UK Nexus One - No 3G?

Hi all,
I'm working through settnig up my new Nexus One which I purchased directly from Google. I am based in the UK and using the O2 network.
As of yet i've been unable to get a 3G connection. My old phone, HTC Rose, could get 3G (or HSDPA) both at home and in the office. I've yet to see my N1 get any 3G connection at all. It does however connect using GPRS, but this is too slow to be useful and won't sync properly.
I went into the testing menu and changed the band to 'euro' in the hope this would resolve the issue. No change. Should this be set to euro for UK, or just Auto? I don't travel much these days so not worried about roaming issues.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Is it possible you need to manually input the APN settings (Settings->Wireless & Networks->Mobile Networks->Access Point Names)?
I had to do this to get data working with my 3 SIM.

Interesting. I had no idea there were such things for 3G and as such have no idea what i'd need to enter for O2! I'll have a quick google.

Okay, I created an APN called 'o2', told it the APN was 'mobile.o2.co.uk' and left the other details as default. I enabled the APN (I believe) and now have a G icon on the task bar with up/down arrors that appear to be doing something. I assume this is the sync stuff rather than an indication of 3G connection.
In the phone details/network section, it still states GPRS.

correct, G is not 3G, so you are on GPRS connected at the moment.
I live in Switzerland with a US Nexus, no problem at all with 3G/Edge/G.

I haven't tried these as I'm not with o2, but this looks like it might be useful for you:

mine pops up with a 3g icon, it doesn't indicate HSPDA although you can see this by dialling
*#*#4636#*#*
in there you will also see some different network connection options that might help
I think the preferred network type should be set to WCDMA Preferred.
this means it will use 3G whenever its available.
I'm on vodafone but I Assume this is the same for O2

My nexus one qutomatically picked up the settings for my Vodafone SIM - most new phones should do this but it will depend on your tariff.
All though I do not know anything about o2 but For example with vodafone - they have 4 different APN settings depending on whether you're contract or PAYG plus Web or voda live access ... crazy!
So I assume o2 have the same so you are best suited to try all of them - one will definitely work.
I have no idea if these access points make any difference - all I know is I'm online getting 3G and my bill is unaffected
a quick googling:
O2 WAP settings (GPRS):
Note: Different settings for contract and PAYG (Pay as you go)
Homepage: http://wap.o2.co.uk/
APN address (contract): wap.o2.co.uk
APN address (PAYG): payandgo.o2.co.uk

I use my Nexus One in London with O2 ,and the 3 APN appears automaticly when i enter my SIM.

Hi,
I've gone through this and added the two APN's and rebooted the phone. Unfortunately i'm still not getting a 3G connection but can't confirm if this is simply down to poor reception where I am or another/remaining issue.
I'll have to wait until this evening to see once I leave the office!
Thanks

This is interesting. I'm wondering if the difference is that i'm an O2 Business customer, not residential. I definitely didn't get any automatic APN's!
If you get time, would you mind sharing the info of the APN's you've got that work? and/or confirm they're the same as on the forum link guide above
Thanks

I'm on O2 too and I'm definitely getting the 3G icon with those details:
APN mobile.02.co.uk
Username vertigo
Password password
I haven't done any speed tests though.

you could be experiencing the spotty 3G connection issues. I'm using a Business O2 Simcard on a Nexus One, if you're getting a G signal I think that means your APN settings are correct.
I solved my issues by:
Doing the *#*#4636#*#* command from the phones dialer
Clicking "Phone Information"
Scrolling down to the pull down menu which will probably be set to "WCDMA preferred"
Changing this to "WCDMA only"
Waiting for this to register and for me it then shows a 3G signal.
Then I turned this back to "WCDMA preffered" and it seemed to 'remember' it was in a 3G area.
I think I had to do it once more in an area where I should have been getting 3G but apart from that it's been fine.

The APN settings wont make any difference (other than not connecting to either G or 3G at all).
It's going to be down to lack of 3G coverage in the area, either through a 3G cell fault, or no nearby cells.
If the phone fails to find 3G in areas which other phones get full signal, check *#*#4636#*#* with WCDMA only, if it continues to fail your phone is faulty.

