Hi all
I am temporarily using my mobile in an area with poor signal and the mobile is swapping between bands very frequently. This is causing dropouts. Usually the band that was previously in use seconds beforehand is reselected, so I don't think the swap is due to a complete loss of signal.
This is becoming an annoyance when trying to stream video or browse the web.
Would selecting the correct bearer setting help? I've duplicated my APN (from default) and ticked off the options I think Three uses, although I'm not 100% sure if I've missed any or selected incorrect options.
I ask as the mobile seems to suffer less dropouts and transitions between bands much quicker with the bearer settings entered (this may be placebo?). I know this won't increase signal strength or quality, but would there be any other improvements?
Any advice refering to the above points would be welcome.
Options (tick multiple):
Unspecified [default]
LTE
HSPAP
HSPA
HSUPA
HSDPA
UMTS
EDGE
GPRS
eHRPD
EVDO_B
EVDO_A
EVDO_0
1xRTT
IS95B
IS95A
NR
Thanks
