[Q] Milestone xt701 not connecting to 3G need pro help!

Alright, this is the deal, I bought a Motorola XT701 from Amazon, international unlocked version which is supposed to work with HSDPA 850 MHz 3G radio, which is the one that Kolbi ICE (Costa Rican carrier) uses for their GSM 3G data same as AT&T, however, the phone doesn't seem to be recognizing the 3G network, it just displaying the "E" for EDGE at the top, I have seeing the G (GPRS) a couple of times, but I have never been able to get the 3G network to be recognized, this is what I have done:
* Went to Kolbi and activated the 3G data for my phone, confirmed they support this phone.
* After noticing that my phone was not connecting to the 3G network, I took out my SIM and stick it in a iphone 3G and worked like a charm it was super fast on the 3G network, I put it back in my phone and just connects to the EDGE network.
* Entered in the phone *#*#4636#*#*/ phone information and it says that: GPRS service: Connected, Network type: EDGE
* For the option to Set preferred network type: GSM auto (PRL) is the only option that seems to work right
* When I press the menu button under "phone information" screen I get one option that says "Select radio band" when I select this option I get a window poping up saying "Set GSM/UMTS band, I get many different options but the "Automatic" option is the only one that lets me select, all the other options (including USA Band) I get set [xxx Band] Unsuccessful
* I made sure that the option for "Use only 2G networks" is NOT checked
* Made sure APN settings are the right ones (Name: ice3g, APN: kolbi3g, MCC: 712 (preset), MNC: 01 (preset))
My phone is currently running 2.1 eclair and is rooted.
I DO NOT WHAT ELSE can it be done, if I take my SIM card and put it in another 3G phone works just fine that tells me that the problem is not with my provider, so I have the following questions:
How can I check which band is my phone using for data?
Is there a way to make my phone use the 850 MHz data 3G instead of others?
PLEASE HELP, I love the phone but I want to use the 3G data, if not possible I will have to get an iphone (not my first option).
thank you,
Marco

You're positive that you didn't buy the 1700/2100 mhz model?

The only thing I can think of if your phone is indeed not a 1700/2100 mhz model is to google "APN settings" for your particular provider. I know even unlocking my fathers Motorola Milestone (locked on Telus in Canada), my Rogers sim could not connect to 3G until I went into Mobile Networks->Access Point Names and manually wrote in the APN settings.

Thanks for the reply, I triple check the APN settings with my provider and they are pretty basic just: Name: ice3g, APN: kolbi3g, MCC: 712 (preset), MNC: 01 (preset), nothing else.....but I have an update, today for some reason the phone displayed the "H" for HSPA for about 10 min and the phone worked great for those 10 min, then.... it went back to the "E"...no idea of what is going on here.... I did not change any settings... just happened... could it be software related?

so guys i did i little checking and i found this for the xt701 3g problem on 850 network go to this http://modmymobile.com/forums/4005997-post58.html and they will explain everything you need to make it work

need help with my p1000 on at&t

I'm running the overcome jupiter rom on my p1000 with an AT&T sim. I've tried the jk3, jpz, and i9000 modems and none seem to allow me to use data or voice. I'm a little new to this and just wondering what else I should try. Thanks for the help.

Can the international tab receive an at&t signal?

Im on the jp4 modem now and im getting edge but no 3g, one step closer but its too slow...any ideas?

You need to reflash the at&t modem.bin file...

What apn setting are you using?
It should be wap.cingular.com

From the searching I've done it seems like I have the right apn settings.

Is your wireless mode set to auto?

Yes it is.

I have tried every one of the modems in the modem thread, ive reflashed overcome multiple times with both the at&t modem the international modems listed in the install guide and I still cant get my tab to work on 3g....sometimes i get edge but never 3g....what am i doing wrong?
and im using my at&t sim card(that works flawlessly in my captivate) in an international tab with the gt-p1000 model number and the white back

To use at&t 3g signal you need to be on the 1900mhz band, and 850mhz band. Check the built - in capabilities of your tab (google).
What are the first few lines in the APN settings please.
For the wireless mode, what happens if you set it to wcdma only (no signal, I'm guessing).
Is packet data checked?

packet data is checked and from my understanding the international tab(model gt-p1000) is capable of at&t 3g
and my APN settings are:
Name:
ATT
APN:
wap.cingular
Proxy:
Not Set
Port:
Not Set
User name:
WAP.CINGULARGPRS.COM
Password:
Not Set
Server:
Not Set
MMSC
http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS proxy:
wireless.cingular.com
MMS port:
80
MCC:
310
MNC:
410
Authentication type:
Not Set
APN type:
internet + mms
and you are correct about the network mode

Ok, this is the last thing I know to try.
On the dialpad *#2263#
tap [2]WCDMA BAND
Tap[3]WDCMA 1900
tap Select WDCMA _W1900 only
An astresk should be in the bracket now.
Tap the menu button, select back
Tap menu button, select end
You are back at the dialpad.
Did the E (EDGE) change to 3G or H?

I flashed JMA on my SGH-I987 and it now reads GT-P1000. My APN is set to:Broadband, and I have no username set per the original settings I had before I flashed. It wouldn't connect before I set that post flash. Now My 3G status icon switches between 3G and H but connects.
hope this helps.

