I've seen quite a few posts with people all over the world having issues with 3G internet issues with the 1.51 radio update? I would like to keep it because it is the fastest radio pertaining to phone response but the internet issue is big. It works fine on edge but when dropping into 3G, no success. I've seen some people have no problems at all and this internet issue seems random (I know its not). Anyone know a solution to this (besides going back to 1.50)?

Well, perhaps this radio versión is originaly intended for some carriers only.
For me, Orange Spain, works great with 3G and HSDPA. As great as 1.50 one.
1.51 issues
I've heard some have success on the same carrier (I'm in the US) and most are having the issue. I thought that originally too but I've seen people have it work on ATT and mine does not. 1.50 may become the solution after all.

i hear too that ATT is migrating his 3G network in some cityes. This can be the cause that works for someone and don't work for all ppl with ATT.
I only can say works great in Orange Spain.

works great in Orange Israel
Working fine on the 3G Cingular network here in New Haven, CT also working fine on both ROGERS and FIDO neworks in Canada
... and it´s working great with Movistar here in Spain. As with other Radios you have to go with what suits your network best. I had loads of problems with 1.46, 1.47 and 1.48 but this (1.51) and 1.50 are fine here on my home network.

works great in germany-tmobile
I'm reading a lot of "1.51 works great" posts. It "works great" for me too unless I turn on 3G in a 3G coverage area. Then the internet access stops working. Since that is the problem specifically, please indicate whether you tested 3G internet. As of now I can only assume that everyone has.
3G working great for me in Los Angeles, CA. I'm actually in 3G area in San Fernando Valley for those in LA, but I haven't had a single problem.
Issues in UK?
Any one running this on T-Mobile UK?
Cheers
Not Working
In Kansas City area, with 3G connects but just shows "locating...." until finally says site not available. note: get 3G icon, switches to H icon and back but would not locate site)

I am in Michigan on AT&T and I am having the smae problems as you, No UMTS at all If I turn off 3g I can get internet, but once i turn it on "can't load page error's" pop up. I noticed that in network setup that with 1.51 it defults to CDMA instead of GSM but even if I try to change it reverts back to Wcdma so I thought by reading these post of people that have a working ver that maybe thiar carrier is Cdma but I see AT&T post from Georgia and Texas that are having no problems and Cingular/AT&T are GSM only. So I am baffieled. I saw right off the bat a strong improvement in my bars after I flashed it. I normally see 2 to 3 and it jumped to 5 a strong 5 that is why I am hoping one of the super cooks can offer us a soultion. anyway good luck let me know if you find out .
This Radio woks gr8 for nordic Countries. i get it atry today its OK
After about a week plus of having my TP2, i realize that where i normally am surfing the net, i don't have HSDPA anymore. All i get is 3G. It's strange cos when i put the sim card into my TP, it gets HSDPA right away.
I've taken my TP2 out and in town, it gets HSDPA so that pretty much confirms that there is no setting problem. I've flashed with all the available Radio from the radio thread and none seem to help. I still can't get HSDPA where i'm sitting now while my TP would have full strength.
Anybody else has this problem? Is there a way to force HSDPA connection?
Anybody?
I just hard reset my TP2 and still no "H". Took the TP2 out for a drive closer to tonw and i get "H" which again means nothing is wrong with the settings portion.
Take the sim card out and put it into my TP, i get a strong full strength "H" from where my TP2 could not get
Weird & sad cos i use my data plan a lot.
Try downloading something and see if actively using the data connection switches it over from 3g to H
Let me preface by saying I don't have TP2 yet, still waiting on AT&T
I think without using something like Advanced Config (assuming there is a rhodium version), it will only show 3G even if it is in fact an HSDPA signal. You can adjust the setting with advanced config to enable the H display. But it is just enabling the icon I believe.
With the stock rom on my worldwide version it comes up with H when i use the data connection, otherwise it sits on 3g even in full reception ;- ) why i suggested it
worldwide edition is; world 3G on GSM right? where can you get that one!

I want to upgrade to this **** from my TyTN that is falling apart but no Canada 3G until 2010 quarter 2. thats when rogers upgrades to 2100
HSDPA is 3G. Some taskbars on the Touch Pro 2 label a 3G connection as "H" or HSDPA.
You are getting the same data speeds regardless of whether the "H" or the "3G" symbol can be seen on your phone.
However if you get an "E" or a "G" that means you will get EDGE speeds and GSM speeds respectively.
The fastest is as follows from left to right: 3G > EDGE > GSM
Thanx for the reply guys.
HSDPA is faster then 3G right? Or did i get that information wrong
Anyway HSDPA is already enable in my TP2 as when i move to other locations...say closer to town, i do get "H". I just feel that the reception is not as strong as that of the TP cos at home where my TP has HSDPA connection, my TP2 does not
Got a Japan version note 2 SC-02e, after flashing MIUI rom, everything works fine except the phone function. There is no data, no signal, no reception whatsoever. I tried to manually search the service operator, but it turns out nothing. I suspect it may be a problem caused by its unique band. I appreciated any fix suggestion.:laugh:
you might have accidentally unknowingly regretfully ****ed up your imei i.e. ****ed phone features.
before regretting try restoring nand/stock firmware etc.
if you made a backup of your efs then there shouldn't be much to worry.
if not and restoring stock doesn't work, then go to a service center and convince them that you are a innocent cute little guy whose phone was ****ed up in the morning.
Good Luck
Most common mistake for most people or noobs is that they did not know what they are
doing with their devices. Most probably you have screwed your EFS folder.

