Problem with 3G/HSDPA only after upgrade

[yaughan]

Good news - as a complete noob I followed instructions and have a working WM6 on my UK T-mobile Ameo. Bad news - my internet has become temperamental.

The 3G symbol changes to H after entering an address in either browser.
- Sometimes it loads the page and after a few seconds the H returns to a 3G.
- Sometimes it changes to H and displays "Loading..." and either hangs or loads the page after 30-60 seconds
- Sometimes it switches to and from 3G/H a few times and eventually shows a "page cannot be displayed" error.
- Similar temperamental behaviour in my email and weather applications.

The above is how it behaves immediately after I have run the network wizard, although tweaking with server DNS or Flight Mode on-off have not helped.

Don't seem to be any problems if I just use 'G' GSM only phone setting. Today I'm in central London.

Any suggestions please? Anyone else experiencing this?
Thanks

You can turn off HSDPA on the settings menu with Ameo WM6, this will leave you with 3G speeds only but the difference will be minimal anyway unless you're downloading files or using remote desktop.



See if that helps

And watchout, if you use the wizard you will probably notice that the access point name of your T-Mobile provider is no longer "internet".

Do you know what the correct settings are for TMob UK?

I have always used

Username - User
Password - one2one
APN - general.t-mobile.uk

And that is it - worked for me on every HTC device I have ever used
Uni's , Magician , Wizard , Hermes & now on the Ameo - I have never been billed outside of the W & W , and I have always got 3G or HSDPA where applicable

I think the offical Username is 'T-mobile' and the password 'internet'

Thanks for the suggestions.

The username/password combinations I tried all seem to work, although I'm sticking with the default from Network Wizard for now. I saw suggestions that using public DNS servers can speed up the "Loading..." wait.

I suspect the original Ameo ROM has HSDPA disabled for a good reason. For example, when loading Opera for the first time in a session, even with a blank start page, the software passes some information online. The time it takes the Ameo to switch from 3G to H for this often times Opera out and produces an error.

Even with HSDPA off I'm still getting regular errors but am not sure whether it's T-mobile coincidentally playing up, or the upgrade.

I think youll find HSDPA isnt disabled, it works, it just doesnt show the H.

I did a speed test on original TMob rom, and got far above 3g speeds.

I am based in Whitstable , Kent , and I have notced that T-mobile HSDPA performance can be a bit shaky every now and again - and the problems that you describe are a similar to what I have seen when the network is mucking around - with that data movement stopping and the indicator changing back and forth between 3G & H , I too thought it was a fault , but it went right on it's own
