I've got a little problem whith 3G & HSDPA.
The problem is it won't connect whith 3G speed, just whith GPRS.
HSDPA is enabled, and I didn't edit any registry settings that would affect the connections, and there is 3G area coverage (checked whith other phone).
Oh, and the icon stays on 'G' all the time, no '3G' or 'H'...
Any ideas?
some operators have special 3g and up usims
and only connect to 3g and up with them could that
be the issue or have you tried the sim on those other phones?
htc have at times been criticised for having worse reception then nokia and other phones but never anything but G seems odd
I'm sure you've tried this already, but try another SIM in the TC, and try your SIM in another phone. Just in case it's a SIM problem. I'm assuming you have a 3G SIM card?
I have an USIM, and 3G was working great whith my previous Hermes...
Update: After a Hard Reset HSDPA came back alive and kicking... after the backup has been restored whithout the registry everything seems to be fine...
I'll start editing again... and post the cause if found
Hi Friends
I have Karbonn A9 working on android 2.3.6, It is dual sim mobile with one slot having WCDMA capability and other is only 2G,
When i use one sim in only WCDMA slot it gives 3G speed with symbol 'H' and when i inserted second sim in other slot speed reduce to only 50 kbps to 80 kbps with symbol 'H'.
So the problem is that when i use both card simultaneously it gives only 2G speed , and when i remove second sim it gives 3G speed, i have tried factory reset. Because of this problem currently i am using only one sim in WCDMA slot,other slot keeping empty
Is there any solution ?
same problem with A9+ ics 4.0

Hi Gaurang,
You should try activating divert on second 2G sim, select the no. of 3G sim to divert and keep it deactivated(only possible if you're not a "SMS is my oxygen" type) use the 3G, if someone calls you, you'll get notified by divert icon on the screen, at that time just reactivate SIM for some time make the call and deactivate it again. Also this will help you same battery life.
If u face any challange, feel free to ask
Hi all ,
I am having a problem that is annoying me for a long time now , some friends have fixed this problem in their phones but don't know how , my last hope is XDA ...
I have a mob with dual sims , SIM1 is my default SIM where i do all my calls from and does not have data plan on it , SIM2 has a data plan , the problem that when I activate data plan in SIM2 , anyone calls me on SIM1 gives him that phone ( SIM1 ) is out of coverage area !!!!!! plus that the data plan on SIM2 is extremely slow and takes forever to load a page with connection error at the end .
my phone is Hisense U5 , i know it is not common phone , so I am buying Samsung Grand in very few hours and knew that it has same problem but it can be easily fixed , I dont know how to do that and indeed need a help before buying it .
waiting a reply plse .

Hi, I guess you need to put your data plan in SIM1 slot and your calls and sms in SIM2. SIM1 slot supports 3G while SIM2 slot supports 2G only. Thats the reason why data is so slow.
Just got my Nexus 5 today.
However, in Wireless&networks / Mobile networks / Network Mode, I can only set it as 2G or LTE but not 3G.
I am currently on b-mobile in Japan and my Nexus 4 works fine on the network.
Wondering is it some sort of bug of KitKat or is it somewhat related to the SIM card I am using...

Probably the sim card. Mine gives me the option, but another n5 on a different network (o2/UK) doesn't.

hmm, in my case, I can see the 3G option, just that whenever I select the 3G option, the system would automatically reset it when I navigate to other page.
Is that also the case on your N5 with O2/UK sim card?
On the other hand, I will test my N5 on different sim card tomorrow.
I have the same issue. If I select 4g, the dot stays when I go back, but I only get a full bar 2g connection. If I select 3g and go back, no dot is there but I only get a 2g connection.
Sometimes this was solved in previous handsets by going into the service menu and selecting 3g/2g from there.

I also tried forcing the N5 to use 3G only (by going into the test menu with "*#*#4636#*#*" code) but it still does not work...
OK, so I tried the SIM cards from my colleges, and my N5 can connect to 3G without problem.
It's weird that my SIM card works perfectly well on N4 but NOT N5...
Did not experience such SIM card computability issue before...

Works for me now. Went into that test menu and selected GSM/CDMA auto PRL and I now have 3g. Didn't have to reboot.
3G cannot set for Virgin UK Sim

I am also having the same problem, purchased the Nexus 5 from carphonewarehouse, can set on 4G or 2G, but when i set to 3G and comeback, it resets. Is that a SIM card problem? I tried to go on testing mode and apply GSM/CDMA auto PRL, that also not working. Is that a KitKat bug?
Same problem on Orange/EE in the UK. I can see the 3G option but phone won't let me change to 3G. Option never sticks. Just stays on 2G. Any ideas? Is this a known bug?
Thanks 101

i think it's not a bug.i think it's a hardware problem. i'm having it with vodafone italy.
Same here on T-Mobile Austria :/
Already changed SIM card, without success. Maybe provider related issues?

I'm on straight talk TT&T with a new SIM card, but sometimes the network mode doesn't stick. No idea why...
replaced a new 3G SIM, no luck
Just replaced a new 3G SIM Card didn't work the 3G option for me - Chunghwa Telecom Taiwan.
But I can select 2G, and dial number to make a phone call, so the SIM slot seem works fine, maybe just configuration issue?!
And, also I find a very annoying defect of my Nexus 5 32G(White), when hard-reset or flash to Factory Image, my Nexus 5 32G white goes crazy!! it just keep stuck and loop at Google Logo (not even show the 4 circle animation), and won't boot at all!
And I finally find a way to make it boot, by keep trying repeat flash factory, erasing userdata, erasing cache etc. is every had this issue?
EE/T-Mobile (uk) and I can't select 3g either, well I can but it doesn't stick.
I have a similar problem, except I can only select 3G / 4G, and not 2G because the 2G option isn't even displayed!! So infuriating. It still works through the *#*#4636#*#* menu, if I select GSM only then it does indeed go to 2G.
Is it possible that the SIM is somehow telling the phone OS it can't do 2G only? This didn't happen with my old carrier (same phone, only just switched). I have a feeling it's caused by the same thing that makes my phone number show up as 'unknown' now, too.
I have the same issue, I tried two different SIM, on is a Straight Talk sim that is set up to use the ATT network and used a T-Mobile sim card, both were unable to keep 3G as a setting.
My Nexus 5 seems that reluctant to drop from 3g to 2g when 4g is selected i have given up and now just manually select 2g to make sure i have a signal (im out in the sticks a bit). Sat at the PC with 4g selected i get no signal whatsoever, with 2g selected i get an indicated full signal strength.
Why on earth the N5 is so reluctant to dip its toe in the 2g territory when no data is on is beyond me.
Hi,
I have H60-L02 version with B307 from some time now and lately I noticed that, without warning, one or both sims are been disconnected from network, putting me in the situation in which I cannot make or receive calls. If I change from 2G to 3G on sim 1 it reconnects.
The fact which is more annoying is that in disconnected state on the status bar it shows that I have network signal on both sims. For checking if I'm effectively connected to network I have to go in "Settings-About phone-Status-Network" and verify the Service state.
Anyone had this problem, and if so, is there a workaround ?
Thank you.
I got similar problems with the SIM card. I've got the international h60-l04 on stock firmware with one SIM slot and the mobile connection fails every time. The Status Bar says there is a connection, but it isnt stable. It switches every few seconds.
I tried to delete the APN, forcing 2G and 3G and havent got a sollten, yet. I first thought it's a firmware failure.
Is there any solution for this? I have the similar problem as well... My model is H60-L02.
Thanks..