I hope this isn't too late to help you but are you running the SC-02E in Japan, and if so are you using Docomo or are you trying to use it on a different network?
I've experienced similar problems in the past and in my case the cause there were two separate causes. First of all Docomo Xi phones sometimes have issues when trying to connect to a non-LTE network (such as with B-mobile or softbank) yet often have had the menu options for turning off LTE removed. I had a similar issue when I used my SC-06D with a 3G B-mobile sim (which uses the same 3G network as Docomo) and at first I had the issue of not getting any connection. However after I used a 3rd party app to disable LTE (LTEOnOff) I was able to connect without any issues.
The other cause may be as you said from the unique bandwidths. Japan's LTE network is different from other countries, and traditionally the only common 3G bandwidth used in Japan that is used in other countries often is the 2100mhz one (although Softbank did recently implement 900). Therefore if you managed to flash a ROM for one of the overseas N7105's then it's quite possible your phone is having trouble due to the LTE bandwidths. You could try disabling LTE (as above) and then seeing if your phone connects via the 2100 bandwidth. If that works then then you will probably need to try flashing a Japanese radio (from the SC-02E) to get it to work. This is something that I am trying to get working myself.
For the record Docomo's network runs on 2100/1700/800 for 3G (although 1700 seems to be rarely used) and 2100/1500 and possibly 850 for LTE. Softbank has 2100/900 for 3G and 2100 for LTE. AU runs on CDMA and CDMA2000 technology and thus their network isn't compatible with Docomo's phones.
I bought an unlocked Sony Ericsson Xperia Play R800i from Amazon to use with a Straight Talk sims card; however, I'm unable to connect to 3G. The phone only shows an Edge connection. Straight Talk specifies that the phone must operate in 850 and 1900 MHz bands. Here's what the Amazon page says about my phone:
This phone can be paired with 800/850/1800/1900 MHz UMTS/HSPA 3G networks in the United States (as well as 900/2100 MHz 3G networks found around the world, including in Europe and Asia). In areas not served by a 3G network, you'll continue to receive 2G data service via the EDGE network (depending on network compatibility).
I might be wrong, but doesn't that mean it operates under Straight Talks specifications?

i have the same issue but with my carrier offering 3G at 2100 Mhz which is Xperia Play supporting. When searching for carrier it shows me just 2G provider, non 3G. when WCDMA only selected, i lose signal. I am in coverage of 3G and my plan is supporting it.
Could it be hardware issue? i did factory reset but still having this issue. Connections just through EDGE, GPRS or Wifi

I purchased an R800at from Amazon, which, according to that thread, should be able to connect to 3G correctly.
I've unlocked the bootloader, and flashed CM7.2 onto it, and I'm still only getting an EDGE connection. It shows a second connection under the "Network Operators" menu in the mobile settings, which, when I ran the stock ROM, was listed as "3G" but it always defaulted to the "2G" listing.
I live near a large city, and have gotten 3G on other carriers, and even 4G on a friends T-Mobile phone. I think I'm running the T-Mobile based SIM card, because the AT&T APN settings don't work with it, and the SIM came with the T-Mobile settings, it's even labeled in my APN as "Straight Talk T-Mobile" but I still only get EDGE.
I don't know much about straight talk, but is your Sim a 3G one? I had this issue a while back where i could only connect to 2G networks but then went to my carrier's store, told them the problem and they ported my contacts and number to a 3G sim and its worked ever since.
It may also be worth trying to get the APN settings from your service provider to see if this solves the problem.
I have an unlocked R800at (AT&T) that I am using on T-Mobile. Now where I live it shows that people have already reported getting HSPA+ on unlocked AT&T phones.
I have all the correct APN settings, however I always get 2G (Edge). But if i got to:
Wireless Networks
Mobile Network
And select search, for me it will bring up T-Mobile 2G and T-Mobile 3G as options. I select the 3G and it will connet and I will get HSPA+ (download of up to 7mbps, 3-5 up) for anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes, then it reverts back to 2G. Its not a huge deal for me as when I was on VZ I had edge like speeds, but to be honest if I can HSPA+ then i would like to have it but I cannot find a way to get it to stay on 3G. I have used 3G speed tweaks, trying different apn's... nothing. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

I'm not entirely sure. I bought it on ebay, it's listed as a T-Mobile SIM card. It was a standard size, that the seller cut to micro. I have to put it in an adapter to use it with the phone.

