So I've been reading a few people still saying 3g isn't working or its too spotty. Here's the steps I take to get 3g working every time. Its easiest if you put a data and airplane mode toggle in the notification drawer. K so hit the data toggle so that it is lit and looks as if 3g should be on. Open the dialer app and dial "*#*#4636#*#*" without the quotes of course. This brings you to a hw testing menu. Press phone info, then scroll down and toggle radio off. Wait a few seconds and the toggle it back on. Press home key to get out. Pull down notification drawer, data toggle should still be on. Toggle airplane mode, wait a sec then toggle it off, last toggle data off, wait a sec then toggle it back on. Wait a sec and 3g should appear, the signal bars should turn blue and the little arrows in the signal bars should start blinking like crazy signaling you that 3g is working.lol I have found that with this method my 3g works perfectly fine 90% of the time. I have been using Alpha 7 since Mar 12th as my daily and I love it. I use pandora, I heart radio and lots of data heavy apps and never have problems at all. When you are done using 3g just toggle it off if you would like, when you need it again just toggle it back on like normal. Note every time you reboot you will have to repeat these steps to get it working again.
Tried this in Alpha 8... didn't work... However, I haven't had any problems with Wifi in Alpha 8 so that might be fixed?
