Hi,
I just got myself a Omnia 7 and since I live in area where 3G signal is very low, phone constantly searching for 3G and also keep switching from 3G to 2G.
Needless to say that kills battery life and also have influence on drop calls and call quality.
Anyway, I don't need 3G when I'm at home. I use wireless for internet and mail.
Funny thing, Omnia 7 doesn't have 3G switch like some other WP7 phones.
Is there any other solution to switch off 3G??
I tried MarketPlace and didn't found nothing!
Any registry tweak or something??
Maybe firmware with that option.
Hey,
If you go into settings->mobile network and scroll down you can turn off 3g with the slider
Geee... If only that exist on Omnia 7.
There is no such switch.
I tried Samsung tools

That does show switch for 3G, but still does nothing.... 3G is still on.

Yes, there is. I own an Omnia 7 myself & the switch is there as I said!

Some ROMs have the switch enabled by default (i.e. the t-mobile ones) some others do not.
What you have mentioned is interesting. If the switch is not working for you then please mention your concerns in the "Samsungs Tools" post and the creator might be able to fix the issue.
This would also help other people in the future!
An alternative way to switch on 2g is to follow the method Niiceg suggested.

Can someone tell me how to get the Wi fi working in windows 7 on hd2 ??
assuming you have actually tried turning it on there couple of a couple of possible reasons its not working.
firstly WP7 wont connect to hidden networks
secondly, wifi not working is a very common sign of a incompatible SD card,
Thanks for the reply
a "compatible SD card" well what are most people using?
I am using a SanDisk 4G is that good or bad?
I also have a 16G but that’s for android
I'm using my stock tmous 16gb sandisk. From what I've read, & including the three HD2's I've installed WP7 on, it's very compatible.
yes i have the same problem, i know my sd card works with it because, i went through like 4 roms, and it worked perfect. I have installed HD2O_1.04_DFT_LEO70_RELEASE, and everything is perfect BUT wifi
ok let me be clear on this one, dispite what some folk on here believe there is no compatible list, any thread suggesting otherwise is just a waste of bytes.
however, in saying that, statistically, you have a better chance with a class 2 or 4 8gb or 16gb, thats not to say others wont work because they might, in short its luck!
sandisk, an all the other brands all suffer the same issue, im not going in to details on that issue but bassically even the same make and model of a card may or may not work, this is down to the manufacturing process and what components are used.
The only way you can take anyones "advice" on a specific card working is if they have tried it and physically gave it to you.
yes its a common error, you SD card might work but if its not completely compatible it may have issues, wifi, lagging, random reboots etc.

then, it's not your sd card that is the problem! simple logic here mynamemonte.
can you new folks please be more specific when asking questions? a generic question like "how do i get wi-fi to work in wp7 on a hd2" leaves open all sorts of interpretations.
a better question would have been..."i've tried such and such to get wi-fi working and not having any luck". also, if you include the rom and specific technical information about your set up increases the likelihood of a direct answer.

Yes i was going to put more effete into it but I assumed that know one would replay and it was late at night
So for the SD it's trial and error then ??

That is what I've gathered from all the readings on the SD card issue in the various forums. I'm using Kingston 16GB SD, class 6 that I bought to speed things up a bit when I was still using WM6.5. Works fine for me, but I'm on Frantic's 7008 ROM.
I think SD issues are a combination of both the card itself and the tweaks of the various ROM cooks put into their individual versions other than the basic DFT port.

Thanks for the info. I was getting tired of having to switch my broadcast option at home to use wi-fi. I've installed it and we'll see if it works at home tonight considering I may need the NoDo update which isn't out for the HD2 yet.
Will report later.
Btw...HTC sent out an update for the Connection Setup tool on Marketplace this morning. Just in case this update fixes any issues I may run into with HTC Wi-Fi I would recommend people install the update.

