[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

Not getting LTE

Hi guys I had to make a thread because I really don't know what's happening.
From stock I updated to the leaked ICS that came out in the spring. This is where I noticed I could not get lte.
I updated to cyanogen 9 and currently on 10.
I noticed that when I try changing networks from wcdma preferred to auto lte gsm it doesn't stick. It goes back to wcdma preferred even in *#*#4636#*#*... ohhh when I first flashed to the leaked ICS I had it set to wcdma preferred.
Why after I flash anything while on wcdma preferred It is unable to change or stick to any network? BTW even if I change it without exiting the screen I still can't get lte. Yes I'm in lte coverage and have the plan.
Please help thanks

Happened to me aswell, the only fix i could find is to go through the unbricking process to restore LTE connectivity, after that i changed my settings in *#*#4636#*#* and i lost LTE again. Only way i know of is to just do the unbricking process and flash whatever ROM you use, and avoid from changing the network settings via *#*#4636#*#*. Besides in cyanogen mod there is an option in the settings app to change networks and use 2g only. Changing network settings in settings app wont cause you to loose LTE once you change it back to the WCDMA/gsm mode in settings app again

I would try doing flashing a new basband/firmware and then doing a factory reset, if that doesnt help, then I would do the unbrick proccess. (takes about an hour)

Disable lte and force HSDPA on aosp

Hello i am enduring the hurricane and I lost power, peco statement says it could be out for days. I really need to disable lte so I can get data without killing my battery. I already burned a good amount of my battery searching on how to do this but couldn't find anything yet
I'm on aosp so dialing *#2263*# does nothing.
When I try selecting my old HSDPA APN (att) it won't connect to anything. And I when I switch my network mode in data settings it just won't let me select wcdma.
Seriously I need a miracle. I don't have much juice left.. if I don't make it.... send help
Jk I'm not flooded or anything lol i just need internet.
Dial *#*#4636#*#* and choose wcdma preferred.
This doesn't work for me. It just pops right back to lte. I'm on tasks aokp.

Settings>Wireless 7 Networks (More...)>MobileNetworks>Network Type> Choose the one without HSPA one without LTE. Should say something like GSM/HSPA. If this doesn't work then you will need to try something else...
Under those settings I have lte/gsm/wcdma and gsm/wcdma.
I can't switch off the lte one. It just goes back. There is another setting "use 2g networks only" and this also does not work. I am using tasks latest aokp ROM and toonz latest kernel. Maybe i should try another radio?
Using uclh9 radio.

Bump. Does anybody know how I can disable LTE? Tried both methods in this post and i can't disable it.
To do this you also have to set the phone and mms APN. I rememebr a few times on my Note getting it to switch and stay after switching APNs to phone then choosing wCDMA otherwise it just goes back to LTE. PTA will lock you to LTE. Also it may lock to LTE in the radio load.

To change the APN you go to settings > under network click "more" > click Mobile Networks > Access Point Names
But you need to know the APN Settings. Idk what they are for no LTE.
And I have same issue, select wap.cingular and I get no data

Wap Cingular is the no lte apn, but like you've found out its not working anymore for some people. Works for me, but my hsdpa is one quarter its normal speed.

Hey guys, if you would like the correct HSPA+ APN to switch to on AT&T, please see my signature and use the APN in the OP of my thread.

T-mobile network type?

If I'm on t-mobile, should I have my phone set to GSM/WCDMA, or both?
it depends what you prefer do you use data often or are you a just a texter small time web browsing few calls here and there i would leave it at gsm (2g) wcdma would be 3g/4g kicking and rocking all day long so it all depends what you prefer i have mine on wcdma but when im not using it i just put on 2g because it saves battery

Ah ok, so WCDMA is the 3g/4g service, but 2g is E? Would that open up using other network towers, suhc as ATT while roaming?
yes it will show those networks sometimes so if your phone is unlocked you would be able to use it on att....just would need to swap out the sim card if you do but if you are on tmobile it would not matter because they would only go the network that is clicked when you go into network settings

[Q] how to set GSM only network on AT&T Samsung SGH-i747

hi,
I have Samsung AT&T I747 with HyperDrive ROM. It always registered on GSM/LTE/CDMA preffred mode and I m unable to set it to GSM only mode. I even go to and set manually GSM only in mobile network setting but again it jumps to GSM/LTE/CDMA mode...
Please suggest me how to set it to GSM mode only.... I tried *#2263# also, but it also does not work.
Thanks

You can not do this. GSM/LTE/CDMA is the correct mode it should be on
Might I ask why you want to do that ?

thanks for taking this up, actually I had 2G internet activated on my mobile plan. And when I set all the modes ON, it drains my battery fast and always jump my device from GSM to 3G and bounce back very frequently and my phone sometimes goes unreachable.
So previously when I was on stock ROM then it used to search only for 2G network and my battery also does not drain fast.

Could be that its a Verizon based rom. Try an at&t or T-Mobile based ROM. See if you have problem

I haven't seen your ROM but, on AOKP you would go to Settings>More>Mobile networks>Network operators and search for available networks. When search is completed, click on AT&T (there may be more than one showing.) After this, your selection of GSM/WCDMA will "stick." Unfortunately, it has to be repeated after every reboot.
