When I do the *#*#4636#*#* it says my GPRS isn't active. My signal is really bad and didn't know it it would help if it was switched on. But how do I switch it on?

Did you flash a new ROM at any time?

When you say signal, did you mean for normal phone use or data ?

I flashed to a new Rom which someone gave me on another post. The signal for normal phone use

I was wondering is there anyway to disable the 4g on my inspire and just use 3g? My inspire is rooted with stock Rom

Dial *#*#4636#*#*, go to phone information and you can choose your preffered network type
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
which would be?
4g is 3g on the inspire. There is no separate modem for 4g like the EVO.

Wow that's just stupid but in the manual it shows two separate icons for 4g/3g

GSM only will turn you to E(2g).
If you change the phone to GSM only, restart it. (turn it off and then on) Otherwise it will auto switch back to H in about a minute.

Leaving it off fixed my wifi slowdown issue. Phone also seems to run smoother too. Any https traffic will remain encrypted and any other ssl or other socket connection is still fine. I don't get what the true advantage of this feature is except adding overhead to the phone.

Leaving it on protects you from people who know how to sniff cellular networks.

My wifi still slowed down so I turned it back on. This is my only major issue with this phone.

No you might ever get h which is the samething as 4G.

you can lock on ONE signal by
Pressing *#*#4636#*#* and you will see phone information, go their you will then be able to access another pull down menu by where you see your current network signal, lock on the one you want , then scroll down press refresh and your good to go!

again, it's normal. The OP isn't talking about switching between gsm and wcdma

what do you mean what does that do?
it allows me to lock on one signal so it does not continue switching back and forth. Works for me.....

what did you set it to ?
and for some odd reason i get full bars 2g and 1-2 bars 4g
WCDMA only which gives me H or 4G but its a personal preference. I got tired of my device switching to EDGE, try to surf the web on EDGE, not fun! After I learned how to lock the signal I've been on H ever since! Thanks to a friend showing me this trick! Just thought I'd pass it on to you. Works for me and my complaint was similar to yours. Let me know if it solved your problem please. I honestly think it will. Just trying to help
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
thing is different areas get stronger and weaker signals i
Am not familiar with your area but its worth a try if the switching is a bother.sounds like one signal is stronger just as in my case however switching to wdcma or H I have 5 bars.

ya i see what it does but for some reason signal is just spotty at my house it fluctuates between 1-2 bard then drops to none and repeat.. t mo just must be bad in my area
I'm sorry it didn't work! Seems tmobile is spotty everywhere! They really need to work on that!

Seems like this is a hex that comes with my sensation as once in a while it will drop data and try to reestablish the connection over and over again..
multiple roms except stock do this..
why?
Self Bump..
the issue seems to be with my router.. whenever i use WIFI at home it makes my phone do this.. but anywhere else i use wifi its fine and connects right back to data..
any ideas?
Same problem with me

Well i just had to connect to wifi to sync music for my ride tomorrow.. so.. trying to get it back..
I am desperate for some help. I am visiting the US and have purchased a T-mobile sim while i am here.
Data connects but then drops immediately in a never ending loop.
I've installed the T-mobile US firmware but no luck. My uk Orange sim connects fine and ive tried the US sim in a friends UK Desire HD which also works fine.
I now have no idea what else to try.
Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance to any one that can help.

Have you checked your apn settings to make sure your data is configured correctly with T-Mobile?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
Yes. They're the same as those picked up on the Desire HD I tried it in.
Interestingly, it began working but after switching to wifi and back it stopped again.

Thats interesting i dont know what the Wi-Fi would have anything to do with your mobile connection. Also make sure you check your network selection and make sure its automatic.

Do you have the phone set to wcdma only? You will be stuck on edge I believe since the euro sensation is 1900umts. You may be able to switch to 1700 by flashing the modem partitions (not included in ruu)
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda app-developers app
Yes, net selection is automatic and i've also tried different combinations of data type.
No luck there either.
I'm on open sensation rc1 at the moment. I'm going to try a sense ROM but I'm sure it won't help.
I'll give another radio a try.
Thanks guys.
