Hi guys
Today i want to do a speed test on edge ( 2g ) by switching network mode to gsm only .
After switching back to wcdma i no longer get 3g . I only get E for edge .
I have froyo tayutama superslim .
I switched to darky rom still same issue .
I tested my sim in another phone 3g worked.
I tested another sim in my phone i get no 3g.
What do i do to get 3g back ?

Hmm, one thing that always helps me if I have problems with apn is to go to wireless and networks- mobile networks - apn - reset to default.
Well, and there are full proof methods - data wipe, dalvik cashe wipe, cashe wipe, reflashing of firmware completely.
I had to manually input my provider's APN after installing Tayutama's rom:
Settings > Wireless and network > Mobile networks > Access Point Names
If you don't see your APNs there, you have to set them up manually. Check your provider's site for the neccessary information. Good luck.
PS: You shouldn't be posting this kind of request in the dev section. It belongs in the Q&A section
thanks for your help guys.
data WORKS but only on 2g which is EDGE but it doesn't work on 3g !
i already tried 2 different rogers apns.
and i already performed a data wipe, dalvik cashe wipe, cashe wipe, reflash of firmware completely.
and just to let u know an APN Can't control 2g or 3g.
Maybe you're over your provider's data limit for 3g then? Mine automatically switches me to 2g if I get over a certain volume.

Ah, didn't look at your provider. You might have problems with modems. As canada uses 850 band. Though you probably know that.
besides that - try setting not just gsm or wcdma in settings, but auto. I often have problems with switching them to just one setting. But auto always works.

Did you manage to solve this? I am having the same issue and googling never turned up anything.
The only way I could force it back on to WCDMA 2100 bandwidth is using servicemode.
If I toggled GSM only it goes to GSM900. But I cannot get it back to 3G where my home has decent coverage. GSM900 has extremely bad coverage in my home but good elsewhere in my region. 3G isn't covered regionwide so I get missed calls and lost SMSes.
Yea i lost the 850 band. Try *#*#0011#*#* rgen go to network then band selection then input key 5 which should bring 850. If that doesnt work just search for doc rom

Hi all,
I'm struggling to get data connection over the 3G network, even though I've got a data plan and the settings seem to be on point.
I'm based in Dubai and I've got a Middle East tab (garbage as the firmware excludes the Android Market), so I've flashed a recent Euro firmware (JIP was the build if I recall)
When I go into network settings to choose 2G/3G/Auto, it shows me GSM and WCDMA as the choices. I'm pretty sure before the flash, it showed GSM and WCDMA. Is WCDMA the same as HSDPA?
The problem could be with the carrier, but I'm troubleshooting at the moment and this WCDMA is a bit confusing.
Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Have you checked your APN settings? Chances are that the Euro firmware doesn't have the APNs "pre-installed" for your carrier(s). The good news is that you can add them in manually if this is the case.
Regards,
Dave

If your display shows a 3G or H type signal, then your problem is a bad APN setting.
WCDMA is 3G and H on your display, if you have that then you're in good shape.
Search the net or the carriers website for the the correct setting, then create a new APN and data will instantly start to flow.
It was missing the apn setting. Justed typed it in manually and Im hooked up. Although i was bamboozled for a little while as the H didnt apear until i had turned off the wifi.
Thanks for all ur help guys.

Hello!
I'm using Rafdroid HD von my HD2 now for 2 weeks and I'm verry happy with it, i just have one problem (dont know if it depends on de android build or on the hd2 or whatever...)
I'm using gsm all the time because it has less battery drain in stand by, but when i want to use data for surfing etc. i switch to wcdma. on my x8 wich i had before this was no problem, it switched within seconds between the networks. Also the HD2, BUT it doenst start a data connection. i just can talk but no data.
in "wireless and network" the option for wireless data is checked, but the whole option is not clickable and it says "starting" (dont know if it says starting, i use the german version, there it say "einschalten..."
when i restart the hd2 then the data connection is working. so all times when i want to switch the data connection i need to restart my hd2.
is there a way to solve this problem?
sorry, i've searched the forum, but i haven't found anything
thanks and best regards, chris
No one who knows something about this issue?
tried this yet??
enter: *#*#4636#*#* in your dialer
go to phone info
go all the way down
now you can manually switch between edge or 3G
(default should be WCDMA preferred)
Thank you, I've foudn this idea before but it doenst change anything.
I'm using the whole day only gsm/edge, but when i need more data (searching something on google etc.) i would like to switch to 3g. after this, back to wcdma. on my x8 this worked well, on the hd2 it looks like it cant start the data connection when switching between the two types of network...

