In settings, about phone, status what does it say for you guys on three uk under mobile network type.
Mine would say HSPDA regardless of being on 3g or H, now though it constantly displays UMTS
Is that normal? Is it because I've flashed a custom rom?
And also I've noticed my data connection changes often from 3g to H.
Lastly in network mode do you guys have it on auto or WCDMA only.
Thanks
Well it will switch to 3g(umts) when there isn't anybdata being sent/received. When you need data it switches to h(hspa) so you get the fastest speeds.
This is to save battery life, so when you check in settings your probably not pulling data.
Try downloading something then looking.

Thanks for the helpful reply.
Another thing though, would it benefit me switching to wcdma only instead of auto,?
I've a Galaxy Ace flashed with CM7.2 RC1.
I always have the Wi-Fi turned on and also the Mobile Data, so when I'm at home I use the Wi-Fi connection, but when I'm out I have access to the Network Internet.
My problem is that my mobile is often marking the option "Use Only 2g networks". So mannualy I disable this option, but few minutes later the option is marked again...
Do you know why is this happening? Is really annoying cause when I'm out im just having 2g internet...
Note: In my GSM/UMTS preferences I'm current usin GSM/WCDMA (WCDMA preferred), but I also used the GSM/WCDMA (auto-mode), and happened the same.
Hi there,
i have a question related to internet speed
In setting there is 3 options for choosing internet data
- 2G only
- 3G only
- automatic
in my countries 2G is horribly slow
When i access to internet i change to ''3G only'' but the signals i receive can be 3G or H, i only want ''H'' signal not 3G because 3G is still slow for normal surfing!!!
how can i change to ''H'' only?
I have been watching for my 3G/H icon in CM7 and it seems Atrix uses 3G only for standby (maybe 3G mode drains less energy), when data starts to transfer it automatically switches to HSDPA mode. So you don't need to change it to HSDPA manually

Your phone should jump to HSPA if it is available, or else it will use UTMS.
Flash the latest radio. After that I can switch networks as I want.
You can not just change to H. Speed depends of coverage in your area. Phone will use the best and fastest available speed/network. You can force 3G but then with just 2G coverage your phone will be off line.

That's right. I can use just edge and it works just fine. 3g is not the best in my area. You cannot force H. Correct.
Depending on your Rom, when it says 3g, it will be because you're not using data at the time. Then when you're using data it switches to H. I say depending on Rom because for example, I'm running Alien, and it says H all the time.

I am using GIO as wireless access point for my notebook, but in 90 % of cases when I am calling someone or someone is calling me it automatically switches to 2G and of course dropping internet connection.
When using it as AP its always connected to charger.
There is no option in stock rom to make it stay at 3G , there is only option to force 2G.
Was trying to uncover "secret" menu using "any cut" application but no luck with it.
I am using stock 2.3.4 Android , was trying 2.3.6 but there is no option to force 3G either.
I saw there is such menu to force 3G on SGS2 / SGN but not on GIO
How can I force Samsung Galaxy GIO to stay on 3G while talking with someone ?
It could be that GIO not be able to hold both, 3G and phone connection at the same time if you calling some one...Im not sure

It could hold both at same time , because sometimes it stays on 3G when talking and using it as AP, so have internet and can talk normally, but there is some stupid default setting that tells GIO to switch to 2G most of the times.
Dial *#*#4636#*#* -> Phone information-> WCDMA only.

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

Try to change the network mode to GSM/WCDMA preferred.nd in ur area if there is no full coverage of hsdpa.then the network mode fluctuates to edge to hsdpa.so if u want nly 2g.then select GSM only.then the network wnt fulctuate to hsdpa.
if helped hit thanks
any other queries reply

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.
