I have a new Treo 750 and have problems with coverage at work. I am on Cingular and also have a W810i (Quad Band) phone which works fine. The problem is that the phones are set to look for and give preference to the HSDPA/3G networks and overlook the GSM/GPRS 850 band. Is there a registry tweak or a way that I can override the network settings and manually switch between 3G and GSM/GPRS.
Cingular shows to have excellent 3G coverage on their maps but it is not the case. I have spoken with their customer support and they are not inclined to do much about it so a work around seems my best option.
Always RTFM before posting because it is clearly explained in it.

Great post guys! I've looking for this solution for months! I feld like a dummie! Thak you!
I have a Rogers Treo 750 and don't have that option. The only things listed under services are:
call barring, caller id, call forwarding, call waiting, and fixed dialing.
Any suggestions?

Here's what it is.
If you try dialing those service USSD, or USSID, don't know what it is called, you cannot press a key for reply.
Try dialing something like *xxx#, then a notification comes asking to dial either 1 for Option 1 or 2 for Option 2, and there's no possible way as to press the key.
It is not actually calling, but something you dial like when you want to check your credits.
Here's what a nokia phone gives. Its written 'Message', but its not SMS but got only by dialing as said above.

Is there any work-around or something which I can do?
It's not a bug, but yeah this is not currently possible with Windows Phone 7.
Just because of this I have to switch sim card in phone, hate alot MS cant provide this basic age old feature.
Windows mobile didn't had this prob.
Since MS, perhaps doesn't know this, is there any way to inform them or can we expect an update for this? Or is this so unused thing that nobody needs it anymore.
It will come in next updates. or you can visit official wp site and submit request feature
first , this is just happen these 3 days. before it never happened,
my phone is go to deep sleep , which is good, but after i check the record , during the deep sleep , the siginal drop from 4 or 5 to 0 !!!!!!!!!.

please take a look the mobile network signals.!!!!!!!!
i never change the radio, so i think it is not the radio problem. anyone analysis is it becasue roms? or most possible due to the kernel ?? or may be apps?
i use nexus 5.04
thanks .
I had the same issue after changing carrier and at home. I solved it by using a RAT unlocked rogers modem and picking up a specific band, in my case wcdma 850.
I happened mostly after waking up but my guess is it was just showing it when waking up, my gf always complained she had to call 3 times before it will get to me and not to voice mail.
So you can't get a call while the phone is sleeping?
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda premium
As I said i fixed it by setting up a specific band and letting the phone decide which band.
I could get calls while it was sleeping but the reception was spiking so sometimes it would just go to voice mail.
Hello,
I've a strange issue since I updated my SIM card to support 4G months ago, I've issue with 2G network the signal is very bad, I can here the caller but they can't hear me and I want to force 3G network only which is not supported in the chinese version and this really is very annoying..
I've searched for that and I found a secrete code that allow setting the preferred network type from hidden project menu but when I enter the code nothing show..
I tried this code which didn't work and the other one show the project menu but without the network type option!

So please I want to rebrand my phone from the chinese version H60-L12 to the international version H60-L04, but I've read that there is hardware difference between both variants and I just want to confirm if it is ok to rebrand the phone..
Edit: I forgot to mention that when I insert the SIM card in the second slot which support 2G only there is no issue and the signal perception is very good even inside my house and away from the windows!
I have a Samsung S8 Active and I'm getting incredible upload speeds but average download.
I'm on the largest and fastest mobile carrier here in Australia, anyone got any ideas what might be causing this? Always thought DL should be the same or faster than UL?

Weird thing is you can see the download speed spikes quite high, then it just plummets.
On a similar issue in a different location I had my mate who is on the same network carrier sit next to me at a shop. We both ran a speedtest, he has a Google Pixel 2 (on specs the phones are almost identical, mine should be slightly faster). His hit 100Mbps+ for download while mine only hit 52Mbps.

So just to bump I've discovered that Carrier Aggregation is enabled on the Samsung G892A but it never connects it is always showing in the Service menu as CA: Not-Config so it is enabled but not connected even though the local carrier allows CA/VoLTE/VoWifi.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get these working?
I cannot connect to the Internet in the UK with this device. I have got to Sim card, both of which work in an iPhone for data. One has been set up with APN settings as guided by that network. The other not.
With Talkmobile and APN settings there is a circle with a bar where I believe I should see network connection at the top right of the galaxy screen. The main Galaxy dashboard shows 5G but I don’t believe this. Also if I go to software update within settings on the Galaxy it says that no network is available.

Only when the status bar shows the 5G logo, the device can access the Internet. Maybe you should first confirm whether your region supports n77, n78, n41, n28 these 5g frequency bands.
thank you. band 78 is good thanks. got it to work after a while, i just need to wait quite a long while for the status bar to update and show 5g
