Hi, I'm having some problems with my mobile data connection. I live in Brazil, and I'm always traveling between two cities.In one of them I always have the signal of a 3G+ network. everything works normally.
but the city number 2, I only get the signal H / H +, and with this signal I can't get network access.
PS: in the city number 1 I also have the same problem when I receive signals H / H +
This problem persists independently of the flashed ROM.
Sorry for the possible errors in the translation.
ops... I think I created the topic in the wrong area, sorry.
Its because in city 2 the network isn't enough covered.
Are you the only one with this issue?

Im from the UK and got the same problem. Im on h/h+ mostly. I am working in a metal box warehouse that blocks all signal nicely, so if mobile data enabled the data connection drops or changes to hspda or gprs. I know certain points where the signal is fine so theoretically the connection should b restored automatically, but it wont. If I scan for network provider and register on 3g network of giffgaff it working immediately. It seems the phone drops the previous tower and connects to another which has no 3g capable signal, but in network setting the preferred is lte, so I guess the phone should find the best available data network. Sometimes the only way to go online again is restarting phone cuz there is no data connection at all. Weird.

Hi
I have a strange problem with my Incredible S, seems impossible to browse or make any data connection using EDGE. One of the arrows near E symbol (upload) activated regularly when needed by data connection but the other one (download) is always gray inactive. The browser remains stalled for some time but at the end the standard "no internet connection" page appear. In some cases the connection, after the stall period, switch automatically to GPRS which function normally. The phone operates perfectly on 3G as on GPRS but never on EDGE. I tried from hard reset to the latest firmware update but the situation remains the same. After my last update using "RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.30.405.1_Radio_20.2808.30.085AU_3805.06.03.03_M_release_199308_sign ed" I actually have radio 20.2808.30.085AU_3805.06.03.03_M.
I'm unable to change my situation and haven't found anyone else with the same problem (someone is having problems with EDGE but only on roaming, but I have problems on my home network??).
1) which country and carrier you are using your Incredible s?
2) which model you have? s710e or S710a?

s710e.
Country: Albania
Carrier: Vodafone - 3G ok, GRPS ok, EDGE no.
Carrier: Albanian Mobile Comunications - GPRS ok, EDGE no.
Carrier: Eagle Mobile - GPRS ok, EDGE no.
I tried all these operator using approprite SIM cards.
Also tried a SIM card of Vodafone UK, but the result is the same.
I actually didn't think it was possible to use internet when you signal is EDGE.
Data up arrow and no down arrow, along with stalled internet happens at least 50% of the time on gprs and edge for me whenever the signal is less than 4 bars, but no problem on 3g or WiFi. I have heard other people report the same issue. I have been through all radios, but none of them fix this issue. I'm with UK Vodafone.

yes, I have been in such situations before, but at the end the connection was made. with incredible s there is no edge connection. I have tested with my other phone (HTC sensation) on the same table, on the same time, activating only gprs/edge without success on Inc s, but normally on sensation.
no way ...!!!
Hi,
I have patchy 3g but a good 2g signal when at home. The problem I have is my Z1 keeps flipping between the bad 3g and the good 2g.
When I'm at home I would like it to be forced to use the good 2g signal only so I would like it if the phone worked from 2g only when it recognises my home wifi.
My original thought was tasker but when I tried it, the radio section is not available, saying not compatible with this device.
Anyone know what else I could use ?
Thanks,
malty

When connected to wifi, doesn't the phone just turn off all mobile data? Mine doesn't show 2g or 3g or any indication of any mobile data being active when on wifi. Unless I'm missing something?

It's not data that's the problem. for calls and texts it is still connected to either a 2g or 3g mast. I need it to be looking for and connecting to a 2g mast only, since the 3g mast where I live is poor signal and is intermittent but since the phone would prefer a 3g over a 2g signal, it tries to connect to it anyway.
As stated I would like it to be in GSM (2G) only mode when I'm at home and automatically switch to 3g(preferred) and 2g when away from home.
Hi,
I know this isn't exactly what you're looking for but you could try installing this ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2463675
It's listed to have a force 2g option and you might be able to find a way to automatically trigger it.
I also found a Radio Switcher app in the Play Store, but again, not perfect.
Hope this helps.
Andrew
As far as I know, you can't have automated 3g to 2g switching even with a rooted device because android prohibits it.

tasker will do it but the radio section in tasker is greyed out with the explanation 'not available for this device'
From what I've read changing network settings is protected by Android, and thus not possible if running a rooted stock-rom.
If someone comes up with an idea how to rescan/update the settings without a reboot that works (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230207), please tell as I also have horribly bad coverage of >3G at home.
Hi guys,
Really hope you can help me out with this one. I have a Xperia SP with the latest firmware .254 and I am having problems connecting the Three's 3G network. The problem is intermittent as sometimes I have 3G HSPA network and then sometimes it flips to 2G which on Three's network there is no data I am happy it is not a signal issues as I have the same phone in the same spot with both 3G and 2G, it just seems to be intermittent whether I can get 3G or 2G. Also, when I try to force 3G only it flips back to 3G prefered when I reboot. Hope you guys can help with this, I will try and provide anything else that you guys think might solve the problem.
Thanks

Cab you look on 3 web site does it gives info on there signal if probs in your area.
Ask for new sim card.
Try diff phone on same network see if there is issues.
I am on 3 in UK northants area,I have full signal but in house there are 2 black spots kitchen and bathroom were I get no signal.

