hi
3G has come to India BSNL has launched it and to my knowledge the first test was at Chennai and is available at the metros
not at Bangalore but then bangalore is not a metro
can any one pls give more info on wat are the exact advantages on 3G mobile technology other than great internet experience and if every other mobile provider moves to this tec will we be able to use our existing phones??
Note : sorry if this is a waste of a thread i thought their mite be many like me who don't know and may be could get to know through this thread

Not in Kolkata either, as of date. Though its launched in Haldia . And its F*&^%&* expensive, 500 bucks only for rental! data usage extra.
Hi

3G -> Features (Source : http://www.m-indya.com/3g/3g_features.htm)
PACKET EVERYWHERE
With Third Generation (3G), the information is split into separate but related “packets” before being transmitted and reassembled at the receiving end. Packet switching is similar to a jigsaw puzzle- the image that the puzzle represents is divided into pieces at the manufacturing factory and put into a plastic bag. During transportation of the now boxed jigsaw from the factory to the end user, the pieces get jumbled up. When the recipient empties the bag with all the pieces, they are reassembled to form the original image. All the pieces are all related and fit together, but the way they are transported and assembled varies.
Packet switched data formats are much more common than their circuit switched counterparts. Other examples of packet-based data standards include TCP/IP, X.25, Frame Relay and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM). As such, whilst packet switching is new to the GSM world, it is well established elsewhere. In the mobile world, CDPD (Cellular Digital Packet Data), PDCP (Personal Digital Cellular Packet), General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) and wireless X.25 technologies have been in operation for several years. X.25 is the international public access packet radio data network standard.
INTERNET EVERYWHERE
The World Wide Web is becoming the primary
communications interface- people access the Internet for entertainment and information collection, the intranet for accessing company information and connecting with colleagues and the extranet for accessing customers and suppliers. These are all derivatives of the World Wide Web aimed at connecting different communities of interest. There is a trend away from storing information locally in specific software packages on PCs to remotely on the Internet. When you want to check your schedule or contacts, instead of using a software package such as “Act!”, you go onto the Internet site such as a portal. Hence, web browsing is a very important application for packet data.
HIGH SPEED
Speeds of up to 2 Megabits per second (Mbps) are achievable with Third Generation (3G). The data transmission rates will depend upon the environment the call is being made in- it is only indoors and in stationary environments that these types of data rates will be available. For high mobility, data rates of 144 kbps are expected to be available- this is only about three times the speed of today’s fixed telecoms modems.
NEW APPLICATIONS, BETTER APPLICATIONS
Third Generation (3G) facilitates several new applications that have not previously been readily available over mobile networks due to the limitations in data transmission speeds. These applications range from Web Browsing to file transfer to Home Automation- the ability to remotely access and control in-house appliances and machines. Because of the bandwidth increase, these applications will be even more easily available with 3G than they were previously with interim technologies such as GPRS.
SERVICE ACCESS
To use Third Generation (3G), users specifically need:
A mobile phone or terminal that supports Third Generation (3G)
A subscription to a mobile telephone network that supports Third Generation (3G)
Use of Third Generation (3G) must be enabled for that user.Automatic access to the 3G may be allowed by some mobile network operators, others will charge a monthly subscription and require a specific opt-in to use the service as they do with other nonvoice mobile services
Knowledge of how to send and/ or receive Third Generation (3G) information using their specific model of mobile phone, including software and hardware configuration (this creates a customer service requirement)
A destination to send or receive information through Third Generation (3G). From day one, Third Generation (3G) users can access any web page or other Internet applications- providing an immediate critical mass of users.
These user requirements are not expected to change much for the meaningful use of 3G.

As far as i know our Gene does not have the capability for 3G services like HSDPA. We can have only GPRS and EDGE which are not very fast like 3G.

thanks for ur info i am aware of the same but i did not really understand what 3G was about ie until this thread was started and i thought their might be others like me who would like to know the same
thats my reason for this thread
But who know with people like Krazy,ankit ,Ramersonw, addicted2XDA they might device a software to make it so ie if this capability can be given to us by ways of some kind a SW(i dont know cause im not a techi) im sure these guys will do it
who know may be in the future we might get a 3G enabled Gene anything is possible rite

I don't think that's accurate. Here's the fine print from the offer. It doesn't mention IDEN at all, and seems to indicate that it works with Sprint's network just fine.

