Hi guys,
Sorry this might be a stupid question, but here we goes.
This morning i found that there was no internet available on my lovely SuperHD2 Android ROM, and yet once i changed into WinMo i had almost full H signal and internet working fine... I noticed on this android build i cant see if i am only on GPRS, 3G or HSDPA ... am i missing something or is there a way i can force icons to always be there ?
Cheers

Didnt change anything..all of a sudden cant connect to the 3g network..It wont show the icon ( 3g) Just has The G icon and now turned to E..
I just did a master reset ( the problem was happening before, hence the reset) to hopefully fix the issue.. now it just gives "E" instead of the usual 3g and I cannot make video calls or connect to the HSDPA.. I heard there was network issues today...I am in Brampton Ontario.. I have other family members with the Samsung A706 and 3g access is perfect as usual.. I also had the Roger's guy to reset my account and took out the battery etc.
Strange..any thoughts or advice..solutions??
Same problem to me

I had Fun-Keys Rom working perfectly, and like a dumy, I put the new vp3g_3.62.3 because.. well I can't just let things alone. No 3G, no Skype. Tried Fun-Key's again. Nothing. Tried Schaps_WM6Pro_WWE_4.00_Full. Nothing..
Now no 3G, No Skype,
If anyone can help...
Thanks!!!

Hi everyone.
Since upgrading to 1.66, I have noticed something rather annoying and hope someone can provide a solution to fixing it.
When I was on 1.48, the H icon at the top of the screen would always be there. I was effectively connected to the internet all the time, and was able to leave MSN messenger etc open and I'd always be online.
When I upgraded to 1.66, the icon at the top of the screen is always 3G. It only changes to H when I'm actually using the internet. If I open the browser and check out a website, the 3G changes to H and the website begins to load. It changes back to 3G when any internet connectivity is idle.
I can only access the internet when H is displayed, but I want it connected permanently like it was on 1.48.
It's like the phone is disconnecting from the internet when I'm not using the browser. It's not very useful when I need to keep MSN messenger open all day.
Thanks.
It's not disconnected when it says 3G. It simply switches to the slower mode when nothing is being transferred to save resources. As soon as something actually needs to be transferred it goes to H again to get the fastest available speed.

Ah, okay. I can't seem to visit any websites when 3G is displayed though. Perhaps that could be to do with my operator settings or something?
i have had the same problem since installing the sms patches.... i have since hard reset to remove the patch... and testing it now... it is very anoying because it keeps my msn disconnected...
I'm using Dutty's 1.5 (it's a great ROM!) with a 2.07 radio and I've got the same problem..
When it says 3G, nothing seems to come through.. when it changes to H, the webpage starts loading...
Does anyone have a fix to make it not switch back and forth between H and 3G? It gets frustrating because it often takes 1 or 2 seconds to switch between the modes....

Let us know how to you get on because I need this fixed.
My MSN stays connected fine in 3G. Push email works perfect too.
The icons only show the available type of signal.
They don't mean you are connected.
When you do connect by opening an app that uses the appropriate signal then the icon changes to show the signal that you are connected with.
If H is not available in a particular area then it will stay on 3G and if that's not available then G with show.
Hey guys. I'm on my 4th HD2 handset now since upgrading my vodafone contract one month ago. First two handsets had similar probs as allot of you have had, i.e sms not working, alarm not working etc etc. I upgraded to the 1.66 rom when i got my 3rd handset from phones4u. I then started getting the same issues as you just described- internet only profficiently working when H coverage is active. When it goes below that then nothing happens at all. I returned the handset today and got a new one. This one already had the 1.66 Rom update installed and sure enough, had the same internet issues. I started fiddling with settings and changed the band setting from 'auto' to 'WCDMA'. ( just trial and error, so senior members please chime in if i have given bad advise!) This seems to keep the network coverage constantly in H and since changing it several hours ago i have not had any issues.
Start> Settings>Wireless controls>Phone>Band> Change Auto to WCDMA
Give it a go!

