Hey Guys
I rooted my SGS2 yesterday, using Chainfire post, and noticed that i have lost the HSDPA signal that i got before. I have reflashed the phone back to the stock firmware and i still dont pick up any 3g or HSDPA. My download speed via network is shocking, something like 40kbps. Is there something that i need to change to get back on to HSDPA?
Thanks for your help.
I had this, i am on t-mobile (uk) and the phone had connected to the orange network sicnce they now share netowk. Reconnected to t-mob and was then fine, hth.
Thats right... t-mobile (uk) on orange network only does 2G..
Going back to OP... please check the APN settings...by default it might had got reset to GPRS settings...
If in UK..which network are you on...?
i have no clue about APN settings on other countries..
Sweet! It worked a treat! Thanks buddy.
Yesterday i recived a replacement phone from asurion, when i got it and after it was activated i let it update to 4.0.4 and then i rooted it. As soon as i got the phone i put it on wifi, this should have been said first, do i have no idea if my lte worked before. I didnt notice untill i tried to launch pandora at work this morning, in info it shows i still have the lte baseband, i did swap from global to lte/cdma and that didnt help. I used *#*#4636#*#* to change through all the service modes and onl cdma only and evdo only work in cdma i have 1x service and can call and txt people in evdo i have 3g but can only use the internet. Also i used razrs edge to root.
Any ideas?
Note in 3 hours if i have no reply ill flash back to 2.3.6, where it was when i got it, and try again with no wifi so ill know if its hardware.
This may be a bit of a noob question but I'm new to HTC.
I've imported a DNA into the UK and I'm using my UK SIM without any problems, the only question I have is in the network selection, does anyone know if I should use "Global" or "UMTS/GSM" settings?
I've put my APN settings in for my network and the phone is showing the "H" symbol next to the signal which makes me think I'm getting HSPA but the data speeds seem really slow and I'm unsure if I should change the network selection. There aren't any CDMA networks in the UK or any 700Mhz LTE networks.
Thanks!
I would use GSM/UMTS, but if you are getting an HSPA+ signal than you should be fine on Global.
Can you help me though. I too imported the DNA and I'm using it in London. However my Google Play Store is not working properly. I only have access to the Apps category. I can't access the Music, Books or Movies storefronts even when using their respective apps.
Is yours the same? Can you try it with both your SIM in and not in please. At the moment I haven't got a EE micro SIM to test if my problems are due to a lack of SIM card. So I'm only using it on WiFI.
Thanks.

I've tried accessing Play both with my sim card in and sim card out and it's working fine, just for the record, I'm using a 3 UK sim in the phone and I've not had any problems whatsoever, just as I said, my data speeds seem a little slow compared to what I was getting with my Galaxy S3 with the same sim in it.
The reason mine may be working without the SIM is because I'd already set up Play with the sim in when I got the phone so it's still active without the sim inside. Ur play account may not properly work until you put a sim in the phone.
Hope u get it worked out!
Thanks for the response mate. I will try and get a sim tomorrow to test. One other question, are your app prices in USD$ or UK pounds £?
In regards to your situation I believe that the Droid DNA only supports upto HSPA 14.4 Mbps not the 42 Mbps service on GSM networks so that may be why your experiencing slower speeds.

