3G Issue - getting only Edge

[Roze]

I have not been able to get 3G on my phone for the past 2 days. It's only on Edge :< I have a Nexus One but I haven't made any changes on my phone, nor have I downloaded any apps that would affect my 3G :/ I'm thinking that it's something to do with Rogers. I live in the Toronto Area. I work in downtown Toronto and I have always gotten 3G here in my office or outside. Also my 3G used to be really strong when I'm home (GTA-east side) but now it's just Edge. I would like to know if anyone else is experiencing just Edge in the GTA?

Thanks,
-Roze-

Are you telling me noone here is from Toronto? Today I've been getting intermittent 3G. So I'm crossing my fingers that the 3G stays for good!

Hey Roze,

Yeah, I'm out in Calgary! I haven't had any 3G issues lately... Perhaps they are updating their HSPA+ network? Even if you have a Nexus One, you should be able to call in and find out if the network is intermittent.

As well, try removing and re-inserting your SIM card. I've found mine has faulted before.

I hate calling in to Rogers...too bothersome *sigh*. I'll try the SIM trick if I get kicked back to Edge.

How's Calgary? I can imagine it'd be freezing considering how cold it is here >_<; We're getting around -10 for the past couple of days (windchill is high -teens or low twenties) I hate winter and as some people have told me..it hasn't started :/ (this is my favourite complaint atm, lol)

Couple of weeks ago we hit -35... My HTC Dream nearly exploded, I swear.

It may also be the radio software you are using. I'm running a proprietary hacked T-Mobile radio, and my reception is way better than the stock one.

Unfortunately, I never owned a Nexus One, so I don't know about the radio software options. I guess it'd depend on if you have a stock ROM or a custom one. Most of us in this forum have Rogers-based phones... I think Puleen has a Nexus One.

For what it's worth, I found this thread (Yes, Rogers seems to be deleting them from their forums) same issue:

Re: 3G Toronto - no service - I will complain to R... - Rogers Community
