I've tried several resets, I even restored a two day old backup made via spb backup and yes, have also gone into "connection setup" under connections and let it setup AT&T as my provider which subsequently asks for restarting the pda. Also, the HSDPA utility is still showing a check mark on HSPDA On.
All of the above have failed to get my phone back to 3G speeds. I've even tried to surf/download thinking maybe just the icon is showing "G" or "E" however its painstakingly slow now.
So, its either the "G" icon or "E" is what shows now. This all happened when I looked at my phone this morning after SPB backup had performed its scheduled backup that was triggered around 2:30am.
other than that... THIS IS AN AMAZING ROM BY DUTTYTHROY!! YOU RULE DUDE..
oh.. almost forgot: my radio is 1.27.14.09 which I've read that only works with the AT&T Tilt, which is what I have. Just an FYI.
Someone please help as I'm a heavy data user hence can't afford to be without 3G/HSDPA ... TY

WTF... Thats messed up! I've had this problem just today though. Also, my Tilt isn't unlocked to the best of my knowledge.
Please - somebody tell me this isn't true!!!

Cite your sources.
I get 3G/HSDPA just fine on my Kaiser, whenever at&t actually built out some towers.
When I first tried this rom (radio 1.27.14.09) I lost all connection with AT&T but after several hours and traveling into another area everything seemed to fall back in place. I've also noticed that the phone is very slow to reconnect after passing through blacked out areas, not sure why other AT&T phones lose connection but come back online much faster.
Otherwise the ROM is great.
Is it possibly something to do with your rate plan?
EDIT: nevermind I'm using a diff rom I think

I personally don't have any issues on the network. I'm running Dutty No.6 AT&T. Does this problem apply to a CID unlocked phone, a SIM unlocked phone, or both?