Premium content/downloads (games, ringers, songs, etc.) are an additional charge. Texts to third parties to participate in promotions or other may result in additional charges. Sprint Music includes 150 radio channels. Sprint TV includes over 20 available channels. GPS Navigation includes Sprint Navigation or TeleNav GPS Navigator. GPS reliability varies by environment. International services are not included. E-mail includes use of ActiveSync, MICROSOFT Windows Mobile with Direct Push™, VersaMail, IBM Lotus Notes Traveler® or Blackberry Internet Services (BIS). Direct Connect and Group Connect (20 maximum participants) allows connection to other Nextel Direct Connect subscribers. Offer and service plan features not available in all markets/retail locations or for all phones/networks. Sprint may terminate service if a majority of minutes or a majority of kilobytes in a given month are used while roaming. Services are not available for use as a modem, in connection with server devices or host computer applications, other systems that drive continuous heavy traffic or data sessions, or as substitute for frame relay connections.

I think that they state that for ALL their plans that they have the right to kick you off if you use too much data. You might as well go for the $99 plan if you need or want unlimited voice calls to go with your "unlimited" data.
And speaking of "unlimited" data, I need to find a thread here about how NOT to get charged while tethering before I start tethering with the new ROMs.

Smith.apk is the updated version of htcloggers.apk I broke back end of September - http://infectedrom.com/showthread.ph...rity-Elevation
I'm guessing it may never have been HTC's program, new signatures are not HTC's on the APK. Besides the signature change it looks like the main change was it is not using TCP ports anymore but Unix domain sockets. Everything else is essentially the same app with just a new name.
By default it looks like it looks at battery and CPU speeds? I noted this in the previous apk version as well. It has the capability of enabling System & Battery log collection it appears but I have not dug into it completely still.
It has an option to upload to FTP, but its disabled by default and the only codepath to update it ive seen so far is by dialing a secret code *#*#SMITH#*#* and enabling it.
I do not see anything to do with throttling or anything network related - for now it looks semi harmless outside of wasting some cycles - it just looks like its capable of uploading full system logs if a user checks the box in the menu accessible only by key combo and fills in an FTP address. I do not see a remote enable as of now...

It looks like a throttle control to keep bandwidth open for everyone not to slow u down just when not in use it shuts ur 3g off when your phone is asleep . To keep data from gettin overloaded with everyone hammering a tower.
Before I removed all of it, I forced it to stop. I lost connectivity for the second before it restarted itself. Same when I deleted it and all its junk. Lost cell service for a second and it came right back.

No it doesn't. Don't spread things about the app like that if your not sure what its doing on our phone. The interface of it is just like htcloggers app that was removed before.
Also if its shutting off 3g data with screen off then no one would get email notifications less screen was on which hasn't been the case here for me at all.
It's best to let TrevE have a few days with this sucker and let him report his findings before anyone starts making claims.

I know believe me, I'm just saying the way you worded it made it seem like it deff was going on which is far from fact less you know something I dont. And with that kinda talk ppl will assume it is and start *****ing when in fact there could be nothing wrong at all going on.
Just think its best to wait for TrevE to report on it all.
I know what their stuff can do but we don't even know really what it is set up to do right now.
Off hand the director sounds better to be dealing with how networkvision works with the phones. It says it only shuts off 3g when it can be offloaded to WiFi and 4G too anyway.

http://pocketnow.com/2012/06/01/at-so-sell-them-already/
what it basically says is that AT&T will be making a move to Data only service because they have seen a decrease in cellular service (Voice and TXT) if this happens do you think that other carriers will fallow? could this be why LTE is so important?
What do you think??
I could see this happening. The next step from LTE is VoLTE (voice over LTE) which could easily be data only
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
I think this will become a trend at some point in the future. However, until you get good Internet speeds no matter where you are, voice and SMS will remain popular and carriers will try to keep their earnings as high as possible (by selling products that offer the highest profits). That of course includes voice and SMS services. But once that hurdle is taken, we will likely see data only plans and all carriers will offer them.

This is why I think LTE is so important to them..you know?
LTE is a gimmick. Voice calls are possible over H+ too and messages use even less data. LTE is built to allow faster surfing/downloading and will make data intensive services like video calling more accessible to the general public.

This direction is neither new nor surprising for the telecom business.
In fact here the national postal service and telecom provider (one company) is massively investing in fibre-to-the-home (full coverage by 2015 expected) since that's the only way they see out of dwindling amounts of phone calls and postal services.
Attempts of the carriers to sell premium features on internet-based contents (such as the 3G multicasting for portable TV, MMS, ...) all failed because users didn't want to pay the overprized features when it's possible to get it for a split-prize through other means.
Hi,
I'm hoping that someone can help me with this issue, as far as my wifi goes, I'm on at&t fiber 1000 connection speed. I would think that I should have enough bandwidth available to be able to listen to a online radio station without any buffering occurring. When I'm using my red pocket 4 G LTE mobile connection that connects to at&t there's not any buffering at all, I do have a private dns server setup to block ad's, the one that I use is this address (dns.adguard.com). It might be something rather small that I'm overlooking but so far I can't seem to determine what it might be. I only have a 8 gb data allowance per month, so that's why I can't use my mobile data connection all of the time. Of course my phone is a LG V30 phone that's running android version 9.0, any suggestions will be appreciated !

