Have you tried taking the 3g setting off and just having it as 2g. I read on the XDA forum that one of the problems with HTC phones is that they are not very good at seamless switching from 2g to 3g and often can't find 2g after having 3g (and so where 3g is weak, 2g doesn't kick in instead and so you get left with a weak signal). I've switched mine and it's good now (wireless and networks, mobile networks, network mode - set to gsm only instead of gsm/wcdma auto) Let me know if it works for you - did for me. Data will be slower on this, so just switch back when you want to use the internet services.

 

Now I don't have this problem. But I have another question.

What do I need to do, for my phone to show me the "GSM only" option xD. Mine is a stock DHD (ofc with apps, and so on, but no changes to the OS and network systems), with Froyo 2.2, but I only have two options there, either "GSM/WCDMA auto" or "WCDMA only"

Anyone that knows? Because at some points I do actually wanna try and limit the service (for battery efficiency) by force.

PS! Maybe I just get "GSM" if I cut mobile network communcations with the network control widget, hmmm =S

 

Hi
GSM only is an option on my unbranded UKphone. By putting it to this setting, I definitely sort out my signal problems. I do switch to WCDMA when I want the data connection tho.

 

But my DHD is also unbranded, and unlocked. No stuff from any operator. It's completely 100% HTC stock. But I don't have the GSM only option =/
