3g problem on defy

hey all, my defy has a weird problem. even when I'm on 3g the speed is only limited to 5 kBps ....I'm on cm7 rc1.5 and is it because of the baseband?.....I'm from India and the frequency is 900/1800 but in the defy baseband switcher I can't find an option for the above frequency ...I can only see an option for 900/2100... can anyone tell me how to fix this problem or suggest a baseband switcher with the above mentioned frequency ....plz help....there is 1 more thing ...I get the H symbol and the signal strength is 85 to 75 dBm but even then the speed is only 5 kBps

Can someone tell me how I can switch my baseband to 900/1800 ?

Some local ISP down throttle the speed when you reached the given maximum 3G data cap. This usually applied to unlimited plan data line. So you might need to check first with your ISP before jump to the conclusion of your Defy having problem.

been experiencing the same issue for a while , am assuming its a service provider issue but am not sure . Plus on the newer cm nightlies the defy baseband switcher doesnt have the indian baseband in it and i have to manually flash baseband switcherv4v0.7 to select the indian baseband and it still gives me exactly the same speeds as you mentioned above

I have a 4.1 baseband switcher and it has Indian baseband option but it shows the Indian frequency as 900/ 2100 instead of 900/1800....that's y I need a 900/1800 option on the baseband switcher
Sent from my MB525 using xda premium

will try the 4.1 switcher and see if there are any changes ... i doubt it considering this issue has been troubling me for over a month or 2

i have 900/1800 baseband option but it makes no difference , i get the same speeds as you mentioned above. It was fine for me in the earlier versions of cm7 dont know when this issue cropped up but yeah its a total bummer

AFAIK India uses the 2100mHz frequency for 3G. But in any case if you want to try 1800mHz, choose any of the countries that use 1800mHz from the list, the country doesn't matter. 1800mHz is 1800mHz in any country in the world

ummm i thought it was 1800mhz because that worked perfectly fine for me ..... ok either ways any idea on why the slow download speeds on 3g frequencies because it used to work fine for me

Sometimes the speed would return to normal for a while if I switched to airplane mode and after a few hours I switched to normal mode ...but it would last for a short while only ....I am really puzzled
Sent from my MB525 using xda premium

have to make a correction i wasnt using the 1800 band was using the 2100 band only ma bad ... hmmm havent tried that out yet will try and let you know ....

tried it out didnt work for me at all ... really wish if somebody does have any info about this .... will try other baseband settings to see if anything helps

HSDPA connection + only 5kps = ISP limiting speed. Just too much of a coincidence that you are getting GPRS speeds while having a 3G Connection established.

if its ISP limiting , is there a way to stop it?

Anyone? Plz help

Not many choices if it is your ISP, getting a new Data Plan or wait until your renew cycle

I still think you should check with your ISP first as I see it came from your data traffic having limit the speed or changes in their plan without notifying you.

I don't think you need to do anything special for that. Mine works fine on the Bell Canada HSDPA network.

If you mean being able to use internet during a call, it depends on your carrier and the wireless technology they use.
If your carrier uses cdma technology (e.g. Verizon), then you cant, as cdma does not support voice and packet service simultaneously.
If wcdma is used, then you can used both voice and packet service at the same time.

That's weird, because I'm on Verizon and have used Chrome several times during a phone call.

Is that you mean this is the network operator problem, not Note 2 (phone) problem?
But I tried to use the same network operator (in my country called DIGI, my current phone line) with IPhone, it work fine!!
But, when I put the same SIM card into Note 2, it does not 'always' work!! I mean sometime it work, most of the time it does not work!!

Your area may have bad 3g connection (3g,H,H+) and signal will drop to only GSM (GPRS/EDGE). In GSM mode you cannot make calls and use data connection at the same time.
Try changing your network connection to only WCDMA and retest.

Just went to Settings->Mobile Network->Network Mode->WCDMA Only.. And the problem's gone!
I'm on AirTel and when using 2G (EDGE as the Mobile Network Type in Settings->About->Network).... this problem occurs...
Once I switch to 3G (UTMS / HSDPA as the Mobile Network Type), these ads never come! :victory:

Slow WiFi

I purchased the G3 a week ago , hoping for a change from Samsung. The G3 is overall great but since day one had problems with WiFi. At my job it connects to WiFi but the internet wont work and all my other devices connect no problem. At home all my devices fly on Wifi but the G3 buffers and crawls to load videos and data. Im thinking about exchanging for a new G3 but i see alot of people have the same issues. Wondering is it anything i can do for the G3 to better the experience with Wifi

No troubles here

Run a speed test and let us know your results.
I don't have any issues here with Wi-Fi though lte is twice as fast.

Did you got airte Sim pre installed in the phone or it old sim.
Can be a problem with Android one because they are giving free download for Six months. May be they dont want to give 3G speed.
In any case you should ask the airtel guys, you should also tru to consult Micromax customer support or Service center.

How many sims are you using?
Is ur 3g sim in sim 1 slot?
