hello,
I have searched for it in different website but i couldn't find it. I want to know if it is possible to lock my data connection to only 3g and 4g and i don't want it to go to edge connection and the way to do it.

hello,
after searching on "3G" in the forum, i seems that the problems are just the opposite to my question, they all want 3G to be turned off.
Now I want to connect to 3G (with the "G" icon on the staus bar).
My problem is that it always connect on "edge", with the "E" icon in status bar and when I want to make a video call, it always says that there is no connection to 3G so I can't make videocall.
Anyone knwos how to activate 3G?
I looked into the connections, but I don't want to mess in it without knowing what I do.
BTW I'm in Europe (Belgium).
Thanks
You fell into the same trap I did when I first got a Windows Mobile phone.
G means GPRS and is the lowest, simplest connection speed.
G = GPRS. "Normal" internet speed (9.6-14.4kbps)
E - Edge. "Enhanced" internet speed (normally 48kbps, but can be higher)
3G = 3G internet speed (128-384kbps). Also allows video calls.
H = HSDPA. "Mobile broadband" speed. (1.8Mbps, 3.6Mbps or 7.2Mbps depending on operator).
You'll want to go to:
Start > Settings > Connections > Advanced Network
Make sure that HSDPA/HSUPA is enabled
From then on, it depends on the signal in your area. If you find that you're having a problem getting and maintaining a 3G or H signal, you might need to get an updated SIM from your operator. I got a new SIM from O2-UK and it solved my connection problems immediately.
I see that HSDPA/HSUPA is enabled.
Could it have something to do with the settings in connections (instead of advanced network settings)?
I will also check with my provider (sim card)
Thanks for the reply
i cannot connect to the internet not using wifi. i do however h an H symbol next to my signal. i dont get why i have the hsdpa but cannot connect. i've tried anything i can think of.
*i can't turn data connection on in my comm manager, it automatically disconnects and says wap.cingular not working or gprs not working somthing like that.
*in the connection settings i pick media net wich is automatically picks att but still won't
*in settings/personal/phone i left if auto defualts for bands
*settings/connections/advance network i even tried to put it to hsda ONLY won't work
the only new lead im getting is this Zenith post saying he got new sim card so now it's working. that's all im getting at now. but im even skeptical about that
If you are not getting the 3G or H icon then you either have no coverage or an incompatible SIM.
If you can't connect to the internet you either have incorrect settings on your phone, or your network aren't allowing you on their APN.
Suggest in all cases phoning your network to get clarification.

you wouldn't believe how i found out i had no internet. they say'd it was in the system but it was disabled in thier system. i put in my brothers sims and his work just fine. so i told them to look at whatever his plan is and they switch to what he had. anyways long story short i found out not my settings bc you just auto configure it connectin wizards, and wasn't sims card, it was stupid att. i was getting the H icon but not an H on my signal. anyways its all done now. thanks again guys
So, i have bugged folks on this forum about getting 3G to work on other carriers, and it turns out - it does work! At first i found out my settings were set to GSM only, but now i also found this weird inconsistency possibly a bug.
If i have Data Off after using 3G or GPRS for some time, when i turn it back on, phone would not connect to data service. After enabling it will simply time out.
I found that if i switch from GSM to WCDMA, and than back, 3G network would connect and work.
I don't know if it's specifically my phone, or a bug, so i'm just throwing it out there.

What carrier are you getting 3G to work? I doubt its working if its anything that doesn't run on tmobiles bands..the icon will come up and stuff but your either getting edge speeds or not getting any connection. I've had this phone show me 3G with full bars and just time out.. I can eveven put in a sim with a sidekick plan or other data plan and it shows 3G but it does not work
Well, i'm overseas and i have used it on Russian carrier Beeline and carriers in two other countries. Now, i do set my connection to WCDMA only, which gives me 3G icon. When i set it to GSM only, i see GPRS icon show up.
So, it does work, i use fring, online radio, google maps. But as far as speed concerned, i have not tested it.
Just ran a speed test using Speedtest.net tool, I get 3951kbps download, and 655 upload
thats 3G
Where i live there is only edge service, but yet they claim largest 4g and there barley 3g, i have a hd2 with froyo 2.2 is there a way to force it to roam on ATT 3g network, it bounces on and off it on my way to work but it wont stick, when i atempt to set it it tells me the sim card cant register, but i wanna force it roaming not the main registration. Is this possible or does anyone know if there gunna do a update to 3g on there network?

There is NO way to use most hd2's on att's 3g network. The phone is not capable of it. Even if tmobile allowed 3g roaming on att, your phone just can't see it. I have roamed on att's 2g network occasionally though.
I have seen it roam to att 3g while driving and it works! But it dont last long
No, it doesn't. It can SEE ATT 3G, but it cannot connect to it. You where recieving EDGE speeds at best.
Running a N4 in the states on T-Mobile.
For Tasker, I have a few network connection types I can choose:
4G/3G HSPA/3G/2G
I'm trying to figure out what these actually are. From the wiki page it seems 3G and 4G share the same tech.
So, when my phone says H, is that the same as 4G? Or is it 3G HSPA?
Is 3G on the phone real 3G?
E=2G, right?
Hey Guys,
I have just bought a olleh branded S7 edge(SM-G935K/Korean version) from eBay. I'm very happy with it so far, but it seems that 4g is not working, only 3g. I looked trough the internet, but couldn't find anything. What I do found out is that it supports all the correct 4g frequencies. It also looks that some of the settings are blocked or simply not there. For example, when I go into Setting - Mobile networks, I only see a greyed out Data roaming, normal Access Point Names and greyed out Status bar indicator. There is no Network mode and no Network operators. Maybe this is because of the olleh branding?
Thanks!
Hi,
I have got the same issue. but I have 4G working. I would like to know how to get data roaming working too. Any expert can point it out how to fix the data roaming would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. I am on Australia Vodafone network. I do get LTE and LTE+. I can share my setting if you need any info.
