[Q] vodafone uk 3g issues?

Having slight issues with my note on vodafone Uk, whenever I try to browse the internet and the 3g sign in status bar shows weboages don't load at all, when the H is showing bam they load really fast, and even when the E is showing they load but slowly, which is to be expected with edge. So why wouldn't it be loading when on 3g? Have I got some setting wrong on the phone?

HSDPA is faster than 3G.
3G (3rd Generation of Telecommunication Standards) is a standard of cellular connectivity which allows for speeds of up to 384 Kb/s downstream and 64 Kb/s upstream. 3G HSDPA is a 3G enhancement. HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) is a new mobile data protocol and is sometimes referred to as a 3.5G. Theoretically, HSDPA speeds can reach 3.6 Mbps downstream and 348 Kbps upstream. But the purpose of putting both on a smartphones is to make sure that your phone get internet access even when the other one is not available or have no access

possibly an issue with vodafone, have you contacted them to see if there are any issues?
as for the above post, totally irrelevant and hsdpa wil lgo alot faster than 3.6

Yeah they seems to think my sim card needed resetting, but hasn't made a difference, still does it. Hopefully someone has the same issues with a work around searched the net for hours, with not effect. The other weird thing is if its stuck on 3g and not loading I usually disable data on power button menu then er enable and H usually comes back and it works again, even if I turn it to GSM only in network setting, so Edge is only possible it works fine also just takes ages to load any pages which is annoying!

how long you had the sim card? it might be a provisioning issue with it

You think? Well I've had it a few years now like, 3 I think.

Vodafone SIM card works fine in my Note (SIM free from Germany).
I'd suggest try your SIM card with a different phone and try a different SIM card in your Note if possible to see if the fault is with your SIM card or Note.
P.S. Are you using any custom ROM? Could be a problem there.

No I'm on stock rom kka, yeah sure its something today with network or sim card, just rang them to get a new similar. Hopefully that will sort it out.
.

Fixed my issue, turns out it was happening a lot with people who have the galaxy s2, needed to enter code *#301279#, and release 5 hspa only, then disable fast dormancy mode on the phone, now I'm getting fast 3g everywhere :-D

It does say 3g and not just g?

if youre in the uk and only getting edge or gprs it may not be the phones fault.
I had a similar issue, we all assume we can get full 3G everywhere, not necessarily.
To solve this you need to buy the Vodafone sure signal box, it basically plugs into your home broadband router and then transmits full 3g around your house to whatever numbers you register on the box, including dongles.
The whole family can use it as you can register 32 numbers into it.
Cost about £50 new, i have a BNIB never been used or taken out of the box new one here, up for sale as it happens for £25.
Anyone interested should PM me....

Or you could just use wifi as you are at home anyway.

As I said sorted the issue it had something to do with the phone locking into search for hspa, and not reverting back to 3g when there wasn't any hspa signal. Apparently its a problem Samsung are working on. But the little fix of only scanning for 3g works for now, and I did a bandwidth test on hepatitis, and 3g, and 3g was actually faster. So not bothered.

Great find bud u should start another thread explaining the steps in a guide cause this is great info for Vodafone UK users

Mi5 lte issue with all roms

Hello Fellow MI5 Users,
I am writing this thread to see if anyone else is having issues like me with my Mi5.
The problem is the intermittent signal issue with LTE, My problem started when I flashed 6.7.28 miui 8 update at first I thought that it was my Network Provider, but when I checked my dad's and sisters phones (same provider) their 4G signal is very stable without any issues at all.
So to describe my problem this is what's happening to my phone.
My phone is now running the latest Global beta miui8 6.8.12
When switching to LTE as prefer connection my phone signal goes crazy from NO SIGNAL - NO SERVICE - EMERGENCY ONLY - NO SIMCARD as I dig in to my settings i change my preferred connection to 3G Only which in my surprise works well and perfect without any issues but the problem here in my country(Philippines) you cannot rely on H or H+ at all since the network provider service sucks bigtime!
So far here's a list of what I did with my phone to fix it
- Flash back to China miui8 later version that I remembered that I don't have any issues with my LTE(Sucks because the issue was there also when I went back)
- Flash to MIUI 7 (Ohh well at this point I thought going back to miui7 will fix this issue but NO, not at all and I'm losing patience)
- Flash all KINDS of CM Based OS (Well switching OS might solve the issue, But believe me it got worst! after flashing all kinds of CM Based OS on my MI5 it all went down to Reboot forever bug (this happens when my phone boots and phone started to connect to LTE)
- Went back to Global beta miui 8 6.8.12 basedband version TH20c1.9-00038 up until now im still using this version.

Could it be you're own carrier hasn't got coveridge for LTE for your device?

In my country lte is Band 3(1800) and mi5 should support that band,right?

