Hi,
Apologies for this question, but i cant get 3G sign in my mobile, while other Nokia n73 can get it. I updated my radio to v1.43, and still no [3G] sign...
In some areas i get [G] which means GPRS signal, and in other areas i got [E] which i don't know what does it mean... Any ideas??
Thx in advance
E = Edge...
Thanks Madcap... But as far as i know that Edge (EGPRS) is an extended version of GPRS whilst 3G is based on WCDMA.
My question now is why my Nokia n73 Reading always 3G, and my HTC is not reading it??? Is there is something wrong in HTC? or i must do some settings for that one?
Thx

Hello,
You say that your Nokia can receive a 3G signal and the Hermes cannot - are they both using SIM cards from the same provider and if not then do both providers supply a 3G signal where you are trying to use the Hermes?
If you should be able to receive a 3G signal on your current provider then I'd suggest you try the following:
1. Check the settings of the Hermes Phone. Try looking at the band selection setings by going to Settings - [Personal] Phone - Band Tab then checking that the Network type is set to Auto. The screenshot below shows the screen that I mean. If this is set to GSM then change it to Auto and see if that fixes the problem. If not then try...
2. Force use of 3G. Even with Auto selected your Hermes handset may be using 2G because that signal is much stronger than the 3G signal. You can force the handset to try 3G only by using a 3rd party application such as Bandswitch (an excellent product by Daniel Herrero - see his posts here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286844&highlight=bandswitch). You can download Bandswitch here: http://commmgrpro.com/_wsn/page2.html. Try using this application to set the handset to 3G and see if that works.
If you should have a 3G signal but none of this helps then it seems you have a problem that may need warranty attention. Is the handset new?
Hope this helps
Hello Tony,
Thank you for your reply. I tried what you advised. Still Cant Capture the 3G signal...
Also, i tried an application called "fieldtest_157.exe". It is described somewhere in this group. I can't find any signal (zero values) for anything related to WCDMA, UMTS, and 3G
This is weird.. I just went into settings>phone .. and there is no BAND tab.. wtf?

Hi Mike,
Have added this reg tweak. It added WCDMA & a couple of protocols in the band section of phone settings. Non of them is working... Is it possible that my radio has a problem? I'm using GPRS very well, and i have excellent GSM connections... What could be the problem?
ijust aske onething and no body can help iupggurade to 6 and mms not work only send not recieve can any one help thanksss
1) What device do you have
2) What provider are you with
3) What sub plan are you in (if applicable)
4) What country are you using the device in
These are some of the questions that answers are required to before people can assist, as it depends on those as to what your settings should be...
Best Regards
mms

Ah, sorry, I'm only aware of the main European network settings, hopefully someone else will be able to provide you with the settings you need.
Does that network provider not have a website with the correct connection settings for you to enter manually? I've googled and found this website...
http://www.jawalnet.com.sa/jawalnet/jawalnet.html
More specifically it states in that site:
Check the website, http://www.jawalnet.com.sa/jawalnet/laptop.html for detailed instructions on how to configure your PDAs manually.

Theres a post around here somewhere from somebody who modded the Network Wizard DB to include network/internet settings more 100s of network worldwide.
Hi
OK, I have just received my Atrix, and am having trouble. Basically, it will not connect to mobile data.
It is an AT&T model, unlocked to all networks by the seller. I can make & receive phone calls (now I've found how to skip Blur setup), and have entered the correct APN settings, but it refuses to connect.
I am assuming this is a radio/frequency issue. Are there any radio images that can be used to correct this, so I can use this in the UK? On the Defy there is an app called "baseband switcher" which can install the correct info for you.
---------- SOLVED ----------
Just a quick edit to show this issue is fixed.
I am unsure what fixed it. I have performed most of my testing at work, and found that the issue here was a problem with my provider (they were doing maintenance in the area). But it didn't work at home either, initially. I have flashed several radios, modified pppd-ril.options and replaced libmoto-ril.so. Something out of these has fixed my issue.
If I get chance I will remove some of the mods to see if the issue comes back, and post the results here for anyone else who comes accross this problem.
By the way, this has only fixed the issue of no 2G data. 3G data on 900MHz is still unavailable, as far as I am aware. If anyone knows how to check which frequency is currently being used, I can check this further, otherwise I think this is the best we can hope for at the moment.
Hi
Does anyone know the answer to this?
Can I flash a UK/European radio on this (AT&T) Atrix? I have installed Aura, will this make a difference? Are there "fruitcakes" available for the radio, or must I use and SBF?
I have tried to research this through the site (and google) but I can find no definitive answers. All I think I need is a 900/1800/2100 baseband. I definately have the correct APN settings, and mobile data has worked while I've been out and about, but it is very patchy and I am not getting mobile data in places I know have good signal, and am noit getting 3G in places I used to.
I had this same problem on my Defy, and this was easily fixed using the Defy Baseband Switcher app. Selecting a UK baseband fixed all my issues then, so I expect the same now.
Please help
Thanks