Are you using the sim that came with the tab, or one borrowed from another phpne? Because the "Broadband" apn is for the sim that came with the tab. Wap.cingular is for borrowed sim cards.

Im using the one that came with the tab. thanks for the update about the difference!

Skyrocket to Note APN help

So i bought the Note. Wife gave me skyrocket for xmas, put the sim in the note, and put the exact apn from skyrocket into the note (manually of course). Internet now is spotty at best, sometoimes speed test will say no connection, at best it'll show DL speed 1.5MB/sec....any ideas? Ive tried the wap.cingular APN, phone APN, all with very inconsistant results. I heard rumor that the new ptn apn is new and has 'kinks' in it?? Bottom Q is : which APN setting should i use!!??
thx

I had an infuse 4g and I used both the Phone APN for my internet and the wap.cingular APN for my MMS. Make sure your fast dormancy type *#*#9900#*#* using the dialer. A menu will pop open and near the bottom there will be an option to turn fast dormancy off.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412384
I'll link the topic that I found it in it does a better job of explaining things

just wonder what the ptn apn means. the skyrocket is an LTE phone and uses the pta apn. I am using the Pta apn with no problems but just remember that some areas fall back on gsm service so check to see if network mode is set to auto or wcdma. switch to auto allows the phone to shift to 3g when HSPA is not availble.

For the Note, just use the Phone and wap.cingular APN's. PTA is for LTE only.

[Q]Xperia Z shuffling networks..APN help

Hi guys
The reception bars would be working fine without any APN in the phone, but then I dont have LTE or mms, its once I add those that the network shuffling begins.
Xperia Z constantly switches between LTE, 3G and 2G and goes back to LTE..does this about 5 times a minute
this phone was bought unlocked overseas and I manually entered APN for LTE and MMS settings
without any new APN settings this is what was in it when I went under Mobile Networks> Access Point Names
Fido Tethering (no radio button)
APN: isp.fido.apn
MCC:302
MNC:370
APN type: DUN
so I added:
Fido (my APN - had radio button)
APN: LTEMOBILE.APN
MMSC: mms.fido.ca
MMS Proxy: 205.151.11.13
MMS port: 80
MMC: 302
MNC:370
APN Type: not set
I know something is wrong in my settings to make it shuffle networks but what, its my first android ever after 3 generations of iphones, still trying to wrap my head around its logic..any help would be great

Problem data leaving WIFI

Greetings friends, someone will have problem with the data after leaving a WIFI network? I have to turn off mobile data to activate the 3G, this device does not mark H +. and searched information everywhere and I get nothing on this issue. please help!
i configured correctly APN, the problem is when I leave a WIFI network to network DATA, I have to put it in airplane mode, several times to grip the data network, I have a question? This phone does not mark H +? I appears in the device information HSPAP(H+), but only get the 3g icon.
Thank you

See screenshots at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/r1-hd/help/dual-sim-issues-t3426120
Icon labeled 4GLTE when LTE is connected, but just R (registered?) for HSPA+, whether connected or not.
Is data turned on at Settings/Data usage?
At Settings/More/Cellular networks/ is Preferred network type set to 3G/4G? Maybe it's looking for LTE.
Mine goes directly to whichever network data is turned on when I turn off wifi.
What kind of sim are you using?

Cellular data connection status doesn't show in the status bar. I'm using freedompop 3G for the moment. See the screenshot.

greetings, in my country is not available currently the 4g lte network, and put on 3G/4G, 2G only, 2G/3G/4G and 2G/3G/4G LTE and the problem continues, I have to put the airplane mode or restart cell to grab data.
the only solution I can find is put always active mobile data in programmer Options. but it consumes a lot of battery.

Always active seems to be the default. It's on in my phone and I never changed it.
In Settings/Battery is Standby intelligent power saving on? When on I get about 1.5% per hour standby.

The "R" is Roam I believe. You might want to look at your APN and Network Operator settings. If your phone is roaming, it is going to burn battery. Maybe try turning off Roaming?
When you go to Settings -> Battery and then tap the graph, and it will show you metrics in RYG for Cellular Network Signal, Wifi, Awake, etc. What does your "Cellular Network Signal" look like?

Freedompop roams on att and t mobile (it's a global sim card) I had the lg g4 before this and I was able to choose which I would be on, now if I try to manually connect all available networks are "freedompop" then it says roaming ("R") is status bar, on my g4 it would have an "H"
Any app to get more details on my options and what I'm connected to?

Thanks but that's not what I mean,
On other phones it was fine on the "BLU R1 HD" it only roams and I can't choose between att and TMO

What I'm trying to do is with the FREEDOMPOP sim card choose which the phone should roam on between att or TMO all I can choose from is a list of "FreedomPop" but it's not saying which is roaming on
(Other phones you can choose)
I believe one set is att and the other TMO but how can I know (see there are two sets, two of each 2g 3g 4g)

May I ask why it matters which one it roams on? i'd just turn of the advanced lte and not worry about if it was t-mobile or at&t it will pick the strongest signal and connect to it. but there apps that can help you figure out what network and who's your actually using.