For me my carrier do support coverage for MI5, but just recently it went nuts

hi im using official global rom with my mi5 but i cant make native video call on my gsm operotor because of not support miui 7 and 8 so.. is there a rom support native video calling like samsung ?

Mi5 Prime user here. same problem with LTE as well using GLOBE sim, no problem with SMART so far. using China ROM MIUI 8
here are my observations
GLOBE switched to LTE - stable when stationary.. goes NO SIGNAL / EMERGENCY CALLS ONLY when moving in a vehicle
i guess there is a problem on the radio signal switching from H+ to LTE vise versa. unlike my other phone - Meizu M2 Note. no problem switching between 3G / H+ / 4G.

Sucks right? I wanted to switch carrier as well but then again, LTE coverage with smart sucks specially in my location... Hoping that this will be fix soon..
I used to have a perfect LTE with globe 4G+ after some time after updating OS version it went nuts

I updated my mi5 to miui 8 global and got 4g signal but only for a minute or less then it dissapeared and when i manually choose mobile networks i can only select Telenor 2g and 3g...really weird.

Hello James,
I am having the exact same issue on my Globe Sim. I just bought mine last week. Whenever i turn on my mobile data, signal suddenly goes to no service, not detected, etc. Its very frustruating.
Is my unit defective? Or is it just a firmware issue?

I am using both Mi5 and Redmi Note 4x. In both phones, I experience frequent network connection drops for both SIM cards in serted on the phone (one is Sun, the other is Globe). Even while stationary, I exeperience the network drop where the signal bar for both SIMs suddenly simultaneously disappear. The network drop is worse when I am mobile. In addition, the network drop is causing the app I am using at the time to restart. PLEASE HELP.

hi.. is this thread still active? have you found the solution?
i am also from the Philippines, been using globe for 2 years in mi5 with no connection problems, then recently, when i try to connect to data, the signal goes on and off just like yours.. just this month, i updated from miui7 to miui9 and the problem got worst! when i connect to mobile data, phone reboots after a minute! i tried every fix i found in the internet (reset APN settings, factory reset, airplane mode) but nothing seems working.. So i tried Sun as my other network and it works perfectly fine.. Also, i tried to interchange sim 1 and 2 slot but still not fixed.. Another thing, when i turn the data in different place, my connection seems okay.. i live in cebu city but works in lapulapu.. the problem occurs in lapulapu..
help! is this network related or somethings wrong with the phone?

Good to see this thread. I thought my phone had a factory defect.
based on my experience.
version 9.1.1.0 and below only loses signal for globe while on data connection in some locations .
higher versions up to the latest(now is 9.5.5.0) causes our phone to totally reboot in some locations as well.
maybe it has to do with the signal/radio frequency on the area for the identified carrier(Globe).

this is easy.
root then disable LTE band 41

How do you disable band 41?
Thank you in advance.

little problem with my 4g......

Hey
I'm live in france and i have a phone package with operator Orange
I have a little (BIG) problem with my Mi 9 when i'm at work ( on other place it's work very good)
My network 4g have issue by intermittence
exemple : i play video game online , all work and instantly while 4-5 minutes i don't have any 4g
it's random , sometime my network 4g work 30 minutes and after disappears and again and again
I did not have this problem since 1 month , it's appear since 2 weeks
Things who was tested : reboot , wipe cache , factory reset
I try to call orange , and they said to me " it's a problem with frequency of you're phone " but i don't believe that , because all 4g bands in france are compatible with Mi 9 , and i did not have this problem before
Orange have verify if they have problems with network on my work but all is good for them , and they said that no customer has reported the same problem in the zone :crying:
The only solution is to force 3g only , 0 problems with 3g
Ps : i don't think it's a harware issue because i don't have this problem on my house etc
Who have the problem ?
Someone can help me ?
Thanks

Seems you are alone with this problem? Sometimes firmware updates can destroy connections. But I don't know what wrong in your case.

ok thanks

Download Netmonster and add database, then you'll see the signal in dBm and also the frequency. You can go to anfr antennes relais to check where the antennas are. I hope you buy global version otherwise you can have some issues with 4G
Can you tell me if this phone is 4xCA or 3xCA ready : when you activate 4G you'll see on netmonster 800+1800+2100+2600
Thanks

I got the same problem in France, but on the SFR Operator, in 4G as well, since Monday (maybe since Friday 31/05 but I'm always on wifi when not at work).
- Seems like, whatever the cell tower, I get almost no data out. I can make calls on 3G, of course.
- Basically, I've got almost no data output and very limited input (LTE : 7/2 Mb/S speedtest), and I got to use wifi all the time if I want to do something. On 3G, it's 3.9/0.7 Mb/s
I haven't heard of someone else having problems just yet, but that might be either a local issue (I'm near Paris) or a wider cell outage.
I don't think it's related to the phone itself, more on the operator's side, because there hasn't been an update of MIUI justifiying a different behavior.

