I just got a Note for my Dad and noticed that it does not get 3g network while in roaming. Even if I manually set network to WCDMA it shows only emergency calls.
The same card if I put in my Nokia X6 it shows 3.5g with full network and the internet speed also is blazing fast.
PS: When I search for network with WCDMA selected it doesn't show my provider. Also I inserted the same sim on my Galaxy S2 and have the same issue no 3g network. My dad is so disappointed with the Note and said Nokia is the best
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!!
Replace SIM, I can't explain you logic, it just based on someone's expirence i have read smwhr.

It is already checked.
Well I have figured out what the problem is. NO matter what sim I use when i set the phone to WCDMA and search for network it does not show bsnl network buts shows all network(Vodafone, IDEA etc). There is strong 3g bsnl network in my area and it shows on other phone. IS samsung unable to catch bsnl 3g network? THe saem problem is with my S2.
Thanks!!

Hey people.
Had a question for the smart people that live here.
When I am at home on the couch or downstairs in the computer room.i have very low signal or no signal. If I restart my phone I can see the signal bars go from full to none. My phone picks up a faint signal from hspa network (bell network) and keeps going from 3G to hspa. Before I had the galaxy s I had the touch pro on just the 3G network and did not have problems like this.
Does anyone know of a way that I could lock the galaxy s into the 3G network? I tried going to settings» network» mobile network and selecting one of the bell networks but gives me the error that i am not allowed to select the network, it will automatically choose it for me.
Running eclair,UGJH2
Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm looking for a method that will allow me to manually select what sort of mobile internet to use (LTE, HSPA+, EDGE).
This is for two reasons mainly:
1)Better battery life on 3G vs LTE
2)With a data cap I'd rather have lower speeds where I can control data usage better
3)All 4.2 ROMS do not show the mobile signal strength indicator on LTE but does show up for HSPA+ etc
I have tried several methods shown in various forums but to no avail. Also even unselecting 'automatic' and manually registering 3G under 'network operators' does not seem to fix this.
I am using T-Mobile in an LTE area.
Thanks

Dial *#*#4636#*#* and you can choose network options.... If you are on stock att or bell it will not work and you should download an app called network which also does the same...

Also, *#*#4636#*#* works on Mexican Retail (confirmed). And this fixes the problem for network signal indicator (not for LTE though)

I have tried but everytime I click on lte or any other network it automatically flips right back to WCDMA.
Hi All,
Got a new xperia Z1 c6906, setup all things, did input correct APN, chose LTE in the mobile setting. But it couldn't get LTE connection, it always go back down to H+ / 3G, always switch between H+ and 3G. just wondering if the baseband problem? or I have to call Fido and ask them to register my IMEI to their LTE network if the phone couldn't do it itself? thx so much anybody can help.
p.s. previously using Samsung SIII, using LTE sim card and sure in LTE area since I didn't move.
*#*#7378423#*#* to check what LTE bands you have.
BTW, you should post this on Z1 forum.

I have updated from .230 firmware to .283 via Ota and root is preserved but after the update my phonr cannot detect 3g networks. Before it was fine. Does this happened to any one else?

Can't detect or detects but doesn't connect?
Check the APN list, you might need to select / reselect / add APN.
It doesn't detect any 3g network at all 2g is fine and I am in area where multiple 3g networks are available. BTW I am from India and in .230 firmware it was all fine.

Like genieass said It might be network related. I only offer a suggestion.
Did you try Settings > Wireless and Networks > Tap "More" > Internet Settings? Just tap it and wait a few seconds
The phone cannot detect 3g networks. 2g is fine 2g data is fine. But when I switch to wcdma or GSM/wcdma on network mode it cannot detect 3g networks at all. It just shows no network even though 3g is available. Trying manual searching for 3g networks is also showing no 3g networks.
Sent from my C5502 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I am speaking of data. If you are talking about proper 3g, I might have misled you. You seem to be looking for 3g calls etc? if so, pl ignore me.
My connection is 2g, data is 3g. I am on H+ most times. Firmware updates are faster OTA, 3G than wifi. Which connects thru a 512 mbps dataone adsl line.

