Can't get UMTS in US on ATT

[Ogawa]

I'm using my Orbit 2 in the US on ATT and can't seem to get full 3G. I can get HSDPA, but not UMTS.

I'm using the original 1.58.25.14 radio and Bepe's .65 WWE Premium.

Is anyone else in the US having this problem?

Will it change by upgrading my radio to 1.64.08.21???

Thanks

When you are in an area with UMTS then 3G will be displayed, when you start transfering data H will be displayed.

LOL - I just got a pm from someone...

I was under the impression that UMTS was faster than HSDPA...

thanks...

yes, i know HSDPA is 3g, that's why I'm referred to UMTS...

The 3G (and HSDPA) work on the UMTS network... RT(F)W: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMTS

Also, be happy you only get the 'H' icon... that mean you're on the 3G network and HSDPA is available, and that means more download speed than the standard 3G networks speed.

I thought I had a problem as well.

Actually I get "H" icon all the time in Cincinnati. It actually is 3.5G, was just in Florida, Orlando area and I then got the 3G icon.

The H is alot faster for downloads for sure!!
