Hey all.
I am on wanamlite 2.7 and perseus 32.1
I have recently activated 3g on my phone.
I am on airtel which is a gsm carrier but 3g runs on wcdma only if I am correct.
Now the problem is I get 0 signals if I select wcdma only or 2g if I select gsm only. Now how can I select gsm for mobile network and wcdma for 3g. In auto mode I get almost 0 signals. It is very annoying to change it every time.

You can't select dual mode like for mobile 2G and for data 3G
WCDAMA only is 3G only
GSM only is 2G only
Auto mode mode means your device will get connected to 3G whenever there is 3G network available, in case you are in area where 3G is not available it will connect to 2G.
when you are selecting WCDMA and not getting signal that suggest there is no 3G network available in your area.
it is advisable to keep Auto. so whenever there is 3g available you will get connect to it, and you can see 3G on status bar, when there is active data sync going on, it will be changed to H/H+
while whenever there is only 2G network available you can see E symbol in status bar.
If you have issue with Auto mode, then just try selecting network manually.
K thanks dr.
But the main prb is I am in my room.
If I select wcdma only then it connects to 3g otherwise in auto mode it stays in 2g mode.

This can happens with poor netwok, if 3G have very poor signal and 2G having strong sometimes it prefers 2G
while you select WCDMA it forces to select 3G.
I get 1 forth or half signal in auto mode otherwise constantly full in gsm only. Irrespective of any other settings...
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
you men you getting 1/4 th of 2G while auto, and full while GSM only
OR you are saying 1/4th or half of 3G network?
when you have less signal just check in setting-about phone-status - network type

one more thing, though it have least chance..
if you are using other country ROM, then just try flashing indian ROM modem
you can get it from my stock ROM thread post#6
Ok I am on wanamlite 2.5 and csc indian changed via csc changer app.
If I select auto mode and am on wifi then I will get full signal (the 4 bars I am talking about).
If I select gsm still 4 bars and in wcdma 0 bars or no connection.
If I disable wifi.
In auto I get 4 bars if I am connected to 2g data or edge and e sign.
If it gets 3g signal with 3g or h or h+ sign I get 2 bars.
Edit:
Outdoors I get 4 bars with h+.
But indoors 1 or 2 bars with h+ or h or 3g but 4 bars with e or wifi.
I don't know if it was due to outdoors or wanamlite downgrade or csc change to inu.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Also if I enable wifi I don't get 4 bars untill I reboot or go back and forth from gsm only and auto mode.

That's clearly suggests you have poor network in your room, but having strong network for edge(2g)
Here nothing can be helpful except airtel itself
Changing csc actually do nothing, if you want to try then just flash indian modem, this may be more tuned for our network.
Otherwise just change operator, we Indian have number portability, why to worry.

before flashing i wanna make sure modems are backwards compatible because I am on wanamlite 2.5 ubdll3.
and I don't think the latest modem ma6 was released back then.
so updating only modem is enough ?
and should it be flashed with pda tab only ?
Not released date but modem from india may have some fine tuning for Indian network
Yes download tar file from post i shown you previously and flash with pda tab of odin.
Indian modem will have letter 'dd' that is important.
Latest indian modem is ddlk6

No that one is not latest but from ll7 rom
One you have described in quoted is perfect and extracting that file, you will find modem.tar that one is latest for India.
I don't think it have compatibility issue.

ok thanks I flashed the modem from ma6 file and now have baseband/modem = N7100DDDLK6
will report on signals after testing a bit.
If you have network issue then it not going to to help you as i said earlier, but at least it will rule out rom issue.

Thanks for the cyanogen mod g2 forum section for this tip!
So i found this method on CM7 Website somewhere
for my Google G2, works on most phones
Lets you lock WCDMA ONLY on your device so you are
always on a 3G/4G (HSPA) tower say bye to E! or anything else.
Make sure you always the newest radios
link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059347
Dial *#*#4636#*#* on the dialer.
Select Phone Information.
Scroll down to "Set Preferred Network Type".
Select WCDMA Only. and hit home and reboot,
ive used it on my g2
mytouch 4g
inspire
atrix
evo
and more!!
jsut try it
Myt4g runs at 4-5mb In orlando FL, with latest radio
hope it helped
so what happens when you leave the 3g/4g area or go to an area where there is only edge? do you just lose data all together? i would rather have edge than have no data at all
it will connect to edge and G etc.

