hi guys,
i have the nexus 4 and i have a big problem..
were i live the signal is not very strong so the phone continually switch betweeen 3g and hsdpa and the battery is very very high!
the signal switch 3g/hsdpa hsdpa/3g every 15 seconds.. u can immagine the battery life..
the question is..
can i disable only hsdpa and keep 3g?
if i put only 2g (avaiable in settings) i wouldn't be able to use internet..
I search it on the forum but i didn't found any answer
thanks

Hi guys,
Just got my Hero and noticed on the bar at the top some letters there, either "H" or occasionally "G"
Wondered what these stood for so downloaded the manual and discovered H = HSPA and G = GPRS..
I also noticed there is potential for it to show "3G" but my phone never does seem to.
I also use Power Manager and noticed that in there the knob always seems to be set to "2G" and not "3G"
Is there a setting on my phone to enable 3G or am i missing something?
Cheers
H speeds > 3G speeds > G speeds
If you are getting H most of the time, don't sweat it, because you are losing absolutely nothing.
Regards,
Dave
Thanks Dave, thats good to know.
I just wonder it too, Only G or H. There is no full H or 3.5G coverage everywhere here but a lot more 3G coverage, so i should get sometimes 3G signal-icon on my phone and it doesn't.
If you search on google for this 3G icon problem you get a lot of hits and questions about it.
So for me i keep still having doubts or questions about not showing the 3G icon.
HSDPA or 3g..
nothing to worry about if your getting H then it means your picking up HSDPA which is quicker than 3g.
Hi guys,
Wondering any way to disable the HSDPA as the signal in my area keeps switching from 3G to HSDPA.
I know the option to just enable 2G.
On Galaxy S II,there was an option from the dialer.

The problem is not the signal, my tab does the same and the signal is very good at my location. This seems to be a feature, maybe to increase battery life?
Umm
Umm...why would you want to disable the faster speed?

Because HSPA uses more power and some areas HSPA coverage is worse, and constant switching may drain the battery futher
I'd like to know if this is possible as well.
HSDPA is only active if there is data-traffic. If there is no data-traffic it will fall back to 3G. So just leave it as it is.
My question, is it possible to enforce my S2 to use only H+ at all times? 3G is not working in my city, and hate to wait the phone to change from 3G to H+. And when the phone is sleep I have no conection to internet, because it use H+ only when you unlocked it.
Life battery is no problem for me, nor the data bandwidth because I'm using a plan with no restrictions.
Any help would be much appreciated.
any one knows how can i disable 3.5G/3.7G/ HSDPA /HSUPA/ HSPA data connection , i want only Normal 3G data connectoin
because i already have poor internet connection due to network operator policie , and my subsecribed bandwidth , so my phone just, use HSPA but no speed is needed , so no battery drain is needed .
so i can save battery when i am surfing the internet

You won't save any battery by that.
And I seriously doubt you wish to use 3G only. 3G is very slow, compared to HSPA speeds. I do not think any of the operators actually limits the speed to 3G speed (384 Kbit/s, for comparison, HSDPA is 14 Mbit/s).
i know that

i know that ,but, my network operator already have very poor connection , no more than 512Kbit/s , i use it only for chat on mobile data ,

btw, i have a question...: does ''use only 2g networks'' saves some battery?? b'cuz i activate that if iam over my limt, bcuz my provider reduce my surfspeed to 64kbits/s and i thought, that didnt affect my surf speed and saves battery?? right or not?
thanks in advance
Using 2G does save battery in some cases. In city areas, it is not noticeable. From my own experience, I can say, that if I use 2G, the signal is strong all the time (operator's 2G antenna radius is larger than 3G), however with 3G, it goes up and down at my home. If signal is strong all the time, phone has to use less battery to keep connected. If signal is weak, phone needs to use more battery to keep the connection.
Long story short - Yes, it can save battery, however in city conditions, it is hard to notice.

yeah you are right.. 2G network consumes very less battery than 3G
Hi all!
Im using a moto E with Tata Docomo sim.
The problem is that when I change my network mode to WCDMA only, the phone shows only 3G and not H+. However, when I go out of my home, I get H+ with full signal.
I've talked to customer care and the issue is that another cell tower which doesnt support HSPA is stronger in my home so the phone connects to it and only shows 3G even when data transfer takes place. 3G is so much slower than HSPA/HSPAP.
Is there any way I can force my phone to connect to HSPA/HSDPA only?? I dont mind if the signal drops a little. Since it is possible to force the phone to using 3G only, I thought forcing to 3.5G could also be done
Also my phone is rooted so changing any system file is not a problem.
Please help..
Thank you.
