Hi guys
Just got my S2 from USA and while using a 3g sim the data connection does not activate HSDPA (the H icon does not come out). On my Xperia Arc this comes with no problem.
Anything I am missing?
Am using my S2 outside USA.
Appreciate your help.
What does the phone display by the signal bar?
Alot may depend on the carrier you're using. Make sure the phone supports all the bands that the carrier uses.

Sounds like an APN issue. Copy the APN settings from your working device to your S2.
One of these links may be of help.

There is no icon on the bar. I have set up correctly the APN setting. Funny thing is that I can get connected on HSDPA on my other SE Xperia Arc and I get the H icon on this one.
The network option cannot be opened too.
I also tried the code *#301279# to change the HPA setting but to no avail.
Whats wrong?
Sound like you should talk to your carrier and see what they have to say.
In the meantime search online for known apn's for your carrier in your area.

Hi again.
As far as I understand my carrier does not deliver the band that my S2 requires to get connected on HSDPA mode.
Was wondering if rooting can be a solution? Am not really an expert but know the basics.
Any recpmendations/advise?
Thanks!

If it doesn't support the bands, it won't work.

Is there somewhere to see what the different signal icons look like? I used to get the little H on my Captivate (rooted and ROMd), but all I see on the S2 is the little green/red up/down arrows. I'm literally 100 feet from the cell tower and get blazing network speeds, but never see any H in the taskbar icon. Would be nice to see a reference of what the icons look like.

I think that if you decompile the framework-res.apk it contains the images, might be systemui, not completely sure

I was hoping for an easier way since "decompiling" is beyond my skill set.

You don't exactly have to "decompile," only extract using apk manager. Easy as pie instructions my signature (image replacement). Decompiling is for code editing. Extracting the apk gives you access to its images.
Hi Guys
Just to make it clear, my 3g does not connect data connection. Am still stuck with my S2 with no data connection while all other things work fine. What to do?
Need your HELP!
Thks
Did you check to make sure packet data is enabled in the Settings? I thought we already determined that your phone won't work on the bands available? Did you contact the network provider as you were told to do?
SOLVED!
Here is the case
My friend Sami just ticked the roaming case and voila the H+ icon poped up.
My understanding is that AT&T(with its factory OS) had blocked the network and by ticking roaming the s2 understand that by roaming you get the data connection. This might be another case.
Would be great if you guys can enlighten this situation.
Thks
phone setup:
i9100
android ver 4.0.3
baseband i9100mugld3
cf rooted
This may sound like a crazy question but there are 2 locations i'm at a lot that have 0 to 1 bars of 3g and an edge tower right on top of them. Anyway for some reason the phone almost always wants to grab onto the 3g and it is a horrible connection for both voice and data. I have wireless there so i really don't care about data but dropping calls sucks. Is there an app, solution, workaround to forcing the phone onto the cel tower i want to use instead of letting it decide to do the wrong thing?
thanks
Have you tried just turning off mobile data in settings?

Settings > Wireless & Network > More > Mobile Network > Network mode > select GSM only and it will only use the gprs connection. If you dont want to use the GPRS connection then uncheck the " Use Packet Data Option ".
I've actually tried that while it disables data it doesn't force a switch on the tower. I guess my title & original question isn't quite right.
so now i guess how do i force my phone onto a different tower so i can actually get good service when i need it.
I just use the switchpro widget, since then i can turn on and off a lot of stuff from my homescreen.

Under mobile network settings, change it from auto mode to gsm only. I guess this is what you are looking for

actually i was just about to post the gsm/wcdma/auto to get it to switch over. However it does not always work sadly. I remember on an old moto (forget model) that i could actually choose a network tower, man i wish i could do that now

It perfectly works for me. If i set gsm only, it stays on edge and if i set wcdma only, it stays on H+ for me.
sorry should have been more specific again. it will go to edge but will often decide to pick a tower far away instead of a close one
Anyone know how to toggle 3g now? I would like to use it as default and only enable LTE when needed because the battery drain is crazy for LTE. However, as we all known, the dropdown 3g toggle is not there. I see an access point menu but whenever I select EHRPD the phone remains on 4G. Is there a way to get the EHRPD selection to "stick" or is there another way to solve this?

depends on what your running, and what provider you have. Most cases can be fixed with a LTE toggle app from the market. This doesn't work with Verizon on stock rom (last time I checked). However, I have Verizon with Note II running liquidsmooth android 4.2.2, and for me it's as simple as setting CDMA/EVDO under settings > wireless & networks > More... > mobile networks > network mode

Okay. I am using Jelly'Beans' rom for Verizon's Note II. But the toggle for CDMA is removed in there. So should I ask for it in that thread?