It shouldn't be my rate plan as I have the PDA unlimited for $39.99. Also, here's an update. This morning when I woke up my Tilt it was still showing E and my wishful thinking of Santa giving me a pre-christmas gift by fixing my phone (I'm easy) were just about drowned. ...however out of nowhere and without doing anything to the phone like soft-reset etc., the 3G icon came back and now its been coming back intermittently..
Now I'm pretty sure that its not that I'm traveling in a non-3G area and thats why its coming back intermittently as I live in a decent size metro area of Jacksonville FL and also because the areas I've been to this morning have always had 3G.. unless I'm wrong.. which I sure hope so..
BTW: I "downgraded" my Radio to 11.17 last night itself as one of the things I was trying to fix this issue. Just an FYI.
Here it is in a nutshell!!
Please note the following:
1) Got my new (unlocked) tytn II on dec 12.
*Sim in at 6:00pm. Had 3g & hsdpa till 10:00 pm. Went to bed.
*Dec 13th could not make calls or connect to data while on 3g.
*Calls would disconnect. Hsdpa message "the answering modem has disconnected "
* Switched back to gsm mode. Phone works but no 3g or hsdpa support.
*Dec 14 called att. Customer service said "unknown device" not supported.
*Transfer to data tech " Stated unsupported device" cant add the pda data package for $39.95. Stated my imei was blocked from 3g & hsdpa because of unlocked device status. But edge & gsm would work. Note edge & gsm modes work.
*Data tech said go to att store and get another branded att 3g device and use it to activate the pda data plan.
*I did this at 2:30 pm est. It worked for about 1/2 hour till 3:00 pm est. So much for my $39.95.
*Called att again & got a product support specialist(pr guy haha).he stated:
2) Att will not support an unlocked device.
*I said what about my $39.95???? I also said that i was a paying us att customer and was willing to pay for the high speed service. He said that they could no change my device unlocked status within the att network even though i was willing to pay for the data plan. I was pissed at that point. I told him that the hardware supports 3g & hsdpa and stated that att had locked a paying customer out of the 3g network. He said again "att does not support unlocked devices". I then asked him why i had access to the gsm & edge network and why att supported me on it and not 3g or hsdpa? I must have stumped him because he put me on hold. His reply after talking his boss was "att wil not support an unlocked device. We went back & forth like this until I Said "THIS IS BULLSHIP & HUNG UP.
* He call me back about an hour later because i threatened to switch back to verizon an stated " if you had the att original rom and if the phone was carrier locked it may change my device status" I said that I would give it a shot.
* Got the orig. att rom from here. Used sspl to apply cid per the reverting instructions. Phone said att 3g on startup & cid-8. Still no 3g. flashed hspl and bact to duttys rom 7.b for now.
In summary I can get the 3g & hsdpa signal but nothing works when connected! CAN YOU SAY CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT!!!
3G Test on AT&T network
How can we test if we are getting 3G speeds after changing our ROMs? I see the 3G and H logo's but don't think I'm getting the speeds.
Does changing the ROM unlock our AT&T phones?
Is there a ROM that is transparent to AT&T and allow us to use the 3G speeds?
Will reverting back to the AT&T Rom allow us to get the 3G speeds again?
newbie
Are you on drugs? , AT&T unlocks their phones, that does not matter , the reps you were speaking with are retarded they use a BILLING SYSTEM called TELEGENCE if you enter a IMEI wrong or of a unlocked device it gives back a UNKNOWN device message which means pretty much the reps can and if they dont want to , wont help you get your data working because they are lazy as ****. they do not block data on phones nor can they monitor your device to know what you are doing. their HLR's are only one way addressable.
Ok, I just upgraded to this ROM (cus duttys roms are amazing) after I read your post and...
I ran into some connection problems after my programs started looking for "my ISP" (isp.cingular) instead of "MEdia Net" (wap.cingular) In "advanced settings" in "connections" I re-set programs to run off MEdia Net, and it seems all is well
I think it might have switched when I was screwing with the comm manager and turned G3 off
DISCLAIMER: I'm a noob so take my advice with a grain of salt haha
No probs w/ ATT
My unlocked phone works just fine on the ATT network and i constantly get 3G UMTS and HSDPA speeds. Att does not block any device you are able to use on their network as they have roaming contracts with cell phone service providers across the world. If your device does not receive 3g speeds you can have your imei number added to the ATT allowed database just call 611 from your phone and talk to the service rep. If they give you any problem then call back and tell them you want to add the imei number of a wireless data card for computer and they will add that for you.
Must have been smoking the glass pipe!
Sorry folks.
This is a reception problem for me.
ATT really jerked me around.
The problem is a weak 3g signal.
If i dont have four bars 3g & hspda fail.
I went & sat under an att tower and everything works.
As soon as I drive away from the tower and the signal strength drops I loose 3g calling & Hsdpa.
Is there a fix.

Digg and random bloggers aren't really a good source. I remember the bullfrap article on Digg about Hummers being more environmentally conservative over a lifetime than any other green car.
have you tired having your sim card replaced? I had a similar issue where i was not able to call or receive calls in 3g but could on edge for a good day. Went to ATT and found out that others were having same issue with kraiser had them replace my sim card and everything worked great after.
Got 3G back and for good.... so far!

