I have one problem with my HTC 10 (international version). When i am in the area with no 3g signal, i don't have internet access. There is E (EDGE, 2g) sign but without internet access. You probably think that internet is just slow, but it is not. I can't even send wp or viber text message. 3g and 4g work fine. Do you know where is the problem?

I am using HTC desire (T-mobile UK) for past 28 days. Most of the time my friends tell me that they are not able to reach me. They get the message something like not reachable.
I did not know what was the problem initially. But finally I found that the issue was when I browse internet. At my office I only get '2G' signal inside the office building. The problem is when I am browsing internet in my office (using the available 2G signal) then I cannot receive any voice calls. Who ever try to call me while I am browins in 2G will get a message "*** The mobile number you have called is currently unavailable please call again later ***"
This problem does not accur when I browse internet in '3G' or 'H'.
Is this the issue with T-mobile network or with the HTC desire phone.. please help.. Thank you
my phone is in wcmda only mode, so i would not know about that problem mate... I will try it out on gsm only and see what occurs

Looks like you've just been given an answer over on the t mobile forum. Quoted from 'Chippy':
This is a limitation of GSM/GPRS. If you have a PDP context (GPRS conection) but *no* activity is occuring i.e. no data transferred at that specific time, then someone should be able to ring you and the connection will just be suspended while they do. However, if the GPRS connection is active at the time then the channels needed by the the network to page the mobile are in use and the person calling will get an engaged tone. This a perfectly normal limitation of a 2G network and not a fault of either the phone or the carrier. Do you not have W-FI at work you could use?
Try putting your phone into WCMDA mode only and see if you keep a good enough reception to warrant its use
Tmobile is set up to reject calls when the GPRS is active. You will only get a call when on 3G on tmobile. Vodafone is the only operator in the UK that drops data to take the call on GPRS.
I never knew that. Now all those missed calls on t-mobile makes sense now. where I work has poor 3G service and I guess with so much syncing now there is more chance of a connection being active when a call comes in.

hi,
just a stupid tech question that keeps me wondering.
i have a HTC Touch pro2
i'm happy running android and windows mobile latest HTC ROM on it.
now the strange thing is...
on WinMo i never, ever got a 3g signal only Hspda and most of the time Edge.
so basicly my speed s*cks.
now the other hand.
on android on running 3g almost all the time, and speeds are super.
what the heck is going on?
i would think to Stable HTC rom would be the best for now, but it is't.
so the question.
what is android doing differently then winMo with the same APN settings on the same location. that one gets Edge and android gets 3G?
ps...
you android devs... keep up to good work.
HSDPA is 3g lol.
High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) is an enhanced 3G (third generation) mobile telephony communications protocol in the High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA) family, also dubbed 3.5G, 3G+ or turbo 3G, which allows networks based on Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) to have higher data transfer speeds and capacity
Thought: when in WinMo do you use Internet Explorer? b/c no matter what your connection speed is, that browser is super slow. If that's the case try Opera Mobile 10 (fast + stable) or Opera Mini 5 (faster + slightly buggy).
If this doesn't apply to you feel free to ignore that advice
3G
mmmh
on wiMo if i start up my data connection
my icon of the data connection goes verry fast to the following letters
3G
H
E then my connection works
and sometimes G
so i think it's
3G
Hspda
Edge
Gprs
my i'm wrong
but on the same place i boot to android
and it's 3G and sometimes goed to E = edge
is it that android sees the 3G and HSPDA as one?
ps i'll try the browser thing, idd still IE

Yes, android sees 3g and HSDPA (DPA - "Downlink Packet Access" not PDA - "Personal Digital Assistant") as the same thing. In WinMo the "H" is a faster connection than the "3G".
I suggest trying different radios

FYI: If the "H" signal bugs you try downloading Advanced Config for WM. I think it's on the marketplace and change the "Show HSDPA icon" to no. It will continue using HSDPA (because, as said here, HSDPA is faster) but it will show the 3G icon at the top.
I'm almost the time, have 3g signal....I already call several times on video call (only works on 3g)
Various apps (Facebook, Market, Head to Head & Internet Browser) will only download data when there is a connection to the HSDPA signal.
The 3G signal has shown as 3 or 4 bars but will consistently not download any data. Once the HSDPA signal is found, then the download starts. This can be frustrating as there isnt always a HSDPA signal.
i tried to insert another network provider sim card and it showed 3G and when i tried to launch for example browser it instantly changed to HSDPA icon and loaded pages so i didnt check anything... (i couldnt recreate a situation when only 3g was available, no HSDPA)
I currently am on DHD by baadnewz 1.7b but this also happend on Stock Desire Froyo.
any advices ?

HSDPA or High-Speed Downlink Packet Access is 3G..Actually enhanced 3G or 3.5G

if so, then why nothing downloads when 3G is showing ? if hsdpa is 3g and hsdpa works fine...

It's difficult to comment. If you're rooted, try another custom rom with an updated radio.
i have the newest radio

If the "3G" signe appears in your phone, this means that it's trying to connect to your carrier's network. Once you're identified your can start to use data connection, then you get "H" "E" or another depending on the technology used by your carrier.
H goes for HSDPA, E Edge and so on...
So the lagg time is when your carrier tries to search whether you've got acces to a data plan or not.
Hi guys!
I have a strange problem with my One X. When my network is on 3G/HSDPA i have perfect internet. But when i'm at school, i have only G network. The problem is, when i'm on G network (full signal bars) i have no internet acces, no google talk acces, nothing!. As soon as my network jumps to 3G/HSDPA i have network access again!
I don't know what the problem is. But i guess you people can help me out!
Thank you very much!
Edit: I also tried to reboot, airplane mode, mobile data on/off. No go!
could be just because gprs is so slow and sucks so bad, that everything is just timing out?
try forcing the phone to use wcdma only when you're at school, then it might have just one bar signal, but that'll still be better than gprs.
i have to do that at work to be able to stream videos in the car park lol. otherwise it simply doesn't work.
Haha allright! Nsh it worked yesterday lol. Maybe something to do with sim card?
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
could be a network outage possibly (i work for a comms company, and we get notifications for o2, used to get orange and vodafone notifications as well for when the networks go down, or having maintenance, and they do have lots of problems)
could just be they're either doing maintenance or the local mast is having a problem with 2g.
if it worked fine before, i'd try calling the network provider first and reporting the issue, they may well advise new sim, but i doubt its the sim if the 3g is working and 2g isn't, sounds like a network issue.
I take it you've tried rebooting your phone?
Couldn't find anything in the search function so.....
My phone signal often shows 'H' or 'H+' when I'm not in a 4G area but I simply cannot get an internet connection. I cannot use Chrome, Facebook, Twitter, pretty much any app that requires a network connection. This is VERY frustrating. Once I'm in a 4G area it works fine. I'm currently on a 4G contract with EE.
Any ideas?
Get a better carrier.
I had exact same problem. The signal was strong but i just didn't get any internet... until the change.
