I was wondering if there's an app that can add a widget to the homescreen that shows which network band (850mhz / 1900mhz) the phone is connected to. I browsed the Play Store and couldn't really find what I need. I'm aware that I can enter a code on my dialer to get the info, but I actually want to monitor which band its connected to without going through that. So a widget would be helpful. ANyone know of such an app?

I have recently purchased a viewpad 7. I have also enabled 3G services from my operator. Can somebody help me in the following:-
(a) How to start a video call?
(b) What will be the indication for 3G services running on the pad?
(c) Can someone show me a display of the screen with 3G services enabled?
What is your mobile operator (and country, if applicable) since we have users around the globe on this sub-forum?
Based in US, I've used a prepaid 3G Sim from AT&T (also, tested my China Mobile HK/China dual phone # prepaid Sim) and getting E(dge) or 2G+ voice/data services only along with much faster secured wifi (20GB broadband) - but I'm setup to use Google Voice for all voice calls.
Regardless, the upper right portion of the status bar (on top of the display) should show the "H" or "3G" symbol when data is active.
Try by going to Settings, Wireless & network settings and check your Mobile networks - check that Data is enabled (including roaming, if applicable) and that Network Mode is configured properly, also APN is set for MMS per your mobile operator specifications, etc. etc.
I'm doubtfull about its ability to easily take/make video calls over mobile network (possible & probably easier to configure over wifi - with the proper software as bandwidth needed could be part of the issues) - however, I could be mistaken & not fully up-to-date on this.
I am using BSNL network India. In the mobile network settings on enabling data, the download E symbol shows up on the top right with arrow marks. I am able to load/upload data but no video calls. The review says that video calls are possible with the viewpad 7. But how please help.....
view this thread i have just run into the same problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1267297
and there is the solution, if you have a different network, pm me ill work out the solution for you
note im with o2 in the uk, as for your other questions, to indicate you have a 3g signal, there will be a 3g icon next to the signal bar, in my case its a H as im connected to a HSDPA signal.
I put my automatically: S

DOes it mean, your VP7 can not connect to internet via mobile/SIM module? I had the same problem with the latest official ROM from VS. I Had to install FM6-3350-0-1008-A01.nb0 which I have to find on this forum. Unfortunately I have lost Czech localization.
Hi,
Had a search and couldn't find the answer I was looking for, so if it exists please point me the right direction.
Is there an app / widget that can tell me what frequency / band my phone is using?
To be exact, I want to know when my phone is on 850mhz or 2100mhz.
Closest I found was http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913340 but it didn't work on my SG2.
Thanks in advance
i don't think there is one, but to make sure all available bands are open, open dialer enter *#*#4636#*#* then go to phone info, then the menu key then select automatic, this will allow all bands
you want too see what is the currect CPU freq?
well i just have set cpu widget on my first page it does good job
try it
Have you tried open signal maps?

May be not much of a help.
When I had my nexus one and nexus s I could create a shortcut with bettercut called phone info. It took me to a screen that allowed me to select GSM/wcdma or wcdma only along with a few more options. Where I work it switches from "4g" to edge constantly which I'm sure is draining the battery. I want to lock it to wcdma only but can't create the same shortcut. I'm not sure if it has a different name on gs3 or if the option just isn't there. Any help would be appreciated.
t-mobile stock rom/rooted
Found an app called network in the play store took me to the device info screen and I was able to select wcdma only.
t-mobile stock rom/rooted
Background info: rooted stock ROM, locked to Rogers.
I can't seem to find a network signal widget that will work with Roger's LTE network. Some widgets shows 113, others show 85. Never changes.
If I disable LTE, the widget works with 4G without any problems.
Anyone know of a widget that is compatible or is there something I have to do to get the other signal widgets to work?
Regards
Hi!
Sorry for the urgent, but my company (where I work) is changing mobile phone company and we want to test the connections/roaming "out in the world"
I'm trying to find an app which can tell me (with use of a log) when the phone is changing between 2G, 3G and 4G/LTE.
So far I've downloaded:
Network Monitor (the yellow icon)
2G 3G 4G LTE Network Monitor
Network Cell Info Lite
Network Signal Info Pro (yes, I bought it)
But I don't feel I got the right app yet -.-
Any help to what app can do what I'm looking for?

It doesn't seem like what I'm looking for, but it did lead me to this app: Cell Connectivity Tracker
So I'll try that. The Huawei P8 Lite is compatible with that app
Any suggestions is welcome
