I have just got the HTC Mteor but I can't get it to work with GPRS on orange PAYG or Contract. I saw some files on this forum but it won't let me run them on the phone. Can anyone help me set it up please?
sorry to havent answerd your question in other thread...
when this from my post don't works:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1244877&postcount=8
just google for the correct settings from your provider!!
or just call them that they say you the settings!!
also my provider has a map on his webpage where i can check what coverage is available in my location!!
also when you see the 3g symbol in top bar you are in a 3g location!
maybe you must have a special contract with your provider to start connections in 3g area?!
just try to set bandwidch to GSM (means only GPRS/EDGE) and test the connection!!
if this works your provider maybe have lock if you haven't a special "3g Contract"
I tried to contact Orange but they didn't have this phone on their list and then they gave me some settings that didn't work?
I don't think this phone works on 3G actually. I know it has GPRS covergae because there is always a letter "G" on the top of the screen. If anyone else has this phone on Orange then can you let me know what setting you are using please.
when your provider supports 3g then your phone have no problems!!!
UMTS is supported by mteor from factory out!!
HSDPA Supports is added with actuell Shipped ROM !!!
when you only have the G icon it means you have only configured (in bandwitch selection gsm) or your network coverage has only GPRS available!!
just check the settings under settings/phone/bandwitch(?!)
there are 2 lines first band: 1. AUto 2. GSM 3. WCDMA (=3g, hsdpa)
2nd is the region... should normaly be on auto...
I just checked the setting that you mentioned and it was set to auto on both options. I tried setting to the 3G and it said that it was not possible to connect when I typed in an internet address on internet explorer.
maybe you have not 3g coverage at your location!! or your contract didn allow 3g connection!! ask your provider!!
when configuring the data connection look to the modem options there you can select different modems .. just try gprs only
Hi,
I am using Nexus One in India, and my service provider is MTNL Mumbai. Their network is 3G enabled. I have 3G activated by the service provider too. I have put the settings for my APN, using the settings available here -- dolphin.mumbai.mtnl.net.in/cominfo/docs/general.doc (Sorry, I am not able to post links)
However, try as I might, I have only the "E" icon displayed in the status bar displayed, no 3G. The EDGE network works properly, I am able to surf, but of course, it is horribly slow.
Things I have tried:
- Settings, Mobile networks, uncheck "Use 2G networks only"
- Go to test menu (*#*#4636#*#*) and set the phone mode to "WCDMA only"
- Searched google for people having the same problem
When I set the network mode to "WCDMA only", for some time it shows no network, and then again drops back to "WCDMA Preferred", and shows the "E" icon. My N-1 was bought from Singapore, it original had the EPF21B build on it. Hence, I am assuming that my radio is hardware compatible with my service provider..? MTNL uses European 3G frequencies. Also, the problem is the service itself, since I am able to activate and use 3G properly in my Nokia E51.
Currently, I am running the FRF50 Froyo build - I have unlocked the bootloader and rooted my N1. However, the same problem used to occur on the stock EPF21B build, even when the phone was "virgin".
I'd appreciate any help. Thank you.
If I see correctly, your provider works with 2100 MHz - which would make it compatible with both Nexus versions, so the problem most likely isn't there.
Yes, MTNL Mumbai uses 2100 MHz. Any other ideas or suggestions, please?
hi guys
there is a problem need u help
I brought a m110s I9k's Kroean version
It said that it support to work in edge network
but whatever any roms ,there is only G!
i want to konw why?!!!!
and how to slove it
THX!
that sounds like an area reception problem
G (GPRS) and 2G (EDGE) they both run on the international quad band 850/900/1900/2100
I'm a little confused, you have 3g working but you'd rather have edge? 3g is the faster network and possibly the stronger signal, so your phone would prefer to connect to that network. If you are using an older firmware you can play around with the secret codes found here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=721111&highlight=Secret+codes
best code for you to check out would probably be *#*#4636#*#* however Samsung removed or broke these codes 1 or 2 firmware updates ago. Also, you can look into the wireless and network settings and go to the bottom and turn off 3g. Please note that the phone and/or some carriers might not allow data over 2g, I know my carrier doesn't and this phone is designed to be optimized for SKT.
Please let me know if I'm confused about your question and i'll try to rephrase If I can better help you.