Unfortunately, o2's Network sucks.
They said they had the largest EDGE network to get the iPhone... They Don't, Orange do.
My brother found this out the hard way, NEVER getting EDGE and barely ever getting 3G.
The problem lies in their laziness. Unfortunately they own very low frequency bands (950mhz I think) so their basestations are very sparsely populated. Great if you live in a rural area, or in a mine, but terrible if you live in a town (or just outside of the town centre as my case was), especially when the cell shrinks due to the amount of people connecting to the single base station.
On the ofcom website it shows the basestations on a map for UK users; in my area There are 4 3/T-mo basestations, 3 Orange basestations, 2 Vodafone (one 2G only), and 1 o2 Basestation.
Don't think i'm biased because this comes from a person who has a family connected to every network; sister and brother-in-law on Orange with a G1 and N95 8gig, Brother with iPhone on o2, brother with iPhone on o2 and Nexus One on 3, Mother with vodafone getting a new phone soon, and myself, stuck with T-mobile UK, the bane of UK networks.
3 get's 3G EVERYWHERE (and uses Oranges EDGE), and although T-mo share the basestations, they get NO coverage, except in town centres with massive blackspots and shocking bandwidth. With the nexus however, T-mo gets even worse coverage, while even 3 gets worse coverage.
Vodafone have excellent coverage but I couldn't comment on 3G coverage so i'll leave that to someone else. Orange seem to have little minions following their users around with mobile basestations because there isn't a single place my sister doesn't get signal (3G) and also EDGE everywhere. Finally, o2. umm, no EDGE where there should be, even in town, 3G speeds are faster than T-mobile's when you get them.
Actually I suppose I am being a little biased. O2 does get excellent coverage, just nothing usable for internet/browsing usage.
And for those in America; those are the available networks in the UK, all of which are WCDMA.

Yeah, I think if you are getting GPRS (G symbol) they your APN is probably correct.
I certainly only have one APN for Orange, and that works for both GPRS and 3G.
You probably just don't have good 3G signal where you are.
p.s. I haven't encountered any of the alleged problems with 3G / GPRS switching on my Nexus one, it gets 3G in all of the same places my iphone did and happily switches down to GPRS when needed.

Hey,
Im also running nexus one on o2, up here in Manchester, I had to manually add the APN, these are the only settings I added(im on pay monthly):
Name: o2 web
APN: mobile.o2.co.uk
username: mobileweb
password: password
works 100% for me, across all speeds.

I tried my Nexus with 3 - and it refused to get a 3G connection - it also indicated it was in "roaming" mode and refused to change despite waiting 24 hours. I got a refund/cancelled my monthly payment. I moved over to Vodaphone and it took the phone 2 days to finally have the new sim authorised for 3G. I'd guess you might just need to be patient (although I guess its more than 2 days since you started this now)
Goodluck in your 3G search.

Not sure why you needed to wait 2 days for 3G to be authorised? All Vodafone SIMs work on 3G (although it's worth getting a newer one anyway), and nothing
needs to be done at account level to grant access. You just need a 3G phone and a cell which provides 3G.

[Q] Help! Rooted Virgin Mobile Legend can't use data

So I just rooted my HTC Legend using the goldcard method and installed a 2.2 rom, since Virgin is refusing to update the phone themselves. Unfortunatly, I now have NO Data connection. Voice and Text work, but no 3G. After calling a rep, they gave me the APN info, but it still didn't help. They finally said they don't allow "unlocked" phones to use data on the network -- meaning after all the trouble of rooting the phone and upgrading to 2.2 because they WOULDN'T, my phone can't use data! Is there any way around this or any way to return to Virgin's stock rom?
Help!!

Which APN are you using?

i have done exactley the same thing with the gold card method and now i can't get a single bit of data but i haven't gotten as far as calling virgin mobile to ask them about it ..... and i have a friend who has the same phone on the same network not rooted if that helps any but i'm still new to the whole linux i've gone from 6.5 to this ^.^

I had the same problem recently. I am with Bell, but apparently virgin uses the same settings so try going
Menu>Settings>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names
then hit Menu and choose New APN. In here enter the settings:
APN: inet.bell.ca
Proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca
Port: 80
Username:
Password:
Server:
MMSC: h t t p:// mms. bell. ca/ mms/ wapenc (without the spaces)
MMS proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca
MMS port: 80
MMS protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC : 302
MNC : 610
APN type :
then hit menu again and save. When you back out, there should be a radio button beside your new apn to select, so do that. That should give you internet access, or if not try rebooting.
As for wifi, my problem was fixed by reinstalling my router. You can either do this, or go somewhere else and try wifi to see if it works.
Make sure all of your check marks are where they are supposed to be, too

You could also use the pda.bell.ca APN with the same settings as mentioned above. The inet apn is officially used for tethering whereas pda is for mobile browsing (this according to bell). Doesn't really make a difference which one you pick, but I found pda to be slightly faster.

