I live in an area where my 3G signal strength is often 1 bar or below and is weak but my non 3G signal strength is 4 bars and strong.
Is there an app that I can use to set up when 3G cuts out and reverts to normal GSM signal.. I know I can set 3G to auto switch but it only cuts in when it feels like and often this means my phone is limbo with no 3G signal and no auto option to switch over to GSM and will often just drop my signal mid call at home.. or am I asking too much.. cheers..
When your 3G signal becomes weak it should automatically switch to GSM. If switching between the two is causing your phone to drop calls you can lock your phone to GSM only by changing it via the Comm Manager, tap on "change phone settings" and then "Band" on the bottom.
ok. cheers..

Hi,
My connection is HSDPA(the letter H is shown).
I was trying to access the internet while making a voice call. Sometimes it works, but most of the time the icon changes to G or E and go to suspended!!!
After the voice call ends, it goes back to H!!!
Is anyone having this issue?
That happens to me a lot when I'm in an area with almost no 3G signal. I get the 3G and H with one or two signal bars until a call comes in and it shows E and shows 3 or 4 signal bars. Haven't had these issues inside a major metro area with strong 3G signal.
I live in an area where I get a 3G signal but it is very weak and telephone calls break up and sometimes drop out. If I manually disable the 3G then the phone reverts to 2G at full signal. It looks like the phone prefers a weaker signal 3G over a stronger 2G.
Is there an application that will allow me to quickly switch between the bands without having to traverse all the menus? Such as a simple button on the today screen to switch between the two bands?
Then all I need to do is press to turn off 3G whilst at home and then press again to turn it back on when I am elsewhere and the signal is good.
Cheers,
Tom
I don't know if you run a custom Image.
But in my 3Lite3 I have the comm manager. And with settings->advanced config I can edit the comm manager's short cuts.
I have from top down: flight mode > phone on/off > bluetooth > wifi > and 3G mode on/off
Hi All,
How do I make it so that my phone will not try and connect to the internet via 3G (the signal icon on the status bar has 3G written on it). Whenever my phone switches to 3G, internet doesnt work. this has been a problem for me here in Aus on multiple phones. While the icon says H, internet works awesome but the second it switches to 3G internet stops working until it switches back to H. It wouldnt be too bad, if it wasnt for the fact that the bloody thing switches back and forth every 5 seconds if Im in a good reception area, which is almost all the time.
Are you rooted/custom ROM? It sounds like it could be a poorly performing radio. Search for the radio/ril thread. You might find some answers there. You can switch your phone to 2G or 3G networks only, but the 3G option also includes H. So even if you left out the 2G you'd still suffer the same issues.
Hi!
This one is for simmodded users.
I ask for a way to set the threshold for toggling between uts and prs connections.
Often I experience the following: having uts with fair signal strength (3-4 bars) then, without leaving the same spot outside the q drops the 3g connection and starts a gprs connection (signal strength full).
If I force the uts connection I mostly get the weaker 3g connection reastablished. Problem with this settings: in areas where I won't have no 3g connection I have to manually switch back to auto setting.
So is there a way to modify the time of automatic connection switch, so I may have longer weak 3g connection before I drop to gprs?
The 4 answers!

I don't know such an app, only the manual way.
Theoretically you could use SmartActions to start an app change to 3G on good locations and change to 2G on bad locations.
However, I don't know such an app for this.
Maybe someone know a better solution.
Hi
My office has bad signal and as a result my signal drops out quite often. When I put it on 2g the signal is a lot more stable. The issue is that I have to manually change it which is annoying. Is it possible to adjust the threshold that the phone drops to 2g when there is one bar instead of there is no signal at all?
I have an app called widgetsoid and I use the data widget to change to 2g manually when I have wifi as calls are much clearer on 2g.
I change it to 4g only when I need data.
