Hey this has been bugging me all day.
My network switches from 3G to H every few seconds almost even if I not moving. Is there a way to just pick it to one?

Don't blame me if you screw something up but goto your phone app and dial *#*#4636#*#* and begin to tinker.

Sounds like Fast Dormancy. It switches back and forth to save battery when there is no data use.
Suggest you do some reading on it!

It will change to H when using data, otherwise it will remain on 3G when idle. Mine also switches between the two regularly. I wouldn't worry about it.

Phone shows 3-4 bars of 3G and I get nothing but errors like , Page unavailable...this app needs data connection....etc. Sometimes if I disable mobile network and re-enable it it will work for a few minutes but then gone. Am I the only one ? I searched briefly . Nothing informative . Help please .
Call att and tell them to connect you to the specialist, i had the same problem and i was literally on the phone with him for 10 seconds and he fixed it

Sometimes it does similar to me. It will sit there and go from 3g to edge to 3g to edge. I've taken to just using 2g when I have wifi, then 3g when I want mobile data. Although now that I had the phone for a while, I kind of know where 3g is strong.

Here's the thing.
My NS4G when it's connected to 4G is great.
However, when it goes idle (which is most of the time if I'm not using it), I'm not connected to the internet at all. No puch notifications. No Gtalk messages. No Facebook updates. Nothing.
And it only wakes up when I wake it up.
this all sorts of defeats the object of having a contantly on connection, and I don't get the benefit of 4G, unless it's literally only to be used when I'm surfing the web ? Is that all it's good for on this phone, and the reaosn I'm paying another 10 bucks ?
Is there any way to increase the tine it takes to go idle ?
Hmmm... it should just be idle when no data is needed. We had another report from another user of the same problem. Can you send email to yourself and wait 10 min to make sure it doesn't work?

That is exactly what I've been doing all day. No emails. Gtalk goes offline. all get delivered when I connect by browsing or opening facebook. anything that required data.
Hmm there was a setting for something like that. I used it on my evo to conserve juice I just had to check my phone if expecting something important

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.

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.

Hady nexus two days. Noticed when I was in the middle of a call I tried using Google maps to locate a place. Maps said I need a data connection. I did also notice next toy signal icon the data sign was gone and a phone icon was next to it. I came from the sgs3 on Tmobile. Is there a setting or an APN that needs to be set? I was in a 3g/hspa+ are. Am on latest 4.2.2 update.

Yep.maybe it was the area. I started the call in a big stretch of the interstate that is only 2g. When I tried using maps. I was in the 4g area but maybe the towers hadn't switched over?

yeah, only happens when you are on 2G... can't have phone and data simultaneously

Correct, data disconnects as soon as you use voice on 2g. :thumbup:
That's what I was thinking but was going to be dissapointed if this phone didn't actually have that basic functionality of a smart phone. Lol.

Im running cm 10.1.2 it works great I live were tmobile has lte. so I flash LTE radio and that works great. my apn is tmobel us LTE and my preferred network mode is lte/gsm/wcdma. Sometimes when I drive outside lte coverage zone or in on a weak spot my preferred network mode will change to csm/wcdma. Is this normal? I was driving and I just lost signal the other day Im guessing this is why. I got a screen shot of a app that shows I get lte or hspap with lte/gsm/wcdma. Should I not get both hspap and lte with this setting. Im guessing the phone could not get lte so it changed the profile? Can it do that?. When I was out of the coverage area tried to change it back to let/gsm/wcdma but it defaulted to csm/wcdma.. On reboot it defaults to lte/gsm/wcdma. so i know its working thanks for reading my thread.
I'm pretty sure that is normal. My phone does the same.

So when your phone changes profile when it gose into a lte zone dose it drops signal or any thing?
I want to say mind dose for a second as the profile changes then if I go back into a LTE zone it will change back. But im not sure as I have only been running this build for a few days and I mostly stay in a LTE zone.
Yes basically disconnects for a sec then changes.

Just wondering why that is? does lte/gsm/wcdma not support hspap? Because my app screen shot told me on that profile i get hspap and lte .
I'm not really sure. But I do not understand why the nexus 4 handles this Network change so slowly. It's annoying at times.
