samsung galaxy s i9000 - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
I am hoping someone can help. I have a samsung Galaxy S i9000 running Gingerbread.
Firmware Version: 2.3.6
Baseband version: I9000XXJW4
My problem is the wcdma/hsdpa has completely stopped working. However if I force the phone to switch to gsm only, I can get edge. I have confirmed its not a network related problem. This happened totally out of the blue .. one moment it was working, next time I left home (went off wifi) I noticed that it was not working. Has anyone else experienced problems like this ? If so, how did you resolve it ?
Thanks in Advance,
Steed.

No 3G on Samsung Galaxy S2 Vodafone India

Dear all,
I recently got a Samsung Galaxy S2 from Swedish 3 Network.
Obviously the phone is bind to the carrier and I rooted the device and unlocked the SIM and bam! I got the phone working.
I wanted to test 3G Services from Vodafone and before I jumped on to that part something in between caught my attention..
Frimware update with Gingerbread 2.3.4.
Initially when I got the phone it was on PDA:XWKF4 PHONE: NEKF2 CSC: HTSKF1 with Gingerbread 2.3.3 with lengthy 3 Network boot loader.
The firmware that interested me is PDA:XWKI4 PHONE:XXKI1 CSC:Multi with Gingerbread 2.3.4. I flashed and the phone and it is back into sound operating mode without any hassles.
Now I decided to jump on to 3G testing part. I called Vodafone Care and they advised me to send an SMS to 144 mentioning ACT 3G which I did. I got a confirmation saying that 3G is active.
However, here comes the problem part. Whenever I turn Data Network mode all I see is "E" with up and down arrows. And when I go to Phone Settings -> About Phone -> Status -> Network Type it says Edge.
Am I missing anything here? To add ambiguity I didn't test 3G with the previous version of firmware. One thing I'm sure about is 3G worked on this phone before on 3 Network.
Any inputs greatly appreciated..
Regards,
A.

Well..
My problem resolved..
I flashed my SGS2 with below firmware combination:
PDA:ZSKI3 (Hong Kong)
PHONE:XXKI3 (Hong Kong)
CSC:INU(India Localization)
And now I have H+/3G whenever I turn on Data Network Mode.
At last.. I'm at peace.. Device fully functional..

Hello Arun,
I too am having issues connecting to the 3G network of Vodafone in India. My SGS2 is from AT&T and I was able to root it & unlock it and its works fine with the call and other stuff. I flashed the UnNmaed v1.0.4 ROM and its been pretty stable.
I looked up at the CSC code on my phone by dialing in *#272*<your IMEI># and its shows as ATT. Can you please enlighten me on how to change the CSC to INU like yours so that I can access the 3G network here.
Thanks
Hey,
I'm running an SG 2 I bought in Mumbai about 6 months ago with the following stock firmware -
PDA: KE8
Phone: KE2
CSC: INU
Gingerbread 2.3.3
I activated 3G on Vodafone a few days ago and they insist its active from their end. Been thru the manual settings routine and restarted the phone a dozen times, but it refuses to latch onto 3G. Data works, but only EDGE, like you've mentioned in your original post (the E with the 2 arrows).
Any suggestions how I can get on to 3G? This is frustrating, and I'm positively a noob as far as rooting/flashing ROMS etc goes.
Thanks!
Hi all,
First time poster, long time follower!!
I'm hoping someone can help me here because i have a real headache with my galaxy s2.
When i got it at Christmas everything was perfect. But two weeks later i suddenly lost my 3g. Phone works fine on 2g (except for the slow speed), but i contacted my carrier 3Ireland and they said everything is fine on their end. My APN is perfect, i've tried toggling airplane mode, entering codes, data package checks. You name it and i've tried it.
When i force my phone to select 3g it looses all signal and i have to restart my phone and quickly go back into settings to choose 2g or i will loose signal again.
This is the following on my phone.
Android version 2.3.5
Baseband version I9100XXKI4
Kernel Version [email protected] #2
Build number GINGERBREAD.XWKI8
I've being reading about modem/radios lately, is that just the baseband? Could that be my problem. I'm a noob at this kinda thing.I just want my 3g to come back.
All help is greatly appreciated. Look forward to hearing from you all.
Thanks.

Poor cellular reception with P6800

Hello all,
I got my P6800 in Malaysia and flashed to ICS with one of the official firmwares from the thread. I think its the HK one since it has chinese IME built in. I'm currently in UK and have a SIM under the mobile network 3. The reception I'm getting is really poor and unstable, and keeps on dropping while displaying messages like 'No service' all over the place. I never inserted a Malaysian SIM into the tablet before.
Some info under my device settings:
Model Number: GT-P6800
Android Version: 4.0.4
Baseband version: P6800XXLPW
Kernel version: 3.0.15-P6800ZSLP7-CL910862
Is it a hardware fault or can it be fixed at my end? My Tab pretty much lost half its functions if I can't make any calls or text.
Thanks in advance.
Any help? I'm still having very poor reception. This is driving me up the wall
Dude I think u need to flash another modem for best reception.maybe i can try australia rom modem think is lp7.try it and see how it's goes
Sent from my GT-P6800 using XDA Premium HD app
Thanks for the sugggestion. So I need to flash to a different firmware from the offical thread? Woulnt the Uk one be more appropriate for me
i don't know much about modems, but this problem isn't really happening for honeycomb and ics devices, unlike gingerbread and froyo.
i have a Hong Kong tab and gsm works really well in Algeria (totally different operators and hardware)
do you have some special hardened case? it may cover the reception antenna?
otherwise you can try another rom and see if correct the problem.
best regards
Sifou
Galaxy Tab 7.7
Its happening even without a case. I will flash to a new ROM when I have the time. I really hope it isn't something hardware related, its gonna be troublesome trying to get it replaced.
in this case, i wish you good luck somebody
just make sure you follow the instructions. don't tick or untick anything by your own.
best regards

Samsung J330F (mesh) WiFi issue

Hi all,
I have a strange problem with a brand new Samsung J3 2017. It runs on Android 7.0 and everything seems work just fine, except the Wi-Fi. Problem is basically that i suddenly get the message " internet may not be available" but it seems to just work even tho i get this error.
I get this error about 4 x a day and i really do have to switch WiFi OFF and ON again to get internet. I have tested 2 Samsung J330F phones behind severial routers. My other Samsung phone (s7) doesnt have this problem behind the same routers
Does someone maybe has a tip for me ?
I could maybe flash the phone with a stock android version but then i would lose warranty.
I did tested a factory reset twice
