Hi Just bought a Star B94M which came with Jelly Bean 4.2.1 from the factory.
I have a problem when 3G is enabled I have voice calls being dropped.
I live in the UK (Leicester) it is on the Vodafone network, this problem happens in various places not just in one location.
Carried out speed test on the data side with 3g this hangs and freezes 6 out of 10 times, if I disable the 3g the speed is slow but constant does not hang or freeze and voice calls are good.
I've checked the following APN settings, tried in various modes GSM/WCDM Auto WCDM Preferred, GSM/WCDM Auto, WCDM only.
The best combination is GSM only and 3g disabled.
Are there any settings I can change to make the 3g better.
The phone came with 4.2.1 it is not rooted and I don't really want to root the phone just in case I have to send it back, as it is only 1 week old.
Also noticed that the battery would indicate 60% and a few minutes later show 14% and starts to warn, needs charging, if you switch off and remove the battery and then put back the indicator will go back to 60%
