[OT] .::The Official 3G/4G LTE Thread::.

I have also tried connect.mobilinkworld.com but the result is same.. Its 3g is working fine but 4g does not It does not recieve its data only outgoing data....If I change zong to 4g and keep jazz in 3g then zong 4g works fine but if I choose jazz 4g and keep zong in 3g then jazz 4g will not work.... for making jazz 4g to work I have to disable zong sim which I can't cause thats my main sim.

Change APN name to Jazz
APN to connect.mobilinkworld.com (if postpaid) and jazzconnect.mobilinkworld.com if prepaid.
Authentication type: None
APN type: default,supl

Save the APN. Restart your phone. Tell me if anything changes.

dude these APNs are obselete now, they told me to make a APN named "Jazz" and in apn section insert capital "M"
thats all,
this is for all jazz prepaid/postpaid/data sims/ devices

I think most operators worldwide accept any text to connect to any APN, because it's such a hassle.

I think even if you type ".", it'll connect.

Khsh97 try this... set sim 2 netwirk to 2G only.

I have an issue (again). I mean I've had it forever but I'm just starting to realize how bad it is.

If I set my SIM to 3G/2G mode (no LTE), it shows the H+ with full signals in my death-zone (my room). If I open fast.com, it will take 20-30 seconds to start showing any speed (meaning immense lag/latency). When it eventually starts, it shows a semi-decent 5-6mbps down.

On LTE, even with 1-2 lines, I get a good 30-35mbps. But it is unreliable because the phones keeps switching between 2-3 different towers (LTE/3G) and keeps dropping calls/texts.

What's happening here?

When you're connected to LTE, go to settings > about > status > SIM status and check the signal strength in its dbm and asu values and post them here.

Quick answer:

4G isn't strong enough (according to the phone) to stay connected to because of the ASU and RSRQ and other parameters the phone decides on - so it falls back to 3G.

As for the initial lag and the subsequent decent speeds:
- lag: poor signal quality - the phone has to make an effort to try and initiate a connection to the tower on HSPDA (which subsequently converts to DC-HSPDA). Dual carrier allows for lower latency. Think of it like the engine of a car warming up.
- speed after initial lag: the dual carrier helps in this. Tremendously. Think of it as a Suzuki FX that has finally gotten warmed up, and a nitro boost has been engaged.

-104dBm, 29asu.

Getting 20mbps.

Good analogies.

Poor network

It's not that bad. My S8+ used to hang on till around -113 dBm and then cut off back to 3G.

-104 shouldn't fall back to 3G so quickly. In fact as I'm typing this my signal is -102 and I never fall back to 3G where I'm sitting right now.

 

[shaheerk]

The signal falling down to 3G depends on different factors, apparently. I've never understood them myself since sometimes, I can force the phone to stay in 4G with perfectly usable signal - but when I revert back to auto, it falls back down to 3G.

On stock Android phones, you can access the hidden network menu by going to *#*#4636#*#* and selecting LTE or LTE/WCDMA, or toggle airplane mode and it'll go back to normal.

Hey guys, is there any network in pak that is true LTE ? i.e jazz, zong and telenor are 4G, but there is a difference between 4G and true LTE ? Isn't it?

Oh this is in my bedroom. 4G works here (on a single line). Its when I move away from this room when things start getting messy.

Zong free device offer is back till 15th May. 10k @ 65gb/month with free device, plus 10gb on 1+1 voice sim.

4G is LTE. But in US they consider 3.5 G as 4G otherwise in entire world LTE is considered as true 4G.

Hmm, I have seen LTE sign instead of 4G on some screenshots on web, why is that bro?

 

[shaheerk]

Makes no difference in the rest of the world. American carriers decided to call 3.5G as 4G, and actual 4G as LTE.

Because they didn't want to invest much in actual 4G, so they did this. But if you check the phones themselves, under the network options, you'll see it says H+.

Depends on phone and region. As shaheerk and ShuAK have said, it's exactly the same thing.

 

[shah95]

Thanks for explaining guys, I thought LTE is faster form of 4G.

 

[zakiuddin]

I think thats the best we can get over jazz 3g
