Hi guys, i am using internet via wifi for quite some time
But i have tried with mobie data connection and i am facing some problems...
When i switch on mobile data connection 'E' connection(edge) symbol appears for like 5 mins ..
After 5 mins E symbol is gone and i am unable to connect to internet.. my signal strength is full
After 2-3 hours again i can see that E symbol for 5 mins and boom its gone again..
Can somebody solve my problem please..
Which rom are you running? For some T-Mobile users like myself the Cm roms have data issues. When I try to run Cm, I get blinking data that NEVER connects. If your not running Cm rom have you tried the application get RIL? It checks to make sure ril is matching radio and if not matching recommends a ril to download.it's really helped my signal. I found I had a weak signal because my radio and ril we're not matching. Once I downloaded the proper ril my signal jumped back up from one bar to five bars! I am assuming you are rooted. If your not you can't use get ril because it's for device with root. If you're not rooted, your options are pretty limited. If not rooted you can call carrier and see if they can help. But if you are rooted, do try "get ril" it can really help. Best wishes to you. Hope this is helpful.

The E symbol stands for EDGE which is 2G.
Have you asked your service provider to enable mobile data connectivity for you?

Yup .. know that its edge... And i have asked my operator to enable ..
Its working but only for like 5 mins....and i even dont know when it works .. it just comes suddenly and goes off boooom
Try this I think it will work for non rooted phones also. Press *#*#4636#*#* then when the menu comes up press phone information. Then scroll down and press on your current signal, another menu will pop up, then press wdcma only, this is 4G. Then scroll down and press refresh. If you have a available 4G signal in your area this will lock on the signal. It will not switch to edge. I often use this method because my device prefers edge and I want 4G. It works wonderfully for me because I have a strong 4G signal in my area. If you don't lock on or have no signal available after this then 4G is not available in your area. But do give this a try, it will lock you on the 4G network and no more switching to Edge. Let me know please how it goes. I think this will solve your problem. Do write down the code because after reboots you will have to do it again. Hope this is helpful! Best wishes!

Some of the Sensation Models do not support 4G.
It is unlikely that 4G is available in OP's region since it is not showing H

Yup you are right... First thing my device supports only 3g and even if it does support 4g it is not avilable in my region
Thanks for the replies..please post if there is any alternative..
Note - my device connects to edge connection but only 5- 10 mins even though full signal of 5 bars is avilable

You can try putting in Data Enabled card of a friend of yours and see if this is a phone issue or a provider issue.
Also check if your provider provides 3G in the area.

So I decided to Root, S-Off and flash Coredroid v4.7 on my Inspire, but I leave it with the stock radio (12.39.60.19P_26.06.04.06_M), but the signal seems pretty weak even on places where my Nexus one was at full strength my Inspire seems to only be able to grab 2 bars at much, and the WiFI connection seems week too, on my N1 I used to be able to get full signal from more than 20 meters, but my Inspire seems to lose it after 15 meters.
I read some posts and other blogs/forums and some attribute those issues to the radio version, so I hope someone can give me an opinion and tell me if I should Update the radio and to which version if so.
Thanks in advance.
Try this
For phone signal, try *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer. This will bring up a screen that has 5 options, I went to phone and scroll to the bottom. Under the preferred network I changed it to GSM only as its an AT&T phone anyway, I was getting 1 or 2 bars at home and was missing calls left and right. after setting this, back out and shut the phone down then restart. I have all 4 bars now. It would also eat the battery, mine was on WCDMA preferred and I think it was searching for that signal constantly. There is a screen for wifi also but there is nothing adjustable there.

Odd that it would have WCDMA preferred as default. I just adjusted this as well and it improved the signal in my office. Good catch.
Gsm only does not work for me, my lame carrier runs on gsm but their mobile internet runs on their 3g so I need to connect to both. Setting it to wcdma/gsm auto seems to have improved the signal

Hey all, I'm on AT&T running radio 26.06.04.06_M. Any specific recommendations? GSM/CDMA Auto (PRL) seems to give me the best service based on bars, but that doesn't necessarily mean much (I'm on an HSDPA connection with 3/4 fluctuating right now).
Also, I think I might not have HSUPA enabled with this radio, I'm only getting .56Mbps upload and around a 2.79 download (Whereas on standard 3G with my old iPhone I typically pulled around a 1.2). HSDPA is without a doubt enabled and it shows that I'm connected on that network, but is there a better radio I should try out?

This is starting to bug me..... for no reason the 4g connection and even when I turn off the mobile network, wait a few minutes and turn it back on, it still wont work until I reboot the phone. Sometimes rebooting it doesn't work and I have to pull the battery.
Anyone know whats causing this? When this is happening I see the ^ arrow on the 4g connection lit up like a christmas tree but nothing is uploading and theres no data connection....... HELP!
Mine dropped Last night for the first time. When I first got the phone it flip from 3g to 4g at my job. Last night finally went dead. I rebooted and still no network. Then I used the new LTE switch to keep it @3g only. It worked.

