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.

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?
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 all,
i plan to buy a mozart but i am wondering if i can put it permanently into 3g signal. we have 3g here in our location, i have an android and i put it permanently to 3g, when i tried mozart, it does not have feature, it just has dual band, so it switches to 2g everytime which i found frustrating. this is my only gripe with it. is there anyway to set it to 3g?
thanks!
Yes it does have 'Permanent' 3G, just like the iPhone, it has a option which you can turn on in the settings, i also hated that Android did not have a 3G switch either!
it says in the settings "when available" do if there is no or weak signal, it reverts to the 2g signal. i want it to be 3g everyday.

Simple. Just go into phone dialer, key in ##3282#
then goto/tap on ... at the bottom on the right hand side. Under 'settings' you'll find the menu to change it whether 'automatic', '2g only' or '3g only'.
Good luck.
hi guys,
I am living in area, which have very poor 3G connection, so i am looking for method to limit the arc to use only 2G connection. Is there any application or a way that Arc only use 2G network? SE has somehow changed the default "Mobile Network" in settings, it is only possible to choose "only 3g" but not "only 2g".
I have an unrooted Arc with android 2.3.3.
In the Phone application, dial *#*#4636#*#*
Go to phone settings, and under network type select "GSM only", that should do the trick.
You might want to try "GSM Auto (PRL)", if 3G is indeed very poor, the phone should (in theory) not use it in your area, but it would switch to it when you go to places with better coverage.
This is not the Q&A forum! Or you don't care guys?

Sorry, when i made this thread, i thought i had to post it here, because it has something to do with application. But now i think, you are right, i should have posted it in Q&A. It seems that your Arc is branded by "3". I am living in Denmark, my Arc is also "3" branded. They have horrible connection in DK. I think you do not have this poor 3G connection problem, because you might have flashed with the generic rom.
Hi All,
I just got the international Z5c, model E5823, which supports both tmo us LTE bands in my area (bands 1 and 12). When I have preferred network type set to 3G, I get more bars and have data connectivity. When I switch it to 4G, the bars go down to 1 or 2, and I get no data.
I did a logcat while switching from 3G to 4G and noticed that while switching, the icon switches between H+ and H, then eventually drops out. I'm still trying to see if there is anything useful in the logcat, but the one thing I noticed that seemed interesting was
Code:
D/StatusBar.NetworkController( 2598): updateIconSet, voice network type is: 13/LTE, data network type is: 13/LTE
To me, this looks like I might be seeing issues with some failed attempt to use voice over lte (as this phone supports it).
Regardless, does anyone know how I can disable voice over LTE? There was an option in the phone menu on the Z3 supposedly that would let you toggle, but I don't see it anywhere on this.
I'm going to be cross posting this in the sony forums as well, so if I hear back I'll post here.
Fixed it. I turned it onto 3g and selected "Internet settings" from the networking menu, which seems to have downloaded some configuration stuff from my carrier. After switching back to 4g I have fully working data.
