I got 925 f edge which fail to reach the Web with 3g and 4g, and no calls can be received also.,
Only with 2g I can get Internet and calls.
Any thoughts!

Guys,
I am about to received my SGS 2 tomorrow.
I am in Australia on a 850mhz 3g (read not GSM) network (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Next_G)
I know the phone supports this band, but I see some region firmwares floating around and am wondering if ALL firmwares support this band? Or is firmware specific.
Thanks guys.
Im on VR1.1 with everything else stock and next g is cool with me. Preordered from UK so mines from release.

Can I ask how you know your on Next G and not just 3g?
You can use non 850mhz Bands with Telstra and get std 3g.
Well im just assuming. But where i live all my family get 1bar with optus/3/voda whereas i get full bars. If u have a way for me to check ill have a look

not really sure how to check, the best I could figure out is install Network Info II and check network type
Should be HSDPA/UMTS?
I cant seem to find any tool to tell you exact frequency the phone is using.
It is not firmware dependent (If someone buys a Vodaphone branded SGS2 it is still going to work with NextG, but it will probably just be SIM locked). NextG is HSPA noted by the 'H+' symbol. When I was on Three is was just 'H' which is HSPDA.
If you dial *#*#4636#*#* and go phone information -> menu key -> Select Radio Band -> AUS2 Band
AUS2 is NextG 850Mhz, so if you get internet access on that, it is running NextG. The Phone Information section will also tell you your current network protocol also. If it is reporting UMTS then click the 'run ping test' button, it will flick over to HSPA
Hspa when data is being used
Umts when data is inactive

Also just rum some speed tests and you'll know if you're on 3g or HSDPA.

thanks guys.
Once it has charged I will put SIM in and test all this, very excited as moving from my HTC Desire
Sorry to dig this post up from the grave, but I'm about to move my SGSii to Telstra, as well.
I was wondering if you found benefit to these changes, and if you've changed anything further since.
Have you found any particular ROM/modem to be better (either in reception or battery life) than others.
And, finally, what sort of battery life do you get? I get about 14 hours before I have to plug it in, but I get terrible reception at work (I'm currently on 3), so I'm thinking that might have something to do with it.
Thanks heaps.
Please someone tell me the way to get faster 2g download speed with resume support on our beloved optimus one..
I'm using airtel mobile office...
Any help would be appreciated..

theoretical max for edge is around 470 kbps (bits not bytes). and you will get this speed if you have no interference and you are the only one in the entire cell using it.
so, whatever you do, you cannot improve the 2g speeds (to which you are hoping). maybe you can install a more optimized kernel which might get you a more better processing time.

When u uncheck 2g network, device have permission to use 3g network...so u definitely get 3mbps in 3g

how to get 3G with AT&T? i got only 2G
1.) Make sure your phone is 3g capable
2.) Make sure you live in a 3g area, which most of the country is.

I had a question for you guys using the international on AT&T.
On my GS2 I remember when data was not being used and was idle the signal meter would show 3G and switch to UMTS and when I used the connection it would switch to H/H+ HSPA.
With my GS3 however, it's constantly showing H even when it's idle. It's NEVER really goes into UMTS mode even when it's idle. I've seen it switch to 3G for a split second every now and then, but then switches right back to H in a split second. In my status I see it's using the HSPA network, not UMTS. The times that I saw it switch to 3g for a split second (I happened to have the status open) I saw it switch to UMTS then switch right back to HSPA.
I know switching to UMTS when the connection is idle saves battery life So I'm wondering since mine doesnt switch to UMTS if it's affecting the battery life
I've tried different modems, in network settings it's set to Auto.
So my question (after that wall of text) is does your phone switch the UMTS when it's idle and show 3G? Or is it constantly showing H like mine?
I'm trying to figure out why the hell it wont stay in UMTS when there is no data activity. If it does switch to 3G/UMTS when it's idle anyone have any ideas what could be going on with mine?
anyone? lol

I actually asked this question myself a few weeks back and never got a straight answer. It would be nice to know, since mine is always on H. My S2 did the same thing, would always switch to 3g when idle.

Maybe you guys should try gokhanmorals fast dormancy app from the play store.
And maybe take a look at the thread that was floating around here about proper fast dormancy settings for at&t.
Mine switches from h to 3g as soon as it stops transferring data.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Mine switches to 3G as soon as data is stopped transferring. No problems here. and it will sit on 3G until data kicks in again and picks up to H+

hmm so it also happens to K Rich's phone. Can you do me a favor? from the dialer hit *#0011# what band does it say when it's connected to 3G/UMTS?
I can also get it to stay on 3G constantly by changing a setting in the advanced phone control menu, but then it doesnt switch to HSPA when data is active.
Sorry never mind. It doesnt do it anymore since i am on LG8 :/

ditto, well at least this week
Does anyone know a method just to stick with h+ data signals instead of switching to 3g.
Fyi in my area 3g reception is poor n always toggle between h+ n 3g.
The h+ signal is pretty good n it's enough for use also.
Therefore I thought if I can stick with h+ it will save my battery life.
Please comment your idea or solution.
Thnx in advance

You can only set your phone to your mobile providers Mobile Data capabilities. It is not something you can set to work at just h+... this depends on the strength of your carrier in the particular area you are at. Your phone will pick up the best signal it can. Mine also goes back and forth, depending where my location is... and the building structure I'm at (and how much interference there is between buildings, etc)... unless it's some hardware you can attach (like antenna on inside of back cover) to boost signal.
I remember for my S2 device... someone posted a way to just have a certain mobile data signal... but it didn't really work, just had the symbol, but obviously still can only get what my phone was able to pick up.
If someone else knows a solution I haven't heard of, would like to hear it.
Oh thnx.
Plus no one will try to create a mod to use the less power signal instead of 3g. So seems like this is it.
But my idea was if a developer can make a mod to stop looking for better signals after achieving h+ that's it.

Lol... H+ stands for hsdpa/hspa ...it is 3.5g...faster than 3g
The phone runs on H+ during data usage and 3g for calls
