hello, on my HTC ONE V the tata docomo internet is dammn slow! anyway to increase its speed ???
First thing the speed isnt because of the phone it depends on your router and how much mb uve took,also you are able to add wifi performance in settings but drain battery quickly anfd make videos quality bad

Is that 2g or 3g?? You can check that in the notifications when you switch on the net. Also, ask tata docomo for help, not xda.
Check in the notifications if it's showing "G", "E", "3G" or "H". Which one is showing for you?
its showing E

Then its 2g , you mist tell the operator to activate 3g services on your phone. If you already did that and still getting 2g, then your area doesn't have docomos 3g coverage area. Worst case, try idea or vodafone or airtel (not Bsnl).

To get high speed your device must show "3G" or "H". Hence, there is no problem with your device. It's working completely fine. My advice, take Aircel. It is by far the best network operator in terms of 3G internet plans in India. Send "START 3G" to 121 from Aircel and then recharge from multiple range of tariffs from Rs. 8 to Rs. 997 which best suits your needs.

Hi All
I was never a t-mobile fan but they offerd me a deal was not bad, 35 pm 18 mnth desire free and unlimited internet , but the internet under web n walk is is very slow , after 4 phone call to t mob , looking at my account checked all the settings i cant get over 360kbs on HSDPA , which is stupidly slow and i it seems that i have to pay for a booster to get my speed up.
As per tru call centre experiance I get different reasons every time i cal,l 1 person said that ur data setting are not right our end, the other said that i have fixed it , another said " nah sorry that ur speed ".
Has any 1 else experianced this or can i change anything on my phone to enable HSDPA " I get the H sign" as it feels like 3g speed.

Since T-Mobile adopted their "Unlimited internet" plans for Android etc contracts, they have reduced their speeds. I spoke with one of their technical support teams who confirmed it.
If you pay extra and get Web n Walk Max (usually only available on business tarrifs now) you will get full speed.
Its poo! Me and my brother had the same issue
i got around 900 at one point on 3g, recently only been getting around 500 though. On t-mobile 35 month plan too.
I get about 500kbps on H. This is quick enough for me for a mobile device! Pages load up very quickly. I can understand the need to ration the bandwidth on a cellular service, especially when the tariffs are so cheap (I pay £10 a month for unlimited internet, 100 mins, unlimited landlines).
Ok, I had the same problem..data capped at 356K.
I phoned T-Mobile and found they had the wrong phone registered to my account. they had a Nokia something not the desire.
As soon as the lady the other end change it to the correct phone (apparently thier system works this way) I got full HSDPA speeds - well 2.8M but better than before.
Seems that the shop i got the phone from (Movbilephonesdirect) just register any old phone to your SIM.
just done a test. getting 1.78mbps down and 0.38 up on H. still on original g1 android plan as only upgraded phone.

Had same problem - t-mobile could not get full speed even after changing phone on system, Canceled t-mobile contract due to could not get more than 360kbps.
i will begetting on vodafone now.
I had this problem, they told me to take it to the T-Mobile store to check it.
So I go 5 minutes down the road, albeit "Truley" in the city centre.
Do a speedcheck at the store and I'm getting 1.8mb
It seems their internet coverage is very hit and miss (either that or because I'm usually doing my speedchecks indoors )
I'm getting two different reading! In my area I can pick up full bar with HSDPA. Using speedtest app, I only get 360Kbps on HSDPA max. but when I go the browser and check speedtest in www.mobilespeedtest.com I get on average 2686Kbps using 1MB test. who is right?
I called up t-mobile before I done the test on www.mobilespreedtest.com. to complain about getting 360kbps, they done all the routing checked:which are checking my htc desire is register to my sim card, my present area postcard can pick up 3G&HSPDA, switching it to GMS only, than WCDMA only, take out the battery, and sim card, rebooting it etc but no luck after I test the speed again in speedtest app. at the end all they can say was the phone is new and they don't have the configuration setting on their system to assist me at this present time!
can someone else test their speed at www.mobilespeedtest.com pls, and compare it to speedtest app if you have that installed.

For all people on T-Mobile receiving speeds of around 360kbps on HSDPA connections:
You need to dial 150, select technical support. Tell the operator that you are only receiving 3g speeds of around 360Kbps in HSDPA location. You must advise the operator that you have done speed tests that reflect this.
They should then upgrade your account to receive HSDPA speeds.
The reason you only get 360Kbps is because you are on Web 'N' Walk which is a handset only broadband service.
T-Mobile are generally more than happy to upgrade the account to receive the higher speeds. Just make sure you speak to technical support and not customer services as they will not have a clue about this.
mine on Mobile speed test says 889kbps
Did the 1mb test and it says 2740kbps which was top of the charts!

Agree with this 100%. I had this problem a few years ago. Customer Servicves DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT HSDPA is. Ask for technical support, do not let them fob you off. The whole point of 'H' is that you are getting speeds of 360kps+, not 360kbps max.
Just done test I'm getting 3200kbps, full signal on H.

