you're not using opera 9.5 are you out of interst?

from experience opera 9.5 on my tytn ii has proven itself to be unbelievably slow at downloading and rendering pages, gaining results os as little as 300kbps when internet explorer mobile in the same location and basically at the same time (as soon as one test finishes, the other begins, so on the same connection also) gets around 1mbps. when I access w'n'w through my laptop i tend to get around 1.2-1.7mbps using internet explorer 7, 8, and google chrome

which leads me to believe that its not the network speed thats reducing in my case, its just that the browsers i'm using a really really slow

obviously, this might not be the case for yourself, but its what i've been experiencing.

Using HTC Diamond, from the exact same location, loading pages one after the other and then again in the different order
Using Opera 9.5 - 312Kbs
Using IE - 1213Kbs

Shows that Opera is the problem!

It's not on the Athena running WM6.1 nor is the registry setting - looks like it is Diamond specific.



I would think that at the moment as the Diamond is the only phone with HSUPA capabilities, that it probably is specific to this device.

I'm assuming "Advanced network" in Settings -> Connection is something new for the Diamond? My phone is WM6.1 and I do not have it.



I believe so. I don't remember it on my Kaiser (TyTN II).

Hmmm. Perhaps we should start a pole, to see if anyone has got a HSUPA connection or not (by checking 'connectivity', mine says "T-Mobile Internet (HSDPA)".

Also, what's the point of launching it, if no-one knows how or if they are using it?



Found it myself. In registry go to:

HKLM\Software\HTC\AdvancedNetwork and change the key "SupportHSUPA" from 0 to 1.

Then go to Settings > Connections > Advanced network. You will see that this has changed from a simple tick box, to a full drop down. In the drop down, set to "Enable HSDPA/HSUPA".

Havent actually connected to any HSUPA yet here in Birmingham UK, but here is hoping that others will! Let me know!

As of today (1st July) T mobile are introducing HSUPA (High Speed Uplink Packet Access)

This means that the upload speed is now 1.4mbs (up to) which combined with HSDPA should provide speeds of up to 7.2mbs downstream and 1.4mbs upstream.

According to the ISPreview article this will be rolled out to Greater London first with most major cities to follow by the end of the year.

The full article can be found here: http://www.ispreview.co.uk/news/EkEulAlpZAiCUBmKyk.html


Anyone got connected to HSUPA yet? Is there a setting you have to enable on your HTC Touch Diamond (which supports HSUPA), or do you need to get T-Mobile to do something, or is there something else that you need to do?

You should be like me. I don't drive, and walk to work :-)

I think the government is trying to MAKE us (read you all) use public transport. No wait, that's even worse and going rapidly up in price too! :-(

Was with Orange over 8 years. No matter what, or how much I spent, never managed to get onto a decent package. Always got, as the advert goes 'New Customers Only', 'It doesnt work like that', 'Wrong kind of leaves on the tracks', etc. And I upgraded my phone every single year too (after the contract ended)!

This was the ONLY time I had contact with Orange too! Even my bank calls me every 6 months or so to make sure that I am happy with the service and to make sure that my account is meeting my needs (and I've been with them for 18 years!).

Got so sick and tired of this, that when the lovely new Vario 2 came out on T-Mobile, along with the W'n'W I jumped ship! Saving some ?10 per month even after W'n'W charges, have comparitively 3 time more minutes and texts too! Plus I have already had Customer Support call me to make sure that I am happy.

So to me, Orange can go take a long walk of a very short pier!!!

You FlangeArtist, Genius laugh.gif


Actucally, for me, in the depth's of time, when I took the persona "FlangeArtist", the term 'Flange' was a mechanical engineering term.

However, from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, the term now has some 'bad' connotations! Darned british culture. They keep using 'good' words, and turn them into 'bad' words!

---------------------------------------
For the sound effect, see Flanging.
A flange is an external or internal rib, or rim, for strength, as the flange of an iron beam or I-beam; or for a guide, as the flange of a train wheel; or for attachment to another object, as the flange on the end of a pipe, steam cylinder, etc. Thus a flanged rail is a rail with a flange on one side to keep wheels, etc., from running off. The term "flange" is also used for a kind of tool used to form flanges.

A flange can also be a plate or ring to form a rim at the end of a pipe when fastened to the pipe (for example, a closet flange). A blind flange is a plate for covering or closing the end of a pipe. A flange joint is a joint, as that of pipes, where the connecting pieces have flanges by which the parts are bolted together.

Other uses of flange
The flange is also the underside of a golf club.

Flange is also British vulgar slang for v*****.

After a Not the Nine O'Clock News sketch "Gerald the Intelligent Gorilla" used flange as a comic collective noun for baboons the usage has stuck and gained popularity. OED Collective nouns

No, I do reccon that there will be about 5-10, of which each one will end up having near enough the same content. Perhaps some of the administrators should pre-empt it, and get some threads started early and to the point?

In this weeks Computer Weekly (Thursday 20 Feb 2003), there's an article on page 10, on the above subject. It goes on to mention M$FT's alliance with T-Mobile.

Just thought that it was strange to have a photo of the Orange SPV, and not once mention Orange, but only T-Mobile :shock: . Good PR for Orange me thinks!
