Hi guys,
When I have roaming enabled and I'm not connect to 3G and only the GPRS I seem to miss alot of calls. Is there a way to only connect to APN if 3G is available?
Thanks
Settings -> Wireless and Networks -> Mobile Network Settings -> Connection type ->
It will be set on GSM/WCDMA, set it to WCDMA only

I have just tried this but I loose signal when WCDMA is only enabled?
Well that is 3G only, if you are losing signal it's because 3G isn't available where you are located, which is why your phone switches to GSM when given the chance.
I think you missed the OPs point!
What he means is that he only wants the phone to connect to the mobile network whilst in 3G coverage. i.e. he wants to keep the 2G/3G for voice and have the data only active when 3G is available.

Dave

Settings/Wirless & networks/Mobile networks Untick Data roaming.
Works for me on Three (H3G)

But this will stop data roaming all together? I still want it to sync auto
Thanks

That works on Three because Three doesn't have a 2G network. If you are on a network with both 2G and 3G networks (i.e. all the other UK carriers, not MVNOs), it won't do anything.

Hi guys,
Thanks for all the feedback. I have actually found an application on the market place called "3G only" it runs in the background and only allows you to use 3G and ignores GPRS. Works a treat!
How are you getting on with this app?
How are you finding this app?
So basically, you can only get "data" type stuff when you are in a 3g area?
Do you find your battery life is better?
What network are you on?
Thanx

Not really done much testing on the battery (not really kept on an eye on it) but basically it will only allow data to connect when I'm in a 3G area! Very useful as I have found I sometimes loose calls when it uses GPRS.
I'm on o2 in UK, Lincolnshire
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the reply, Im also on O2. I have installed it but havent tried it..i will do when i get round to it
Hi, I have a widget in android that its function is to rename the "APN" to turn the data connection.
Looking for some to do the same but also change the band 3g to 2g?.
That is, when active data is changed to 3G and turn off data when you switch to 2g.
thanks and sorry for my English.
Maybe Elixir ? Its changing AP name...(eg: from internet-interne-elixir).
when i put network mode in auto,i want the phone to connect to 2g network first till data network is activated and then it should switch to 3g.is there any way to do this?
is there any way to give delay in auto mode?
what i have observed is,when the phone is in auto mode, some times it connects to 2g data network first then it switches to 3g.in this case ,i'm getting 3g data speeds with 2g data plan.for this purpose,every time i want the phone to connect to 2g network first till data network activates then switch to 3g.can we do this in ril source files?
thankz in advance
I'm wondering if anyone is having issues with the new radio (GA02) connecting to 3G. My Gnex keeps loosing 3G randomly or after leaving a Wifi network, sometimes it would take a long time or never connect. I have to keep rebooting the phone until it connects.. any suggestion??
Do you have data roaming enabled?

Ok so i have the tmobile sim in my verizon phone I am using the fast.T-Mobile.com apn settings I'm in a 4g area. My issue is my phone rapidly changes from h+ to 3g, to 4g lte and very seldom edge..... Fyi happens as I'm at work so I'm stationary. Data works but kinda lags at times. Any thoughts as to why or what to do??? And I have tried ipv4/6 and just each respectively. Thanks in advance.