thanks for the tip jellorice.. I actually got my 3G back since yesterday and its been working great ever since. As for the sim being faulty, Thats something I didn't even think of and now that you've mentioned it, I'll keep in mind for future troubleshooting as I'm sure some other issue will crop up.
Nevertheless, Dutty's ROM 6 is UNBELIEVABLY AWESOME!!! I'm sure Dutty's gotten numb to all the kudos he's got and still is getting, being in Gazillions... but I wish I had better words to describe this ROM as for someone like me who is virtually bringing food on the table because of the Tilt (heavy business user), the key strengths of his ROM are just Marvelous.
Sry for getting sidetracked.. I got a little exited there.
Yesterday I posted about the change of the IMEI on my Tilt, but it was said that even if there are two numbers more in the serial it's ok anyway, and matters only the first 15 numbers in the IMEI serial.
That's ok.
(Even if I don't understand why the moderator kyphur close that thread, as I see and read so many stupid thread from newbies asking so stupid questions without sense and clearly posted without taking a look and search in this forum before posting!!..... BTW......)
My problem is that after upgrading from Dutty's v4 to Dutty's WM6.1 Build 5.2.19716 my Tilt doesn't recognize my SIM card (and before the upgrade it did) (BESIDE checking the IMEI changed with 2 digit more)
My Tilt was legally unlocked with the AT&T code they sent me after my request.
Now I'm in Italy since 3 weeks and I was using an Italian SIM from an Italian carrier.
Before upgrading to a WM 6.1 rom (and 6.1 radio) my legally unblocked Tilt worked perfectly and so fine...
Now it doesn't see my SIM card at all... it says SIM MISSING.
I tried this same SIM in other cellulars and works fine, and I tried other different italian SIM cards in the same Tilt and they work!
Maybe my Italian SIM is, in a certain sense, not perfectly compatible with a WM 6.1 based rom?
Should I ask to the carrier to change my SIM to something different and newer?
Could be this one the problem that the Tilt doesn't recognize and see my italian SIM?
I tried to return back to a WM6 rom and radio BUT THE TILT doesn't yet recognize the SIM. (and I'm repeating that before the upgrade, till 2 days ago it was perfect!)
(....and I would not be a pain in the ass.. but everything go bad after noticing that the emei has changed... and I'm underlining this because it is important in the official process to legally unblock the Tilt from AT&T procedure)
AGAIN....
What's happening?
Any suggestions?
Could someone tell me if you encountered a problem like this before?

I know this is going to sound dumb as hell, but it worked for my brother's phone and maybe it will work for yours.
Remove the sim card and using a brand new pencil w/ new eraser, press the eraser against the brass contacts on the sim card and erase as though someone colored them all. Then reinsert sim card and see what happens. Once again, I am not saying this will work, but I am saying that my brother's blackjack lost contact with his sim card and this is what he did and everything worked again.
Just a shot in the dark, but maybe. Hope it helps and good luck.
While I have not heard of this happening to non-US SIM cards, I went through this problem with my older Cingular SIM card and my 8125.
Everything worked perfectly fine until I loaded WM6 onto the device, and then all of a sudden I needed to get a 3G SIM card from Cingular, even though the 8125 was Edge/GPRS capable only.
I would suggest getting a replacement SIM card from you Italian carrier.

Yes.. I'm thinking to do so.. maybe my Italian SIM card is not good after this upgrade to WM 6.1 and it's not 3G. I cannot confirm, but very probably it's like so.
I'm asking my (old and, in the same time, temporary) italian provider to change my SIM to a newer one... and then we will see what happen.
It's very strange how with WM 6 It was simply PERFECT and after this upgrade to wm6.1 the sim is not recognized.
oh... I wanna add that when I insert the AT&T SIM the Tilt regularly see it.. even if, obviously, there's no signal and no services available.
I resolved the problem getting a replacement SIM card from the Italian carrier.
SO the bottom line is that with some old SIM card upgrading to Windows Mobile 6.1 based ROM the AT&T Tilt doesn't work!
You MUST HAVE a new SIM CARD 3g capable.
i upgraded to wm 6.1 and now it says my sim is missing. it never used to do it. i have the 3g sim card. can anybody offer anything? i cant seem to find anything.
thanks!

I have the same problem before. When I upgraded to the 3.34 ROM as I post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=439408
Kaiser says the sim card is missing, but I do have the sim card inside. What I been done is open the sim card door while the kaiser is power on, it will shut down by they self, then close the door. Power on again then it read my sim card. It work in my case I am not sure about yours.
Boy I'm gonna get hammered bad if my search failed to find an existing thread on this one (and yes I will moderate this thread if someone can point me to a relevant thread)...
Just exchanged my first Fuze at 27 days of use because I was experienceing the following issues:
1. Often times when changing bands (i.e. from G/E to 3G or back) it would completely drop the connection.
2. While on a call it wouldn't switch bands.
3. At least once every 36 - 48 hrs it would randomly soft reset.
4. It would lose the Data Connection and not be able to reconnect until I soft reset.
I tried several Radio Roms (Raphael 1.01.25.16, 1.02.25.28, 1..02.25.32 & Experia 1.06.25.29 & Blackstone 1.09.25.14) with the same results.
I used my own Cooked Rom, At&t Stock 1.95.502.5, & Da_G 1.9 w/MSVC again with the same results.
I've also run with & without HardSPL and both Security Locked & Security Unlocked all seems to have no effect on this issue.
So as I said I just exchanged it today. Now on the way back to my office the replacement did a random soft reset!
Has anyone else seen or experienced this issue?
I'm going to go out on a limb here. Have you replaced your SIM card since this issue has started.
Actually I didn't think to do that as my SIM was replaced just a few months ago when I acquired my last (4th) Tilt.
I'll stop at At&t Corp Store on the way home and get a new SIM....

