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.
*#*#197328640#*#* -> [9] Common -> [7] Factory test -> [5] HSDPA Status Check

Have you checked your network settings? in wireless is it set to gsm only? need to set it to gsm and wcdma preferred. Also check you have an entry under apn settings.

yea i have it set to gsm and wcdma preferred, but i just noticed that it took off my username and password under my apn settings, anybody with rogers wanna share their settings for me
nvm figured it out... just hit the default settings and it works now
I have somewhat the same problem. I installed Juicedefender today, and found out that after disabling 3G, getting the 3G connection back is problematic. I tried and deinstalled all apps which had APN control. Now I'm left with a 3G connection which is very hard to find, even planemode and reboots don't work initially. After going trough the MMS and mobile network (don't know if it's the correct translation, I have a Dutch version) settings, I sometimes randomly get a 3G connection, and then it stays on as long as I don;t disconnect it. and the 3G speed also seems allright its just when I manually disable it, getting it back is a huge pain.
Any idea how I can fix this, or at least measure the 3G reception ?
Hi
Trying today my new phone, I see that I cant connect to 3G networks. I put the sim in it, got signal (with a tiny R up in the bars), can call but I don't get any icon of 3G, so if i dont use wifi I dont have connection.
With my old HD2 android works without problems and I dont need to configure anything, it works out of the box. Here I tried to force GSM mode only instead of auto and connect to a specific network but doesnt work either.
My operator it is a reseller of others so I have marked the checkbox of roaming data and all that stuff, but nothing, it doesn't connect.
Any idea?
I have an Omnia 7 on US AT&T and my data connection is really slow, I suspect because it's constantly switching from 3G to 3G+. I had a Focus before that only had 3G connections and I didn't notice the slow data issues.
Is there anything I can do?
You download this xap (it work only if you have unlock your phone with Chevron)
In the screen you scroll in the way down e click on "Enable 3G Toggle".
Then restart your phone. After the restart you go to Settings-->Data network. Scroll down and you discover a new tab : 3G Connection . Shout down this and your connection should work correctly.
Thanks, but will that disable all 3G or just 3G+?
It doesn't seem to do anything, I toggle the Enable 3G and the 3G icon stays on.
I think that it will disable only 3G but i'm not sure :/
You try this and then you let us know
Hey forum,
i go away from home and i have no more wifi connection.
Then i suddenly get a connection to mobile internet (EPlus) first.
As i am in an area without a connection and i come back to EPlus, i can use my phone for telephone and SMS but i get no internet connection automatically.
I must use the airplane-mode to totally logoff and 5 sec later go out of airplane-mode. In this way i get the internet connection back.
My wife has the same problem with Incredible S and GingerSense 1.3.
Is this maybe a problem of EPlus? Or is there anyone with tve same problem and another provider?
Andreas
Perhaps it's your wifi giviing you problems, going bad.
Sent from a dream.
If the signal of your provider (in this case Eplus) is weak, it might not find it right away.
Also, try going into Settings>Wireless settings then under Network mode, check if it says GSM/WCDMA
This setting will try to connect to 2G or 3G whichever has the strongest signal, however if both are available, 3G will be selected.
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 : )
