hi everyone
I have an ACER M900 which according to the specs it is compatible w/ att's 3g network. I have a sim card w/ iphone plan (voice+30 dollars monthly data). I can only see an H icon beside signal bar so I guess the phone has detected the 3g network. tried to configure the network setting by what has een previously posted here but w/out a success. can anyone help me? any/all info is appreciated!
Is your device running Acer's Connection Wizard? Its link, called 'CWAutoConfig.exe.lnk', should be in '\Windows\StartUp'. If you're using a Lite ROM, it is not included. You'll find it in the separate cabs folder provided by the ROM cooker. If you happen to have it running, and, yet, it doesn't work, I've found these informations about AT&T connection settings. Hope they fit your needs.
Just my 2 cents...

I am wanting to run one of these with a PAYG sim on 3UK Network, to benefit from the faster HSDPA broadband access via the phone and via a USB lead to a laptop (using the Orbit 2 as a modem). Is this likely to work OK? Anyone already doing this right now?
Also will the Orbit 2 work well with Skype, as my orbit 1 is poor and the audio breaks up (even when connected to 4mbit wifi connection). I hope the Orbit 2 has cured this problem.
I would appreciate comments on the above. Thanks a lot. Tony
I just came back from holiday in UK. My German Orbit2 used for roaming either O2 UK Network or TMobile and 3G worked fine on both networks. Is it that, what you were asking for?
About Skype I don't know anything, sorry.
Thanks for the reply, but no not exactly what I am looking for. I want to use the Orbit 2 on 3UK, which is another network (unless 3UK uses someone elses network). The 3UK Network is a new network provider in the UK.....
I basically want to know if the Orbit2 will work on 3UK with a PAYG sim (NOT ON A CONTRACT) for HSDPA internet access and to use as a normal phone.
I currently have an Orbit 1 on Orange PAYG, but want to use HSDPA (faster internet access with the Orbit 2), I also want to be able to use Skype as well using HSDPA.
Thanks anyway for the reply.
If you don't get help here, you should call the provider and ask.
Because I wanted to use my Orbit2 with a prepaid SIM of O2 UK with mobile internet. And they said, I can only use it for making calls and texts, not for internet. (They weren't able to provide internet settings for the device if not in a contract.) So I was able to use a prepaid SIM but only for calls and texts.
Anyway, good luck.

I think I understand what you're asking.
3 will not assist you because the Orbit 2 is not an 'approved' phone for 3's network.
However, there is a cab file that permits you to spoof 3's network that you are using a Nokia N95 which is an approved phone.
I know it works because we did this for a work colleague that was sick of his Nokia and went and bought a touch cruise and we installed the necessary file.
He's generally happy with the result but does report the occasional lag on 3's network.
If you want to know more and find a link to the file I suggest you read this thread:

Best of luck and let us know how you get on.

Thanks a lot!!!!
It looks like you have sorted my problems... I will be getting the Orbit 2 in a couple of days and I will let you know how I get on. Thanks once again Lom.
ps. Any idea what the URL is for planet3 on the mobile???

Tony,
I'm not a 3 customer, but the thread I suggested you read claims this is the address for planet 3:

I've recently got a new 3G iphone. It came with a new SIM card that is suppose to be optimized for iphone. When I put this sim card into my Touch Cruise, I am unable to get 3G. There is signal bars but I cannot make or receive phone calls. The only way to make or receive phone calls is by disabling the 3G. The same applies for Data. I thought maybe the radio ROM was not working so I changed it to the Murata ROM but I am still having problems. I am on the Rogers network in Canada. Has anybody else having similar problems? Any help would be appreciated as I still find my Touch Cruise more useful than the 3G iphone.
Most probably is ur phone broken. U will have to send it to the service. Maaaaany users had/have/will have problems with calls, connections, signal strenght,bluetooth, camera, broken wheel etc. I had... Touch cruise is crapy.
If you know someone with a non-iPhone 3G sim, try theirs in your Cruise and see what happens

Actually, I did this today. Same thing happen. I would get a 3G signal but when I tried to make a call, I get no signal. But when I disable the 3G, edge works fine with voice and data.
Hi, I sufered the same problem until yesterday. I had the same problems. Yesterday I switched off the HSDPA switch in the software, after a soft reset the TC came back online. Probably worth trying?

I've tried both Murata radio roms. Both gives very good 3G signal but when I try to make a call or use data, I get no connection. I've tried the original radio ROM and some of the Kaiser ported radio Roms. They all give me no connection with 3G. In every case, when I disable the 3G, I can make calls and get data although it is only through edge and GPRS. I looked at my box for the TC and it is revision A. Do I need to send my TC for repair? I even went as far as calling my cell phone provider(Rogers) and they couldn't help me. The phone is functional but without 3G I am not getting very fast data speeds.
The problem started with my TC started after upgrading to Udk R6 and R7, after upgrading to R8 and a new radio version

Will give you an updated radio version what will have a good match with the Udk diamond R8 Rom.
Succes, WAS
just a question, I'm on ATT, and the sim card I use on my polaris came off the iPhone3G, and I get the H (the high speed thing) sign on the phone during data sessions. on some areas I'm only able to get E and sometimes even the G sign came on and off. so I guess, maybe wherever you are, the 3G signal isn't strong enough, so you can only get edge.
and as of the other person noted, polaris is kind of at the edge of getting broken, fast. I only uses mine exclusively for web browsing for a week when the phone goes crazy. sent it to repair and everything seems to be in "sane" mode now let's hope that my phone didn't try to go insane again