Hello
I'm interested at the answer too. I have bought AT&T version from US and imported it to Europe.
The problem for me is that I need Atrix to use 900MHz 3G. I can use 2100MHz 3G but when the 3G is build using 900MHz, Atrix is not able to use 3G, only Edge or GPRS. I have other phone with 900MHz/2100MHz support which I use to verify existence of 3G service.
I have tried with radio version N_01.95.00R which did not work with 900MHz. Just couple of minutes ago I installed N_01.100.00R (CWM zip), haven't yet tested it with 900MHz.
I have seen reports from users owning Atrix, that they have been able to activate 900MHz 3G support by installing N_01.95.00R or N_01.97.00R.
If N_01.100.00R does not work, I''ll try N_01.97.00R and after that I don't know what to try.

Thanks, that's more info than I've managed to glean from my research.
I'm also on a network which uses 900MHz for 3G (in some areas at least) so this may be my problem. I'm currently on baseband N_01.77.15P. If you wouldn't mind letting me know once you've checked I'll wait for you to report back about
N_01.100.00R.
By the way, does anyone know if there are these "fruitcake" things for radios, or do they have to be flashed from SBFs?
Just FYI, I got impatient, and work has been quiet, so I tried myself.
1.100.0R and 1.95.0R made no difference for me.
I also tried an international 1.97.0R SBF, and this gave me an error while flashing... was quite worried till I pulled the battery and it booted back up fine.
I just want to add, here, that if I manage to get 3G reception I can use it fine. However I don't get 3G in very many places, including ones which worked perfectly (full signal) on my Defy. Also, as soon as it tips over to 2G in these places, it shows the "G" icon but does not allow any traffic.
As I said, this is exact problem I had with my Defy when a ROM I installed changed the baseband to a US one from a UK one, and it was fixed as soon as I changed back. So "all" I need is a baseband which will install on my (BL unlocked, SIM unlocked, Rooted and ROMed) AT&T Atrix which is compatible with (O2) UK bands (specifically 900MHz for 2G & 3G and 2100MHZ for 3G only).
I tested with N_01.100.00R, but no success.
I don't know anything about "fruitcake", but I have installed new radio versions either from sbf with RSD Lite or from zip-files using CWM.
Where to find radio versions made for Europe/international use?
I have an AT&T Atrix in Germany, everything works out ok. Try following:
Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163009 and flash the radio from there.
In your stock dialer, dial *#*#4636#*#*, choose Phone Information, Set preferred network type to "GSM auto (PRL)" or "GSM Only".
Before all that though, make sure you have the correct APN, it'd be a bummer if it's that simple..

Hi
Thanks. I have checked the APN settings so many times now that I could probably recite them by heart I have also installed an app which sets up the correct settings for me, so I'm pretty sure they are right. From *#*#4636#*#* network type is set to GSM auto, and "GSM disconnects" says "fail because Unknown Data Error".
Which radio from that post, BTW? The AT&T .91 one?