Using your site, im getting speeds in EXCESS of HSPDA speeds.
Therefore I can only assume theres something wrong with your site.
Fon22 (tmobile)
i got my phone from an HTC retailer in Tottenham Court Road (London) and put my old HTC Touch Diamond 2 t-mobile sim card in it that i got from Mobilephonesdirect.
I've not done anything special on my phone or even told t-mobile and I live in a crappy town called Aldershot in the middle of the sticks but my results were
Your speed: 2657.807 Kbps
Your latency: 0.3 seconds
Transferred 1000 KB in 3.01 seconds
which isn't too bad i guess
Mobilespeedtest.com seems inaccurate. It's giving me very fast scores and I'm in a basement. I can hardley make phone calls yet I'm getting readings of 2000+ Kbps. Speedtest.net is giving a more realistic 1,300 Kbps
Web'n'walk settings
Hi guys,
totally new here and to Mobile Internet. Could someone please let me know of the settings for web'n'walk on the HTC Desire?
I tried the t-mobile.co.uk but is currently down. Also sent a text to have settings automatically sent to my phone, but response said 'Device not supported'.
I have a sim-free phone with a t-mobile solo (pay monthly) plan. Do I need to somehow activate web'n'walk? I tried some stuff* on my phone, but no luck.
Is there an icon that should appear on top of my sceen when I've got 3G coverage?
Any help appreciated!
Cheers,
Stefanos

Neither, Just joining forces.
Calling themselves everything and everywhere.
Just so one biggest uk service provider by a mile.
However they have had to give 3 UK 300 or so masks, something to do with
fair competition rubbish. So if your on 3 you will also benefit from the joining
To be honest, my reception for 2G and 3G has drastically improved in the last 2-3 days (T-mobile). I usually had zero bars on both (-107 dBm) at home and very rarely a bar showed up. Now, I'm at -93 to -101 dBm with GPRS and HSPDA, consistently. Mostly the latter (at 2Mbps dl, 0.6Mbps ul, 50ms ping through the Speedtest app).

Nope, but I did change the settings to false ones, tried connecting through those a few times, and then reinserted the proper settings back. Restart phone > disable radio using the HTC Functional Testing app > wait a few mins > re-enable radio using the same app > then reconnect mobile data.

I get H all the time but I'm right under the Antenna that's supposed supposed to putting out hspa+ plus so I should be getting H+
Hi
Only had my S2 for a few days but its active here in Clacton.
Speeds are around 3222 and 1000 which I think is 1 to 3.2 meg
I must say its much faster than my old N900
480kps on H can't be bad then!
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Works fine the other way around too getting H on Orange and Orange T-Mobile
I guess then even though all networks have been quietly rolling out hspa+
the only network where you get proper 3.5g speeds is 3. My friend had his galaxy nexus phone peak at 21mps on 3 network.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Have had over 8meg on the local 3 mast, but it still only shows H, not H+.
I think the H+ is something orange put it their ROM, like some Vodafone HTCs used to show 3g+ instead of H.
IIRC it is just graphics in the framework-res file. As to whether they all come with it I don't know. I don't think I've seen mine (unbranded on tmobile) show H, never mind H+. That being said though, I've got it setup to use openzone networks where-ever it can, which turns out is quite often!
I get H, but not H+. I usually get around 3-4mbit down and 2-3mbit up
On 3, with a 3 branded rom so only get H. Haven't checked extensively, but highest speed so far has been 9032kpbs down and 3475kpbs up.
Nearly as fast as my cable broadband down and much faster than anything up.
All this on a truly unlimited internet package which includes tethering

Looking at the replies to the thread I would say that's almost certain that the h+ icon ISN'T a standard, but infact depends on phone manufacturer and Rom

I'm with 3 too. I just did a speed test and I got 7578kpbs down and 3833kbps up. The download isn't as fast as my broadband as I have 100mb but the upload is close as I generally get 5mb - 8mb upload on my broadband.
I also have tethering - useful seeing as last months data usage was 4GB
I have seen the H+ on my wifes GS2 but never seen it on my One X.
I've seen 14mbps Max on three.
What's funny is that technically t mobile can reach these speeds as well but all standard plans are capped at 3.8mbps
I'm in Switzerland Swisscom Provider.
Galaxy S2 with H+ Icon = 10000 Kbits download
HTC One X without H+ Icon 4500 Kbits.

No such thing as hsdpa+ its hspa.
We've already concluded that the h+ icon is rom specific. Lots of people including me have had high speeds still only showing h. My top speed is a little over 10meg

Hi all, i switched from bsnl to idea recently, i called up the customer care to to activate 3g services.. To do this, you have to first see whether your handset is compatible with 3g or not(Well of course it is)... What i heard was (that was the computer speaking) "Hi! Your handset supports 3g, but does not support high speed internet and video calling. We recommend atleast upgrading to a 3.6 mbps modem
Now, i know that one v does not support hspa+ network and video calling, but what is high speed internet?
Is it a mistake in Idea??

Has anyone else had problems with signal on the G5 ?
I live out in the country and the signal has always been a bit hit and miss but I could always use my G3 inside and out, just had a new G5 and the signal is much worse.
Could it be a faulty phone (fine in town though) or is it just how they are, don't really want to go back to old phone but thinking about it.
Check if is so with both 3G, 4G

It's the same with both
Also takes much longer to find signal again once lost.
Wish i could help you. I use my phone in country side with 2g and to me the phone seems to act like all others i've had. You could try to change it but it can also be that for lower sars numbers the signal strength is lower.
It's been a while but finally got to exchange it and I've still got the same problem, annoying thing is I can get a reasonable signal on an old phone but not the g5.
Is there a decent alternative to the g5 for the £200 mark ?

An old phone might be using a 2g network which will be alot stronger in the country
Moto g5 is set to use 4g by default which is non existent in the country in some places
You can change it to force it to only use 3g though
Goto settings
More
Mobile networks
Preferred network type
Change to 3g
Some networks like Three in the UK don't even have a 2g network - their minimum is 3g
My advice is to do a Google search for what mobile phone masts you have in your area and what network owns them and get a payg sim for that network (or company that uses that network eg giffgaff use O2 network)
I've tried the 3g setting but it makes no difference
From past experience it's only really the o2 network that works around here, rest of the family have iphones and samsung all on the same network and it's only the g5 that is unusable.
