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

Read the modem thread. Try different modems.
Is there anyway I can switch to a server that's in chicago or something?

what server are you talking about? for the speed test app? theres an option on the 2nd tab to switch it to something else.

Yeah, change your modem around a bit... And also check your APN list.

Do you have wcdma 1900 band disabled?

How would I do that?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Not sure if you did this but when you switch your modem you have to change the WCDMA from 1900 to 850. All I9000 modems default to WCDMA 1900.
Taken from Devz3r0 Q4 and Q1 2011 Modems thread
Steps to do this
1.) Dial *#2263#
2.) From the "BAND SELECTION" Menu select "[2] WCDMA BAND"
3.) From the "WCDMA BAND" menu select "[5] WCDMA 850 (FDD V)"
4.) Exit out of menu and check to make sure your band is now WCDMA 850 using code *#0011#
Give that a try and see if it affects your connection at all. ATT only supports WDCMA 850. I had the problem with my phone having 50% time without signal and that fixed it.
Good luck

Try going to stock froyo and see if that helps?

That's weird - I'm on AT&T and I switched it to use the 850 band exclusively and suddenly got no service. This is in Grand Rapids, MI. When I check the GSM status it says its hooked into 1900 band WCDMA. So is something weird with my phone then?
Hey goob, check this out: http://www.wireless.att.com/coverageviewer/
If you're in a really coverage area marked as "best" (which is a joke at best sometimes) go back to straight stock froyo for a bit and see if your data speeds increase. If not, call up AT&T and start *****ing at them and tell them about your location and what it says on the coverage map. I'm sure that as long as your a customer in good standing, they'll do something about it. They always do for me.

I mean it might just end up being a credit towards your account or something, but at least they know of the issue.
Hi guys, need your help please!
Like subject, I've flashed it, (no problems by this) and then verify the correct setup of APN values. But the Tab now goes only on "H" connection, no 3G
Someone have the same problem?
Thanks a lot
H is better than 3g. .if ypu are getting those speeds . . Or just could be a icon change

hehe H is good nothing to worry about. It's faster than 3G. Looks like something was probably not right before you upgraded.

Yes, as these other guys are saying "h" is 3g

The tab is branded by Orange, so maybe this is the reason? Now at startup I've the classic logo Samsung.
But if H is better than 3G, thanks to Gingerbread! :-D

HSDPA - high-speed downlink packet access, its an enhanced 3G connection or at times referred to as 3.5G...
Flashed TMobile Tablet no 3g
I flashed my TMobile branded tab no problem there. Now I only get EDGE. Please advise what I can do. Read somewhere problem is no 3g + phone. I'd like to eliminate phone which showed up after I flashed and just go back to 3g + wifi and no phone option
You will have to go to the modem thread - its a stickie - and get the T-mobile modem. It will give 3G data and no voice. Flash with Odin in the phone button/line.
Thanks
Ranger Captain your tip helped me resolve my problem. My tablet now runs on 3g/4g.
Glad for that! Enjoy.
The best cellular speed the tab is capable of is 3G on a good tower.
So with my stock modem, i was getting 4G, but i kept getting dropouts making me have to turn on airplane mode and turn back off to get signal, and after changing my modem, im not getting that issue, but it just stays on H+ and not 4G.. Now in my house i would get full 4G coverage, so i know its not becuase i have no 4G coverage... Is there anything i can do that makes LTE the main signal, being toggled from an app or something like that?
Thanks

4g isn't activated on all Optus plans. So unless you have it on yours you won't get it automatically. Having said that I used to be able to get 4g on Optus using a Telstra modem. That doesn't seem to work anymore. Maybe they caught onto me

Im not the one to ask really cuz im on a business plan which doesnt give me 4g. Saying that for ages I was using a Telstra modem DVALI5 and I pretty much got 4g all the time. If I put an optus one I'd get no 4G. But thats what you get when 4g isnt enabled on your plan I guess. It doesnt seem to work for me anymore. No more 4g
*Edit* As I said that I just got 4G again. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010116 - That post has a whole heap of modems you could try

I have found something that has worked for me. If you go into more settings, mobile networks, network operator and manually select Optus when it comes up I'm the list. I've tried this twice now and both times it's connected straight to 4g

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.
This is an ongoing gripe of mine. I'm wondering if it's just me or if other people have this problem. When I'm on 4g it intermittently turns off data for a few seconds. The 4g icon goes away and comes back a few seconds later interrupting my connection. Only happens on 4g. If I set the mobile network to just 2g or 3g I don't have this problem. I've tried lots of different modems. So I'm wondering if it's an Optus thing or an issue with my phone? ?

probably poor coverage of 4G network
Why 4G when 3G is enough for watching video etc etc?
And it drain more battery also

I'm literally right next to a big city. Its not a coverage thing. If I have a 4g phone why not use it. I get about 24 hours of battery life from it so that's not an issue