Yes upgrade to MUI 10 with my mix 2s cause e reduction of TX output so you recieve less, i dont know it's the case for mi9
I got 50 mega in 4g+ 800+1800 with sfr
Try near an 4g antenna like 20 or 100 meters to see if you can have a good speed

Wifi 5g issues

Hello everyone,
I bought two Realme X50 5g from Amazon uk and I was really excited when the phone arrived, from what I read everywhere was a lot of value for the money. However just after a few hours of use I was really disappointed to see the behaviour I am having in both phones.
I can connect to the wifi 5g band without issues and I get internet, the problem is that after a while (randomly can't tell 1 hour or 10 hours depends) when I check the phone it says "no internet" and I can't access anything, I need to disconnect and connect again and the internet comes straight away.
This issue is a little bit annoying because it means being disconnected for a while until I realise about it.
I am in the UK and I have Virgin Media and was using their SuperHub 3 which has worked really well with any device until now. I tried to change the config from dual band and add 2g to the 2g ssid and 5g to the 5g ssid so they were separated so it doesn't use dual band automatically and is the same. I was suspicious the problem could be the VM router so I bought a new router TP-Link Archer A7 AC1750 which I believe is a middle range router which supports dual-band however doesn't have all the high tech technologies like mu-mimo and beamforming. Anyway I got the router setup everything and have been using the Tp Link instead an the exact same thing happens.
I am with EE as carrier and I don't have yet a 5G plan, however as soon I turned on the phone with my sim EE sent me a test saying that they have enabled VOLTE since I am on a device that supports it. I may be wrong but I am also getting the impression the issue tends to happen more frequently if I have received or done any calls, but I have no hopes on getting support from EE.
I have contacted Amazon support which was hopeless and I have sent an email to Realme support but I haven't heard from them yet.
I am starting to consider to return the phones and get a refund but if I need to get to that will be a shame because the phones does looks nice and I have been enjoying it, I like the UI and the performance is quite good.
With all said I was wondering if anyone is aware of any issues with the Realme X50 5G and the 765G SOC wifi?
Thanks in advance

Question Big issue, No Data during a call.

So One thing I discovered on this new phone of mine is that although working perfectly there is a major flaw in the way Internet data works during a phone call.
Any time you make a call, the phone downgrades the active signal from 5G/4G to H or E ( GSM).
Which in turns cuts off the data.
If I force 5G or 4G, then the phone call cannot be made. It just disconnects.
I have tried all settings, Volte enable/disable with no joy.
Some have said it's a carrier limitation, but it's not, cause in my iPhone, the very same simcard works just fine and the Internet is usable during a call.
Also tried with dual Simcard setup. As in the settings, the phone allows to use one simcard for data and one for call. Still not working.
Can someone please tell me if there is a solution please, or can you try your phone while on the call to see if Internet works as this feature is detrimental to me keeping the phone. If this doesn't work I will be selling the phone and getting a realme replacement.. Xiaomis sometimes suck with their non existent support.
Thanks

This comes from the operator who has not yet communicated with Xiaomi.
Same case with 2 operators on the same phone.
What version of rom?

Global ROM 13.0.4
I can't see an operator fault if they have Volte services enabled and this simcard works flawlessly on other android systems.
As a matter of fact, any SimCard i have tried, so far 3 providers and the phone does the same thing. As soonest the call is made it downgrades the signal to H while full 5G or 4G is available??

the operator must provide the necessary information for each brand and phone to activate Volte and Wowifi.
On my 11t pro everything works with SFR and nothing with FREE because Free has not yet transmitted the information necessary to activate the services.

So went to see the operator. They sell Xiaomi phones. 3 network ( Three EU)
The phones in the stores are working just fine, no issues at all. And my phone simply just isnt.I have tried every possible setting and still not working.
See the screenshot below. As I'm typing this I'm on a super fast full signal 5G connection. As soon as I make a phone call, the phone will downgrade to E or H+ which is horrible. This network signal switching is also laggy, and If 2g signal is poor I cannot even make a call.

Does the "Use VoLTE" switch appear in the SIM card settings?
If not you can try the Dialer Code *#*#869434#*#*. That only will make this switch appear, but sometimes this is enough. It should also show the little VoLTE-Badge next to the signal strength (see screenshot).

I just had another look and on your 1st post it says the SIM is named "3 IRL", as far as I know Three Ireland does not offer VoLTE at all.
So it will always drop to 3G/H+ or 2G/E ... on every phone.

5G connection should support this naturally. If I put this simcard Into an iPhone or Galaxy the 5G connection stays on regardless.
Anyway even with Vodafone this doesn't work,so I'm thinking it either a phone limitation or a phone is fooked

No, for VoNR your phone still needs the same configs as with VoLTE. Though only a few operators support VoNR as of now.
