Hi there,
I have been wresteling with this problem for about 4 weeks now.
The 3G connects and DHCPs an IP address, but is unable to connect with any network.
I have tried different SIM cards, but the same problem persists. Sometimes it works very well, but most of the time it sends traffic yet does not receive traffic.
Sometimes it drops to GPRS when there is a full 3G signal from the same network on other phones next to me on the same network.
I have flashing many stock kernels/radios including the original that came with the phone. Still the 3G is next to useless.
The wireless and all other functions work well.
Has anyone had these problems with their i9100?
The network I use is Tele2 in the Netherlands (Its a virtual network on top of T-Mobile).
Regards.

Does anyone have GPRS working on Three UK? I think the issue is with the phone running custom roms, I think some of the settings have been tweaked, 3G still works, but GPRS doesn't when it falls back to that. Data does seem to flow back and forth, but never does a page load / email / push message arrive.
I had a bit of a nightmare earlier when wanting to use google navigation, and only having a non-working GPRS connection.
Any help would be appreciated.

Try flashing with a modem from another firmware.

GPRS or GPS? Three UK is a 3G network only, therefore you will never have GPRS only 3G H and H+
Its not the phone. Three UK data over 2g is nonexistent. You can check your account balance but surfing etc. may as well be off as it is useless. Three use orange for their 2g but data never works.
I'm seriously considering moving to giffgaff, only problem is I go roaming in southern Ireland and its free to receive calls on Three Ireland, there used to be three like home but not any longer.

I recently purchased an Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro phone (kenzo), it covers all the bands that rogers uses in my area in Canada, I believe.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogers_Wireless
I can connect with the phone on LTE, HSPA+ with no problem, if available. Sometimes, if I am in certain area's, the signal indicator drops to 3G .... it shows a decent signal, but no calls or data can go through.
In this example on the following chart, the first WCDMA connection,my phone only indicates 3G and I can not make a call or use data. When my call attempt is done, it goes back to LTE. Then I try again. Then for the second WCDMA connection on the chart, I am connected as H+, I can make a call and use data. Whenever this phone connects to CID 31072 the problem happens. When I connect to CID 31075, no problem. These are just examples of towers that I reach from my home. I get the same problem occuring other areas.
Any suggestions on what I need to change on my phone? Is my phone making a kind of 3G connection for some reason, which Rogers doesn't support? I have tried everything I can think of, Miui dev versions, CM13, LineageOS 14.1 etc, change Android Radio Menu settings, etc.
Nothing seems to fix this issue.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
I have been using Network Signal Guru, and have figured out that the phone will connect calls data on 3g if the band it finds is B5-850M .... if the tower tries to connect to is B2-PCS-1900 the call fails.
I tried to block the use of band 2 with Network Signal Guru, but it seems to still use it when it finds it.
I have since flashed a LineageOS rom and used the Network Signal Guru to disable band 2 WCDMA. The phone has not been experiencing the issue at all since. I am cautiously optimistic that I have found a solution. Still not sure why this band doesn't work here though.
I've had this problem since last few months, but since I'm always on 4g or 3g, I didn't bothered about it. But, now I'm using BSNL which doesn't have 3g coverage in ny college campus. And now this is bothering me since I can't even load my whatsapp messages or open any link. There's no problems on 3g and 4g networks. Also the 2g networks works great with calling but when I switch on my mobile data connection, it takes around 10-20secs to switch it on. Later, no packets are transferred from device and I can't use internet.
This problem started when I messed up while flashing and got my imei lost. I managed to get them back and have flashed the firmware multiple times since but this hadn't helped with anything. I had fp issues too but everything is solved except this no data connection on 2g.
So, please tell me if anything can be done or you did to get out of this situation.
Thanks.
Hi,
I have Asus zenfone max pro m2 phone with airtel sim. At my home, I get almost zero connectivity (both voice and data), all the time. It works perfectly fine in other places, but, I think it might not still be the best though, I do see some minor drops in connectivity every now and then, in other places too.
I placed the sim in another phone(redmi note 4g) at my home. It gets good voice and data connectivity (4g with decent speed). So I think the problem might not be with the sim. It should either be with the phone or something to do with airtel's cell towers.
I have attached the screenshots of phone information in both the cases (my phone with no connection and redmi note 4g which has good connection)
I think the reason might be either the phone has a bad radio/modem hardware or software. Or there might be problems with connecting to some cell towers. I think there are more than one cell tower nearby and somehow my phone is ending up not being connected to either(something to do with cell tower handoff!?). I sometimes see the phone getting connected to 4g/edge, but quickly drops. I do have JIO sim and it works fine. I have tried several things, both basic(switching sim cards, placing only one sim card, reset network, reboot etc etc.) and advanced(trying out different roms, locking bands with network signal guru), but no luck, anyone facing similar problem or has any solution? If its some kinda software problem, I can try flashing some software(kernel/modem?), I have my phone rooted.
Thanks in advance
Hi
Anyone having issues where Wifi-calling seems to be intermittent?
We live in an area supposedly blanketted by reasonable 5G connectivity inside and out however for some reason (multiple networks / multiple phones) the spot we live in specfically seems to be a little dead zone so i rely on Wifi calling to backup the signal and make sure calls are good.
On my S23 Ultra the symbol for wifi calling (the phone with a wifi signal above) tends to come and go throughout the day.
The quick-access button is lit and on regardless but the symbol just comes and goes all the time.
So it's hard to know whether it's just a display problem or whether it's actually dropping the feature randomly.
Anyone experiencing similar?
Whether the device is using wifi call is dependent on a few things:
1. Your carrier settings
2. The Network strength
3. The wifi strength
Its totally normal, that your phone switches between wifi call and volte, depending on the factors mentioned above.
Your phone automatically uses the best available route for your calls
Nothing to worry about
I think it also depends on the carrier to some extent. I have both a Vodafone and an O2 SIM in my phone with wifi calling enabled. They both have roughly the same signal strength (one bar), yet the O2 wifi calling is on permanently and the Vodafone tends to come and go.
Workaround to prioritize wifi calling over mobile network?
Hi, canadian s23 ultra on telus provider , that block the option to prioritize wifi. So even if sometime I got mobile network, it kicks me out from wifi, but still the signal to weak to make any calls... I've called the tech, and this is a...
