When your provider does not offer 3g there is no way u can use umts mode bcos a 3g activated similar is a pre requisite!

Could you share a TUT bro?
Cant seem to find one anywhere (google + xda) :/
using andys rom.
Here u go guys its a very simple method ..
I have tested this on aircel and airtel but do not know about other providers and many rumors are saying trick in airtel is no more working..at present I'm using aircel and getting average speed of 430kb/sec using idm while tethering ..occasionally goes higher but never stays there ..
Points to be noted:
1)it is neccessary to have 3g coverage in your area.
2)it is adviced to keep balance below 10rs to avoid problems.
Steps :-
1)activate 2g plan ,like I have a 98 Buck plan for a month..
2)get the settings installed, for aircel apn is aircelgprs.PR
3)activate 3g .
4)now connect to internet using 2g!
5) u will get 'e' symbol on top..
6) now go to setting n select network type and select 2g/3g preferred ..
I use 3g only and haven't been charged till now ..
7) after a few seconds the 'e' symbol will change to' h' ie hsdpa ..
8) enjoy high speed internet..
***
For changing network to 2g /3g preferred, we have the network selection mode option in miks 6.5.8 ..if u r not using dis rom just untick the" use 2g only" option.
Or get the app named 'network'

Currently walking to the airtel shop :/
you should know that its already fixed by airtel in many areas, the chances of it working is very less
Im using airtel 2g sim, andhra pradesh, I have activated 98 internet plan,
All I need to do is to switch to wcd ma mode in network settings and voila I get descant spped of 1.3mb speed, I hv checked using speed test app

works with u ?
im already on a 3g plan, i will do it after 1 month..
u can try using a friends sim activated with 2g plan on ur phone
Right I got me a bit of an issue.
Dunno if it's been covered by someone already, but there's only so much the search bar can do from my phone.
I am using X10i I am on O2-uk
Even when I am sat next to someone that has full 3G signal, I am totally unable to get anything.
I've had this phone for just a year now an idea have never had a 3G signal. The best I can do is get H
The status bar claims to have 3G bit as soon as I try an use the connection, for ANY reason, it instantly switches back over to H
So basically my issue is........ WTF!?!?
Why not ant I connect to through 3G? And does anyone else have this problem? Is there fix for it? An app or something I'm missing?

The infamous "H" ...
From what I understand H is better than 3G...in fact its 3.5G! Increased download speeds when compared to regular 3G..
"H"is a good thing..
Sent from my X10 using XDA App
Really? If that's the case then I should have seen 3G at some point in the last year when I had worse signal???
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Nope. Afaik 3g depends on availability in your area. Not related to signal strength.
Sent from my X10 using XDA App
Yeah mate the h is for hsdpa which is, as said above, better than 3g.
Edit: if phone can't get hsdpa it will go for 3g. If it can't get 3g it will search for edge (will just have an e). If it can't get e then u need to stop living on mars as u ain't got no mobile internet.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
You can't really complain some people have issues even getting 2g while your having 3.5g
Sent from my X10i using xda premium
Ok
Thanks guys. I was under the impression 3G was better than H
Cheers for clearing that up

theoretical max for edge is around 470 kbps (bits not bytes). and you will get this speed if you have no interference and you are the only one in the entire cell using it.
so, whatever you do, you cannot improve the 2g speeds (to which you are hoping). maybe you can install a more optimized kernel which might get you a more better processing time.

When u uncheck 2g network, device have permission to use 3g network...so u definitely get 3mbps in 3g

Some network providers do not support this 2g-3g mod...like in my vodafone if i selects 3g,i dont gets network...the same may be on airtel...they provide speed according 2 ur plan so this trick won't apply for some providers...

