Hi. I am well aware that the question I'm going to ask has been discussed in many threads on this forum and elsewhere. But I've not yet seen any good or satisfactory answers / solutions.
Before beginning, the question is "Does WP have no functionality of automatically connecting to the lower generation network spectrum if higher one is temporarily unavailable?"
So, to start with, I had got my Micro SIM cut into a Nano SIM as per Lumia 830's demand :wink: After a few hours, I began doubting if the SIM was not properly cut. Because, at a moment, it gained network and then after few hours or so, it was lost! In simple words, the phone would establish a connection but for very less time. Then I performed a hard reset and re-inserted the SIM. But again the same problem. I tried to shape it more evenly using a nail file. But still the problem persisted.
Finally, as a last resort, I decided to get a SIM replacement. This time it'd be a Nano SIM. I did everything that was required to get a replacement. And I was pleased to take the decision. But unfortunately, it didn't work. It still had the same problem. Then I had become suspicious about the phone. I was thinking of getting a replacement citing its connectivity issue as the reason.
Then while glancing through the settings, I got into the SIM settings. There I, just for no reason, selected 2G as the highest connection speed and was surprised to realize that my phone would seamlessly connect to the 2G network, but only if it is set as the highest connection speed :eck:
When I select 3G as the highest connection speed, it connects to it in the areas where it is available. If 3G is not available at a specific location, then it simply says "No service". Why does it do so? Other phones (except WPs) simply connect to 2G, if 3G isn't available. But my Lumia 830 won't do that. It connects if and only if 3G is available. Else, it doesn't connect at all
There's another scene where, when I attempt to make a call, my phone gets connected to the network, but only during the call. After hanging up, the phone again disconnects from the network. This has made me really frustrate as no one is able to call or text me due to the connectivity issue :angry:
Please help me out of this. I want to set the highest connection speed to 3G but not at the cost of frequent disconnectivity. I use 3G for internet browsing. Hence, settling for 2G is no option.

Now my problem is solved. The action centre now shows the "3G" tag where it used to show the "E" tag beside the carrier name.
