[Q] Milestone never receives EDGE?

Im on t-mobile and for some reason i never ever get edge, even if on 2G only. Only ever receive GPRS which is so slow... Help would be great thanks.

Anybody?

Are you running stock? If you arent, make sure you have the correct baseband set through recovery. (AOR forsure has this option)

The uk baseband doesn't appear in OR

In my own country, some Telco GSM network are using GPRS instead of EDGE for their 2G mode and WCDMA/UMTS for their 3G mode.
The telco that I am specifically using in my country offers EDGE for their 2G mode and HSDPA as their 3G mode.

Can it be used in the u.s?

I'm in the process of getting a Samsung Galxaxy s i9000 from Europe (a trade) and I would like to know if I could use it on T-Mobile or AT&t in the United States. Would I have to unlock it or is it already unlocked?? Would love to know as soon as possible... thanks...

You should be able to use it on att. Not sure though if even with the proper modem that you can enable 850hz band. Still has 1900 though so you should be good. As far as unlocked goes, depends if it's a carrier model or not.

I currently have T-Mobile so I was wondering if I could use it with T-Mobile. The internet speeds don't really matter much, I just want it to make and receive calls and texts.

Yes you can.

You said internet speed doesn't matter much . Edge only I believe.

i9000 supports 3G bands 900/1900/2100
AT&T uses 850 and 1900. So you'll only get 3G on AT&T in 1900 MHz coverage areas.
TMobile uses AWS 3G bands (1700/2100 MHz). It requires BOTH to work on 3G at all, so it will only work on 2G/EDGE.
You could use a Galaxy S i9000T on the entire AT&T 3G coverage, as it supports 850/1900/2100 MHz.

[Q] connected to edge instead of hsdpa, how can i prevent that?

hello
i've been googling this for a couple of hours now and i cant seem to find how to solve my problem
i was with my gf today, she has a S3. we are both connected to the same network operator. my signal was E , hers was H .. i went to system settings->about phone->status on both phones and compared signal strength and it was about the same.
my brother's iphone 4s almost always have much faster internet when i'm connected to edge (that means he's not on edge) - he's also connected to the same network operator.
its driving me crazy , why won't my cappy stay connected to hsdpa when its possible? how can i change that ? (WCDMA is preferred, baseband selection is automatic)
i'm using I9000XXJVT modem. was using slim bean rom 4.2.2 build 2.5 (now i'm on build 3) . unofficial semaphore kernel.
about my network operator technology from wikipedia (its a virtual operator):
"Its network is an HSPA+[citation needed] network in the 2100Mhz band, with roaming also available on Cellcom's 1800Mhz GSM[6] and 850Mhz/2100Mhz HSPA+ network."
any help would be appreciated.

The Captivate's Network Frequencies and Data Type: GSM Quadband:850/900/1800/1900MHz
UMTS Tri-band:850/1900/2100MHz

type *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer and then go to phone info, scroll down a little bit and you'll see it .. there is no UMTS there ..
i forgot to mention that I DO GET CONNECTED to hsdpa when there is good signal , but when there is low signal it switches automatically to edge , and i always thought thats normal and its ok , but today i got really surprised , 2 iphones + 1 sgs3 , that were on the same network operator were having much faster internet than i had. i had 2 E bars , the s3 had 2 H bars. and as i said before the s3 had just about the same signal strength (dBm and asu)
thanks for the reply though

Sounds like the iphone 4s and sgs 3 are probably connecting to the 4g network.

as far as i know there is no 4g in my country yet + the s3 is the international version so it doesnt support 4g anyway (im pretty sure its the same with the iphone)

Change your preferred network to GSM auto (PRL)

Open dialer *#*#2263#*#*
Then try desired band

Let us know what the results are for you after you change the preferred type to what i suggested in my previous post.

it won't stick.. but anyway, i guess this is the opposite of what i want (i want H preferred over E) , or am i mistaken ?

my network provider supports hsdpa on 850 and 2100mhz and edge on 1800mhz, i still want the 1800mhz where there is no 850/2100mhz signal , but i want it to be 3rd priority (where 850 and 2100 are the first 2 priorities)
theoretically WCDMA preferred should do what i want , but its not. thats whats driving nuts..
thanks for the replies

oh man.. i said it myself , my network provider supports 850mhz .. i'm using i9000 modem , which doesn't support 850mhz hsdpa .. this could be it .. is there any way to check on which band i'm connected right now ?
EDIT: the answer is *#*#0011#*#* .. i'll check this out later when the scenario happens again, and i'll post results (i'm home now and i have full hsdpa signal here, so i cant investigate any further atm)

Force LTE?

So I'm in LA inside where I'm at i get three bars of LTE and full bars of 3G since the 3G is stronger it keeps me in 3G for the most part unless i do a profile update then it puts me at 4G for 5 minutes before kicking me back down. So the question is, is there a way to force LTE?

The bars do not represent EVDO (3G) or LTE (4G), they represent 1X Voice on the HTC One. If you want to know the actual signal strength of your 3G and 4G go to settings/About Phone/Network.
My guess is that the LTE is borderline in the building and therefore it goes back and forth. Where I work I have strong LTE and EVDO but when I'm in the building it will switch to 3G once I start using data like Youtube or something. Once I stop and set the phone down it will reconnect to LTE. If I go towards the outer part of the building I will get a better LTE connection, or if I go outside it is really good. This is due to the poor penetration of the 1900mhz LTE.

The phone will connect to the higher priority signal, first 4G and then 3G.
As said above, it seems like your LTE connection is very weak, or else the phone would stick to that.

Ok so i did *#*#4636#*#* and changed it from CDMA + LTE to LTE, CDMA and it hasn't dropped from 4G

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't that disable your ability to receive phone calls/texts?

If you set it to "LTE only" then yes but if you set it to "LTE,CDMA" it will only connect to LTE and 1XRTT and bypasses EVDO. So you phone should stay on 4G a lot more since EVDO is disabled but if LTE drops you will drop to 1X

Do I still get 3G if I do (did) this?
Assuming no.

Correct. Hence CDMA/LTE vs CDMA/EvDO/LTE. You can also do LTE only if you're feeling bold.

3G and 4G is not working

hello there, i m using t mobile note 4 in India . Phone is not rooted. The only problem i m facing that i can't use 3g and 4g services.please help..

I am using t-mobile Note 4 in India as well.. I can use 3g and 4g with no problems at all I can use 3g on Idea and 4g on reliance jio. Try selecting a specific 3g network manually like select Idea 3g instead of idea 2g. May be switch the band.
