I'm having the same problem. I have a T-Mobile Touch Pro2 and a nexus one. the Touch pro2 holds on two bars of 3G while the N1 switches to EDGE. Sometimes it starts to hesitate between EDGE and 3G causing apps to say "connection problems". It seems that in order to feature a long battery life, it favors EDGE over 3G and the threshold for 3G is too high.

Where there's strong 3G footprint, the N1 shows full bar, but somehow it doesn't seem as fast as it should be (7.2 Mbps) although the fast processor and rendering compensates for that.

Hope they fix that soon. It's most likely a software problem. I recall the iPhone 3G suffered from a very similar issue when it was first released.
[Nexus One General] cangri87:
Im having this issue.

at 1st i thought it was only me, until i saw the post on Gizmodo. and looking at this link " http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=0bd8ccd4799040c2&hl=en&fid=0bd8ccd4799040c200047c99c44ddfe6"

it looks like alot of ppl are experiencing this issue. Im at work and ive always had full 3g bars with my MT3G, and my Nexus One keeps going in and out of it.. for the most part it stays on EDGE.. GRRRRR hope it gets fixed with a firmware update.
[Nexus One General] firedup:
Anyone in UK with this issue?
[Nexus One General] saint327:
I to am experiencing this issue in Florida

When I do tests from speedtest app I can get decent downloads anywhere from 500-900kbps, but upload somtimes is pitiful..often less than 100kbps.

I have also noticed that when I check my phone status and look at the network connection, it fluctuates between UTMS and HSDPA.

I have found that when I plug my N1 into the wall charger it seems to hold onto 3G much better along with better speeds. Not a solution, but maybe a clue to understanding cause?
[Nexus One General] rossiscatch:
Have you tested plugging it in in various parts of your house or where ever you are plugging it into to see if it helps the reception situation?

I really hope they get this figured out soon. I am holding off on hitting that Place order button until it's all ironed out. It's definitely a test of my will power. I was going to order it last night until I started seeing this issue crop up all over the place...
[Nexus One General] vas41:
I find that the threshold for 3g is better balanced than on my htc magic. On the magic it was all too often to have one bar of 3g and not be able to download anything, timing out with connection errors. Nexus one works much better at low bars but also switches to edge/gprs when it's needed. I am on voda in uk from a house with fairly spotty 3g. So, for me I get a more consistent connection than with my magic.
[Nexus One General] rossiscatch:
Perhaps this is true, but I have also been reading about people with G1s (and one guy with a TP2) that consistently get better reception with their old phones over that of the nexus. This is the part that disturbs me the most.

Maybe it's a power management issue which may be highlighted by the fact that plugging it in seemed to help?
[Nexus One General] saint327:
Yeah, I've tried it both unplugged and plugged in in the same location. Haven't tried other power outlets/locations in home. I fall into the category of those who had a G1 and got solid 3G at the same location.
[Nexus One General] firedup:
Anyone tried it plugged into a wall socket with one eye closed standing on a chair with the phone up your arse? Works like a dream.
[Nexus One General] elkavayo:
Based on my experience, I'd have to disagree with you with respect to the Nexus, although you compare it to a phone that I do not have. More often than not, when Nexus has 1 or even 2 bard of 3G the link is totally unreliable and in most cases the application ends up showing a message box that says "no connection available: retry" (not exact wording), unless it switches to EDGE, there's no guarantee data will be exchanged with the cloud. On the very same spot, at the very same time, Touch Pro2 is able to maintain at least 2 bars of 3G and download speeds of 600 Kbps, while the Nexus is forced to 130 Kbs.

I drove today 25 miles (office to home) checking the nexus behavior, and only in very rare instances was able to keep full bars of 3G, in places where I know the 3G is strong.

I have also not seen the Nexus connecting through HSPA, only EDGE or UMTS, but I don't blame Nexus for that. It could be that this area has not been upgraded, in spite of T-Mo announcement that 100% of its network was HSPA.
[Nexus One General] elkavayo:
I might be the guys with teh TP2 ;-) and I can confirm that.

