[Q] 3G to H bouncing, is it a radio problem? - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
I've got a retail, international Atrix (bought from Expansys) that came with Android 2.2.2. Now it is unlocked and I installed Cyanogenmod on it (therefore, Android 2.3.7).
I am located in Italy.
The Radio I installed is Orange France N_01.100.00R, that appears to be the best one for Intl. users with Gingerbread.
When I am on the home screen, is it normal to see the 3G icon becoming H and coming back to 3G within a couple of seconds?
When I use an application requiring Internet (e.g. Google Maps, Browser, ..), the icon switches to H and appears to stay in that state. When the application does not need the connection anymore (e.g. when the web page has been loaded), the icon flips back to 3G.
Is this a normal behavoir, or is this a Radio problem?

Yes it's normal for it to toggle between 3G & H, the H means high speed data connection, does it on my UK Orange Atrix all the time

Can you elaborate? I think I have OPs problem as well. The "toggling" is constant. Like every half second it will switch from 3g to h, while standing in the same area. Its not like a toggle that happens every 20 minutes as we move from one cell tower to another. You get that too?

I meant the same thing, the bouncing randomly happens in an interval between about a half second and less than ten seconds

fast-what? where is this option located and what is it needed for?

disabling fast dormancy is easier said than done on the Atrix.. use titanium backup to freeze modemfastdormancy_____ i forgot the end of it.. lol but yea freeze it and reboot

Ok I disabled fast dormancy (adb logcat confirms that). What is it for?
Anyway, the 3G/H flipping has not completely stopped,but it is more rare. A big thanks to everybody!

More than likely you are in a fringe coverage area. Really the only way that I can see you improving this issue even more is flashing a different radio to your phone, but that's not even a guarantee that it will truly fix things. It could also make things worse.
For what it is my phone switches from H to Edge in my own home at different points during the day. I've tried forcing my phone in 3G only, but all that did was drain my battery faster.
Bottom line - you could change the radio, or try to get used to it...

Possible to get Vibrant to display H instead of 3G?

I was wondering if there was something I could download, or something from the market that i could download that would make my phone say H instead of 3G? My vibrant is not rooted.
I'm wondering why... but there won't be an app to do that. The G E and 3G icons are held in drawables. So unless you make your own update.zip with replaces drawables, I don't that's going to happen.

Why do you want it to display that? The H is generally displayed when you're using HSPA/HSPA+. If you're connected t 3G it will say 3G. If you're connected to Edge, you'll get an E and if you're on the barebones cell network all you get is the number of bars you have.

I think he wants his phone to be like nexus one is, or other android phones are running custom roms, specifically cyanogen mod. With cm, it will jump from 3g to h icon quite often when data is used, does it to me in my area. I get hspa speeds here, but 3g is the only icon displayed. I like it this way more, the constant jump from 3g to hspa in notifications pane is annoying. Maybe he just wants people to see that his phone is on hspa and not 3g, because the icon doesn't change to that on stock rom.
I remember the first time my g1 said h... Had to call a buddy with a g1 and had to find an i*hone to make jealous...
Its worth bragging about...

Not true. I have a stock rom on my Vibrant and it does toggle between 3g and hybrid. It just depends on whether or not you have the new radios broadcasting in your area. Some markets have a lot of hybrid running, while many others have little to none. One of my best friends is an RF tech for T-Mo.
Haha "H" doesn't stand for "Hybrid"

No ****, Einstein! It stands for HSDPA, but ask any switch tech and he will tell you its hybrid. Right now in many markets, it is a true hybrid mix of HSDPA and 3g and not explicitly one or the other. Do some research before you criticize someone, retard!

I downloaded the user manual to the vibrant (not the one that comes in the box) and it definitely says that there is a 'H' icon. I wonder why they don't have it displayed when actually connected to a HSDPA+ connection?
This is the text next to the 'H' Icons:
Displays when the 3G+ network connection is active.
Displays when your phone is communicating with the
3G+ network.
What does it mean when there's just a G?
3G means 3G
E means EDGE

[Q] 3G only setting?

on my captivate i used to be able to set the network selection to use auto, 3G only and Edge. i dont see these options in wireless settings, i jsut see an option to select network. is there a way to set it to only use 3G?
No because the phone only shows either E for edge or H+ for 3G or HSDPA.
More than likely you could get an application from the market that lets you switch and see if that works, but.... what's wrong with the way it manages data now?

Newer phones are using "smart" radio management chips (or something like that). The newly released Thunderbolt is the same way. Which sucks because it was a good tool for battery management
it sometimes switches to edge and i wanted to force it to stay on 3G. my captivate would do the same thing and keeping it on 3G worked fine.
is there any hacks to add this setting?

