I have same phone, can't make it connect to 3g. It just connect me to EDGE.
What country are you?
I'm in Mexico, and the 3 serv. providers uses 3g on the 850/1900 bands. I've tried the obious , correct sim slot, correct apn config., entered to engineering mode and tried forcing it use the 850 band, but havent had luck with it, no 3g connection.
I've been desperate because i depend alot of data service.
Can you share your experience.
Thanks.

HI,
I just got a samsung I780 and flashed the i780MSHC3 rom, today i got a att pda plan. However, I can't use i780 to connect att's 3g network, always in gsm/gprs....... (using in LA, 3G definitely covered)
Is there anybody having the same problem, or could somebody give me some advice (already called att, but not worked out)
also,
Gyngabread Man could you help me to change my plan to the $30 PDA connect with isp support?
Thank you
Please help...
my date plan is PDA PERSONAL CV TE
I screwed up...
please help
how to make i780 tri-band 3g????
Anybody helps????
whether there is a way make i780 works on att's 3g?
Thanks....................
What phone rom are you using ?
If is an old one, try with the italian one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=384619&highlight=i780+radio
my phone radio rom is:
XIHA7 the Italy rom...
I just wonder whether i780 is capitiable for att's 3g network, if now whether there is a "solution"?
is there anybody else using i780 in U.S. on ATT 3g network?
Thanks.....
The phone does not have 850/1900, only 2100. How do you plan on using AT&T's 3G network without 1900?
Changing the ROM will not give your phone the ability to now utilize AT&T's 3G network.
The weird thing is it won't even connect edge..........
but when insert t-mobile(us)'s card... it at least connected to edge....
and when i "roaming", i can connect to edge network, but with att, without roam, can only connect to gprs........
dats so sucks...
Just whether why some rom will make the i780 has tri-band 3g function

Sorry to revive an old thread...I can't connect to AT&T's 3G either (I live in Chicago). The band selection on my phone, though, is
1)900/1800
2)1900
3)WCDMA (phone doesn't connect to anything with this selected)
4)Automatic
PDA ROM is DXHE1
Phone ROM is PUHE1
Am I an idiot for buying this phone (I would need 850 instead of 900 on this bad boy?) or am I just not using the right settings?
same problems here...
Unless I'm mistaken it's a hardware issue, no amount of ram flashing will get past the the fact that your phone will not broadcast on the right band...
Hi,
i got a verizon thunderbolt and want to use it in germany with gsm/umts network.
Its showing all the time, "this sim card is not recognized" (emergency call only).
is there anyway to get gsm / umts radio on it?
Please help.
thanks.
Good luck with a phone that won't work correctly over there. The SIM slot IS NOT for GSM network use. It is for LTE, you CANNOT use it on a regular GSM network.
What g00s3y said. You can only use your ThunderBolt sim with other ThunderBolts or other LTE phones that will come out.
Sorry
I got a Tmobile sensation and I m using in Peru, for some reason the network line is in EDGE, or 2g it is the way we can change, the sim card work in 4g in another phone, some body can help me.
check your network settings and see if your running tmobile. maybe att?
Isnot working
Still under 2g, I read I need do something to activate the 850 HSPA in the cellphone.
hello,
i hope i put this in the correct forum area.
i have t-mobile as a carrier. i bought two new samsung galaxy ace phones. ace plus and an ace 2. both are the latin models, not the euro models, and have the 850/1900 3g freq, but when i use my tmobile sim, both phones are running on EDGE speed and not 3g. anybody know why and how to get them to run on the 3g, tmobile was a waste of time asking them, no help
thanks
U should enable it in settings>mobile networks. U can either put it on 3G, 2G, OR automatic (for the network to chose which is best)

you would think so, but in that area the only options are
network mode....
gsm/wcdma ( auto mode) which is selected
gsm only
wcdma only
and "network operator" , which i search, tmobile comes up and is selected
still on edge speed, i do not see anywhere to select 2g or 3g
any ideas???

The 4G signal that the networks worldwide use are not the same, GSM 4G is not the same as CDMA 4G, also, some 4G devices in the past were not true 4G, they used Wimax which is not actual 4G. My point is, the 4G your network uses is probably a different signal type or its bands do not match the bands the device supports. Research the exact signal type and frequency bands that Verizon supports, then research what signal type and bands that your network supports.
Many times I've seen 4G CDMA devices used on other networks and 4G could never be made to work, they were stuck with 3G because the device did not support the 4G type their network uses.
Most devices on other networks but still have 4G can count themselves lucky.
Thanks for your reply,
I flashed this rom (CM13) ; http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...m-cyanogenmod-13-0-nightlies-verizon-t3269675

You "think", no, don't assume anything, even if your provider uses 4G LTE, if the bands/frequencies of your network are not supported by the device's hardware then it isn't going to work. As I said the first time, you need to do the research to see what bands and frequencies Verizon uses and then do the research to see what bands/frequencies your service provider uses. I mean find the actual values of Verizon's bands/frequencies and the actual values of your networks bands/frequencies, you need to compare them to see if the use the same bands/frequencies, not just whether its 4G or LTE or not. Do you understand what I'm saying?
Also, their may be radio/modem incompatibilities, the radio modem is part of the stock firmware that remains on the device, ROMs are just the system partition and not the whole operating system, software that is under the ROM is still the software the device came with or had before you flashed a custom ROM.