You also go to your dialer and type in *#*#4636#*#* to get to the menu.
same issue here Philadelphia sub
when i bought the phone, it is very easy to get 4G in my home and work
and recently, I only can get 3G in home and 1x in work.
and it is not stable, very easy to drop.
Yea sometimes 4g just hangs and it wont step down to 3g...... forcing me to reboot or hard reset .....

Hey Stoneskin,
I live in Hawaii and I have the very same issue as well. I picked up 4g easily in the "so called" extended 4g coverage region when I first got the TB. Then about the middle of last week, poof, no more 4g except for in the true 4g areas. My thought is because so many people were having 4g connectivity issues in these extended area, VZW simply stopped allowing it as a troubleshooting measure that apparently is still going on. I brought this up to VZW tech support and they were clueless as usual. I also posted in the VZW Community Forum hoping to get an answer, but none thus far.
you could try dialing ##778# and pressing send, select edit mode, password is 000000 and then under modem settings change it to rev A. then press the menu button to save and reboot. it has helped me out in the El paso area. friend showed it to me the other day Far as i can tell is that it disables the new network that allows voice and data at the same time since that's the only difference i have noticed other than not loosing my connection anymore. I just a heads up this does not work on the latest version of virus rom RC1B3 sensless but did with previous version and several other roms i had tried

Thanks for the tip, but it didn't work. VZW must have changed something to where extended coverage area no longer get 4g. Only those in true 4g areas. I really think this has a lot to do with the folks experiencing the constant drop 4g issues. They must have rationalized that if the extended area for 4g is not up to par and forcing 3g would be better. Only way I can explain it. From consistent 4g to only 3g. I sure miss the speeds.
Hi there,
I'm using Revolution HD 3.6.1 with its radio and relative RIL (which becomes with the rom by default). Obviously I have S-OFFed and rooted.
I'm experiencing some hiccups in 3G data connections. I don't know if it's due to the carrier (Wind Italia) or something in the phone (maybe the radio doesn't support it at all?). I'm in Europe, precisely in Italy.
Maybe should use an european version of radio? Or what?
In detail:
I activate data connection. The phone shows 3G before, and quickly goes in H (HDSPA). Then I use many apps that needs internet connection. Within a short time it goes again in 3G and i have absolutely NO data connections. After a delay of 5-10 sec it goes again in HDSPA and everything works. When it goes again in 3G i have no data, then again H and data working.
What's the problem?
EDIT: Problem solved! See in this post.
P.s.: Sorry for my bad english
I was going to ask about something similar to this, so rather than start a thread I will post it here. I too am running the 3.6.1 with its radio, S-OFF, & rooted.
What I am seeing on boot up is the standard progressive upgrades of data networks (just bars, then 2G, then 3G, finally H). The H only stays for a few seconds then drops to 3G and basically stays like that. However, as soon as I open an internet requiring application, it jumps to show H and typically stays that way as long as a data connection is active. My Speed Test results show its 4G speeds (same as stock ROM and radio) when its showing the H, so obviously its working, I'm just wondering if its intentional that the display only shows 3G? Or maybe its set so the ROM "relaxes" on 3G, but switches to 4G when data is actually being sent/received?
~T.J.
Maybe you used to have a 'background' app updating constantly.
The G, 3G and H usually depends on the signal in your area, the H is usually for high data transfer. If you're not using the internet,downloading anything or updating anything on your phone, then why would you need it on all the time?
3g is usually the norm, so I wouldn't worry!
For my issue, my stock ROM showed me what was available in the areas as I moved around, including showing 4G all the time if I was in a coverage area (which pretty much everywhere around me is). If I moved out of the 4G area for instance, it would drop to show me 3G.
This one just shows 3G all the time, even when I'm in areas I KNOW are 4G; UNTIL I use the data connection, then it switches and shows the H. I know its silly, but I liked actually gauging my providers service by being able to see what kinds of connections were available in various areas.
The fact I have to actually open the browser or run a speed test to see if 4G (H in this case) is available in that area is a little odd to me, why doesn't it just show the connection that's available?
~T.J.
Guys, I found a solution to my problem, googling around. That's awesome.
FYI I'll post here:
1. dial *#*#4636#*#*
2. Go to phone information
3. Toggle ciphering so it's off
4. Turn off radio
5. Turn on radio
6. Toggle ciphering back on
It seems to be working to me. An half hour without hiccups till now.
I have had this problem ever since my hd2 two years ago. I thought it was normal. I'm about to try the fix. If it fixes it you are a life saver.

Aww man same thing. Maybe its supposed to be like this.
Basically for me its for example on the xda app when ill refresh something it will always say processing as soon as the 3g symbol turns to h with both arrows on simutaneously.
Maybe that's how its supposed to be idk.

