You can go to: start>settings>connections>connection manager, and there you can turn 3G off/on. I use it all the time, because until at&t fixes the tower near where I live, the 3G signal is screwed up, I get a 3G lock, but nothing works...no phone, internet. Turn off 3G, and everything works. Only happens at home. Go a few blocks and 3G works fine.

I get lost @t connection [email protected]@ger here is @ pic [email protected]

[email protected] different [email protected]?

Yeah, sorry about that
I'm running wm 6.5, not 6.1
If you are running the standard fuze "touch flo", slide it until you see the cog
wheel/gear, and look for connection manager, same thing...look for 3g where you can turn it off/on.
I'm doing that one from memory, I haven't used touch flo in a long time.

*sigh* I dont see it, I know just @bout where everything is on phone but I dont see it [email protected] for your help though

try downloading schap's advanced config, there are settings to configure what shows up in your communications manager
also, just out of curiosity, is your a key broken?

SMS wont be sent until restart

Hello.
I have a problem with a Touch HD2. Sometimes, when I send a message, it doesn't get sent until I restart / reboot the phone. When I do, all the messages gets sent at the same time.
I had the same problem with a Touch HD some months ago.
Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks for help.

hmm, interesting one, what is your device currently set to for sending messages, i.e. GSM, GPRS?
Have you recently updated rom, radio or changed ril?
Have you tried running automatic setup again?
Can you provide more info please
Yeah, could be a radio problem or your phone not logging onto local masts.
Try a manual roam,.... Go to your network selection, search for available networks, then pick a network you are not on, ideally a network that uses a diff network frequency band thing. So if your nwtwork uses 900 research one that uses 1800 or vice verser. When you select this 'wrong' network it sould give you some kind of error and you should lose all network coverage. Then re select your correct network.
Try power cycling,... Turn off your phone, remove SIM & Battery, hold power button for 5 - 10 seconds. Then put everything back in and turn on.
Last one,... Go onto internet on handset, load a page you have never been on before that has alot of data on it, amazon or something, while its trying to load the page pull the battery out. Then power cycle as above.
I worked for Vodafone Cust services about 8 yrs ago,.... those 3 things usually sorted network issues.

I have exactly the same problem on my HD2.
It's very occasional, and just a soft reset is necessary and everything's fine again.
I don't know why this happens.
Thanks

[Q] Wifi-calling stuck 'ON' when losing wifi connection

When wifi and wifi-calling are enabled, it disconnects from the tmo network.. Great.. no problemo. I don't want it connected to the tmo network at the same time.
But.. when I lose the wifi.. i.e. service is interrupted, I leave the area, etc., then wifi-calling is stuck "ON" and I cannot return to the tmo network because the app is trying to find the wi-fi connection. This causes all voice/data to be dead.
I have tried killing the wifi-calling app via ATK, it won't shut down. I tried to FC it, no go. I tried to reboot the phone.. no go. I tried to kill it via Watchdog.. no go.
So basically, if I forget to shut off the app b4 I leave my wifi area, I'm screwed and dead in the water. Or, if the wifi connection is lost (i.e. service interruption), I'm screwed.
The only way wifi-calling will display the on/off button is when it has a wifi connection.. I know, I know.. I must force myself to remember to shut the stupid app off before leaving the local network.. but I forget at times.
I have only found 1 work around, and I'm hoping someone else can chime in on this. I'd like to see if there is an easier way around this.. It can be fixed via freezing the app. Then the tmo network kicks in. As soon as the app is unfrozen, it goes back to searching out wifi and disabling all voice/data.. until I get a wifi connection.
Thoughts?
can someone test this to see if they get the same results?
Mine switches as it should when I leave a wifi area.

Seriously? You have wifi calling and wifi enabled. You shut off wifi and it automatically switches off wifi calling?
that's messed up. If I do that, I'm w/o service. Guess I'll reinstall the app..

Thanks!!! I have discussed this on the forums a bunch of times in misc. conversations and no one has said "Hey, that's not the case for mine." I thought it was a glitch with the app.
R&R'd the app.. good to go. Thanks so much.. It's been like this since I took it out of the box.

[Q] is my wifi broken ?

hi everyone
just got a Desire S this morning From Orange UK, but not sure if the Wifi is working correctly.
phone works fine as does 3G for downloading, however when i turn wifi on and connect it to the internet it stops 3G working on the phone and wifi doesnt apear to work either. I.e if i turn on wifi and then try and connect to the market place it gives a connection error. Also the same with the game Drag Racing, can race over 3G but if i turn on wifi, can not race over 3G or wifi says no connections.
I've also tried by turning the phone into airplane mode and then turning on wifi to see if that will connect but still can not use any apps that need internet connection.
Is this normal ?

Thanks !
havent noticed any drop in signal, however i am sitting less than 3 feet from the router currently, its set up fine and can see an ip address and signal when i check the phone.
However i did try a software update check and it worked over wifi no problem at all.
I am wondering if Orange have set the phone so that it will only work on 3G for most applications as it comes with there "signal boost" app that sends phone calls over wifi.
I have had a similar problem with a Nokia N97 mini from them untill i debranded and re-flashed the phone.
Any recomendations to re-flash the phone ?

Signal boost app could you tell me more, im on virgin and have nearly zero mobile signal when in the house so maybe that might work for me,all i can suggest is turn off your mobile data in settings so it will only force connect to wifi, if wont allow its nasty orange forcing you as you said
and has for re-flashing its not as esay as the deire days iaf, you need to read up on here about locked boot-loaders, s-off etc,htc have had us over for now.
regards

its an app built in by orange that allows calls to be made over wifi if you dont have phone signal. looked in the market place and its not available to download on its own, on the orange website they call it Signal Boost (UMA), its more a gimick than anything.
turning off the mobile data side of things was the first thing i did hence why i thought wifi was broken. damn you orange !!

[Q] LTE won't connect to Google services, but WiFi will

Today I realized that my LTE signal was orange in quick settings on cm11. Also, Google apps weren't working, play, hangouts, and even Instagram! However, if I connect to my WiFi the signal goes white and all apps work against. This problem usually happens on WiFi and a router reboot fixes it, but this time LTE is giving the problems. I am really stumped here. The problem came out of nowhere and I tried reinserting the Sim, flashing a new version of cm, and nandroiding an old working backup. This is pretty urgent sinse most apps are basically useless now when I'm not home. Also, 3g connects fine, just LTE doesn't. Once 3g connects to Google and turns white, switching to LTE keeps it white and apps will work. I'm all out of ideas here, someone please help

I'm in the same boat. Except I wasn't on CM11. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2748991

LTE works, just most apps don't load anything, and the signal shows orange in quick settings. You don't seem to have the same problem as me, right?

You're correct, my bad. I can get 3G no problem but cannot even get 4G to show up.

Phone only working with 2g enabled

Hi, everyone!
So, my Nexus 5 only works when I set it to use 2g network.
Explaining it more clearly: when I set 3g, everything starts to go a little crazy. The phone signal gets lost back working, sometimes it doesn't even recognize the sim card
When I try to access network settings and network operators it gets really slow and sometimes the phone crashes and reinitiates.
I've tried setting a new rom and I am running the most recent version of Cataclysm right now. I've tried changing the phone modem driver too (actually I think I have just reinstalled it) and nothing.
Interesting thing is: sometimes when I turn 4g on, the internet signal works, but when I try to make a call, the signal gets lost and it appears a "turn off airplane mode" pop up.
That's it, guys. Thanks in advance for any help you can give to me and I'm sorry for any english mistakes...not my native tongue.
