[Q] 3G not working - HTC Incredible S

Hey guys. I just activated 3G today and got a confirmation from my service provider( Vodafone India) that my data plan is active. When i select mobile network i get the H symbol(HSDPA/HSUPA) along with the arrows next to my signal meter. Although there is a lot of flashing going on with the arrows the net still doesn't work. Any idea why??

You may need to go into Settings -> Wireless & Networking and check the APN settings.

Thanks a loT!! I had to change the setting from Vodafone Live to Vodafone Mobile Connect. But now i seem to have a new problem. I keep losing the normal phone signal completely at times and have to switch to and back from aeroplane mode or restart the phone to get the signal again. This is the first time this is happening. Any idea why? And this is happening at home where i used to get all the bars( Till 3G started working) Thanks in Advance

Reception full but still not receiving calls!!!

Like the title says... I have full reception but many people have told me that when they call its like my phone is off!! I just tested it and its true.
Wondering if anyone else having this problem... Is this a radio ROM problem...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
what type of connection you have ?
Would be good to know if you could use 3G and what kind of radio / os rom you are using. Personally I had the same problem, but could fix it by using just GSM (phone settings) and/or using a newer rom.
re
Hi,
I have the exact same ROM, Radio and protocol version as you... I have just switched it to GSM only in the phone setting, I hope this works!!
I had the same problem... i noticed it was ok when i switched over to 2G... Spoke to T-mobile and they said it was the 3G receptions... they told me to keep it on 2g (unless i wanna do data) for the moment until they can improve the network...
sorry if im being silly here, but how do you switch it yo 2g? used to be in the comm manager on my hermes?
start -> settings -> phone -> band -> network type = GSM

top man , now just waiting for the day custom comm managers are available
this is absolutely ridiculous,
i get this problem too
i cant tell in advance whether this fauilt is going to affect me,
i need my phone to ring when people call me!
what am i supposed to do, go through this huge palaver of switching to gsm whenever i finish doing any data work?
wtf?!!!
If your phone is transmitting data and you are not in 3G then they will get your voicemail when they call.
3G allows for both voice and data at the same time, older methods do not. Try using Band Switch or some program like that to close down your data connections when they aren't in use.

Getting tired of this, please help on 3g :(

Did you go into comm manager to make sure 3G is turned on? It appears you are using Dutty's rom, and as such should have posted this question in there. Anyone who could help you would have seen it in there. and then we wouldn't be frustrated that you created a new thread for this. Which is against the SOP around here.
YEs the 3G is turned ON, and i'm using Duttys rom! :/
Can someone help-me? I have searched a bit and dont have found anything

Well i'm not sure what else would cause you not to get 3G, except maybe a hardware defect, if you changed the band, or perhaps there is no 3G in your area.
To answer your question, if it stays 3G for a couple seconds and goes to G that definately means you DON'T have 3G in your area.

Yeah i haved just thinked on it :/ Its badly
Well i will go to my network providor, to see if they resolve my problem!
Thanks for your time, i will report some news soon
When 3G was first set up in the country where I live, something like that would happen. It seemed to be the network not letting me roam into it because I had a GSM pre-3G SIM card. The problem solved itself when the network provider offically "turned on" it's 3G service. So I believe you might be experiencing a network related problem. Even if there is 3G coverage, your GSM account might not be eligible for 3G service or you might need a newer SIM card.

No 3G since FRF83

Any solution?
Only GPRS/EDGE does work, if 3G is available, it disconnects automatically until 3G isn't available.
Solution: Set to 2G-Only :-(
Anyone has the same problem?
I didn't have this problem with FRF 72.
Provider: Sunrise Switzerland
Radio: 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.12_7
Have you tried going into your phone settings from *#*#4636#*#* and setting it to wcdma only? I did that on mine not too long ago and no more dropping to edge for me!

does it lose complete signal? or does it show 3g still but just not doing anything?
Mine was working at first after flash. Then at about 2am it just kept trying to load then times out. Still shows 3g but just dont do anything. Im hoping its just tmobile messing with their towers... I dont see why it would work at first then not now..
The problem is, that i can only have a internet connection, when the phone is logged in into a gsm or edge network.
as soon as wcdma is available, the phone disconnects from the internet.
the signal is always available, but it looses the internet connection when it changes to 3G mode.
when the phone changes from 2G->3G mode, i see for 1s the 3G icon and then no icon will bi there.
when it changes back from 3G->2G, the EDGE/GPRS icon is visible again.

ok thanks for clarification. My problem is different. I think related to phone company.. I still show the 3g signal and even have bars, but the pages dont load and eventually gives me the check your service and try again alert....
So Im hoping soon its working again for me... And I hope you as well figure it out.....
Thank you Good luck!
Had the same issue after update, did *#*#4636#*#* and noticed I was set to GSM only. Set it to WCDMA preferred and now it's good.
Thank you very much, thats the solution!!