Only a brief temp fix? Are you sure?
I'm not having the same problem as before, now. I hope it remains still as it is.
I have been having this problem with both of my Nexus S 4G ever since I got them 2 months ago.
My data drops out frequently and takes a while to get back up. If I have 4G enabled, then I have to manually reconnect it as it will not do it on it's own. This happens inside AND outside. Driving down the road or just standing in one spot.
I've tried all of the radios (basebands) and about 7 different ROMs and versions.
I've refreshed the data profile, PRL, and even tried the roaming Verizon PRL and Hybrid PRL.
Gone back to stock and tried everything from scratch. Still the same problem.
Dallas/Fort Worth Area
Network: Sprint
Baseband: D720SPRKE1
PRL Version: P:40447
I contacted Sprint and they just told me to update the profile & PRL.....
Any suggestions?
I'm not familiar with the CDMA nexus s, but are you able to change APN's? At one point I'd be able to connect to 3g (I have an I9020A), but every minute or so it would drop, so I fixed up the APN's for my carrier.
iv had a few data issues
forcing PRL and account updates has fixed it a couple of times
i'v bought used phones that iv had
to have sprint force update
im on LC1
[altho i cant tell any significant difference here]
and my prl is 61086
[a business account]
im currently on slim
make sure your mobile network
is set to roam
is not set to home only
Am I the only one with this problem? As I'm typing this I lost data but still had 3 bars. I never drop calls but only data.
Help please. This is driving me nuts.

i go thru periods of it acting bizarre
try disabling wifi and reboot
this USUALLY fixes mine till wifi is re-enabled
and i drop the sprint connection a few times
riding around
it then fails to re-acquire the IP address.
look in your status and see if you still have an IP
when your data fails
fwiw
I never use Wi-Fi. Ever.
Happens while using both 3G and 4G.

4G is worthless here...
i dont even bother with the switch
does it do the same thing if you disable 4G?
I almost always have to use 4G (if possible) since 3G speeds are slower than dial-up.
I've tried rebooting and leaving 4G off, and still the same. Even tried going back to Gingerbread.

I have the same problems. From what I understand, its a problem with the hardware. I can confirm that's probably the case, because I've tried many different ROMs (stock, cm, etc...) and they all have the same radio issues (3g/4g and wifi)...
I have an NS4G in the DFW area and haven't seen the issues you're reporting. I'm currently on 4.0.4 with D720SPRLC1 baseband. Maybe I'm just lucky and have a good signal at work and home. It's very rare that I find an area of DFW where I don't get any data signal at all. Not sure what to suggest.
I get random drops too and i hate it. My 3g speeds are fairly good even above 1 mbps. Highest i ever got on 3g was 1.51 mbps
Mine will lose data if I'm in a coverage free area for an extended period of time, when I'm back in range 3g icon will show up just never reconnect. A reboot fixes it
Certain Areas
There are certain areas where I live that data just disappears. Although this is just a network thing I believe. It's weird though when I am driving it's like a 10 second drop and then all is good. Hope you get a solid fix!:victory:
Backup 4g Partition
REMOVED - was a bad idea.
I've actually replaced BOTH of the phones with brand new NS4Gs and they shipped with ICS.
Still the same problem.
This is driving me nuts. I was driving and trying to download Maps for the new phone from the Play Store and it took 6 tries. Kept saying RETRY.
What I've come to believe is happening is:
When 4G connects, 3G disconnects. When 4G drops (which is does frequently), 3G has to reconnect.
***Is there a way to keep 3G "on" in the background while 4G is connected?*** Maybe a way for the radio to transition back and forth?
This is probably the most noob-sih question asked on these forums, i don't know if it is or not though, anyways,
I have a HTC Sensation 4G and when i flash any Rom on it and gt it all set up it displays it it connected to '3G' or 'H'
Is there a way to restore 4G or is it really on 4G but the rom displays it as 3G/H?

Technicly nothing is 'really' 4G yet. It's just a marketing gimmick.
Depending on what rom/theme you are using you can get a mod to make the H turn into 4G. Looking in the Themes and Apps section adn search for '4g icon' or something similar. It will give you whta you want. I don't think the mod works with all roms though so read the thread you find it in carefully.
H is the closest we get to 4g.but if the icon is bothering you perhaps you can change it in your rom settings depending on the rom you're running. However H is hsdpa which is the closest to 4g that your going to get! Even the 4g icon is not really 4g. It's usually hsdpa. It's in reality 3.5g. But most people know H icon is as close to 4g as it gets so h icon is good. But if rom allowed it you can change to 4g icon.

Hi all. I live in the Caribbean and got the HTC sensation 4g. I upgraded my mobile package from edge to 4g however I still see 2g. I tried my sim card in another phone and got H+ which I should be seeing on my phone. The phone is running 4.0 is with sense 3.6. The mobile settings is set to gsm/wcdma auto. Any ideas??
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda app-developers app
You can try to change your data settings to wdcma only. If the signal is available in your area this should give you the 4 G icon. It's worth a try. Here's how it's done. Press *#*#4636#*#* then when the menu comes up press phone information, then another screen will come up, press on your
signal, a sub menu will come up, then press wdcma only, then scroll down and press refresh. This should give you the 4G, or H. Which is also 4G. However this must be done every time you reboot device so remember the code. Also, this will only work if 4G is available in your area. I use this method because I keep going to Edge, even through 4G, is available in my area. It works like a charm for me. Now I received my 4G instead if slow edge! Hope this helps! Let me know. Best wishes.
