I just swapped my note LCD assembly because I cracked original, and since than I have very weak UMTS signal.
By tearing it down again and reassembling (many times) I managed to make it work again but it lasted only a day and now signal is weak again.
GSM signal is ok (guessing GSM radio use another antenna, or path) but UMTS is so week that it struggle to register to network.
Anyone know where is UMTS antenna on this N7100?

Hi,
I'm currently using radio version 1.09.23. I've tried 3 other radio, the default, 1.05.*. No matter which radio I'm using the 3G reception is very weak on Three UK network.
Does anyone has any suggestion which radio they use for Three UK? London area.
Thanks
3's signal is usually weak. It's not phone's fault i guess.
my sony ericsson has a far better signal that the HTC and the SE holds the signal
im currently thinking about binning the Touch diamond and using the SE all over again and just use the HTC for my golf gps system bit of a waste tho
The GSM reception is absolutely fine. It's the 3G that is really dissapointing.
Yes, I had the same problem.
So, I bought a E71 from three.
Most of the time on E71 is 3G, sometimes 3.5G(that's HSDPA signal)
HTC supports 3G, but on my HTC phone, I only got HSDPA signal.
I thought the phone receive different 3G frequency.
As Three has weak HSDPA signal, so HTC receive weak signal with three.
So I had a test, I insert a T-mobile sim card.
T-mobile do the HTC diamond, so I thought they should support it .
The signal is very good.
In conclusion, I can only think that's frequency problem.
with my tp2, i recognized very poor connectivity. the phone permanently switch between 3g and gsm. in places where my old i780 had full 3g, my tp2 got gsm or at max. 1 bar 3g. is this a well known fact or some setting issue?
After about a week plus of having my TP2, i realize that where i normally am surfing the net, i don't have HSDPA anymore. All i get is 3G. It's strange cos when i put the sim card into my TP, it gets HSDPA right away.
I've taken my TP2 out and in town, it gets HSDPA so that pretty much confirms that there is no setting problem. I've flashed with all the available Radio from the radio thread and none seem to help. I still can't get HSDPA where i'm sitting now while my TP would have full strength.
Anybody else has this problem? Is there a way to force HSDPA connection?
Anybody?
I just hard reset my TP2 and still no "H". Took the TP2 out for a drive closer to tonw and i get "H" which again means nothing is wrong with the settings portion.
Take the sim card out and put it into my TP, i get a strong full strength "H" from where my TP2 could not get
Weird & sad cos i use my data plan a lot.
Try downloading something and see if actively using the data connection switches it over from 3g to H
Let me preface by saying I don't have TP2 yet, still waiting on AT&T
I think without using something like Advanced Config (assuming there is a rhodium version), it will only show 3G even if it is in fact an HSDPA signal. You can adjust the setting with advanced config to enable the H display. But it is just enabling the icon I believe.
With the stock rom on my worldwide version it comes up with H when i use the data connection, otherwise it sits on 3g even in full reception ;- ) why i suggested it
worldwide edition is; world 3G on GSM right? where can you get that one!

Worldwide except the USA I believe. Otherwise I would have bought it long ago
dammit!
I want to upgrade to this **** from my TyTN that is falling apart but no Canada 3G until 2010 quarter 2. thats when rogers upgrades to 2100
HSDPA is 3G. Some taskbars on the Touch Pro 2 label a 3G connection as "H" or HSDPA.
You are getting the same data speeds regardless of whether the "H" or the "3G" symbol can be seen on your phone.
However if you get an "E" or a "G" that means you will get EDGE speeds and GSM speeds respectively.
The fastest is as follows from left to right: 3G > EDGE > GSM
Thanx for the reply guys.
HSDPA is faster then 3G right? Or did i get that information wrong
Anyway HSDPA is already enable in my TP2 as when i move to other locations...say closer to town, i do get "H". I just feel that the reception is not as strong as that of the TP cos at home where my TP has HSDPA connection, my TP2 does not
I have a TP2 on the way and, T-Mobile's indoor reception for 3G is less than impressive so I was wondering if there was any way to block the phone from switching to EDGE when 3G reception isn't great like for the Android devices?
I did a quick search and came up short.
Yep, you go to Settings then Phone then the Band Tab and then you can Choose between Auto, GSM (2G), or WCDMA(3G).
I would however recommend keeping it on Auto, as your gonna get missed and dropped calls. Just wait for T-Mobile's coverage to get better or switch carriers. As I'm in a 3G fringe spot myself and by forcing WCDMA I can get 3G, but its still spotty. It has nothing to do about being indoors, as right outsite my house is pretty bad as well. I called T-Mobile and they confirmed my LOCAL tower is not 3G and the 3G I do get is fringe off another tower.
I get just good enough that when the leaves fell off it became slightly better the Auto setting would keep switching between 3G and GSM and killing my battery, so I actually have it set on GSM only as I can quickly turn on 3G when I need it in places it does exist.

Thanks for the tip. The pricing/voice quality is what keeps me here. I had AT&T but it's just overloaded here..
Reception just drops down to 2-3 bars indoors and that's if you have 3G extending out to your area, it's spotty (not enough towers extending out to housing developments) although the map shows Las Vegas blanketed in 3G. I'm not complaining though.

I have changed out the front panel assembly which includes the ldc screen and the digitizer. after i booted up and programmed the phone i do nbot have service unless i am in an area that has LTE coverage. the CDMA covered areas i am not picking up a signal and if i do it is very weak. most times though i register as no service if there is no LTE coverage.
Can someone pls help. i feel i have something not getting a good connection inside that is preventing me from getting the CDMA signal.
Thanks
