I have had my phone for over a year now but 3G coverage is so bad , most of the time im on 2g (o2-uk) very rarely does it say 3g o2-uk. it takes ages to get a page due to the fact i keep getting page not found errors.
i rang o2 today and was told to hard reset phone , to update latests updates (both which have been done) and no difference.
i have a 3g sim.
it appears that when it switches to 3g it gets no signal altho i may be wrong
could anyone suggest any tips / tricks to make 3g mode work
Ok I had a similar issue with my O2 reception and the only way I found that helped was to disable HSDPA/HSUPA, I now mainly have a good 3G signal.

how do i do this?
Double posted sorry - please delete (i couldn't find a delete option)
Go to settings Connections Advanced Network and Disable HSDPA/HSUPA.
As we all indians know, tata docomo has even stopped providing 3g network to those who have not subscribed to a 3g net plan... i was wondering if anyone has managed to break through?
2G speeds are very bad here.
Wrong section mate
Go to Carrier Discussion. No network crashing, MODs may issue a warning.
Sorry
Oh I am sorry brother . Apologies. I request the moderator to delete this thread.
Perhaps a gud news : )
I think docomo has started again giving 3g speed..I have used it 2 days ago in 3g nd many have confirmed that they have also got 3g speed..

Oh then it seems I am the one unlucky guy
is there any trick to enable 3g mode? I mean when switched to 3g, d does not show any coverage, but when I take a look at the signal values, there is a network. but somehow it does not show...
No man i didn't do anything else for getting 3g network...i just selected wcdma mode...
U can try enabling data roaming, may be that work....

Hi
I have a really weird problem: i have brand new Oneplus One with CM11s , my mobile gets 3g signal more or less but it cannot find the 2g signal .In my area there is full 2g reception.I flashed many roms,modem firmwares,unblocked the bands supported but nı success.I played around nv items on qpst and i got the 2g signal then 3g and data was gone.I am sure my problem is related with nv items yet i dont know how to do it.I will be very greatful if you can help me.Thanks in advance.
Almost 4 months of having this problem. I dont know exactly what have caused this. I have a D6503 device, and when I tried to register to 3G or 4G network, the device looses the signal "emergency call only", but when I check GSM only the signal comes back. I remember the time when I open *#*#4636#*#* and selected USA band only, that time I looses signal. I reflash my D6503 using flash tool. and the signal comes back. but I dont know exactly if the cause of having no 3g or 4g signal was the result of that. i cant remember anymore. I hope someone here could enlighten me or give me some idea if what exactly is the problem of this unit. Im sure that the simcard reader is fine.

I hope someone here could help me figure out this problem. The 3G and 4G signal on my place is OK. I have a correct APN for this. But the problem is, everytime i enable data, i looses my signal, and my simcard cant register to the network. and a message network not available. When i search for networks, LTE, 3G, GSM will appear, and when I click LTE signals, the phone cant register to network, and I will have no signal then. If i choose GSM (2G), that's the time that I can have a network signal. Would it be posibble that the antenna are defective? (the smaller one where the other end of the wire attached, I think its the board rf aerial PCB flex cable ? I hope some one here can help me
I'm experiencing an odd issue on the SD RedMi Note 4 of my wife (ROM: v8.5.8.0 NCFMIED): where LTE signal is weak and other mobiles switch to GSM (2G) and are still reachable, the RedMi of my wife is still trying to get LTE signal, ending up offline for _long_ times.
I tried to switch preferred mode to "LTE/UMTS auto (PRL)" (mido default choice when "prefer LTE" is selected is "LTE/TD-SCDMA/UMTS", which appears to include the Chinese 3G standard too) like my OnePlus 3, which never looses network, but it didn't help: the only way to have it reliably reachable is switching to "GSM only".
I didn't find anything relevant neither by searching nor by browsing the first 30 pages of this subforum: is there anything we can do to improve this? Thanks!
go to about phone. tap multiple times on total memory, a window will open up. open phone information 1,2. choose type of network you want from multiple options

