Hey all!
i need some help guys, i cant make my 3g/hsdpa internet work on my phone. im stuck with a "e" meaning im using edge and never seen the "H" or "3g" icon to use high speed internet.
ive been reading about flashing, and roms and whatnot and i think im in the right place on how to fix it, but have no idea where to even begin..
if someone can help...greatttly appreciated.....
thankx
If you are looking to update / flash your ROM, I would suggest going to PPCGEEKS (http://www.ppcgeeks.com). They have a forum dedicated to CDMA Diamond ROMs and flashing. Everything you need, from how to unlock your phone to how to load a new ROM is there. A lot of the information found here is for international versions of the Diamond, PPCGeeks is mainly North American versions of the phone (from what I have seen). I have a Diamond with Bell Mobility, and I have found a lot of good information on PPCGeeks. You should have a look!
Hope this helps.
Unless the Touch Pro you got is the AT&T Fuze, you will not be able to get 3G. The 3G bands for all other Touch Pros are for Europe and Asia. Only the AT&T Fuze has the same 3G frequency as Rogers/Fido.

Hello all-
I just got in my Diamond today and after working on it about an hour, I still can only get Edge (and very small reception and SSLLOOWW data). I currently have a tilt with a flashed ROM running 6.1 and got perfect 3G reception from it here at my desk. I use At&t here. Could the lack of the 850 band be my issue. Please give me some clues or point me to a tutorial to get everything set up to par for my Diamond. I've already searched this whole forum.
Thanks a lot!
Oh dear here we go again....if you had done a search you would have saved yourself so much hassle.
The Diamond you have wont support 3G on AT&T because its missing a £G attenna...even though your settings will show that it can support the band for AT&T 3G but in reality you CANNOT get 3G access with the Diamonds that are out at the moment.
Only way your going to be able to get 3G in America is by waiting for the proper American version of the phone...as to when its out...could be july/August.
Well...Thats the bad part of me that gets way too excited. I'm going to try to return it. I'm sure my fiance that im marrying in 3 weeks will love to hear the news of my lack of research. Thanks!
LOL its ok...its just been explained a few times on here that the Diamonds that are on the market arent really suitable for the American 3G market...your just gonna have to wait a bit for the American version.
For what i's worth - thanks for your time with a stupid question.

No problems buddy, its ok...thats what we are here for...to help each other out.
Apologies if i was a bit abrupt in my first post...been a long day
no 3g
for what it is worth, i have the same issue with no 3g but i have edge and so far find it fine for what i need it for. For others, the added speed that you get may be worth it. I love my Diamond otherwise, despite the battery. I will however get the usa version when it comes out, mainly for reception purposes since i feel the lack of 850 band lessens the reception a little... But so far I love it. Btw i have the ME rom which is fast and smooth and have no issues so far other than i cant hide the SIM contacts even with the tweak.
Any of you guys bought the unbranded Diamond that are using it in Canada? (Rogers, Fido) ? Are you able to take advantage fo the 3G network or no? Trying to figure out if I should wait for a possible North American release (not the Telus Diamond) or if it really matters at all. (North American one might have more ram??)
Thanks!
Anyone? :|
I'm on Rogers. Got my diamond last week and upgraded with the Diamond Project V2 ROM for quad-band. Don't have a data plan (too expensive), and only use wifi, but the phone has shown a G on the status bar once in awhile. Don't know if that means it's available....
I've had a diamond on Rogers for about 6 weeks now. No 3G, even with the newest ROM's. It does get EDGE (E) in most places in Toronto, and GPRS(G) elsewhere.

Hmm ok, not that I use 3G much (I usually disable it for battery reasons), but maybe I shall awhile just to see what happens. I'd like the option of 3G.
Thanks guys!~
Hello I'm planning to buy the new htc touch pro2 when it comes out so my question is..I live in the U.S and I would like to buy the european touch pro2 so i was just wondering if i can use it with one of these networks verizon wireless/at&t/t-mobile/cingular or does it have to be a network from europe?

Hi
You can use it with some networks (Not CMDA) and you´ll loose 3G pretty sure (Unless htc develops an american version)
However I´m using my Uni in Mexico since 2005 and works well on my carrier (www.telcel.com) and I can´t connect to 3G, but personally not care as long as I have WIFI or WIMAX wich I do.
Good day,

Thank you for your answer...i know people with a htc tytn II (european version) and they are using at&t but the 3g doesnt work...I'm sure at&t and t-mobile will work but not verizon am I right? Thanks!
For usa: 1900/2100=3g - 1800/1900=no 3g

Yes sir, you are right. Verizon, Sprint and others use CDMA technology, wich is different from AT&T, T-Mobile, etc. that use GSM. If you don't know how to tell the diff, it's pretty simple....SIM card=GSM, NON SIM card=CDMA.
Also the US network uses UMTS/HSDPA (850/900/1900/2100 MHz), while the European network works on 850/900/1800/1900 MHz.
So, if you buy the touch pro2 you won't get 3G in USA, unless AT&T come out with......let's say something like "FUZE 2" or I read somewhere that the name was revealed already (but don't remember).
Yes i have a question concerning about the 3G network for AT&T. I have read alot of sticky's, threads new and old and can't seem to get a definite answer to what i am looking for. I really didnt want to post this, but i have searched everything by going into the search tab at the top. So i was wondering does the version Diam100 from EU/Asia have the hardware to support 3G for AT&T. I know it says it in the tabs on the phone that it can recieve the 3G band, but i have read its the hardware that can't but they werent sure. I've also read that some people say it needs a newer radio and/or ROM to get 3G. I really dont want to flash a new radio onto my phone if i dont need it. Can someone so kind as to tell me if it is or it is not capable so i can decide to keep the phone or not.
Thank you ever so much,
Xero
EU/Asia diamond won't work in US, i even tired swapping a US radio into a Euro Diamond and still didn't work. Only US diamond with US radio will give you 3G.
Hope it helps.
Kinda figured. But how bout this. Can anybody answer this its most likely a no but im just curious. Can you add/change the hardware from inside to receive 3G? And if so how? I know the answer is a no but someone might of done it or figured it out without messing up the phone.
us vs north america

p3700 about to try udk's R3 i think its the latest htc stock radio 1.11.25.01
currently XBoxmods
Just about to get one. Im on Tmobile USA. Wondering about speeds etc that Ill be able to recieve with it, and if itll be compatible with US Tmobile.
Checked your Wiki in the questions section for this - needs a fix - all the wiki links in that thread lead to a blank samsung omnia 2 wiki fyi. Searched, couldnt find my answers.
Currently using a Mytouch, and a Cliq, and a sidekick lx. Looking to advance a bit.
To those who have one...... in comparison to Mytouch - how is the responsiveness? Screen brightness? Battery life? Man its just that Snapdragon processor drawing me in lol
of all the gsm androids i think the only one so far to not use the us tmobile bands is the liquid...
lucky for many also, is the first to use 3g 1900mhz (finally)
for tmobile its best to get a nexus one
