Hi,
I just got my N1 and I'm very disappointed. As soon as I got it i updated to 2.2. For some reason I can't get 3G, it defaults to Edge. Does anyone know of a way to work around it so I can get my 3G speed?
Thanks In advance
Did you make sure your ordered the right N1? For Fido I would think you need the Rogers AT&T model as opposed to the T-Mobile one.
Also go into your dialer, type *#*#4636#*#*, go to phone information and loo at Set preferred network type and see what it says there but those things rarely get changed, if it doesn't say WCDMA preferred that'd be weird unless you wee already tinkering with the settings.
If it says GSM only than that would be your issue, set it to GSM Auto (PRL) which generally gives better battery than WCDMA preferred. Alternatively you can test setting it to WCDMA only which would force it into 3G mode but then if you don't pick up a 3G signal, you won't get anything at all which is what im betting will happen in your case.
Thanks.
It was set to WCDMA prefered. I set it to GSM auto like you suggested.
So are you saying there's nothing I can do to get 3G to work on this phone with Fido?
You can also try double checking the APN settings. Here is how:
1. Go to Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names
2. Press the Menu button > New APN
3. Name: set it to anything like "Fido 3G"
4. APN: internet.fido.ca
5. Usename: fido
6. Password: fido
7. APN Type: default
8. Leave everything else as is
9. Press Menu button > Save
10. Now from the list, tap the radio button next to this new APN created.
Give it couple minutes, and it should switch to 3G.
Let me know if that fixes it.
Already tried that and it didn't make a difference.
Thanks

That's it, most probably. Especially if you have the Developer N1 (you just got it, so if you got it new, you definitely got a wrong one).
In this case, you'll see no 3G.
I believe after the 2.2 update, The APN is automatically generated by the phone.

There are 2 different Nexus models. Look it up.
I obviously know there is 2 models he was talking about the wap and GPRS APN , all i said was my phone gets the correct 3G APN.
Hey everyone!
Just curious, is there a way to have the SGS use only 2G on the rogers network? When I turn my APN on it automatically tries to connect to 3G, but I actually have unlimited 2G browsing on my plan, but no 3G plan.
I went into rogers and they said I cant do it, but I dont want to believe them lol
Thoughs?
it's true at the moment
but i never heard of such a BullS about 2G plan vs 3G plan
if you have data plan, it wont matter if it's 2G or 3G it's still data
if that was true, they will need to provide separate APN for you to enter into the phone
This works on my Captivate
Go to the phone app and enter *#*#197328640#*#*
Select 1) Debug Screen
Select 8) Phone Control
Select 4) UE State Control
Select 3) Change RAT to GSM
Unfortunately the setting will go back after a reboot, if I remember correctly.
I believe switchpro has an option to fall back to 2g....don't quote me though lol

yep, but it doesn't work on the SGS, seems it was designed only for HTC Android phones in mind
I have a rooted, unlocked and sideloading enabled Captivate (JH7, same issue with JF6 before).
When I insert a T-Mobile USA SIM card, the phone stays forever (= more then 60 seconds) on no network[past boot animation]. Usually I get impatient (after about 15 seconds) and then manually select the network under settings, then I get a GSM/EDGE connection.
With my AT&T SIM it takes about 5-15 sec until I get a 3G connection[past boot animation].
Is this behavior normal or are there certain applications or scripts trying to prevent access or hindering access to other carriers ?
Also , with the T-Mobile SIM, under
{wireless and network->mobile networks->network operators}
I can actually make selections (automatic and manual), with the AT&T SIM this field is grayed out and just says "default". Is there a way to enable the menu so I can select between automatic and manual ?
I face the same problem. Does anyone can help me?
The problem is solved. Thanks to all.
How did you solved that kind of a problem? Flashed to i9000-based rom?
How did you solve it ?
Besides flashing to a custom rom, lol......
I am talking about/interested in stock ROM not a custom/community rom.
why not rom from i9000?

This is for me who came back from Dubai and found my stupid captivate would not connect back to AT&T network.
I could not change the network as default setup was greyed out and phone gave continued warning could not connect to etisalat ( dubai provider).
I found out through a lot of hard searching that I needed to use samservmode then
DEBUG SCREEN > PHONE CONTROL > NETWORK CONTROL -> PLMN AUTO/MANUAL set to AUTO
That fixed it and got me back on AT&T
But how to get back in Settings - Band mode? WCDMA/GSM GSM WCDMA?
Doesn't seem to be a way to turn LTE off to conserve battery. I mean, you can turn off Mobile Data all together but that seems to be the only option.
On previous phones I have always tried to go through the day with the slowest data possible to conserve battery, then when I am surfing on need the faster data, I just turn it on.
At least in the Canadian version we have the option to not pick LTE. In settings->Wireless & Networks -> mobile networks -> Network mode
These instructions for the Thunderbolt work. It's a bit much to go through every time you want to switch, though.

*Edit*
Nevermind. It appears that you cannot change the default Preferred Network Type on this phone with that method.

Unfortunately the AT&T Phone does not have the Network Mode selection although I would guess once we get these phones rooted and what not we will probably see Rom's for AT&T That have that option included.
This would have been nice to do for those of us without LTE at the moment.
Also in the same boat wanting to turn off LTE and go to HSPA+ or even just Edge while I am in the office not using the device for anything other than text. Phone taken off charger at 8am and is now in the yellow range.
Can someone with a rogers version do the temp root, and then pull their settings apk for us? Would that do it if we install?

diagnostic mode still works too, you can set your network via that.
dial from phone dialer "*#*#4636#*#*"
hit "phone information">"Set prefferred network type:"

I'll play with it on the Vivid but on the Aria, if I changed it and either toggled airplane mode or rebooted it would usually switched to what I changed it too. It would not change immediately after changing it in diagnostic mode.

No 3g on vivid. Only LTE, HSPA+, and Edge.
I'm going to the try logging in as well and will try the switch when i get the phone. Post up if you've had luck with either of them and if you've seen an increase in battery life.

Changing the APN will drop you off LTE. yay finally found a way!You can even then use the *#*#4636#*#* phone pref method to turn it to WCDMA and have it still. I hjope that means it turns off the LTE radio entirely. Will see with battery life.
Thanks... hopefully this helps battery life a bit.
That is my ONLY complaint about this phone so far... well that and the locked bootloader.
OK so I went and Had a guy (page plus Dealer) switch my BIONIC over to Pageplus...I can make phone calls no problem.
BUT NO 3G or MMS.
running android 4.1.2
sys version 98.72.22.xt875
build number 9.8.8o-72_vzw-22
I don't think its rooted.
the guy did something where I dont need a sim.
I have scanned the pages but cant seem to find any help with the recent update.
I am not half as smart as some of you all so if you can give me step by step directions on how to fix this I would greatly appreciate it.
still no answer or help? WOW
How are you supposed to make phone calls without a sim? I'd take it back to Pageplus and have them fix the issue. Your build number looks funny, even though you are not on the latest ota update. Are you on a custom rom? That could be the problem.

You need Verizon 4G LTE sim to make data work like we did on ICS..
Please insert any blank Verizon 4G LTE sim and your data will start automatically....

I'm at the same build, version, etc as cucci_slamr. I have MMS and 1x but no 3G. Paid to have it flashed, really don't want to have to pay somebody else to redo flash just to get 3G. Any ideas? My network type is already set to CDMA auto (PRL). Thanks