thanks 4 u answer,but my operator——China Mobile is support another 3G，TD-SCDMA，so i can‘t use wcdma。and CM is supply edge，so i don’t why，maybe samsung block it。
I was confused because I thought you were connected to "G" (I thought you saw a "G" on your notification bar). Have you tried to disable "3G", this might be able to force you onto an edge network, I don't think it'll work, but it's worth a try if the code I mentioned doesn't work.
Go to settings > wireless & network > 3G data call settings > select "no"

i want to know dose m110s support EDGE in China?
i see that in #*4636#,the network type is GPRS,how to change in EDGE?
even if you managed to change the settings to EDGE, it wont work
if GPRS is the fastest service provided by the cell phone network
last time i was visiting Cuba, their fastest network wsa only GPRS

As far as I know, it was blocked, and not without support。
The problem is how to get his support, the same as moto xt701。
maybe it as same as xt701,like you said.
change the radio band maybe will slove the problem ,take it from the euro band or hk band

I didn't see this post from you, you can access settings I can't so we are probably on different FW versions DONT UPDATE:
Try these codes to see if you can update the band

Doesn't china use different gsm networks?
I am having problems with internet all together. I have the Anycall Korean Samsung Galaxy S shw-m110s but I live in the United States and use AT&T but cannot seem to get the internet to work. I entered the correct APN settings but cannot even get an EDGE signal. Anyone have any ideas?
Can any one help to transplant baseband from i9000 to m110s?
Because EDGE is so important for China Mobile. It is hard to afford WCDMA. Thanks!
I'm currently using CM 6.1.2 on my Milestone.
If I switch to 2G mode in the mobile network settings, I have no connection.
If I use the Toggle 2G app, it doesn't seem to really do anything. If I set 2G to use one of the options that don't disconnect me (WCDMA, CDMA or GSM 2g/3g) it still shows 3G in the status bar so I'm not sure what the point is in using the Toggle 2G app.
Wondering the same thing myself...
Does anyone knows the answer?

I am not certain about this (i use rogers), but i believe that telus has no 2G (edge) network. They built a 3G only network just in time for the olympics to replace their cdma network:
So the toggler probably cant find a valid connection and retries 3G.
Manual mode cant find a network at all.
On rogers, i can fallback to 2g. This is normal according to what i think i know.

thanks for the info.
That's what I thought so have given up on the idea of getting 2g to work
I guess when it comes to 3g and saving battery life, juice defender will have to do as it can turn off data when the screen is off but still have the phone working.
Well, I think I made some progress with this.
On my phone, I was also loosing the connection when switching from 3G to 2G but it's working now. I can get calls, it's only the data aver 2G that doesn't work now.
I have the Cronos rom on my phone, I can tell you what I did if you're interested.
Yes please do.
If it works on cm6 then at least I can also save juice by not using juice defender... oh the irony... lol
edit: hey look at all them Canadian flags, eh?!

Took me a lot of time to find the right switches combination.
Anyway, I have Toggle 2G auto managing the 2G/3G and for the bottom 2 options:
2G network: WCDMA preferred (3G/2G)
3G network: GSM auto (PRL)(2G/3G)
If I check under Setting/About/Phone/Status, I see written mobile network type UMTS.
Hmm... I had those 2 settings reversed when using toggly2g
I will try that.
Right now, my mobile network type shows up as HSPA.
Your post prompted me to find the difference and came up with these 2 useful pages just before my head exploded.

Is this not the same then as just shutting off data?

Not sure but I don't think so. You can turn off the data but have the phone connected to the 3G network, right?
I think you could get data over 2G but it's just very slow, right?
With Telus I don't think they allow data over 2G.
zeppelinrox, I wonder why yours shows like this, what do you have active under those settings?
What ROMs are you guys using?

When I'm on 2G it shows as UMTS
With 3G (mobile data enabled) I see it alternating from 3G/UMTS to H/HSPA.
I'm on CM6.
My phone always shows HSPA except if I set it to use 2G then it shows GPRS - which is when I have no data and no phone signal.
I did use the Telus baseband file in AOR though... I wonder how it will behave if I use the Canada baseband....
Also, here's a neat trick....
dial *#*#4636#*#*
A Testing App will show up....
Select Phone Information and then goto the bottom.
You can set your preferred Network type.
Ok so that listbox shows all the different options.
The only options that will save are:
GSM only (2g - I get nothing - shows as GPRS)
WCDMA only (3g - shows as HSPA)
GSM auto (PRL) - (3g - shows as HSPA as well)
All the other options either are not selectable or just revert back to GSM auto (as is the case with WCDMA preferred)
I just did a few speed tests and I seem to get faster speeds with GSM auto than I do with WCDMA only
Gonna try that Canada baseband now....
Edit: Same thing. Except the speed test is slower for both WCDMA and GSM autio so best off using the Telus baseband.
The dial trick doesn't work. I dial the sequence as a phone number, right?
It disappears then nothing changes.
ah.. yeah sometimes it takes 2 or 3 tries...
do you use adw launcher?
If so, you can actually create a shortcut for it... I figured it out today.
1 Press and hold on homescreen and select Custom shortcut
2 Press "Pick your activity"
3 Select the second item on the list ie. Activities (with the ADW icon)
4 Wait for all stuff to load, scroll down to Settings, and press the arrow next to it to see the long list of activites that Settings.apk can do.
5 Scroll down near the end of the list, you will see Testing(.TestingSettings)
6. Select that and press OK on the next window.
I also made one for Battery History, which is actually part of the Testing app but is usually only accessible through Spare Parts.
I still can't get the trick to work... doesn't do anything on my phone
Right now I'm on the 2501 rom (latest 2.2.1 from Motorola) and I can say it's the best I've tested so far!
Outstanding battery life!
I found another way to run Testing App.
With Google gesture search you can set it to launch Settings actions
Let it scan and then write "testing" on the screen
Edit: oh crap I mistyped the code.
Its *#*#4636#*#*
I had 4536 before so I fixed it

