4G force app - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Icant seem to find a way to force my g2 to stay in "4g"
Ihave full conection it just keeps bouncing back and fourth
Between 3g and 4g .. any help?

I dont know but all the roms do that and it does that to save battery, if it stays in 3G it means its just saving battery but when you go to an app that requires the web it goes to 4G for fasters speed.
So basicly devs made it like that to make your phone save battery.
My guess, dont quote me on that.

It switches whilst iam using the browser
And ialways get page load fails
Its switching as itype this
And when iuse my tether it still switches ..its rather annoying

What I did was download the app any cut and make a shortcut to the phone info setting. Once in there just switch from wcdma perferred to wcdma only and that should do it

it will work until you negotiate a new tower, iirc.

That happened fo me too. But I was getting the speed without the icon...it was only when it switchdd that it would f up. I just switchdd radios and downloaded the 4g app pack and it helpdd but didnt fix (only happendd with a couple roms) and on other roms it will say 4g but its a 3g speed...and that ciuld just be the nature of the beast...

Can't believe no one else in the know has commented on this. You c ant force it. PERIOD. That is not how hspa works. The phone plays a small part in the switch but MOST of it is up to the towers discretion. The tower switches you to hspa when the data throughput warrants it. This is a fact not just some crackpot theory. Save your time!
Lol to the person who said devs made it that way. Not making fun just laughing

What amount of time are we talking? Mine takes probably 10 seconds or so, which is a really long time for something loading (even though it may not sound like it when typing here).
I would say almost a minute

about 6 - 10 sec is avrg... 1 min ?? i would check my data info to make sure ur phones on the up and up
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
would it be caused by slow network? I usually get that problem when I'm in such GPRS or jamed 3G network
I'm not really sure because I don't have a data plan on my HTC G2. I just use wifi the whole time.
And it really takes about a minute to load.
I don't think itss because its the slow connection, it has to be something else.
Any suggestions on what I should do?

MiUi question?

I just flash miui from rom manager on my girlfriend G2 I'm wondering is this rom 4g compatible? In network settings it only has 3g preferred, 3g only, and 2g.

I don't know of that's true or not because in the past when I had flashed the sense 3.0 rom for her she was able to stream netflix flawlessly without buffer. Now on miui she can't even stream/connect to the video and the data seem alot slower. Our cycle just restarted so I know we did not go over our 4gb 4g data.

Sounds like a Radio issue. Make sure that Rom is compatible with the radio your using. Just an suggestion.Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

Mobile Data Connection Issues

I am running Andromadus Mimicry version 1.40. When I turn mobile data on, it takes an age to even show up in the notification bar. The only way to make it connect is to reboot the phone, and it comes right on. When it actually does connect, the speeds in the browser are really slow as well. Only when it shows the 'H' icon in the notification bar (instead on the 3G icon) websites load. I have flashed the radio mentioned here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1701467 and still no change. Any suggestions, as this is really frustrating.
Thanks, masterleron.

Use Airplane mode (or flight mode) instead of rebooting the device
Have you tried wifixmanager (market) ?
Hmm, I flashed Gen.Y VisionX B5, and everything is fine again.
Strange.

Data not staying active?

Anyone experience issues like apps that use data such as Facebook, friend caster, twitter, xda,.. Such as if your viewing something it won't refresh auto or manually. And you have to reset your data to be active again..? I'm noticing it is mainly while connected to lte
I'm on tweaked rom 2.3 with the latest saber kernel 32.2 UC
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
For example I have on auto refresh on this app and I tried manually refreshing just now and still won't refresh.. It's like certain apps I'm having hangs on.. But open a Brower or 2 and it loads whatever no issue..
P.s.. Double posted, didn't allow me to attach image to first post

I've experienced this also. It has something to do with our phone's way of handling the high power consumption of LTE. I first noticed it using my favorite app DeskSMS, which worked flawlessly prior to LTE, now it doesn't work half the time. However, It became such an irritation I manually went back to 4G, and everything works like it should.
If I ever needed the higher speeds, I can always switch to LTE.

I figured that but it's surprising that lte wouldn't operate the same as on a 4g connection but faster..

They should all do this. Just know it won't over edge, which is too slow anyway
Calling and data
I have this problem on my drive home from work a lot, with the stick touch wiz the phone doesn't normally distinguish between 4g and 3g. So if I am not calling I get "4g" all the way but when I am on a call a frequently lose data in one 5 to 7 mile stretch. Personally I like the google pay Roms. They are clean and I experience very few force closes compared to CM. GPE and CM also will show you when you have 3g or 4g (H or H+).

Oh it distinguishes it just fine, its just meant to display 4G for 3G and H/H+.. My guess is that data coverage is probably not that good in that area
Thanks.
