If your phones network is set to GSM/WCDMA can you receive phone calls?

Phone cannot call

Hi
my Galaxy S II is fully working but only one prob when i put simcard I can see networks but i cannot ring ??
is this software issue or hardware ??
Found solution !!!
My phone settings were set to only work with 2G instead of 3G/HSPDA/HSUPA some carrier networks allow their SIM cards to only work on internet/3G data enabled phones
So I 3G and it worked

I have Tata Docomo and i too had this same kind of problem earlier(almost a year ago). The Edge symbol would only show upload and nothing would work.
In Tata Docomo we have two internet setting:
1.Tata Docomo Internet(default and to connect internet in computer)
2 Dive-in(for wap i think)
The temporary workaround for me was to use Dive-in instead of Tata Docomo Internet whenever that problem occured(mostly at midnight). Using this setting only the stock browser would work and nothing else.
So, you could try Vodafone Live(i think that's what its called) settings and at least your stock browser may work. Though check your balance after using.
Well im using docomo
and i still get this issue
in both oxygen and cm7
i just toggle gprs/edge off
and it works
Ok guys but I didn't notice this problem while using airtel I was using my friends SIM I was astonished it was awesome!! Both speed and connection!! And I am facing this issue recently not before!! And I can't change the SIM cuz I want the same number! Gonna try porting my number!!!

If you are on 2G plan, make sure you check the 2G toggle only. I have seen this error on many of my friends phone, who are using 2G plan but the network settings are 2G/3G both. Vodafone doesnt like this, and that's why they throttle your network connection.

Samsung S3 GT-I9305 LTE UK skype problem?

Hi everyone,
Not sure where to post so just posting here in general. One week ago I bought a contract from T-Mobile UK on samsung galaxy s3 GT-I9305 LTE version with unlimited text and internet.
The problem I am facing is that my SKYPE work perfect on wifi but On 3G its does not work at all. can not even login.
I have searched the google and found out that orange and t-mobile uk blocks VOIP and skype calls (specially block skype).
Is there any way around to use skype on 3G? like change port or using some sort of bypass or somefing?
Regards,
In settings > more settings > mobile networks > there are 3 options . There is an automatic option which jumps from band to band depending on coverage. 1. lte/gsm/wcdma 2. gsm 3. Wcdma the later 2 options is 3g mode and I think wcdma means 2g not sure
But Skype works fine for me I always leave it on option 1. Auto
Skype itself does not have any options for this.

Thanks for the quick reply. Mine is set to AUTO as you said. Its not phone problem. Its EE (T-mobile uk and orange) who is blocking SKYPE. My work colleague have iphone 5 on same network and he is also unable to use SKYPE on 3G..

[Q] 2G/Edge only network mode on T mobile?

Hello,
I have a Samsung galaxy s3 international rooted and stock Samsung 4.1.2.
My question is I got the cheapest package of t mobile which is 500mb of high speed data (unlimited 2g)and unlimited calls and texts. I wanted to know is there a way I can manually just use 2g when I want to versus 4g?
Do I have to switch network mode? There is auto, gsm and wcdma. Which one should I be on?
P. S. I can use 2g only if I switch to gsm but then I can't receive phone calls. I can call though. Same situation with auto.
Please help!

GSM only will force 2G. And if you can make calls Id assume it should be possible to receive them.

[Q] shv-e210s DROP CALLS help

hi everyone, i am new on this site.
i recently got a new shv-e210s on hand. i used it around 2 weeks and i found some big problems with it. I CAN'T TALK ON THE PHONE MORE THAN 2-3 MINUTES it drops all the calls . it's there any fix, or can i convert it to GT-I9305?? HEL PLEASE i can pay to have it fix beacause io love this phone. thanks
No, you can't convert it. Sounds like a hardware fault, do a factory reset then flash the right firmware to test. Don't use any files for the i9300.

If you're using 4.3 jellybean there is an app in playstore as SKT Hidden menu on which u can go to network settings - Network mode - and select Wcdma all or GSM all which ever network u prefer
If you're using 4.4.4 kitkat u have to dial *#9090# and from network mode enable WCDMA or GSM
