Froyo: Only 3G and not HSDPA

How can i fix it?
The problem is present before flash nexus one.
I only can use Edge and 3G.
Thx

I'm having the same problem. It's not too big of a deal for me (3g is ok) but I def miss the speed of HSDPA.

How do you know it isn't using HSDPA? The stock rom never shows an H, it always stays at 3G even when it switches over when there is a data transfer.
I just looked around, but I can't remember where in the settings you can go to see if it is connecting at HSDPS. Maybe someone else can point you in the right direction.

I didn't know the stock rom didn't show it. So is the "H" icon like a cyan feature or what? I noticed a slight speed decrease too but people were saying in the dev section that going back to an older radio may solve the problem.

If you want to check the network type: *#*#4636#*#*
There should appear HSDPA.

i've tested with speedtest.net app. it's very slow!
the firmware 2.1 show 'H'... 2.2 must show too, if it's enabled

Stock 2.1 doesn't show 'H'. Only custom Roms.

Not that. There is a lot of info there. Check what says 'Network type:'

What if we edit the build.prop with the HSPA settings ? On froyo

it show me Network type: HSDPA but still very slow!

Well then you have HSDPA What's the speed from speedtest.net ?

down:28kb/s
up:82kb/s
before froyo:
down:2100kb/s
up:100kb/s

The new radio that comes with froyo has caused this for a few people and you can see your old speeds again if you flash an older radio (don't know if this is the only way) but an older radio will cause the camcorder to quit working on froyo.

That certainly is strange. I would advise to wait, maybe it is a temporary network problem. Try rebooting too if you hadn't. You don't have the ATT Nexus one version do you?

The stock ROM has never shown H, its always shown 3g only even when you have hsdpa. I've never rooted so trust me. But I still get fast speeds like 3 Mbps.

Maybe reselect your regional bands in the service menu under phone information. Are you in the USA?

Not on Froyo yet, but I always see "3G" here on my stock 2.1 ROM on AT&T.. Here's a result from earlier..

FRF72 and 3G

Hey,
I've recently upgraded to the new FRF72 firmware update and and for some reason I'm no longer able to use 3G. Whenever I uncheck 'Use 2G networks only' I loose connection to my network (Orange UK) and get the "Emergency Calls Only" message.
Can anyone help?
Regards,
Brent

Not sure, I know when I upgraded I got way better signal. Dont know if its coincidence or not, but Im also getting like twice the speeds. My latest speed test was 4.2 Mbps
Hope ya figure it out. Just saying its not a frf72 thing as my speeds fly

Try rebooting at least twice.
I've not noticed a difference.

I have a similar problem. 3G connection is now much worse, after upgrading I have noticed that the connection is now less sensitive and loses signal much easier, especially when holding the phone in in hand. Very bad update..

Well bugger me. After trying to fix this since FRF72 got leaked and I decided to punt it, I appear to have solved the issue.
For those who're suffering from the same problems; I remembered I've played around with Network Type in the hidden settings (dial *#*#4636#*#* then click Phone Info). I turned Ciphering off and set the Network Type to CDMA only rather than the default WCDMA preferred. I've now changed this back and things seem to be working.

my 3G speed is blazing now in Houston.
It's triple the speed of my work connection.

uk vodafone, 3g speed apparently increased.
I have literally just added the frf72 release, as I sit here.
I did test before upgrade and got 1555kbs
test after 2293kbs
not a controlled test as other apps could have been using the connection in the background, however, this is where I always sit and have never seen that high a result.
I am running stock, Froyo installed when first update.zip came out, and frf72 update.zip just applied now. otherwise nothing changed.

while we're on this speed subject is there any way to get EDGE any faster, where I live the providers only have EDGE unfortunately!

[Q] Intermittent Data Network after flashing rom

On stock 2.1, I get 3G practically everywhere I go, but when I flash a rom I always get the H or E symbol and sometimes it randomly goes dead even though I just had H or E in the exact same spot... What could I do to improve this?

H is another symbol for 3g lol ithink all builds have this

Tried JI6 - I'm using Serendipity 5.8 and it's the same. I get like 4 bars, then it jumps to 0 and randomly I have no connection. I forgot to note, it is for both Data and Voice networks...
If it helps, I'm in Orange County and when I do Speedtest my scores are abysmal on "H" I get 270KBPS down and 130 KBPS up.

The "H" is 3.5g a little faster than 3g. If it keeps alternating between "H" and "E", I would definitely consider flashing a new modem.

