are more of you having problems with 3g and hsdpa after flashing the new radio update.
My connection type only accepts gprs after the flash. When i dial *#*#INFO#*#* and choose information and tap the ping test, i can only see that gprs is connected.
With the older radio's i always had a hsdpa connection.
This is the radio i'm using: 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04
Roms are different roms with the same issue:
-Defrost 2.0a
-DJDroid v1.0r1
-Adams OpenDesire 1.5 and 1.6 prerelease.
All roms in combination with this radio are causing problems with my 3g connection.
Maybe if you specify the ROM and the Radio versions you are using, someone can help you....

dutch Hi / KPN... no difference at all.. 3g works fine, speedtest still showing 950kbps
Open desire 1.5, h3g data connection is HSDPA, with latest radio.
Well i only see the gprs icon, no 3g or hsdpa here. Speedtests give me 0.01mbit down and 0.02mbit upload speeds.
I just found 2 more simcards.
1 kpn
2 t-mobile
both the same thing, no more than 0.02 mbit up and down. . .
Maybe i have to try flashing a older radio back.

Ok, so maybe my phone is just broken....

Maybe vodafone 3G broadcast thingie (dunno) is broken in your area?
Yeah mine dropped to 2G All the time so I flash the Android 2.2 HTC sense Rom and pushed it to wcdma only. Works, I think it's an issue with the radio for T-Mobile UK customers
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

No because he tried kpn and T-mobile as well.
I've always had 3G issues on mine regardless of radio so I'm putting it down to being orange. New radio for me seems better tho, I get H alot more so things work fine!
Maybe the flash didn't take...
I flashed Dj Droid 1.0 r1 today with new radio and ive not shown Hdspa since. I did a speed test and it showed 1.9 - 2Mb, which is good for where i am. I did the ping test and it came back saying Hdspa so i think with me its just the icon thats not changing.
2.2 unless patched will only display 3G icon for both 3G and H. I doubt HTC have put that patch in...
And found another vodafone card (vodafone dongle)
Lets try
I have the same problem with H only getting 3g signal, since I started using 32... radio. So its defiantly not network related.
Ok tested my vodafone dongle, and same issue (from laptop), so there must be something wrong with the vodafone network.
Pffieuw
I have same problem with last radio with ROM Six O'clock AM, Open Desire, AOSP, DjRoid and AOSPDesire_1.2.2.
It's a bit strange, normally when i am in the living room a always had 3g or hsdpa. Now i only have gprs until i go upstairs, when i'm at the top floor it shows me the hsdpa icon, and a speed test of +/- 1.5/2Mbit down and up.
So there changed something. Maybe Vodafone messed up their signal or there's something different with the new radio. . .

I have recently changed to wm6, and changed radio rom.
I now have a problem with my signal.
When I start up my signal is great.
If I drive around for a while I get a no signal icon and "no signal" message.
If I manually switch a band to any variation I get the signal back.
I have changed roms, radio roms and varied all the settings but I still get this problem.
Anyone have any ideas ?

Hmmm let me guess Cingular customer??
what radio are you using??? if you are in the US, try using 1.40 radio, im using that one and its great, but i am on T-Mobile US...if you are on the UK 3G band, then try 1.43
I'm in South Africa... Not Cingular...tried 1.40... no change to the problem though
Have you tried going back to the radio you were previously using before this happened?

Thats pretty f***ed up. I have Cingular and dont have a problem. Signal all depends on what Radio you have.

There are several more radio versions after 1.40 you should read up and see what radon would work best in South africa.
I was using wm5 with 1.3? but others in SA are using 1.40 with no problems.
Hi guys!
I recently upgraded to WM6, but left my radio at 1.40.
I am having BIG BIG problems.
All of a sudden, I could have 5 dropped calls in two minutes.
I notice that whenever the phone goes into "3G", signal strength drops (sometimes to one bar), and it's terrible.
I am not sure if there is a way to disable 3G, and remain in EDGE, or if I should try to get my hands on 1.43 or even 1.41.
What's strange is that when I went from WM5 to WM6, I did NOT upgrade the radio.
I'm on Rogers in Montreal.
It's beyond horrendous!
is there a radio that will upgrade the phone to be able to connect to a 3g network. i know with some phone the network access can be just radio related for example my hermes was 2g untill i flashed the radio to a 3g one. if this is possible where can i find it
No as it's hardware that facilitates a phone to use 3G not the Radio..
I think what you meant above was Radio performance so you needed to flash a Radio that had more reception to pick up the 3G signal.
3G on S620?