Guys, maybe a silly comment but did you check the following settings : phone/menu/options/band and check select network type to auto?
I have had problems before with 3G & HSDPA. Somtimes when your registered on HSDPA and you travell away from that mast/area into an area that only has 3G or even only Edge, then device does not re-register onto the other band and you will not be bale to make calls and will miss calls. This happened for days one time and i very nearly hard reset my device in frustration, i eventually found out it was a network problem.
Another work around is going to phone/menu/networks and manually select networks and hopefully it should bring up your 3G network.
Phone operators do not like telling you that their 3G or HSPDA networks do not have good coverage or intermittent quality of signal. My 3G network only has 70% coverage & 30 % of that is HSDPA, so i sometimes end up on EDGE and hence miss calls.
Try playing around with the setting above one at a time. When im stuck i manually set band to GSM (edge), then when travelling away reset back to auto. Most of the time however it is fine.
Hi, I'm from Argentina. I had the same problem with 3G after a trip to other country. Now my TC only works well in GSM Band. Unfortunatelly we don't have service support here so if anyone knows how to fix this will be highly appreciated.
I have the same problem in my Polaris. I tried almost every radio i could find, i tried with different sim cards, i tried with official wm6 and wm6.1 roms with no result. When 3G is enabled i can not make or receive calls. I think that the problem started when i first upgraded from WM6 to WM6.1. Now i keep band selection to GSM so at least i can use my polaris as a phone. There must be something that prevents gsm connection when 3G is active. I hope a registry tweak could be found for this. I' m just one step from sending my device to be serviced.
I have the same trouble with my virgin uk sim card and t-mobile which share the same network(need to turn off 3g),but no trouble with my asda sim which uses the vodaphone network.So if you try different sim cards make sure they dont share networks.Another thing i've noticed with my virgin sim is all my preferred networks are unchecked but my phone will still connect if my 3g is turned off?
Hi all,
Have a ATT fuze that am using in UK on T-mobile and although the GPRS connection is active, I cannot browse at all. Gives me a network error? What am I missing? I have NATF V 2.2 Rom running that I installed yesterday (Quite chuffed about that since I was a flashing rom virgin!). I used to have a Palm treo 680, so I just swapped my sim over.
Help and thanks!
I have also changed the proxy settings in Opera as per one of the posts and still nothing! I would appreciate your help as I am lost...
Bump! I have tried searching for this but am not getting anywhere!
I have an unlocked ChaCha that i am using to replace one of my HD2's (one running WM7 dual booted with Android 2.3.3, and one im replacing is strictly Android 2.2)
Anyway i have this ChaCha unlocked and popped my sim card in and everythign works fine except even after putting the different APN's out there for Tmobile US, im still only connecting to Edge (at least thats waht it says in the data connection area in the status bar)
i tried doing a Mobile Connection Test and i got results in the 3g range..so im confused.
Then i did a test on my HD2 WM7 and got results in the 4g range. Is my ChaCha running HSPL / 3G and just says "E" for edge or do i need to modify / edit something else?
Any help would be appreciated. If i confused anyone please let me know and i can clarify because i really need to figure out whats going on
actually i dont think at all its running at 3g speeds because downloading skype from android market just took a couple minutes, where as my HD2 does it within seconds
I only typed in wap.voicestream.com.
You will only get EDGE if you use your t-mobile sim. The radio frequencies are not the same.
Hi guys,
This may not strictly be a Sensation question at all, but since I'm using a Sensation, and I'm baffled by this problem, I thought I'd ask if any of you have any idea what could be going wrong here. I've posted about this issue on Vodafone UK's forums but I can't post the link as I haven't posted enough yet, so I've copied what I wrote below;
Firstly I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place, it's an odd problem and I'm not sure who to contact about it. I spend a lot of time abroad in the Czech Republic, so I have a Vodafone UK contract with the data traveller service included. This has worked brilliantly for months, however about a month or so ago I started to notice problems when connected through HSDPA, on ANY of the local networks here (Vodafone CZ, o2, T-Mobile).
What happens is data can be downloaded, but data can't be sent, meaning that virtually anything that requires data doesn't work as most things do require data to be sent. So for example, the Speedtest.net app will give a great download speed, but then it hangs on the upload speed. I use a piece of software called Pubtran to look up public transport times here, and this doesn't work now over HSDPA. I can't browse the internet over HSDPA, pages just time out. Facebook won't refresh, and exchange email won't sync, etc.
Now, if I force the phone onto a GSM type connection, so that the link is over EDGE instead, everything works perfectly. No issues whatsoever, so this is unfortunately the way I have to leave it just now. I've tried the same SIM in a different phone (my usual phone is an HTC Sensation, the test phone is an HTC Desire), and there's exactly the same issue. As stated above, this problem exists regardless of the network I'm connected to. It looks as though there could be a problem with Vodafone UK's APN, but then again it's working fine over EDGE, so it's most odd. I can't test with a different UK SIM unfortunately as I don't have one to try. Some of my friends here have Vodafone CZ SIMs, and these of course work perfectly over HSDPA.
Just to be clear, this problem only effects data over HSDPA, and it only started about a month or so ago. If I switch my phone to GSM, data works fine. This is repeatable on an HTC Desire that I have too. Does this sound like a network problem?
Thanks in advance
Why don't you just call Vodafone and ask
