Whenever I travel abroad and turn off my connection, my battery lasts for 48 hours without any problems vs 8 in the UK.
I use push e-mail, so I really do not need the 3G speed, they just drop in fine.
I googled all over the web I've not been able to find a auto turn off program yet?
I am on ROM Black Magic
Thx
I use Bandswitch on both my 8525s..
do a search and you will find the file.

Hi,
"Schaps 12 buttons with 3G band switch button" Works fine for most ppls.
Before you can install it you should study his thread a little bit, you may need too kill a certain registry string berfore.

this wil do the trick
Even better, you can do this without third party tools.
Just go to your phone options.
Select the tab "band" and switch the network type from "auto" to "gsm".
Did this help you?

make sure you kill your data connection before hitting ok to make the change..
That's exactly what I do. Start-Settings-Phone-Band-GSM.
what do you gain with just edge vs 3g?

My reason ist to save battery consumption
edge vs 3G
The main reasone i upgraded from the 8125 to the 8525 is so that while my phone was getting push updates from my exchange server callers would goto my voicemail without any warning. This is a problem with Edge voice or data not both...
OK, Scnapps does work w/ BlackMagic Roms
So I'll use the manual switch, it sounds fine
Thanks for the help, this 3G has been a total waste of time for me.
the only issue, I think all my GSM types have 3G:
GSM (900+1800) +UMTS2100
OR
GSM (1900+850)+ UMTS (1900+850)
OR
gsm (900+1800) +UMTS850
OR
GSM gsm (900+1800) +UMTS850+2100
Nothing without UMTS?
All:
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 noticed HSUPA is disabled in Advanced Configuration Manager on my new Tilt 2. What's up with that? I thought AT&T supported HSUPA?
It does. Maybe ATT is doing that to give more bandwidth to iPhone users...
I'm curious, which option under AdvConfig are you looking at?

Data Connections-> HSUPA support
"Enables or disables support in Advanced Network Settings"
It was set to disabled. After enabling, I still cannot see anything refering to it under Settings-> Connection-> Advanced Network.
Anyone surprised by this doesn't know AT&T very well.

Does the above activation fix actually work and we are left with an icon issue, like you are connected to HSUPA but only show 3G.

HSDPA is enabled by default but it only shows a 3G symbol. I'm getting consistent speeds over 1000.
However, I can't find any of the settings the above posts mention...
EDIT: I read too quickly. You guys are talking about U not D. But for D, what I said above applies.
From what I have heard before, the phone does support the H speed, just that the H icon was disabled probably to prevent confusion among the common (non XDA) user.
I enabled both the HSDPA icon and HSUPA in AdvancedConfig and it works for me.

What program do you use to test your speed?
on the fuze, hsdpa was enabled but att disabled hsupa to save some money for themselves. changing HKLM\Software\HTC\AdvancedNetwork\SupportHSUPA to 1 fixed that. i dont have a tilt 2 so dont hold me to that. if youre just talking about the icon then yes, att does put hspa protocols under the 3g icon.

Is this also in the stock AT&T ROM, because I can't seem to find the option?
There is another thread that talks about this already, but it seems the conclusion was that even though it only shows "3G" it runs at the HSDPA speeds. Mine is over 1000kbps all the time, and I can see why at&t wouldnt want to confuse regular phone users with a big "H" at the top.

There is a reg edit to change it so you will have the "H" at the top somewhere on here.

You need to use Advanced Configuration Manager to see this option.

My original question wasn't about the device displaying H or 3G, but the HSUPA support (not icon) in Advanced Config Manager. Mine showed the option as disabled.
In the end, I think the point is moot. With the ATT rom, my device showed the same speed test results as with the OE HTC 6.5 rom, regardless of that setting.