My question is... is that if the S620 doesn't support 3G, which is all well and good, how or why does my T-Mobile Dash [purchased Dec 2007 for use on T-Mobile] (now working on AT&T network) connect to and have the "3G" symbol?
Doesn't make alot of sense that a phone that doesn't support or run on a 3G network actually has the programming to recognize and connect to it.

I have no idea but know that out of 1000's of users no one else has mentioned this, i'd put it down to how AT&T put out signal "bands" maybe the phone is on Edge yet displaying 3G "not the foggyist" but one thing i do know is that if there was an exploit for 3G on the Excalibur we would all be using it and it'd be on XDA
This isn't related to any particular ROM as I have tasted this with various sense and none sense ROMS... Has anyone since using the latest radio had issues with connecting to 3G or having very strange fluctuations, where the signal might go dead completely then back up to full?
I seem to be experiencing this with 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20
nope seems fine with mine. OD rom in Australia

The mentioned Radio is really poor in 3G Network. Especially change between 3G and EDGE. When I disconnect from Wifi it too often doesnt connect to the GSM or 3G again - the bars are there, you can phone but cant use data connection.
I hope there'll be a updated radio soon!
Im not happy with 5.09.00.20.
Hi,
I'm also experiencing a poor 3G connection with this radio.
I'm not happy with that.
Vodafone Spain, also same while itinerance in Portugal, USA.
Best
this radio has been absolutely fine for me.
having poor reception at singapore here too...
should i downgrade the radio?
Working best for me. From Malaysia.
Not working at all well for me. All was working great until I flashed to this radio. I'm now experiencing complete signal drops at least once an hour, have to toggle airplane mode to re-enable.
I tried rolling back to each other radio bar the first 3 or 4 with the same result.
Could it be something else or am I missing something when rolling back the radio?
It works fine for me as long as I stay in Copenhagen, but I've experienced losing signal altogether when travelling, this didn't happen before, so I think it's because of the radio.
I have a weird issue where I never seem to be able to access the Internet in any way until the connection icon changes from "3G" to "H". Is this normal? I haven't noticed this on the stock radio but then I didn't keep it that long...
Still having this "issue". Anyone else?
New version is working really better here.
Where could one get that version? And is it supposed to work on any ROM without breaking it?
I have the 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 radio and am on Telus.
I have the same issue as you. When the icon shows 3G my internet doesnt work at all but as soon as it changed to H (bang) full speed internet..
It did it for me on the 32.43 radio but not on stock. Anyone know what the stock Telus Radio is?
Guys you do know on telus we dont have a 3G network its strictly "H" that would be why your internet does not work. I would like to know how you managed to get stuck in 3G as i never have.
I have no idea - i just updated radio and rom to 2.2 Official (but rooted) - i entered the apn settings from the telus website.
When on internet things will be fine, internet loading (H in task bar) and then suddenly it will turn to the 3G icon and internet will freeze until the H icon comes back. Strange...
When i go into the settings and check my phone model it says its a HTC Desire A8181 - i checked the internet and this model is 3G Dual-Band 900/2100MHz.
Before i flashed a 2.2 rom my model showed as HTC Desire 8182, which is 850/1900 3G.
Could this be why its getting stuck on 3G instead of H?
My model also displays HTC Desire A8181 and I'm running a 2.2 ROM.
I don't remember what it said before on the Telus stock rom, but I could try flashing it back to see, since I have it in backup.
If you could try flashing it back that would be great - i think i have my Nandroid backup but its on my works computer...

the modle should do anything i change mine to just HTC Desire, what rom are you running?
I have been running the original sense ROM on my DHD downgraded from the 1.72 it came with to 1.32 to freeze bloatware and get rid of the annoying SMS notification bug. Was working great until I tried a new radio to see if I could improve my patchy Vodafone UK 3G sig.al at home. I tried the latest stable radio from Cingular and found 3G and GPS was good but wifi was suddenly terrible! Right next to router and only getting 'fair' signal. Thought I'd return to original 1.32 radio using the one in the radio thread but this has made no difference. Wifi signal is now poor upstairs with only my network visible whereas I was getting Excellent with multiple networks nearby showing. Is this a radio problem or settings? I never had best wifi performance ticked in settings. If it is a radio problem does anybody know how to return to the stock one that came with my DHD - UK unlocked used on Vodafone UK network. Any help appreciated greatfully!

