4 things did you mess with the prl? What rom you on? Also software you running 2.17 or 2.08 ? You cdma or gsm ?
On cdma try a handsfree activation if your stuck in 1x hell .
Reaper midnight blue .
i haven't messed with anything, same prl and im on stock rom 2.3.4 the 3g logo is showing most of the time on my phone but the internet is really slow or not working

Welcome to Sprint, where 3g speeds are slower than dial-up.

Go to settings, phone update, and update profile. This works sometimes. The alternative to do a hands-free activation like reaper said which requires you to know your msl and go into EPST.
I just noticed that here at work today and over the weekend i know someone else who was complaining to me about this as well, except he called sprint and they said they had a tower down near him for a few days as they upgrade it to lte.
But it could also be software related too as mentioned before.

Use msl reader from the market to get your msl
Mines the same way.. I live in Rhode island.. I always have3g I get 4g most of the time to but last few days have been horrible..

the speeds were fine before thursday, i was getting 500kbps-1.5kbps. im gonna call and ask to see whats going on. I know my msl, what can i do with the msl??
You could see if you are getting rev a in the data status ##33284# and/or do the reactivation thing with your msl and ##72786#, reset.

Hi all,
First time poster, long time follower!!
I'm hoping someone can help me here because i have a real headache with my galaxy s2.
When i got it at Christmas everything was perfect. But two weeks later i suddenly lost my 3g. Phone works fine on 2g (except for the slow speed), but i contacted my carrier 3Ireland and they said everything is fine on their end. My APN is perfect, i've tried toggling airplane mode, entering codes, data package checks. You name it and i've tried it.
When i force my phone to select 3g it looses all signal and i have to restart my phone and quickly go back into settings to choose 2g or i will loose signal again.
This is the following on my phone.
Android version 2.3.5
Baseband version I9100XXKI4
Kernel Version [email protected] #2
Build number GINGERBREAD.XWKI8
I've being reading about modem/radios lately, is that just the baseband? Could that be my problem. I'm a noob at this kinda thing.I just want my 3g to come back.
All help is greatly appreciated. Look forward to hearing from you all.
Thanks.

It would be interesting to know your SGS2 is white version as well as mine.
I have to say that I have another SGS2 but old black version which is perfectly functional on the same 3 network. After playing a very long times with both phones settings, I have a feeling that the core of the problem lies in the "APN type" setting. Changing it's content affects how it connects to network. I have no deep understanding of what is happening behind the scene while changing this option, but there is a possibility that the portion of file system responsible for it somehow been damaged.
It would be great if the developers could tell us if this part of the Android file system is changed while flashing different firmware/radio, or it is persistent?

Dial *#*#4636#*#*, go to phone information and see the settings for the radio. It should be at the bottom. Google the settings for the GSM, WCDMA. Mine is currently 'GSM auto PRL'. 'WCDMA Preferred'is also a better option for 3G network.

Thank you. I fiddled with GSM, WCDMA settings as you said, but no luck.
What is even more interesting is if the network mode is set to "WCDMA only", then I'm not even able to register on 3 network. After an attempt to manually connect to 3 via "Network Operators" menu, it says "Unable to connect. Try later".
Also after connecting via WCDMA, and then reverting back to GSM, the GSM dies as well. The only solution is to restart the phone.
If it is a software bug, then I do not understand why this problem did not go away after flashing different Rom with radio.

T-Mobile USA?
If yes, you're probably in a market that they have not yet re-farmed the 1900mhz frequency for HSPA+ yet. The i9100 doesn't get 1700mhz, and the majority of T-Mobile USA's network uses the AWS band, which requires both 1700 and 2100mhz to work for 3g/"4g".
hi all,

