[Q] Android 2.2 3G is unstable - General Questions and Answers

Hi every one,
I'm trying to setup the APN of my provider (Orange in Tunisia) I have an HTC magic with official 2.2 froyo (non rooted) the customer service made a setup on the phone so they did this :
NAME : weborange
APN : weborange
thats all, all other settings was blank, the 3G icon choed up for an hour and then gone forver, the only way for me to get internet back is to force use 2G only setting. I'm unable tu get 3G back ... is this my phone or the network ? (on my Iphone with the same simcard the 3G works well). I dont have any freinds in tunisia that have Android with this provider to copy his setting :/
any idea ?
thanks a lot

OpenEclair 1.1.4 3g connection issues

Hey guys!
I installed OpenEclair-v1.1.4 firmware 2.1 on my HTC Magic on sunday.
Works fine except the camera doesnt function properly - just a black and white checkered grid and I cannot seem to get a 3g connection, or even a 2g connection to the data service with vodafone.
Is there a setting I need to change somewhere or do something to get my network access back?
Please help!
in the about phone seciton it does say Model Number : T-Mobile myTouch3G which of course is not what i actually own,,,,.
Thanks

3uk Android on Kaiser Problems

Hi
I'm running android on my Kaiser, from Nand and I'm on 3-UK
The problem I'm having is that the 3g signal where I live is really bad - so bad I have to disable it in windows mobile or all I get is constant flicking between 2g GPRS and 3g
I have tried the setting on the android through the settings - wireless - mobile networks but the 2g only won't stay checked.
I have tried the *#*#INFO#*#* menu setting and it always reverts back to WCDMA preferred.
Both of these can only be changed when the phone finally locks on to a signal.
Now 2g will always show as roaming, I think because 3-uk's 2g is on Orange, in windows it still shows as 3 but on android I get the following:
2G: Orange PCS Ltd
3G: [email protected]
My phone is originally an orange kaiser but has been unlocked and hard spl'd
Really frustratingly if I run Android via Haret from Windows mobile (where I've forced it 2G) it runs fine.
Can anyone here on 3g help ?
Anyone help ?

[Q] Network problems with I9000 bought in Singapore, using in Canada

Hi everyone,
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 (16gb) in Singapore and was using it fine on Singtel's network (signed a contract with them). Now I have moved back to Canada and brought my phone with me assuming that all would be ok to use it with the network here. However I'm having big problems with this one network I just signed up with (Virgin Mobile).
85% of the time I cannot connect to it: voice calls and SMSing won't work nor will the data work on it, the only thing it says is "Emergency calls only". Then at other times everything will seem to connect and work fine - I can make calls and use data.
Virgin Mobile will not support me much because they're thinking it's the phone's problem, if I use the phone they gave me (a lower-end model) it works fine.
Here are some details of my phone:
Firmware version
2 2
Baseband version
I9000DXJPA
Kernel version
2 6 32 9
root (at) SE-S604 #1
Build number
FROYO DXJPA
If I check out the status, it usually says this:
Network
Unknown (switches to VIRGIN when it does work)
Mobile network type
UMTS (switches between that and HSDPA and GPRS)
Service state
Out of service
Mobile network state
Disconnected (switches to connected when working, and even when it's not working sometimes)
I have Network mode set to auto mode (GSM/WCDMA). I've tried to switch it to GSM only but that didn't seem to change anything.
I'm wondering if there's some kind of configuration settings I still need to do with the phone? I'm also wondering if it is the network I'm with right now? Virgin Mobile isn't one of the bigger telcom companies here and I'm thinking that if I switch to one of the bigger telcoms, will it work better?
Something else to add - before I signed up with Virgin I was using my phone with a pre-paid service (called Chatr) for voice only and it was working fine.
I'm sure this phone can support the GSM frequencies here.. can't it?
I also still have the Singtel customizations on the phone. Will it help if I remove it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks a lot!

[Q] Problem with 3G connection after roaming in 2.3.3

Hi there.
I've a problem with my O1.
I've updated it to Gingerbread V20C stock and have a problem with the mobile internet connection.
My mobile operator is H3G italy. When there is no signal under H3G network it swap to another operator for roaming and the 3G connection drop. No problem till there, 'cos i disabled data roaming.
But when the H3G connection come back, it does not connect to internet. I've checked several times for apn parameters and they are ok, and it isn't a network problem for sure.
Any hint?
Sorry for my poor english, i hope you can understand my question as well...
3G problem with GingerLOL 1.5 (Vietnam)
Hi all,
I'm come from Vietnam. I met problem with 3G connection after install GingerLOL 1.5 ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118685).
Everything seems Ok except 3G connection.
Is there any one met the same problem ? If you knew solution for it, pls share it with me.
Thank you very much,
Hi all,
I am sorry, I have just found out the solution.
We should change APN setting, it can't detect it automatic.
In Vietnam, pls refer : tinhte.vn/thay-doi-nang-cap-firmware-280/p500-huong-dan-flash-rom-2-3-3-official-cua-lg-romania-root-753413
Other countries should take Mobile provider factor of your countries.
Thank you,
It's not a apn settings problem. My apn settings are ok and 3g connection work till the telephone lost h3g network and switch to other operator. When it come back to h3g i have the voice services but no 3g connection at all.
1) If you are not in roaming then turn off roaming, if you are in roaming then turn in on see it is working or not.
2) Just select on 2G from setting and check EDGE is working for you or not. If both the the things have same problem then talk to your ISP and confirm another phone has the same problem or you are only one who is facing this problem.
3) Some times your carrier change their APN without any notice so check they have same APN or not.
I'm sure it's not a network problem because other phones or the same phone with Froyo works with no problem at all.
With 2.3 i have 3g connection until i'm in a point where the default operator (H3G italy) have no signal so the telephone switch to the roaming operator. There the internet connection drop (i've disabled data connection while in roaming), but it's ok.
If the telephone switch again to the default operator i have no problem at all with voice services, but the 3G network connection don't come back until i reboot my O1. Other people have the same problem with the same device and the same version of android (lg stock rom) and the same operator (the only one that use roaming in italy).
I've had problems with my 3G connection too. Didn't go out of the country or anything, just turned on and turned off the 3G connection (data). Had to reboot every time it happens.
This seems a known bug with Gingerbread on P500 and h3g italy... Hope they fix soon....
Hi, I have same problem with data connection lost after return from national roaming in Slovakia (oprator O2). I have LG Optimus One with official gingerbread upgrade. Do you have some news about this problem? Thanks
