Best ROM for data speeds - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all, I just bought a NET10 plan which runs on AT&T signals and they support 3G network. I cofigured all APN settings as NET10 supplied them to me, but I can't get 3G running on my Arc :/ Data is working but only on EDGE speeds. I checked and the Arc is capable of running AT&T's 3G networks. Could it be my ROM? I'm running Xperia ICS & JB Remix V.3 on a LT15i (Arc)

Set your device to WCDMA preffered or WCDMA only.. Maybe your device is set to run on GSM only (which will give you only EDGE connection).
ROM has nothing to do with data speed (but yes you can do some tweaks though).

Which version of the arc do u have? I had the mk16i and could not get 3g on straight talk but soon found out that the mk16i don't work on U.S. 3g networks..so I got the mk16a and now 3g works...

I'll try this... I haven't checked this out. Thanks!
Update#1: It was already on "WCDMA preffered/GSM". Tried to change it to "WCDMA only" and lost all signal, didn't got it back. Had to change it back to WCDMA preffered.

Just discovered that LT15i only runs HSDPA 900 / 2100 3G networks while NET10/AT&T 3G network runs on 850 /1900 MHz!
It wont ever run 3G for what it seems...
If I only had an LT15a which runs on 850 / 1900 3G network....

As far as I know, nope. The Tegra 2 doesn't support it.
If I were to unlock this phone could I get 4g speeds from a diffrent network?

According to GSMArena, the i927 utilizes the following frequencies:
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100
I'd say that makes it a definite 'no' on the 4g...
HTH
L4T

it's not a 4G phone. hasn't got the right radios for the data speeds. I may be wrong but I don't there is a Tegra 3 with 4G speeds yet.
Here are the specs, which you can find EVERYWHERE:
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
You are only going to get EDGE speeds. Sorry.
Switch to red pocket or h2o or get the one s which is made for T-Mobile networks

UK HTC desire HD work in USA on pay as you go 3g data

I plan on getting a pay as you go sim card when i go to the states but I'm reading conflicting info regarding if my uk desire HD will work in USA on 3g data as different frequency.
Although apparently some carriers in USA use same as UK frequency for 3g data.
Can anyone clear this up?
Thanks in advance

We use band 1900 in the states. Europe uses 2100. I do not think you will get anything other than edge.

Tmo uses 1700/2100 for 3g, but both must be supported for it to work. They are also ref arming their 1900mhz for 3g but the euro dhd doesn't have the bands for it. Only 2g

[Q] 3G not working on my DHD/inspire 4G

hi, I have installed JT R30 by RB on my DHD but 3G is not working. checked the APN setting, but no luck. do I need to install any Radio for 3G to work? right now its 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M. plz help. it did not work with ICS by blackout. :crying:
Whether ur phone is Desire HD or inspire 4g and are u from india. If inspire 4g, then 3g won't work in India as the inspire uses different network bandwidth than present in India.

hey OP, welcome to the forums.
I would change your username as it is your googlemail account and can be used for malicious purposes.
Secondly I don;'t believe that the IG4 works in India
Third, have you tried a different ROM or a full wipe?
Inspire 4G works like a charm in India including 3G. I have used it. Please mention your carrier. Many 3G carriers are providing connectivity problems in India right now.

Airtel does not have its own 3G footprint in Gujarat, it connects to !dea cellular 3G when a subscriber attempts a connection. Try a different 3G SIM of Gujarat like !dea or Tata Docomo.

There is difference in Network
HTC Inspire 4G
HSPA+ 850/1900MHz
GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
HTC Desire HD
Europe:
•HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz
•GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
Asia Pacific:
•HSPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz
•GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
So if you have Inspire 4g then you will not get 3g network in India.

What kind of ROM are you using?
i´m using cyanogenmod 11 2014-01-22 unofficial-vision, i tried with this command (*#*#4636#*#*) to change de base band frecuency and nothing.
Do you have a g2 or desirez, they use different frequencies. You can check with your carrier to see what bands you use and match this to gsm arena to see if its compatible

really i got a t-mobile g2 . and i compare the bands with mi actual carrier, but in the options i can select 2G/3G data, and i got 3G/WCDMA network select but no data, just EDGE.
So your carrier uses 1700 and 2100 bands?

If your carrier runs on the same frequencies as AT&T US does, you're not gonna have anything other than Edge data. I use them on a T-Mobile G2, which is how I know firsthand .