Well spoke too soon! Ran the new Wi-Fi app and says it requires the March 2011 NoDo. @#@!#!!!!
I hope the cooks get the NoDo update for the HD2 ready soon!

you are a star my friend! never liked broadcasting my SSID around for all to see, shall be fixing that in a sec, many thanks!
Dear all,
I and my friend bought Samsung A8 a couple of days ago. We both are facing same call-drop issue.
We use BSNL prepaid SIMs and with default setting, whenever we change the mobile tower while talking, there is a squeaking digital noise and then the call drops. What I mean by default setting is, if you go Settings > Mobile Networks > Network Mode (BSNL in my case) > LTE/WCDMA/GSM (auto connecct).
I have tried many sorts of tweaks over this. First, I replaced my SIM card with a new one for no result.
Then, I found one curious behaviour. That is, if you put Mobile Networks to anything that has auto connect, you get this squeaking sound and call-drop. If you put the mode to *-only mode, the problem is no more! as far as I think this whole issue started after I have applied some update (don't know which, but now it is running the latest update and problem persists). Also, I have also tried complete reset to no avail. My phone has no apps other than the default ones.
I have been fed up with this issue to the core and thinking of changing the phone. Will you help me solve this issue?
Thanks,
Vivek
Call drop on Samsung Galaxy A8
Hi Vivek,
I have a exactly similar experience with A8. In the auto mode there can be 3G to 2g Ho and calls drop. But in locked mode of any of 2g or 3G , no problem.
Btw, which android version you are running?
Did it start after you installed any app?
Did you try to downgrade the firmware if you have the latest one?
Rgds, Hasnat

Hi,
This is a problem in my friends device and he is out of town now. so I couldn't share.
Just to further confirm, you haven't faced this problem even when you are in auto connect mode, right? This is bit of strange.

Hi Vivek,
Can you please share your device android version and firmware version?
I've posted a few times about the poor connectivity on my EU model Axon 7. I've given up expecting it to connect to a 4G signal, it just refuses.
However, when I'm on WiFi, the 3G symbol keeps flicking on and off. I thought this was a bug fixed by the B03 update.
If someone who understands these things cares to watch, I've done a screen grab of this thing as it switches signal. Is this normal? It looks very busy...https://youtu.be/jDuioJX2uoI
Does if effect anything? Can or cannot you browse for instance?

Mine is working fine but it connects to LTE most of the time. I haven't experience such issue. Model number is P996A04. What is yours? Otherwise I have heard that not quite ok SIM card can cause such problem. Do you have original nano card from provider or did you cut it?

Same model number and the Sim is not cut down, no.
I'm going to send it back now and try a Nexus 6p for a while. Might buy it again if I read there's been improvements.
The data connection on my phone goes away after every few mins. It's very unstable. Also all of a sudden there's no VOLTE. I've tried all APN methods. I was previously on Mokee, and the problem started. I went back to miui, the problem was solved for the evening. But it started again.
If anyone has any solution. Please help. I cant even call using 4gVoice app. I want a permanent solution .
All help is appreciated. Thanks in Advance!
It's jio's problem
Hopefully will get resolved till march

The sim worked fine on k6 power.
I solved it by going back to miui and then flashing mokee.
Yet, it's surprising that it happens so randomly.
Probably something to do with default APN.

Even I'm facing the same problem with my Redmi 3s prime. It happened with resurrection remix rom and I flashed miui again. But didn't work. I tried different methods, but none worked. One of my friend said that jio by default takes band 5 for better coverage which trades-off with connection speed(low internet speed). One way is, to switch the band from 5 to 3 or 40, which might improve speed. This can be done in something called "service mode" in the phone. He had LG G3 and used some secret key in phone dialler to access service mode. That key however didn't work with Redmi 3s prime. I'm still searching for one.

Though it's more about VOLTE, it's not working. Even if it does work with a certain rom, it goes away after a few reboots.
FYI: I don't have fluctuating connection anymore.
Though I really wish that there was a proper solution for VOLTE

For now I'm on the latest LOS, and everything is working fine for now.
A small tip to anyone reading this, never greenify any Qualcomm, and codeaurora service.

Thanks for the reply.
Though, for now, the problem is solved.
I'm on the latest lineage OS, and have hardly faced signal drops. Volte too seems to be working fine now.
Miui seems to lock our bands at 800mhz which hinders the net speed, switching to 3g/2g in low network areas, to maximize network coverage.
That can be tackled, if you use an app called 'network signal guru' , to lock the bands to a higher frequency, for preference to Internet. Requires root though.
Hope that helps you.
