I'm from the philippines and i am using globe prepaid as my network. I asked from globe what is the configuration for 3g, the lady gave me a configuration sheet but when i entered as my access point, i cannot access the internet. I have a friend who uses xperia ray and he cannot connect as well. Any note user from the philippines kindly help or share your 3g settings. Thanks!

I've just had a quick Google and there are lots of suggestions out there. Here are some, hopefully one helps you:
First
Second
Third
Fourth
Fifth
APN
I tried all the configuration for the said links but unfortunately I still cannot make my 3g work. Although I found in one forum that when he changed his SIM card to a new one (probably a more recent one), he was able to make his 3g working. Can anyone confirm this? My sim card I think is about 4 to 5 years old but when in my Nokia N95 before, I was able to have 3g connection (it is the one instead of the antenna signal icon in turns into 3g icon).

Hi everyone,
I am trying to find out if anyone in the UK on o2 is able to see "3G" on there notifcation bar at the top?
I have been trying to find out for a while and have recently changed my sim card to a 3G as i have had mine for ages and was still an old 2g one!!!!!!
Since swapping I still only see G all the time while downloading data. Does it actually change to 3G when its available?
My current settings are:
o2 mobile Web Post Pay
APN mobile.o2.co.uk
Username: o2web
Password: password (i think!)
APN Type: Internet
Any help would be great
Regards Jim
Well when I'm inside I get HSPDA, I some times see the 3G logo, not often, but HSDPA is better anyway, when I have a decent signal or it drops to edge, but outside I always get it, It could be due to lack of a decent signal?
Make sure in Mobile Network Settings you have Network mode set to GSM/CDMA (Auto Mode)
My Internet settings are the same as yours
So you actually see a 3G logo then.........humm
I checked my network settings and mine are on auto as well.
Im wondering if there something wrong with my phone????
The only reason I say this is because my m8 is on 3 network and when were next to each other he can pick up a 3G signal and I cant. I find it hard to beileve 3 has better network in my area. Specially I always have a 5 bar signal.
Cheers for replying

Have you checked your signal on the o2 post code checker? I wouldnt bash three's signal thinking o2 is better! as 3 network share nearly all 3g sites with tmobile now and have really good coverage so dont use that as a president.
Also best to try your sim in a unlocked/o2 phone in an area that you know gets signal like the o2 shop. Also i didnt think any network needed new sims for 3g apart from orange with the strange usim!
I see both H and 3G.
Yeah i needed a new sim. Got mine about 4 years ago and was told i had an old 2G sim. I didnt know they updated sim cards !!!!!
Ill check the postcode checker on the website and will probably go to the o2 near me. Hopefully Ill pick it near there.
Im not overly bothered about having it where i am, just want to know it works ok.

I bought nexus one from my friend.
I am currently using HD2 with 3g data.
When I plugged in my sim card to the n1, it only worked with edge.
So, I seared internet for some information and I found out something about "*#*#6436#*#*" and change the setting to WCDMA only. Then the phone got no signal at all, so I changed back to WCDMA preferred. Then I did ping test but it did not seem to work very well.
Then I played with some APN setting and I realized that I lost data connection completely (phone still working)
I have tried to reset the phone but no luck.
Can anyone please help me with the problem? I am using T-mobile.
Thank you.
Pull your battery, and look at the back of your phone. At the top of the dark area there are numbers, look at the PB or FCC ID numbers. If they end in 9110 then you have an AT&T version of the phone, and the hardware will not work with T-Mobile's 3G service...

are you in the USA? you need to list your location. it is likely that you purchased the wrong version of the nexus one. there is an ATT version and a tmobile version. each only works with the proper 3G. so an ATT n1 on tmobile only gets edge, and vice versa. check which version you own.
For the last weeks.. I have been trying to get this phone working with T-Mobile..I had unlock the sim card and now running badboyz 4.3 rom. 1.3
After unlocking the sim card and setting up the apn, selected T-Mobile from the available networks and it will connect. But when I go to work, I will lose signal every few block, and need to search for available network again and wait to select t mobile again.
I had try to use the t mobile sim card on my old phone and everything will works fine with no signal lost.
Can anyone please HELP!... I been searching and looking for an answer for more than 2 weeks..but no resolve.....
Thanks

How did you get the SIM unlocked in the first place?

