Help with configuring my HTC Tilt(8925) for T-Mobile 3GNewwork?

Hi everyone!!
I'm a rooky with this. I'm currently using RUU_Kaiser_HyperDragon_III_BlackStone_WWE_20081203 rom. I'm currently getting Edge service. Is there anyone kind enough to help me or guide me through how to setup my HTC Kaiser 8925 into T-Mobile 3G network? is this possible?

T-Mobile 3g configuration
hey... i have a tilt also and i have unlocked it and am using it with T-Mobile. It is my understanding that the tilt is incapable of operating on the T-Mobile 3g network as AT&T uses the 2100mhz frequency to both upload and download on their data network. T-Mobile uses 1700mhz and 2100mhz frequencies. One of them for uploads and one for downloads. I do not know which is which, but you would need to have both to function on T-Mobile. To the best of my knowledge the latest version of the factory unlocked kaiser has all the frequencies required to function on T-Mobile 3G network. I believe it is the 140 version.

wrong answer. ATT doesn't use the 2100 band at all. Otherwise we wold all be importing phones like crazy. Tmobile has the 2100 band but it slightly off from the european version. There is no way to use Tmobile's 3g on the tilt.
BTW JaceNSteale you should know what your talking about before you start making assumptions as everything you said was incorrect. The only reason this angers me is because hacking these phones has become so easy you might cause someone to brick their device with some bad advice.

thanks for the answer everyone. one other question.
when i reconnect data connection or reboot my phone i do get G service but after few minutes my phone backs to Edge mode again. is there something that i could work with on the hardware part?

EDGE is faster than G which is GPRS. So when you phone boots up its using G then is negotiates a faster speed and starts using E.
Slow >>> Fast >>> Faster
GPRS(G) >>> EDGE(E) >>> 3G

Tilt AT&T to T Mobile
I paid cash for my Tilt and have had a contract with AT&T for 3 years, so I called and they gave me my unlock code with instructions to unlock my Tilt. It was a breeze.
I changed to Tmobile this week, and thought I did all my research......................but I can't get anything faster than Edge. This is very dissappointing!!!!! .... I use my phone as a tether to my Laptop.
From reading this post, looks like I'm stuck.
Question? .... If I got an unlocked Iphone, is there a way to unlock it so I can tether with it? ... and would it get 3g or HSPA.
The sad sad things is, I was using Kaiser Tweak with AT&T, and I was getting HSPA speed with internet. Amazing really .... so going down to Edge is like taking an inch on my privates. ha ha

Alternatives to TP2

Let's just say I am a real fan of WM 6.5 and my brief expereince with Android left me with much to desire. The TP2 is nice, but very large. I am stuck with T-mobile as they are the only ones that give me good signal at my house.
Does anyone know any good touch screen WM phones that can still utilize T-Mobile's 3G signal when unlocked?
Android would be awesome if it's native software would sync all of exchange and hotmail. If that was the case, I would go back. The K-9 software blows, and that is the only thing to come close to syncing hotmail. The Touchdown software for purchase works great with full exchange sync, but again, you must purchase it. Oh, and the camera sucks on the MT3G. Barely ever focuses.
The TP2 is great except the size. I don't really even need the slide-out keyboard. I actually prefer the touch keyboard.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Touch Diamond 2 (AKA AT&T Pure) is basically a TP2 minus the hardware keyboard. Maybe it's what you're looking for?

That would be great. But the way I understand it is that AT&T uses a different frequency for their 3G data than T-Mobile. And if the phone was already branded AT&T, it is set for that frequency. So even if you unlock it, it will not use 3G data from T-Mobile.
If I am wrong, please someone tell me, because it would be great to get that Touch Diamond 2.

After some quick searching on the interwebs, it looks like the Touch 2/Mega maybe what I am after or the HD2 (not released yet). Anyone know if the Touch 2 will work with T-Mobile 3G?

Unfortunately there is no real option other than the TP2 (or other 3G phones offered by T-Mobile) to get 3G service on the T-Mobile USA network.
It has to do with the frequencies that T-Mobile USA is using along with the type of 3G that they are implementing. A little web research indicates that T-Mobile is using the 1700/2100 frequencies with the 1700 used for uploading and the 2100 used for downloading.
You need both bands present to even think a phone will work on the T-Mobile 3G network, otherwise the best you can hope for is EDGE speeds.

I highly doubt that. T-Mobile only use 1700mhz. There are at least 4 phones listed on phonescoop that use Tmo's 3G and with only 1700mhz band, all samsung: SHG-T659, T749, T469 and T559. If Tmo uses 1700 for uploading and 2100 for downloading then those 4 phones listed above can only send MMS and not able to get on the internet? I highly doubt that.
Edit: You can try EMobile phones from Japan. They use 1700mhz band for their 3G.

