[Q] showing cell connection - Themer General Discussion

I have in zooper widget setting of cell connection (widget shows type: edge or hspa) - #NCCONN#
I need help with condition:
If cell conection is EDGE - widget shows nothing.... and if cell connection is HSPA - widget shows HSPA.
How will I set it?
Thx for help

I have it
$#NCCONN#!=EDGE?HSPA$

#NCCONN# always shows the right connection type for me. Your formula will always show HSPA when its not EDGE, even if its GSM or HSUPA.

Stupid question regarding mobile network type for those on 3UK...

In settings, about phone, status what does it say for you guys on three uk under mobile network type.
Mine would say HSPDA regardless of being on 3g or H, now though it constantly displays UMTS
Is that normal? Is it because I've flashed a custom rom?
And also I've noticed my data connection changes often from 3g to H.
Lastly in network mode do you guys have it on auto or WCDMA only.
Thanks
Well it will switch to 3g(umts) when there isn't anybdata being sent/received. When you need data it switches to h(hspa) so you get the fastest speeds.
This is to save battery life, so when you check in settings your probably not pulling data.
Try downloading something then looking.

Thanks for the helpful reply.
Another thing though, would it benefit me switching to wcdma only instead of auto,?

[Q] Can't choose 2G network...

Hello people!
I just got my new RAZR, in Spain it has just been released with Movistar carrier.
Well... The thing is 3G network in Spain is terrible, there is very bad signal even living in the city center.
I can notice that the RAZR's receiver is not as good as other phones, for instance Xperia Play (which hardware is one of the best I have ever seen, sound, camera, signal, and screen are great, not CPU and GPU lol), which got much better wifi and phone signal, but that is not the question.
I can't choose only 2G connection in settings/wireless connections/mobile network/select network it only appears "only 3G (better performance) and "Automatic default", and the signal is always changing between "H" , "3G" and "U" ...
I just want it to connect to GPRS or however it's called, just as I did with my iPhone 3GS which i could turn off 3G and turn on whenever I wanted
Is there any widget, toggle or something yo change between 2G and 3G?
Sorry for my language
No widgets, no apps and no solution?
Extended controls did not work, it just shortcutted to the "mobile network" menu...
EDIT:
Motorola Support confirms in the unlocked factory version exists "Only 2G" option in network settings...
Must be a Movistar customization setting...
¿Does anyone know how to install factory rom?
try typing *#*#4636#*#* and you should be able to choose 2g network

Or to make it slightly easier, you can download the phone info app from the market and select from a drop down menu

I do not want 3G signal, i only want H

Hi there,
i have a question related to internet speed
In setting there is 3 options for choosing internet data
- 2G only
- 3G only
- automatic
in my countries 2G is horribly slow
When i access to internet i change to ''3G only'' but the signals i receive can be 3G or H, i only want ''H'' signal not 3G because 3G is still slow for normal surfing!!!
how can i change to ''H'' only?
I have been watching for my 3G/H icon in CM7 and it seems Atrix uses 3G only for standby (maybe 3G mode drains less energy), when data starts to transfer it automatically switches to HSDPA mode. So you don't need to change it to HSDPA manually

Your phone should jump to HSPA if it is available, or else it will use UTMS.
Flash the latest radio. After that I can switch networks as I want.
You can not just change to H. Speed depends of coverage in your area. Phone will use the best and fastest available speed/network. You can force 3G but then with just 2G coverage your phone will be off line.

That's right. I can use just edge and it works just fine. 3g is not the best in my area. You cannot force H. Correct.
Depending on your Rom, when it says 3g, it will be because you're not using data at the time. Then when you're using data it switches to H. I say depending on Rom because for example, I'm running Alien, and it says H all the time.

X10i fluctuates between HSDPA & EDGE, doesnt browse or connect to the web on EDGE

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

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.

[Q] Tasker - Toggle WiFi off when cell network is HSPA

I posted this in Nexus 4 Q&A a month ago, but received no responses. I badly need this, so any info is appreciated!
I need to set up a tasker profile so that it monitors cell network type, not mobile data type, as cell network type can be monitored while connected to a WiFi access point.
If cell network type is HSPA or LTE, then turn WiFi off.
If cell network type is not HSPA or LTE, then turn WiFi on.
I need this so that my phone will connect to a Verizon jetpack when I am in a crappy EDGE area, but automatically starts using my unlimited data on the phone when I am in an HSPA or LTE area. I will be driving all summer and this would help keep data costs down.
Does anyone know of a plugin for tasker or another app that will monitor cell network type?
The phone is a Nexus 4 running CM 10.1 nightlies.