So are you saying AT&T doesn't have HSUPA in your area, or are you saying HSUPA is enabled and Advanced Configuration Manager is wrong?
What kind of upload speeds are you seeing?
I enabled HSUPA but I am not getting HSUPA speeds....? Is it actually possible with the stock ATT ROM? Or any TILT2 for that matter?
Hi, guys,
I got a HTC T5399 which is said to be Twin 10000, this dual mode phone is on the China market, customized for China Telecom CDMA2000 network, although it also supports WCDMA at the same time according to its brochure.
My problem is that GPRS functionality is disabled deliberately by the manufacturer when I want to use it under WCDMA network with my UK O2 sim card. Of course the voice calls are fine under WCDMA as it's supposed to. When I attempted to establish a new Internet connection, the options of line types are only three types: cellular line, bluetooth and Hayes modem on com port, there is no option of GPRS cellular line available as normal WCDMA 3G phones do. I tried to set up the connection with cellular line anyway but failed to connect to the network.
After googling on the Internet without any progress, I finally have to come here for help, as this website is for the best WM experts in the world. If I can not get it solved with your guys help, I don't think it's possible to sort it out anywhere else.
Thank you very much in advance for your kind support!
Sorry, forgot to let you know, the above device OS is WM6.5, details are
Windows CE 5.2.21869 (Internal version 21869.5.0.82)
Desperately awaiting feedback.....
no solution???
sadly, no one knows?
I recently purchased a new Sprint Z2 Force and activated it on Ting (it has only ever been on Ting and never on Sprint directly). Both Sprint and Ting support WiFi calling on this phone, but WiFi calling is not listed under the WiFi settings or in the Call settings of the dialer. However if I search in the settings for WiFi calling, I can see a WiFi Calling Settings in the App Info section, yet there is no way to turn it on or open those settings. I have updated the profile multiple times and also did a factory reset.
Am I missing something or is there something missing in the software since it never got activated directly on Sprint?
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
I do the custom rom thing and i sort of remember it just being there however, if you have not already checked "Mobile Networks" - under main phone settings, select "Network & Internet" once there, select "Mobile Network" - you'll see your carrier stuff/APN there I believe if you select "enhanced 4G LTE Mode" (you may have to make LTE you're preferred network mode in order to enable and/or display that option, again this was already there on mine. But see if that opened up any new menu items elsewhere i.e. back in the dialer app settings under "calls".
Did your phone come with a sprint SIM? Do you have the other carrier bloatware on there like Sprint ID? I know what you meant earlier about a possible software bypass, but all of that stuff is deff on the phone somewhere like you observed in App info, it may just be a matter of popping in a sprint SIM card to unleash it..
I continued to look into this for you. Sprint's name for Wifi calling is, well was -"Calling Plus". I found this article that advises one of the recent update removed the feature;
https://community.sprint.com/t5/Buz...alling-PLUS-Service-Decommission/ba-p/1017775
Since you got the sprint version you still have lots of software modification options. I also have sprint z2 foce, but I get better coverage on a GSM netwrok so my device is half sprint\half tmobile and I can deff say the wifi calling works. There's tons of information on here I can always help direct ya, but at least you're not crazy it WAS there.
lastly just to be sure, this has to be done prior,
"Log into your Ting account online and go to Device settings. Find the device you want to enable Wi-Fi calling for and click the edit icon in the Minutes section."

Thank you for all the info so far! Here are some answers and additional info:
My phone did come with a Sprint Sim in it and that is the one I am using. Also there is not any of the Sprint Bloatware on the phone. If I search "Sprint" in my settings area, there is a My Sprint Launcher that is listed as Disabled and there seems to be no way to enable it, which is similar to the WiFi Calling Settings that shows up when I do a search for it in the settings. Also if I look at the Apps and "Show System" apps, Mobile ID is there which is the Sprint ID software I believe, but again it is Disabled with no option to enable it.
The WiFi calling is turned on in the Ting account.
The Calling Plus feature was disabled by Sprint in that link you shared, but that just disables WiFi calling over LTE. It does say regular WiFi Calling should be available.
On my phone when I go to Network & Internet > Cellular Networks> I see my Preferred Network Type which was Automatic, I switched it to LTE/CDMA. That does not seem to have opened any additional settings for me in the dialer or elsewhere.
Thanks again for all your support. If you have any other suggestions, let me know, but you have offered a lot already.
