i found a program that allows you to choose what band to lock onto, like 3G or GSM its handy for me because my 3G signal was low so it would switch to GSM when i didnt want it to, with this band switch i can just tell it to stay on 3G signal and it wont switch back to GSM. How do i share this find with the community? so i can post the cab file or email it to somebody so they can do it for me?
whats wrong with tapping on the antenna icon, then tapping on settings and then choosing the "BAND" tab to lock your bands !! it works fine for me !
blush did not know that (im a noob )
I've had mine for 6 months and never paid attention to that tab, so don't feel bad.
lol we all have to start somewhere !

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 all.
i just want to ask about the 3g icon in x10 mini pro, i can't see it in my mini, can anybody tell me if there is something wrong with my software or its doesn't appear in the mini.
if its appear please put a pic of it
Thanks
Hi,
I'm not sure if it's icon or it's just some text...
Has 3G with two little arrows underneath it, one pointing up the other pointing down, it's obvious what it is, if it's there. It'll only show when 3G data is being used, so if you're connected to a UMTS network but have data off it wont be there.
yes i have these tow arrows with a G letter, thanks for your clarification
That's the one, but with just the G is regular GPRS (2G), E for EDGE (2.5G) and 3G for 3G... if you look in "settings" -> "about phone" -> "network type" you can see if you're on a UMTS or GSM network
I never saw the 3g, just the G and E.
i hope there is no problem i need to fix !!!!
Just change to a better coverage area.
It happens to me when i'm in some bar's. But the minute i come outside the icon changes to 3G with no problems =)
I hope this helps
Cheers!
As long as you haven't set the phone to GSM only and you've got the appropriate version for your region you should be ok.
I have the UK Razr, at first i was able to use 3G then after 3 days i can only get EDGE.
I hard reset and still i cant get 3G.
Ideas?

When i do a network search I only get the 2G networks. If i select 3G the signal drops.
It seems i cant enable UMTS. I m always on EDGE / 2g network.
If I use the sim in another mobile it connects normally to 3G/UMTS.
Any help how to enable it on the RAZR?
It was working 2 days ago and suddenly it stopped.
Any idea how to switch between radio bands? from the phone info i can only see USA band and nothing about Europe or other bands?
This is causing my disabled 3G, I cant connect to any 3G network (voice and data).
Help is needed please
Fix the problem? Same thing happens to me yesterday. All the same. I would appreciate help.
Sorry for my English, I am using the google translator from Spanish.
Same problem here. Anyone find a fix?
Yesterday I wrote email to Motorola, I have asked several questions ... but still have not given me solution.
I returned the device to the store after trying everything. I even changed the GSM/SIM operator and the problem wasn't solved, i can only use EDGE/2G, whenever i switch to 3G the signal dies.

For mine, the testing menu is *#*#4636#*#*
No luck yet with what you suggested, but I'm trying different combos of APNs and messing with the testing menu to see if I can get UMTS.

I've fixed my particular issue. I did an upgrade to the iPhone 4S (US AT&T), and am selling the iPhone to pay for my xt910. Apparently, when they did the upgrade, they inadvertently removed my data plan. They fixed the issue and I'm now getting full UMTS on wap.cingular.
Hopefully that will help some of you other guys having the issue. I thought it was the phone itself, but it turned out to be my plan.
Guys, I am trying to understand how to change my mobile network access on the phone.
I am on the ATT version of the SGS2 and have repeatedly used
*#301279# -->Change HSPA Revision--->R99-HSPA off, but I continue to display the H+ in the status bar. My speed tests don't change at all with regard to the selection I make (1,2,3). Am I doing something wrong? Am I supposed to "save" the settings after I make the selection?
I live in South Florida and we have H+ here, so I am really not sure what is going on. The phone also displays my network as UTMS and I have NEVER seen 3G in the status bar. I am using my old sim from my Iphone 3gs with data unlimited plan with the correct (4g) APNs.
Any ideas guys?

I`a m not on the AT&T network so i can`t advice you myself but i would look on the thread of Designgears on xda as he`s on your network to. If you don`t see anything about apn-settings post a question on XDA and you`ll get answers. Or google around for your settings and look on the AT&T website.
Hope you find your answers
Also just to clarify, I'm trying to get the phone in 3g only mode.

Hi Guys!
I have a little problem seriously from which I would like to get out of it then ....
Using phone info on my s2 and perpetually entry inserted wcdma preferred , because of what happens when the switch from 3g to 2g you turn off the radio signal and as a result I have to deactivate and then reactivate the line if you do not want to be offline ..... to remedy the problem , however, using only your voice always on 3g wcdma only place I insert the item and does not come back after a while the voice wcdma preferred because in practice septum on using everything all in 3g .
Well, now instead ...
Among the various items of info there is also lte phone / gsm / cdma auto ( prl ) , setting the above item and putting the signal on 2g 3g happens when the switch keeps the net for 3 seconds and then turn it off by returning the damn value wcdma preferred commanding then keep only ever connesioni 3g which is a bummer for me the phone is discharged in a short time .
I ask if anyone knows a way , software or system that can keep the entry was lte / gsm / cdma auto ( prl ) inserted and saved so that it can not change so I can solve the problem of the switch and go back to using the phone in full peace of mind.
I do not know why this thing happens to me .... I tried different rom , samsung original , paranoid cyano to see if it was resolved , cleaning done with the whole nuke did everything , installed everything but I'm problem remains .
I hope you can help me !
Sorry for my English....
