Are you trying this for the first time?
Settings > mobile networks > network mode > select Wcdma only (3g only)

If you don't get good 3g connectivity then select wcdma preferred/gsm. It will select 2g and then select 3g when signals are good.

If it was working before and not now then ask your service provider to send you the internet settings again.

Ps : Don't post one liner , include all the necessary details.
I tried CDMA , but then even my sim lost all signals. Had to revert back to GSM/LTD/CDMA (Auto) option

Today, i got 32 gb sim card from Paytm and installed in my mom's Moto E.

Although, it says 28 gb free space, but when i am trying to install apps from playstore i am getting low space error [frustration]

If you lose all signals on wcdma mode that means your operator doesn't have 3g signals in your area. Which operator are you on ?

I just ported to airtel and where i didn't even a good Vodafone 2g connection , i am getting strong 3g signals from airtel.

It's not the phone's issue but your operator. Make a complaint.

About the memory card , now all the apps are stored in the internal memory. You can only store music and games data on the sd card. The basic application stays in the internal memory.

I guess you have a 4 gb model ? Try deleting unnecessary applications. Again there's nothing you can do besides this.

Oh did i knew that . It means money down the drain.

The next phone will have to be a 64 gb internal memory due to so many apps.

Any suggestions on VFM 32 gb/64 gb phone ?

Buddy you won't get brand new Galaxy S6 for 40K and I wouldn't suggest buying Note 4 or iPhone 5S as :-

- iPhone 5S would feel like a downgrade after using iPhone 6 and also it is pretty outdated now

- Note 4 has not yet recieved 5.1.1 Lollipop update yet and also has pretty big dimensions. Also thanks to the launch of the Note 5 it will get outdated and Samsung is famous for not giving software updates to such phones.

Instead you can get OnePlus 2 (can be bought at 2K premium from individual sellers) or wait for the upcoming Moto X Style. Both phones have killer specifications.

If you are open to buying used phones then you can get Galaxy S6 32GB for 30K but however get them checked properly.

Thanks for the inputs Omkar bro.I feel S6 is one of the best Samsung S series till date.But,I still prefer iPhones over Samsung for its butter smooth UI and ecosystem.I like One Plus 2 but I have to exchange my old Nexus 5 for new one so ruled out.Coming to iPhones,the iPhone 6 is used by me.But,my mom needs an upgrade from iPhone 4.The 5S is still one of the best iPhones I have ever used till date.Though 6 is good with better specs and bigger screen,I feel iPhone 5S is enough for mom.

Presently i have a samsung galaxy s 3 and want to upgrade to an advanced device. But i don't want to go to samsung this time because of light weight construction of device (it is the nice device but i don't like it after using it for 2 years) the light weight is a problem because my S III is more slimer that it tends to bend/ it is not that much rigid as any other smart phones.

Requirements:
1. min. screen size of 4 inches.
2. min. RAM of 1GB.
3. Must be flexible to use.
4. Must be somewhat rigid in terms of thickness.

Phones shortlisted:
1. iphone 5s
2. xperia z3

And which is better the Apple iphone 5s or 5c.

Guys, please do suggest smart phones of your choice too.

I would say go for iPhone 5S as it has better hardware and better longitivity than an Android.Or else,try Moto X Style edition or One Plus 2.If you are ok with Samsung,go for S6.

Due to so many apps, most of which cant be saved on SD card. I think i will have to buy a 64gb internal memory mobile.

Any good 64gb internal memory mobile in 15k ?

I also prefer Apple, is Apple iPhone 5c better than 5 S or what is the main difference between these two in terms of apps, features, etc. The only difference i find is that 5 C has more colour options than 5 S, is this the only difference.
Are you using anyone of these?. Iphone 5C is like old wine in new bottle, its iphone 5 inside. Iphone 5S is the first 64 bit processor phone from apple, got a better camera and also it has touchID to tell as some of the most prominent features!. Making bland remarks about things one is not sure about and sharing incomplete information may misguide the fellow members IMHO. I have 5S and 6plus at home and I find 5S handy and more comfortable to use.

add 3k to your budget and get a new
Mi 4 Price in India - Buy Mi 4 White 64 Online - Mi : Flipkart.com

or add 1500 to get a Refurbished OPO
Refurbished OnePlus One (Sandstone Black, 64 GB): Amazon.in: Electronics


personally i use a 32gb HTC One and it solves my purpose. I have also added a 32gb class 10 micro sd card where i store my music etc. Also my photos + mail attachments get stored in sd card as a result 32gb internal memory is sufficient.
