Fed up while switching ON data.. :( - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What is the problem of Sony? Every time I tried to switch on the data, it never gets ON at the very first attempt.. Everytime I need to go to settings, and toggle between 2G/3G.. It is very annoying.. :'( this was the case with my arc as well so it is indeed Sony's problem.. I can see full range but cannot connect to data even after many attempts.. :'(
Plz don't give me answers that try updating/ repairing.. Already did that..

If it happened with your previous phone, how sure are you that it's the phone's problem itself and not your own mobile carrier's issue?
At my end, there is no such issue as you mentioned. When I toggle data, i get connected right away. No need to tinker with the 2G / 3G toggle unless I want to fall back to 2G mode to conserve battery.

Don't understand you.
You want to switch from 3g to 2g?
When you turn data on it automatically switch to the 3g. And you have lte version, then It should switch to lte. Depends on your settings actually.
If you want to stay on 2g
Go to dial pad and type *#*#4636#*#* then phone information and set from there.
If you want to switch between them then go play store and find an app. I am sure there's one.
Other than that I have no idea what you're talking about cause I've owned arc s, s, tx, t, zl, and now z. No issues at all. Either your apn settings are wrong or sth with your carrier.

You didn't understand.. Whenever I try to switch on the data, it never gets ON at the very first attempt(2G/3G).. I have to go to the settings and change the modes manually between GSM, WCDMA n then data is switched ON. Similar issue was there with Arc also..

Do you do FULL WIPES when you repair your phone?
Did you use sus? Sus is better than pcc.
Might be your apn settings? Check for the most updated apn settings for your carrier.
Last choice is flash a unbranded ftf file.
If that doesn't work, flash a rom or sth.

Try to switch your mobile network mode to "GSM only" and then back to "GSM/CDMA auto". Try rebooting your phone, clearing cache/dalvik or fixing permissions.
Also, as far as I know, some ROMs do not support auto switch between 3G and HSPA (3G icon is displayed all the time). Usually custom ROMs switch between H and 3G to save power (H is used only when bigger network traffic occurs, in order to speed up your download speed), but many ROMs do not have this feature.
Forcing 2g, rebooting, etc., doesnt worked. I know that H is used for big traffic, but ICS dont even want to enter it when i download 10mb+ files..
hey there
as u might have seen im on eplus too and i faced such an issue several times with different phones
what i figured out was that in some cm9 roms the mobile hotspot (dein zugangspunkt ist ja normalerweise glaub ich internet.eplus.de ) is not available or there are mistakes in it so just get to the eplus providers homepage and check if ure zugangspunktname and all the other options dealing with it are set right
hauste rein
Everything was ok, now i changed back to gigabread+ from texten...
HSDPA works fine, seems so that ics is blocking connection like divibyzero said.
ICS doesn't block it you probably need to set up your APN correctly which is what I think the guy before me was saying too

Hi there. I also own C6602 (13W07). I'm from europe (GSM 800/1800/etc.) and got the same problem.
Selecting the only option ("USA Band") in *#*#INFO#*#* switched off the ability to find network.
SIM contacts are still available. So sim card must not be dead.
Also had a side-effect: clicking on almost every application icon works after a long lag (or after a 10th click)
And as a side-effect-II: possibly disapeared ability to use built-in "CD-disk with Sony PC Companion Software" when connected to PC with USB cable
Restarting, changing band in other menus, Airplane on/off not helped a lot.
Have a guess that *MAGIC* hardreset will solve this but not tried 'cause i'm not syncronized yet
Haven't seen you for a while. Did you solve your problem?

[Q] 3G Data Issue

Hello,
I've read a dozen threads on this forum about this problem that I have, but I couldn't find anything that can fix it.
3 Weeks ago I bought a Samsung S Advance I9070, and everything worked fine till today.
The main problem is when I switch on the data network mode nothing happens, the data icon doesn't appear next to my signal bar ,as it once did and my internet doesn't work.
What I've tried so far:
Check apn settings;
Delete existing apn then manually insert them as my carrier asks.
Delete apn again and sent a free sms to carrier center and get a message with automatic settings,activating those settings.
Erased everything from my phone , factory reset, wipe cache, restore to a 3 days old backup (when everything was fine).
All of the above with no result.
The only thing that worked for me is the change I made in network mode -> i put gsm instead of gsm/wcdma, but from what i can figure this disables my 3g completely , leaving me only with an edge type of connection.This last change gave me acces to internet but only with an E icon(probably from edge, i have no real idea).
The phone has 2.3.6 Gingerbread , I haven't made any change of ROM, I only tried once to install JB through kies but the program failed and the update didn't even start.
I know it's a long post but, I'm kinda "scared" by the fact that I might need to return the phone.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks for your time!

Do you have ok network coverage for 3G? Maybe that could be a problem.

Well this problem appeared at home and until today I had 3g signal,it's kinda hard for me to believe that the entire 3G signal got lost in 1 day, but I will try it somewhere else and see if there's a difference, Thank you for your fast response.

