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

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 !!!!

What is your WiFi speed like?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Have you checked your APN settings?
my wifi speed is super fast, as fast as my desktop speeds,
i have set my apn settings to the recommended telstra settings an everything works just data is slow.
i spoke to HTC and they said that the IMEI number was suited to India, and that there was no way to fix this. I even mentioned flashing the radio and he said it was hardware specific so software couldn't change it.
Is he lying??
Here is a helpful link for telstra phones. I know your phone isnt 4G but it cant help to have a look at the article.
It says to change your APN to telstra.internet.
Have a look at your to see if it says telstra.datapack
http://www.lifehacker.com.au/2012/05/how-to-get-an-overseas-4g-phone-working-on-telstras-4g-network/
(Most recent result) I'm gettting 9.97Mbps down and 1.01Mbps upload over Telstra Next G in Melbourne. Fastest 3G mobile I've ever seen.
Your area is either very congested or your antenna on the inside of the phone is loose. Try testing around midnight when things are quiet and let us know...

Thanks for your results proves that it is possible to have this hand set working on Telstra with blazing speeds,
I have tested at all hours of the day and its speed are consistently slow. last night at 11pm i tested it and got the exact thing i got at 4pm earlier that day.
My apn settings are exactly what it should be, is my baseband firmware different to you guys or anything? i am on 1.1204.103.14.
i tested my phone at midnight and the fastest i got was 0.79 dl and 0.91 upload.
i have ordered a new one x from mobi city and im returning the one from ebay due to some screen defects as well.

I hope that resolved it for you. I will note that I have been 'Speed Testing' Telstra for a couple of years now, and sometimes I do see results that are as bad as yours. My most recent test on my HOX got me results that bad! But mostly mine are very good. If you are consistently getting results that bad then I would suggest your handset may be faulty.
p.s. Try flashing a custom ROM that allows you to disable 'Fast Dormancy'. LeeDroid and Team Pkmn are two that come to mind.
p.p.s. I also found that using any AOSP ROM's such as Trip's CM9, that data speeds were terrible, consistently. The only ones I can get good speed with are HTC (custom and stock) ROM's. In fact I think better to be custom with regards to my point above about Fast Dormancy.
thanks for advise guys.
In the end i sent back the phone and ordered a replacement which works great! no defects yay. network speed is around 5-8mbdl and 500kps-3mb ul.
so it was just a dud phone that was holding me back.
now its time to flash some roms!
im having data speed problems on att. im getting like .3 down and like 1 up. i got the apn settings off android police. im running cleanrom 3.1 standard. yes i have the one x i just havnt changed my signature

Most AT&T data speed issues are from the plan provisioned in your account not being mapped correctly to the SIM and/or APN's you're using. If you're on a MEdia Net or data for Non-Smartphones plan you need to use the Cingular APN. If you're on a 4G plan you need to use the "Phone" APN. You can do a search on XDA to find the respective settings. Some people in the SGS3 forum that were on the prepaid $50 unlimited plan had their data shut off a couple of days ago. If you're on that plan look up the thread on the international SGS3 forum. It's not the phone because I'm on the data for Non-Smartphones plan and am getting better data speeds than I did with my i9100. I didn't have to touch the settings. I popped the SIM in, the phone read the settings, and I was good to go.

hi guys, im in the u.k and owened this phone for over a year..
just wondering if there are any radio upgrades available for this phone as the reception is seriously poor, now im not sure if i was just unlucky in getting a bad handset, or if its to do with the frequencys used in the u.s & u.k. (i checked before i got the phone and the frequencys should be the same)
when im in the house i put my sim card in my old htc desire z & turn on wifi hotspot and use my glide using wifi.
so, i was just wondering if there were any tricks i can do to improve reception such as flashing a diffrent radio version?
thanks people..
