Hi, I have problems with my mobile data connection. It shows 3G or even H connection but it is very slow.I tested the speed with an app and I get max 192kilo bits per second with H and E connection.
I use on my I9001 SlimBean 4.2.2 build 7.8 with Kernel 3.0.89-K^Kernel JB4.2.2 OV UV 360.
I tried three different Basebands XXKQP, XXKP4 and XXKPM.
I'm in the US and my cell phone provider is simplemobile which uses the T-Mobile network.
I use theAPN settings which my cell phone provider suggests.
At the beginning I used my phone with the stock rom 2.3.6 and evything was fine.
After flashing to custom rom I got this issues.
Have anybody an idea how I can fix the problem?
maybe flash a different modem see if that helps
I thought base and is the modem driver? Are there More basebands then in the i9001 wiki page?

Try XXKPO-Baseband. It works fine for me. If that doesn't help, your provider could also be the problem. Can you take the sim-card of a friend or family member who has an other provider than you and try if this solves your problem?

I tried XXKPO-Baseband but the fastest download was 120 kilo bits per second even with 3G.
The thing is, everything was fine before I flashed to the custom rom.
I will try a stock rom and will report if I fixed my issue.
Have you tested an other custom ROM, for example CM? Maybe it is a prob of SlimBean ==> have you written this problem in the development-thread?

Depending on your area, built up? middle of nowhere?
These are things you need to tell people
Try any of these 2 : ZSJPG or BUJP5
I use ZS as I stay in the UK and gives excellent battery as well as signal strength
Hope it helps :laugh:
I tried also liquid smooth and a stock rom. But the data connection is still slow.
I tried a t-mobile prepaid card which uses the same network as simplemobile and I got 3500 kbits.
So called my provider three times but they could fix the problem.
The last guy told me that my phone won`t work with simple mobile. But it worked with 3G and H in the past ...
And every time I test my speed it has 120 kbits. Seems to me they throttled my speed.
Where can I get ZSJPG or BUJP5?
Maybe a stupid question:
Is your Internet data consumed and your Internet is because of this throttled...???
OK, before trying these modems are your APN settings set up correctly for your network provider?
LINK TO MODEMS HERE
OK, I called the support service line three times.
Yes, my APN settings are correct. My plan has 500 MB 4G then "only" 3G but "unlimited" what ever that means!
I think the best way is to change the provider ...
Or trying another modem first only AS a test...
The idea the others had...

before I got my phone I read about all the 3G problems people were having.
when I first got my nexus, there were no issues at all. no dropped service or connection.
I'm in a 3G area (looked at tmobile coverage map) and I see no reason for this to be happening.
my phone will show that I have 3G connection (UMTS) but when trying to use anything that requires a connection, it fails.
on the other hand, HSDPA network works fine and so does EDGE.
I got my phone over a month ago and this hasn't started happening until recently.
I'm always on EDGE network now and if I'm not on EDGE, I have to be on HSDPA in order for me a to send messages or use data connection.
UMTS is broken and does not give connection. I want to call HTC and see if they can replace it but I don't think they'd do it.
anyone else have the 3G problem? I'm sure a lot do, but is it only with UMTS?
This is not the "3g issue" everyone talks about. This sounds like you are either having network issues in your area, or did you flash a new ROM to your phone recently?

I had been on a CM test build and hadn't flashed a rom in a long time.
network issues isn't the problem because my friends G1 yesterday had 3G and I had EDGE.
I don't think it's my SIM card either, not even two years old.
I'm tempted to call HTC because this happened out of nowhere after a good month of no problems.
99% of the time it's a carrier issue.
When the number of users on a carrier grows or jumps on the carrier, the tower signal shrinks it's radius. And if you're in two competing tower areas, then your signal might drop/fluctuate because the phone is swapping between them.
Nothing the phone can do about it. It's probably your carrier issue.
how can that be when my friends right next to me have full bars and 3G while I'm on edge?

Change your settings to WCDMA only then.
I've tried and all I get is no connection or occasionally hsdpa.

