I'm on stock rom on Vodafone UK and my Nexus S will not connect to HSDPA, only connects via UMTS. Tried mmessing with APN settings but no luck. Any ideas?
I have i9023 S-LCD version with KD1 radio.
EDIT: Fixed; flashed KB3 radio.
How can you tell if your connection is UMTS and not HSPA?

When I go to Settings>About phone>Status and under mobile network type it says UMTS. In my bedroom I noticed it, where all my other previous phones got a strong HSDPA connection this one only picks up UMTS.
I had the same problem with KD1 radio. Fixed it when I switch to KB3
Try doing some data traffic. There are combinations of networks and phones that idle at UMTS and switch to HSPA as soon as there is data traffic.
Cosmote Greece is one example.

KD1 is newer, but that doesn't mean that KB3 won't work better for you. Just try flashing it. If it doesn't help you with HSPA connection, you can easily revert to KD1. I'm using KD1 right now with 3 Austria, but I get slightly better HSPA connection at work using KB3.

For some reason over the last couple of days my phone has been stickjng on edge service, and once in a while hopping back on 3g/h. I think i read in a few places bionix 1.2 had this problem, but this is the first time im experiencing a problem, and ive had the rom since the first day it was out....
Any advice? Thanks!

If you are using the KB1 modem try flashing the KA6 or KA7Modem, this might resolve the problem. There is a thread with all the modems in the Vibrant forum.
here is the thread;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868774
and like oka1 said try KA6 or 7.
You wanna know what's weird? This morning I rebooted and mine will only connect if I manually set Network Mode to "GSM only". If I try to use GSM/WCDMA (auto mode) I don't even connect to the network. It's very strange. Running the KA7 modem. Hrmmmm
Since I've installed 1.3.1 I have never seen 3G. I get the H and E but never any 3G.

Popped my sim back into my tab which is flashed to make phone calls and I got hsdpa on att. Made a google search. Loaded it very quickly then kicked me off the network. Had to reboot to get back back on. So does that possibly mean that its att and not the t mous tabs that's keeping them from getting 3g.
I have data roaming off so no chance of wandering to diff network

Try uninstalling juice defender. Juice defender has a problem where it starts making its own decisions and disabling/enabling mobile data whenever it feels needed. I dont think its an att problem. When you rebooted, did u lose connection to the network again after a while?

Usually flashing to stock fixes all issues. I would suggest doing that and recustomizing to your needs and seeing if the problem arrives.

Yes by flashing your tab to be able to make phone calls, that means you flash it with a european rom. Your tab turns into a european tab and att use the same band as europe for 3G data. That's why you have 3g and phone capability.
Here's what haopens when I put my sim in.
Keep in mind its a t mobile tab
Tab starts
Tab finds att gets on att network
Tab then picks up hsdpa from att
Tab does google search and then is promptly kicked off the network. Have to restart tab to get back on network.
After restart tab then finds att and edge only. Should I constantly have hsdpa on the flashed. Tmous tab on atts network or is getting it on start up a fluke.

K dialed *#0011# and the tab is definiately getting 3g. Its on wcdma 850 at -105. But the h refuses to appear next to the bars.

It depends on the signal strength. You won't always get H sign, sometimes one meter can make a difference it depends on the place where you are.

T-Mobile TAB hardware supports AWS band (2100 down 1700 Up) for 3G. AT&T 3G is 850/1900.
Here is what is happening in your TAB. You have an AT&T SIM in a TMobile Tab. I find's TMO 3G network but is unable to connect since you have a AT&T SIM.
Obviously you cannot connect to AT&T 3G network because your TAB cannot connect to AT&T 3G bands.
no doubt, the OP is liar! the picture is actual att tab , not tmo one.
I own both att and tmo tab.
tmo tab has no way to get att 3G with any modem (include att one).

It is a fact that you will not get AT&T 3G on the T-Mobile Tab or vise versa. They use different bands. So the hardware won't allow it, which can't be fixed by flashing a different ROM no matter what.
Or by flashing a different modem either!

Hi I bought my nexus s i9020t from bestbuy 4 months ago. I am ftom india, I am not able to receive 3g signal in india and they say this is because of my mkbile is not compatable. Please help in thus regard, egat shiuld I do to get 3g.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
The basebands for 3g are different in india. The i9020t comes with the 9020 baseband i think if you flash the 9023 baseband with the KD1 radio, Your 3g will work. I got my i9020t nexus from the US and am using it in india. I had a motherboard problem and got my motherboard replaced from samsung here. So they changed my baseband , Hence my 3g is working now.
I used my 9020 with vodaphone and got 3g in new Delhi. I was on vacation

I use the i9020T and I have no problems whatsoever with my 3G signal. Get speeds close to 4Mbps. I´m on BSNL Andhra Pradesh.
Which service provider? Maybe your service provider does not provide 3G in your area?
Or try this -- Go to Dialer and type *#*#4636#*#*
After that tap on Phone Information. In Set Preferred Network select WCDMA only. That´ll give you only 3G signal if available. If you want to go back to 2G select GSM only. If you want both select WCDMA Preferred but this is a huge battery drain.
Hi please give me little more insight to what you have done. Where are you from india. I am in bangalore can you pkease provide me some contact numbers of customer care. Can I directly flash 9023 rom into my mobile? Or will there be any hardware incompatibilities? Please help me I am dying to activate 3g

Do NOT flash the 9023 ROM. That could make many things go wrong. If you're APN settings are configured then do what I said above and you'll have 3G.
Hi anirudh thank you very much for your reply I have already done that but it is of no help. Please educate me littme moe in this regard
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Maybe you send some sort of msg to get 3g activated. For airtel you've to send "activate 3g" to 121. Maybe Vodafone has something of the sort too.
Hi anirudh in my mobile I have already done that so mobile connection is 3g active. Can yiu please give me your number

Frequent disconnection on Vodafone
Anyone facing frequent 3G disconnection on Vodafone network? I have 9020T and have KD1, what radio are you using?
That's the T-Mobile version. The Nexus S is not a quintaband phone. Tmobile 's 3G is 1700mhz band. So I do not believe you will be getting 3G with that phone in India.

I was getting 3G connection with Airtel/Tata Docomo all this while. Now i moved to Vodafone and suddenly it stopped. Moreover, i am getting 3G connections and can access data as well, but it automatically disconnects after a while like 20-30 mins.
This is working now after changing the sim from the same operator. In case someone is facing the same problem, talk to ur operator and get ur sim replaced.

Be careful with radio updates, but I would try the latest t-mobile OTA kernel if you haven't already (and assuming you're on t-mobile in the US)

I just downloaded the first zip and also flashed it but idk it hasn't installed properly I c sill the 3g and H changing constantly and not been steady
That's cuz if your in a service area with H coverage the device will switch to H when you need data, it will idle on 3G since H would devour the battery. Its normal what your seeing bro.

Just making a quick thread to let people know regarding radio N.01.100.00R. I flashed it today on a AT&T Motorola Atrix 4G which was previously on N.01.77.36P. I am using the phone on Orange and its actually improved my signal quality and GPRS speed too. I flashed it through CWM recovery.
i'm currently on N_01.95.00R and have not been impressed with signal strength.
wonder if it will make that much difference going to 01.100.00R?

Try the one I am using its giving me pretty good signal tbh.. It does not cut-off as often as it used it because Orange is quite rubbish in my area.
That's the same radio I've been using for a while. Also allows you to drop down to 2G (EDGE) which improves battery life.