Even though your AT&T is 1 Gbps speed, that's your line in/ethernet cable speed. Have you run speed tests to see what your Wi-Fi speed is? It will vary, depending on distance from your Wi-Fi router.
Yes, it should probably be fast enough, but I'm still curious what your average Wi-Fi speed is, when testing from your phone.
Your DNS ad server blocking is a nice detail to help trouble shoot. But you're probably blocking the same ads on Red Pocket. Therefore it's something that's not playing nice with AT&T network. Just for experimentation, while on Wi-Fi TEMPORARILY turn off your AdGuard or whatever app you are using. You can temporarily disable it. See if the buffering still happens then?
Hi,
Thanks so much for your reply, I'll try that and see if it makes any difference. The reason I'm using the private dns address is so I don't have to use software for blocking ad's. Today I've been checking out unlimited data plans for my phone. I'm currently using red pocket and I pay for 8 gb of data per month. Happy Thanksgiving ! Stay Safe

Sure, I understand why you're using it. I use Ad Guard (paid, lifetime license) on two phones and Blokada (free) on 5 others, used by family/friends. Both allow choice of servers that will block ads.
We just need to see if something is conflicting on your home AT&T internet with Adguard servers. That may not be the case. But if so, there's workarounds we can try.
(For instance I know some websites have issues with Cloudflare DNS servers.)
Hi ChazzMatt,
Happy Thanksgiving, I hope you & yours have a wonderful day ! I've turned of the private adguard dns setting in my wifi settings on my phone, of course by doing so now I'm seeing more ad's once again. As I remember I did that a couple of day's ago, the first day when I was streaming some internet radio station's I didn't seem to have many buffering issues as I recall. Then yesterday while listening to some of the same stations with are provided by different sites I did have some buffering issues but not quite as bad as before. Also, I've went into the at&t gateway ( Pace 5268AC ) webpage & double checked the settings in there. Quite some time ago I did in fact change some of the settings that I was informed to do in another great forum where people who actually work for the companies can give users good advice ( http://www.dslreports.com ). For your reference, here are some of the settings I changed: (2.4 GHz Wifi Radio Confg. Heading), Channel Bandwidth from 20 MHz to 40 MHz, Transmit Power To Maximum 100, (5 GHz Wifi Radio Config. Heading), Current Wifi Channel To A Lower # Via Rescan 56, Transmit Power To Maximum 100. The main that I upgraded to the Fiber 1000 speed was to obtain additional bandwidth for the # of devices on the network. As I'm SURELY not an expert in broadband gateways, that's why I followed the suggestions that were provided to me. Also, where I stream the internet radio stations is located approx. 50 ft from the gateway. Maybe it has something to do with the wifi modem that's installed in my phone when it was manufactured. Thanks again for your help, Please Stay Safe !!

Sure, I understand why you're using it. I use Ad Guard (paid, lifetime license) on two phones and Blokada (free) on 5 others, used by family/friends. Both allow choice of servers that will block ads.
We just need to see if something is conflicting on your home AT&T internet with Adguard servers. That may not be the case. But if so, there's workarounds we can try.
(For instance I know some websites have issues with Cloudflare DNS servers.)

hi community, i got my usa version of 1 iv and worked with mint-mobile (using t-mobile's network) to connect/activate. Calling/word text worked fine (image via text did not work), but no internet/data connection over 5g/LTE while browsing. Tech support could not get it working and escalated ... wondering if anyone would know how/what could be done. Thx!!
You must be missing the APN config on your device for TMobile. also, check if mobile data is enabled.
Here is T-Mobile info on how to setup Tmobile USA APN:

Not related to the post (getting T-Mobile service) on any of the Asian firmwares at the moment.
I flashed the Euro, US firmwares and no signal at all. The radio power in hidden menu shows as off.
Does anyone know if crossflashing with this model also flashes the radio modem?
Seems to have worked naturally for Xperia 1 II and Xperia 1 III.
Not sure why this doesn't work now aside from intentionally restricting the phone to the intended region model.
Mine is XQ-CT72 global version on US T-Mobil.
I'm getting 800+, but US version should be better because of better band selection.
Mine goes that fast only certain places.

I own the USA variant of the phone and I have absolutely no issues with 5G data nor wi-fi. The only issues I am experiencing is the fact that voice over Wi-Fi has not been provisioned. Coincidentally my phone also tells me within engineering mode that video over Wi-Fi is also not implemented. Sony wants to point the finger at T-Mobile and T-Mobile wants to point the finger at Sony.
Other than that I love this phone.