That is not true, if you deleted some of the system apps then the update should fail. Also, in the case i'm wrong and it will update, you will lose your root and will get the bloatware back.
flash the stock rom from this thread > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1308078

thx guys. So I tried the update and it just stays on a black screen with a green x in the middle like the clockwork recovery mod x. No progress bar or anything. I let it stay that way for 17 minutes then finally I decided to pull the battery. when it came back on it prompted me to install the update but I hit later.
I only uninstalled lookout, more for me, tmo mall and visual voicemail (so far).
Should I just forget about it? I was looking forward to this to help with the shoddy service in my house

why not just flash the stock rom with new kernel then remove what ever you like? the new kernel is the ota wifi calling update, the kernel flasher only takes seconds and then just wait for the phone to boot up after flashing rom. Dont forget to backup.
Edit: oh ok lol and fyi if you dont want to flash new kernel then just flash xboarders 1.5.1 quicksense rom, he already has wifi calling included in there. Good Luck!
HTC Amaze Rooting Problem
Hi,
I am quite new to Andriod and just trying the rooting for the first time.
I have HTC Amaze 4G on Mobilicity in Canada.
I was trying to root my phone. My attempt was failed in the stage of unlocking the bootloader,
I was following the instruction on HTCDev site
I successfully retrieve the token code. However, When I enter this token to HTCDev site it gives me following error.
We're sorry, but it appears your attempt to unlock the bootloader on this device has failed. This could be caused by several factors including simple errors in the entry of the unlock token, problems with your device, or a lack of manufacturer support for the unlocking process. Please see the specific error code listed below, and try again if necessary.
I checked everything...token was copied properly, I checked there is no additional space.
Can anyone suggest me any other procedure to root my phone?

I'm a total noob so take my reply with 2 grains of salt...
But I read on the rooting thread that aparently the problem is (at least with Telus users) that since HTC Dev added the Tmo amaze to the list now the Telus get CID errors since they are in the "wrong" country.
May be that is what is happening to you too????
You can read more about it in that thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1324177&page=25 just look around there and see if it applies to you too...

I do have a noob question...
Can somebody explain briefly how/what is this wifi calling?
Is it something just for the US?
I live in Costa Rica and I used to use Skype on my previous Windows mobile 6.5 phone but now on this Amaze I found that my Service provider is blocking the Skype connection through 3G so I'm wondering if wifi calling is something I can use for cheap international calls.

Wifi calling is a built in feature for the Amaze that lets you use your wifi signal as reception in cases where your cell phone reception is horrible.
So you can basically make calls over a wifi network.
Unless you're with Tmobile specifically and register a 911 address (depending on plan calls made from your 911 address will not use minutes) calls made over a wifi network WILL use your minutes.
Wifi calling won't let you make free calls.
There are other programs for this.
I'll search some threads to find it for you or maybe someone else can suggest some "calling apps" that utilize wifi networks and doesn't use minutes.
I remember reading about a couple of apps that lets your make international calls for free by using wifi.
I forget the names though as I don't have a need for those apps.
Hope this helps.
There is nettalk in the market

Wifi calling is basically Skype except it goes through TMOU routers, it's otherwise known as VOIP. Sometimes I work out of the house and in the lower level where I have my office the TMOU service stinks, maybe 1 bar, the calls break up, you know the drill. I installed Crackeyes rom with wifi calling enabled so know it connects to my wireless router and is pretty sweet, calls sound better & I don't have to worry as much about breaking up. But it's not totally smooth sailing, sometimes the connection is for lack of a better term weird with lots of artifacts, typically the other party will say something and when I call them back it's better, sometimes a reboot of the phone helps, not sure why.
I'd be interested to know how this works internationally as well. Of course it's not going to give you any benefit on a 3/4g connection that's not the point.

How did you fix it? I have exactly the same problem - since yesterday I have the H+ icon, but the speed is improbably slow. I tried deleting APNs, flashing different radio and three different ROMs. What's more interesting, it happend out of nowhere - everything was working fine and suddenly I couldn't connect with Facebook or anything else. Speedtest show that something is actually working, because it pings the server.. Forever. And then it does the test and stops it due to internect connection failure.
Any ideas?

