First of all hello,
maybe some people know this problem.
Hutchison 3G Problems/ Three / Drei however named is a network provider in various countries.
Like in Austria if you have not a strength 3G signal, your phone will switch to another network provider called A1 (Vodafone) it is national Roaming and only 2G, but it's free because they have a contract.
The big problem at this point is that if you get back to a place where 3G signal is good the phone doesn't switch back automatically. So I have to search for the network manually and that is really annoying.
In original roms from Hutchison 3G in Austria the search at least every 3 minutes for the 3G network if the are in the Vodafone network.
What I didn't say before is that Hutchison 3G has no 2G network in Austria that is the reason for the contract.
So I'm searching for a script or something else which gives me to opportunity to switch to Hutchison 3G or a automated script which does the job.
Greetings
Hi and "Servus"
did you try
*#*#197328640#*#*
-> Debug Screen -> Phone Control -> Network Control -> Band Selection -> GSM Band -> GSM all
(or stay 3g all the time with "WCDMA" on)
viel Glück!
you guy rock! that works now it would be awesome to write an app for that... I could write an app, but I need the source from the debug screen ...
danke ;-)
ok found a shortcut code to the band selection *#*#2263#*#*

in Australia we have a network called 3
3 has bad receception on 3g network in some areas but
lucky for us they use telstra as their 2g carrier
I have found that going to network
settings, phone , network
and selecting manual and then telstra
and also selecting set networks
and telstra as the priority on the network list by
moving it up and putting 3telstra top and 3 telstra below
forces it to always have telstra 2 g and full reception anywhere
so no more three 3g network drop outs

you can switch off 3g in phone options. the unit will run 30% longer because the search for 3g and 3g connection itself costs a lot of energy
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
Hello,
I will be in france for a few weeks and would like to know if anyone one had any advice on which prepaid sim to go with (i have seen that some pleople have had a problem with Orange) Also, once i get the sim , is there anything i need to do to get the internet to work.
Thank you
I'm working with a pre-paid sim and I'm able to connect to internet without a problem, didn't even have to configure anything. And I've seen all the connection symbols (G, 3G, H, E)
I'm with Proximus in Belgium, don't know about French providers...
I would recommend you try the SFR network (www.sfr.fr) - among the cheapest pre-paid plans you can get there and best GSM network coverage. I haven't tried their 3G network yet but it shouldn't be much of a problem...in any case, in order to avoid battery drainage (consumes about 1.5 times less than 3G), you should use GSM/Edge network most of the time and only switch to 3G (or wi-fi: free in a lot of places in Paris especially) when needed for data usage. You can use "bandswitch" or other Tilt/Kaiser apps present in this forum to allow you to switch band easily.
hi everyone ,i'm a new user .
as title i make this question.i often connect to internet by 3g connection.i went to setting/mobile network then i set data connection: on,3g connection: on and my country APN.My Hd7 work well ,but only "use 3g connection when availale". it almost switch to 2g network
Anybody have ideas to solve it ?it really really necessary for me
Sorry for my bad English,hope you understand my problem
Go to the dialer. Type ##3282#. Go to settings, under 'Network Type', choose 3G only. If it's already on 3G only (I think it moves back and forth between 2G only and 3G only while on Automatic mode), change it to 2G only, then back to 3G only. This will keep it on 3G only.
thank you very much.i solved it
hello friends I have a t-mobile hd7 but I'm from Colombia, they know how I can make it work on 3G network here in Colombia because it only works on 2g
Let me make it simple.
I am from Brazil. I have a Galaxy S I9000 running stock Gingerbread.
I am a TIM user.
How it was:
I could access GPRS signal everywhere in my town.
Information under Settings --> About --> Network = TIM 3G+ 16 (area code) and GPRS
What happened:
I travelled to Amazon Florest. Extremely poor signal and no data connection whatsoever.
And then I got back to my town.
How it is now:
I can only access EDGE signal. Extremely poor data connection. And people saying that they could´t reach me on the phone.
Information under Settings --> About --> Network = TIM 3G+ 19 (not my area code) and EDGE
What I did to try fix it:
Reinstalled the firmware with re-partition ticked.
How is it now:
80% of the time I get EDGE signal.
People can talk to me now on the phone.
Information under Settings --> About --> Network TIM BRASIL (no area code) and EDGE (80% of the time) or GPRS (20% of the time)
What the hell is happening????
I want my phone working as it was before. 100% of the time with 3G connection.
What can I do?
Obs: My phone is set to use Only WCDMA.
Possible ask in the Brazil post on here .
jje
Yeah, but there they use the Brazilian version of Galaxy (I9000B) and mine is the International version. And I use Gingerbread. Brazilian version only got Froyo...
Any particular reason you are setting it to WCDMA only instead of auto?
In my town, as in most towns in Brazil, 3G towers are few.
So the cell is allways looking for the best reception and keep changing from GPRS to EDGE and vice versa.
If I set to WCDMA only, the cell keeps on the GPRS and the conection is way better (at least for me).
No one can help me?
Ok!
I helped myself. And I am no expert.
The problem was that when I traveled to Amazon Florest, my cell kept searching for the best reception. And somehow it automatcally activated all frequencies for WCDMA ranging from 850 to 2100.
And here in my town, TIM only uses 2100 for 3G.
Now I am back to where I was!!!
Thanks for me!
