I unlocked my 920 from EE & I am using it on Vodafone but I cannot get a 3G connection. It stays on EDGE all the time & that connection is fine as far as data just no 3G.
Input the APN settings from the Vodafone website & that was no help.
Contacted Vodafone CS but they could not help me.
So anyone have any suggestions?
Have you checked in the ##3282 menu to ensure that the proper bands and network type are selected?

Went into it but what is it I am supposed to be looking for in there, it appears to be an engineering menu & I am not sure what bits I should be checking?
Sorry for the double post but I should add I have contacted both my network and Nokia and neither was able to help me with this.

3. In the drop-down menu under "Network type", select automatic if it's not already (2G will be EDGE/GPRS, 3G will be HSPA/UMTS. and 4G is LTE)
also make sure 3G band is set to automatic instead of band 2 or something like that, I had a bad experience seeing my phone not getting any signal at all after mistakenly put the 3G on band 2 only and no network could get connected.

That won't fix the OP's issue. The OP gets data on EDGE, just not 3G.
I eventually took it to an area with a very strong 3G signal and it went onto 3G. But it's still very choppy and I have an issue that if it drops off 3G it can be hard to get it to go back onto it unless I take it to a max strength signal area.

That could be or your operator or the firmware.
The operators can control the amount of cell phones handing off from 2G to 3G, also the network does the same if the 3G is very congested.
Also the firmware may take a heavy part on this if the operator has some special configuration on its handset to go easily on 3G camping.

It did a network settings update recently, maybe because my network is starting to carry it, but that doesn't seem to have helped all that much.

it does not just happen to phones on other networks, I have a lumia on the EE network and I don't get full 3g always, its always switching between EDGE and 3G although the signal is supposed to be strong, called into customer support and they told me it was due to network congestion.. :|

I had a similar problem and I solved it by forcing 3G only... this happens when the 2g or E signal is very strong while 3G is weak:
dial the following: ##3282#
it will open a menu for you, go to the bottom where settings are and choose settings, under settings there is something called "network type" choose 3G from there and you should see it.
this will tell you if it is a carrier issue or a phone issue. I don't recommend always having it that way as it will drain your battery when signal is low and drop calls instead of switching to 2G during calls.

Do you think trying a different radio would help? That's a whole reason why I flashed over to stock, because the previous radio leaks were giving me problems.
Looks like it's probably a Verizon network issue. I'm on stock radio FWIW.
I am in the same boat in my location. The 4g icon went off for a while, and all of a sudden its just a 1x icon. I restarted my phone, to no avail.
So far I can receive and place calls, so that's good.
Here's what I'm running. Does anyone see that the error could be on my part?

As most are aware both the LTE network and eHPRD are down (a special version of 3G for the Thunderbolt only). To get 3G data back you just need to change your settings back to the normal 3G network. Here are the steps:
Dial ##778# and hit send
A pop-up window named EPST will show up giving you 2 choices: View Mode and Edit Mode. Pick: Edit Mode.
Enter the Password: 000000
Go down to Modem Settings and pick “Rev A“
You’ll want to choose enable and click OK, hit the menu button and then press “Commit Modifications.”
I hope this helps anyone that is left in the dark by this outage.
edit 2 suggested by NDK: one more step guys, if you are on auto cdma/lte settings, you might have to go in to
*#*#4636#*#* and select EVDO only to get 3g.
My thunderbolt worked on auto cdma/lte but this may cause less conflict.

No data except 1X here in Detroit, which has a very strong 4G signal. I can confirm my company has a traditional 3G repeater and I cannot connect to that either (which i normally can).

Hello Members
I'm on the '3' network (uk), and I'm sure the 3G signal while using my new XZU is not as stable.
The signal keeps jumping from 3G to H to H+, which my previous phone didn't do at my home address.
Is it possible that the Sony XZU needs more firmware updates, or is the phone just suffering signal strength issues?

Hello BASKOU, it's my 3G signal. I find I'll have reasonable high signal bars on the XZU but the mobile 3G icon will constantly change from 3G to H to H+, and this action seems to interrupt the speed/flow of how Web pages load, or how the 'Play store works'.
The only thing I find it's not 100% consistently doing this problem, depending on where I am, or the time of day, but what I do find is it will generally always start with a 3G symbol if I'm not using the Internet first off on the phone, then the arrows will flash and the icon will move on to H the H+.
It's as if 3' network is monitoring what process you doing at the time your using the network, and controlling the mode of speed that is required (a 3G speed, or a H+ speed), I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the LTE roll out on 3's network?

Ok so try to lock on WCDMA and see if you still have this problem. It happen to me at my home (have an antenna just up to me so it mess with the network). But when I am in town or normal covered area it never switch all the time like you.
The network do not tell your phone which network he should use. It is your phone that choice which network it should use. And corresponding to the speed it say if you are on 3g/H/H+. So normally it is because 3G signal is not stable that your phone do that. As my XZU have a better signal than my htc sensation and the note 2, I guess it might come from the network.