Actually there is a new sim card, with better band selection. The new sim card was released for the multiband switching issue known with PDA's. Your issue sounds like many I have seen in the field. Especially with the Fuze. This stand most true for people in the 3g/edge border that consistently switching back and forth.
Here is a pic of the sim, make sure they give you this one. not the old blue and white one.
Well, the local store didn't have the orange SIMs but they did have one newer than the one I was already using.
Don't know what the numbers mean but I noticed your pic has 71247D, 2024 just to the side of the SIM and mine has 71234G, 3022 there.
I'll just give it a few days and see if things are better. If now then I'll call customer service and insist they ship me an orange SIM.

The 71234G 3022 one is the same one they shipped me when I got my Fuze (like 2 days after it came out).
I haven't even activated that one, instead I just stuck in my old Cingular branded SIM and it seems to be working alright.
I'll get dropped calls and stuff, but I don't think its related to the SIM.
I contacted AT&T when I got my Fuze and they said there's no real reason for me to swap SIMs and I could just keep that one as a backup, so that's what I've done.

You should be ok with the one you have, now if you need the newer orange one and they want to charge you p.m. me and ill ship you one no charge. just let me know if the sim fixed the issue. Effectively you still the old sim.
71234 is the SKU for the old sim card.
71247 is the SKU for the new one.

Does the cingular sim say 3G on it. If not use the AT&T sim.
There have been NUMEROUS network upgrades since the days of the cingular sim, and those sim's are not provisioned for the updates. So if you are getting numerous amounts of dropped calls then you need a new sim card

The Cingular SIM I have does say 3G in small print on the back, and the numbers on it are 64205G 3020
Same with me. Everynow and then the only way to get online is by a soft-reset. I notice it after I've left my phone idle for a while. I got my Fuze in November it came with a blue and white SIM with an orange 3g logo and ATT written in white.

That's the one mine came with but I haven't been using it, I've been using a really old Cingular branded SIM.
I'm going to switch to the blue/white one though to see if it helps with my dropped calls. If not, I'm going to go to the store to see about the new orange one.
Okay I've still experienced all problems with the new blue one. I called CS and they have shipped me an Orange SIM.

Man, I really would have thought a sim swap would have fixed the issue. I can see one bad fuze, but two in a row doing the exact same thing. Thats a serious issue. Im really hoping that the new orange one fixes the issue. I, from a technical aspect can understand why this is happening and that is what this new SIM is supposed to correct. Lets hope!!

Going to get my orange SIM in about 30 minutes. I'll test and report back.
I just picked up a new SIM card (71247D) to replace my old Cingular 3g 8525 card, and as I was driving back from the AT&T store, my phone dropped a call 3 times! Do I have to wait a period of time before AT&T's network or the phone provisions itself for the card & services? If not, then the new card seems to be no better than my old one.
In addition, my 8525 dropped plenty of calls, while an old Blackberry, like the 8700g was flawless in phone quality in the same areas. I am in Phoenix in 1900 PCS.

Do I have to wait a period of time before AT&T's network or the phone provisions itself for the card & services? If not, then the new card seems to be no better than my old one.
In addition, my 8525 dropped plenty of calls, while an old Blackberry, like the 8700g was flawless in phone quality in the same areas. I am in Phoenix in 1900 PCS.

It can take up to an hour for all the data provisioning to be burnt to the sim. Usually right out the store just the phone side is active.

