Maybe you're in an area where there is no 3G coverage, thats why it connects to 2G only.

If u r using DUAL SIM version, then insert your 3G preferred SIM in SIM 2 slot. Then you will be able to use 3G.
Because, in MOTO E there is an option in Settings>Dual SIM settings>(Choose SIM)>Mobile Networks>Preferred Network type>3g/2g
In single SIM version u can choose either network but in DUAL SIM version even though u have the option of choosing, the setting reverts back to default if we change it,
Thus, in SIM 1 slot it remains 2g and in SIM 2 slot it remains 3g
SIM 2 Slot is the one next to MMC slot.

Just set your APN. Enable data in settings.
Once you get connected, just change the preferred network. It should stay.

Its not about the SIM-slot. 3G network is available only for the SIM you prefer to use with data. I'm running 3G on my SIM 1 without any issue.

Don't Do that, actually its the software problem here is mine workaround I use
Follow step carefully
Step 1 - Go to dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#*
Step 2 - Select Phone Information
Step 3 - Scroll down, select preferred network type to WCDMA only.
Step 4 - Enable data
Step 5 - Enjoy HSPA+
Step 6 - Press Thanks if helped

i used this app... for a while it remains on WCDMA ONLY but as soon as i visits any place having weaker 3g signals it revert back to gsm and then it never switch to 3g (even with this app) unless i reboot... anyway thanx for the app
How did u solve it??
Facing the same issue.
@thedeadlycoder @jaspreet997 @aliennastik Which SIM are you using for data? Because it seems all those apps or Android code are meant only for Single 1st SIM. Motorola and others modifies original Android software in their devices to suit double SIM.

Hi Friends:
I bought used MoPho 4g to use overseas (stock 2.3.5 rooted). I popped in a VN sim but the phone tells me that no GSM/UTMS networks were found.
I switch to Global mode, but that still does not make the GSM detected.
The foreign sim works on another unlocked feature phone, so I know the account/SIM is good. When I go to the security settings to do a SIM lock (just to see), it says that no SIM is found.
In any case, I would think even if no SIM is found, that the phone should detect a GSM network, but it does not.
Thoughts?
You could have switched baseband. Try to reflash radio with RSD Lite. But first read, before flashing. Read twice or more.
Start in Photon Compendium thread and then 2.3.5 sv2 custom sbf thread.
Before playing with ROM flashing, confirm you have correct network mode:
Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Network Mode. Try choosing Any GSM/UMTS network and wait a couple of minutes. You may also try to choose Automatic.
I use it for gsm in the US and find that it sees the network better if I set it to automatic.

Yes, I set the network settings to both GSM and automatic. Both cannot detect the GSM network.
It looks like there are no other options, so I will look into flashing the baseband again.

have you checked that block roaming options aren't checked? happened to me a couple times. when you switch to GSM/UMTS mode, roaming block (block calls, data and sms) options activate by default.
Roaming guards are unchecked. Still can't get a gsm signal.
Thanks.

If you are (still) using Sprint, you need to call their international team to enable international roaming/usage (even if you are not using Sprint SIM).
This happened to me when I went to Germany. I had to call them from there (via VOIP) and I was able to use Simyo prepaid.

Hi Axelfox,
Were your questions answered and are you able to get on a GSM network yet? You can PM me if you like, I am currently in VN and using MobiFone SIM card with their unlimited 3G for $3/mo. Which SIM are you using?
Try this, go to the Google Play market and download an APN manager such as:
Offline SIM APN Database
Tweakker APN Internet MMS
APN Manager Pro
-GP
Thanks to all. I was not able to call Sprint to activate international roaming, but that is good to know. It was my understanding that it was internationally unlocked out of the box and I could just pop in the sim.

Hi,
is there any way to put a different ROM on an AT&T Lumia 920.
I intend to use it overseas but I need the Internet Sharing option enabled (wifi hotspot) and as far as I know AT&T and Rogers has it blocked by default.
Any help on this?
Thanks

But does it enable it to any carrier?
Because I have read that this app has predefined APNs for some selected carriers, and I'm planning to use it on carriers that may not be listed on it.
Actually, it uses the APN's from the SIM and it works really good.

Are you asking if a ROM flash will unlock your phone so that you can use a different carrier's SIM? You'd need to do that first. Then you can use Access Point.
Are you saying that the access point app enables tethering on AT&T without a tethering plan???
If so, I suppose anyone can sideload this app and start tethering on AT&T without flashing new ROMs?
Where is Access Point App

I can't either, its region/ROM specific in the Nokia store apparently. You would need to sideload if anything or else flash a different ROM to get the app.
Can we sideload apps on WP8?
I didn't know this app was not available for all regions.

Hmm, does anyone know if you select AT&T 3G, does that then disable LTE? Is there any benefit to have one of those AP's selected over the others?

I suspect this:
When a carrier has LTE aside from GSM it has to have two different APNs since there are different core networks.
That's why you have to have at least 2 APN configured, one for LTE ( the data will go thru LTE data core) and when the phone is out of LTE coverage, in 3G/2G GSM it uses the other APN configured for GSM data.
you can confirm this by just leaving only one APN configured and try to use data on LTE and 3G HSPA, only one should work depending on which APN you configured.

