Well, in the city I live the 3G+ signal is very poor, while my 3G (HSDPA) runs flawlessly (1mbps stable connection, what is pretty rare to find here in Brazil).
The problem comes when my cellphone keeps connecting to 3G+ towers and I just couldn't find how to keep HSDPA only.
Looking for some help, 'cause I know some samsung devices got a hidden dial number to set only hspa hsupa hsdpa hspa+ etc and razr i doesn't.
Thanks in advance
Hello Henrique. Only for curiousity. Which operator are you using in Brasil? I am in Brasil too and o'm using Tim bit i never reach 1mb.

I'm using TIM at the moment. My plan is what they call as "TIM Beta Teste" and I'm able to reach 1.2Mbps sometimes w/o data limits neither speed limits.
here it goes some speedtest
btw, i think i've managed to get into this menu by dialing to #073887*. the only problem is that it asks me for a "SIM network unlock PIN", and i've been trying many things since then and i can't get it to work.

Im on t-mobile and for some reason i never ever get edge, even if on 2G only. Only ever receive GPRS which is so slow... Help would be great thanks.
Anybody?

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.

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)

Open dialer *#*#2263#*#*
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.

it won't stick.. but anyway, i guess this is the opposite of what i want (i want H preferred over E) , or am i mistaken ?

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)
Hi, I have the i8190L and i'm on a t-mobile network. I'm not sure if its only me or is it for everyone, but I lose connection to the T-Mobile network ALOT. Like sometimes i drop to 2g Alot! I'm not sure if it's the baseband or not but yeah. Is there any way to fix this?
Which area are you from and does it only happen at that specific spot or everywhere you go?

What do you mean which area am i from? It's everywhere I go, but when I tether for hours, it doesn't disconnect or anything at home, but when i go around it disconnects and makes me select the t-mobile network again.
bump ;/ this still happens to me.
The 8190L has a baseband of 850 while the 8180 is 900 tmo uses the 900 Prob that's why

So im on tmobile for a week now and my signal runs from 1-2 bars (3 if im lucky for some reason) and im on LTE right now but somtimes im on G, E and H even if im outside. I checked Tmobiles coverage on their website and i saw that im in a place where the signal should be "Excellent".
Is there i need to configure on my z1 to get that "excellent" signal or its on them?
I live in Reno NV if u want to see the coverage

I've been reading threads on several devices about Tmobile's speed and signal strength all day because I want to switch to Tmobile but don't know which device to use.but from what I can tell there are 2 different APN settings you can use and several different settings you have to enable/disable to get the right combination to get the optimal speeds and signal strength. But, one of the more puzzling things is that the type of SIM card you use also makes a difference....such as, if it was cut down from a regular SIM (weak) or if its a "prepay unlimited" SIM or just "unlimited" (the latter is better). Thats all I can deduce so far so you may want to look on xda at other devices and how they perform on Tmobile..

Sometimes T-Mobile has some network problems. I remember weeks ago that the whole network in my city crashed. You should try to call their support first and ask them if they currently have problems with their network.
