Hello guys,
Am in Nigeria, Africa using MTN carrier
but my galaxy mega 5.8 duos never connects to 3G or HSDPA service, its always on EDGE and whenever I turn network to WCDMA only, the network goes completely off and sees no reception, when I check other devices like my blackberry or SG note 2, i get the 3G network.
Please what could be wrong, have read all through forums but didn't seem to find a good answer or solution.
Also whenever I tried to access the service mode through *#32489# it doesn't work
Will be awaiting your responses
Gracias

GT-I9100 will NEVER get better than an Edge connection (shown as an "E" by your signal indicator) on T-Mobile USA's network, because it doesn't have the hardware to receive the right frequencies to do so. To get 3g or faster speeds (shown as "3G", "H", or "H+" by your signal indicator) in the US, you will need to be on AT&T's network, or another carrier that uses the same frequencies.
I bought a 4G SGH-T679 Exhibit II.
all functions are normal but does not work dong.3G enabled just connect to the 2G and the internet is very slow.thought this was blocked by t-mobile as on the galaxy tab. because I live in Vietnam so 4G is not in operation.
We hope to receive help from XDA!
thank!
Sorry if there are mistakes in all viet.boi because my english is not really enough to have the help by google translate
please !,.....................................................
I am using this phone in VN too and I got the same "seem-to-be problem". Per information from T-Mobile Support forum, this may be because of a customization that T-Mobile made to the phone where there is no longer 3G symbol but either EDGE or 4G.

T679
This problem could be related to the band on the phone works usually a TMobile phone works on band 1700 gsm check your at your country provider if use the same.
You probably receiving edge signal which is very slow.
could anyone tell me why the 2100 not work in hong kong?
I think SGH-T679M does NOT support HSDPA 2100 which is used in Asia & Europe for 3G?
Experts please confirm
Hi to all XDA members.
I've scoured across the internet everything I could find about modems and firmwares and which version works for Optus and so on but to no avail so I'm finally asking for some help.
I have problems maintaining 3G network and I've tried limiting the network to 3G network only using "extended controls", sometimes it works, but when there's no 3G available in the area, I wouldn't even be able to connect to the normal mobile network.
Sometimes I would get H+ / 3G signal outside of a building but when I enter it, it will reduce to EDGE and I cannot get my 3G at all, other Optus users maintain their 3G network.
If anyone knows of a solution, please tell me.
Thanks in Advance!
Hello All,
Has anyone had any luck getting a Huawei U8860 to work on T-Mobile in the US?
Here are the details on the phone:
It was a Chinese model that I upgraded to the worldwide Android 2.3 ROM from the huawei site.
I have voice and 2G Edge Data working, but I can't get 3G.
It is a quad-band (GSM 850/900/1800/1900) device.
The phone says it supports 3GGPRS, HSPA and WCDMA. I also read a CNET review where they were unable to get 3G and were limited to 2G Edge.
Has anyone had any luck with this device in the US? T-Mobile or AT&T?
Thanks
3g connectivity
I am in South America, and I am experiencing the same problem. No 3G connection! Please help!!
So far I've tried two officicial ROMs (2.3 and 4.0) withou luck. In fact, I was hoping that the problem was fixed with the new official ROM released today, but I am still getting just EDGE connectivity.
Help!!
I think the problem is the radios on the phone. I did more reading, and it appears that it does not support the HSPA frequencies, so it cannot do 3G in the US. Apparently, the only penta-band phone that does 3G world wide is the Galaxy Nexus. Oh well, the phone is still usable, I just have to suffer through 2G speeds.
Hi,
Recently I happen to move to India from USA. I had Samsung Galaxy S3 - SGH i747 purchased in in US, which was under 2 year contract. I tried to call AT&T guys to give me unlock code but they didn't give me since my contract was not over.
I moved to India and tried to unlock my phone from local shop. I am able to make/receive calls now having these issues.
1. 3G is not working . When I see different available bands in my phone using *#2263#, it shows WCDMA 850, 900, 1700, 1900 and WCDMS IMT2000 under WCDMA band preferences. I am using Vodafone in India which runs on UMTS 2100. I visited Vodafone store couple of times but they are not able to help me. How do I get 2100 frequency in my phone ?
2. Currently I have set preference to run my phone on GSM Band so 2G is working. There are certain areas in my city where Vodafone 2G is also not working. In those areas, I don't receive any call even though I have very good network coverage. I tried switching off my mobile network in case I can receive calls but its of no help.
Request for your to resolve this. I am fed up with this nice working phone and need to purchase new one if these issues don't get resolved.
Thanks