OK, had my new sim card for a little over an hour. No dropped calls so far. I also don't know hwo or why but I have 2 more bars of 3G now. Before I never got above 2 bars of 3G. Now I have 3 bars minimum but mostly 4 bars. It's a little too early to find out about the random resets, but so far so good. Thanks for the heads up. Fingers crossed.
Hey guys,
First post here, so not 100% sure if its in the right spot. Gotta bit of a weird problem with my new S710. Got it on Monday with everything working fine. Then one night I was surfing the net testing out the EDGE and WiFi and the phone froze. I rebooted but when it came back on it couldnt pick up my network
I've gone over settings over and over again, called my SP, the place I bought as well as HTC and they cant give me a proper answer that I can pin point the issue and fix it. Also tried flashing ROM's to WM 6.1, back to 6.0 standard but nothing happening. Now the weird thing is, my SIM works in other phones, and other SIM's work in my phone. Its just my SIM that isnt working
The furthest I can get to is trying to turn the phone functionality on, which just stays on off.....
Any suggestions? Help is much appreciated. Thanks guys
I have also faced similar problems from my previous prepaid Connection in AirTel. I roam a lot in a particular place, my AirTel prepaid will display no signal while the post paid one will show signal, not full though. And yes I have seen the same thing after swapping the SIMs. At another place, my prepaid SIM will show SIM ERROR . So try changing your SIM from your service provider.
Well, so are I can tell you that the Vox is a little bit picky about SIM-Cards. Fireburned's SIM doesn't work with my Rose ROM for instance! Maybe you just got a "Monday"-SIM/V ox

Its a damn weird problem....
For interests sake what kinda SIM are you using? 32k or 64? Is it 3G enabled?
I know the S710 doesnt support 3G, but maybe thats whats causing the problem. Im gonna try go to my SP tomorrow or Monday to get my SIM swapped out. Maybe I should try another ROM, see if that makes a difference....
Thanks for the reply

Seems so. I've Googled myself to death and found a few similar problems to what Im having. Its just really strange it worked, and then did
The other day it happened for the first time, 2nd day I had the phone. I freaked, with it being my first smart phone and whatever. LOL
I did some ##022# trick, which apparently re-connects me to my SP, that worked. Hasnt worked this time....
I'll flash another ROM onto my phone, will let you guys know if it changes anything
Its a 32K SIM. In India There is no 3G . And hence most of the SIMs are not 3G ready. Mine was not 3G ready either.
If you want to try another ROM, I would suggest to go for fb's Clean ROM or fh's Lite ROM, you will not find fh's ROM in a thread, but you will find it's hyperlink in his signature .

OK cool stuff. I'll try see if I can get a 32k SIM, just to be safe and I'll ask em to not enable 3G. Dont use it really anyway
Thanks again for the help mate
for the past few weeks after discovering a friend of mine who has a o2branded diamond always seems to have a HSPDa connection, and me and my g/f who both have diamonds (one ignito, one diamond) both on the same network, yet we can never get a H icon to magically pop up, although when we were abroad we can get it.
after spending an entire weekend of reflashing/flashing/frustartion I gave up trying, then today in work tried a friends sim (who is also on o2) only difference being i've been with o2 for around 4 years and still have my original sim, he signed up 2 months ago, so figured why not try his sim, and to my surprise i had a H connection straight away???
my gf has also had the same sim for around 5-6 years, going to try and get a new sim off o2 to see if it solves it for me perminantly, but i found it strange how a newer sim can affect what speed internet you can pick up?
incidently, the sims looked very different, well obviously the same size, but the newer one had a more of a rounded chip on it?
Yes you need a newer SIM, same thing happend to me when I upgraded last year, I plugged in my old SIM and got no HSDPA went into a store and they gave me a new SIM card, an hour later I was getting HSPDA.
it says H but you only get 3G speeds (3.2 Mbps), as 7.4Mbps (HSDPA) is not supported by the network

cheers, went into o2 and got a new simcard earlier!
i thought 3mbs was still hspda, just slower version?
Yup 3.6 is HSPDA, O2 are rubbish with there speed, does the iPhone 3GS do HSPDA at 7.2? Im guessing if it did then there would be more people complaining about the lack of speed compared to Tmobile, voda and co.
