Just went to a US/Mexico border town and my Hermes kept locking on TecTel rather than Cingular/ATT. In network choices it only shows one choice, whether TecTel or Cingular, as I moved away from the border. In other phones I had choices of various services, or at least it showed them. Is there a register change to allow this?
In SETTINGS => PHONE - TAB NETWORK you can set that either your phone will switch between the networks automatically or manually.
Depending on your network provider you are or are not allowed to use networks other than your home network. (International / national roaming). You will have to contact your network provider to see what networks you can use ...
Hi,
I have a problem with choosing a network when abroad on my diamond 2.
I go to Settings and then Network and from the drop-down, I choose manually, which means that I choose network manually when I am abroad but it always chooses for me and never displays choices to choose between as it does in e.g. Nokia.
How do I do that on my Diamond? Is there any chance that I keep my phone connecting to one network and never on any other networks when I am abroad?
The thing is that in Denmark, it is free to use network 3 as well as in Sweden, neighbour country. So It would be nice to have it connecting to network 3 and no others. It drops 3 sometimes when network is low or lost and connects to next network automatically even though I choose manual? Anybody can help with that please?
I have the choice of being on either the Orange network or T-mobile network here in the UK due to their signal sharing deal. My native network is Orange.
On the SGS I was able to set which network I wanted and my phone would stay on it and it would not change. Alternatively I could set it on "select automatically" and it would switch between them when the one it was on drops or it thinks the other signal is stronger.
Now I have a SGS2 and it no longer does this, it automatically switches between the networks even if I have selected the one I want manually. The problem is at my home and where I work the Orange signal is too poor to make calls so I want to keep it on t-mobile. Problem is it keep switching back to Orange and then I go to take a call but the signal is so bad I can't hear the other person!
This issue could potentially be a huge problem for me. Is there anyway round this?
Hii,
I looked around and couldn't find any similar thread.
My network provider is Aircel in Chennai, India. MotoG4 Plus. Android 6.0.1
Most of the time my phone displays 'H' next to the network signal bar. Mobile internet works perfectly fine. As soon I make a call, the 'H' changes to 'G' and voice quality is pretty bad. Isn't it suppose to be 3G (H) for the calls too? Sometimes an '!' mark also appears at the end of the mobile signal. Not sure how to fix this. Voice quality is bad.
Any help?
Networks in India, aside from the major ones (Airtel, BSNL, Vodafone etc), usually have deals with the major ones for the 3g spectrum. Which means, the 3g bandwidth you are using in your telecom circle is of an another network's... However, the 2g spectrum is still your operator's spectrum & not a different one. Therefore, if you call, the operator forcefully switches your network from 3g to 2g. If you want calling in 3g, use a network that has bought the spectrum in your circle (usually Airtel, BSNL & Vodafone).
A similar thing exists with "VoLTE". LTE in India right now (with the exception of Jio) falls back onto 3g/2g for calling, while using 4g fr data. Whereas, VoLTE uses LTE for calling too.
The exclamation mark indicates that the phone can't connect to Google servers to verify whether your Internet is active.

Thanks a lot Aditya for your reply. :good::good::good:
Like the title says, the H910 connects to any network when the selected/preferred network is not available or has low signal. It doesn't matter if you manually select a network, if the signal goes very low it will connect to some other network.
The result is that you see "bars" but is not connected to the intended network and you may not realize that you are out-of-service. With an AT&T simcard you cannot select a network but even when traveling with a foreign sim (where the network selection is available) is still doing that.
Also, when is connected to the other network, you don't see the network name and if you try to make a call you get the "emergency calls only" message.
Probably this is considered a safety feature. Is there a way to turn this behavior off? I want my phone to be out-of-service if there is no signal. Especially since the signal at my home is very marginal lately and I would like to know whether I have service or not (at the moment I assume that if I see more than 2 bars that I don't have service).
