WCDMA / GSM auto problem

Hello Guys,
I'm experiencing a problem with my Froyo Desire for probably a week now.
The thing is that in certain areas my Phone can not receive calls / sms or such. In other words "GSM services" dont work. 3g though works fine (stable, strong and fast connection) My Provider is T-Mobile.
After quite a lot of testing I was able to isolate the error:
When WCDMA / GSM is chosen by the phone automatically it seems to me as if it didnt switch "back" to register with my provider via GSM when i want to make a call or if someone wants to call me.
When i switch to "GSM only" manually everything works fine but i have no 3g of course.
I also experience this problem only in certain areas. I live in an area where there is really strong HSDPA available (up to 7mbit\s). When i go to other places of my city i still get HSDPA (not as strong) but calls / sms still work.
The last paragraph may be of no importance, i don know.. probably it helps..
I have googled quite much about this problem and also found a few persons experiencing the same issue but nobody was able to come up with a solution.
I would be very thankful if someone could try to figure this out.

gsm only Desire?
I'm having a nightmare with 3g 2g connectivity on my Desire on the three network whilst at home. If I could manually select gsm only this would be fine as I could still call and text and use wi-fi. Unfortunately my options are gsm/wcdpa (or whatever) auto or the 3g only.
can someone please advise if it is possible to select gsm only and if so, how?
many thanks

Can someone please advise me how if possible, to set the desire to gsm only?

Wireless and network-Mobile network- should be here somewhere.

Thanks, but there is no option for gsm only. It's wcdma only or gsm/wcdma auto. there has to be a way around this.

Similar problem, different version
I've experienced similar problem.
In some area, I can get steady grps signal when I switched GSM only on; but when I switched WCDMA/GSM on, I could get no data connection at all.
I'm using China Unicom's mobile service.

Solution
Hi there,
I've the same issue and I fix it allowing the option GSM/WCDMA Auto in the configuration menu.
Then enter the following code *#*#4636#*#*, select "phone Information" and set preferred network type, set "GSM car (PRL)".
Sorry about my bad english.

[Q] help!3G connectivity has gone from my phone

my phone can not connect to 3G networks in most of our city, while it used to work just fine in these same places. at first i thought there must be something wrong with the carrier's base stations. but today i tested my SIM card on another LU6200(Korean version of Nitro HD) and it works perfectly both on 3G and 2g networks on that phone. but when i put it back into my phone, it can only get 2G signal. if i set the Preferred Network Type to WCDMA ONLY, it got no signal with just a cross on the signal bar. i have to put it back into GSM ONLY mode to receive signal.if i go out, i can get partial 3G connectivity here and there, but not consistently. sometimes even if i have full 3G bar signals on the status bar, i can not make calls or connect to the internet.i've got this problem probably after i tried to forcibly go into the Phone Info menu.i got repetitive " the process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly" promps , and i just ignored it and tried again. now ,2 options are missing from the menu, LTE/WCDMA/GSM and LTE Global.in place of them, it's UNKNOWN. i already tried flashing KDZ package of no avail. Does this mean a hardware malfucntion or software glitch?Please help!Thank you in advance

Well you do HAVE GSM only selected. THATS 2G(EDGE)
for 3G you would need to select WCDMA

[Q] Can AT&T be used with a Korean Optimus G Pro?

Hi everyone and thanks in advance for your time.
I have an unlocked Korean Optimus G Pro from the Olleh company. I switched providers to AT&T but it seems that the phone doesn't has access to the Data network provided. I have great phone signal but no Data network (No 4G LTE, 3G, Edge. Nothing at all). Everytime I turn on my data I get the message "Connection unavailable. Configure Mobile Network or Wi-Fi settings to download data."
I understand that AT&T is GSM. But this phone so far is only working with WCDMA only. I've tried switching it to GSM or any ways to make data network available with AT&T but so far it is not working. I checked the WCDMA Service settings but no luck.
Can anyone help me with this? Thanks! :good:

i live in pakistan , i set the apn for my network but still cant get a 3g, H, H+ on my phone . Lg g pro F240L. Any suggestion?

g3 d850 unlocked cannot detect 3g, hsdpa or 4g lte.

hello! i have g3 d850 at&t and its unlocked but i have problems while i try to connect phone with 3g or 4g lte data, signal bar ddisappears when i force connect with wcdma or lte. gsm work well. apn is ok. o g2 i have 3g 4g lte ok, with same apn and same parameters but on g3 i can connect only with 2g or E. please help me!

Same happen to me
Kind of the same happens to me(I'm in Claro - Argentina provider) and also D855
Signal bars go when i select WCDMA only but when i go LTE/WCDMA/GSM, i do get 3G+ but after a while (dont know if its when the device goes to sleep or idk, but after 30+- minutes) the modem stop responding, i can't make calls, get them or get any data.
I havent been able to find why this happens (tried different versions modem) and roms.... any help would also be apreciated.

I get it sometimes too and for me the solution is changing the APN. Sometimes carriers have different apns like "vodafone live" and "vodafone internet". So be sure you choose the right apn settings.

S4 Mini 19190 stuck on EDGE network

Hello everyone , I'm from Morocco and I need help with my device's Mobile Data.
To begin with, I've got an S4 mini 19190 3G variant, I installed a cyanogenmod ROM, it's a cm13 version, android 6.0.1. I'm using a TWRP recovery.
I've had a cm12.1 before and had the same exact problem: I'm always stuck on EDGE network .
I've gone to the settings, and made sure to choose 3G in the preffered network type.
My APN setting are correctly configured.
I've tried forcing the device to choose WCDMA by going to Phone Info. Choosing the WCDMA option disables Mobile Data and calls, with emergency calls enabled only.
Choosing the "WCDMA preffered" option doesn't change anything, it's still on EDGE.
I've looked for a solution, and noticed that some people had a problem with IMEI number, I've checked it, it's the same as the one on the back of the phone.
Anyone got any idea on how to fix this? Thank you .

Are you sure that your area has any WCDMA connection? Can you check with another phone?

Yes, I've already had H+ connection on the same phone but with a different version of the ROM, and my father has H+ working perfectly on his SGS5. I didn't try with another phone, I'll try and see if the problem comes from the SIM.

Omg Thank you! Why didn't I think of that! (How stupid of me) I tried my SIM card on a different phone (that had H+ working on it) and it went on EDGE network, and I chose WCDMA only and the connection was lost. There is a problem with my SIM card, I'm going to contact my service provider to fix this
Thanks Again!!
