Froyo: Only 3G and not HSDPA

How can i fix it?
The problem is present before flash nexus one.
I only can use Edge and 3G.
Thx

I'm having the same problem. It's not too big of a deal for me (3g is ok) but I def miss the speed of HSDPA.

How do you know it isn't using HSDPA? The stock rom never shows an H, it always stays at 3G even when it switches over when there is a data transfer.
I just looked around, but I can't remember where in the settings you can go to see if it is connecting at HSDPS. Maybe someone else can point you in the right direction.

I didn't know the stock rom didn't show it. So is the "H" icon like a cyan feature or what? I noticed a slight speed decrease too but people were saying in the dev section that going back to an older radio may solve the problem.

If you want to check the network type: *#*#4636#*#*
There should appear HSDPA.

i've tested with speedtest.net app. it's very slow!
the firmware 2.1 show 'H'... 2.2 must show too, if it's enabled

Stock 2.1 doesn't show 'H'. Only custom Roms.

Not that. There is a lot of info there. Check what says 'Network type:'

What if we edit the build.prop with the HSPA settings ? On froyo

it show me Network type: HSDPA but still very slow!

Well then you have HSDPA What's the speed from speedtest.net ?

down:28kb/s
up:82kb/s
before froyo:
down:2100kb/s
up:100kb/s

The new radio that comes with froyo has caused this for a few people and you can see your old speeds again if you flash an older radio (don't know if this is the only way) but an older radio will cause the camcorder to quit working on froyo.

That certainly is strange. I would advise to wait, maybe it is a temporary network problem. Try rebooting too if you hadn't. You don't have the ATT Nexus one version do you?

The stock ROM has never shown H, its always shown 3g only even when you have hsdpa. I've never rooted so trust me. But I still get fast speeds like 3 Mbps.

Maybe reselect your regional bands in the service menu under phone information. Are you in the USA?

Not on Froyo yet, but I always see "3G" here on my stock 2.1 ROM on AT&T.. Here's a result from earlier..

FRF72 and 3G

Hey,
I've recently upgraded to the new FRF72 firmware update and and for some reason I'm no longer able to use 3G. Whenever I uncheck 'Use 2G networks only' I loose connection to my network (Orange UK) and get the "Emergency Calls Only" message.
Can anyone help?
Regards,
Brent

Not sure, I know when I upgraded I got way better signal. Dont know if its coincidence or not, but Im also getting like twice the speeds. My latest speed test was 4.2 Mbps
Hope ya figure it out. Just saying its not a frf72 thing as my speeds fly

Try rebooting at least twice.
I've not noticed a difference.

I have a similar problem. 3G connection is now much worse, after upgrading I have noticed that the connection is now less sensitive and loses signal much easier, especially when holding the phone in in hand. Very bad update..

Well bugger me. After trying to fix this since FRF72 got leaked and I decided to punt it, I appear to have solved the issue.
For those who're suffering from the same problems; I remembered I've played around with Network Type in the hidden settings (dial *#*#4636#*#* then click Phone Info). I turned Ciphering off and set the Network Type to CDMA only rather than the default WCDMA preferred. I've now changed this back and things seem to be working.

my 3G speed is blazing now in Houston.
It's triple the speed of my work connection.

uk vodafone, 3g speed apparently increased.
I have literally just added the frf72 release, as I sit here.
I did test before upgrade and got 1555kbs
test after 2293kbs
not a controlled test as other apps could have been using the connection in the background, however, this is where I always sit and have never seen that high a result.
I am running stock, Froyo installed when first update.zip came out, and frf72 update.zip just applied now. otherwise nothing changed.

while we're on this speed subject is there any way to get EDGE any faster, where I live the providers only have EDGE unfortunately!

[HELP] Connect to the internet but get no signal icon

Hi! All...
After I did a lot of flashing (sometimes 4 times in a week), I get this strange.
I'm sure, I'm in 3G coverage area. So, I always set my Network Mode to WCDMA only. As usual, I can access to the internet but for this time on stat bar I get no signal icon like this:

I guess it's because of simcard, then I change with other simcard (different provider), but the result was same - connect the internet but get no signal icon.
Then I tried to install with custom rom and flashing to stock - doesn't change.
Is there any hardware which is broken?