Wouldnt that make the phone stick to the 3G/HSDPA/WCDMA band only and cause the phone to have no reception around certain areas that still operate on 2G GSM?
Exact.
I rather tend to do the opposite for that reason if I have trouble (sometimes you're in areas where 3G reception is low and it keeps switching between 3G and EDGE all the time), I'll force EDGE only. It's slower, but at least the connection is constant.
When at work mine fights bewteen 3g and h and both are like 1 bar signals, i'd rather disable both when at work as G is full signal.
Is there a way?
Hi there,
I've got a really big problem with my TD2, since i tried a tweak to increase the lifetime of the battery 3g completely broke. I found the tweak somewhere here in the Forum, but I wasnt able to find it again. I was using the XDAndroid ROM and tried to tweak the connection using the service menu (*#*#4636#*#* in android. setting the phone to "GSM only" should still allow 3g with less battery drain in general) but since that whenever my phone is connected via 3g i just don't have internet. It still connects to the network and also shows the 3g or "H" icon but i cant reach any server.
This happens in WiMo and in Android!
As soon I set up the phone only to use GSM everything just works fine. Already tried every possible setting within the android tool but it jumps back to "Unknown" everytime.
I also tried flashing the radio with the 4.49.25.91 ROM from this thread. That didn't help either :/
My WiMo i flashed to the current energy ROM, too.
I really don't know what to try anmore, if someone have got an idea please tell me
Flash it back to your stock ROM and see if that fixes the issue.
Nope :/
Just more slow and ugly than the energy rom ^^ 3g still won't work.. beside that even when booting to android it wont work, so i dont think it's rom related...
It has to be something about the radio and/or band settings that android messed up and cant be restored with the tools i have.... Maybe someone knows a tool that allows much radio tweaking?
Edit:
Nice, flashed back to energy rom and set up the network type and band again (settings -> personal -> phone) and now it's working again!
Even it wasn't a direct solution, flashing a bit around seem'd to be helpful
Hi,
bad news... 3g is working now, but it's very unstable and slow!
I made some speed tests via internet sharing:
GSM Mode -> Edge ("E" Icon)
Everything is stable and speeds are okay for edge (up to 18kb/s download, that is max. for GMSK?)
3G Mode -> UMTS ("3G" Icon)
Connection is VERY laggy and unstable, sometimes it completely loses connection. Only got a single Test through that messured a download rate of 0.03Mb/s that is even below default GSM and ping time of over 500ms. (Sadly i didn't copy the results)
3G Mode -> HSDPA ("H" Icon)
As long it keeps using HSDPA everything seems stable and fast, i'll run a speed test when i'm back from work (i only have 3g at the town i work) and post the results here when i'm done. Didnt have that much time to test this yet.
Hi to all SGS2 fans out there
I'm a happy user of SGS2 but I noticed some problems during WCDMA usage. After few minutes of using 3G/HSDPA connection is still looking good on the signal bars but I'm unable to open any webpages/android market etc. I have to disable and re-enable data connection in settings to get it back working... for another couple of minutes..
Secondly I have short breakups during calls. When I'm talking to someone the phone mutes for a second. It doesn't happen every time - but it's quite often.
I'm currently using Lightning ROM 1.5 - but I had the same issues on 1.4, 1.2.
When I'm using GSM only - everything is fine.
Do you think I have a faulty unit?
I'm getting a similar issue. Currently on VillainRom 1.4. Full 3g bars but cant use browser, market, etc.
hi,i have just sign to forum now,i was looking around and seems like very populer here.

its a normal thing when some kind of background data or sync or net is active it will turn "H" and when not internet is active it will stay "3G"..

so basicly you say "dont worry about signal changing on you bar every seconds" trhis is normal and it happen all samsung galaxy s2,am i right?
I have problems getting internet on my phone while i`m indoors. My network signal is full and yet i can`t open any pages. I can see the upload signal (the two arrows pointing up and down) but the download signal is gray most of the time. The settings are ok and i know that because the moment i get out on open space, i get internet and it works as it should.
I recently installed Phoenix rom and also Alliance rom hoping that it will solve the problem..but the problem is still there. Any thoughts?
Thank you
Bump !
Make sure the 3G signal is strong in your area?
