I've seen quite a few posts with people all over the world having issues with 3G internet issues with the 1.51 radio update? I would like to keep it because it is the fastest radio pertaining to phone response but the internet issue is big. It works fine on edge but when dropping into 3G, no success. I've seen some people have no problems at all and this internet issue seems random (I know its not). Anyone know a solution to this (besides going back to 1.50)?

Well, perhaps this radio versión is originaly intended for some carriers only.
For me, Orange Spain, works great with 3G and HSDPA. As great as 1.50 one.
1.51 issues
I've heard some have success on the same carrier (I'm in the US) and most are having the issue. I thought that originally too but I've seen people have it work on ATT and mine does not. 1.50 may become the solution after all.

i hear too that ATT is migrating his 3G network in some cityes. This can be the cause that works for someone and don't work for all ppl with ATT.
I only can say works great in Orange Spain.

works great in Orange Israel
Working fine on the 3G Cingular network here in New Haven, CT also working fine on both ROGERS and FIDO neworks in Canada
... and it´s working great with Movistar here in Spain. As with other Radios you have to go with what suits your network best. I had loads of problems with 1.46, 1.47 and 1.48 but this (1.51) and 1.50 are fine here on my home network.

works great in germany-tmobile
I'm reading a lot of "1.51 works great" posts. It "works great" for me too unless I turn on 3G in a 3G coverage area. Then the internet access stops working. Since that is the problem specifically, please indicate whether you tested 3G internet. As of now I can only assume that everyone has.
3G working great for me in Los Angeles, CA. I'm actually in 3G area in San Fernando Valley for those in LA, but I haven't had a single problem.
Issues in UK?
Any one running this on T-Mobile UK?
Cheers
Not Working
In Kansas City area, with 3G connects but just shows "locating...." until finally says site not available. note: get 3G icon, switches to H icon and back but would not locate site)

I am in Michigan on AT&T and I am having the smae problems as you, No UMTS at all If I turn off 3g I can get internet, but once i turn it on "can't load page error's" pop up. I noticed that in network setup that with 1.51 it defults to CDMA instead of GSM but even if I try to change it reverts back to Wcdma so I thought by reading these post of people that have a working ver that maybe thiar carrier is Cdma but I see AT&T post from Georgia and Texas that are having no problems and Cingular/AT&T are GSM only. So I am baffieled. I saw right off the bat a strong improvement in my bars after I flashed it. I normally see 2 to 3 and it jumped to 5 a strong 5 that is why I am hoping one of the super cooks can offer us a soultion. anyway good luck let me know if you find out .
This Radio woks gr8 for nordic Countries. i get it atry today its OK
I've had a Nexus one suffering with weak 3G reception on O2 UK and am wondering if the HTC Desire (a very close cousin), has the same problems ???
I would hate to get a HTC Desire and still have the same 3G problems.
The Issues I had with the Nexus One was the the phone would pickup and try keeping hold of a 3G signal, but it picked it up very weak, a 20-30dBm less than other phones.
Thanks for the information
Ash.
I thought N1's problem was dropping 3G, not weak signal.
Updated from G1 to Desire and I couldn't tell that 3G is weaker or stronger -- seems about the same.
O2 !!
I have an Iphone and the 3G coverage for O2 is just silly compared to T-Mobile , Orange etc. I would say it is more likely the O2 network coverage at fault rather than the phone . Look on the O2 forum thousands of complaints about no Strong 3G signal in London !! on all phone makes .
Moving to T-mobile or Orange as soon as I can
I agree O2 3G is very poor, tried a friends voda sim in my touch HD and speed tested at 4000kbs where my O2 could only manage 900kbs.
To where I live, Ive tested T-Mobile, 3UK, O2 and Vodafone and they all suffer 3G Signal loss for me when using a Nexus One.
Have you tried a different location or a different handset in the same location. It could be you are just in a poor reception area or on the edge of 3G coverage.
The signal issue has nothing to do with n1-desire. T-mobile just sucks. n1 for at&t works fine but my n1 with t-mobile 3g sucks a$$.

The OP means T-Mobile UK not T-Mobile US
It's fine for me on T-Mobile, it drops between HSDPA and 3G A lot though.
Maybe there's a problem with the antenna in your handset?
Ive lived as the same location for 10 years and had good 3G reception with loads of other phones.
Just interested to knowing how other people are getting on with it.
Thats not good then ash, hope you get it sorted some how and the same problem does not exist with the desire.
I think the problem is a combination of things... I live on the South Coast and have a Nexus One on Vodafone, 3G/HSDPA is great.
Google Nexus One had that bug but it was fixed in update and since Desire comes with that update installed you are fine

Sorry I misread your post, I have no 3G issues with T-Mobile on the Desire. So it doesn't seem to have the same bug that the Nexus One did.
Great signal so far - been all over Scotland the past weekend and if I didn't have H it went to 3G and if not then to G - and i was very pleasantly surprised to see that the web worked the whole time - just faster or slower. When my G1 didn't have a good 2G signal I couldn't use facebook or twitter, both were OK on the Desire - just slower to load!
By the sounds of it so far so good. Potentially not a lemming after all !!!!
Hi,
I have looked everywhere for a solution with no luck
I just bought a htc one x from Singapore unlocked and unbranded, i live in Australia and i am having really slow data speeds on telstra next g.
Phone calls and txts are great, but speed tests are terrible! My latest results are
DL: 0.28kps UL 0.38kps to my nearest server.
So im just asking if there is any hope to rectify this problem like a different radio or rom, anything really.?
thanks guys

please don't delete this thread
Hi I have noticed that since being on jellybean roms I have poor 3g speeds, I don't use 3g much because I am usually in wifi range and I have low data allowance, but I often use it to quickly log into my bank account etc. It takes one minute or more just to log in. It used to take a couple of seconds.
My carrier is TPG, an Optus (Australia) reseller which uses UMTS2100MHz/900MHz.
The phone says Mobile Network Type: HSDPA:8
Baseband is I9250XXKK6. I have not flashed a baseband on its own before on this phone, just used whatever came with the rom I guess. Have tried AOKP jb and euroskank CM10. Both the 3g is super slow. Never had this problem on ICS.
My boyfriend has a nexus S still on ICS on the same carrier and his speeds are fine.
Anyone in Australia on Optus/optus reseller can tell me the baseband they found to be the best? I see a couple of AU baseband but they say best for 850mhz (telstra) network
Thanks guys
Just tried the XXLF1 radio. I used the app GetRIL and it said that would be the best match for my rom but the 3g is still terrible.