Honestly, it's frustratig for all of us that jumped into the Nexus bandwagon after all the hype and big expectations, but I'm not too concerned about it. The iPhone 3GS went through almost the same situation verbatim when it was launched. I'm pretty sure this is a software issue and can be upgraded with an OTA patch. I'd say that it's in the best interest of all the parties involved (Google, HTC, T-Mo) to resolve the issue quickly and avoid the media backslash.

Now I may be wrong, and it could be a hardware issue, and then I guess Google will be seeing a lot of returns.
[Nexus One General] vas41:
It does not indicate on the notification bar when it connects to hsdpa, but if you go to settings, about phone, status you will see it show any one of the following: gprs, edge, umts, hsdpa. BTW my htc magic never showed hsdpa, always stayed on umts (when in 3g), not sure if this is because of the difference in notification between 1.6 and 2.1 or whether the nexus one really does connect at higher speeds than magic. I also have another phone on the same network in my household, which is a blackberry bold 9700 and it gets similar reception to nexus one, alternating between gprs/edge/3g in my house.
[Nexus One General] Blueman101:
I am having this 3g/edge problem aswell, i am also not able to be on wifi and 3g at the same time.
[Nexus One General] vas41:
When you connect over wifi the phone disconnects from the mobile network (gprs/3g) and instead uses wifi connection. It is not possible to be connected to both.
[Nexus One General] Joyrex:
I am also in this club down in south Florida. HTC support is acknowleding the issue and escalating tickets for anyone who calls. So if you have not already call and open case to help apply pressure for a fix.

I also notice that my edge singal strength is worse when compared to my g1 so to me it looks like a problem with the radio in general
[Nexus One General] mattyboy247:
I have been having the 3g connection issue as well... areas that were full bars on my G1 are showing up as 1 or 2 bars on the nexus. Nexus also continually switches back and forth to Edge. Luckily, I only really use my data at home, where I have wifi. But when I am out and about, its incredibly frustrating.
[Nexus One General] hamshu:
When will people get this. HSDPA is a standard WITHIN UMTS. Same thing, look it up people. HSDPA is a protocol used within the infrastructure. It allows for high speed transfers, that's it.
[Nexus One General] SystmDcln:
I keep seeing all these posts about spotty coverage and unstable connection, and it has me really concerned. I don't have 3G in my area but probably will soon. What if this is a hardware issue? I wont know anytime soon if my phone is defective.
[Nexus One General] markimar:
I must be lucky im in Orlando and have same strength and speed as my g1. No issues here. I know there have been news articles out on this issue. Thats why I dont want to root yet because if they do an ota I want to be able to recieve it!
[Nexus One General] markimar:
how can you tell if its using HSDPA or regular 3g?
[Nexus One General] swaney:
i would lik to kno if this is the phone internally or can a patch/update be fixed for this
[Nexus One General] vgrade:
http://is.gd/5WUuD
[Nexus One General] vgrade:
Then why does the nexus report HSDPA on a UK O2 carrier while a Pulse reports UTMS and does not drop to 2G. Seems nexus is tries HSDPA but if it does not have enough signal it does not drop back to regular UTMS. It drops down to EDGE or GPRS.

See my test

http://is.gd/5WUuD
[Nexus One General] Antiskunk:
I just hope Google or HTC hurry up and bring out a new Radio ROM. If it's HTC I'll probably have to root my phone like I did with my G1. With that I got a solid 3G connection everywhere I went.

But I hear it will be an over-the-air update.

Unfortunately I'm with T-mobile UK and their network sucks. Well, I can't say that since I have a 3 pay as you go SIM which gets full 3g everywhere (T-mobile and 3 use the same basestations) which makes no sense.
[Nexus One General] newjaruz:
No problems here in North Jersey.
[Nexus One General] Antiskunk:
What networks are available in Jersey? I'd like to move there some day.

And when I say available, I mean working... with good coverage ala not AT&T (I've heard way too many horror stories about that one), and I've heard bad things about T-mobile US too.
[Nexus One General] bk420:
Finally 3g is work on my phone. Definitely a TMO network issue. I'm rooted running Bacon 1 mod.

