Hi everyone,
Not sure where to post so just posting here in general. One week ago I bought a contract from T-Mobile UK on samsung galaxy s3 GT-I9305 LTE version with unlimited text and internet.
The problem I am facing is that my SKYPE work perfect on wifi but On 3G its does not work at all. can not even login.
I have searched the google and found out that orange and t-mobile uk blocks VOIP and skype calls (specially block skype).
Is there any way around to use skype on 3G? like change port or using some sort of bypass or somefing?
Regards,
In settings > more settings > mobile networks > there are 3 options . There is an automatic option which jumps from band to band depending on coverage. 1. lte/gsm/wcdma 2. gsm 3. Wcdma the later 2 options is 3g mode and I think wcdma means 2g not sure
But Skype works fine for me I always leave it on option 1. Auto
Skype itself does not have any options for this.

Thanks for the quick reply. Mine is set to AUTO as you said. Its not phone problem. Its EE (T-mobile uk and orange) who is blocking SKYPE. My work colleague have iphone 5 on same network and he is also unable to use SKYPE on 3G..

Hi,
I am an android noob and would really appreciate some help here. I recently acquired a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10i running on Gingerbread 2.3.3. The phone however has failed to live up to my expectations as its connectivity to the internet is very terrible. The mobile networks in my location provide either 3G or HSDPA. The phone however is predominantly on EDGE and even then there is no connectivity with EDGE. Only Opera Mini manages to pull down pages after many minutes of requesting the page and constant refreshing. The same SIM when inserted in a USB Modem dongle gives stable HSDPA internet connectivity. When connected to HSDPA though, the phone's connectivity i trouble free. My question is: Why am I unable to browse or use any of the apps (facebook,play store, twitter, bbc news, Y! Messenger etc) with and EDGE connection? I have tried to restrict connectivity to only WCDMA in settings but this only results in long periods of loss of network on the phone. Help please. I need the phone to operate on EDGE as well as HSDPA as most parts of Nigeria has EDGE coverage with HSDPA only being rolled out in stages in select locations. Thanks

Try to change the network mode to GSM/WCDMA preferred.nd in ur area if there is no full coverage of hsdpa.then the network mode fluctuates to edge to hsdpa.so if u want nly 2g.then select GSM only.then the network wnt fulctuate to hsdpa.
if helped hit thanks
any other queries reply

Lke you said if its hard to get a 2g connection the x10 may not be capable of it for some reason in your area :/
If u want to switch between 2g n 3g ,that depends on.ur network provider ( I in India went and ask Docomo service company if I could switch between 2g( EDGE) AND 3g . I got a flat ' no ' reply) .
If u only want 2g go to network settings, and change to GSM only. It may work provided ur service provider doesn't use 3g on it.

Just switch your network to GSM only in network settings and it would only pick up 2G.

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.
Hello,
I have a Samsung galaxy s3 international rooted and stock Samsung 4.1.2.
My question is I got the cheapest package of t mobile which is 500mb of high speed data (unlimited 2g)and unlimited calls and texts. I wanted to know is there a way I can manually just use 2g when I want to versus 4g?
Do I have to switch network mode? There is auto, gsm and wcdma. Which one should I be on?
P. S. I can use 2g only if I switch to gsm but then I can't receive phone calls. I can call though. Same situation with auto.
Please help!

GSM only will force 2G. And if you can make calls Id assume it should be possible to receive them.