I've flashed 3. All of them do this. :/
Highest I've gotten on Speed test is with Jk4 and it was like 800kbps download... And it's usually around 200-300.

have you tried to disable HSPA? To do so, go to your dialer>type *#301279#
select [2] then select [1] . see it that helps
*edit* If that doesn't work, put the phone in airplane mode for a few minutes and re-enable.

Thanks man. Trying it now, will report back soon...
Still iffy... I dunno but I dropped my old phone in water with the SIM card. I got a new one, but could it be the SIM card that's damaged?

It very well could be the sim card.
Hope you get your phone working again!

Any ideas on how to get a new one? I don't want them to see the custom rom, but how could I tell them I'm gettin iffy service without showing up with my phone?

Signal strength issue

Hi,
I have 3g connection (airtel India) and has been adviced to use wcdma only. I observed that the network signal strenght is very low in one of the room in my house and data network also had dissapeared.
I changed the data network to wcdma/GSM mode and not only did the 'edge' connection pick up but also signal strength increased to 3 bars. I got full strength when I switched to gsm only mode.
Every time I switched to wcdma mode signal strength drops almost to zero. This doesn't happen @ my office where I get strong signal.
Is this a known issue or should I get my phone diagnosed?
I am using unrooted phone with latest stock rom ddlb2.

though i have not tested, but when > 1lac download and still 4.7 Ranking, might have something.

Hi Richy,
Thanks....but what I fail to understand is why there is change in signal strength when I change data network mode. See images..

Already Richy told you
At your Home 3G reception is poor, device gives priority to 3G, when it is available, N you have configure device mode to Auto, it try to join 3G network, when it fails it joint 2G network, as 2G reception to your home will be stonger.
There are different cell tower for 2G n 3G. N simply your home is in such area where 3G reception poor, 2G is strong.

Simply put it mate, you can't do anything on that anymore.. It is your carrier's (AIRTEL)'s downside on not delivering true 3G on your place.
The best thing you can do is to go somewhere else (apart from your home) where true 3G and signal strength is best and without any issue at all and try to connect to the internet.

Thanks to all....much relieved.
Infact I visited service center near my home today evening. Was difficult to explain to the front office girl that my phone had radio (antenna) issue, while the signal was showing all 4 bars lighted.
Came back dissapointed when I was told it may take minimum 3 hrs to run diagnostics ....I couldn't part my phone immediately, what with my corporate mail configured..
And posted this in XDA......

Dear Naveen,
Any update for your problem? The GT-N7000 bought by my dad last week also has reception issue, thought only in office! And he is on Vodafone. Just wanted to know if this is a generic issue or not. Again, it doesn't happen all the time, only when he is in office and certain times when he is on road.

No issues, understood it was weak 3G inside house. Now made it a practice to be on 2G always and switch to 3G only while browsing or streaming videos (watching IPL live).

Force LTE only without root access, Huawei P30 Pro

I would like my phone to always reconnect to the network once it looses LTE bandwidth.
The thing is that the provider gives me LTE for the first few minutes, but then reduces my speed to HSDPA
So what I need is an app that goes into the airplane mode for just one second and then reactivates the connection.
I found out that rooting my phone is impossible and all the apps that I tried do not work without root.
I downloaded about three different apps all claiming to provide a "Force LTE" experience.
Any suggestions on how I can achieve the goal of auto reconnecting to the network in case my bandwidth drops lower than LTE?
It wouldnt be an issue if I would be actively sitting on the phone, but I am using it as a hotspot with the phone at the window to have best connectivity.
Greetings from Venezuela!

It appears to me that the provider doesnt allow me to choose LTE only? Is that possible?

The method is very easy:
1. Use SIM 1 as the default connection setting
2.
You need to install this app for FREE
at Google Play
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teknokia.force4glteonly
pro version : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teknokia.force4glteonlypro
galaxy store: https://apps.samsung.com/appquery/appDetail.as?appId=com.teknokia.force4glteonly
pro version : https://apps.samsung.com/appquery/appDetail.as?appId=com.teknokia.force4glteonlypro
3. Run the application, press the SIM 1 only or Android testing button. You will enter two LTE Switcher options and also 2 Android testing options.
4. You can try all of them which support your phone.
If the telecommunication operator you are using does not support VoLTE (Voice over LTE) and uses LTE Only Mode, so regular calls will be blocked.
for complete detail with video. you must going to teknokia site
