Please help me fix this

Why when I take a call it goes from 3G to GPRS automatically? This is the most annoying thing ever

I usually do 15+ calls and internet while in a call is the main reason I got a 9700 from my 8900. I've gone with all the latest leaks and all of them have the same problem.

Please help.

Strange why it's happening, that doesn't happen to me..

Force network to only use 3g and see if you drop the call?

I wish that were possible. We can force it to use 2G only, but not 3G only. Or am I missing something I didn't know about??

Options > mobile network > network mode
Then chane it to 2g

the option might not be there due to a Provider branded OS..

GPRS and not EDGE?

I have 2G, 3G and 2G & 3G ... three options.. i suppose some carriers may have disabled the choice.

It drops to GPRS and when the call ends it then picks up EDGE and then 3G. And I don't have a 3G only option. I have 2G and 2G & 3G.

I WISH I had that 3G only option. What carrier are you with? Would loading that OS even GIVE me that option?

I use a 9700 from tmobile, I don't see a gprs option on mine, but when I go into the manage connections icon I have the option of choosing to uncheck boxes for wifi and blue tooth etc. Also, I can go into the settings icon, then options icon, then in the list I can go to mobile network, then in the connection preference drop down box I can choose from, Mobile network only, preffered, or wifi only, etc.
Hope this helps
