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

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...)
Hi all,
I am new to this forum... I hope I can get some help from all the experts here.
I have recently downloaded and flashed my Motorola Q9H with AT&T's WM 6.1 update. No problems were faced while installing it.
I used the RSD Lite version 3.7 and this SHIP_NORMAN_AP_U_01.09.28R_NOLOCK_MODEM4_U_40.11.40R_04_USNORMANATT02NAR2W611A005-ATT_1719931436.sbf
After installing and tweaking the locked settings of the Internet Settings, network band selection and Messaging using PHM Registry Editor.
However, after doing all that.. I cannot get connected to any 3G network in my country (Malaysia) and I cannot use the MMS function.
Can somebody assist me in either directing me to the original ROM copy of the WM 6 for Q9H or how to establish that network connection (I think AT&T may be using a different range band for GSM or UMTS)?
Even with the network band selection, only 2G networks can be discovered.
Really appreciate the help..

q9h
the moto Q9h has two versions, the AT&T version, also called Q9h global, and the Q9h.
The AT&T version HSDPA runs @ 850 / 1900 mhz, while the other version runs @ 2100 mhz.
according with the info I got in gsmworld, malaysia's providers are runing their 3G services using 2100 mhz; thus if you got an AT&T version, it won't work in your country.
If you recently upgrade your rom with win 6.1 you might need to unlock the pre-loaded gprs settings.
go to the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A 38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA} select the pre-load setting and go to values, keys, and change the "read only" from 1 to 0.
Find the proxy that Cingular uses.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{EF097F4 C-DC4B-4c98-8FF6-AEF805DC0E8E}\Cingular WAP, same here change the values for "read only" from 1 to 0.
hope this helps.
I've been trying to find a way to disable 3G on my new HP iPAQ 910c I got through Rogers Wireless a few weeks ago. I find the battery drains pretty quickly on the phone, and from what I've read forcing it down to GSM when I don't need the 3G speed will help that alot.
My problem is that when I go to the Phone Settings, there's no "Band" tab in which to designate that I want to limit to GSM. From everything I've read the tab *should* be there, but it's not. What tabs are there are the following:
Phone
Security
Services
Network
TTY
PIN2
AOC
More
Doing some searching, I came across this post from last year that addressed a similar issue with an HTC Diamond on the Rogers network.

Just want to share this. But I'm pretty sure this has been tackled in the forums already.
Rogers branded HTC Diamond doesn't have the option to turn of 3G through band selection. I found this registry hack to enable band selection and now I can turn 3G off.
Rogers default registry - OFF
[\HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\]
"ShowUMTSBandPage"=dword:0
Registry tweak to enable band changes
[\HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\]
"ShowUMTSBandPage"=dword:1
Now you can go to >start>settings>phone>band tab and change band settings to your choice. I switched mine to just use GSM instead of auto which always connects on 3G.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The issue with that suggested fix is that I don't have a "PhoneSetting" key under \HKLM\Software\OEM (or anywhere for that matter) on my iPAQ. I tried adding it, and then adding the "ShowUMTSBandPage" dword, but that didn't seem to have any effect (even after a soft-reset).
If anyone has any ideas on how I can enable the Band phone settings tab, or otherwise turn off 3G on occasion on my phone, it'd be greatly appreciated.
This one time, at band tab...
try DHR Bandswitch
Thanks. I installed it and it seems to kindof work. I've posted my questions about it in the Bandswitch thread.
Congrats.
Hi
I'm running android on my Kaiser, from Nand and I'm on 3-UK
The problem I'm having is that the 3g signal where I live is really bad - so bad I have to disable it in windows mobile or all I get is constant flicking between 2g GPRS and 3g
I have tried the setting on the android through the settings - wireless - mobile networks but the 2g only won't stay checked.
I have tried the *#*#INFO#*#* menu setting and it always reverts back to WCDMA preferred.
Both of these can only be changed when the phone finally locks on to a signal.
Now 2g will always show as roaming, I think because 3-uk's 2g is on Orange, in windows it still shows as 3 but on android I get the following:
2G: Orange PCS Ltd
3G: [email protected]
My phone is originally an orange kaiser but has been unlocked and hard spl'd
Really frustratingly if I run Android via Haret from Windows mobile (where I've forced it 2G) it runs fine.
Can anyone here on 3g help ?
Anyone help ?
Hi
I just bought a second hand unlocked HD2
I am on Orange. The phone will pick up 3G but I need to sync with Exchange. At work we have our own APN options. So , I have go into the connection tab but from some reason , there is no Cellular 3G,GPRS option, only GPRS. The phone does sync, but I don't think I am getting a 3G connection
With my previous phone Diamond 2, when I did the same thing, the 3G was an option
Am I missing something?
Which version of HD2 did you buy? Did you even check if your HD2 3g bandwidth is compatible with orange?
Not sure I understand your question , but I believe I have a
HD2 T8585
Did you even check if your HD2 3g bandwidth is compatible with orange?
Others at work, have a HD2, so it will work on 3G. I was unaware that there was different types of HD2!!
as long as your basically anywhere but america the 8585 should work (dont quote me on this, obviously there are others) ie uk, europe, south africa should work. I believe australia has their own band specific version as well...
id suggest you go to the rom site, install an original rom, and see if it works afer you run an auto configure in the network settings.
Alternatively, try flashing a new radio rom and see if it works. the 2.07.50 works well for me in SA. some others also only give me EDGE.
I don't know how you have it in your country, but here in Denmark the providers have downloadable 3G settings to their networks that we have to pull down to get it to work...
Unless of course we set it up manually.
Maybe you haven't gotten the setup from Orange?
Hey there, you should check your band settings:
Go to settings > connections > network advanced > in the first tab you can choose "off" or "only HSDPA" or "HSDPA/HSUPA". click on the last option for 3G band.
My former devices (X1i and Hermes) you had band-settings for GSM or 3G but on the HD2 i cannot find it, so this option is changed in WM6.5 i guess.
