[Q] Internet question

Hello there, I have a CDMA Desire which I have flashed to Page Plus a while ago, everything is working on it, including data. But, I seem to only get a 1x connection instead of 3G. I know this may seem like a stupid and noobish question, but I would just like to know if there is any way to switch it to 3G? And what would I need to do? I appreciate any help in advance.

usually you don't have to switch anything on for 3g. if i remember correctly there isn't an option to switch between 2g and 3g on the original htc-sense rom anyway, you only can switch off mobile data completely. so if you have switched on mobile data you should be on full 3g-speed. according to my experience this does not necessarily mean you have a fast internet connection, though.

Hi,
usually the device is configured to use 3G (if available) by default, you can check the setting anyway, just to be on the safe side, Settings->Wireless & networks->Mobile networks->Network mode and choose the double option (on my device it is GSM/WCDMA auto but in the US I guess it will be slightly different).
I hope I've been useful,
bye

I'm still confused. When I go to mobile networks on the settings, there is no option to change the network settings, only for the system select and such. If it helps a bit more, I'm currently on the MIUI rom. What would I need to do to get 3G working? Sorry if I'm still sounding like a total noob, it just seems weird that I would only get 1x instead of 3G.

Hi,
can you please post a screenshot of your mobile networks settings?
Just to see if it helps us understanding better

I cannot post a screenshot right now, but basically, when I press Mobile Network settings, I get 4 options. Data enabled, always recieve MMS, data roaming, and system select. When I press system select, the only two options are automatic and home only.

Mmm I don't know what to say, I checked also on my secondary phone (Huawei, standard stock android) and I have the same configuration items plus 1, "use only 2g networks", I don't know why you don't have it

I googled a little bit and I found out that some people are experiencing the same problem with miui, they can't get 3g working and can't find the conf item in mobile networks settings. Why don't you try a different ROM? Just to check whether it is a miui problem

I'm still not having much luck. Do you guys think it could be related to the PRL? Or should I keep trying to find more ROMs to flash?

3G Missing

Hello,
I lost my sII and went back to my evo
I was running an old deck rom I got a few months back, and when I got my phone switched, the 3G didn't work. So I got a new ROM (twin turbo one) and the same issues. I can make calls and get them, same with texts. Also if I use 4g I can access the internet and related things, except that I cannot download any market apps using 4g....
Any idea what is going on? I checked for mobile data being off, also rebooted. Suggestions?
Thanks!

did you set the apns correctly?

How would I check that?
Did some googling and this is the best that I found
" It appears that on my GSM operator the 3G settings are not automatically detected and you need to enter them manually. To do that you need to go to Settings>Wireless & Networks>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names. "
but...that doesn't really help me because my settings menu doesn't have an Access Point Names option. I will do some more research but if you can respond on exactly what to do, that would be great

I'm having same 3g issue. There is no 4G in my area.
Backed up apn from my hero which gets 3g and restored on my EVO but no change.

Try flashing back to your original nandroid backup, backing the apn's up, and restoring them in the new rom?

One of my ha passwords got corrupted when I was in the ##data menu. Have you gone in and tried restoring it with a sense Rom?

No Mobile Data Connection, IMEI Still Intact [AT&T]

For some reason, just stopped recieving connectivity for 4G/HSPA+. Worked fine after flashing over to TuchMi S3X, but today it just stopped. I checked if my IMEI was corrupted, it's not, matches what's under my battery. I also tried re-entering the APN settings, found here, to no avail. I have full bars, still receiving calls and texts, but can't get on the internet at all unless I connect to Wifi. I've also tried toggling airplane mode and restoring a Nandroid back up with no success.
I have an AT&T device, running this ROM, rooted through this method, with clockwork recovery flashed through the terminal emulator. This was done over a week ago when i got the phone, and I haven't had any issues until today.
What should I attempt to remedy the issue?
EDIT: The default APN is still in my settings, unable to be changed. Using the two provided from the above link, I can get the 4G icon to appear briefly before disappearing when switching between the two, but that's all I've managed so far.

I don't see that that rom us based on s original at&t rom and that could be your issue.

gs3 loses data when traveling

Hey everyone I'm using the AT&T gs3 with task650's version of AOKP flashed onto it and it is the latest build. So anyway here's my problem, I live in Long Island NY and I often travel to Manhattan. Whenever I go to Manhattan or anywhere around there my phone doesn't get data but I see that i have 5 bars of connection and the wifi also works when I visit my friends house. I know that the areas I go definitely are getting good data connection because it is in the heart of the city. If anyone knows a fix for this I would greatly appreciate it, And sorry if someone posted a fix to this already but I couldn't find one myself. Thanks.

Hold your data toggle and in the settings menu that pops up, enable data roaming and reboot. If ghat doesn't work enable all networks in the data roaming menu and reboot again.

I had a similar issue recently. My problem was I went from 3g to 4g but forgot to select the correct APN. Make sure under settings>More>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names that LTE is selected. That solved the issue for me.

Stuck on 2G

For some reason when my phone goes to sleep it will wake up and be stuck on edge or gprs. This seems to only happen in one particular location. I tried a different apn but this didn't fix it. I'm wondering if it's a phone issue or a network issue. This seems to be a rather new problem.

Do u have any profile application that sets your network mode based on the location you are at?
Does that particular area have 3g? Have u tried it on another phone?
