First make sure 3g is on, then open your dialer and dial *#*#4636*#*#
From the menu that now pops up, select phone information, then scroll down and under preferred network type, select WCDMA preferred.
That work?

Check you have the correct APN settings active.
Settings > Mobile Networks > APNs >
Google the APN for your provider then compare to what's been loaded on there.

I usually used wifi at home/ company, rarely use 3G, so I used to turn it off by using APNdroid.
Today I needed to search something online so I turned my 3G on by using APNdroid. The 3G icon didn't show up. It didn't work even I switched on the "data roaming" in setting, reboot, switch to airplane mode then switch back.....
Anybody can give me some advice?
I'll second this for the battery savings

With APNDroid in the "on" mode, check your APN settings in Wireless Settings > Moblie Networks > Access Point Names. If there is nothing there, try Menu > Restore Defaults.

Hello All,
Looking for a bit of help. (Aren't we all?!?)
I have recently purchased a HTC Sensation in the UK. Original provider is Orange. I have achieved "S-Off" by following instructions on this site, and shortly after achieved the unlock by using method 2 on this forum. Everything seemed to work fine, except I have just noticed that with other providers SIM cards I no longer have a 3G signal as I do with the original SIM. Is this somethign that can be fixed, or am I stuck with the original provider?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I'd be glad to give all the details of my phone, if anyone has any ideas of a solution. Thanks in advance!

Nice, have you tried selecting the 3g networks from the mobile networks menu?
Nice phone. I think you must select it in the mobile network in the settings.
I had the same thing with my sensation that was locked to Vodafone, you have to go into wireless and network settings > mobile networks > access point names and if you dont have the network that your sim is using show up press menu > new APN and add the values for your network, just do a google search to find out what they are like if it was for orange just search "orange uk apn settings".
Hope this helps.
absolutly correct you need to add the correct APN settings I have had to do the same thing with my sensation

Try to flash a phone if you do not help means that the operator, or reset settings
Do you have the correct APN (Access Point Name) set for your network operator?
Some apps that allow you to turn data on/off rename the APN from for example:
internet to _disabled_internet.
If you use the app to switch it off then uninstall the app, it leaves the APN with the wrong name.
Do you have the these settings as follows:
Settings > Wireless & network settings > Mobile Networks > Data enabled = True
> Use only 2G networks = False
Yes i think that i have the correct apn .

I have an unlocked nexus one for t mobile and k haven't been able to get mom's messages ever since I unlocked it can anyone help me with this problem?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA
You have to have correct mms setting to receive and send those messages. You can get your settings from your carrier.
Settings -> wireless & networks -> mobile networks -> GSM/UMTS Options -> Access point names -> press menu -> New APN
These are the fields I had to set:
Name
APN
MMSC
MMS proxy
MCC
MNC
Authentication type
APN type
I used android 2.2 for this instruction so there may be slight differences.
Had the same problem with optus here in oz, rang them got the mms settings now alls good

Try clearing the data through settings, manage apps.

The APN settings are found under Settings-> Wireless and Networks-> Mobile Network-> Access Point Names, or the equivalent on your phone's ROM. You can edit or create the settings from there.

Hi
I just got an HTC U11 (128 GB/6 GB) and I updated it to the latest Android Oreo Software No: 2.33.401.19 /Stock No Root
And after update I deleted cash and hard reset the device.
My problem is 4G network drop ....... when I go to the basement the network drop from 4G to 3G, and when I go back upstairs or out of my home, where the 4G network coverage is available the phone keep with 3G network .
Nothing change until I change the network mode say for 2G and get it back to 2G/3G/4G Auto then I will get a 4G or 4G + for a while then it will drop again to H and 3G network !!!
Any fix for this issue ?!
Any body face such an issue ?!
Regards,
Update
After trying the code { *#*#4636#*#* } then phone information then Set Preferred Network Type: according to my Mobile service Support I have to select LTE/CDMA/GSM auto but that option is not available in the list instead there is another select menu item LTE/CDMA/UMTS auto, after selecting this there is no way to save it even after restart.
the selected item by default is LTE/UMTS auto (PRL) ...... and there is no way to change it !!!!
any idea guys

The settings is fine
but I believe that it's some power saving thing implemented in the firmware where changing networks take some time longer than other smartphones.
