I posted this in the CoreDroid thread, but no one has given any illumination. I also searched and didn't see anything pertinent. SO, here it is for general consumption:
I didn't see a solution to this issue so, maybe someone can say they've had it too, and maybe help me fix it.
Whenever I enable hotspot, it switches my phone to 3G and it won't switch back to HSPA+ unless I cycle airplane mode to reconnect to the network. Any ideas?

Thanks for your help. Also, I did confirm in network settings. Usually the network type is HPDSA, but if I use the hotspot it will be UTMS until I cycle airplane to get a fresh network connection.

Generally my sensation has a decent reception. Most of the times i`m able to get a decent 3G/HSDPA signal without any problems.
The problem is, that I live outside the city and at home my (3G) reception sucks. My Sensation seems to suffer from this poor reception a lot more then my previous Desire-Z.
The 2G connection is fine. When the phone switches to 3G however, I only get one bar and the connection frequently drops so that I have no service at all. When i set the phone to only use 2G, the connection stays stable and since I have wifi, having only GPRS at home is no problem.
I don`t want to leave my phone on 2G only because when i`m not home, the 3G connection is usually fine. I was wondering if there is a way to manually change the 2g/3g switching treshold so the phone will only switch when it has a decent 3G signal. I tried to set GSM Auto (PRL) at the #*#4636#*#* menu, but this doesn`t do the trick.
Thanks
You might have already found an answer to your question, but in case you haven't, you might wanna check out WMLongLife.
It has the ability to automatically disable 3G when you have access to a WiFi network.
Hope this helps
I would be quite interested to see the trick how you are running such a deep system tweak application from Windows Mobile on a Android phone ...
Best regards,

But there is a possibility with Tasker

I used tasker to achieve this, when it notices my wifi ssid, it switches off 3g. The down side is that wifi needs to be on ask the time. You could also use "show and switch 2g/3g" from the market, with this APp you can switch with one button or use a schedule.
Guy from reply #2, this is an Android forum not winmo. Winmo it's dead.
Hi there!
I've some problems with my G-Nexus 5, as wroten in title,
the Wi-Fi and the 3g connection disconnects me during utilizing it,
if i look on the icons of wi-fi or 3g i can see that i'm not receiving any data and i cant continue to surf in web or by enjoying a game online.
So the question is its a hardware or a software problem, and if another one had the same problem.
So noone had this issue?
Sounds like hardware if this happens both to 3G and WIFI.
How do you fix it? Toggle Wifi? Airplane mode? Restart phone?
After a bit it begins to surf something like 5-10 seconds
I get the same problem on my 3G, it doesn't happen while I'm on WiFi. I have to disable/enable data or airplane mode on/off to get this working again. Also I have noticed that when signal changes from 3G to EDGE and then back to 3G I don't have data working. Need to to the same trick to have that back. It's annoying and you don't know when it working or not unless you check your phone....and lose notification from Facebook Messenger or Whatsapp which i use a lot.
I wrote to google lets see what do they say....
I got realy bored about thia issue.
I would verify that your apn settings are correct. Either call your carrier or maybe google your ("carrier name" apn settings). Also... Settings/Wireless & networks/More/Mobile networks/Preferred network type, is correct. I do know that in my case as far as wifi I get better results (quicker to connect) if the "Advanced " settings for "WiFi frequency band" is set to 2.4 GHz only. Default is Auto. Worth a shot.

Tried does'nt work, i loos the connection anyway
Hi guys,
I normally am not a big responder or thread creator here.. Just a happy Photon Q user … but now I am looking for your help!
I own a Photon Q modded by CornholioGSM. Worked like a charm untill I got on a plane last week. (From Netherlands to Italy)..
When boarding I set the phone to flight mode.
Got off the plane and switched it back on, turned off flight mode. No longer acquiring connectivity to mobile network.
So.. went into Android testing (*#*#4636#*#*), turned Radio Off and set it to GSM Auto. Turned Radio back on.. still nothing.
Went into settings.. Mobile Networks > Network Mode was suddenly changed into “Global” and could not change it into anything else.
Factory Reset the device, again set it to GSM Auto and Network Mode was now changeable.
Set it to all kinds of different settings but it still won’t connect to a mobile network.
Everything else on the phone works fine except mobile networks. So no GSM, EDGE, 3G etc. WiFi does work.
The SIM card is also detected and eg. Whatsapp works fine too.
Does anyone know how to solve this?
Do I have to reconfigure the device or perhaps try a different ROM?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Grazie,
Steve McQueen

Thnx for your reply RBeavers!
I did consult the SIM MOD thread.. My issue is a bit different though.. My Q has no network connectivity anymore.. at all.
It doesn't drop sometimes and then reboot to fix.
Btw: Its running stock ROM. Might be worth to mention that
Hope someone can help!
Hmmm just installed CM 10.2 .. Set the band to 800/900/1800/1900 .. Set Phone testing to GSM Auto.
Mobile Networks to connectivity to GSM/WCDMA Preferred.
Still outta luck.
Can't think of anything else other than a wire has come loose.

Also, getting radio log (as soon as possible after boot) could help to diagnose the issue:
Code:
adb logcat -b radio
Happy days!!
Got it working with CM10.2!! Fiddling around with it. Set band to Automatic, *#*#4636#*#* GSM Auto, Settings > Mobile Settings > Preferred Network Mode: GSM Only
And set Use Only 2G checkbox. Magic.
These settings in the stock ROM wouldn't work anymore.
Thread can be closed. Thnx everyone for reading and replying!
Hi. Is anybody else having issues with the 3G icon being displayed, despite having no data connection? I get this on occasion, and my only solution has been to cycle airplane mode and hope it connects to the 4G network. My best guess is that my connection is poor, and 3G is just an indicator that it's connecting, not actually connected. I'm on stock, S-off, root and TWRP recovery. Any help would be appreciated, or anyone else having this issue so I know whether or not I'm alone.
Hello All,
I am trying to connect to my work network with no luck! Prior to the one plus one I had a Nexus 5 that connected with no issues. This is what happens:
1. Choose connect (password is saved)
2.The text under the SSID goes from "connecting" back to "saved" in less than a second. The signal bars show 3 then drop to 1.
I've tried forgetting the network, flashing different ROM, kernel, modem with no luck.
Turned off "Avoid poor network connections" and "Wi-Fi optimization:
With the Wifi analyzer app the connection is steady around -60 to -50 dBm. If I try to connect using the wifi analyzer app it just stays on "Authenticating". I know the password is correct, I've re-entered it multiple times.
The wifi network is using the 2.5 ghz band, channel 1, and WPA authentication.
I haven't tried connecting with a static IP, however I might try this next.
Any ideas, this is driving me nuts! Plus all the iPhones around me get to brag!
Thanks in advanced.
I'm having the same problem, and it also seems to stumble connecting to data networks. I have been toggling airplane mode on/off and it then finds the wifi and data networks. This is annoying as hell, when it should auto find and lock any network it has remembered and passwords are correct.
Does anybody have a fix, or is there a radio that can be flashed to correct this?

I'd love to hear any resolutions to this issue as well... I posted this in the oneplus forums recently:
"I am having this problem too with my mom and dad's OPO . But what's funny is that it doesn't happen to my OPO. This sort of rules out any WiFi/router/network issues. Is it possible that certain installed apps on their phones may render the wifi to be unstable (e.g. permission settings for these apps?) Any help from the community is appreciated, thanks... this is an annoying problem for them as it drains out their LTE data!"
