I had the same problem with my S as well, seemed to "prefer" the G connection (when on auto), probably to save battery life as 3G/H consumes a fair bit more power than G, so forced it to only use H/3G and is now constant H/3G when mobile data is activated.

Yeah it does that a fair bit, flicks between H and 3G every now and again, particularly as soon as you turn the mobile data connection on first time, but it should settle on either H or 3G after a few seconds depending on coverage etc.


As far as I know there is no way to make the WCDMA the preferred mode, maybe if you have a custom ROM on....

Check the coverage checker on your network provider's website and if it is weak coverage then you will experience those cut outs quite often, so better off leaving the GSM connection only then.

You can download speedtest from the play store to see what your dll, upload and ping are like on mobile data connection for 3G/H connection.

Yeah just checked the O2 coverage checker for my address and it showed up as full coverage for 2G and 'no coverage' for 3G so I guess I seem to be lucky to get a connection sometimes at least.

Might have to leave it on 'Auto' when I'm at home, unless I want to download an app then I will put it on 'WCDMA' until the wi-fi is fixed ... hopefully Tuesday

Yeah just leave it on auto then.

I was previously on 3 where I had absolutely no coverage for 3G/H in my area, however, if I placed it in certain positions e.g. on the ground beside my chair :p, I would get 3G/H (still **** speeds but was usable).

On o2 now and I get 3G/H every where around the house :D
 
Have to say I am actually reasonably impressed with the (headphone) audio on this - previously had a Desire and Xperia Play, and felt the audio was quite lacking, especially through decent (but aging! Shure e3c) 'phones albeit Poweramp managed to improve things slightly.
Now, with this phone and having only really used Poweramp thus far, I find the audio actually quite usable, and even feel that the Beats setting *sometimes* benefits a track. In all fairness, I use a Cowon J3 for more extended listening, but I am happy with the performance of the HOX as an occasional player, whereas I never really was with t'other handsets.
 
Got mine this morning, was very surprised to get a set of beats headphones for free with the phone so thats a big thumbs up to Voda as they never said I was getting that!

Ive got to say, coming from a Desire Z this thing is a beast of a phone, it just doesnt slow down, ever! So far it has far surpassed my expectations and Ive not even got the latest update on yet as it keeps flashing up at me but because I cant put it down I cant get it charged over 35% to update the damn thing!

I'd just leave it on auto for the time being to be honest.

Yeah I think I will put it back to Auto now, was downloading an app that it wouldn't let me download at all using the G connection, so had to switch, now it is downloaded I will probably put it back

Odd though like Nexus said, even though according to the providers website we shouldn't have been getting the 3G/H connection where we lived ... I am still getting it lol, but there is no signal bars, not even one, so it is very weak, just going to use it for downloading apps when I need to until the wi-fi is fixed again

Thanks guys :)

EDIT: Also, would anyone be able to briefly explain for me the difference between mobile network and roaming? And what I need them on for, so I can turn them off when not needed to save battery. Do I need them both on?

Roaming is for when you are in another country (usually). Just leave it off.

Okay, thanks

I assume yesterday when I had that on, that made my battery run down a bit quicker than it should have?

And mobile network is just what you need on to access the internet from your phone basically? Right?
 
If your on tmobile like i am, if you have roaming enabled you can then use Orange masts. On both my BB9900, iphone4 and HTC One X i have roaming enabled and all 3 are currently using Orange network ie says tmobile-orange...guess its part of the sharing network they agreed earlier last yr.

The roaming option doesn't need to be checked any more.
 
Wow, I feel so thick.

I was so close to packing up the handset and sending it back yesterday because I thought the Back, Home and Apps buttons were faulty when they didn't light up all the time. It was only after a little bit of messing about with the handset did I notice it was to do with the light sensor.

*sigh*

:(

No point posting about battery life if you don't post the most important stuff such as screen on time, brightness and what you have used your phone for :p
