Guys post your opinions
We know that some brand can lock 3G signal in their mobile phones
& Some people always wanted to lock their phones in 3G signal.
my SE k800i cant lock 3G signal, i have only the dual mode 2G/3G setting.
which of the two settings have the best performance?
3G lock VS Dual mode.

Dual mode is better. 3G drops quickly if there is not enough coverage. |

3G is better for places with very good network coverage, but not everywhere is full coverage.
I prefer to use dual mode (GSM and 3G), because phone automaticaly change 3G to normal GSM (2G) if you haven't 3G coverage.

oh i see tnx for ur opinion, so dual mode is much better, it means i dont need that 3G lock setting bcoz my phone will automatically lock 3G signals if my vicinity had 3G coverage,my phone will pick the strongest signal.

i don't know why some people that i see are craving for 3g lock, they say it's better to use 3g lock when downloading and dual mode in browsing. |

its just the same dual mode and 3G lock in terms of locking the 3G signal
in dual mode, if the phone detects the strongest signal in the vicinity it will automatically lock into that signal.
let say your phone detects a 3G signals, so you'll assume that your downloading speed will get faster.. then suddenly you will get disappointed because your downloading speed is slow like 2G and it will stopped or slower than 2G.
that is the problem in 3G lock mode, it doesn't mean that your phone detects a 3G, it means that signal is strong.

i'm sure they created on purpose, and as for the users sez when downloading you must be 3g lock for the download not to be cut(maputol)  ( don't know what is the exact term eh)
and you know pinoy we are bandwith eater we are fun of downloading big files so i think they know the difference between the two, 3g lock and dual mode.

its ok bro cyborg
just like before try to experiment
disconnecting can't be evaded either you used 3G lock or Dual mode, i've encounter and configured many types of 3G phones and none of them evaded the disconnecting problem, and for the speed the results are the same 3G lock and dual mode,
but i think dual mode is much stable and less the % of chance of disconnecting compare to 3G lock.
as you can see dual mode uses both 3G and 2G signals so if 3G drops, 2G will support.
and 3G lock uses only 1 signal of course, so if 3G drops boom! disconnect!