Concl.
Set Network Mode to WCDMA Only:
+ connect internet
- USSD and sms not work

Bt i think 3G myt hav got deactivated so just check once... Bcoz its showing GPRS connected. Even the same thing happend to me. When i shift to 3G i.e WCDMA i dont get signal and as u said USSD and none of them works. But this happened to me once my 3G pack finished and my 2G pack was started. So could be problem with operator. Try in GSM it would surely work. These days operator came to knw our many tricks.. So when we change to WCDMA we dont get 3G signal.. They don't let us use 3G unless we hav activated it..:good:
Got it?

Hmm... How to check if our 3G have activated?
I try the simcard in modem device, the signal get 3G/HSDPA and works well to surfing.

Actually 3G can be checked by changing to WCDMA by as I think it is not activated so its not showing. N coming to modem.. some modems r unlocked. N it works as only 3G modem. So dats y its showing iin modem. Hmmm but even I experienced same. N came to knw that only if 3G is actiavted we get signal. See as I said.. I wasn't getting signal.. so I activated 3G for one day n for that whole day I got 3G signal. So I think only dat could be probs.. ttu to search plans reg ur operator in net for one day. N try den hope u will get signal of 3G:thumbup:
Hit thanks if that helped u:thumbup:

[MOTO X XT1052 ] Time without signal

i wrote about my problem losing signal whlie switching 3G-2G 2G-3G
I live in an area where the 3G signal is not very strong, and it happens that the phone changes alone in 2G mode, then return to 3G when the signal is better..
It happens, however, that during these steps 3G-2G or 2G-3G phone loses the line, so that in that passage i'm not contactable if someone phone me, I realize that I get the SMS notification later.
I noticed that the indicator of the phone signal is reset, and I can not even call. As an indication of the lack of signal is about 4-5 sec
With other devices like Galaxy S2 and Motorola Defy+, in the same place with the same operator and sim didn't happens...

I look this on SETUP/Battery/Cell Standby
time without a signal x%
sometimes is abot 1% and sometimes even 7%,
can you have a look about your devices?
Thanks

8% on my XT1060. Sucks working in a dungeon where nobody has cell service.

I've had time without a signal up to 25%. However the phone had a signal pretty much the entire time but it was HSPA instead of the preferred LTE. The time without a signal seems to indicates how much time the phone does not have the preferred signal protocol, not the time it actually had zero signal, in my case anyway. Upstairs at home I have LTE, in the basement I only get HSPA so it is easy to see.

I'd only be concerned if your battery life is bad, with no obvious culprit. Then it may be your signal strength. And Gsam and other apps won't show you that signal killed your battery. But its always a good guess when your signal is suspect and nothing else shows up in Gsam.

battery drain is ok, but why the phone lost signal if there is good signal field?????

[Q] Frequency Band messed up

Hey guys,
it seems like i messed up my frequency band on my i9305.
i installed an app to change my network status to WCDMA only as the signal at my working location is very low and my phone automatically switches to edge (which i dont want it to)
The app itself is just a shortcut to the service menu.

}
Changing the network mode worked fine, but i accidently tapped the menu button AND changed the frequency band to USA while holding the phone in my hand without watching the screen.
my question is:
how can i change it back to EURO band?
as you see, there is no option for that.
i switched the preferred network mode back to LTE/GSM auto (PRL)
as you can see on the first screenshot, it shows -81 dBm 59 ASU for the signal strenght.
so for me (im a noob at this) it seems like the phone actually recognizes there is a network but it doesnt connect to it because it is set to USA band. May that be right?
However, i need to know how to switch back to EURO band, flashing another modem didnt help at all.
can i do that with adb for example?
(com.android.settings.BandMode) << scratch that.... am start -n com.android.settings/.BandMode in adb gives me the same options of course (USA Band, Cellular 800, PCS 1900)
Please help me somehow
Edit: to clear things up: When using *#06# it still shows my imei. it also shows the baseband in the phone info under settings.
if i get it right that means that the efs partition is still okay.
i have no idea what could be wrong

Update:
Looks like i solved the problem.
i just flashed a lollipop cm12 rom + gapps, flashed the modem again and voilà.
I even have a better signal now due to the new modem.
After that i went back to the nameless lollipop rom and everything is still fine.
