Hi,
Sorry if this have been mentioned before, but this behaviour drove me nuts
In the Century City area CT, my HSDPA data connection on Cell C drop to EDGE and becomes unusable.
I found this on XDA Forum, and it is the end of my problem ;-)
Go to Network Mode under Wireless & Network Settings, and force WCDMA mode
Hope this can help someone with similar behaviour
"Had to hear it from the horses mouth, I called up HTC's tech support. I asked what was the difference between WCDMA preferred and GSM AUTO PRL. The gentleman I spoke to told me that they both have lots in common and that the only difference is that WCDMA preferred will favor 3G and GSM AUTO PRL will favor EDGE.
He continued to tell me that WCDMA preferred needs to reach a low threshold to go straight into 3g from edge. GSM AUTO PRL has a higher threshold, or higher standard has to be met (db of 3g signal) before it will go into 3G.
He mentioned that gsm auto prl will save the user a bit more power because it wont force the phone to continuasly hunt for a stronger signal. Typically this option gives our n1's a weaker signal and slower data speed. But he said it depends on our network in our city"