Thank you. Updated to FRF83 this morning and I've had a full 3g signal, just couldn't pull data all day. Could over edge. Sure enough, GSM only was selected.
AT&T N1.
I'm having the same issue on a non-rooted phone on T-Mobile. No 3G after the FRF83 update. Full bars of service and 3G displayed in the status bar. Dropping to Edge only works but there is no data with 3G.

Same issue here.
Switching to WCDMA preferred doesn't work for me though.....any help is welcome
I think it's a hardware problem with a lot of N1's.
Mine was ok the first 2 months, and later, 3g not working. This is driving me crazy ):
I have tried everything. Change the simcard, I did a reset of the data with my telcon, and nothing happens.
I've seen these problems on many N1's.
I hope google / htc release a fix for this problem.

how bout checking your bands in the service menu. so *#*#4636#*#* -> phone info -> press the menu key for more options -> select bands -> choose one appropriate for your region (ie "USA BANDS").
If all else fails do a factory reset by going to the settings -> privacy -> restore factory defaults.. of course do a backup/sync/whatever before just to make sure you can get all your apps back.
There's other ways to do a factory reset via the bootloader .. its under recovery and you press up volume or the trackball I think and you can just select all the clear/erase settings there and that should clear out everything on the phone's internal storage.
The factory reset worked for me (via bootloader) when I upped from update-1 to FRF50 and didn't have any data icon next to my signal strength. Could call out but couldn't get data.
Hope that helps.

Check your APN settings. Do a full factory reset from the bootloader. If nothing works you should call tech support again. Most 3g issues where you have issues with connecting are service/signal level related. I *****ed early about my 3g issues on tmobile and it was the network as they've pretty much gone away with improving the backhaul in my area for HSDPA+ or updates to the phone's radio.
HTC is really really really cool about swapping phones and repairing them. If you feel you have a nexus that has hardware issues call them. I did this 3 times already (one time for minor cosmetic issues with the refurb they sent) and I couldn't be happier about how willing they were to replace/repair the phone. It turns out I really didn't have any issues with them at all.. with any issues with hardware from the second refurbished phone. It was service or software related and I'm happy to say with updates/tmobile service improvements I couldn't be happier with this phone.

Thanks blisk, but the thing I don't understand is why Blackberry 9700 with T-Mobile bands, doesn't have problems at all ?
By the way, I rooted my phone , so the thing with the warranty it's complicated
I had it happen last night at work all night, but when i got home i checked my wife's tp2 and it also was doing the same thing so for levity wasn't the phone but tmobile. They started worming the same time also.... I think its tmobile.
Hello, I had the same problem with my imported n1. I'm using the tmobile version non rooted fully stock manually updated to frf83. I did a *#*#4636#*#* and selected wcdma only, rebooted and couldn't connect to my gsm network. Went in again and did a wcdma preferred, rebooted, and I works better, still changes fast to edge and G, but less often, I'm still trying it but I have high hopes its gonna be ok
Mmmm i did have problems with 3G too after pushing FRF83, but i found out that for some reason the APN settings weren't set correctly after the update. In my case the port setting after the proxy of the APN wasn't set, i changed to the correct value and it worked.
In conclusion, check your APN settings.
Just went from FRF72 to FRF83 and it's working fine.
I'm currently set to GSM auto (PRL) in the *#*#4636#*#* and I didn't change it to that after putting on FRF83.

After updating to Gingerbread, the signal bar goes from full to nothing.

In settings, about device, wjat is your baseband? The last three characters should be JK3.
Did you flash the correct modem.bin?
Did you insert your sim correctly?
Did you check your apn setting ( settings, wireless settings, mobile network, apn)?

Let the phone settle, I had similar issues when I first started the phone up. I suggest reboot, then select you provider again, under settings, more just below data usage,, then mobile networks. Ensure mobile data traffic is ticked, remove the tick and add it again, you should get a prompt message, if you see an error, then you should go down to network operators and reselect BELL, and try again.
