How to change EDGE to high speed net in Android


You might have tried all the smartphones before and got lots of good experience in 2G and 3G network but sometimes you need to increase the internet speed for a high-speed browsing experience. Here is the complete procedure to change E to H in a smartphone easily.

How to change network from E to H in smartphone


In this article I am going to show you guys how to change network E to H in your Android Smartphones. First of all, you must have an idea about the different types of network. GPRS is a 2.5G wireless communication that is supposed to give you 56kbps - 114 kbps while EDGE is denoted by the symbol E.



The EDGE is the next level up giving you roughly twice the bandwidth of GPRS. On the other end is HSDPA denoted by the symbol H which is the next generation of 3G. It is called 3G+ or 3.5G. It gives you a speed of about 1.8Mbps as per the recently announced HSDPA+ service in Philadelphia for T mobile with 21 Mbps speed. 3G is faster than Edge in every benchmark. It means it is usually prefered unless it is not available or when the signal is too slow or weak.

The EDGE has the upper hand in low signal when compared to the 3G signal. 3G speed falls down in areas where there is low signal strength. Initially, 3G data plans were more expensive but since 4G came, the price of 3G has fallen down. If the phone shows E on the top it means you are going to get a slow browsing speed and if the phone shows H we get a little more speed than E. The steps that should be taken to change the network speed are given below.



Steps to change E to H network


  • Go the home page of the Android phone and press the call button

  • Dial *#*#4636#*#*

  • 0
  • And after dailing the number, a new tab appears as show below

  • 2
  • Press on the phone information and then a new tab with run ping test appears on the screen. You don't need to test the run ping test. Click on the Menu button. Options such as select radio band, view SIM address book, view fixed dialing number, view service dialing number, get PDP list, enable data connection appear on the screen. The screenshot is given below.

  • 1
    After then a new tab appears where you need to set Automatic. Click OK then a notification might appear. When that notification appears on the screen the edge ie, E changes to H ie, high speed. Now it allows you to browse faster than before when the network is in EDGE. Use this trick to go to 3G so that you can browse faster enjoy.

"You no need to test the run ping test click on the menu option button and option such as select radio band, view SIM address book, view fixed dialing number, view service dialing number, get PDP list, enable data connection appears on the screen. "

You mean that there is no need to test the run ping test right?

Now when I click on the menu button, it shows the options specified by you. But you didn't specify what all options to select. Like in radio band, what to select - automatic, usa band... Please elaborate. Thanks