I see, so what you are saying is if I select 3G, it should automatically switch to one of the LTE ones. But if I select 3G and delete the other two, it will only work on 3G?
I would test that theory, but my device will not let me delete or modify the built in APNs (guessing it's an ATT restriction).
Thanks!

Once installed, it will be on Settings. As far as I know, you need an unlocked device to make internet sharing works. (I could be wrong)
APN wise, it should automatically detect the settings of your carrier from the SIM. I never really messed with it as much. I was just curious about the app hehe.
If you guys need more help, go to wpcentral's forums and search for access point. There are tons of threads about it.
well guys, I'm onboard. I just ordered my unlocked AT&T lumia 920 and as soon as it arrives I will install this app.
Thanks everyone for their sharing.
Installed the app and I'm still not able to enable Internet Sharing. In Access Point there are two LTE options and one 3G. For both LTE options attempting to enable LTE gives the message about going to the AT&T website.
With the 3G option it simply saying "Internet sharing isn't currently available".
Same to me
I'm in Japan so only 3G will work here, I intend to have 2x 3G sims in the phone, one local sim and one sim I will only switch to as I will be roaming it for SMS for one time passwords etc.,
so sim1/sim2 on/off is fine. (I don't want to keep ejecting sims and loosing one.)
I noticed a lot of these dual sim phones are only 3G in slot1 but not slot2
i.e. "Samsung Grand Duos GT-I9082". HTC/Sony/LG dual sim phones.
I know "Samsung Core Duos GT-I8260" can select 3G in slot 1/2
So how about the "Samsung Wins/Grand Quattro GT- I8552"? If owners could let me know thanks.
The Samsung website/manuals don't really have much info on this.
Thanks.
yes you can use 3g on both slots but you cannot choose both 3g at the same time. only one at a time.

I'm in the same boat. I was able to get 4G working but not 3G so everytime i lose 4G i lose data no 3G..
Could never get Hands Free Activation to Work.
From what i've gathered is that you need to get the phone back to its original state last previous activation sprint with Original sim in the phone.
They say it's not good to reset phone ##786# or ##72786# as it changes the files to a non activated phone ?
( So i rooted the phone installed a custom recovery did a full backup. wiped and formated pretty much everything rebooted in download mode )
( I have the original sim that use to be activated on this phone. I fired up odin and flashed the original tar that matches my rom OC5. )
( After booting up and going through the setup handsfree still don't work and now lost 4G and Talk and text. )
Is your phone booting up with sprint 4g logo. Or do you see just the samsung logo then your phone is most likely not provisioned to any carrier
I tried everything i even flashed it manually in DFS. Called boost took longer to figure out how to connect to them through there 2 hour menu. That ending up being a waist of time.
What i think might work is a good working carrier folder that was activated but has not been reset .
Could anyone provide a carrier folder located in the root of the phone. This might fix the problem not sure
Any Help would be great ... Thanks
That is exactly what my problem has been and I've tried everything I got calls and texts working but no data. I know carrier is messed up because it shows either Samsung or chameleon instead of boost or sprint. I have odined back to complete stock and still no data... any help please fellas

I was in the same boat as you. After a little trial and error, these apn settings worked for me.
FYI... It still won't pass the Hands Free Activation, but you'll have data working!

I was able to get my 3G Data back and 4G . I copied over the GS4 Carrier files and added this apn.
The note 3 carrier files did not work for me ... but the GS4 files did.
As for hands free activate i just froze it in titanium.
I didnt even bother trying the HFA everything is working fine ( Leave it alone if it's not broke )

The gs4 one changed my network from unknown to sprint again which is a good thing but lte or 3g or the hands free isn't popping up now to register the data......A step in the right direction though
changed

I'm assuming the reason why he did that on an s3 sprint or boost phone is because they are cdma only phones and he was able update your profile 2 setting . I thought changing the esn on a note 3 will break cert file. I could be wrong.
I'm thinking what he did was used your note 3 esn on the s3 and OTA your info to that phone then he was able grab your profiles and then store them in the note 3 using cdma/DFS ..
I was only able to get my 3g and 4g working going through apns attached to the sim card. my data profile on the phone is wrong it still shows the last person's profile. so when ever i pull the sim card my data will not work.
It should still work in 3g without sim ..
I have an s3 boost phone I'm going to try this tonight.
Do you have a sim card in your phone?.
Yea sim card is in..and you know sometimes my 3g doesn't work..but lte works great but i m not always getting lte. But my network says boost mobile
Can I use the APN settings posted in here ? It would boot up with the boost mobile logo but I'm messing with it and lost it now boots up with sprint logo.. thanks for the info

Yea u can use the apns here .. I setup 2 apns under ##data# one using the Bearer eHARPD and the other LTE .
as for boost mobile boot logo . There's 2 things you can do. Install GT App apk ( Not sure if this is still around? Search ) in the app make sure mps_code , sales_code are set to BST or change it from SPR to BST.
or you can go in the root of the phone system/media and rename the BST_ files should be 3 files to SPR_ .