I am using the same rom, and would love to have this functionality as 3G works better at my work than 4G.

Found the old phone info app online and that took care of the issue. The new phone info app on the market does not have the capability to set network modes.

I recently got an LGOG and flashed Cyanogenmod 10.2 onto it. The WiFi wasn't working so I flashed the JB radio to it and everything worked fine. After leaving my house I realize that mobile networks were not working. I switched my access point from "ATT LTE" to "ATT" and then it worked fine. Now for all I know, 4G could be working just fine. However there is no 4g LTE symbol in the notification bar like there is on every other phone I have seen.
Should I try another radio? Should I try another access point?
Thanks.

Most AOSP-based ROMs don't show LTE in the status bar. When you see "4G", that's AT&Ts LTE. When you see "H+", that's 4G. "H" is 3G, etc.

Alright, well I browsed for a while, downloaded an app, and ran speedtest but all I ever saw was just "H". I am assuming that it is the access point I am using.
There is another access point called "ATT LTE" in my phone by default, but when I use that the 5 bars just stays grey and never turns blue. I can post the settings if you would like.

Make sure you have lte on in network mode, then search networks and after it searches select register automatically. Also sometimes bars stay grey if not connected to Google even though you have data service, try opening play store and see if they change.

The network mode I am using is "LTE/WCDMA". After searching for networks it says "Error while searching for networks" and when I press the choose automatically button nothing happens. Applications are still saying no network connection.

Works fine for 3G. But then when I switch to the ATT LTE APN mobile data no longer works.

Alright I'll ask there later. Thanks.
I am using CarbonRom and I can't get the network mode to stay on LTE. It keeps changing back to WCDMA only. Does anyone know what is causing this?

I've been using this app for about 2 months now without any problems, up until about 2 weeks ago. Now if I'm in default LTE mode, my laptop and tablet can connect to the hotspot, but I can't open a webpage in Firefox on either device, it just times out. I've verified that Firefox on my phone can access them. Also, I can open a cmd prompt on the laptop and get successful pings on google.com, but it still times out on the laptop or tablet.
If I reboot the phone to be on CDMA/EVDO then everything works fine, just slower. I'm on Sprint. I sent an email to the developer, and he stated he didn't think it was a problem in the app itself but advised me to check the APN settings. I can't seem to locate them on this phone.
Anyone else having this problem, or have any suggestions?
Thanks.

Didn't change anything. Re-reading my original post, I realize I wasn't clear on a point:
I can ping google.com and get replies from a command prompt on my laptop when I'm attached to the wifi router and the phone is in LTE mode, but my web browser (firefox) will not display the google home page. If I select CDMA mode on the phone, then I can get to google from firefox.
Since I'm getting ping replies, I doubt DNS is the culprit. Seems like it's something with port 80. I'm starting to think Sprint did something to block the app on the LTE network.
Just to check, I reset my phone to factory default and re-installed the app. Same results.
Anyone else having problems with this while on LTE?
Thanks.

I contacted the developer Fabio, and he thinks I need to change some settings in the APN IPV4 protocol. Problem is, I can't seem to find where to change the settings on this phone. They should be in settings>connections>more networks>mobile networks, but the options are not on that screen. I'm really starting to regret getting this phone. I love the phone itself, but Sprint did a few things to "dumb down" the ROM that just plain piss me off. OK, I get they took out native tethering so they could sell that option. I don't like it, but at least it makes some kind of sense. They also took out the option in contacts to send a incoming call from a given contact straight to voicemail. That just makes no sense whatsoever. Also, I don't like there are no custom ROMs for this phone. If I could get this phone with a plain vanilla Android without all the Sprint mods, I'd be in heaven.
Anyway, does ANYONE have Wifi Tethering working on this phone (LPH-600) with Sprint and LTE?

Try APN Backup Restore, do a backup, gab the XML and open it with notepad or text wranger or any text editor to see if you find the setting that needs to be changed.