Yep, that's the one I'm using.
Try flashing that and see how it goes. Though data should work regardless older / newer radio; have you tried calling your provider?
Nup
Flashed the linked radio, and it made no difference.
By the way, I finally found where the "Select band" item was, it's in the 4636 menu, phone info, menu key, select band. This shows only USA.
I think I may try flashing the French fruitcake located here just to see if that fixes it. Orange France uses the same frequencies. I know it's stock, but I can try flashing a custom ROM after. I just want to get this thing working now...
Also, there is a post here which seems to suggest a method to fix it, but I am at work and it's too much hassle to set all that up here.
I tried to flash couple of international sbf's but none installed, sec_exception febe 35,35 was the problem.
Then I tried to install Bell radio from bellradiolatest.zip using CMW. Now I have version n_01.77.30s.qn, haven't tried 900MHz yet but 2100MHZ is working as it was with other versions.
4636 menu shows me also the USA Band, which is only option, cannot be changed.
After I have verified that this n_01.77.30s.qn ain't working, I'll try AT&T .91.
I'm using Cyanogenmod and prefer it, I just can't stand the original firmware or something based on original one. For example, week starts from Monday here, in CM I can choose it but US based firmwares week starts from sunday and cannot be changed.
I can confirm that flashing a French fruitcake doesn't work, results in flashing red led. Restored from backup, back to square one.
The Atrix from AT&T does not have the ability to utilise the WCDMA network on the 900Mhz band.

Never heard of a carrier disabling a network they already have, but why would you be worried?
That sucks!
Anyway, the reason I was wonderring is that I cannot get a 2G data connection either. I have been told now on another forum that this is not the case, and I should be getting 2G data. So it seems the phone cannot even make a 2G data connection at 900MHZ (this network only does 2G at 900MHz, 3G is at 900/2100MHz). In *#*#4636#*#* it shows DcAtivatingState for ages, then goes inactive with "Unknown Data Error".
When I can get a 3G signal it is fine.

Could you type the whole thing out? Also, check your apn settings
I am absolutely certain the APN settings are correct, I have checked them over and over, set them using an app, and verified against my previous phone as well.
State: Dc ActivatingState is connecting to [ApnSettingV2] giffgaff data, 1357, 23410, giffgaff.comm , , , , , -1, true, -1, 0, 0, *, IP, IP

I have also just had a reply on my operator's forum from another user who says he had exactly the same problem with this phone.
Now it's just gone into DcActiveState, and says the connection is available. However, nothing gets through. It reckons it's sending and receiving PPP packets, but I can't ping anything, can't nslookup, and obviously can't browse.
Just tried with my old phone, and everything looks the same (when restricted to 2G only), and it operates perfectly. So it is the phone. I checked the APN settings again, before you ask, and they are identical between devices.
I did read something about the stock AT&T firmware blocking other APNs, but that can't be what's happenning here, can it? I mean, it works fine when it can get 3G.
Right, this is getting irritating.
I just flashed a stock 2.3.4 fruit cake to see if that helped. I added my APN settings, and couldn't connect. Set it in WCDMA only and it got a weak HSPA signal, went through Blur setup. Tried again on GSM auto and no joy, even when it hits DcActivatedState nothing gets through.
I am absolutely certain it is not the APN settings. I am sure they would not even allow 3G access if they were wrong, but with a 3G signal it works perfectly. But on GPRS (in several places, miles apart so on different cells) I can get not data connection.
hi guys,
I am living in area, which have very poor 3G connection, so i am looking for method to limit the arc to use only 2G connection. Is there any application or a way that Arc only use 2G network? SE has somehow changed the default "Mobile Network" in settings, it is only possible to choose "only 3g" but not "only 2g".
I have an unrooted Arc with android 2.3.3.
In the Phone application, dial *#*#4636#*#*
Go to phone settings, and under network type select "GSM only", that should do the trick.
You might want to try "GSM Auto (PRL)", if 3G is indeed very poor, the phone should (in theory) not use it in your area, but it would switch to it when you go to places with better coverage.
This is not the Q&A forum! Or you don't care guys?

Sorry, when i made this thread, i thought i had to post it here, because it has something to do with application. But now i think, you are right, i should have posted it in Q&A. It seems that your Arc is branded by "3". I am living in Denmark, my Arc is also "3" branded. They have horrible connection in DK. I think you do not have this poor 3G connection problem, because you might have flashed with the generic rom.

Yeah it works...4G US GSM carriers
Im stoked to hear it works. 4g and spark hardly exists here. Can you report which carriers you connected to successfully with 4g? I heard only 3g was possible on tmobile (which has my interest for sim)

You need to fix the permissions to the build.prop to stop fc errors after editing the build.prop on the G3.
Everytime you edit the build.prop you need to fix its permissions before restarting your phone.