I have had my Xperia ray for around a month now, and it's annoying me every so often the data connection seems to hang, the upload and download symbols near the signal strength just flash on and off and I get connection time-outs or sometimes it goes extremely slow like dial up speeds. Sometimes I attempt to reload the page and the data connection comes back to life, it's so annoying, especially when I am using it as a wifi hotspot on my PC. I am using the right settings, I am on T-Mobile UK and using the access point name general.t-mobile.uk. Prior to the Sony Ray, I had a Nokia 6700 classic which was totally faultless, so I know it can't be the network. I am currently using baseband 72 with JJDoctor's GBlite rom. I know it suggests using baseband 58 but it's just the same no matter what baseband I use or if I use ICS or Gingerbread. I really would love to get this data connection problem sorted once and for all, it's so annoying. Can anyone offer any suggestions?
I got the same problem, any solution?
Sent from my ST18i using xda premium
So it looks like I am not the only one. What baseband are you using?
Basebands 70 and up are ICS basebands so you will encounter probs when using them on GB the highest GB base band you can use is 66, use the search button I have explained basebands already . If you don't know what baseband fits your rom libs then post a question in your roms thread asking the dev what version it is based on and go from there and finally please post questions in the correct sections and don't junk up the dev section

I have the same problem, now i'm with jj 3.1 rom and 72 baseband, sometimes need to go in airplane mode then tne data connection restart, sometimes need to reboot the phone.
I've the same problem on Sony stock firmware, all version..
Guys are your network carriers making any improvements in your area's? If they are then that would cause your probs. The only times i have had any probs with signal is if I have had the wrong bb or my carrier has been upgrading their network that's it.

I have tried all the roms on my ray and never have any probs with my data connection and I do a lot of surfing and heavy downloading however if I use a different carrier then the data service is just slow and backs up even with hsdpa connection. My current carrier are fast reliable and never drop out on me. Devstaffandroid I thought you would know a lot more than me about this considering you are building a cm9 rom for the x8 ??

A logcat should show up your problems, have you pulled a logcat to see what your ray is doing?

Ok i've installed terminal emulatro, when i've the problem i make a logcat.
It's a problem when the phone goes to sleep. I have this problem all the time when tethering to my laptop. Unless my phone is awake (screen on) it doesn't loose connection. But soon as it turns off, BAM! Connection lost until I wake it up.

I have just put baseband 66 on my phone and I have made the phone work only in 3G mode in the mobile networks settings, up to now it doesn't appear to have the problem, I'll test it some more.

It's definitely the phone as you say. I had a Nokia 6700 classic and it never happened on that. T-mobile internet is spot on 99% of the time. Anyway, try what I tried, use baseband 66 and force your phone to stay in 3G only mode. It appears to work upto now.

I can't take my phone in 3g all the time because in some places of my city don't take signal and because if always in 3g my battery doesn't arrive at the end of the day...
Does anyone know a method just to stick with h+ data signals instead of switching to 3g.
Fyi in my area 3g reception is poor n always toggle between h+ n 3g.
The h+ signal is pretty good n it's enough for use also.
Therefore I thought if I can stick with h+ it will save my battery life.
Please comment your idea or solution.
Thnx in advance

You can only set your phone to your mobile providers Mobile Data capabilities. It is not something you can set to work at just h+... this depends on the strength of your carrier in the particular area you are at. Your phone will pick up the best signal it can. Mine also goes back and forth, depending where my location is... and the building structure I'm at (and how much interference there is between buildings, etc)... unless it's some hardware you can attach (like antenna on inside of back cover) to boost signal.
I remember for my S2 device... someone posted a way to just have a certain mobile data signal... but it didn't really work, just had the symbol, but obviously still can only get what my phone was able to pick up.
If someone else knows a solution I haven't heard of, would like to hear it.
Oh thnx.
Plus no one will try to create a mod to use the less power signal instead of 3g. So seems like this is it.
But my idea was if a developer can make a mod to stop looking for better signals after achieving h+ that's it.

When there no data transfer it will show 3g and when data is being used it will show h+ or h
