I need some help with my Galaxy note

Okay so i have the i717 galaxy note and i am using it on T-mobile $30 a month 5gb of 4g(hspa+) ,100minutes ,and unlimited text but it never uses HSPA+ it uses UMTS:3 and says 3G on status bar but it always switches to 3G (UMTS:3) to H+ (HSPA+) is there a way to force to keep it only on H+? and once in a while it says i removed my sim card when i didnt is it because the back of my sim card is getting warn out ? when i look at contacts on back of sim it looks scratched from im slot should i replace my sim ? is that the problem or what? please help thanks !
It uses 3g when H+ is not available, so if your not in a spot with H+ it has to use 3g you cannot stop it from doing so
Besides, speed on a network is determined by the number of users connected to that tower. An icon is only an icon, and doesn't actually indicate your speed; it only shows you the type of tower you are connected to.
im at home and i see it constantly switching over and i went the settings > about phone >status and it shows what network
I think you should tell t-mobile to put a tower in your yard.
And another one in mine ....g

[Q] No Cell signal Meter on Galaxy tab 10.1 LTE

I have a very odd problem with my Galaxy Tab 10.1 LTE (SCH-I905) which have not seen described anywhere that I hope someone can help me with. I am no longer seeing any signal bars instead the area has an x on it. Despite this I can use the Verizon Network and the 4G icon appears. When I look at the strength of the signal it say it is -120. This seems mainly cosmetic since I have always been able to use the 4G network and the speed seems normal. I am able to watch videos without any problems.
I cannot relate this to adding any app to my Tablet. My tablet is now rooted but I am running stock ICS 4.04 on it. This did not change when I rooted the phone. I tried removing most of the recent apps that I have added but this makes no difference. It seemed like this happened periodically before the phone was rooted. It worked fine immediately after I rooted the phone but a couple of weeks afterwards I no longer can see any bars on the cell signal meter, only no bars and an X.
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Michael
I had the same issue with rooted stock 4.04. The bars would only show when I was in 3G coverage and 4G icon would show with no bars when in 4G coverage.
Still have the problem with Infamous 1.8.0.

[Q] Two phones on T-Mobile, but different signal strenght

Hi, everyone.
Could someone help me with the signal strength issue I'm having with one of my phones.
I currently have two I605.
One (white) is rooted with unlocked bootloader with latest CM11
The other (Grey) is rooted with locked bootloader on stock MJ9. (4.3)
I'm using both on Lycamobile on Tmobile network.
The white one is working well with the Lycamobile.
The signal strength is -69 dBm with 22 asu on HSADPA.
I see the network as Lycamobile.
However, my grey phone's signal strength is bad.
It's -90 dBM with 11 asu on HSPA.
THe network is listed as T-mobile on this phone.
The APN settings are exactly same.
The phones are next to each other in the same house.
I have never had problem with the WHITE one any where,
but the GREY one won't connect to the network intermittently
because of weak signal strength outside. I'm not talking about the data.
The phone simply doesn't call or receive calls.
I'm wondering if there's a setting that I should be touching additionally
to unleash or unlock more bands in this GREY phone.
I'd appreciate any insight.
Thanks.

Aosp roms more accurately read the signal strength. The tw rom is reading lower but it just not as accurate at displaying the correct signal strength. It is strictly visual though. This is perfectly normal. Neither phone has to something wrong with it.

Hey, Thanks for the reply.
I'm not talking about the signal antenna icon.
I know that one is strictly for visual. Some shows Full Bar even when it's -100 while some shows 2 bars for the same condition.
Are you saying that even the signal strength reading in dBm is strictly visual as well?
Because I used various signal strength apps and they all show poor strengths in the "poor" note 2.
And I'm curious why there's a discrepancy of showing HSPA vs HSDPA, and Tmobile vs Lycamobile
when I'm using same phone, same cell tower, same service.

Yes it's visual in there as well. Aosp is supposed to read more accurately.I just heard time and time again not to focus so much on those numbers as tw has just as good of signal strength as aosp it just doesn't look like it visually.

Getting "stuck" on EDGE

Hello,
So I've been using my Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro Global Edition (kate) for a month now.
Everything's been going great except for one bug that's really annoying : when I enter an rural area with only EDGE, and then get back into an area that has 3G, H+ or LTE, the phone doesn't switch back to a better data network.
I've found a trick that allows me to get a better network back, by changing the preferred network type to 2G and then to LTE again. Only then does it finally detect the LTE network. It works but it's annoying to have to do this everytime I want to search for something quickly.
I'm currently using CyanogenMod 13 for kenzo with kate modem flashed, but I don't think this is the source of the problem as I previously used MIUI 8 and there was the same problem.
I live in France but I'm almost sure the bands are not a problem as I can receive LTE, but it just doesn't switch to it when on EDGE.
I'm hoping you have some solutions.

Intensity Mobile Signal

Hi good day
Currently my Galaxy S6 Edge 925i, presents problems with the signal inside the home or office loses signal to only emergency call or 3G in very weak way, only to the foreigner I have 4G LTE intermittently, which I recommend? My service provider is ATT Mexico.
1. Check with other SIMs from different companies and the same.
2. Firmware upgrade from 6.01 to 7.0.
3.Reset factory values.
I'm thinking of getting him to change his antennae to see if it works correctly.
Thanks and best regards.
