Because I travel often to a market where there is no 1900 GSM signal I have bought a v600. Now my question is this, is it possible to use the v600 as a GPRS modem for my XDA when in one of these markets?
If so can someone please walk me through how to accompolish this?
Thanks.
if v600 have bluetooth or ir you can just setup a network on the xda which use those interfaces insted
of cell(Gprs) which is normaly choosen when you setup gprs for your device

Hi
In my country, Viet Nam, have 2 GSM providers: Vinaphone & Mobiphone.
With Vinaphone sim, I can use GPRS & make call or answer without any problem
But with Mobiphone sim card, GPRS confict with GSM, so can not make call or answer any call,
The problem here is GPRS from Mobilphone, I can ask mobiphone to stop GPRS for my Mobil simcard, then can make call without any problem.
The question is: Can I stop GPRS from O2 XDA , not from Mobiphone System.
O2 XDA II can work with mobiphone with GPRS without any problem
Pls help.
Thanks & Best Regards
Hai Nguyen, you could delete your GPRS connection settings - no settings,
no GPRS! If you just wish to stop GRPS after using it for a while, press
and hold the red key for a few seconds, and that should disconnect you.
I am surprised that VMS and Mopiphone have a different setup - in almost
all other respects they are very similar, since they are heavily leglislated.
The only real difference I have found is on hte edge of their rural coverage,
especially around Long Xuyen.
Good luck anyway,
Dave.
There is a Freeware where you are able to choose whether you want GPRS to stay connected once you no longer use it. It installed ok on my unit, no strange behavior.

Thanks all for your help
But the problem here is not GRPS software, This is a GPRS signal conficted with GSM Signal
GPRS software, connect or not is not this problem
I call Mobilephone to stop my GPRS so I can use Mobiphone simcard with O2 XDA (Running SX56 2003 rom, Radio Stack 4.21),
When I call back Mobilephone to active my GPRS signal. this problem come.
SO
This can not use GPRS software to stop or solve.
It is only solve by stopping GPRS signal from provider, so I look for the way to stop from handphone (some modify in registry or radio stack)
Pls advise
Hi,
Apologies for this question, but i cant get 3G sign in my mobile, while other Nokia n73 can get it. I updated my radio to v1.43, and still no [3G] sign...
In some areas i get [G] which means GPRS signal, and in other areas i got [E] which i don't know what does it mean... Any ideas??
Thx in advance
E = Edge...
Thanks Madcap... But as far as i know that Edge (EGPRS) is an extended version of GPRS whilst 3G is based on WCDMA.
My question now is why my Nokia n73 Reading always 3G, and my HTC is not reading it??? Is there is something wrong in HTC? or i must do some settings for that one?
Thx

Hello,
You say that your Nokia can receive a 3G signal and the Hermes cannot - are they both using SIM cards from the same provider and if not then do both providers supply a 3G signal where you are trying to use the Hermes?
If you should be able to receive a 3G signal on your current provider then I'd suggest you try the following:
1. Check the settings of the Hermes Phone. Try looking at the band selection setings by going to Settings - [Personal] Phone - Band Tab then checking that the Network type is set to Auto. The screenshot below shows the screen that I mean. If this is set to GSM then change it to Auto and see if that fixes the problem. If not then try...
2. Force use of 3G. Even with Auto selected your Hermes handset may be using 2G because that signal is much stronger than the 3G signal. You can force the handset to try 3G only by using a 3rd party application such as Bandswitch (an excellent product by Daniel Herrero - see his posts here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286844&highlight=bandswitch). You can download Bandswitch here: http://commmgrpro.com/_wsn/page2.html. Try using this application to set the handset to 3G and see if that works.
If you should have a 3G signal but none of this helps then it seems you have a problem that may need warranty attention. Is the handset new?
Hope this helps
Hello Tony,
Thank you for your reply. I tried what you advised. Still Cant Capture the 3G signal...
Also, i tried an application called "fieldtest_157.exe". It is described somewhere in this group. I can't find any signal (zero values) for anything related to WCDMA, UMTS, and 3G
This is weird.. I just went into settings>phone .. and there is no BAND tab.. wtf?

Hi Mike,
Have added this reg tweak. It added WCDMA & a couple of protocols in the band section of phone settings. Non of them is working... Is it possible that my radio has a problem? I'm using GPRS very well, and i have excellent GSM connections... What could be the problem?
Hi,
I am an android noob and would really appreciate some help here. I recently acquired a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10i running on Gingerbread 2.3.3. The phone however has failed to live up to my expectations as its connectivity to the internet is very terrible. The mobile networks in my location provide either 3G or HSDPA. The phone however is predominantly on EDGE and even then there is no connectivity with EDGE. Only Opera Mini manages to pull down pages after many minutes of requesting the page and constant refreshing. The same SIM when inserted in a USB Modem dongle gives stable HSDPA internet connectivity. When connected to HSDPA though, the phone's connectivity i trouble free. My question is: Why am I unable to browse or use any of the apps (facebook,play store, twitter, bbc news, Y! Messenger etc) with and EDGE connection? I have tried to restrict connectivity to only WCDMA in settings but this only results in long periods of loss of network on the phone. Help please. I need the phone to operate on EDGE as well as HSDPA as most parts of Nigeria has EDGE coverage with HSDPA only being rolled out in stages in select locations. Thanks

Lke you said if its hard to get a 2g connection the x10 may not be capable of it for some reason in your area :/
If u want to switch between 2g n 3g ,that depends on.ur network provider ( I in India went and ask Docomo service company if I could switch between 2g( EDGE) AND 3g . I got a flat ' no ' reply) .
If u only want 2g go to network settings, and change to GSM only. It may work provided ur service provider doesn't use 3g on it.

Just switch your network to GSM only in network settings and it would only pick up 2G.

It was already done. MMS is working, Edge is working. 3g is not working. My friend has Sensation XL with the same operator and at his phone 3g works well. So the problem is in newer radiomodule or in newer android or I'm handass and done something wrong). Wifi works good and network type is Wcdma prefered, but there is, in service meny, type of network is EDGE. Any 3g in any caces.
Ok, thread can be closed, my provider something changing in towers and 3g isnt available for this moment.
Hello,
I have a Samsung galaxy s3 international rooted and stock Samsung 4.1.2.
My question is I got the cheapest package of t mobile which is 500mb of high speed data (unlimited 2g)and unlimited calls and texts. I wanted to know is there a way I can manually just use 2g when I want to versus 4g?
Do I have to switch network mode? There is auto, gsm and wcdma. Which one should I be on?
P. S. I can use 2g only if I switch to gsm but then I can't receive phone calls. I can call though. Same situation with auto.
Please help!

GSM only will force 2G. And if you can make calls Id assume it should be possible to receive them.