The phone simply cannot detect 3g networks. The data part and Internet settings comes after the phone detects 3g networks. So no its cannot be done. When I am on wcdma only setting the phone doesn't show network ie I am on emergency mode. If I try manual searching of networks it doesnot show any 3g network even though I am in a coverage area with multiple 3g networks.

Open up dialpad and type in " *#*#4636#*#* ". Inside "phone settings" you might be able to adjust to some options which might work.
Restart your phone and confirm that the modification has been lost.
Unfortunately it is reset every bootup. So you might want to fallback to 4.4.2 (hack, or 4.3) and wait for solution from Sony.
Post the result of this to Sony Mobile Official Forum might help. Anyways, please report back after trying each option.:good:
After my update to 4.4.4, I lost the ability to access the Internet over my mobile network. I had full signal and even hdpda/hspda+ sometimes but no Internet at all. I realize its not the exact same issue but they might be related. I found out that my APN had been changed when I updated, so I hit settings>more>Internet settings and it fixed the problem. It didnt need to be connected to the Internet to do it either, it just worked on the same network connection that wasnt giving Internet. Hopefully this works for you too, since this caused me endless headaches when it happened.

Yeah but for me no signal when in WCDMA mode just shows emergency mode but when i switch to gsm mode it shows full signal. My APN are automatically downloaded every time i insert my sim card in the phone so APNs are fine asthey are auto downloaded on 2g. But no 3g signal even in full signal strength area. Seems like I have to do repair by PCC which i am trying to avoid as my internet connection is slow. I'll post if the repair is helpful. I was just trying to know if anyone else have the same problem or not.

If all suggestions here failed, then I am quite certain that either your network provider has a problem or your phone has a FW issue. Provided that you dd not fall the phone carelessly and damaged the modem, i would recommend you go search on google for this issue with your network provider on the search keywords. If no luck, Just downgrade to 4.4.2, then report to Sony as a bug.
Anyways, Good Luck

i change my networks all the time, without issue. if i put lte only, i get lte only. but cant make phone calls on it, so i use lte/gsm. if you dont have an lte signal, it will not connect to lte only.

T-Mobile. Let the device sit overnight and it got LTE back. So it seems either the LTE radio in this device is terrible compared to my Note 3, or it just won't attempt to get back onto LTE all that often. Or my Devices LTE radio is messed up.

Telus Canada. XT1103.
Mine would stay on H+ after a call for a long time. I sometimes "force" it to connect to LTE by toggling cellular data and off in settings. Or a reboot.
Have tried the *#*#4636#*#* menu to change to "LTE only", but won't even connect to LTE in this case.
This feels like a software issue. Clearly it's not a network or hardware issue, since it can connect to LTE.

if its not connecting to lte when you set it to lte only, then you either dont have lte around when you set it or its an extremely weak signal.

Unfortunately, it depends a lot on where you are. The office building that I am in is very bad for LTE, signal at my desk is -100dbm, if I go outside it switches up to around -60 to -70dbm. If I choose 3G as the preferred network, sitting in exactly the same location the signal goes to -75dbm 19 au. If I am at my apartment, the LTE signal is much stronger there. This of course effects the battery life also. I am not sure if there is a way to default which LTE band is used since I think Telus only uses band 4 for LTE but I am not familiar with how the phone determines which band to use or if it keeps scanning all of them.

No, where I was testing it, LTE was strong. I also had a Nexus 5 right beside it, and it had no problem acquiring a full signal.
With the Nexus 6, after a reboot or the data toggle, it acquired LTE, again almost full signal.
So I decided to just leave it alone and use it as normal without worrying about LTE or H+. I did not toggle data or reboot, just leave it as is. I just observe. After a few days, it seems better in that it will be connect to LTE a short while after a call, and behaves like how I expected it to like on the Nexus 5.
Of course, immediately after a call, it will stay on H+. If I really wanted LTE right then, I just toggle the data on/off from settings (not by setting to "LTE only" in *#*#4636#*#* menu).
