Thx

Edge is the 2g network, when you drop a 3g signal your phone gets stuck on Verizon's version of it... I guess it would improve battery life but don't try to any browsing on it...

Edge is a type of GSM network, Verizon uses CDMA, so no, you can't use EDGE.
The equivalent to EDGE in Verizon would be the 1X data connection, as opposed to the 3G (EVDO) connection. I know we can disable mobile data with Froyo, but I don't think there's any way (without some kind of hack) to force the phone to always use a 1X data connection.

It's somewhere in the hidden menus.
GSM phones, in general, get much better battery life. It has to do with the network. Coverage vs Battery life it's a toss up
Hi
Does anyone know how to fix this issue? I am in a good area for signal and with previous phones am consistently on H. With my S2 it frequently switches between 3G and H even if it stays in the same spot. It will do it every few minutes.
This is causing havok when I try and tether and my Transformer and laptop keep getting signal interruptions.
Does anyone have a fix? I have Fast Dormancy disabled and I'm aware there may be some other engineer menus that have signal settings in that might work?
Thanks
Paul

Interesting.. And I thought it was just my network vodafone
Mine also switches between G/H/H+ all within 5 secs... yeah 5 seconds and it is kinda annoying.
Are you on GIFFGAFF as stated on you profile? or other network? cause I thought if might have do to something with vodafone..
Otherwise may be its something to do with the hardware settings, I too would like to know the answer
I've kept mine to use WCMA all the times...

Yes, I'm on giffgaff.
Glad its not just me. Maybe the antenna is a little too sensitive.
Anyone know the secret code to get to the GSM/UTMS bits?

This thread has lots of codes, if any help i have no clue which might help us
OK. Found the 2263 code but that seems to want to enable/disable actual bands.
Am I looking into it too hard!?

Now, for me wouldn't 3G and H/H+ both be considered as WCDMA under Mobile Network Settings? G and E would be GSM right?
If that is the case, staying on WCDMA wouldn't fix the problem.

Your phone shouldn't lock onto a H/H+ signal unless it has started to download data. That's how the protocol works.
If your phone is sitting idle it should be on 3G.
You should only get H/H+ when your phone is actively downloading.

OK. So how can I stop it flicking between the H and 3G. For instance when I am trying to stream it will get interrupted, or if I'm wirelessly tethered?

i'm from tunisia and have the same pronlem here.
Please developers help us to get rid of this 3g/h issue.
Guys,
I got the same problem here i n Brazil using a VIVO carrier.
I set in CONFIG -> WIRELESS AND NETWORK -> MOBILE NETWORKS -> NETWORK MODE -> WCDMA ONLY
I don`t know why it worked but now its working fine.
Could you test?

No problems to report in Amsterdam.
I'm biking through the whole city to get to work, no disconnects using TuneIn or Google Music. Provider is Vodafone, HSDPA+ all along the way.
Its Android issue
Think when iPhone, Windows phones have not had this issue, wat else other than Android. I have tried 3 different handsets. 3 different network - 3, O2 and Vodaphone. All has same problem. Android is the only thing common. I have been scouring the internet and posted everwhere possible since Dec 2010 from when I became Android user. There is no solution. Everone seems busy making their own Android versions and apps. Result there is no basic data and voice stability on Android. Have been relying on my decade old treo to receive n make important calls. Wonder where this is going. My heart n soul seems to sway to the iPhone lately. Atleast wat they give works well.
Its Android issue
BTW those config settings are useless too. I have even used the code to get into hidden menu and change config but no use. It's the same issue. From H to 3g and from G to E I gsm.
Sorry for the question, but whats the problem with switching? I have the same thing but is not a problem for me.

Nobody should get worried about that switching, THIS IS NORMAL!
H/H+ is an high speed 3G protocol.
Basically:
1. 3G means DL 384 Kbps tops. The modem is under 3G signal most of the time. Whenever something on your phone starts checking/d-loading it communicates at THE BEGINNING under 3G protocol. Also, long ping time> 210 ms.
2. HSDPA max 14 Mbps/HSDPA+ can go as high as 42 Mbps ( topped only by cell tower). If there's need for large packet data or shorter ping time, IT AUTOMATICALLY SWITCHES TO H/H+(IF AVAIL). Hsdpa consumes more power and it's a communication protocol. When connected under H/H+ error correction bits are transmitted along data stream. It's like switching your home wifi on b/g/n. ...or like the automatic gearbox going to overdrive.
If you see a lot of this switching it means there's a lot of downloading/uploading going on.
I have it switching too between 3g and h on o2 and its making the internet so unstable you cannot do anything at all. This is certain not normal as the switch happens every second and continues to do so until phone is off
Mine is also switching to 3G once connection is idle for about 3 seconds. So far no problem and it uses less power than my SGS1 for browsing since my SGS1 doesn't switch to 3G when idle.
Mine is no problem between this signal switching, check your area or check your country maybe too much communication devices there so that's why it is distorted. Just use the common carrier with plenty of cell sites for a good signal of your phone.
What do i need to dial to fix it to 3g only from 2g?
Hi,
New to the sgsII forum after finally divorcing my x10i.
Does anyone else suffer from a weak wifi signal.
Could be standing next to the router and still not have full signal and a much decreased signal strength compared to the x10i at any distance from the router.
Many thanks
Kieron

Nope my WiFi is fine, my phone can even connect from outside the house. Maybe its your router that's the problem. Try another wireless network to see if that works ok?

Thought that but wifes x10 and ipod have no pronlem with signal strength.

How are you measuring signal -DB or just using the not very accurate wifi indicator .
You could check if your firmware has an upgrade .
jje
Yes may be due to quite a few reasons...
As mentioned in the above post... try upgrading the firmware of router (if theres any)..to start with...
if it doesnt works..or no firmware upgrade available for your router..
install free app wifi analyzer from market..
check the router channel ...from the app... there might be some interference with neighbours...change the router channel..if theres any interference...
in the wifi analyzer the router signal strenght should be above above -60dB/-50dB...
if thats the case...the wifi signal indicator on status bar may not be accurate...(showing low signal)
Yea, I realize I'm the odd ball still running an old wrt54g for his home router but its all I need.
My problem though is that my newly acquired d-inc 4g can't connect to the WiFi at any faster than 12mbps with excellent signal. Now my girlfriends iPhone 4 sitting right near it gets the full 54mbps connection speed. And to further annoy me, my older rooted d-inc 2 gets 54mbps out the front door, no issues,
And to add to the slow speed, when the phone goes to sleep there is no WiFi data after it wakes back up. It remains connected, I just can't use it oddly.
Anyone willing and able to help a guy out?

have you ever updated the firmware on your router?
Yea, I'm running dd-wrt v24-sp2 mini build 14896. No linksys bull stability issues here.
WiFi is running in mixed mode, channel 11, WPA2-PSK AES (TKIP sucks), with slightly boosted tx power (75mW vs default 71mW), no afterburner but frame burst is on with a long preamble

This was solved. It was the routers fault. Apparently due to the recent storms at the time boucing the power, the flash on the router got into a bad state and required a 30-30-30 reset and has been happily working since then.
Hey guys,
I just purchased the tablet z and I am very happy with it. Although I find wifi speeds very very slow!! Sometimes I feel my 4g speeds is faster. Is anyone else experiencing this? I've got a fibre broadband connection so its definitely not my WiFi. Anyways I have other devices connected to my WiFi at home and they are all faster
Any tips or solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
Have read in many forums of setting router to use 5Ghz if it supports it, and a fixed channel (ch9 is often mentioned) as opposed to "auto" settings... Obviously everything you want to use on network will have to be compatible...