I have experienced something like this. I am unrooted and few weeks after having the phone I would see a 3g symbol but be unable to access any data. It has been very frustrating once but generally it kicks in again with a reboot.
A similar issue since installing froyo is that the stock browser wouldn't connect. Other browsers and applications could access data but the stock browser couldn't. It started again later but I now use xscope.
I love android but I hope that the continue to work on its stability because it could be improved

so is your 3G working now? I'm just going to call HTC and see what happens.
I've tried WCDMA only, flashing a radio, and anything I can find on the web but no luck.

hello every body
i have this problem with my nexus one when i am connected to 3g service (umts,hsdpa,Etc'). i can't make calls or receive any calls, i can't use the internet (data) or get sms and Etc'. but i have full bars reception. when i check the vi in setting to "use only 2g" the phone work great.
i tried everything downgrade/upgrade roms,radios. i tried to go back to my first backup and even do PASSIMG but nothing help i googled it every where but nothing
please some one can help???
without 3g the smartphone is useless
thanks,
shushkis
What network you on? I would at least see how old the sim card is.
Lots of time if you have an older sim card it just can't handle a newer system.
I am connected through Orange IL
and i tried switching sims even with other networks.
and more the phone worked fine at the beginning it just happened i remember i switch to one of CY roms and it happened
Have you tried a full wipe and reinstall the rom?
yes of course i tried customized roms and stock roms but nothing helped
I would check your apn settings...
apn connected to taking or getting calls?
i thought it's just for internet connection
Its just a guess.
If its a problem on multiple ROMs, its likely to be either hardware or settings. Settings are cheaper and easier to test, and that's the only setting I can think of...?
Of course, doing a full wipe (including system), installing a new ROM, and testing before you restore any apps and settings may be another way to test, but since the apn settings are pre-baked into most ROMs, it wouldn't rule our the apn...?
OK I tried to put apn settings and it didnt help
you say hardware?
but when I check in settings "use only 2g" the transceiver works great .
maybe the nexus have two transceiver one for 2g and one for 3g?
seems un-logical
No there are two radios one for 3g and one for 2g because 2g is for calls and 3g for data but when 3G is unavailable the phone will use the 2g for the data.
The Same Trouble
shushkis,
I have the same trouble, my 3G connection works so bad, but if I use only 2g connection, all works good... I have no idea what happend with my N1. I have a N1 for 3G 850 (AT&T) model.
Thanks for advantage.
So maybe the problem is the hardware? if the N1 have two inidvidul transcivers?
I have also the same problem. I've tried many different roms and radios. I use 900/2100 3G. What's strang is that 3G works perfectly at home, but when moving to another tower I get emergency calls only warning. 2g works fine.
I just started having 3G issues at home. With 3G on the phone reboots like once an hour, but on 2G I've gone days without a reboot. My 3G signal is not the best at home, but I don't know why that would make the phone reboot. I'm on T-Mo USA.

The one I'm using is only a couple months old, and it works well in my Desire HD, and my Moto Defy. It's only the N1, but I guess maybe it could be that. I'll look into more.
If it's only a few months old, then it may nor be the SIM that is the problem. I suggested it because a number of T-Mo users were having similar problems after a recent network upgrade, and a new SIM seems to fix the issue for most...
Hi there,
Here comes my first question:
Since i got ICS on my SGS+ i cant get HSDPA. With Stock GB it wasnt a Problem, i had it almost everywhere when neccessary . Ive tried now 5 basebands, and sometimes i get it for 3 seconds.. but that was it... i'm in germany (NRW) and got e-plus as provider.
Thank you for youre help

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 guys,
I'm having some serious trouble with my phone not willing to connect to any mobile network at all it just simply says can't connect to this network right now. try again later and after 10 sec it goes into roaming mode :\ this only happens to me when i'm on a custom rom like MIUI, cyanogenmod, AOKP: all have these problems
maybe some important info:
carrier: telenet (in belgium running with a micro-sim)
phone type: C5303
working in stock rom with exact same APN settings!
I can make phone calls and send messages just fine
Someone who can shed some light on this occasion?
thanks,

Is it a "virtual" provider? If yes ROAMING is normal..

