Hi everyone,

I have a strange problem with my Sensation. I'm not sure what spec it is.

Here is the issue.

When I go into *#*#4636#*#* -> Phone information -> Menu -> Select band

I have 3 options: EURO, AUTOMATIC (DEFAULT), USA

My provider uses 2100Mhz as 3G frequency. When I leave the setting at default i get very slow speed, less than 1Mbps if I switch it to EURO I get 6.5Mbps. Leaving it in EURO setting also kills all the 2G frequency except 900Mhz, so roaming in the USA was not possible. I had to switch the phone to USA, then it's no problem.

My question: Why can't I change the 3G band in the normal menu? Is there a way to do this? Or do I always have to go to the special menu?

Why leaving it at AUTOMATIC gets my so slow speed?

Hope someone can help.

Thanks!
