FRF72 and 3G

Hey,
I've recently upgraded to the new FRF72 firmware update and and for some reason I'm no longer able to use 3G. Whenever I uncheck 'Use 2G networks only' I loose connection to my network (Orange UK) and get the "Emergency Calls Only" message.
Can anyone help?
Regards,
Brent

Not sure, I know when I upgraded I got way better signal. Dont know if its coincidence or not, but Im also getting like twice the speeds. My latest speed test was 4.2 Mbps
Hope ya figure it out. Just saying its not a frf72 thing as my speeds fly

Try rebooting at least twice.
I've not noticed a difference.

I have a similar problem. 3G connection is now much worse, after upgrading I have noticed that the connection is now less sensitive and loses signal much easier, especially when holding the phone in in hand. Very bad update..

Well bugger me. After trying to fix this since FRF72 got leaked and I decided to punt it, I appear to have solved the issue.
For those who're suffering from the same problems; I remembered I've played around with Network Type in the hidden settings (dial *#*#4636#*#* then click Phone Info). I turned Ciphering off and set the Network Type to CDMA only rather than the default WCDMA preferred. I've now changed this back and things seem to be working.

my 3G speed is blazing now in Houston.
It's triple the speed of my work connection.

uk vodafone, 3g speed apparently increased.
I have literally just added the frf72 release, as I sit here.
I did test before upgrade and got 1555kbs
test after 2293kbs
not a controlled test as other apps could have been using the connection in the background, however, this is where I always sit and have never seen that high a result.
I am running stock, Froyo installed when first update.zip came out, and frf72 update.zip just applied now. otherwise nothing changed.

while we're on this speed subject is there any way to get EDGE any faster, where I live the providers only have EDGE unfortunately!

[Q] Intermittent Data Network after flashing rom

On stock 2.1, I get 3G practically everywhere I go, but when I flash a rom I always get the H or E symbol and sometimes it randomly goes dead even though I just had H or E in the exact same spot... What could I do to improve this?

H is another symbol for 3g lol ithink all builds have this

Tried JI6 - I'm using Serendipity 5.8 and it's the same. I get like 4 bars, then it jumps to 0 and randomly I have no connection. I forgot to note, it is for both Data and Voice networks...
If it helps, I'm in Orange County and when I do Speedtest my scores are abysmal on "H" I get 270KBPS down and 130 KBPS up.

The "H" is 3.5g a little faster than 3g. If it keeps alternating between "H" and "E", I would definitely consider flashing a new modem.

I've flashed 3. All of them do this. :/
Highest I've gotten on Speed test is with Jk4 and it was like 800kbps download... And it's usually around 200-300.

have you tried to disable HSPA? To do so, go to your dialer>type *#301279#
select [2] then select [1] . see it that helps
*edit* If that doesn't work, put the phone in airplane mode for a few minutes and re-enable.

Thanks man. Trying it now, will report back soon...
Still iffy... I dunno but I dropped my old phone in water with the SIM card. I got a new one, but could it be the SIM card that's damaged?

It very well could be the sim card.
Hope you get your phone working again!

Any ideas on how to get a new one? I don't want them to see the custom rom, but how could I tell them I'm gettin iffy service without showing up with my phone?

Select phone information and scroll down until you see this drop down
From the drop down, select the network you wish to use.
WCDMA only is 3G only.
GSM only is 2G only.
Hope this helps.

Dual SIM Note 5 Duos not receiving very good 2G signal. Can I do anything to improve?

Hi Everyone,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Duos and reception with one of my SIM cards is quite poor. Since purchasing the phone I have come to realise that the Duos operates on 2G/3G/4G using one SIM card, and on the other it operates purely on 2G. Unfortunately 2G reception in my area is very poor, so in essence I now have a phone that doesn't work equally well for both phone numbers that it services.
My question is two fold, 1). Is there any way of improving 2G connectivity?, 2). Are there any mods / ROMs / etc which attempt to improve the dual SIM operability of this phone?
Kind Regards,
Davo

Unfortunately, it seems like this is an issue with the phone's hardware, not software. There is however a possible fix, and that would be to flash a diff radio onto your device. I'm not sure which radios would work the best, or even where to find them. But good luck!

Hi Everyone,
Further to my original post here are some screen shots from my phone -
1). This is a photo of my 2G/3G/4G (auto connect) SIM coverage at home (on my old phone, and my wife's phone I get full bars!).

2). This is a photo of my 2G SIM coverage at home.
3). This is a photo of my 'About phone'.
4). This is a photo of my 'Software Info'
As can be seen above my reception is extremely poor, particularly on my 2G/3G/4G (auto connect) SIM.
I have tried swapping 2G/3G/4G (auto) and 2G between the two SIMs. Furthermore I have tried the phone with only one SIM inserted. No matter what I do configuration wise the reception remains very poor.
Any further suggestions here will be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Davo

the same baseband ****AOJ3, the same problem here.
Problem is arising from your installed baseband model. nothing else

Force LTE only without root access, Huawei P30 Pro

I would like my phone to always reconnect to the network once it looses LTE bandwidth.
The thing is that the provider gives me LTE for the first few minutes, but then reduces my speed to HSDPA
So what I need is an app that goes into the airplane mode for just one second and then reactivates the connection.
I found out that rooting my phone is impossible and all the apps that I tried do not work without root.
I downloaded about three different apps all claiming to provide a "Force LTE" experience.
Any suggestions on how I can achieve the goal of auto reconnecting to the network in case my bandwidth drops lower than LTE?
It wouldnt be an issue if I would be actively sitting on the phone, but I am using it as a hotspot with the phone at the window to have best connectivity.
Greetings from Venezuela!

Download this app and change the numbers I've circled in red to just "11" and reboot. You'll have loads more network choices.

It appears to me that the provider doesnt allow me to choose LTE only? Is that possible?

The method is very easy:
1. Use SIM 1 as the default connection setting
2.
You need to install this app for FREE
at Google Play
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teknokia.force4glteonly
pro version : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teknokia.force4glteonlypro
galaxy store: https://apps.samsung.com/appquery/appDetail.as?appId=com.teknokia.force4glteonly
pro version : https://apps.samsung.com/appquery/appDetail.as?appId=com.teknokia.force4glteonlypro
3. Run the application, press the SIM 1 only or Android testing button. You will enter two LTE Switcher options and also 2 Android testing options.
4. You can try all of them which support your phone.
If the telecommunication operator you are using does not support VoLTE (Voice over LTE) and uses LTE Only Mode, so regular calls will be blocked.
for complete detail with video. you must going to teknokia site