Thank you TMO for comming through again!

P.S. it's a little laggy, must be some finaly bugs, but at least it's working in 3G.
[Nexus One General] bk420:
Nevermind, still shotty/spotty.

Some progress though, 3G icon is stable.
[Nexus One General] ianken:
Well, at the risk of sounding like an 1990s AOL user: me too.

Got the N1, gave my wife the MT3G (running Cyanogen) and sat there watching the Mt3G steady lock on 3G while the N1 got it's GSM on. Not even EDGE, GSM no data suck connection. Then it got four 3G bars, then it went Edge. WTF?

Then I did the *#*#4636#*#* trick in the phone app and locked it to 3G and things were a bit better but I undid the tweak fearing loss of connectivity outside 3G land.

Hopefully this can be fixed in firmware.
[Nexus One General] ianken:
I see the same thing here in Redmond WA. IF it;s got a 3G lock then in the phone info screen it sits there wobbling between showsing UMTS and HSDPA. AFAIK UMTS means "regular 3G" and HSDPA measn the 7.2 variety.

When I get a solid HSDPA lock I get typically 2mbps down and about 1.5mbps up. Otherwise its at best 800kbps down and maybe 500kbps up.

Something is definitly fishy with the N1 and its 3G conectivity. Did GOOG forget to slap a "beta" sticker on the back of the device?
[Nexus One General] AndroTMO:
I am looking at the *#*#4636#*#* menu and I seem to be having issues with the UMTS <--> HSDPA handoff.

Weird.

I would guess that the phone treats them as separate connections, so it doesn't know what to do.
[Nexus One General] htcmagic:
Another fix suggested for nexus hopping from 3g to cdma.

[Nexus One General] hamshu:
I get pretty good reception all over Atlanta. Midtown, Little Five, Buckhead, Virg. Highlands, Austell and Alpharetta all give me pretty good reception. The only time I lose reception is when I go into the older dorms around Tech. However, my apartment and office don't seem to pose problems. I've done no changes to my phone so far.
[Nexus One General] telee:
Not sure if my case is relevant, but sometimes I lose data connectivity with my phone and have to reset radio (Airplane mode).. My location is Hong Kong with CSL the mobile operator..
[HD2 General] tom9886:
HELP!!! Why HD2 Email can't see jpg format..? :confused:
[HD2 General] tony.wheeler:
Sorry but your question does not make sense. The HD2, like nearly all cameras, takes photos using the .jpg format and they work (as do other jpegs from other devices too, perfectly well. If you can see the photos that you have taken then you are looking at .jpg files in the built-in HTC album app.

Could you please explain more clearly what problem you have and you will get responses from others too I am sure.
[HD2 General] Archer:
I regularly receive emails with jpeg attachments, and I view them without any problems.

What's your problem? Explain more and we can help :)
[HD2 General] paulking:
mines the same, just shows the red x in the corner of the box,

i think it must be somthing to do with security settings?
[HD2 General] simon_harris:
perhaps the original question is why the HD Sense email preview can't see html emails?

I get emails from dilbert.com that are html, when viewed in htc sense preview they are funny symbols, then when I click on the mail it goes into windows mail client and then I have to click to allow internet pictures. Perhaps this is what the original post was about?

P.S. any suggestions to make this easier for me would be good, like getting the mail client to remember the show internet pictures would be good.
[HD2 General] jirka25:
You may have set e-mail with google sync (direct push) And I think that there is a problem with attachments. Despite google snyc I do not go (. Jpg, pdf, but example. Doc comes normally)

If we set the standard through the adoption of e-mail account with attachments is no problem

And so I think that google sync using a scheme that does not support a lot of attachments: (

Anyone knows solution to this problem?
[HD2 General] OhGawd:
IMAP email not downloading JPGs

I am having a very similar issue. I receive email via IMAP from a netaddress.com account. JPG attachment are simply not downloaded. they do not show, not even a placeholder in the message. I have set the phone to download full messages with all attachments - but no hint that a JPG is a attached to the message.

Any ideas?
[HD2 General] the_ape:
Microsoft set the security on the Outlook client to not download embeded images in HTML mail.