Thanks for that info, turns out that there is a must fault in my area (South Devon), which explains why the problem is intermittent as we have 3 masts that serve our area. Hopefully it will be fixed soon!

I have updated from .230 firmware to .283 via Ota and root is preserved but after the update my phonr cannot detect 3g networks. Before it was fine. Does this happened to any one else?

Can't detect or detects but doesn't connect?
Check the APN list, you might need to select / reselect / add APN.
It doesn't detect any 3g network at all 2g is fine and I am in area where multiple 3g networks are available. BTW I am from India and in .230 firmware it was all fine.

Like genieass said It might be network related. I only offer a suggestion.
Did you try Settings > Wireless and Networks > Tap "More" > Internet Settings? Just tap it and wait a few seconds
The phone cannot detect 3g networks. 2g is fine 2g data is fine. But when I switch to wcdma or GSM/wcdma on network mode it cannot detect 3g networks at all. It just shows no network even though 3g is available. Trying manual searching for 3g networks is also showing no 3g networks.

I am speaking of data. If you are talking about proper 3g, I might have misled you. You seem to be looking for 3g calls etc? if so, pl ignore me.
My connection is 2g, data is 3g. I am on H+ most times. Firmware updates are faster OTA, 3G than wifi. Which connects thru a 512 mbps dataone adsl line.

The phone simply cannot detect 3g networks. The data part and Internet settings comes after the phone detects 3g networks. So no its cannot be done. When I am on wcdma only setting the phone doesn't show network ie I am on emergency mode. If I try manual searching of networks it doesnot show any 3g network even though I am in a coverage area with multiple 3g networks.

Open up dialpad and type in " *#*#4636#*#* ". Inside "phone settings" you might be able to adjust to some options which might work.
Restart your phone and confirm that the modification has been lost.
Unfortunately it is reset every bootup. So you might want to fallback to 4.4.2 (hack, or 4.3) and wait for solution from Sony.
Post the result of this to Sony Mobile Official Forum might help. Anyways, please report back after trying each option.:good:
After my update to 4.4.4, I lost the ability to access the Internet over my mobile network. I had full signal and even hdpda/hspda+ sometimes but no Internet at all. I realize its not the exact same issue but they might be related. I found out that my APN had been changed when I updated, so I hit settings>more>Internet settings and it fixed the problem. It didnt need to be connected to the Internet to do it either, it just worked on the same network connection that wasnt giving Internet. Hopefully this works for you too, since this caused me endless headaches when it happened.

Yeah but for me no signal when in WCDMA mode just shows emergency mode but when i switch to gsm mode it shows full signal. My APN are automatically downloaded every time i insert my sim card in the phone so APNs are fine asthey are auto downloaded on 2g. But no 3g signal even in full signal strength area. Seems like I have to do repair by PCC which i am trying to avoid as my internet connection is slow. I'll post if the repair is helpful. I was just trying to know if anyone else have the same problem or not.

If all suggestions here failed, then I am quite certain that either your network provider has a problem or your phone has a FW issue. Provided that you dd not fall the phone carelessly and damaged the modem, i would recommend you go search on google for this issue with your network provider on the search keywords. If no luck, Just downgrade to 4.4.2, then report to Sony as a bug.
Anyways, Good Luck
Does anyone have any suggested paths to get better reception out of this phone? It is so bad and sporadic constantly toggling between 2/3/4g, signal up and down, etc. I've tried multiple different firmwares

signal works fine for me too.
The signal's same or better than my Nexus 4 on 3G. I usually keep LTE turned off because that signal in my area is pretty weak and I'm usually using WiFi anyway. Plus, a weak LTE signal (or switching back and forth from 3G to 4G) is a battery drainer.
in my case, Z3C has weak signal reception than Z1C on CM11 :/ in my sister house i had weak but i had signal, i loose signal sometimes in pocket, but everywhere else outside of pocket signal was OK on the Z1C CM11 but on stock firmware Z3C there is no signal all the time i had to go outside home and search for network manually... i`m using only 2G mode to save battery
Did anyone notice in the settings (access point names), there is att phone and sony gprs. The sony gprs is selected by default and there is nothing in the settings (only mcc and mnc). When you select att phone, the phone doesn't work. Could this have something to do with it?

i think it's just with your phone since you're using it on ATT. try entering ATT's APN settings. I'm using it on tmobile and signal is fine and it only shows one APN for me. I don't have that sony one you're talking about.
