Discussion: Killed my HSDPA on me Tilt

Killed my HSDPA on me Tilt Well I seemed to found a way to kill HSDPA on a AT&T Tilt. Not sure what I did, I had just loaded Advanced Config and exited the program when I could no longer get any Data with HSDPA enabled. If I turn HSDPA off I get 3G and Data works, just slower.

With HSDPA enabled I programs accessing the internet time out. For instance IE will say connecting... locating... and then after 30-60 seconds comes up with an error saying it can't find the page requested.

Please help, even to let me know it's not fix-able.

I have the tethering plan and have used HSDPA for almost a year.

2. RE: Killed my HSDPA on me Tilt I think I just found the trouble, it must some how be related to the one tower nearest my home. When I go anywhere outside a 5 miles radius (I live near the tower) everything works fine.

Here is the weird part, every where else the phone will switch from HSDPA to 3G to Edge and back no problem. Here in town it locks into HSDPA and refuses to switch to 3G or anything else. I don't know if it means anything but it seems to get an IP address I can ping but I don't get any DNS info!.

Now how can I convince AT&T that there's a problem when their support person denies there is any HSDPA services and I should only expect 3G?

I have a similar issue . . . 3G was consistent in all of Metro Denver in February, as of end of August (with swap of phones & SIM) phone will show 3-4 bars of 3G, hit call, dops to all the way to 2 bars of Edge and many times won't even be able to initiate dialing. Now usually unable to make a call and use Google or Live maps due to this, very frustrating, but AT&T says everything is OK - Really it's not!