Just open the mail up and click the download internet pictures option at the top of the mail and the images will be downloaded, and before you ask there is no-way (we have found) to disable this feature.
[HD2 General] kilrah:
I have the same problem...

Both with google and imap, when I get mails with attachments I see the attachments, can click on them to download them, but then when clicking to open them I get a message saying "Unable to display document", even with simple JPGs. No way to open any image from the mail client, which is highly annoying. Anyone got an idea?

Embedded images don't work with google as mentioned, but they're fine on IMAP.
[HD2 General] Mikeant:
Similar problem

On my TP2 I have similar problem. In addition, when I save JPG attachment from message downloaded by IMAP account, it has zero size (0 b). Other attachments (e.g. BMP) are OK.
[HD2 General] melkenglas:
I have it too but it has to do something with Coreplayer of TCPMC (whatever it is called)

Coreplayer takes over all media systems when you install it. Normally i went to options and unchecked the JPEG box. But now even that does not help anymore.

So basiclly you have to change it somewhere in the options in your phone I just do not know where.
[HD2 General] stefanjadex:
HELP!!! can't see jpg format from email attachment

On my HTC Touch HD I have the same problem.

On my IMAP account I can see a message with attachments. If they are jpg file type, after I mark and download them, they have zero size (0 b).

Other attachments (e.g. ZIP, CAB, etc) are OK.

Can anybody help us to solve this situation?
[Nexus One General] joshuapurcell:
When I received my N1, I followed the instructions to power it up. When it finished starting up it said that it didn't have a SIM card and that it couldn't detect the SD card either. Rebooting didn't help.

I took the battery and both cards out. The SD card was in correctly but the SIM card was upside down. I reseated both and powered up... then everything seemed to work.

Anyone have a similar experience?
[Nexus One General] thewayne01:
My Sim card was inserted in the correct direction but was not under the little tab on the side. I noticed it when I put the battery in because the back cover would not close completely. But everything turned out OK.
[Nexus One General] melterx12:
yeah an actual person inserts the SIM card, but by the sound of it maybe a team of chimps? :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] patrickrivard:
Does any body know if it is possible and if so how to enable the HSPA: 850/1900 band on a Global (GSM/CDMA) Version of the TP2.

It already has the HSPA: 2100 enabled... so maybe someone RF inclined could shed some light on this question.

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] InRBigness:
I dont believe it has the hardware to do it. It is not a software tweak.

That is why so many people waited for the ATT version to come out. There is an Australian version that works on one of the bands but not both.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] patrickrivard:
Sorry to say that I think you are wrong about the Hardware reason...

Apparently the Pro2 has the chip installed, but it's locked down some how. That info has been floating around from an inside source at Telus. they say it actually has 850/1900/2100 UTMS bands but just got "locked" by Telus.

Also sites like Engaget has long posted some HTC FCC info proving that; http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/20/htc-passes-cdma-gsm-hybrid-touch-pro2-through-the-fcc/

Also The TP2 uses Qualcomm's MSM7600. The specs for that processor allow two major sets of radio interfaces, only one of which supports CDMA 800 and 1900. That major set has two variants that support HSPA: 2100+800 or 2100+1900+850.

So the question is; is there anyone with the proper knowledge that can tell what is onboard the TELUS TP2 and if it has infact the variant that supports the North American frequencies, how do we enable it?

Thanks for posting with FACTS and not Thoughts as this is the only way we will get a valid answer to this question.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] r34p3rex:
Hmm this is definitely an interesting idea. I'd love to have the front facing camera of the Global Version, but I still need 850/1900 UMTS
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ms0529:
850/1900 WCDMA on Global version

Gentlemen:

While the chipset has the various frequency capabilities, it is the tuning of the antannae that determines which frequencies are recieveable , ie, turned on, in the various versions. The AT&T version has a different tuning of the antannae than the global versions.

While theoretically possible, the anatanne is part of the main board and must be physically removed and replaced. I have not been able to find a universal antannae that could be resoldered to the board, if one was brave enough to give it a try.

there is software changes to the chipset controller required as well.

