Hi there,
i have a question related to internet speed
In setting there is 3 options for choosing internet data
- 2G only
- 3G only
- automatic
in my countries 2G is horribly slow
When i access to internet i change to ''3G only'' but the signals i receive can be 3G or H, i only want ''H'' signal not 3G because 3G is still slow for normal surfing!!!
how can i change to ''H'' only?
I have been watching for my 3G/H icon in CM7 and it seems Atrix uses 3G only for standby (maybe 3G mode drains less energy), when data starts to transfer it automatically switches to HSDPA mode. So you don't need to change it to HSDPA manually

Your phone should jump to HSPA if it is available, or else it will use UTMS.
Flash the latest radio. After that I can switch networks as I want.
You can not just change to H. Speed depends of coverage in your area. Phone will use the best and fastest available speed/network. You can force 3G but then with just 2G coverage your phone will be off line.

That's right. I can use just edge and it works just fine. 3g is not the best in my area. You cannot force H. Correct.
Depending on your Rom, when it says 3g, it will be because you're not using data at the time. Then when you're using data it switches to H. I say depending on Rom because for example, I'm running Alien, and it says H all the time.

In settings, about phone, status what does it say for you guys on three uk under mobile network type.
Mine would say HSPDA regardless of being on 3g or H, now though it constantly displays UMTS
Is that normal? Is it because I've flashed a custom rom?
And also I've noticed my data connection changes often from 3g to H.
Lastly in network mode do you guys have it on auto or WCDMA only.
Thanks
Well it will switch to 3g(umts) when there isn't anybdata being sent/received. When you need data it switches to h(hspa) so you get the fastest speeds.
This is to save battery life, so when you check in settings your probably not pulling data.
Try downloading something then looking.

Thanks for the helpful reply.
Another thing though, would it benefit me switching to wcdma only instead of auto,?
3g is useless and so slow i can't be bothered using it.
can i do this? remove the option for the phone to use 3g/2g and only connect to hsdpa or whatever?
When you have data enabled it idles at the 3g setting, once you start surfing or downloading it switches to hsdpa. So no you can't disable 3g and only use hsdpa.
at times it desn't go to hsdpa and only stick on 3g when i browse meaning i can't browse
i'd rather just make it hspda or nothing
So stupid. You will get HSDPA depending on your coverage. Not every area allows you to use HSDPA..
Does anybody know how to turn off HSDPA but leave 3G enabled in this device? I used to have a samsung galaxy mini with this option of selection band and saves battery sooooo far
go to
settings>wireless&networksettings>Mobile Networks
depending on your ROM you will get Use Only 2G networks and Use Only 3G networks

thanks but this isn't exactly what I'm looking for. Is an option that allows you to enable only UMTS and not HSDPA. You could use 3G but without the "H" icon, which means less speed, but more battery life because the device is not switching between UMTS and HSDPA constantly. I know that there's an option to switch only to GPRS, but that's not what I mean... thanks anyway!
Hmmm. When I enable '2g only' I can still use EDGE networks and so forth, it only seems to disable HSDPA - which is how I want it. What do you get when you disable 2g then?

He's talking about UTMS which is one step ahead of EDGE and one step short of HSDPA. I don't believe that there is any way to disable HSDPA only, however like the post above says, you can disable UTMS & HSDPA under settings>wireless and networks>mobile networks>Use 2g networks only.
My Moto E always seem to prefer using 2G even if I have selected 3G as prefered. It is very annoying as I want to use data over 3G but can never switch to 3G.
On my Samsung Tab 2, my ROM gives me option to explicitly use 3G network(not prefered) but there I have another annoyance that it prefers UMTS or HSPA. Unfortunately, my area only serves data on HSPAP. How to latch on H+ only?
I tried going to the *#*#301279#*#* menu and clicked on HSDPA only. But nothing happens still on EDGE/UTMS in both cases.
I have poor reception where I live and I've heard switching to 2g helps with that. But I don't want to be switching to 4g when I go out and changing to 2g when I get home.
