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?

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

Hi,
Apologies for this question, but i cant get 3G sign in my mobile, while other Nokia n73 can get it. I updated my radio to v1.43, and still no [3G] sign...
In some areas i get [G] which means GPRS signal, and in other areas i got [E] which i don't know what does it mean... Any ideas??
Thx in advance
E = Edge...
Thanks Madcap... But as far as i know that Edge (EGPRS) is an extended version of GPRS whilst 3G is based on WCDMA.
My question now is why my Nokia n73 Reading always 3G, and my HTC is not reading it??? Is there is something wrong in HTC? or i must do some settings for that one?
Thx

Hello,
You say that your Nokia can receive a 3G signal and the Hermes cannot - are they both using SIM cards from the same provider and if not then do both providers supply a 3G signal where you are trying to use the Hermes?
If you should be able to receive a 3G signal on your current provider then I'd suggest you try the following:
1. Check the settings of the Hermes Phone. Try looking at the band selection setings by going to Settings - [Personal] Phone - Band Tab then checking that the Network type is set to Auto. The screenshot below shows the screen that I mean. If this is set to GSM then change it to Auto and see if that fixes the problem. If not then try...
2. Force use of 3G. Even with Auto selected your Hermes handset may be using 2G because that signal is much stronger than the 3G signal. You can force the handset to try 3G only by using a 3rd party application such as Bandswitch (an excellent product by Daniel Herrero - see his posts here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286844&highlight=bandswitch). You can download Bandswitch here: http://commmgrpro.com/_wsn/page2.html. Try using this application to set the handset to 3G and see if that works.
If you should have a 3G signal but none of this helps then it seems you have a problem that may need warranty attention. Is the handset new?
Hope this helps
Hello Tony,
Thank you for your reply. I tried what you advised. Still Cant Capture the 3G signal...
Also, i tried an application called "fieldtest_157.exe". It is described somewhere in this group. I can't find any signal (zero values) for anything related to WCDMA, UMTS, and 3G
This is weird.. I just went into settings>phone .. and there is no BAND tab.. wtf?

Hi Mike,
Have added this reg tweak. It added WCDMA & a couple of protocols in the band section of phone settings. Non of them is working... Is it possible that my radio has a problem? I'm using GPRS very well, and i have excellent GSM connections... What could be the problem?
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.
I have the UK Razr, at first i was able to use 3G then after 3 days i can only get EDGE.
I hard reset and still i cant get 3G.
Ideas?
I saw in the widget named Mobile date toggle, try to add it and turn it on?
Also check in Setting -> Wireless & network settings -> Mobile networks -> Select network and select 3G.

When i do a network search I only get the 2G networks. If i select 3G the signal drops.
It seems i cant enable UMTS. I m always on EDGE / 2g network.
If I use the sim in another mobile it connects normally to 3G/UMTS.
Any help how to enable it on the RAZR?
It was working 2 days ago and suddenly it stopped.
Any idea how to switch between radio bands? from the phone info i can only see USA band and nothing about Europe or other bands?
This is causing my disabled 3G, I cant connect to any 3G network (voice and data).
Help is needed please
Fix the problem? Same thing happens to me yesterday. All the same. I would appreciate help.
Sorry for my English, I am using the google translator from Spanish.
Same problem here. Anyone find a fix?
Yesterday I wrote email to Motorola, I have asked several questions ... but still have not given me solution.
I returned the device to the store after trying everything. I even changed the GSM/SIM operator and the problem wasn't solved, i can only use EDGE/2G, whenever i switch to 3G the signal dies.

No luck yet with what you suggested, but I'm trying different combos of APNs and messing with the testing menu to see if I can get UMTS.

I've fixed my particular issue. I did an upgrade to the iPhone 4S (US AT&T), and am selling the iPhone to pay for my xt910. Apparently, when they did the upgrade, they inadvertently removed my data plan. They fixed the issue and I'm now getting full UMTS on wap.cingular.
Hopefully that will help some of you other guys having the issue. I thought it was the phone itself, but it turned out to be my plan.
Hi, I have a xperia mini pro(sk17a) and my problem is that the 3G don't work in my cell phone, I was reading ont the internet and maybe my cell phone doesn't support 850Mz band(I am from Peru and 3G works in 850mz).
Is there any solution? or maybe there is any way(software) that my cell phone can work with 850MZ
Settings - wireless and networks - mobile networks and check if there is 3G chosen. If yes and phone doesn't use it, then maybe no 3g in your area.

The question is, if topic starter means internet connection or 3G signal.
Which phone do you have, Sk17i or Sk17a? Both are Xperia Mini Pro, but have different 3G bands. You can check it in Settings - About phone and there is model number.
the problem is that when I activate the enable data in my cell phone(to use the mobile network to connect to internet) I only see the letter "E" that means 2G(Edge) and never appear "3G" or "H"(HSPA), and I Know that the problem is in my cell phone , because I have other cell phone that can connect to 3G without any problem but my xperia mini pro "SK17a" cannot.
for this reason I think that the problem is my cell phone don't support 850 band
I know some samsung galaxy phone have the same probleme ,don't support 850 band , and they can change their modems to make the the cell phone could support 850 band. but I don't find a modem for the sk17a with android 2.3.4.
features of my cell phone
-xperia mini pro sk17a
-network mode wcdma(preferred)/GSM
-android 2.3.4
-baseband version 8X55A-AAABQOAZM-203028D-58
-compilation number 4.0.2.A.0.58
-type: AAD-3880104-BV

mine is sk17i
Sk17a supports 3G 850 MHz band, so it has to be another problem.
Settings-Wireless and Networks-Mobile Networks - Mobile operators
Can it find your operator's 3G network? If yes, try to manually register it, just click on it. If not, then your phone cannot find it. My LWW doesn't always connect to 3G, if it isnt strong enough.
I have same problem(sk17a). My other device working 3G.
What the defference between "3G" and "E"DGE?
Just speed only?
Did you find a solution?

Hi, did you find a solution? I have exactly the same situation and I don't know what to do. I really appreciate if you could help me!
I know this is a old thread just wanted to post this link if the problem isn't solved yet,

Flashing sk17i baseband might solve your problem
You might need to fix your APN settings, which are located at Settings- More- Mobile networks- Access Point Names. Google your carrier and APN (for example, "ATT APN"). I came up with a couple of different configurations which I saved in separate APN names and played with them until I figured out what worked best for me. Hope that helps you out.

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.
