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.

H is the same as 3G.

Just installed cm7 on my phone

Can this be from the gfree hack and how so I fix it

My MyTouch 4G shows that its on HSPA or 4G but the download speeds and everything is extremely low. On speedtest its gets .05Mbps which should not be happening. Any help on why this is happening or How to Fix

Tmobile might be throttling the speed or the towers close to you are being changed, recently tmo announced 48mb 4G and that might cause the lower speeds. And what ROM/Radio are you using?
Well I'm on CM7 and I doubt that It has anything to do With T-Mobile because I have another Phone which works perfectly fine with the speeds. This all happened when I switched Roms, I went from cm7.0.2 to royal Ginger and that's when it got slow. I Finally went to CM7.0.3 which is what I'm currently on and the problem still exists so I have to use my wifi

Try using a new Radio file. See if that helps. It's stickied in the top of the development section.
Hi
I have this problem and i think ive come across a few people with the same frustration.
Which is the constant switching of our galaxy s fone networks frm 3g to H.... Happens so constantly it disrupts and keeps me in limbo so many tyms i cnt even tether properly with this problem!!!!
Please olease is there any fix for this out? Ive looked everywher!!!!! And if not. . . please as a humble request can a dev please create something so that only H frequencies are chosen and are prioritized so that it doesn switch to 3g please?????

Ha.
Yeah mine does too sometimes.
A way I get past it is to tap back button and select again and it quickly loads up in h.

Could be a problem with XXJVS radio? I go back to XXJVR to compare results.
HSDPA is an extension of 3g. It uses the same frequency. The reason it is switching is to save power for better battery life. It switches to H when you are using the connection, but than switches back to plain 3g when it is idle.

Mate. What's with your logs obsession????
Too much hassle to log. Hardly ever happens and when it does its an easy fix.

user experience is well problematic
one will see 3g changing to H and call it a bug or so =)
i belive only on what is there in logs
Yes ofcourse its an extension from 3G to H .... But i am still using the dam network n it still keeps changing to 3g and H is there no way to keep it on one of em?

That's just how dataconnection works. .if you want to keep your connection in H-mode constantly, you need to make your phone to ping something for every 3 seconds...like ping -t 3 8.8.8.8 in windows (if I remembered it correctly).
In short: connection is in H-mode as long there is traffic. .

In my experience (from reading stuff here and observing my phone) it seemed that constant switching between H and 3G drains battery faster than if we could force the phone to use only H. From your post, I understand this is not the case. I never thought that 'switching' was a battery save feature...
I'm using CM7, and although it switches to 3G for a short period of time very infrequently, most of the time I have an 'H' displayed, even when it's idle. I also don't notice any significant battery drain. Maybe my phone is just crazy, though.
I've had this since day 1 with my phone, through many different roms... it's frustrating as all hell and really hurts my battery life and my patience
The switching from 3G to H is not the problem and not the cause of the problem here - it's just the symptom.
It's because data is lagging and stalling further upstream, so the phone is simply returning to idle as it should.
The solution is to change carriers to something that gives more reliable data.
Take a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=837716 for a guide to disable HSDPA for better battery life.

Very useful info .... I asked for a solution to stay on H i get a reply to disable to SAVE battery life which is clearly not most the prioritized issue here... But thank u.... Any one else with a solution to either stay on H or 3G????
i had a sony x10 mini pro and problems were similar... But then from control panel i selected 3G only ( only options were 2G and 3G) and when it was onnit it NEVER gave up H ... Constantly stayed onnit so if its possible on a fne **** that m preetty sure we cn do it on a galaxy s

Wouldn't the most likely cause of your phone switching back and forth be because you're losing connection? My phone stays in H when I need it, and leaves it when it doesn't. So...

Nope i have constant network on full bars... Keeps working only until the H starts swapping is the time my phone enters limbo and i lose connectivity

The problem is that it literally hangs between 3g and H changing constantly without loading anything. If I say for example on xda, touch a thread and it does this, it may stay in a changing to and fro for minutes and not load. But if I select thread again as soon as it starts doing it it opens to thread quickly and normal.

anyone having trouble with 3g reception, my phone seems to turn off the radio entirely every few minutes, it's either full bars and decent 3g or nothing at all, just no network messages

Are you on stock or custom? I usually just flash the most up to date radio when I have problems like that

both stock and custom (namelessrom) i havent been able to leave base much (USAF) so it might be some sort of interference from something here, but my old phone had no problem getting signal here (galaxy s2)