Well, I was trying to fix my apn settings on my sgs2 import because I was not getting mms messages and I used the "Reset to default" feature in the apn menu. I got three new apn settings that replaced the ones I had put in manually. The new ones are: ATT PHONE, ATT WAP, and BROADBAND. The settings seem to match the ones that are commonly sited for AT&T "4g" phones. So my guess is that AT&T recognized something new about my phone and gave me the "new" sgs2 settings. I used to get the Cingular 410 settings. Everything is working fine now.
You may want to just try Reset to default. I have the new AT&T "4g" sim and I am in the DC area just for reference.

Is this something that would make a difference in speed or anything

To anybody on a grandfathered unlimited plan or the data for non-Smart Phones plan don't do this. I did, and like the OP said, it overlayed new default settings. These setting don't work unless you're on a 4G data plan. I lost all data connectivity afterward. I deleted the new (now the default) APN settings and replaced them with a new APN I had to create with the orignal settings. I'm also guessing for this to have happened that AT&T now recognizes the international SGS2 as a 4G phone running on their network. Otherwise, why would the default APN settings suddenly change? I hope this doesn't mean the end of the (almost) free ride we've been getting. So any APN settings posted from the AT&T version of the phone will be useless unless you're being billed for an official 4G plan.
In case anyone needs them, below are the standard settings:

Just to clarify, I have the grandfathered unlimited data plan, have a 4g sim and had my account changed to the use the 4G SOC code : HSDPPB. So in my case unlimited data and 4g are not mutually exclusive. I am getting the same speeds (6mbs - 8mbs) as I was when I manually entered the recommended setting from the "fix your apn" thread but now my mms is working.
I am not recommending anyone do it or not do it, just sharing my experience.

Anyone on a 4G plan, no matter how they got there, would benefit from the new APN. Anyone on a 3G plan will lose data connectivity. I get up to 8MB down in a fake-4G area using the Cingular 410 APN on a 3G plan. I get 3MB down at home in an area that's not been upgraded.

APN Settings for 3g on AT&T
Hi everyone. I added a new APN using the settings that BarryH_GEG posted. I had just bought the SGS2 I9100 off eBay. It was bought at a great price. Now, when I had put in my Sim card, it was not recognizing the data network. Weird because it showed my Sim contacts and my Sim and Network info in the About the Phone section in Settings. Because of this forum, it now reads my Sim along with the 3G ATT network. I was starting to get pissed, then realized it was just the APN settings. Now everything works great. Best phone I have ever owned. Thanks again BarryH_GEG for the settings info..

After reading many threads, stretching my Google-fu to the limit, flashing many modems, and spending an hour on the phone with AT$T Tech support, I found a solution and will try to pay it forward.
First roll back to XXKPA modem.
Then create two APNs.
The first:

The APN depends on the type of DATA (3G/4G) that is provisioned (SOC) on each individual's account.
1) wap.cingular is the correct APN if your account is provisioned for 3G DATA
2) phone is the correct APN if your account is provisioned for 4G DATA
With regards to the 3G/H/H+ icon that depends on the cell site and not the APN configured on the phone. With GSM technology, the phone tells the cell site this is what I am capable of and the cell site tells the phone what it is capable of and then the phone utilizes the best possible option.
As an example, if the cell site is upgraded to HSPA+ the phone will display H+, if the cell site is only capable of UMTS it would display 3G.

Here is a thread I started a while back that discusses my findings with APNs on AT&T...

Basically, the pta apn worked best and you have to be on the LTE data plan and have an LTE sim to use it. More information is in the thread I posted.

Net10 Sim Issues.....Anybody Else?

I have had my Nexus 4 about a week and a half now. I am trying to decide what service to go with, and I have tired a T-Mobile prepaid sim and am currently attempting to use Net10 Sim with an ATT micro-sim purchased from Best Buy.
I have been having so many data issues with Net10, I would say it is not even usable. My APN settings are below, but doing some internet searches, it seems like there are Data connectivity issues with Net10? I was just going to see if anybody else has experienced this and if they found a way to tweek the APN settings to make this work. Net10 support reps have yet to offer any solution. I go for periods without any data at all while my signal is blue with an H (I am typically on HSPA+ 15 or 10). I cannot use many of my apps that require data and I have to refresh websites multiple times to get it to load.
Do the same issues exist on Straight Talk with the ATT Micro-Sim? I did not have any issues like this with the T-Mobile prepaid sim so I do not believe it is a radio issue. I am trying to find out about ATT through either straight-talk or Net10 since T-Mobile does not have a signal in my wife's school. Thanks!

