Hey guys,
I've just got this Galaxy S3 which was bought from m:ts Serbia and put in my Telenor Serbia SIM card - everything worked fine, i could make calls and everything but I realized that it could only establish an EDGE connection and no HSPA or any other 3G connection. When I select WCDMA preffered, it still only gives me EDGE or no signal at all. I've tried installing Cyanogenmod but no luck, the problem persists.

I have a Bell branded and rooted Galaxy S2. I noticed that the phone will not switch away from H+ even when it has no bars. I have tried turning off HSDPA completely by using the *#301279# - Change HSPA revision method to no avail (it actually doesn't seem to do anything at all, the phone still shows H+). I thought that I might be able to get the phone to switch by setting it to only connect through GSM in the Network Settings, when I did this, the phone got 5 bars of connection but it would not make any calls and said I had an "Unrecognized SIM" and would only allow Emergency Calls. My question is this:
TLDR: is there any way to fix this issue and get my phone to switch to 3G or EDGE when a strong H+ connection is not available?
Are you using a Bell SIM card? Bell doesn't have a GSM or EDGE network so it is probably connecting to the Rogers network. My Bell service has roamed on that network, but only when a Bell signal isn't available. If you're in an area where Bell has service, it probably won't let you roam, giving you the unrecognized SIM message.

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.
does anybody got a new hack for airtel network ???
what hack???
I'm guessing he wants to enable a normal 2G internet plan on his network for cheap, but use it in 3G by switching to 3G mode. As far as I know, with Airtel the only time I've seen this work is with my friend's AT&T Galaxy S2 unlocked from the US. It's a 4G phone and it doesn't have the usual 'GSM only', 'WCDMA only', 'GSM/WCDMA auto' modes under network settings. So when he recharged for a 2G pack, the phone connected to Airtel's 3G network and displayed a 'H+' symbol in his status bar. He gets 3G speeds quite a few times but sometimes it becomes as slow as 2G. I haven't seen this work on a normal phone bought in India.
I used to get 3g speeds on 2g internet pack from airtel.I always keep the network mode to wcdma.
But sometimes i also get very low 2g speeds.
All this on my old samsung galaxy s

pls somebody help me with a trick
thnaks
I am from India. I got a Samsung galaxy S3 a gift from a friend and he got the mobile from Thailand. I applied for the 3G connection of airtel India. But despite using all the settings and workarounds the service providers told me, I am still getting only Edge connection but no 3G connection.
Is there some internal module or something missing in the phone for which this may be happening?
Or by any chance, is it because that the phone is bought from a different country?
Thanks in advance.
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
