Hi all,
I have searched high and low for how to disable 3g on my Imate SPL (updated to WM6.1 Standard) and all the info I have found applies to professional/touchsceeen devices.
I have NO Settings>Phone>Band option as you get on WM6.1 Pro devices
Is there any registry edit that I can use to achieve this as the phone reception on 3g is very bad? On all my other WM6 pro devices I use GSM rather than 3g very successfully, giving me improved reception and improved battery life.
Any info or suggestions gratefully received

Just installed ranjus rom with radio 1.18. Few questions...
1)it still comes up with the o2 splash screen when I turn on, and it asked me all the o2 question(it is originally an o2 xda exec). I wouldve thought installing a totally new rom wouldve wiped all this??
2) im now using my orange sim in it, but it won't connect to a 3G singal(it didn't do this before I put ranjus rom on it either)
O2 Extended Rom Customisations Are Probably Not Compatible With WM6.1
You Need To Flash The Extended Rom To Remove All The O2 Customisations.
Go Into Your Phone Options And Set The Band To Auto To Enable 3G/GPRS And Not Just GPRS. (GSM = GPRS & UMTS = 3G)
Download The HTC Network Settings Tool And It Will Configure Your Device With The Settings Required For Your Selected Network.
Hope That Solves Your Problems.

I tried to change the band from gsm to auto but it just goes back to gsm and greys all the boxes out! do I need to use that prog you gave the link to?
edit:think I got it to change the band to auto, still not on a 3g network but maybe I am outta range.
the device kept turning off like it was outta battery, but it said there was like 30% left, now im on mains power its workin ine.
can I flash th extended rom witout looisng all the settings and progs I've just loaded on?
I Believe So...
I Think You Can Just Make Sure Theirs No "radio_.nbf" (Radio Rom) Or "nk.nbf" (CE OS Rom) In The Flash Utility Folder.
Then Run The Flash Utility And Dont Perform A Hard Reset After Flashing.
It Should Then Only Update The Extended Rom. The Problem Is If You Have Already Let The Device Autoconfigure,
Alot Of The Crap From The Manufacturers Standard Rom Will Still Be Installed On Your Device.
The Best Way To Remove Would Be A Hard Reset But That Means Having To Reconfigure And Reinstall Etc.
Oh And To Answer Your Previous Question About The O2 Logo, Ranju's Rom Doesnt Flash That Area Of The Device Thus Leaving The O2 Logo Intact.
Their Are Ways To Customise This Logo If You Like.

I will have a tinker later on when im at home in front of my computer. Any idea why I can't get 3G reception? its enabled in the control panel.
So does anyone have any idea why I cant get 3G network reception? Im on radio 1.15 now.
For those of you who can get 3G reception...When you go to Settings>Phone>Network>(Network Selection) Manual...Does it show the regular networks (i.e 'Orange', 'O2 - UK' etc) AND the 3G network (i.e 'Orange 3G', 'O2 - UK 3G' etc)?
Sim Card Possibly.
No The Networks Are All Called The Same Its Just The Radio Bands Used To Connect Data Services That Differ.
Maybe Your SimCard Isnt A 3G Sim Or It Isnt 3G Enabled?
If The Sim Is Not A 3G Sim It Would Only Use GSM I Believe.

it is definstely a 3g card as it works in my other phone! does everyone get 3g reception on orange using a g3 o2xda with ranju rom and radio 1.15?
Isn't there ANYONE on orange in here??? I have had a look around and I think most of the Orange network runs on a 900MHz UMTS freqency. And it looks like the Uni only supports 1900MHz
UMTS on Ranju 7.7
I am on Orange, using Ranju 7.7 and radio 1.18. I had the same problem as you with the default Phone parameters, but I was able to change the band setting to "Auto" in the phone options. Thus GSM Band became "EGSM+DCS1800" and UMTS Band "UMTS 2100". And after a while the 3G icon appeared !
Universal bad for 3G
i can only say that universal has very bad 3g(UMTS connection) because when most other phones show 4 bars for 3g..my o2 exec only give 1 bar..but it is OK for 2g or GPRS...anyone agree??
Well I just flashed my voda v1640 with ranju v77 Rom, and shows good UMTS performance with italian "TIM" network, both for signal strength and for internet browsing.
the Radio is 1.14.10 (it should be the original one...)