Try flashing some other Roms like XXLQB/XXLQE.. You can search XDA for flashing roms..
Today I flashed a JB I9070XXLQE_I9070COALQ1 official firmware via odin.
At first I thought the problem solved, because I saw the H/3g icon next to the signal bar, but when I tried the internet ... i was disappointed.
I then reset to factory settings and cleared my cache like I read in some threads on this forum , and I got fresh apn from my carrier, but now when i activate the data network mode, the icon's missing again and ofc the internet doens't work.
Is it possible that the 3g is broken? even though i can use internet via edge?
Try selecting WCDMA mode only and see if u can get 3G signal...Else call customer care and ask them whether 3G is activated for ur number...
Any fix for this?

Unfortunately, no.
I've been using the GSM only option for the past days , until I have the time to take the phone to a service or smth.
A weird thing happens though, if I switch to gsm/wcdma and reboot the phone, in the first ~2 minutes after restarting I get 3g signal and I'm able to connect to the internet.(maybe the 3g service crashes ).
Probably before I take it to service I'll try and flash a new JB and do the apn trick once more, maybe this time I get lucky.

Phone repaired, now can't connect to 3g

Hey guys,
So i broke my Xperia Z (C6603) screen 2 weeks ago and just got it back from my insurance company a few days ago.
They somehow unlocked my unlockable bootloader and also sim unlocked the phone. I was not disappointed with this
But, i can't connect to any 3G networks since getting my phone. And since my provider only supplies 3G and not 2G, i'm screwed.
I've factory reset, flashed various stock roms, 244, 423 and also flashed CM10.1 and CM10.2. No luck! I figured one would have a baseband that worked properly?
Everything else works fine, wifi, calls, nfc etc. But when i go into *#*#4636#*#* and try to set the preferred network type, i can't select LTE etc, it just defaults back to WCDMA. Also i have no option for LTE in the mobile settings network type (i did previously). Only WCDMA only, GSM only or WCDMA (preferred)/GSM. The last one should work, but still can't connect to 3G networks. Every time i try, it tells me "could not connect to the selected network, check your sim, blah blah". But it connects to the 2G variant of that network just fine.
My APN settings are fine, as i copied them from my HTC One on the same network. And the imei isn't blocked according to my provider.
I have tried another sim and this sim in another phone, so there is nothing wrong with my sim cards. And i doubt there's anything wrong with the sim card slot, since 2G wouldn't even work then. I'm on Three UK and have phoned them for help, but they were useless and fobbed me off to my insurance company.
Any ideas? I'm pretty much out of them
The fact that they unlocked a locked bootloader and SIM unlocked the phone sounds a bit dodgy to me.
You could try downloading the APN settings, go to Settings>Xperia>Internet settings.

Yeah i was thinking that myself, and have read reports of them sending people replacement phones with blocked imei's etc (stolen phones).
Think i'll be sending it back to them. The internet settings didn't work, but thanks for the suggestion

How do you find your signal? Obviously having no 2G network is, in some cases, a disadvantage.
I only ask as on my HTC One S my signal was fine all the time, now with my Z I find my signal patchy and it takes a while to find any.
Oh and I wonder, does your My3 app work? Mines not working anymore, it always thinks I'm on wifi so won't open any payment pages.

My signal on the Z was always great when it worked. On my HTC One it's not so good. The three app won't work on my Z, since i obviously have no data connection at the minute. But i never had any issues with it.

How to force LTE only on my Huawei P9

hi, can any one help me to force my network preferred settings to LTE only? previously i have that menu or selectio on my preferred network settings but when I perform a factory reset that LTE only along with other options like Global are gone, and *#*#4646#*#* is not working on me.
thank you.
up.. please help
I also need this. Searched but couldnt any solution.
If you have VoLTE it's ok to force to 4G only, but if you don't, you won't be able to make calls, because the phone switches to 3G when voice calls are made.
We want to just force to 4g for internet speed. Not for calls. And we already aware of we cannot make call when we are using 4g only mod. But we dont know how to do it.

yes sir, im aware of it but I just want a fluid data speed and forcing it to LTE will be a massive improvement.
up..
You can't keep the phone for internet in 4G forced without affecting calls.
You have to select 4G/3G/2G and the phone will stay in 4G for internet and it will switch to 3G when making calls.
If you force it into 4G you won't be available for phone calls.

We aware. Any solution?
There are no any -native- solutions, because this is not a problem.
And if that will be possible; When you can not join to any LTE station, your mobile connectivity must be down. So you can select only priority of mobile data technology.
If the station is not allowed that (LTE) or not accept your request (join only LTE), you can not connect any station via forced LTE -if that's possible-.
This is not a problem, this is option. We need this option.
You can't activate this option in Normal Mode. Your phone needs to be rooted.
You can check some parameters in *#*#2846579#*#* but no phone manufacturer will enable 4G only in any menu (only maybe if it's a tablet with no voice calls).

hi mate, this is my scenario the day that I recieve the phone, there are a bunch of menu like "Global" including LTE only unfortunately for me when I conducted a factory reset that menu or selection is gone. but ill give it a try with your suggestion.
Hello, did you knew the solution? if u know let me know please am this problem too
need that too. it's possible with an app from playstore on Sony and Samsung devices (without root!) - but it doesnt work on huawei :/ ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tapbase.LTEswitcher&hl=de )
This option is here already and working perfectly in mine
Try toggle network from xda. This app working perfect for my p9. Regards.