Well, after doing some more tests and trying different apps (2G/3G switchers) I can say those apps work only if your cell phone company has both 2G/3G network.
In Montreal, only Rogers has both.
Easy to test (btw: I'm using the FroyoMOD rom): go in "Settings" -> "Wireless & Networks" -> "Mobile Network Settings" and check "Use only 2G networks".
See if your cell phone company is listed when you do a search under "Network Operators". If it's not, don't bother using a 2G/3G switcher.
When doing this, in Montreal I see only Rogers listed. If I uncheck "Use only 2G networks" I see all 3 of them: Bell, Telus and Rogers.
Hope this helps!
hi... my name is Juan and I'm looking for help from chile...
I want to enable HSPA / HSDPA in my samsung galaxy S, because here is very slow our mobile network.
Me and my girlfriend we have the same cellphones, our configs are the same (options, mobile company, acces point names, everything!)
She can "surf" with HSDPA at 1.9mb/s but my phone is always in EDGE and everytime that I make a test with SpeedTest, my speed is 0.07Mb/s!!!!!
I read EVERY PAGE, in the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=837716
and I was looking more for help here...
I sought on internet and I tried EVERYTHING... but nothing happen...
Please, exist another way to change the HSPA / HSDPA from 0 (disable) to 1 (enable)???
please, help!
thank you!
no one?
any idea? change a variable inside the root folder??? please help.
thanks!
First do you have 3g enabled from your operator?
Secondly make sure your network is not set to gsm only in your handset
Im having this problem also.
Trying to flash CM7 and having issues. I believe the answer is to enable HSDPA.
Has anyone managed to successfully get this working. Im on Orange UK if that helps.
Did you followed this procedure:
Go to the phone dialer pad and enter this code: *#301279#
Click [2] CHANGE HSPA REVISION
Click [1] RELEASE 99 (HSPA OFF)
Then you should see something like:
CHANGE_R99
HSDPA OFF, HSUPA OFF
?
I've exactly the same issue. I have tried the *#301279# code and change it to on, but it just won't. I'm going into "Click [2] CHANGE HSPA REVISION" and selecting the HSDPA to on. But if I go back and check the status it is still 0. Is this has something to do with the carrier? Or maybe after selecting the value you need to save something? Desperate!
I have the same problem. I have hsdpa 0 hsupa 0 and can't turn it on anybody has solution ? I wanted flash cm7 but I can't do it without hspa enabled
Yup same issue here. Was going to create a new thread, but perhaps I should bump this one instead.
*#301279 is permanently ingrained in my head now, but I just can't seem to modify any settings through it.
Suggestions if anyone new has come on board?
if you are all running CM7 I think you need to flash to a 2.2 rom, enable HSPA in that rom and then flash back to CM7. I read that somewhere in the tutorials for previous versions and not sure if this bug still exists but just so you know. good luck

Enable 3g from your operator. Then go to settings > wireless and network > mobile networks > [select] use packet data, set network mode to WCDMA/HSDPA/UMTS.
Should work now.
I have the same problem..
but when i go to settings > wireless and network > mobile networks > [select] use packet data, set network mode to DSM/WCDMA (auto mode)
Where is HSDPA & UMTS ?
anyone can help..
This worked for me.
1. dial *#301279#
2. select 2
3. select 3
4. hit back key to exit.
5. go to Settings->Wireless Networks->Mobile Networks>Network
Mode. Select GSM/WCDMA(Auto Mode) or option 1 whatever that is.
6. hit back key to exit.
7. If still not working toggle airplane mode. This step should not be needed though. If you wait a few seconds you should see the 3g/h/h+ appear.
