No 3G - Bell Galaxy Tab with Rogers SIM card

[Gadgetguy2005]

Hello all,

I am using a Bell Canada GT on Rogers in Canada (with JPZ modem).

All works good (I have internet and phone) - however I never seem to use 3G.

The 3G indicator comes on for a second or two, but then the GT switches over to a non 3G data mode.

I would think 3G is the fastest - and it would be great to use it.

Do I need to use a different modem file? Or maybe different settings?

Please help.

Thank you all!

What is it switching to? H, or G, or EDGE? There is a Bell modem - JK3. Maybe try that? Takes only a few seconds to find out.

It switches to H

H is a half-step faster than 3g. It's short for HSPA (high speed sumpin-sumpin).

Thank you so much for explaining. I googled hspa and you are right. I have learnt something from you.

Also, it seems then that there is no need to touch the modem file.

Thanks again!

I wouldn't change it - it sounds like you get good results.
