H3G Italy vs H3G Austria

[wally80]

Hi guys!

I am experiencing something strange with my Diamond.
I verified that the issue appears with different ROM and with different Radios (I've tried .05 and .08 so far).

When I am in Austria:
The reception is excellent, also in comparison to other mobile phones.
The icon close to the taskmanager says:
"3G" when I am idle, or when I call,
"H" when I use HSDPA (when I browse internet),
"E" when I don't have good coverage and switch to EDGE from other operators.

When I am in Italy:
Reception is clearly worse in comparison to other mobile phones.
The icon close to the taskmanager remains always "H" regardless if I am not using the phone, or if I am calling or browsing the internet.
It seems I am always attached to HSDPA.
(anyway I've verified that the data connection is not open.)

Is any of you experiencing the same issue?

Ciao,
Dan

Never been in Austria with my current cell, but I can tell you about Italy, where i presently live in. Besides, I am also a h3g customer.
Well, it is quite well known that diamond doesnt excel in reception overall. However all works as it should. I mean i see the H only when I am downloading/uploading data. If not I get normally 3G or E in roaming TIM.
You make me curious... you pushing me to come to austria to check it out :D

if your operator is 3... it's well known that hasn't a massive coverage as tim or voda

Sure, I know...
In the same place where I have 2 notches with the Diamond, I have 5 notches with a 2yrs old Samsung (with Tre Italia H3G).
I know that the notches are not so reliable, but so much difference is strange.

This does NOT happen in Austria, where the different cells behave almost equally (with Drei Österreich H3G).

And that H, which remains constantly there, never changing to 3G, E, or something else, makes me thinking....

I've currently Dutty 3.6b, with radio 1.09.25.23 (I've also tried 1.08.25.08 and 1.00.25.05).