I've updated this setting. Data is very slow and I am still unable to use some apps that work fine on WiFi such as SatelliteGuys (works after I try several times), XDA (haven't used successfully) & SpeedTest (doesn't work says network communication issues) & DishRemote App (can't login even). Google music seems to work and I can send texts, will try an mms soon. I'm really thinking this is an issue with Net10. I've barely used any data so I don't think I am throttled. Really bad service thus far.
Assuming Straight Talk has the same issues with the ATT service? BTW, I am in the Kansas City metro area, full strength.

i used to have net10 and on some days the internet wouldn't work

Any data interruption, I would say it's AT&T service in your area. NET10 is the same as Straight Talk, once you set your APN and data works, it just works. You may want to check by borrowing a friend's SIM Tmo, AT&T or any compatible network, set the right APN, test, troubleshoot and compare. Another issue could be your radio.
If you input the first proxy, some apps/things won't work and may be blocked from access i.e. speedtest

Verizon branded LGV20 On tmobile, no 4G and no LTE

So, I got my LGv20 through work as I do all my phones and usually just pop in my tmobile sim, mess with the APN and bam, 4GLTE and all is good. But, for the life of me I cannot get 4g or LTE on this damn phone. I know my APN settings are good as I have been using them on my note 7 and s7 edge and a slew of others but the lgv20, like the lgv10 before it, will NOT do lte let alone 4G. I know it can do it as occasionally i will se 4Glte in the display but it goes right back to "H" in a few seconds. Any help to maintain 4glte on this would be greatly appreciated.:angel:

What are your APN settings you are using?

I'm using this:
APN: fast.t-mobile.com
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MCC:310
MNC:260
APN TYPE: default,supl,admin,dun.mms
APN Protocol:ipv4/ipv6
APN roaming protocol: ipv4/ipv6
All others at default or none

Ok this is what my V20 says - try matching it and see what happens
APN: same as yours
MMSC: same as yours
MCC: Same
MNC: Same
APN Type: default,supl,mms
APN Protocol: IPv6
APN roaming : IPv4
I also have another APN listed (don't think it's active)

Thanks, same results. I get LTE lit up for a minute then its back to H.

Under mobile networks you have mobile data on, data roaming on, network mode set to GSM/WCDMNA/LTE auto right?
Looking at the Verizon model, it does not support band 12 which could be why you see it for a second (if you have weak band 4 coverage).
Try this if you're willing to mess around with the modem/radio settings
Dial
*#546368#*995#
Go to field test option
Modem settings
LTE Band selection
Choose band 4
Then hit the home soft key and see if that fixes it. You can revert back to auto scanning by going back into that Modem settings menu and choosing Network Mode and setting it to AUTO.
IF you see a band 12, you can try that and see if you can force the phone onto it as well. Keep in mind, until you choose the AUTO network mode, the modem is locked to that LTE band I believe
Do this at your own risk - I use it to turn on/off lte bands personally and don't have issues but each person/phone is different

I tried this a while ago on both a VZW sim and a Tmo sim and it never works. With a tmo sim I get connection problem with MMI code and with a VZW sim it just calls VZW with an error.

That is really strange since the bands support is there and from my understanding VZW phones are all ulocked from the factory.
Have you tried calling Tmobile? Maybe its' the sim itself causing an issue or you're not provisioned properly in their system

Solved!!!!!!!! Use these settings:
Name: T-MOBILE
APN: fast.tmobile.com
Proxy: not required
Port: not required
Username: not required
Password: not required
Server: not required
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS proxy: not required
MMS port: not required
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
Authentication type: not required
APN type: default,supl,mms
however, Under System Select (Change the network mode)
Under the Network mode choose LTE/CDMA and you will permanently have 4glte, I can't believe I discovered this, because I was having the EXACT same problem as you my friend......

Same
Yeah! But you cannot make calls!

I had the same issue when I was using the verizon variation of the V20. I would actually recommend just trying to find the H918 then you can even get the correct the antenna bands for LTE.
Otherwise I just used it with "H+"