Turned out it was a fault with my Network, the towns exchange was down or something so everything was being routed through another towns exchange. The call quality and Internet speed was slow because there ended up being too much traffic going through one exchange
so my friend at work has the HTC one for tmobile, always had service here.
then today he has NO reception OR service at all, cant even call 611, shows bars with a "X" over the bars as if there isnt a sim in there, but doesnt show the SIM icon on status bar, i put his sim in my nexus 4, worked fine, and my sim in his phone and IT DIDNT WORK
i had him wipe everything and reflash his rom and that didnt fix it.
hes going to reflash everything back to stock
but i was just wondering if anyone had an suggestions ????
so far we reflashed the rom, tried changing FAST.tmobile apn to epc.tmobile to see if that would have any effect but no.
tried changing from cdma/gsm/lte to cdma/gsm only and didnt work as well
THANKS IN ADVANCE!
Did he pay his bill...? Nvm I see his SIM worked in your phone
You do know, that it's fast.t-mobile.com (with the hyphen) right? If he recently changes apn's and forgot the hyphen that could be an issue.

Sounds like hardware - time for a warranty replacement.
Was this bought from T-Mobile.. or from a private seller, who may have stopped making his payments, making the phone itself blacklisted (thus not affecting his SIM card)
apn did have the hyphen
he bought it off craigslist 5 months ago, he just called tmobile, turns out it was an unpaid phone from the previous owner :/
Sucks bro.
I bought the handset in UK and everything works fine except I cannot get the mobile data to work. I have a good reception, the handset shows 3G but no arrows to the side of it. I have changed the APN settings to my network (Talkmobile), switched on mobile data etc. but still no mobile data, please help.
when my phone dropped to 3g the internet didn't work either here in Ireland on 3 mobile.
4g would rarely stick, just putting the phone in my pocket sent it back to 3g.
this is most likely a hardware problem not software.

Thanks, but I've never got mobile data to work at all, the APN settings are all correct and the 3G symbol appears on the screen, just no arrows next to it.
A fair few people are having the same problem, myself included.
It works better if you switch to 3g only, but sometimes that doesn't help either.
Let's all hope elephone get there act together on this, it's all very well having a great screen, CPU etc, but with no network data (& sometimes calls) it counts for nothing.

Thanks for this. In the APN settings I just changed the APN type from 'net' and 'MMS' to 'default' and this worked.
It's weird, is there some sort of learning process with this phone & network settings?
When I first got the phone it was rubbish, but as i used it more & more it got better. But then I rooted it & did a factory reset & same again. This morning I put the darksense rom on & it was still rubbish. But as the day's gone on its got a lot better - 4g & everything is working fine.
But thanks, I'll bear the APN change in mind
There are lots of APN settings to edit, I don't want to mess with what I don't know, although sometimes that's the only way. Does anyone have knowledge in this department?

This code just gives me info, can't change anything.
Do you mean *#*#3646633#*#*?
& then where to select usa?
Have a try at this:
Settings>data usage>mobile networks>network operators (will search, might take a minute)>select your operator in the list, in my case 3(4g).
For me it's been solid since, 4g a lot too.
oddly enough changing the band to USA is keeping the phone on 4g for me yet im in Ireland on 3 mobile.
had it set to Europe or Automatic before that.
lets see does it stand the test of time.

I'm definitely beginning to think this whole issue is a wrong network setting, what I did worked for me (solid all day) - post #10, & I've seen a few do this & it's worked too
after a full day it definitely fixed the issue, 4g signal is strong
cant believe they mixed up something like this.
the average novice wont have a clue what to do.
i was on the brink of flogging the phone.

Update major issue if you change the band to USA via *#*#4636#*#*.
The 4g data will work great but you can't receive or make calls unless you change it back to Europe.
How do i change the band?

Press the three dots top right at phone information
(*#*#4636#*#* -> phone information)
As far as I know Talkmobile doesn't have 4G they only offer 3G for now so no matter what you do with the APN you'll never get 4G, also with most MVNO services you will alway need to setup the APN manualy as they use someones elses network in the case of Talkmobile they use Vodafone.

I'm also with Talkmobile, I've tried almost everything but 3G is not working. Seriously considering returning the phone.