hi, i have the same problem. r880i, it works well on gsm, totally unstable under wcdma..the "funny"thing is that i can't make calls nor text when it gets no signal(with the yellow triangle at top left),but i have data connection(i can install apps from store,browser youtube facebook works ecc) and i get mm#6 error sometimes(the phone in not stolen or whatever lock). all working well when set to gsm; if set to wcdma/gsm, or wcdma only it does the above mentioned behavior. i've relocked bootloader and repaired with seus and am currently on stock 2.3.4.. any fix or know issues?
Was briefly excited on the arrival of my US version from oppostyle, but after hours of T-mobile tech support, a factory reset, APN attempts, still no LTE or proper 3g even on my Find 7, even though I live in a strong 3g/4g area...only (HSPA) H and H+. Can anyone help?
Thank you

Hmm, those match my settings and I am getting LTE. Dumb question, but have you restarted? I noticed my phone can get kinda quirky when switching between APN's, or if the data gets turned off by another app for some dumb reason or another.
I have a feeling there is a little more tweaking to do to the modem from Oppo...

Remember that for years, T-Mobile and AT&T called HSPA+ "4G"

I was uunclear about H+, have just been looking up info....Was on Verizon, a GSM newbee here
However, I am seeing very slow speeds on HSPA+ and HSP...not even seeing much of a difference in speeds between the two on my device.
between them. Averaging 0.6 Mbps to 1.3 Mbps down, and 0.8 mbps to 1.3 Mbps up, even though T-mobile tech support claims I have excellent 4g coverage in my area. Is this most likely hardware?
Also, on my roadtrip yesterday to Medford, I was capping off at around 10 Mbps on LTE at the most, which seems a ,ittle slow for LTE.

Sometimes your coverage can be solid but the backhaul (connection between towers and the Internet) can be awful. AT&T's local reps even told me that the local LTE isn't going to be particularly good for a while until they upgrade the backhaul to the towers.
Your HSPA+ speeds seem low, but that's in comparison with my AT&T experiences. I might try doing a speedtest comparison of LTE between my Nexus 5 and my Find 7a if I can.
I was reading the pocketnow review and they had trouble getting the phone to work on AT&T and T-mobile in the US. Does this phone even support T-Mobile LTE bands? In most areas T-Mobile has their LTE on the AWS band.

Mine does get all of these (4G, H, H+, etc.) but the problem is most of the time it can't even get data connection.
GPRS Setting for LTE works for Me
I was having problems connecting to data,calls no problem (OPPO FIND 7 USA).
Anyway,the automatic APN settings weren't right for me,I had to manually set the APN Protocol setting to IPV4 (wasn't set,reading Not Set) & it finally connected to 4G LTE.
Here's the strange part:
The APN Name (On OPPO FIND 7,USA Model) is T-Mobile GPRS NOT T-Mobile LTE.
If I changed the name,it wouldn't connect to data at all.
From best I can tell via web search, GPRS is synonymous with 2G,however,I have 4G LTE when this APN Name is used.
I've seen others having a hard time connecting to the network & seems this bug arose in the latest update.
Anyway,my settings are identical to those in the pics in the OP EXCEPT the very 1st line,the APN Name.
Where I'm at right now is notorious for a weak signal due to building/equipment interference,however,I'm picking up an excellent signal (-90 to -80dBm / 53asu) on LTE:13
Have you tried to turn on LTE 4G by going in the dialer type *#*#4636#*#* phone information and set preferred network as LTE only ?

Yes.
As it is now,w/the APN Name as T-Mobile GPRS & in the hidden menu,changing the preferred network to LTE has no effect,it stays connected to LTE & everything below that which is available in my area.
I just left it as UNKNOWN.
I tried changing the APN Name to T-Mobile LTE & it immediately disconnects,regardless of any other changes in the hidden menus.
As the phone senses/sets-up Auto APN,the only apparent thing that is omitted is the APN Protocol setting,which by default on my phone & SIM Card registered Not Set.
Changing that value to IPV4 (from Not Set) is what made the difference.
Perhaps this quirk has something to do with 2G in my area having been replaced/upgraded to 4G & 4G LTE & the phone doesn't sense the difference/recognize the difference but in name only,but,accepts the 4G/LTE Connection.
Not knowing all things network/etc..,this seems like a possible explanation.
All I know is that I have an excellent connection & fast speeds w/browsing/etc.....
I don't care what the phone calls it,or sees it as,success is success.
I've seen stranger things than this........
I have since replaced my SIM CARD & had no problems connecting to T-MOBILE's 4G LTE,no modification of the APN was needed.
However,this is while flashed to CYANOGENMOD 11 nightlies,have no idea if the previous issues would pop-up if running the stock COLOR 1.2.4i O/S.
I have had issues with T-mobile LTE. Played around with all the settings. Deleted the APN and created a new one, etc. It works now, but I didn't do anything special, it started working randomly a day or 2 later
Strangely enough I'm having the same problem getting 3g with Virgin (EE/TMobile) in the UK
It can take a while for LTE to provision after setting up the APN. Set it and let it try for about an hour.
APN
The APN setting should have no effect on this.
You have 2 different fields when you type *#*#4636#*#*, gsm service and gprs service. If gsm service does not show "in service", you can use any APN in the world and it still won't work.