Lol it switches to edge because you don't have a 3G ssignal; what else is it supposed to do if you don't have it?
You can choose (for throat part) to go down but you can't just magically get a better/faster signal.

Lol I think I should state this.
I understand what you're saying and I am not saying I think you're wring; on the contrary, I actually do that as well, however I move mine down to edge when I'm not going to be doing anything data intensive.
I was just stating what I said to inform people, just in case someone thought you could force 3G at ALL times, which isn't possible if you aren't getting 3G in your area.

i think you have to redo the setting when you reboot.
Edit: i just notice that it also changes back when i plugged it in overnight. is there a way to keep this setting permanently?
I too am needing to set my phone to connect to Edge only. I have 1 bar at the house when my network type is HSDPA. When connected to HSDPA at the house, with one bar, I constantly get dropped calls or my phone may not ring at all. If the phone decides to connect to Edge, which has a full signal, then everything seems to be a-ok. Most of the time the phone completely disconnects from all networks when it switches from HSDPA to Edge... not cool.
I can not get this sucker to connect to Edge only via setting the preferred network type to WCDMA. The phone will automatically set itself to GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) if I manually try to set WCDMA as the preferred network.
Rather annoying to say the least. ATT is the only carrier that has a full signal at the house. That's the only reason I that I signed up with them.

thats because wcdma is 3g only. you need to the GSM option, thats edge.

Fixing Signal Issues (3G/H Switching)

Hi
Does anyone know how to fix this issue? I am in a good area for signal and with previous phones am consistently on H. With my S2 it frequently switches between 3G and H even if it stays in the same spot. It will do it every few minutes.
This is causing havok when I try and tether and my Transformer and laptop keep getting signal interruptions.
Does anyone have a fix? I have Fast Dormancy disabled and I'm aware there may be some other engineer menus that have signal settings in that might work?
Thanks
Paul

Are you on GIFFGAFF as stated on you profile? or other network? cause I thought if might have do to something with vodafone..
Otherwise may be its something to do with the hardware settings, I too would like to know the answer

Now, for me wouldn't 3G and H/H+ both be considered as WCDMA under Mobile Network Settings? G and E would be GSM right?
If that is the case, staying on WCDMA wouldn't fix the problem.

Your phone shouldn't lock onto a H/H+ signal unless it has started to download data. That's how the protocol works.
If your phone is sitting idle it should be on 3G.
You should only get H/H+ when your phone is actively downloading.

No problems to report in Amsterdam.
I'm biking through the whole city to get to work, no disconnects using TuneIn or Google Music. Provider is Vodafone, HSDPA+ all along the way.
Its Android issue
Think when iPhone, Windows phones have not had this issue, wat else other than Android. I have tried 3 different handsets. 3 different network - 3, O2 and Vodaphone. All has same problem. Android is the only thing common. I have been scouring the internet and posted everwhere possible since Dec 2010 from when I became Android user. There is no solution. Everone seems busy making their own Android versions and apps. Result there is no basic data and voice stability on Android. Have been relying on my decade old treo to receive n make important calls. Wonder where this is going. My heart n soul seems to sway to the iPhone lately. Atleast wat they give works well.
Its Android issue
BTW those config settings are useless too. I have even used the code to get into hidden menu and change config but no use. It's the same issue. From H to 3g and from G to E I gsm.
Sorry for the question, but whats the problem with switching? I have the same thing but is not a problem for me.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Nobody should get worried about that switching, THIS IS NORMAL!
H/H+ is an high speed 3G protocol.
Basically:
1. 3G means DL 384 Kbps tops. The modem is under 3G signal most of the time. Whenever something on your phone starts checking/d-loading it communicates at THE BEGINNING under 3G protocol. Also, long ping time> 210 ms.
2. HSDPA max 14 Mbps/HSDPA+ can go as high as 42 Mbps ( topped only by cell tower). If there's need for large packet data or shorter ping time, IT AUTOMATICALLY SWITCHES TO H/H+(IF AVAIL). Hsdpa consumes more power and it's a communication protocol. When connected under H/H+ error correction bits are transmitted along data stream. It's like switching your home wifi on b/g/n. ...or like the automatic gearbox going to overdrive.
If you see a lot of this switching it means there's a lot of downloading/uploading going on.
I have it switching too between 3g and h on o2 and its making the internet so unstable you cannot do anything at all. This is certain not normal as the switch happens every second and continues to do so until phone is off
Mine is also switching to 3G once connection is idle for about 3 seconds. So far no problem and it uses less power than my SGS1 for browsing since my SGS1 doesn't switch to 3G when idle.
Mine is no problem between this signal switching, check your area or check your country maybe too much communication devices there so that's why it is distorted. Just use the common carrier with plenty of cell sites for a good signal of your phone.
What do i need to dial to fix it to 3g only from 2g?

