    My network have 3G and HSDPA. But I don't get the signals. I only get GPRS and HSDPA.

    My phone is running Ginger Bread 2.3.4. Model is GT-S5830L

    Things I've tried...

    1. In the phone information section(*#*#4636#*#*) where to select preferred network type, its always selected GSM only. although I set it to other, it changes back again to GSM only after some time.

    2. I set the netowrk band selection to automatic.

    3. In my old nokia, I remember it showed me my networks 3g network and normal one both of my carrier. But in my Ace I see only one. Though I selected my carrier manually It still only works EDGE/GPRS

    Please help me.....

    In which country do you live? This phone only connects to a 3G network in Europe and Asia. If you do live in one of these 2 continents, then you may wanna check what 3G frequency band your network provider uses. It may not be supported by this phone...

    I'm in Sri Lanka....I've selected all for network band. And When I set network type to WCDMA only I don't get signal at all. that means My phone doesn't get 3G signals :( how to enable that?

    Machan, Here me too running with the same problem. I cannot connect to 3g by anyway. I only connect to Edge. I've got android 2.3.4 . How can we solve this problem now? I'm a mobitel user. We should know whether all the Ace users got this problem.

    Machan dJanath is correct... but Galaxy Ace 'L' version doesn't support in SL. Change the 4n immediately to a other version. I changed mine. now 3G works well.

    The shop changed it for me. They knew the defect, so it was easy. Contact your shop too. It's a defect in the hardware. I don't think software can repair it. And I dn't found any.

    Did you buy it from "New Blue Grass Cellular" in MC ? I bought mine from there.
    myself and another friend of mine bought 2 units from the same place and had the same problem. Once I found the article on incompatibility, we went to the shop complained with the evidence for incompatibility and they said they need time to upgrade the firmware and many more & they took 2 days to get the confirmation from them on incompatibility. then only they agree to give a new phone. now I got a 5830 and HSDPA works fine.

    Hi Machans,

    I have the same problem with my Galaxy Ace S5830L and seems I should also change the phone. I bought only couple of days before. I upgraded the version to 2.3.6 as well. Still no luck. Thanks guys for the replies :)

    This might be irrelevant but on my galaxy ace in the access point menu my provider name had 'android' added to it and prevented my phone from connecting to the internet I don't know whether this solves your problem