Do You have some friend with other provider? Maybe he can check Your phone with his network.
All of these seem related to slow data... do you have the same problems if you use a WiFi connection?
If you have a poor 3G signal where you are, some phones will flip-flop between a good 2G and poor 3G connection. This can cause data transfer problems. Try disabling 3G (Start, Settings, Phone, Band, Select your network type: GSM). This might give you more reliability.
Obviously, you're not going to get great performance watching YouTube or browsing full web-pages without 3G.

Dear all:
I have a Motorola Q9H and I just upgraded it to WM6.1 from AT&T. I found a problem which I also found in my imate smartflip WM6.1
Earlier in WM6.0, you used to be able to select Auto for GSM 800/900 for network channels while in WM6.1, this option has disappeared.
Why this is important for me? because I used to force my mobile NOT to connect to 3G since my blackberry software would drain the battery if running on 3G. Running blackberry software on GPRS is quite enough and will conserve the battery for a decent time.
So talking about Windows Standard edition or Smartphone: how can I push the network to be GSM 800 and NOT Auto? in other words, how do I disable the 3G network channel?
thank you
samery
Found the resolution, many thanks to Motorola support team:
1. Go to Home Screen
2. Type *#1546792*# and then send
3. You will see new screen that indicates that Band Selection was enabled
4. Now you can go to Settings/Phone/Network/Band Selection
Hi Guys,
I have just replaced my trusty Wizard (running Wizard Love ROM WM5 and working great on Orange UK) due to me damaging the external antenna plug which caused the whole phone to cease receiving a signal
I bought myself a replacement Wizard that has WM6.1 Pro ROM on it with HTC Touch Flo. I put my Orange SIM into it and cannot do much else now other than send & receive phone calls - no SMS, no GPRS, also cannot access the "phone" icon under the settings menu or even access the "SIM Manager" either.
Any ideas anybody? I suspect the Orange SIM myself!!
Many thanks in advance.
Mike.
Maybe your sim card is damaged in some strange way?
I'm not sure - the SIM works great in my other Wizard running WM5. In fact I had this same problem with my other unlocked Wizard, and it was only after changing to the "Wizard Love" ROM that it was sorted out.
I have read that it may be that the radio ROM needs updating - I don't really know.
I suspect there are other UK users out there on the Orange network who have WM6.1 running OK.
Cheers,
Mike.
Better check your SIM card in other phone for reliability ;] cheers
I have and the SIM works fine.
Although the OS is upgraded over what was on my previous Wizard, it would appear that the IPL/SPL and GSM are older versions on my replacement phone. Is it possible to upgrade these without affecting the WM6.1 install??
Cheers,
Mike.
After a lot of reading I seem to have now sorted out the problem.
I flashed a new radio ROM from 02.07.10 to 03.02.11. I put the SIM card back in and found I had a number of voicemail messages and SMS's waiting for me. No changes to any settings and I can now access SIM Manager etc, etc
I'm just happy that I'm back in communication!!
Well, further to the above I cannot now access GPRS or the MMS service.
I have tried all the GPRS settings from my older Wizard and flashed different Radio ROM's on my replacement Wizard. Now on Radio ROM 02.19.11 as I did read this seems the best one for the UK.
Anybody else on here use Orange (UK) for GPRS or MMS, and has it working so I can see where I'm going wrong??
Thanks in advance.
Mike.
I've done a lot of reading and had a play...seems to work now. I even have the "E" symbol on screen, so I'm getting an EDGE connection now that is a first!!
I was using CR86 Touch HD Cruise Edition, so I flashed XDA2's WM6.5 M2D ROM onto it instead. This then automatically picked up a GPRS/EDGE connection, but I could not access the SIM...I got the "the phone is not ready, wait 15 secs etc,etc" message. I then flashed the Radio ROM from 2.19.11 and took it up to 2.69.11 (I have previously tried 03.02.11, 02.37.11, 02.25.11, 02.19.11 to no avail)
Seems to work OK, I have sent & received a MMS messages & standard SMS now.
I just need to set up my email & sync my contacts (again)
Hi,
Is anyone aware of problems / issues with GPS on the Orange HTC Touch 3G device (or any other similar devices)? I have a number of these losing GPS intermittently?
Also does anybody know if Orange's SUPL AGPS servers have been affected by recent network changes to incorporate T-Mobile / firewall reprogramming issues?
Thanks,
Terry.