My phone keeps changing back and forth from H+ to 3G

Does anyone else have this problem or is this normal?
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
it will only change to H+ when it is using data (depending on what ROM you are on). this is a feature that saves battery. If it keeps changing, your phone may be using data for apps or whatever.
Are you on the Stock gingerbread that came with the phone? need a little more info to really see if anything is wrong.
It will do this if you have background data and auto sync checked in your settings. Others will chime in and ask if your completely stock or what rom and kernel you're running.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
From what I have read, correct me if I'm wrong, this is due to custom ICS ROMs reporting you're data connection directly whereas stock GB wouldn't update as frequently.

I have seen this with all rome that i have used, stock kk6, also i have tried aokp and mystic rom as well as shostock which i'm running now. It does not seem to have any effect on the data performance but i'm just curious if this is something anyone has seen before with this phone. I am on straight talk though if that means anything however I do have an iPhone which i use also so that phone displays 4g at all times.

			
				
Question has been answered in a post above. It changes when data is being transferred.
personally i think it uses the h+ to get data faster then drops to 3g to maintain also saves battery like they said its nothing to worry about its normal

It is a battery thing but it will never use 3g for data unless there is no 4g network around. If our phones were on 4g all the time our battery would be dead in no time so it drops to 3g when its idle.
The actual ATTs roms keep the 4g symbol on constantly probably for marketing reasons. The switching between 3g/4g is how a rom really works, ATT just decided to hide it so they can look cooler with the "always on 4g" thing. That's my guess anyways.

What? For saving battery?
Wouldnt that double the use of battery power because the radio keeps switching from 3G to H+? correct me if im wrong because i thought staying at a constant Connection(IE:3G or EDGE) would be better on battery instead of it switching constantly
saw this link and i took in consideration that the tip for locking onto 3G would help

[Q] Phone Switching Between UMTS and HSDPA

Asit says in the title.This constant change between the two network types causes data to be slow and timeout quite a lot as well as drain battery. Even watching low quality youtube videos is impossible because of the switching. I'm on the current CM10.1 build right now. Is there anyway I can just stick to one network type instead of it switching every second? I've tried going into phone information and set it to gsm only, wcdma preferred, etc. But it also just goes back to gsm auto (prl). And finally the weird thing is that there will be moments of time where data can be consistent (for like 5 minutes) and then it'll revert back to being slow.
Ive read in older posts (early 2012) that going to build.prop and changing ro.ril.hsxpa or somethinf like that helps. I can't find that so I'm wondering if theres another way to keep it at UMTS or HSDPA and NOT have it switch.
I'm on the Wind Mobile Network right now with baseband 1.15 if that helps. (I'm also a noob who can just flash stuff and new to this phone so go essy on me ^_^)
They are the same network. The phone just switches from hsdpa to umts when data is not in use to save battery. But hsdpa+ is just a higher speed version of umts, just like edge is a higher speed form of gprs. So That is not what is causing the time outs. It's probably just had network where you are. Mine switches between umts and hsdpa+ all the time, and my connection never times out.

Yes I know they're supposed to switch but that's the thing; even in standby it keeps switching constantly almost every other second causing battery drain. And the reasn why I'd prefer just hsdpa is that data is consistent on it whereas umts just times out on me almost everytime or rather when the two switch. Is this just a network issue?
I think it is just a network issue, as with tmobile as soon as the phone calls for data, it goes to hspa and there is not lag when it switches.

Are you talking about the 1.15 version, cuz I've already done that and the problem persists.
Quick question, I've opened up BetterBatteryStats and over a course of 7 1/2 hours idle, under partial wakelocks, google checkin service has had 967 counts, alarm manager 723 and a couple days ago RILJ and sdio dmux were up there. The difference between then and now is that I've had wifi. Is that anyway related? I don't wanna give up hope on this phone because I like it despite its poor battery life and this radio

Quick question, I've opened up BetterBatteryStats and over a course of 7 1/2 hours idle, under partial wakelocks, google checkin service has had 967 counts, alarm manager 723 and a couple days ago RILJ and sdio dmux were up there. The difference between then and now is that I've had wifi. Is that anyway related? I don't wanna give up hope on this phone because I like it despite its poor battery life and this radio

I think you should download Greenify and hibernate your apps. That saves tons of battery. It looks like you're getting wakelocks which are causing the drain.