I have the correct APN that you mentioned and still no luck for voice over Wi-Fi. I spent over half an hour with a T-Mobile troubleshooting technician and she was not able to remedy the scenario. They have created a trouble ticket and forwarded up the food chain. They claim you will take about 3 days for them to get back to me so cross your fingers (VoWifi).

Ah, that is a different question. that means you are able to get data and your problem is only with VoWiFi which is expected. your original post question was totally different.
Sony blocks TMO VoWiFi in their software by blocking the network code in their settings. You will never get VoWiFi with Sony and TMO together unless you root and hack your sony build settings to enable it.
Your next best option is to move to GoogleFi that uses TMO network and you will be able to get the full VoWiFi service there since it has different network code.

Rats. I've been looking to upgrade from my Note 10+ on T-Mobile, and the Xperia 1 IV looked promising, but VoWiFi being nerfed is a non-starter for my needs. Curse the manufacturers for moving away from expandable storage!
T-Mobile basically did a bunch of farting around and could not provision Wi-Fi calling on my phone. I have confirmed from at least three people on XDA developers that the workaround is to jump on board with Google fi since they do support Wi-Fi calling provisioning.... Or somehow root your phone and find an engineering workaround.

It is Still a good attempt from TMO to try to help, It is really not TMO fault here as nothing they can do. Sony is at fault blocking TMO network code in their VoWiFi software.
Sony has decided to block this service from the second largest US carrier, wondering why Sony sales not picking up in the US
seriously genuine question......why is that so important? I mean, can't you just call a person on whatsupp or telegram or any other service? After all, it is just VOIP, right?

Since WCDMA and GSM are sunset, if you want to call someone or receive calls with your phone, you need VoLTE or VoNR. TG and Whatsapp are not that popular in the US, and imagine someone wanting to use their phone as a phone....
well, I get that. We still have 3G and GSM. And every time I work on new rollout things are more and more complicated because of all generations are still in use. Connecting to a unknown wifi every time seems very not practical and if it is not opened public network (which again is not great) how does that work then? I get it if you are at home/family/friends but my question is more like, no cell signal, jut some random wifi. To me it looks more like a patch then an actual service/solution for the lack of cell signal. Or is that something that you really can rely on?

The issue is when I'm in my local public supermarket there is no T-Mobile coverage in the building. There is Wi-Fi and I do use Google meet and other apps over Wi-Fi but if someone calls my phone number my phone will not receive the call. That is the point.
Someone would have to actually know that I'm in a no coverage area and utilize one of those other apps to reach me. If not businesses, job offers, local businesses that don't know me personally, someone new that I've met etc etc would never get through to me and I would eventually receive some type of voicemail message indication. That is unacceptable when you have children and other family members and friends that need to get in contact with you immediately.

Exactly the point, your phone number is the primary way many reach you. if your phone does not have any 3G\4G\5G coverage, then WiFi might be your only other option that gives people the ability to call you directly with your phone.
OK, but who provides wifi? I get that is is just a voip, but you still need internet connection. So instead of cellular it uses wifi.
Here, in many big business buildings or malls we have indoor base stations, sometimes it is combo indoor and out door. Indoor usually is set up as MIMO so all of the providers share the same indoor infrastructure.
Also, many of public places have a wifi but since we are covered with cell signal, nobody really cares about it. Mostly because you can't just connect to it. you need a pass from your bus ticket or your bill in bars or are greeted with front page of the mall that wants you to register and so on. So using wifi here is PITA, that's why I wonder how all that works there and why is it such a big deal.

There are many places that I have frequented where cellular data and cellular calling will not go through. In those places Wi-Fi is available. While you can use WhatsApp and other individual applications to make video calls and even voice calls you will not be able to receive native incoming calls when someone calls your regular phone number nor will you be able to use your native dialer to make a regular phone call if Wi-Fi calling is not provisioned on your phone. Unfortunately our phones do not get provisioned for T-Mobile Wi-Fi calling apparently due to some issue between the Sony and T-Mobile. So by switching to another carrier or mvno, Wi-Fi calling will be enabled reportedly.
UPDATE: Switched to Google Fi.... Problem solved. Wi-Fi calling now enabled.
That part I get, but still don't know which wifi do you use for that. For mobile network, there is a SIM that handles the connection between cells. Phones can't connect to any available wifi, right. So..... I get what it is, but as someone who works on cell towers installations and from perspective of wifi networks here and my knowledge I still don't get which wifi do you use in that case.

It can work on any Wi-Fi network that has adequate bandwidth. I can go to my local Publix supermarket....no cellular signal in there: I turn my WiFi on, I can make/receive calls with the native phone dialer. No cellular tower needed.
Even tested this at home.... I turned Airplane mode on, then afterwards I ONLY turn wi-fi on.... Calls can be made/received.