Same here,
when running runnymede rom from dung my phone switches to WCDMA (in *#*#4636#*#*; because of this I have no data connection 3G or HSDPA. When switching back to GSM only data conncetion (3G or HSDPA) is working but after a while phone switches back to WCDMA preffered.. How to change this into GSM only as default???
Hey all yes I am a newbie, but I have been using roms for a quite a while I love the customization of the HD2, we are switching services in a couple weeks to either Verizon or US Cellular but this issue is bugging me like crazy, I used to be able to use my phone in the parking lot at my job, we arent allowed to leave on break, used to get 2-3 bars and an Edge signal, in a place Tmobile says I should have great coverage over the last couple days I have gotten no signal what so ever in the same place I used to use my phone every single day for about a year. I sit there for my whole break trying to talk to my wife while refreshing networks, auto selecting it or manually gives me 4 full bars and an edge signal then it all goes away. I guess why I am posting it to see if anyone has suggestions to what I can do to fix it. The phone works fine at home and on the road just not near work anymore. I have always used different roms, and never had the issue at all, always full task 29 wipes, my current build is
CyanogenMod Version PARANOIDDROID
Kernel 2.6.32-ics_tytung_HWA_r2.4_uniMAC [email protected] #272
Baseband 15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14
Any suggestions are appreciated! Thank you again! Jake
I well ask a obvious question, have you checked your APN's. I knowyou are getting a data signal but maybe one of the APNsettings need to be changed.
Also do you have you checked in Settings/Mobile network/Network mode. See if you have WCDMA only, GSM only, or WCDMA/GSM auto.

Thanks for the response, my only APN is epc.tmobile.com and I cannot locate the network mode... No network mode setting that I can find.
Edit:: Found it its set to WCDMA Preferred is that what it should be?

Try WCDMA/GSM auto that way your device can switch back and forth as needed between WCDMA or GSM as it needs to.
I've not had a 3G/HSPA signal on my N4 for a while now. Trouble is I don't know exactly when it happened as I'm generally on either WiFi at home or at work, where I know I can only get Edge.
I've tried the usual check the APN, *#*#4636#*#* and nothing's jumping out at me (if I tell it to use WCDMA only I get no signal at all).
I'm wondering if it was the 4.2.2 udpate and wonder if I've got the wrong radio - so the question is does anyone know what radio I should have on my N4? I'm in the UK on Vodafone, but I got the phone from the Play Store.
I've tried searching but the N4 seems to have had so many signal issues it's difficult to sift out the relevant stuff
I'm not rooted but I'm happy to do it if needed. Already tried a factory reset so nothing to lose!
Cheers,
Dave
have you tried a different sim card? thete isnt a specific radio per region, so thats not a problem.

Yeah, sorry, forgot to say. I tried the wife's SIM (different operator) and same issue, only got a 2G signal.
I was thinking it might have been an issue when they updated it to remove the LTE "feature"
Even i have the same problem . I am from India and also have tried a couple of sim card . Im not able to get 3g signal at all . Anyone pls help....
i have the same issue solved whit RMA my first nexus 4 was defective, my new nexus 4 changed in warranty now works well
3G/HSPA networks
participles ipntsly
I started having the same issue today in Atlanta. Had another T-Mobile HSPA phone sitting next to mine with 4 bars while I was on Edge. My N4 is < 1 week old and seemed to be OK but now I can't get it on anything other than Edge.
I've checked my APN settings, reset the radio, turned data on/off and reset the phone with no luck.
Any advice?
Update: Just got mine working, here is what I did.
Wasted 20 mins talking to Google and T-Mobile. (I don't recommend this step.)
Type in *#*#4636#*#*
Scroll down and change 'WCDMA Preferred' to 'WCDMA Only'. At this point my bars switched from Edge to HSPA.
Now, undo the change and put it back on WCDMA Preferred. Make sure it still has a 3G or an H next to your bars.
Exit and enjoy the fast phone.

This worked for me.. thanks
I am having the exact same problem as Dave. My n4 has just stopped connecting to WCDMA (H).
I have tried re entering my APN's, Turning on/off mobile network, Airplane mode, rebooting and removing the SIM. From the test menu I have tried WCDMA only but I lose my signal completely and go to emergency calls only. If I use either GSM only or WCDMA preferred I can get a 2G connection but nothing more and when on WCDMA preferred it can lose connection completely as well.
I am also with Vodafone UK.
solution for this
Guys....even I had the same problem.....but was able to solve it.....
Go to settings >apps>all >Google framework services in this disable it and clear data and again enable it....
Enjoy 3g once again ....it worked for me

I tried this as soon as I put WCDMA preferred I lose signal, I have tried doing this in several locations as I live in the country, tried at my school where my friends get H+ and I still lose connection. tried going back to stock still the same issue
Can someone fixed this problem? "WCDMA only" mode make my N4 lost signal.

