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.
When I manually switch between 3g and 2g it drops the signal completely. When i go from lte to 3g it doesn't drop the connection or give me any errors.
This drop is enough that when I'm in a building i almost always have to have 2g forced. If i have 3g and someone calls i usually drop to 2g, but doing so causes the call to drop instead of handing it off.
I've tried to google it and I've seen this a few other times but I've never seen a clear reason why? Does anyone experience this or know a solution? It's done it on different phones over the last few years. All android too.
Someone must know something. I'm on t mobile in central Florida if that helps
