Hi i have the touch hd since one day now. But dont gave 3G internet contract yet. but everytime he want sto go to internet he uses 3G. how can i put that off. Because its gonna cost me alot of money.

You can delete each 3g connection in settings/connections on your phone or use the NoData app to "toggle" each one
Hi Ive just got the unliminted internet 'bolt on' from O2 and Im not entirely sure how to use it. Under the comms manager i have turned 'data connection' on and ive been able to browse the internet using Opera. It seems really slow, is that all im meant to do in order to get it working? Also, what is 3G? and what does the 3G option in the comms manager do?
thanks.

turn on 3G and if you are in 3G reception area you will have faster data/ internet
thanks for the reply. So ive got the unlimited internet bolt on thing, using 3G isnt going to mean i'll be charged per minute or anything is it? is it just the same as the 'data connection' but faster then?

yes, thats correct, you wont be charged for using 3g on O2, im on thir bolt on plan and have been using 3g for months.
thanks very much ive tried it and it is faster! Just one other thing... does having 3G switched on affect other things like the signal? and phone calls? If 3G is better then why would I ever use the data connection?
3g simply uses battery much quicker compared to when 3g is turned off
Hi, since I got this phone and I've been having problem with the data connection, wifi is working fine, but 3G is not, it shows the 3G symbol but keep switching to H symbol and back again to 3G constantly, i never been able to surf the web or do anything online on 3g connection since i got it.
I tried putting in the setting from my provider and got the samsung network app thingy but nothing helped, even after updating to NoDo.
This is really bothering me i cant enjoy the phone when im outdoors, i switched back to my iPhone 3gs temporarily.
I really hope this can be solved.
I'm thinking if there is some way to make the phone only works on 3G and turn the H off.

H is for HSDPA and is far more faster than 3G. I reckon you run ADC on startup using samsung tools and hopefully the problems with connection will be resolved. Alternatively contact your sim provider for network configurations.
Here it also switches between H and 3G, or well it did on my other wp7 phone my (european) omnia uses 3g+. That's normal; the H mode probably eats your battery alive, and it only switches to it when your data connection is active (i.e. data is being transferred)
Your problem appears to be an Access Point problem, you can configure one yourself at the mobile connection settings page. (bottom). Check the web for the settings you'll need.
You see most phones are configured automatically by their providers, but the omnia probably isn't supported.
Hope this helps
the APN for China Unicon is "3gnet"
just add it your 3g connection will work.
Something strange I've noticed with my Galaxy S II is that data / internet will only work if the 'H' (for HSDPA) is in the status bar, but not with '3G' there...the green arrow will appear next to the 3G when I try to connect to something but it will just time out unless it happens to switch to 'H'.
Anyone know why this would be? Is only the HSDPA network working with my phone, but regular 3G won't?
It is possible that the 3G cells in your area are fully loaded with users.

nvm
i didn't read it well
Same problem here, on 3.
Wondered if it was the phone or the network! If it's a problem with the phone it'll be fixable/covered by warranty though, right?
Same here, it sits on 3g then i try to load a page etc and it goes to h like it carnt use 3g , im on t mobile and they have full coverage where i am

I found an older thread that says it's a feature, keeping the phone in 3G mode to save battery until you do something that requires data which switches it over to H. I've kept a closer eye on my phone and that does seem to be what it's doing, usually taking a second or two to switch over each time I use data.
However, there have still been some times where it stays on 3G and is unable to load data.
Yeah i think your right and also it does not change sometimes and kinda hangs, be nice for it to switch over to H abit faster without battery drain.

I have the same issue with my phone to on t-mobile, not working on 3g then working on H.
It is a right pain to be honest.
No way of stopping this battery save? I would rather use more battery.
It's the network. I have no explanation but only Edge and HSDPA work whether on Samsung or Nokia.
Just tested, this does not occur for me, at least right here, right now. Comfortably loading pages on Google with just 3G signal (T-Mobile UK).
It's faster when I stand on my bed upstairs for HSDPA but 3G does work. Stock firmware from T-Mob, no modifications.

Hey mate,
I have the galaxy s i9000, with optus here in sydney. same problem, only switches to "H" when i make some sort of data request (load a page, open an app that uses internet), it takes a couple of seconds to switch from 3G to H. Sometimes, it keeps flicking back and forth between 3G and H like its having problems connecting to H
I complained to optus, they reckon i'm lying. Go figure.

Sorry.. just to add on, i've tried about 13 different modems on my i9000 and it happens with all of them.
The only fix I've come by? dial *#301279# and disable HSDPA altogether thats the only way my phone will actually load any data on 3G
I have the same thing, but as i understand H and H+ are the highest form of 3G, not a different thing. So I am wondering what mode we are in when 3G appears. UMTS?
Its all very annoying to be honest.
None of my other phones have this problem as they always stay on HSPDA
Same problem here to the extent that pages fail to load on 3g and come up with the error then when I refresh the page once its on H it loads straight away.
Actually this problem is making my phone more or less not usable.
I use the slingplayer alot, keeps skipping on the Galaxy S II as it seems to keep switching between H and 3G.
Put the sim card into my ZTE Blade (Orange San Francisco) and streams constantly with no problem with signal staying on H.
With all the threads relating to 3g and connectivity issues..we can deduce that SGS2's modem really sucks big time..and still no firmware update to correct this even though large number of people is facing some sort of problem with mobile internet which is a main function on todays smartphone.

Anyone know who to e-mail with examples at Samsung?
I guess they won't fix a problem if they don't realise there is one.
Some people will prefer longer battery when its on 3G then H, others will want the constant H.
I got mine a week after it released. The first two updates mine did the same thing, but instead of timing out, it would drop all signal and display the circle. After a reboot signal would come back. From KE7, it has not done it again.
AT&T in the U.S.
same problem, mode switches around when using data, 3 australia
Hi all,
I recall clearly that Tmobile users can talk and surf simultaneously on its network. But I have had issues doing so. It appears that I cannot talk and surf while using Wi-Fi or on EDGE for that matter.
I swear I was able to do this with my old G1. Can anyone advise?
Thanks!
i've had Tmobile before, and i know i was never able to talk and surf.. i mightt be wrong tho, because it was a while back.
I just tested it out:
Wifi - Can't talk and surf
HSPA (4G) - I can talk and surf
EDGE (2G) - Can't talk and surf
I found this while scouring the web:
Yes, you can do this, but only while on 3G. The reason being is because the 3G radio will be used for voice, leaving the EDGE data radio available for data. Wifi should also work while talking.
This makes sense, but makes me wonder why I can't talk and surf while using wi-fi.
When you say you're using wifi, are you uusing wifi calling?

I had this problem to I noticed when I get calls my 2g or edge symblol goes away. So I think this guys right. Also I think it would work on wifi if u used regular calling not wifi calling.