Isn't this just setting 3g only from the power widgets menu in cm7? I Dont even bother with 2g anymore since I live in the city. i barely run out 3g signal where I live so it's not that bad

I can not select WCDMA Only, it will not select it. I can select WCDMA Preferred. Is that just as good?
Also, when I do select WCDMA Preferred, if I hit the back key it sets back to GSM only. If I hit the home button after I select WCDMA only it is still on WCDMA only if I check again, but when I reboot and check once again it is on GSM only. I can not seem to get this to stick.
Thanks for the tip, will give it a try
It won't work if your on WiFi. Gotta be on t-mobile network.

Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
yeah just an FYI...all this is doing is only allowing your device to stay locked to wCDMA...thats it its not in any way enhancing your speeds or signal. Your phones does this automatically anyway except if you do this, now you wont have signal anywhere there is no wCDMA signal, but there is GSM. So technically this isnt any type of signal enhancement, if anything its actually worse for signal and youll have more dropped calls because your device wont be able to toggle to GSM if it needs to
so what should we have it set on?

The default is usually the best setting if you don't use wifi calling or anything.
what was the defualt i cant remember?
Bought my phone form Rogers. LTE was working fine.
Was going to USA and paid an online company to send me unlock code.
Used it and went using Tmobile which only has EDGE data.
Just got back swapped back in my SIM From fRogers and can only get EDGE speeds.
Tried reboots rmoving SIM card.
Also made sure settigns were correct for Rogers APNs and also that toggle was on for GPS/HSPA/LTE.
To no avail.
Briefly, I toggled on and off the apn setting from ROgers LTE to tethering LTE and low and behold it seemed to work.
But now it is back to stuck on EDGE and nothibg I am doing can help.
Can this be a byproduct of the unlock?
Is my LTE faulty?
I s there some hidden menu where perhaps a setting can be changed for a fix?
I am depserate as the alternative is to return the phone and they are on backorder everywhere now.
have you gone into settings> more settings> mobile newtorks>and taken a look at your access point names and your network mode?
yes
I even confirmed with Rogers and settings are correct
Are there any service mode type ways to switch on/off data? Maybe I inadvertently did something
What area you in now and was before.
Did you tried different locations like out of your house,work, out of city.

Will try this again. though not sure of that option.
for me under network mode it gives me choice of GSM
HSPa
BOth with auto connect
or those two with LTE auto connect.
Right now if I try to select HSPA only ct it does't change and reverts to GSM/HSPA/LTE (auto). Seems it will only accept a choice that allows it to default back to Edge (GSM)
Anyone know if there are some deeper settings to

If I change the sim and put it in my old s2 I get 3g speeds right away so I should at least be getting that and I know form the day I got it that LTE was working well in my home.
it depends on what they flashed maybe they flashed a different antenna because the freq's of the tmo version are diff than the rogers version
Wasn't a flash. It was an unlock code for Rogers entered at the invalid SIM screen. They were not told which network I would be using it

Try resetting factory settings again, and flash this Rogers modem.

Can I flash the modem if I am not rooted.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Does flashing the modem show evidence of such?
I.e if this attempt at a fix fails my recourse is to return the phone as defective. Don't want there to be any evidence of tampering that could void my warranty
You can flash modem.without rooted.
Zip.file.modem.through cwm or .tar modem file through Odin.
And if you are under 14 days of purchase, reset your phone to get your log minutes under 30.
But I guess you.won't need to do.that, flashing.modem and reset should work.
Sent from my SGH-I317M using xda app-developers app
Well did factory reset before risking modem flash.
Low and behold while i had to reinstall and setup everything again, LTE is now working again.
Not sure what happened. Will ultimately root at least to back things up.
I am not sure if this is the right place to have this but I have a tmob s3 that I am trying to get the 3G on att to work. I know the lte won't work but the hspa should thou since it has the proper bands for it.
I have been able to get the 3G to work by manual setting it by the dialer but it won't make calls until I set to it back to automatic it. It won't go back to 3G until I manual set it back
I have tried every apn settings and nothing doing...
I am not sure but maybe I need to try a different radio? I am currently on the latest jb radio.
Any ideas?

I think you need to make sure your phone sim is unlocked. You can do it by some method on these boards or you can call your tmobile and ask them for the unlock code.

If its unlocked you should only need to pop the att sim card in and it shoudl automaticly set the att apns(on CM10 or any aosp rom, rebuild TW rom), and get hspa+, tho if your on stock rom you need to add the apns manually since the apn.xml inside framework-res.jar dosnt have them.
Yea its already unlocked and it gets service it just doesn't make the switch to hspa+ unless I manual force it to do so and it doesn't always work sometimes it will show now service

Please tell me which one works on your mobile.
*#*#info#*#* is to set your network mode. Set it to LTE WCDMA GSM
And change Appropriate bands from other two codes or check on Auto select