Apparently these radios, unless WWE, are designed for a specific area. If you're not in the area you will notice some downgrading in WiFi functionality. Try a WWE radio and see how it goes.
shut down and restart your router and try again the wi-fi. that work for me the first time.
or you can boot into recovery and do a Factory re-set

Have tried most of the radios in the thread over in Desire HD development now with pretty similar results, even tried the UK specific test radio listed there. Currently on Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2.
Have tried a reboot of router also, but that did little. I used to be able to see 4-5 nearby networks also but can only barely see one now.
Hi, would just like to report back to say I think I've fixed it. Is the wifi antenna connector on the battery cover like the network antenna is on the sim card cover?
Was at work and getting a really poor signal to the ADSL line here for external devices, whereas last week had nearly a full signal (2 rooms away). Just removed the sim and battery cover with the phone on so I could soft reset it in the process, cleaned the gold contacts and put back together and WiFi seems to be working great again.
Will report back later when I've had chance to test it at home but seems it was maybe a Darwin moment and I hadn't put the battery cover back on properly or the contacts were dirty?
That's good to know for future reference... cheers!!!
Hey guys,
So I've noticed that I cannot do voice and data simultaneously (call someone and surf the web at the same time). I know its supposed to be possible under 3G and HSDPA for GSM networks. I am in a perfectly good HSDPA region (3G too for that matter, but my phone shows the H icon).
The only reason I can think that it is not working is because I am currently using the Vision_Radio_12.52. 60.25_26.08.04.30 (from *LEAK* Vision_Gingerbread_S_TMOUS_2.13) radio which is not the newest one.
So will upgrading my radio solve the problem (I can do voice and data fine individually.)? Or is it just not possible for some reason with this phone?
You can but only with 4g, the h on stock means 4 or 3g
No same for me and I am on a different radio the one ending .12,data turns off when talking,as to the reason why, I dont know, I just know it does not work.

Ok, but like I said, I am seeing an H indicating that I should be on a HSDPA network (there is a seperate 3G icon when I am in 3G).
Regardless of 3G or 4G, I thought GSM can support voice + data over both 3G and 4G.
Bombadier is using the latest radio and is having the same problem so I wonder what is the reason behind this...
Radio and ROM specs in my signature, I have no problems talking and surfing while in H or 3G.

Quick question do you have mobile network data always on?
Whatever the default is, I never manually turn it off, but I do use juice defender and allow it to turn off mobile data only when my screen is off.
Should of said on the phone running Unity, as I have it set from settings - wireless and network - mobile networks - not always on, will change it to always on and see if the connection stays on while talking.
Edit Just tested and the data connection stays on while I am on the phone,the OP should try mobile networks always on then.
My mobile network is already set to Always On.
When I get back home, I will update my ROM to the latest InserCoin v1.61 and the newest radio and report back. Hopefully, that will fix my problems.
Also, once I flash the newest radio, will I have to flash RIL too?
Just remember, newest radio doesn't always mean the best radio. I'm using an old one that after trying 5 different radios turned out to be the best.
Not sure about RIL's on sense though...
Seems to be all quiet about the need to match the rils,I used to, but had a few bad experiences matching the rils on the new unity releases 2.35+ so have stopped doing it,certainly with AOSP based roms it is not recommended to match,hope you get your problem sorted.
P.S. As the other chap said,the newest radio does not always mean the best radio,a bit of experimentation is required,also be sure to wipe the EFS data when changing radios.Link to a flashable zip can be found in the radio thread.
Updating to the newest ROM, kernel, and radio solved the problem. Thanks everyone for the help!