The phone swith to 3g to conserve battery life, when you start using Internet , it switch to fastest network available, that's the delay that you experience, i think that normal for all phones.
So far, the signal is better compare to my iphone 5 in weak signal area.

Thanks BASKOU, I'll lock to WCDMA only tonight, while I'm my home address signal area which seems to suffer this problem the most at the moment.
Thanks ijat91 also for that, I also had the Note2 (GT-N7105) previously, but I never noticed, or picked up on the phone displaying the 3G icon first off before going to H+, it tended to always be showing H+ and this was at my home address.
But at you've stated bASKOU, I think the phones hunting for the strongest signal, now you've mentioned this, I've heard other friends and people I know have suffered issues like this on there different makes, and model phones, using there mobile networks.
I'll report back if making this change in the settings improves things.
Regards
Well, I did the settings change as suggested to 'WCDMA only', the result was no improvement in fact the Internet symbol on the phone just stayed on 3G, and the signal bars would just flip between 2 & 4 and then none, thanks anyway.
I'm almost sure it's not a physical fault with the phone, as yesterday I was virtually on H+ signal while in an area of London call Kilburn, so I don't think there's a problem there.
It might possibly be related to the phone firmware, in that in some way it's not handling a weaker H+ signals and locking onto them, but choosing to alway find the strongest connection, when all the variation of the broadband network are available, but none are strong and all are equally weak in the area.
Anyway, I'll have to live with it for now and see if the LTE service from the 3 network improves things in the future.
Thanks again everyone

So, I upgraded from the EVO 4G LTE today...
Now at home I can only get 3G instead of LTE!
I could get LTE on the EVO 4G LTE here before, now it's just 3G!
I do get better bars, though.
I have updated the profile and PRL
Is Sprint Spark running off different towers than regular LTE or something? That is the only thing I can think of that would do this.
Any ideas? I know LTE works near Sprint HQ.
Kind of bites, as now I will have to rely on wireless due to Sprint's abysmal 3G network...
Let me know if you have any ideas.
Try settings, network tab, more, mobile networks, network mode. Change it from global to lte/cdma. It seemed to work for me. Same issue.

Yep works. I did it and drove around a bit and it picked up Sprint Spark LTE. When I got back home, it is now on LTE with half bars (30 Mbps - 45 Mbps_ so I am happy :good:
[edit]
Curiously, this has come back. LTE tries to connect, but then drops to 3G.
Wondering if it's possibly just a tower issue by my home.
It could possibly be because the Evo LTE has 2 radios, while the spark devices only have 1. I've noticed that if I lose connection for any short amount of time, it drops to 3G and stays there for a long time.
I've found that if I
1) Place LG G3 next to window
2 Restart the phone
It jumps to LTE Spark. Otherwise, it defaults to 3G.
I get strong 3G and weak LTE inside, so I imagine the phone thinks I want the stronger connection over the faster one

Have you tried toggling airplane mode when this happens? To get the radios to reset? Works on my S5. If I drive through a particular part of town my device drops to 3G and won't jump back to 4G without either e reboot or a data radio reset. I've heard the problem has something to do with certain towers needing updates.

That - and the power off/on trick - both work about half the time.
I'm not sure why it is so inconsistent
I use LTE Discovery to reset data sometimes to get LTE connection. Much better solution than a reboot. Plus many other benefits on the app.

This is what worked for me...but it resets your phone.
In your Sprint dialer, dial: ##72786#
That should reset your phone completely and give you consistent 4g lte. I had the same problem and thought i was going to have to return the g3, but fortunately that method of resetting fixed my problem. Just to note, hard resetting through the settings menu does not work the same for this situation.

Sent from my LGLS990 using XDA Premium HD app
Old thread i know, but this has something to do with the signal threshold. I have been dealing with it for years. Basically if i understand it correctly it will drop to 3g when 4g hots a certain signal threshold. I have found though that even with full 3g signal it is still increddibly slow compared to barely any 4g signal as far as data is concerned. The phone just thinks you are better off with the stronger 3g signal. It is good to hear i am not the only one who thi ks Sprints 3g is pitiful. I cannot load anything with it.....most webpages and apps give up before they load from 3g. I use Intelli3g to force my phone to stay on 4g because I have found that even the weakest 4g is better than my best 3g signal. Although using Intelli3g takes a bit of modding to your phone.... On the LG G3 ls990 it requires root...which is easy....but also twrp manager installed ...then you have to flash Xposed framework.....can be a bit scary but possible. This is the only way I know of to force your phone to stay connected to any signal 4g 3g 2g ect....just select fast network and slow network and flick the switch. This was a must app for me because where i am....signal is the worst. Screenshot of the app I use...