Ahhh, ok, looks like I'll have to put up with it then, it's not too bad, just noticeable from the speeds I was getting previously. As for the Play issue, I'm getting everything in £ values, if I had to guess I would assume that the phone is recognising the sim as UK originated or that my google account is registered as being in the UK so it's showing me the UK Play store.
The entire Play interface (Apps, Music, Books & Films) including pricing is exactly the same as it was on my Galaxy S3 that I got on contract from 3 but like I said, I put my 3 sim in straight away and it was all fine.
I'm sure once u put a sim in you'll be ok, the phone probably isn't recognising that you're in the UK without the sim card I think. :silly::silly:
Let me know how you get on once you put a sim in it, us UK DNA owners gotta stick together haha
All working. Thanks man.
All the hassle I went through and it was just because I had no SIM lol!
HI
Been looking for some info for ages I am on EE and have ordered a DNA but I am a bit worried if I will get any sort of 3g/hs speeds. I can still cancel the phone but need to know before Tomorrow if this will work for me as there is no point if I can't get any mobile data with this phone.
Has anyone got any info that can help me, EE has a 4G network which is a bit patchy for 4g round here but does work, I am guessing this phone won't work on the UK in 4g, but as I said above as long as it works 3G or HS+ then I will be happy, anyone put my mind at rest lol.
Oddly enough, my sim tray will only work with only one sim. And unfortunately, it is a broadband sim. Where I can't text and call. When it comes to regular sims, it would do say 'no SIM card.' Does anybody know what to do? Thanks
I am having the same kind of issue as well. I have a att i717 on stock 4.1.2 no root and sim carrier unlocked. Actually I have 2 EXACTLY the same, the one I've been using for 6 months with a cricket sim card have had no issues. With this 2nd i717 that I got yesterday, its now sim unlocked not rooted on 4.1.2, just like mine, my cricket sim works in it just fine but my sons metro pcs sim doesn't. My goal is for my son to have the exact same phone as me but with his metro pcs sim. Any help please? My son goes back to his moms tomorrow night and was really hoping he can go back with his big o phone working with his metro pcs sim.
Now I'm soo broke I can't even pay attention!
[SOLVED]
Everyone, after months of waiting and keeping it in stock condition, my sim is now working. After playing with sim tray, I solved it. Just keep the metal frames up, all the metal frames.
I thought I'd share this deal I found on eBay, I bought one a few weeks ago but unfortunately I don't get it for another month, since I live in mexico and a family member has to bring it to me, but I think for $260 its an awesome deal
Here's the link http://www.ebay.com/itm/191516989450
Also i wouldn't hesitate to long, they had this deal a few weeks ago when I got mine and it only lasted a few days.
Edit: it's at $250!
Thanks for sharing, please let us know when you get the device.
does this version work with T-Mobile HSPA?

I'd look for T-Mobile HSPA bands and look what bands this device supports, I think it gets LTE as well
I ordered one and got it already.
Works great on t-mobile. 20 megs down!
Only problem I am having is that I have been unable to update to lollipop.
This is most likely due to the fact that I have a t-mobile sim in there instead of an AT&T one

I think it's because the update rolls out in waves, a lot of people still haven't got it
I order one just now. Its now at $250. I will be using it on T-mobile. My main is the Note 4.
just made a thread with a questiong about this i hope they delte it now but i am ordering one of these now and was wondering about the tmobile situaton as well.. Will i get the update to lolipop with a tmobile sim? also will i still have fast lte speeds? im getting like 50 down in lansing and detroit area . The reaso i ask is becasue i found this post on amazon in the coments
CONS for T-Mobile users! And these are Deal Breakers for me.
* 4G LTE is ultra SLOW! While the symbol shows 4G LTE, the speed is just good 3G speeds. My max was 5 to 6 Mbps down and about the same up. Compared to my S2 and S3 on the exact same spot on my desk, get 15-20 Mbps on the S2 and 25-30+ Mbps on my S3!
* Hotspot feature will NOT work on T-Mobile. This has been confirmed by me calling AT&T, T-Mobile, and Samsung support lines. If you need your T-Mobile hotspot service, then this phone is a no go. (NOTE: the XDA forum and other sites have a hack that requires you to root the phone and then do multiple steps each time you want to enable the hotspot, this is a deal breaker for me

The guy on post #5 says he is getting 20mbps down? Well, this will be my secondary phone. I will be testing out the speed and will post back here.

this will also be my second phone but will be sharing sim card time with my moto x second gen... Do you think we will still get the 5.1 ota update with a tmobile sim?
You don't know how lucky you guys are, here in mexico it's rare for me to see 1MB/S, I almost always average 300KB/S, and that's on H+, I'd love to have 5 MB/S

I was just looking around XDA, it says you will NOT get the update with a T-Mobile sim card,because it has to connect to its servers, and it won't allow a T-Mobile phone to connect, maybe you can update with Samsung kies, I'm going to have my brother update mine before I get it.

If you know someone with an att sim card have them put it in, update it, then take it out, or maybe even get a prepaid sim card
Edit: what if someone extracted the update, then we just manually install

I edited my last post, if someone nice enough on XDA extract the update for the ATT model we can manually flash it, since root isn't required to flash ota updates

I Need help.
I put my T-mobile nano sim in. The phone call work. At first my data (saw 4G LTE) work. Now it doesnt work anymore. I try to access webpage and it say no data service. I have it on data roaming and it say T-mobile. What other settings to modify and verify?
Thanks!
Edit - Got it working after following a APN setting from my real Tmo phone and just type everything in this phone and now I get data. I am getting 4G LTE icon.
