Nexus One Simple 3G Fix?

January 20, 2010 in Featured, Nexus One How To's, Wireless News

So apparently the issue that some Nexus One’s have been having with staying on 3G can be easily fixed.  LKontheRun discovered that if he went into Menu > Settings > Wireless & Network Settings > Mobile Networks > Network Operators > waited for it to scan > then selected Select Automatically that his phone had 3G reception where it used to have EDGE.

So while Google still hasn’t responded to any of this or come out with their own update, feel free to give this a try and let us know if it worked.

    I tried it and when it selected automatically,it went from 3g to edge. when I did it again and selected t-mobile, I got 3g again. Go figure.

    I have the same problem with my MT3G. So, I selected automatically and it went to edge, i selected T-Mobile and i got 3g, then back to auto, and it stayed with 3g. I’m confused.. hope it works :)

    It worked for me. I no longer have it trying to switch to edge anymore

      C-D,

      Yup seems to work for me too :)
      Too bad it can’t make more T-Mobile towers appear…

    also if you type *#*#4636#*#* then go to phone information scroll to the bottom and and where it says WCDMA preferred and click WCDMA only it will only let you use 3g and never switch to edge, but fair warning if you are not in a 3g connection area you will have no signal, but it can be easily changed back..found on XDA