I think it is pretty impractical and likely impossible to do outside of have a new board installed with the properly tuned antannae to make it work. I have researched this for some time now, in an attempt to be able to use the EU versions here in NA. I travel internationally a lot, to Asia and EU, and need the 2100 band, so that has been my motivation.

There may be someone else out there who has different information, but this is what I have learned in digging through the available data for the past 3-4 years of various HTC devices and their variants.

Hope this helps,

MWS
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] KCMatt:
Can someone who keeps close tabs on their data speeds with AT&T run a speed test and see what you get?

I just read on wmexperts.com that AT&T has completed their 7.2 HSPA upgrade to the 3G network and I am getting some really high results on speed tests, but I don't really know what I would've gotten a week or two ago.

Can anyone confirm that the network is much faster?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mv1luv:
i did this speedtest.net with my laptop connected to my fuze via usb. i had 1 bar of reception. i got a download speed of 1.3mb/sec not bad at all :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] kingofslackerz:
Full bars 120ms 1.3 down, worse than usual.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] KCMatt:
Okay, I just got 11834 kbps at mobilespeedtest.com. But I was using the skyfire browser, so is that cheating because their server downloads info and then sends it to my phone?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] KCMatt:
Okay, I tried it with IE Mobile and got 3213, 2000, and 2991 kbps. With 1-2 bars.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ryaske:
im on energy pheonix rom, on long island. in H data mode.

I ran mobilespeedtest.com in opera with 3 other tabs ope (old browsing session) and got 294 Kbps, 400 Kpbs.

Then in IE Mobile: 377.

Then I clicked the "test again" link on the mobilespeedtest for a 1 MB download, in IE mobile, and it returned 2388 Kpbs, 2197 Kbps.

Then ran the 3 MB test, 2050.

So dont just trust the 100KB test, click the 1mb. Then a 3mb. If your speeds increase as you go up, latency is the problem.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] aarons44:
I changed my ResProxy value to 0, but it hasn't stayed there. It's not the same value it was before, but it isn't 0 either. I've read that on some other new phones, like the TP2, there is a process that changes certain settings back, but I can't find that same process on the Pure.

How do I get it to stay at 0? Or should I just delete the keys for all the files it's trying to cache :)

[Nexus One General] tytnight03:
So I opened my phone and as soon as I opened up a white screen, I noticed a nagging MISSING PIXEL! I know it's a bit paranoid but one would expect their product not to have any effects after dropping close $600 on it...

I called HTC and their warranty department says there are 2 options: 1) they can send a new phone, or 2) repair this one. Taking the first option, they would charge my credit card full price of the phone for the time being, then send out a new phone and I send mine back. Once they realize the defect, they will refund the money. If you send it in for repair, not only are you out of the Nexus One for 2 weeks, but they also charge a $28 service fee (nonrefundable), and in the end probably replace the phone anyway. I'll probably take option 1.

Anyone have missing pixels? (Try looking at some blank white screen to analyze)
[Nexus One General] melterx12:
nope not me
[Nexus One General] thewayne01:
I am afraid to check. If I do and I find one, it will drive me crazy. I sent back 2 dell flat screens in a row because of a dead pixel on each of them.

I suppose I better find out now, and not when its too late to do something about it.
[Nexus One General] melterx12:
I wouldnt worry about getting dead pixels too much. the AMOLED displays in the N1 are Samsung -- high quality stuff :)
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Which is fine, but checking is a good idea. You can get a pixel fixing app on the Market that helps you test for dead or weak pixels. If you find one, then tell them to send you a replacement.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] InRBigness:
I get my email on both my PC and my phone. There are many times that I have already read the emails that are on my phone. On my old Kaiser I was able to push and hold on the first message then drag and select all the messages under it that I wanted. I could then go and mark them all read in bulk.

Is this possible on the TP2? The only way I can see to mark bulk messages is to go to menu--- scroll down to select messages---- then pick several and then select messages. Then to mark as read you have to hit menu again and scroll down to Mark as read. That seems like way to many steps.

If that is the only way can we reorder the menu so that the select and mark as read are at the top of the choices?