T-Mobile's network doesn't have the strongest coverage, but whenever you have an LTE signal it should connect that way.
My options look like this:
Preferred network mode
-WCDMA only
-GSM only
-WCDMA (preferred)/GSM
-LTE (preferred)/WCDMA/GSM
I'm positive. I got the information by dialing *#*#SERVICE#*#*.
Could you please tell me your customization version number? It can be found by dialing *#*#SERVICE#*#*, and then select SERVICE INFO -> SOFTWARE INFO. Mine is 1281-5456_R1B, which is for phones used in Taiwan. I am wondering whether that matters and whether I should flash a different firmware.

Understood now. When the signal was good, I got 24Mbps down and 12Mbps up. So it's good.

It wouldn't be impossible to get 24 Mbps down on T-Mobile's "4G" HSPA+ network, I've gotten 23 Mbps a couple times. 12 Mbps upload would be a bit of a stretch, usually only 2-4 Mbps are seen.
My phone has customization version 1281-1981_R1B. I can't quite remember off the top of my head but I believe this phone was destined for the Indonesian market.
Has anyone been able to get 5G support in the USA with Xperia 1 lV XQ-CT72 ?
I have tried T-Mobile and also AT&T on mine and the best I can do is "LTE+" on T-Mobile
On AT&T it says only LTE, yet I am getting the same DL speeds as I did wit T-Mobile around 84mb

Check if you have NR selected in Sim Mode
That is 5G, on Reddit people have tried it and they say it's working
Also check you have the SIM card in Primary slot

Thanks again I was able to figure it out on my own here In the USA my Xperia now shows 5G with AT&T I’m not sure if I am actually getting 5G speeds though
With a good connection what should my DL speeds be approximately?
Lastly I assume when the US variant starts shipping here in the States it will probably not support Wi-Fi calling either
Hard to tell really, depends on a type of network, congestion, signal quality.........and server speed on the other side.
Its clear to me that with the international version of this phone in the USA you don't get 5g speed
I did a test I ran SpeedTest using the same SIM card. One on my iPhone and got over 150mp transfer, I then put there same SIM card in my Xperia 1 IV device and even though it shows "5G"Service I am getting half the speed approximately 70mp download. So it's still running in LTE mode... Vert frustrating
But that doesn't tell that it's LTE. 5G can be worse then LTE. Unless you can lock on a specific cell on a certain tower and do proper testing which can also give veeeery different results, it's hard to tell what you are actually using. There are some apps that kinda tell you network info but it is not the same as proper testing app with all the details and ability to lock on to a specific cell. Been doing that with Huawei equipment recently and......well, very time consuming process and very frustrating vhen the same phone on the same spot can lock on some frequency but can't on another for the same technology on the same tower. And speed was anything from 50-500 MB, depends whether it was low band or high band and 735347 factors. And repeating the test right after can produce very different results.
Unless you try that 20 times with each phone on the same spot and preferably in hours of lower congestion and then have some consistency in results that xperia is always twice slower it might be just coincidence.

I live in a rural area where there is only one tower. I did the test one after another. First with the iPhone using Speed Test from Ookia and then pulled the SIM card out and put it in the Xperia, using the same app on the Xperia I experienced much slower speeds and I did run the test multiple times.
I am in Australia, before this trick I got a maximum of 200mbs after figuring this out I am getting 300 - 800mb so it seems it's working on my end
have too be careful what actually being displayed for 5G service icon , I have found on the XQ-CT72 it will show 5g icon, but with LTE dicovery app, it shows its only connected to 2 different LTE bands, the download speeds are horrible like 10mbps, with the USA model pixel 6 pro it shows 5g and LTE App shows its connected to 5G NSA71 which is the true "5g" band and download speeds are 75-100 mbps, so I returned my 1 IV and see what happens with the USA model after it been out a while., then maybe I`ll buy that one, until now pixel 6 pro for now.

Are folks checking if 5G is ACTUALLY being broadcast in their areas? Just because we see advertising on TV for 5g or a phone has 5g capability (have to check bands but some versions of this phone do have the 5g bands for the US) or a phone displays 5g in status bar (lol) but in reality is getting 4g (aka LTE). Even all typical LTE bands are not all broadcast in any given area e.g in my area Tmobile has 4 and 2 but nothing else and AT&T has 2 and 17 and nothing else. Too many times I see people endlessly discussing these 4g/5G issues without looking at the actual towers and what they are sending out in their respective areas.

You have to also check what bands are actually being broadcast by the towers in your area of usage. Further the carriers go loose with the way what they call 5g (marketing). Also bands like 66 extended LTE is just seen in a couple of spots in a general large area like 30 x 30 sq miles where I am. At least that is what I have seen.
