I bought a new samsung galaxy ace and it doesn't support the frequency of the 3G connection just 2G
Is there any way to fix this problem?

It also depends on coverage area, at some places 3g doesn't work.
And might be sure if you have selected only 2g option from network settings.

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

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.
Dear xda members,I love xda and I recently had purchased airtel 3g connection.
First I had issue connecting to 3g network.somehow I set the network to wcdma only and then dialed *#*#4636#*#* and set to wcdma only,there was still no network,then I turn of the radio and wow I had 3g signal and it was working fast.
But this morning when I woke up,my phone was in emergency signal mode.I tried the above steps but no success.
Anyone having same issue or know what's wrong with this.please share below.
Same issue in my nexus s with this airtel sim.

1. Set it on auto mode so in case you do not have signal on WCDMA it will switch to 2G
2. Also remember to add in apn settings for 3G data

The above mentioned problem is ter in Airtel. Because 2G data pack customers are getting 3G speed too. Am in 2G Data plan and i get most of the times 3G Speed. They are working on it.
Just check out your SIM with other device, whether it having same behaviour or not? if yes call operator for same.
Once go to setting - wireless n network - mobile network - network operator - search n w8, when display all, select AIRTEL not airtel (capital letter)

then you have to contact airtel, 1 posibility is there, may b your place have poor 3g coverage, so when it drops, it may get connected to 2G, which may be have good coverage at your place, Have you mark this happens to perticular place?

regarding the 10gb pack. you actually get only 5gb free. after that you're charged 3p/10kb for the remaining 5gb (upto a max shield of Rs.5000). after you reach this 5000 rupee mark which you will after usage of around 1.6gb, you will be pushed to an unlimited plan with a speed of just 20Kbps. there's no way to touch 10gb with such low speed. this is what is happening in bangalore. just correct me if i'm wrong.

your balance is just over 1gb. i guess your speed must be 20Kbps now..

I have recharged 10 GB airtel package for 1250 rupees and as I said it worked fine for one day in 3g speed but now it is slow as snail.slow both on my nexus a and galaxy note.
My reliance 3g sim is working fast now.
Went to airtel office for sim replacement and hope the issue will be resolved.

I've just recently acquired an I9305 in the UK. I'm on giffgaff.
It appears there are only 2 allowable modes for the mobile radio, 2G/3G/4G Auto mode, or 3G Only.
Has anyone figured out how to put it into 2G only mode?
Paul
The Australian version has options for 2g only, 3g only or auto. Only option it doesn't have is 4g only. Not sure why the UK version doesn't have the same options.

NatTheCat,
Which network are you on and are you running the stock ROM? I'm on giffgaff (O2), and there is no option for "use only 2gnetworks". I'm also using the stock ROM.

the last ppl to reply dont seem to give the proper info, Yes you can put it in 2G mode only and the way to do it is put it in GSM Only Mode....
GSM = 2G
WCDMA = 3G
LTE = 4G
Settings>More settings>Mobile Networks>Network Mode> GSM ONLY

Pretty sure the OP says he only has 2 options - all or 3G only.
Yeh I just read that lool whoops... i read the last reply and commented in regards to that info and just made sure the correct words were used in the settings options because OP said there is no option for 2G mode and infact he is right it says GSM mode instead of 2G..... 3G 4G 2G are not used for the abbreviations...
To the OP this is Very strange to have those options only , it has to be your Carrier which modified the rom for their network, but why wouldnt they want you on the 2G mode? are you sure they have those bands open maybe they are going to shut down the 2G bands down soon and are prepared lol Who knows ... I am confused on this one sorry bro
Possible option is to flash an Aus rom or some other European one.

Yea it's weird. It was from Orange originally, I then unlocked it and have moved to giffgaff.
Anyone else out there with Orange/EE can confirm only 3G, and 2G/3G/4G Auto network options?
I can confirm that those are the only options on an Orange lte in the UK.

Well that stinks. One good reason to flash a different ROM.

Hi,
How to disable LTE ? I mean I want edge and WCDMA enabled, but simply disable the LTE chip/module ?
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
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
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.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
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)

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.

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)
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.
Check the network coverage in your area