That indeed solves the issue as I wrote, but I don't think that my wife would be happy if I tell her she has to check the signal all the time and, eventually, _try_ to manually switch to "GSM only", and go back when the signal strength improves... that should be modem job!
Update: the affected SIM was in slot 2; moving the SIM to the first slot seems to improve the mode switch. Still the sensitivity doesn't seem exceptional, or perhaps there is some other issue (1), but at least it seems to correctly switch from 4G to 3G and even 2G where the signal is weak.
Testing in "LTE/UMTS auto (PRL)" mode now (I don't need TD-SCDMA here, I assume there is less overhead with less modes); wondering whether is a modem (read: Qualcomm) issue or a MIUI bug.
(1) sometimes the device still looses the network where my OP3 seems connected with very weak signal (-105 dBm) and LTE Discover reports "Potential eCSFB issue detected" (which sounds odd since eCFSB is a CDMA thing, and there aren't any CDMA network here in Italy AFAIK: could it be the way LTE Discover tells that the phone is unable to handshake an existing network?), until it reconnects. Moreover, it seems that RN4 tends to prefer 3G over 2G even when mobile data is off, which is not a good strategy IMO.
Edit: LTE Discover reports "Potential eCSFB issue detected" also on OP3, which works perfectly: it seems its shown when the terminal was unable to successfully register on a network and stays idle until the next connection attempt
I have sort of similar and opposite problems in the USA.
Mine switches from LTE to whatever H+ is and then never switches back on its own. I'm blaming Xiaomi over Qualcomm.

I have the same problem. I have a weak signal reception in my house. Is there a app that can put a phone to 2g when I am on wifi ?

I tried it, it worked if I used the root option and manually hit the refresh button. I read that the auto refresh only works if the signal is one bar or whatever or less.
My signal is strong when it's on H+, so it would never get low enough to make it auto refresh.
What I need is something that would switch my preferred network to Prefer 3G and back to Prefer LTE whenever I'm on H+ for a while, because that gets me back on LTE every time provided that there's LTE in that area.
My Redmi Note 4x international should be capable to connect to the 1800mhz band, which is available in my neighborhood. Sadly I haven't had 4g or LTE since I've gotten this phone (4 weeks) any ideas why it won't connect?
Vodafone Netherlands in Utrecht city.

Thank you: started testing. It seems that, despite the better signal, even after refreshing the device still ignores 2G and tries to connect in LTE or H+ mode. I'll see in the next days.

Yep, that's very same issue I'm experiencing. I was feeling alone: in the MI forums I couldn't find no one complaining about that.
Did you notice that when the device connects to a Wi-Fi network the cellular signal indicator suddenly rises (it appears to indicate Wi-Fi signal strength) and appears "4G" next to operator's name, even if cellular data is off?
Too bad, if RN4 didn't have such a bugged radio it was a real bang for the buck.

[Shot in the dark] Did you check your APN settings?
Yes I did, all as it should be

Try to get some more info from the "LTE Discovery" app: is the device registered on the 4G network but internet access is absent or the device doesn't even register on the 4G network? Does the device detect the 4G signals?
In this thread we are discussing about the opposite problem: our devices don't switch to 2G when the signal is weak...

Unfortunately it didn't help: it doesn't seem to improve overall operation. It even asks to refresh the Wi-Fi connection when there is no cellular signal...
There is really something ill in this modem. Sometimes the signal indicator shows Wi-Fi signal strength instead of cellular. I hope some future release will fix at least some of these issues.

Sorry to hear that. Try to report to the developer, so he can solve the issue.

Thank you. I think it's not necessary: since yesterday I'm running MIUI v9.0.3.0 and things improved considerably. I'm quite sure the issue was MIUI 8 which had a complete modem mess, not the app, that was doing its honest work just as it was possible.