This is probably because T-mob covers only particular places the frequencies this phone uses http://theunlockr.com/2013/07/05/htc-one-sprint-specs/ vs t-mob https://t-mobile.jive-mobile.com/#jive-document?content=/api/core/v2/documents/4988

Is there any solution for this problem ?
Is there anything I can do to fix this problem ? (different rom or radio...etc..) Or I have to give up the phone... Cause it is too much headache to "searching for network" all the time and miss all the call with no service on the phone without knowing..
Thanks

well, I am not an expert on the tmobiles network, but going by what lazybozz, said, I seem to remember tmobile using different bands than the other carriers, so what you may be experiencing, is the phone being in the vicinity of multiple towers, but not all of them are within the band that the phone supports. So its like the phone doesnt even see those towers. On a side note, this issue caused alot of chaos for those who unlocked iphones about 3 years ago, they could use EDGE on tmobiles network but not 3G, so i assume this is a similar situation. So long story short, yeah you probably cant fix the problem, unless you get a quad band phone. I could be wrong, but it does sound like a logical reason for the issue you are having.
as elvisypi said above, Its the freq that T-mobile operates on in that area. If your getting T-mobile at all in the states then you have already flashed a radio. However flashing any other radio is not going to give you the freq that tmobile uses, Its not a software limitation its a physical hardware limitation.
Thanks for your reply, do you know any app out there that monitor and alarm you when the network or signal is lost ? That works with 4.3 ?That way at least you know the phone is offline ... some of the apps I tried is anything at all ...
Thanks
Have you tried an app like tasker? Its essentially an automation app. It isnt jist for your use. Its for many different functions. Jist look on the app store for tasker. That might help

Hi All,
I have a Moto G 2014 (titan) and have been using CM for a while. Last month I just moved to USA and joined T-mobile. It was good but expensive. So I switched to a family plan of AT&T last week. However, I can text and call, but could not access internet through AT&T cellular network. Custom services only tried to change SIM card and change APN settings (we tried a lot of APN settings). But none of them works. (Of course it works when you put the SIM card in another phone). So after googling for a while I guess the problem is with the "modem" firmware? I am not sure though, 'cause I am able to set APN. I hope you guys can direct me to the right direction. I was using a version of CM13 last month when I am with T-mobile. It worked fine. I did not do any updates when I switched to AT&T. However I just updated to cm-13.0-20160906-NIGHTLY. The problem persists. BTW it now just shown the signal but no sign of 3G, however, I do not remember if it is suppose to shown that. Does that mean I am not connecting to the 3G network at all?
It would also be real helpful if you can direct me to learning resources of cellular networks and how to troubleshoot such problem. For example, I found myself have no clue of the answer to the following question (excuse me if they are silly questions) and could not find an answer by google,
Is the APN settings related to the type of hardware of firmware that I am using? Does a specific hardware/firmware works in one APN but not another?
Thanks a lot!
Hey guys! I solved the problem by just erase modemst1&2 without install new modem firmware. Could anyone tell me why?
Hi there, well I got this new tablet and its pretty good apart from I cant get vodafone 4g to work on it... I got a 4g data plan put the sim in and only got H+ max... when I put the sim in it said due to sim change/new sim will need to update settings but as the device doesnt do it automatically will have to do manually but vodafone doesnt show any settings info on their site when I clicked on the link... spoke with vodafone a few times and so far no luck even though they say the tablet supports 4g and they support the tab... now I swapped my phones sim with the tab sim and at first my phone wouldnt do 4g either till I installed the settings they texted me across (phone supports auto settings) and then the data card got 4g... but the phone card in the tab didnt and did the same message saying get the settings which I cant do as they are not on the vodafone site... anyone have any idea? many thanks
ok so after a lot of searching it appears it might be the fact that the tablet I ordered does not in fact come with b20 (800dd) which is what pretty much all the providers in the UK uses... I think this is hardware and not firmware related (is this correct) so I might have to return it... the tablet was advertised as having the 800 freq range so I either need to deal with H+ or return... ffs just set it all up too...
