I have one x10 mini and one motorola flipout. The flipout is able to get HSDPA network but the mini is unable to get it. I tried restarting data transfer and also the phone but no help. Please help me
More info required:
- model of phone (does the phone have the right bands for 3G where you are?)
- service provider
- do you have your APN settings correct?
- is 3G enabled in your network settings?
- are you in a marginal signal area?

I am having a problem connecting to my 3G (HSDPA) with my Vibrant. My phone company is using 850 and 1900 (Bell Mobility). I have been at this problem for days now and am running out of places to look so I thought I would write down a list of what I have tried and see if anyone out there can suggest other things to check/fix. The first problem is that I am not sure when I lost my 3g as I was using WiFi as default in my home while rooting with the SuperOneClick. After rooting I installed the voodoo lagfix with a little bit of trouble so that may be where the problem lies. However, since then this is what I have done....
-Factory reset and wipe cache (didn't fix problem)
-Check APN Settings
APN - pda.bell.ca
Proxy - web.wireless.bell.ca
Port - 80
MMSC - h t t p : / / m m s . b e l l . c a / m m s / w a p e n c (spaced only because I cant post links yet)
MMS Port - 80
MCC 302
MNC 602
APN Type - Internet + mms
All others set to none or blank
-Check Flight Mode (disabled)
-Check Data Network Mode (on long power button press) (Enabled)
-Thought to try other roms, installed Darky's Ressurection 9.2, still no 3G
-Installed seeArms v0.4 with JL2 modem as that was what mine was stock. No 3g
-Entered *#0011* in Dialer to access Service mode

Verified that I have both the WCDMA 850 and 1900 freq turned on

UMTS : HOME(CS+PS) <---Not sure if this is correct?
WCDMA Switches between 850 Band 5 and 1900 Band 2??

I dont know what other pertainent information would be needed but if your willing to help and need other info I will gladly look it up. Thanks in advance!
are you sure that you have a 3G coverage in your are?

I am sure. I live in an urban area and have had no problems with nexus one before the vibrant.
I actually resolved the problem. I went into the bell mobility store and they put in a new sim card and refreshed my data package and everything was fine. No idea why this happened but it's all good now.
Thanks for your interest in helping!
Did you ever have 3g on your vibrant?? If you are not on the tmo network you will not get 3g only edge. Just like you can't use an unlocked iphone on tmo with 3g. Just like any phone really. Except you can use tmo vibrant on ATT with 3g. But can't use the ATT captivate on tmo 3g.

I did have 3g for the first day I had my Vibrant until I started modding it. Like I mentioned though, 3g has been restored after a new SIM card and a refresh to my data package from Bell Mobility.
I will say though, that the 3g service I am getting is by far superior to what I had on my Nexus one with any radio I tried using. I am working in a very remote location in northern Alberta now and still get 3g
Now if only we had a stable and complete version of CM7!
Hi, I have a xperia mini pro(sk17a) and my problem is that the 3G don't work in my cell phone, I was reading ont the internet and maybe my cell phone doesn't support 850Mz band(I am from Peru and 3G works in 850mz).
Is there any solution? or maybe there is any way(software) that my cell phone can work with 850MZ
Settings - wireless and networks - mobile networks and check if there is 3G chosen. If yes and phone doesn't use it, then maybe no 3g in your area.

The question is, if topic starter means internet connection or 3G signal.
Which phone do you have, Sk17i or Sk17a? Both are Xperia Mini Pro, but have different 3G bands. You can check it in Settings - About phone and there is model number.
the problem is that when I activate the enable data in my cell phone(to use the mobile network to connect to internet) I only see the letter "E" that means 2G(Edge) and never appear "3G" or "H"(HSPA), and I Know that the problem is in my cell phone , because I have other cell phone that can connect to 3G without any problem but my xperia mini pro "SK17a" cannot.
for this reason I think that the problem is my cell phone don't support 850 band
I know some samsung galaxy phone have the same probleme ,don't support 850 band , and they can change their modems to make the the cell phone could support 850 band. but I don't find a modem for the sk17a with android 2.3.4.
features of my cell phone
-xperia mini pro sk17a
-network mode wcdma(preferred)/GSM
-android 2.3.4
-baseband version 8X55A-AAABQOAZM-203028D-58
-compilation number 4.0.2.A.0.58
-type: AAD-3880104-BV

mine is sk17i
Sk17a supports 3G 850 MHz band, so it has to be another problem.
Settings-Wireless and Networks-Mobile Networks - Mobile operators
Can it find your operator's 3G network? If yes, try to manually register it, just click on it. If not, then your phone cannot find it. My LWW doesn't always connect to 3G, if it isnt strong enough.
I have same problem(sk17a). My other device working 3G.
What the defference between "3G" and "E"DGE?
Just speed only?
Did you find a solution?

Hi, did you find a solution? I have exactly the same situation and I don't know what to do. I really appreciate if you could help me!
I know this is a old thread just wanted to post this link if the problem isn't solved yet,

Flashing sk17i baseband might solve your problem
You might need to fix your APN settings, which are located at Settings- More- Mobile networks- Access Point Names. Google your carrier and APN (for example, "ATT APN"). I came up with a couple of different configurations which I saved in separate APN names and played with them until I figured out what worked best for me. Hope that helps you out.

HI, I am a lucky (for now) owner of OPX.
I have problem with network switching. Iam living in small village and i have to use network roaming (yes, i can use others providers network as well for free - in my country).
I'am in P4 network(base/mother network), but in my village there is no good signal for this network - so, i just using another one - usually PTC 3G because this network has best signal in my area.
I have few android phones in the same network (P4) and when i select network, phones do not switch to any other network - even if there is no signal of this network (Nexus4, Nexus5, Sony Xperia Z and CAT S40).
With OPX its different, and very problematic. When i switch to PTC network, it works and not switch to any other network until i left the phone and let it for sleep... (5-10 min) then network switch to the base network P4 and ussually there is no signal in this network, and i have to wait until i can make a call or send SMS message. I dont have the problem with any other phone. I see, that the problem intensifies in specifed room, where is Wifi(dualband) router - but not only. I suppose, its software problem.
EDIT: Switching to P4 network happens when phone screen is off and phone is in idle, after turn on the screen and waiting few seconds, phone ussualy connecting to PTC netwok with good signal.
Screen with bad signal: 1drv.ms/1JmvSU1
EDIT2: I found another freaky thing, after while of phone IDLE, iam turning on screen, and there is full P4 signal, after 1-3sec freeze (yes, freeze, laag) signal agin is 0 and i can enter phone PIN code to unlock.
And there is my question, how to make this works well ? Is there any way to force select only one network ? (i dont need switchning). Maybe can i do this with root privilieges ? I hope, you can help me guys.

Hi am Haruna from Ghana.
I bought Alcatel Ideal 4060a (AT&T) model a couple of months ago, but problem is that the network doesn't change at all its always at 2g/EDGE no matter what i do or which network i put inside the phone.
Am currently using MTN (Scancom) which is a 4g Sim card and the phone is unlocked to any network.
And there is no option in the settings that you normally choose from your preferred network mode.
So i stated googling for the solution when i came across this code (*#*#4636#*#*) which i can use to change my preferred network, but whenever i change it, nothing happen, i mean nothing at all, all it does is that, when i select "only WCDMA" i will not get service/network, when i select "LTE only" no network, the only thing that work is GSM or WCDMA preferred.
So guys i urgently need your help as am getting frustrating by this phone.
E/GPRS is slow max u can get is 28KiBps, switch to 3g or 4g, it also depended on your att network coverage, Are you living inside bunker?