[Q] Can someone get a korean radio on the Inc?

so, im pretty sure everyone has heard about the korean radio that gave the nexus one a 10x 3G Speed Increase, and i just wanted to know if anyone can port that over into the Incredible. im new to radios, so i dont know if there has to be any requirements for them.
also, ive also heard the speed increases are because of t-mobile releasing HSPA+ and not the radios, can anyone verify?

I've not heard about that, and all the reports I can find show a marginal at best improvement, and a 10x increase on an EVDO rev A network is impossible. The data rates just are not there.

I don't see this working in any way on the DInc since T-Mobile is a GSM network and Verizon is CDMA (hurry up and get LTE launched worldwide people! =p).

HSUPA in android.

I was wondering if it is possible to enable HSUPA in android.

After doing some more Googling, it seems you just mean HSPA in general... as in 3g? Yes, it should work just fine. Are you only getting 2g/EDGE...? If so, you'll see an E next to the network signal. If you get 3g, you'll see a 3g icon...

Hey,
i think he means HSDPA and is the abbreviation of "High Speed Downlink Packet Access". It is a connection faster than 3G. Within Windows Mobile i got H and in Android 3G. A Friend just got the Desire Z and here appears the H for HSDPA in the upper right Corner of the Screen. I'm from Germany so i don't even know if this connection is worldwide available?!
HSDPA for your Information is a connection than can run 14,6 Mb/s. I've only found Sites in German, i guess this is not helpful?! .

Are you talking about HSPA+...? I don't think our phones support that.

@arrrghhh: I Think our Rhodium100_de should support HSPA+ if it is what we are talking about. In Windows Mobile there are 4 different modes G -> E -> 3G -> H. So there is GPRS -> EDGE -> 3G -> HSDPA. HSDPA is wide ranged in Germany and in bigger cities normal connection. So can there be a difference between our Rhodiums, that ours support HSDPA and the sold Versions in other countries not? Or is it just an illusion that german providers make to receive more users???

Hm... HSPA is like 3.5g... if the companies wanted to brand it a name. I misspoke earlier when I said 3g was HSPA. HSPA+ is being branded "4g" but it isn't truly 4g...
With that said, evidently WiMax isn't 4g, so no carrier that is advertising their service as 4g is truly running "4g"... stupid ITU-R. I'm pretty sure the phone CAN do HSPA, but CANNOT do HSPA+...
Also after reading it would make sense, HSPA is faster than standard "3g", so that would stand to reason.
I guess you would be a good one to ask Bieka, does Android support your HSPA connection? The phone's don't support HSPA+.

Hey arrrghhh,
yes it supports HSPA and no it don't . I think that the shown connection speed in WinMob is a little bit confusing. Running Android i get "only" 3G but this is just the phone was made for. I explored many sites with facts to the phone and everywhere the same! Supported 3G -as you said too- but no HSPA+ what is called HSDPA by the Providers in Germany and is acually 3.5G. So no need to "implent" HSPA+ cause there is no phone support at all . I think that WinMob isn't able to display the right connection speed.
I also tested my connection shown up as 3G with the speettest.net app and i get a speed of 1.94 Mbps download. It's actually not the limit of 3G but it's ok to view most sites and view youtube stuff. I just wanted to test a difference between android and WinMob but i didn't found any apps like the one in android and speedtest.net (and others) are using flash on their sites so the browser can't display that. So i couldn't check if the shown H in the upper right of WinMob is "real" or just 3G?! If there where a difference between the WinMob Speed i could say it exactly. So is there an app you know about?

I was wondering this exact same thing the other day. I found this but havn't tested it. If i get a chance later I will as I get the H in winmob in the office here
OK I ran it twice with H showing in win and got a max of 7.37 Mbps and average 6.4Mbps

[Q] New phone yet mobile data is super slow

I purchased an ATT LG g3 and I still think it's great despite having a download speed of .5 mbps and an upload speed if 1.1 mbps ...
I called tech support but they weren't very useful so I was hoping you guys would be.
Any help would be appreciated.

Does it say LTE? It could just be that att sucks were you are. For it it will say I have LTE but my speeds will be just as slow. Its a network issue not necessarily a phone issue.

It says 4g LTE in the status bar. I've had ATT service before on an HTC one X where I could fetch 8-12 mbps. The support lady was very nice and said something about maintenance and other calls but I was unsure if maybe it was an isolated issue or not.

LG G3 on AT&T slow data connections
I have the same issue. My phone is about 1 month old, previously I had a Blackberry Z30 Unlocked and connection was way better, even with 2 bars I could use Pandora all day at work and could connect to apps, and websites. Now on LG G3 even Google Play won't connect many times as it times out because connection is too slow. I think there is an issue with the way LG G3 connects to AT&T, I mean how can an unsupported device like Blackberry Z30 (bought it on Blackberry site as AT&T doesn't sell it) work very well and yet LG G3, sold by AT&T doesn't work well.
PS : I get 4G and some occasional LTE, but still speed is pretty slow and device consumes the battery pretty quickly.
