[Q] How to enable 3G on Viewpad 7 - Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants

I have recently purchased a viewpad 7. I have also enabled 3G services from my operator. Can somebody help me in the following:-
(a) How to start a video call?
(b) What will be the indication for 3G services running on the pad?
(c) Can someone show me a display of the screen with 3G services enabled?

What is your mobile operator (and country, if applicable) since we have users around the globe on this sub-forum?
Based in US, I've used a prepaid 3G Sim from AT&T (also, tested my China Mobile HK/China dual phone # prepaid Sim) and getting E(dge) or 2G+ voice/data services only along with much faster secured wifi (20GB broadband) - but I'm setup to use Google Voice for all voice calls.
Regardless, the upper right portion of the status bar (on top of the display) should show the "H" or "3G" symbol when data is active.
Try by going to Settings, Wireless & network settings and check your Mobile networks - check that Data is enabled (including roaming, if applicable) and that Network Mode is configured properly, also APN is set for MMS per your mobile operator specifications, etc. etc.
I'm doubtfull about its ability to easily take/make video calls over mobile network (possible & probably easier to configure over wifi - with the proper software as bandwidth needed could be part of the issues) - however, I could be mistaken & not fully up-to-date on this.

I am using BSNL network India. In the mobile network settings on enabling data, the download E symbol shows up on the top right with arrow marks. I am able to load/upload data but no video calls. The review says that video calls are possible with the viewpad 7. But how please help.....

view this thread i have just run into the same problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1267297
and there is the solution, if you have a different network, pm me ill work out the solution for you
note im with o2 in the uk, as for your other questions, to indicate you have a 3g signal, there will be a 3g icon next to the signal bar, in my case its a H as im connected to a HSDPA signal.

I put my automatically: S

DOes it mean, your VP7 can not connect to internet via mobile/SIM module? I had the same problem with the latest official ROM from VS. I Had to install FM6-3350-0-1008-A01.nb0 which I have to find on this forum. Unfortunately I have lost Czech localization.

1. Disable Mobile data, then wait for 3-5 minutes
2. Enter Service mode, then change network to WCDMA only, repeat it like 2 times.
Done.
Correctly good luck...

my problem is described here -Can others be so kind as to verify if they are also having an issue with receiving voice calls or SMS while their phones are using the 2G network for data access. (3G and wifi either unavailable or turned off.)
We have this issue with Orange and I have tested it on one Sunrise iphone4 and we had the same issue. Which is not surprising since Orange and Sunrise are operated by the same staff. It does work correctly over Swisscom.
I raised this case with Orange over one month ago and they still have given me no concrete feedback as to why their network behaves like this.
(FYI this is a network issue and not related to any phone configuration).
Feel free to harass Orange about this. It might get them to pull their fingers out a bit. When I raised the case it took me about 10 calls to their support plus 2 visits to Orange shops to finally get a technician who was capable of understanding this simple but critical issue.
EXACT STEPS LEADING TO PROBLEM:
1. Force phone to use GSM (2G) mode only or be in an area with no 3G coverage, or if your phone chooses to use the 2G network
2. Disable switching to wifi:
3. Connect to 2G packet data, download email or download webpages: Status Bar-> spinning wheel
4. While packet data is connecting, using another phone place a call to your phone
5. After packet data has connected, using another phone place a call to your Phone
EXPECTED OUTCOME:
You expect the packet data connection to either DROP or be SUSPENDED (depending
on network capabilities) and for the phone to ring indicating an incoming call or SMS.
ACTUAL OUTCOME:
The packet data connection persists and remains active; the phone does not ring
and the call is handled by the network as if the phone was unreachable (for most
users this means forwarding to voicemail).
REPRODUCIBILITY:
always; no exceptions.
This has been tested extensively on the Orange network by me and many other users.
Tested devices which all show the same issue, iPhone4, iPhone3GS, Iphone 3G, several Android models.

network interfaces selection

Hi to all, i have a question about architecture of android OS, and i would have an answer before i start develop my custom android OS.
I would like to know wich "component" of android OS take decision about which network interface use for sending and receive data. As we know, if our system has a 4g network active and is connected to a wifi network too, all network data goes through wifi connection.
I would like to know which is the portion of os that "take" this decision, and if is possible to modify it for manage network connections and traffic forwarding in different way as default (for example send automatically an email with 3g network also if a wifi network is active).

!URGENT! App that tells change in network type?

Hi!
Sorry for the urgent, but my company (where I work) is changing mobile phone company and we want to test the connections/roaming "out in the world"
I'm trying to find an app which can tell me (with use of a log) when the phone is changing between 2G, 3G and 4G/LTE.
So far I've downloaded:
Network Monitor (the yellow icon)
2G 3G 4G LTE Network Monitor
Network Cell Info Lite
Network Signal Info Pro (yes, I bought it)
But I don't feel I got the right app yet -.-
Any help to what app can do what I'm looking for?
2g/3g network switcher by xorware will help maybe

It doesn't seem like what I'm looking for, but it did lead me to this app: Cell Connectivity Tracker
So I'll try that. The Huawei P8 Lite is compatible with that app
Any suggestions is welcome

Android 9, MMS, national roaming and mobile data

Hi!
I started having problems with sending/receiving MMSes after upgrading my HTC U11 to Android 9 a few days ago.
The problem disappears when I turn mobile data on.
My mobile operator uses its own transmitters but also uses networks of three other operators to provide services in areas where they have no coverage.
That's why I always have National Roaming active in my settings. If I have a weak signal, I can switch to a different operator (with whom my MNO has an agreement).
For many years using different Android versions and different HTC devices I could use national roaming without having to turn mobile data on.
I turned the mobile data on only when I had no access to Wi-Fi and wanted to connect to the internet.
And now if mobile data is off I can only send/receive MMSes while connected to my home network/operator. Whenever my phone switches to a different operator, I am unable to send or receive any MMS and I have to turn mobile data on.
Looks like national roaming was previously separated (worked independently) from mobile data and now it works only when mobile data is on.
Do you think it's related to the new Android version itself, or maybe to its interaction with a specific phone model?
Best regards,
Matt
