HSDPA on the Treo 750

---

I like a number of you have tried to get the HSDPA working on the Treo 750v. I believe I have stumbled into the solution.

First, go to a German site called fit4communication anytime at http://www.fit4cat.de/thread.php?threadid=91. Down load a program called "fit4cat Hermes Tweaker" (Windows loader version is what I used). Unzip the file and install it to your Treo 750v.

Second, go to XDA Developers at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...e=Hermes_Utils and download SetHSDPAv2.zip. Unzip the file and copy to the mobile device windows directory.

Third, on your Treo 750v start the "fit4cat" program. Scroll done and click the phone tab, select "enable" for HSDPA. Click "File" option on the bottom of the screen, selecting the save before exit option.

The Treo 750v will do a soft reboot.

Then go to DSLREPORTS.com/mspeed. I consistently get 800+.

There is a bit of hitch though. I have not been able to get my DUN working since I tweeked the Treo. But I believe I can resolve it on my portable vs my desktop.

I attached the tweeker file and the SetHSDPA is already here at XDA.

Good luck

Your instructions don't seem to say what to do with the SetHSDPAv2 file? I had downloaded the fit4cat file for the TytN and it seemed to be able to turn on HSDPA; if this works for the 750v then it would be great.

Anyone else able to get this working?

You just put the file in the windows directory and put the short cut in the windows startup folder then soft reset

I have done it but havent tested yet as i am in a bad area and can only just get gprs

Ok, couldn't resist. I just did this and the results are a bit mixed.

I tried DSLreports with 100k file before the "upgrade" and I got 190 kbits/s but I only did this once.

I did the "upgrade" and now I get 284-326 kbits/s on 600k files (did this three times), while there is an improvement, not sure if this counts as HSDPA speed. I do have UMTS coverage when I tried this so it should work. Maybe since I am trying from Hong Kong, the DSLreports site is not the best one to choose from.

Thoughts?

I've been trying to copy the sethdspa.exe file but keep getting this message: "Cannot copy sethdspa:access isd denied. Make sure your mobile has enough memory (it has!), that the file is not read only and that you have permission to copy this file type."
I also get a message saying the file is not a valid Win32 application.
btw this link doesn't work http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...e=Hermes_Utils

any help gratefully received.

thanks
Mike

Solid Results

I posted this over on TreoCentral and number have posted their results - most pretty solid. I've gotten between 550 and 890 speed. Hey, it's an inexpensive solution and should tide us over until the new ROM is released.

Some more help.

I've uploaded the file "Sethdspa.zip" Hope that helps.

Dude you are a bloody genius done the hack on mine and it works great

Thanks for all you effort

got it working and enabled hdspa with fit4cat. Only recording speeds of 330 - 375 on 1mb downloads. This is on UK T-mobile with hdspa enabled on my service. Signal strength is poor here though so i'll try it again when I have 4 bars and i'll post the results.

Had a few problems with voice calls since i switched this on, missed calls etc i am going to have to switch it off again, looks like this is the reason for palms delay