I don't know exactly but i do know that on miui on my old phone i saw that it said connected to Mobistar (appearently my carrier "telenet" and the carrier "mobistar are using the same exact network!)
EDIT: i found this on the internet Telenet Mobile is a MVNO that uses the network of Mobistar
so the hole roaming thing is normal then? won't it use more data or waste more money? i really just wanna have 3G or EDGE on the top like i used to have on stock lol it's a bit confusing having roaming at the top
A network using another ones network is called a virtual provider. Let me explain..
In Holland we have KPN, Tmobile and Vodafone. These three are the biggest one here. We also have Telfort, HI, Hollandsnieuwe and Simyo (or Simpel). These providers are called "Virtual" because they dont have their own antennas. They use the one from KPN (most of them) because this is the biggest provider in Holland at the moment.
The issue you describe sound very familiair. In the Galaxy S + section I've read about this issue and some users fixed this with turning ROAMING on. I did not encounter any issues like this on my Galaxy S+ at that time because im on Vodafone.
Perhaps this will be the solution for you? It also could be a CyanogenMod bug but I have no idea

YAY i got the normal symbols back!!! :: by changing this spn-conf with this one: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s...AGgdPfjLR9knQqvVECx_brcvkPoFkEccIHEAJIar7-lUA
and the enabling data network!
FOR ANYONE HAVING THIS ISSUES WITH MVNO'S USE THAT SPN-CONF.XML!!!!!
The R symbol is normal. It is cool that you changed it but still the R was normal..
Nice work tho
Mine is having throttled speeds, at only 25 Mbps maximum over both cellular network (LTE) and WiFi based on both the CM10.2 & PacMan ROM (Android 4.3.1). Can anyone explain why? Download speed over WiFi is normally over 40 Mbps for stock 2.254 firmware.
For the last weeks.. I have been trying to get this phone working with T-Mobile..I had unlock the sim card and now running badboyz 4.3 rom. 1.3
After unlocking the sim card and setting up the apn, selected T-Mobile from the available networks and it will connect. But when I go to work, I will lose signal every few block, and need to search for available network again and wait to select t mobile again.
I had try to use the t mobile sim card on my old phone and everything will works fine with no signal lost.
Can anyone please HELP!... I been searching and looking for an answer for more than 2 weeks..but no resolve.....
Thanks

This is probably because T-mob covers only particular places the frequencies this phone uses http://theunlockr.com/2013/07/05/htc-one-sprint-specs/ vs t-mob https://t-mobile.jive-mobile.com/#jive-document?content=/api/core/v2/documents/4988

Is there any solution for this problem ?
Is there anything I can do to fix this problem ? (different rom or radio...etc..) Or I have to give up the phone... Cause it is too much headache to "searching for network" all the time and miss all the call with no service on the phone without knowing..

well, I am not an expert on the tmobiles network, but going by what lazybozz, said, I seem to remember tmobile using different bands than the other carriers, so what you may be experiencing, is the phone being in the vicinity of multiple towers, but not all of them are within the band that the phone supports. So its like the phone doesnt even see those towers. On a side note, this issue caused alot of chaos for those who unlocked iphones about 3 years ago, they could use EDGE on tmobiles network but not 3G, so i assume this is a similar situation. So long story short, yeah you probably cant fix the problem, unless you get a quad band phone. I could be wrong, but it does sound like a logical reason for the issue you are having.
as elvisypi said above, Its the freq that T-mobile operates on in that area. If your getting T-mobile at all in the states then you have already flashed a radio. However flashing any other radio is not going to give you the freq that tmobile uses, Its not a software limitation its a physical hardware limitation.
Thanks for your reply, do you know any app out there that monitor and alarm you when the network or signal is lost ? That works with 4.3 ?That way at least you know the phone is offline ... some of the apps I tried is anything at all ...
Thanks
Have you tried an app like tasker? Its essentially an automation app. It isnt jist for your use. Its for many different functions. Jist look on the app store for tasker. That might help
