Edge Connection Problems

[kogac001]

HI Everyone:
I just got my HTC P3650 Cruise and have problems connectiong to the regular Edge network with AT&T. I don't have 3G or HSDPA in the location that I'm at and it take a long time to search and lock in on the network. It is also very slow. I have a Tilt and it works perfect in Edge and 3G.

when I travel and go into a 3G/HSDPA area, the phone works like it is on broadband. I searches and receives the AT&T network instantly like my tilt and works without problems. It does not have a strong signal when it gets between buildings and inside concrete structures. My tilt has a lot better reception.

Is anyone having this same problem? Do you know of any setting that will correct this condition. I already changed the band setting from auto to specific for AT&T. It does not make a difference.

I have the HTC branded TyTn II. My problem is not exactly as yours but something similar. My TyTn II on an edge connection barely gets a download speed of 100 kbs. When I put the same SIM in my old HTC branded Touch I can occassionally peak at 200 kbs. So the edge speed on my TyTn II is usually half of what I can get on my Touch.

Obviously this is not an operator related problem as I am using the same SIM Card between the two devices. I don't have 3G in my country and the best is EDGE what I can get. Any suggestions or similar experiences would love to hear.

I just flashed the radio 1.64.08.21 and it does not seem to make any difference on the network. I have not tried it in a 3G r HSPDA network yet.

Anyone else having problems connecting with the Polaris? When I change sims and putit into my tilt it works on all networks and flies. I don't know if AT&T is doing something to enhnace the phone on their network with all their applications. The only thing different is that I use a proxy server on the tilt.
