I have an annoying problem with my Touch HD. When I get out of the 3G network range, the phone seems to switch to EDGE but the Internet connection terminates (the title bar icon switches from range bars to the antenna image). Even after I disconnect manually (the phone still thinks it's connected), it won't negotiate GPRS/EDGE connection until I reach 3G network range again or I turn off the radio and log into GSM network again. The other way (2G -> 3G) works fine.
I have the original radio version 1.09.25.14 and ROM 1.14.405.3 (22273) WWE. I've tried different band settings (auto and UMTS 2100 + GSM 900/1800) but it doesn't help.
Do I have to flash the radio? I don't really want that, apart from that problem the phone's working fine. The problem annoys me a lot, especially when I'm listening to network radios in my car.
I've searched the forums but haven't found anything on that.

Does anyone have similar experiences.
- I forced GSM but AUTO for the band.
After I reboot the X1 data connection work immediately, means it starts connecting the G/E (you know the arrows moving arrond for few seconds and than connected). After a while it automatically disconnects. Fine.
But after a few hours the X1 is not able to connect anymore, arrows move arround like crazy for making the connection, but it stops without success.
REboot again, and immediately after trying to connect (and a few seconds of arrows moving in both direction in taskbar) the connection is UP.
I now changed the Band from AUTO to European 900+1800Mhz and it seams to work for the last few hours.
Did anybody else have similar observation?
Thanks for your feedback!
Yes i had same problem with some custom roms but not in orginal rom.If you having problem choose your band manual not auto.Cheers
just out of couriosity:
what makes your x1 build up a data connection right at the beginnig?
(european too here, never had any issues with stock or cooked roms)
change your radio, I had the same problem with X1i and 1.14 and had to go back to 1.06, now i am using 1.10 but i cant use 1.14 neither 1.11..
Thanks all for you feedback. wanted to let you know that after a day it has not been the manual band selection to make "starting connections" working stable. again, as soon as I want to e.g. send/receive emails it start trying to connect (you know arrows both directions until you see E or G in signal bar) but does the same stupid thing as before....giving up after 30 seconds with no success. Reboot and everything works fine.....

Is there anybody with similar observations?
Its really annoying, after some hours only reboot makes internet connection work fine.
I have a small problem
When I watch youtube via the built in app, somtimes I able to watch the video within a few second, streaming is very very quick. Other times it takes ages to load and then only loads in short sections.
I have noticed that when the connection indicator (Signal strength) shows "H"then me streaming is quick
When the connection indicator (Signal strength) shows "E or 3G"
then me streaming is very slow.
Have a look at the 2 captures of my screen. Have a look at the top of the srceen, to the right of start icon.
The H & G icons change by themselves, without me doing anything, why is this?
What i would like is for the H icon to be there all the time so the i can enjoy fast streaming..... Is this possible???
I know these icons relate to mode either 3G or GSM but what does the H mean? I've noticed the the H icon comes on when i connect my phone to me laptop via USB, it then stays on when i disconnect.
Most of the time 3G is indicated
Anyone out there that can help me enjoy fast streaming????
Cheers
It all depends on your mobile operator, whether it is offering GPRS [G], EDGE [E], HSUPA [3G] or HSDPA [H], GPRS being slowest and HSDPA being fastest. Also many mobile operators have base stations equipped with normal 3G mode and some may be equipped with HSDPA which is 3.5G. If your mobile phone is connected to the base station offering 3.5G, then you will get fastest streaming. If you want to make your phone stay on [H] that is HSDPA, then your phone will get network only on HSDPA enabled base stations. Meaning that your network reception maybe weak or null at some instant.

i have also problem similar for that weak signal.
if the GPRS is showing in the network logo.. the network indicator is down or weak..but if only GSM it is good the network.
what will i do so that the GPRS signal is good just like the GSM...
because if i disable the GPRS, maybe i will not used the internet sevice...
any idea guys...
I'm having a very strange problem with mobile Internet. As soon as I launch an application which uses GPS the 3G becomes disabled (without any notification in HTC widget or Settings menu, only 3G icon in notification area disappears).
I cannot get 3G connection back unless I reset the phone.
I run Villain12.0 and 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.11 radio. Should I upgrade the radio to something else. What can you recommend for Villain12.0?
Thanks.
same problem here with HTC Dream G1 (ROM: froyobylazlo)
Can anyone help on the fact that enabling GPS disables 3G connection? Thanks
Edit: I found the solution here: http://androidforums.com/htc-desire/110012-gps-usage-makes-3g-connection-stop.html

Hello.
I am new user of Samsung Galaxy Spica in Poland. In our country in Play network, we have very big problems with HSPDA connection. HSPDA is not fully supported by network operator however this phone is still trying to connect in this mode causing interuption in internet connection. Is there any way to disable HSPDA and stay in 3G mode? With this problems we can't even download programs from market because of connection interruption. This is very frustrating.
Thanks for any help
ps.: sorry for my english, I am still learning
What version of android your spica has?
If 2.1 (Eclair), go to settings> wireless&networks> mobile networks> enable use only 2G networks.. That should allow only 2G connections.. Have your wifi network connected and download all u want from market..
Android v2.1 rooted Samdroid
But 2g is way much slower comparing to 3g... and i need 3g speed to my work. I am tethering net to my notebook while working.
Is there no way to just block HSPDA and leave 3g?
I had the same problem and I found that only on JCE (or JCF) firmwares 3G works OK. (seamlessly switches between 3G and HSDPA). I don't know why in all next firmwares there is a problem with using 3G in ours network ("Play"). This problem doesn't occur in other polish networks. Only in "Play" and on almost all firmwares, excluding JCE/JCF.
Does anyone know which files should I copy from JCE firmware to the newest version of firmware (eg. JH1), to have the latest fw. and 3G working correctly (like in JCE)?
alejka21 You are using APNdroid right ? if yes then change it to "SMODA"
in service menu i find option disable HSDPA.

Hi all,
Can someone help me please : ) Thanks
The problem is network connection mode from GSM to WCDMA and opposite WCDMA to GPRS
Is It some way I can disable GPRS data connection, but keep WCDMA data connection + keep GSM signal as well
I will explain way : )
The problem is when Im driving my car and listen internet radio.
So when Im driving seem Im passing 3 Network Cells in my road to work
Each time when phone connecting to other cell first he connects to GPRS signal later he changes to WCDMA data Everything is logical maybe how the network cells works
But it is not good for me as the time phone goes to GPRS data / mode my radio stop working and before I have 3G signal maybe 5 minutes or more ….
1 When phone in GPRS mode and the radio on it is seams trying to stay for wile before connecting to WCDMA Maybe up to 5-10 minutes
2 When phone in GPRS mode and the radiooff phone in couple minutes changes to WCDMA
---------------
So one day I set my phone network to WCDMA MODE to see what happens and I can to believe that my phone all time keeps 3G ( WCDMA) connection without problem Internet radio work without stopping not crashing nothing at all everything perfect ….
BUT When I drive to my work place where is the signal very poor I have lost phone connection to network because my phone signal to only WCDMA MODE -- So to have signal in my work I need to change to GSM mode or auto mode
Is it some way I can have GSM mode + WCDMA MODE but without GPRS data connectivity or some way to block my phone connecting to GPRS mode data ?
Thanks for help
I have found on google play
Than someone have app for what I need The app name 3G Data Only
But I would like to know how manually I can disable 2G data ?
I do believe that in phone setting some way impossible to disable this + my phone rooted so I can what I need : )