Getting bars on 'GSM only'
I have got the same issue on my Nexus 4, and I still don't understand how it happened in the first place. I updated a bunch of apps before going to bed and remember waking up to no signals on my phone.
Currently I only receive signal when I go *#*#4636#*#* and set it to 'GSM only'. Any other configuration (WCDMA preferred, WCDMA only, etc) results in loss of signal.
I have tried the following with no luck:
1) Restored Factory Settings
2) Installed an older version of android
3) Flashed multiple radios
4) Steps listed on this thread
Can anyone help me out with this?
Thanks
Hi,
did anyone using Umi Super have any problems with using 4G at 800MHz? Im on giffgaff and even though Umi Super is supposed to work at 4G under 800MHz (thats what the specification states) i cant manage to make it work. I have perfect 4G coverage, 4G sim, 4G tariff, even gave my sim to a friend with S7 edge and it worked on his phone. Maybe new update will fix that? I tried with different sim from different operator (LYCA) and it works but 4G in LYCA is at 2100MHz so I didnt really check the 800. I tried everything and still nothing. Did anyone have similar problem?
I actually bought 2 phones of the same model so I decided to check if 4G worked on the other one and as I put the sim card in I just remembered something and realized same thing happened with my phone. When I put the SIM card in for the first time it DID automatically go to 4G, ok, when I looked for available networks it found O2 4G, granted BUT!!! when i got to "preferred network type" there is only 3G to pick, and THE MOMENT I PICK IT there is not possible to go back. Every network I find from that moment is only 2G or 3G. Now i reckon that a software problem right? See attachments
It is a software bug and I think I sort it out after flashing the phone. For now I sorted out the problem using Networks app by Philipp Mangalov and switching network to LTE/GSM auto
Well it seems the data part of the UMI SUPER is not so super, is it? I face a similar problem but worse. The 4G band of 800 doesn't work(despite being advertized by UMI as supported) but luckily the band of 2100 works without any issues. The problem comes when I'm out of 2100 band coverage and phone must switch to 3G - then I lose all data connectivity completely. So basically whenever I'm out of 4G 2100 coverage(which is often) I am without any connectivity! Anyone facing the same? Solution?

I don't have this issue at all. My UMi Super connects perfectly to my 4g network under 800MHz without an issue here in Uganda. You can install the MTK Engineering app from the play store and check the band compatibility on ur device and you can also set the mode using the same app under android settings.
You could also try updating to the latest OTA which is 20160810 or the one before it by downloading the files from forum post here and saving them to ur phone and updating manually if you don't have the current OTA

This is indeed a software issue, one I have come accross many times - using an app to toggle between the service types is the best workaround!
There are many apps that work to resolve this, some great ones have already been mentioned.

4g Umi Super on Giff Gaff
You need Giff Gaff settings in access point name. If you try and use O2 4g it doesn't work even though Giff Gaff uses O2 network. Settings are really easy to input but MUST be Giff Gaff not O2.

All that's needed is GiffGaff settings inputing manually. Very easy to do. O2 settings that the phone recognises when a GiffGaff sim is used WILL NOT WORK. The Network is O2 but the APN settings for GiffGaff are totally different.
All you guys that think you know what you're doing obviously don't.
No need to Root or use GravityBox or any other App.

Well said. I just shake my head in despair when I see how totally clueless people try to be teachers and Internet gurus with very limited knowledge about the task at hand. These comments should come with warning stickers.
For those who want to be able to switch between 3G/4G and LTE only, use this nifty little APK that I've attached below. It will allow you to enter engineer mode without using the dial code.
Hi
This is a bug implemented in Android 7.0.
I had the same.
1 Just force in your parameters 2G/3G networks
2 wait for network authentification (no more excalamtion mark)
3 go back to 4G
Every thing will be OK to next switch off or plane mode.

LTE band 7 (2600) not working
I recently received my new Umi Super and updated to the last firmware V7.01_20170413, everything works fine except for the 4G. I live in an area where band 7 (2600) is available but the phone can't connect to it. Of course, my preferred network type is set to 4G/3G/2G (auto).
I read a lot about the issue on the internet but I can't find a solution.
I checked the BandMode on the phone by dialing *#*#3646633#*#*, band 7 is included and checked. However, when I tried to remove the other LTE bands and keep only band 7, I got a message explaining that the list can't be empty ("Failed. The band is changed from not null to null, it is illegal"), though the list was not completely empty because band 7 was still selected.
Also, I tried to change the radio band by dialing *#*#4636#*#*, but process com.android.phone stopped working when I pressed "select radio band", even after I cleared cache in phone and sim apps.
Can anyone tell me how to fix the problem and get connected to 4G.
BTW, Network by Philipp Mangelow is not available anymore. Switching between 3G/2G and 4G/3G/2G settings doesn't fix the issue. I tried the giffgaff settings, but the APN gets deleted as soon as I try to save it.
Thanks

You may try to force 3G and then try to force 4G
You may try to user another IMEI number from a UMI device with 2600 support (of course backup/write down the original one before just in case)
http://www.ucc.co.ug/data/imei/2
After the update to Nougat 7.x how long does it take to do a full recharge?
Do you still have fast charge feature (< 1 hour) or do you lost it like all users reported so far?
What about your GPS? Do you have a fast fix after cleaning history and is it reliable (not losing signal often?).

Is it safe to change the IMEI number? and where can I find another number for a UMI device?
GPS is working fine, it fixes pretty fast, but I'm not sure about interruption in the signal because I haven't used it enough yet
