Anyone found this yet?
3G has a maximum theoritical speed of 7.2Mbit/s. If the network you are connected on supports speeds higher than that, it changes to H/H+. By network, I mean the cellular tower that is connecting your phone to the network.
The gsg II had a problem when switching from 3g/h/h+. My sgs III seems to have a similar problem so I want to lock it down to 3g and see if that helps like it did on the sgs II.

Hi, I have a white galaxy s2 i9100, but for some reason, when I put in my Tmobile sim card, it only runs on E network and not 4g. I contact Tmobile and they said there's nothing they can do about it since it's not a Tmobile phone. is there anything I can do to make my phone run on 4g? E network is very slow.

The I9100 version don't support 4G
But it says on the website that it does

Im looking at the specification and i don't see any 4G.
I order mine on newegg.com before I purchase it I checked the specifics and it said 4g.

You're on T-Mobile? In the US? Then what you're seeing is normal. The GT-I9100 doesn't support one of the frequencies necessary for 4G on T-Mobile USA's network. (1700/2100) It will ONLY ever get Edge speeds.
It DOES support 4G (well, HSPA+, anyways) on AT&T's network, which runs on 850/1900.
See here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875176292. Once you get to this page, click on the Details tab. Notice where it says "3G". (I know - 3G; but it uses the same frequencies for HSPA+) It says "AT&T 3G Only".
Sorry bud.

A lot of carriers wrongly named their network 4G for advertising reasons when it is in fact still only 3G.
The reason why it might be on EDGE is because it probably has a much stronger signal than 3G does so it will default to it. You can set the phone to use 3G only by going to settings -> wireless & networks -> mobile networks and then set network mode to WCDMA only.
Take note of the signal strength in settings -> about phone -> status.

No. This will NEVER work. Trust me. the I9100 does not and will not EVER receive one of the frequencies necessary for T-Mobile USA's HSPA+ (what they market as 4G) network. You will ALWAYS only be able to get Edge on T-Mobile when using this phone.

Sorry, I'm use to the 850/900/2100mhz 3G frequencies we use here, all of which this phone covers so there's never a problem using any network... Except Vodafone, they suck on all frequencies

GT-I9100 will NEVER get better than an Edge connection (shown as an "E" by your signal indicator) on T-Mobile USA's network, because it doesn't have the hardware to receive the right frequencies to do so. To get 3g or faster speeds (shown as "3G", "H", or "H+" by your signal indicator) in the US, you will need to be on AT&T's network, or another carrier that uses the same frequencies.
does anybody got a new hack for airtel network ???
what hack???
I'm guessing he wants to enable a normal 2G internet plan on his network for cheap, but use it in 3G by switching to 3G mode. As far as I know, with Airtel the only time I've seen this work is with my friend's AT&T Galaxy S2 unlocked from the US. It's a 4G phone and it doesn't have the usual 'GSM only', 'WCDMA only', 'GSM/WCDMA auto' modes under network settings. So when he recharged for a 2G pack, the phone connected to Airtel's 3G network and displayed a 'H+' symbol in his status bar. He gets 3G speeds quite a few times but sometimes it becomes as slow as 2G. I haven't seen this work on a normal phone bought in India.
I used to get 3g speeds on 2g internet pack from airtel.I always keep the network mode to wcdma.
But sometimes i also get very low 2g speeds.
All this on my old samsung galaxy s

Hi, everybody. Things happens so I left my US phone in Warsaw's taxi being there for Euro-2012 and bought Galaxy S2 I9100 from Orange. Came back to US and was trying to configure internet connection and had no luck getting 4G speeds. So far on the phone it just showing EDGE and low speeds. Is there any way to fix that issue? Was trying to search for this on the forums and Google, just found a couple of ideas that it doesn't work with 4G for some reason.
Any help would be appreciated!
Not sure if polish sgs2 have 4g (Lte) at all. If you want 3g you need to change APN settings for your providers default. You will find it in web.
Other possibility - you have no coverage of network .

If you're on T-mobile USA, you'll never get better than Edge speeds on their network with an i9100. The phone doesn't have the requisite antenna hardware to receive 1700 mhz for UMTS, which us one of the two required frequencies of the AWS band. (the other being 2100 mhz)

You're right, the i9100 does NOT have LTE. He's trying to get what passes for 4G (HSPA+) on one of our US carriers. I'm trying to determine if it's T-mobile USA or AT&T.
I totally missed the carrier name right in the thread title. Simple Mobile operates on the T-mobile USA network. So, I'm sorry to inform you, but you bought a phone that will never get 4G on your network. Sorry.
What about 3G? Or because of the antenna frequency difference not even that?

Same bands. So same problem.
Samsung Galaxy S3 3G/H, not H+.
Hi, I purchased the S3 from Movistar Argentina.
I updated my phone to 4.0.4 and only get 3G/H, not H+.
I am in a good reception areas.
I was wondering if anyone knows why.
Thanks!

It depends if ur network provider has enabled the HSPA+ function on the carriers of the site u pick ur signal from.
It's less of an "enabled" thing than a "upgraded". Antennas and their corresponding wiring, backup power, transmitters, ... are extremly expensive and thus providers only upgrade the areas where they need the capacity. You still should be able to top several Mbit/s in good reception areas on HSPA (unless the antenna is overcrowded)

Do you get H+ in the same location before you update? It can be a carrier issue or modem issue. You can use different modem to try if which modem suits you. Here's the link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1740061
