AT&T Tilt2 Won't browse in Aust

I have a new, unlocked Tilt2. It's now connected to Telstra Australia. I can send/receive email (POP3) call anyone and connect to the net via wifi but not through the 3G (Telstra NextG, WCDMA 850Mhz) service. Is the ROM locked to only browse in the USA?
I have tried flashing the unit using one of the available ROM but it just doesn't work. The progress graph just stays stuck at 0% and makes no progress at all.
Any clues?

The Tilt 2 on AT$T requires you to disable the proxy for Wifi and enable it for MediaNet (3G). Could that be your problem?

OK,I'll try that out.
In the mean time I downloaded and installed Opera 5 Mini beta. It works really well on both Wifi and 3G without any settings changed. I'm actually impressed.
That suggests that there is some cobbled together code/lock in the MIE browser that forces it to oerate (or not operate) in a pareticular way. My next step will be to remove that stupid bit of software.
How can I suck out the ROM and do some of my own cobbling/cooking?
How can you add shortcuts to different screens, like the App's folder?
Cheers,
Chris

The OEM Opera and IE do not work on Wifi for me (damn AT$T), so I use Skyfire instead. Much better browser IMO. You can't uninstall anything from ROM, but you can get a cooked ROM with stuff removed. You're in the right place to learn about mods and ROMs, just keep reading and do some searches. This is higher level stuff, so don't jump into it right away.

That's interesting. I have been told by some people in our local Cell Phone store that some imported models have their browser locked to their originatiing carrier when on the 3G/GSM network. That means that mine would not browse except through AT&Ts network.
I have tried re-flashing my unit 5 times with various ROMs but NONE of them work. They all hang with the PC and the Tilt2 at 0% on the progress graph. The software on the PC times out and suggests a way to reboot the Tilt2. I have also tried copying the image on to the MicroSD card and doing a hard bootload start (Hold down the [reduce-volume] button while switching the unit on) but that just resulted in the device sitting there with the word "SERIAL" near the bottom where USB is written when flashing from the PC.
True to it's name. This Tilt2 ST-7377 is a Fortress. I can't get any software into it.

How to enable EDGE data connection?

I just flashed new Froyo build from here (0726) http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/
And I noticed there is no EDGE data connection, only GPRS. If we can switch it to EDGE type, the data rate can be better!
Can somebody help?

Since the kaiser hardware supports EDGE it should be able to use it, just not sure if any android builds have EDGE support, of course I have been known to be wrong
You could have a careful mess about in the testing screen, ( open dialer, press *#*#4636#*#*, do not press dial), in phone information have a look at preferred network type, play with that, but take a note of the original settings before you do anything.
Be very careful, I spent all day without the ability to send sms, had to wait until i got home to get the correct settings before everything was normal again.

I have been using Edge to save my battery on my Tilt in both WM6.5 and Android 2.1g... Recently, I have bought several new batteries and none of them seem to hold a charge like the ones I bought last year. So that's crap...
Anyhow, to enable Edge in Android... I found the only way I could do it was to install WMLongLife in Windows Mobile. From there, I set all my connections to be 2G (only).
That saves battery in WM6.5.
In order to get Android to use Edge, you must have an Edge signal in Windows Mobile, as well as an Edge Data Connection started. So, start IE, sync your mail, refresh your weather...
Then start Haret and boot Android. If you have replaced WM with Android, I don't know how that works...
If you haven't started a data connection before booting, you will not attach to the network.
I found enabling "Slower Networks" in Android's Network Settings does nothing.
Battery life is better, but I still wish the new batteries had better capacity.

I just played that phone information. Network type: unkown! And, I could not set the preferred network type setting. But, everytime I turn it to a type like GSM only, it just turns back to unknow immediately!
Actually, when I flashed a earlier build of Froyo from that sourceforge site, EDGE worked for my phone.

Sorry, bad information, apparently the phone information screen does not work on kaiser, not sure what to try now....

[Q] Edge to HSDPA Transition

I searched through these forums and I could not find an answer, so if I missed it, just let me know. I am curious if anybody knows how to solve this problem. I live in a small town that is on the At&t's Edge network, and I commute to a larger city with At&t's 3G/Hspda network.
Whenever the phone transitions from E to H networks, the data connection will not work. I activate Opera or do the weather update on the home screen and a message pops up saying that it cannot connect. Now, if I do a soft reset, it works perfectly. It never disconnects or gives me any problem. Also, when I return to the E signal, it switches over perfectly with absolutely no need for a reset. It started this when I installed the new Tilt2 rom from the HTC website. I have installed Net 3.5, jh2001 data speed fix, the advanced config tool, and have properly set up the required options on the config tool and under settings->connections->advanced network. If necessary, I have never changed the radio.
Has anybody else run into this problem or know of a fix? Thanks in advance.

boost flashed evo 3g stopped working

Hello, I have an evo 4g that is flashed to boost. Has been working fine the past year an last week 3g stopped working.The icon is lit up but it seems that it does not work.Internal apps in the phone recognize if it is on or not either by attempting to work if it is lit up or by giving me the message that I need a data connection if it is not lit up. Tried rebooting-battery out and back in, tried uninstalling-reinstalling ROM(which is SS_Ultra) still no 3g. Wireless does work fine. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Roseypat...First I would dial ##33284# and then click "Data Status" and at the very top Where it says IP Address: after that does it say EVDO Rev A (with numbers like this 170.356.123.for example: EvDo Rev A 170.123.456.789.....or after the IP Address: does it say this 1xrtt 170.123.456.789) Also, below that it will say "Last Data Error:" if it says no data thats fine, but if it has a code what was it? This will at least tell us if you have a data connection and whether it is 3g(EvDo) or 1xrtt(2g)....Because you say that the 3g symbol is there it has to have a data connection...And the blinking your referring to is indicating that it is sending or receiving data.
That being said, this usually is related to a bad app downloaded or updated right around the time that it quit working...The first thing I would do is switch it to the stock rom if possible...But either way, I'm betting if you do a Factory Data Reset on your device(which will not effect the flash it will only erase all of the users inputs and data(ie apps, etc)....I just had someone with this exact issue and the Factory Data Reset fixed it back to normal. You can find this in the Storage section of the settings menu(at least on the stock rom anyways)...Btw, just to be safe, I would remove your sd card before you do the factory data reset. Good Luck.

[Q] internet problems help?

Anyone have a ideal why this is happening? When I am on the Internet 3g sometimes 4g depending on where I am in my house. My Internet dies, I see the 3g icon sometimes the right arrow (up green) but not the left arrow (down orange) under the 3g when Internet dies. So I have to do sometimes is to open a new Window, Even to kick start my youtube app. I have the bookmark Google page. I have to open Google page in a new window to kick the Internet going again, then go back to the window I was trying to open that can't find to open, to get the Internet working again. This kinda started maybe two ago, oh note to add they started with my 4g couple weeks ago in my area, not full. So maybe something to with the towers? Any suggestions will help and thank you all developers for all time,
A little about my phone:
1. Not rooted
2. All My poxxy are all at 0.0.0 etc. -did it months ago, right 0 at the rights spots.
3. My back cover that iam using don't have anything nfc antenna on it, iam sure it dont matter.
4. uag case
5. Setting in settings is on mobile its on cdma/lte I did automatic nothing changed
Thanks again

if they're working on the towers, not uncommon to have network issues.
To get your internet back, just go into airphone mode, and then turn it off. The phone will reconnect.
If it's that bad and inconsistent, you may be able to complain and get Sprint to get you one of those AirWaves thing to let you use your internet to support your phone on the network.
