I have set 3G type at mobile-broadband setting:

screen1

But I still getting 2G (EDGE) type very-slow connection:

screen2

Also 3G network available as following:

How to solve this and get only 3G (HSPA/WCDMA) instead of EDGE connection? (Because There is BSNL-3G available in my area and work correctly on android-phone & windows)

I've tried after replugging and restarting but not solved.

  • Just because you set it as 3G doesn't mean that you'll get a 3G conection all the time. Are you sure you get 3G where you are? Try geting a 3G signal in another area.

Reinstall network-manager & modem-manager-gui with 2G connection.(though it is slow)

sudo apt-get --reinstall install network-manager
sudo apt-get --reinstall install modem-manager-gui

(Optional)Then install the necessary packages for network-manager to work.

sudo apt-get install network-manager dpkg dbus dnsmasq-base iproute iputils-arping isc-dhcp-client libc6 libdbus-1-3 libdbus-glib-1-2 libglib2.0-0 libgudev-1.0-0 libnl-3-200 libnl-genl-3-200 libnl-route-3-200 libnm-glib4 libnm-util2 libpolkit-gobject-1-0 lsb-base udev upstart-job wpasupplicant

    How is reinstalling the underlying networking framework gonna help them get 3G signal? (your solution sounds fishy to me)

  • @123456 I reinstalled network-manager and modem-manager-gui and after restarting, now getting 3G (HSPA) connection!. (I not needed to install any extra package for network-manager) How this helped me?
