Guest mvorchard Posted October 27, 2009 Report Posted October 27, 2009 Hello there, I've been reading here and there and it seems that there is no 3G support for me on this phone...... :P I got this unlocked Hero: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=170371144833 And I've upgraded the ROM, enhanced package, and even the radio thing... no support for 3G, and I've tried everything...! Tonight, I did the last test, put my chip on another very simple Nokia phone, and 3G was just there smiling at me :D What am I supposed to do? Is there any solution for this? Or I can be forgetting about 3G....????? Edge (and wifi) works just fine. Please enlighten me! Thanks and regards, MO
Guest wuka Posted October 27, 2009 Report Posted October 27, 2009 Take a look at "Settings -> Wireless Controls -> Mobile Network Settings" and check if you activated "Use only 2G networks"...
Guest mvorchard Posted October 27, 2009 Report Posted October 27, 2009 Thanks. Did that several times... but, just to be on the safer side, I'm setting it ON, rebooting it, back to OFF, and then reboot it again... Would it have anything to do with the radio part of the custom ROM??? Cheers, MO

Guest mvorchard Posted October 28, 2009 Report Posted October 28, 2009 Will try a wipe and factory reset now... unfortunately with no much hope... will report back as soon as anything ;-) Cheers, MO
Guest mvorchard Posted October 28, 2009 Report Posted October 28, 2009 Did the wipe & factory settings and nothing seems to hace changed, except for the customized scenes I have to redo... :-p Here is the info on my phone... maybe some of you could tell if I did something wrong! Model: HTC Hero Firmware version: 1.5 Baseband version: 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18 Kernel version: 2.6.27-mck-1.2 root@vmware-intrepid-x64 ) Build number: MoDaCo Custom ROM 2.8 Core, SSH password: XxYYYx Software version: 1.0.0.A6288 Anyone, please... the fact of not having 3G on my phone is driving me crazy... B-) Thanks again!! MO
Guest rherman Posted October 28, 2009 Report Posted October 28, 2009 It could be your location. I don't get 3G in the United State on AT&T, not sure what network your on.
Guest mvorchard Posted October 28, 2009 Report Posted October 28, 2009 You're right, rherman... It seems that my problem, unfortunately, is the type of band my mobile operator uses... it is 1900 MHz. Is there any chance that through using the radio rom images available I could overcome this "minor" problem.......???? Thanks! MO
Guest kendon Posted October 29, 2009 Report Posted October 29, 2009 no, you cannot download hardware from the internet. a sprint hero should help, though i don't know whether it works on at&t.
Guest mvorchard Posted October 30, 2009 Report Posted October 30, 2009 ;-) At least I now know. Thanks anyway!! Cheers, MO
Guest rhedgehog Posted October 30, 2009 Report Posted October 30, 2009 No, a Sprint Hero won't help as Sprint is a CDMA network, which is a total different technology.
Guest mvorchard Posted October 30, 2009 Report Posted October 30, 2009 Everything is working smoothly now... even the Activesync is good enough over Edge... so I cannot complain much... once the Hero comes here, and it should get with 3.5G support, I'll upgrade it. In the meantime, I'm enjoying it :-p Cheers, MO
Guest kendon Posted October 30, 2009 Report Posted October 30, 2009 No, a Sprint Hero won't help as Sprint is a CDMA network, which is a total different technology. ok, don't know what radio at&t uses, i'm from germany :D @mvorchard: nice to hear you found a solution, edge is not that bad. have fun :P
