One is to uncheck Mobil Network while you are in a place you want to make sure you are using UMA; like home. This is what I have to do most of the time. Another way is to go to the "Mobile Network Options" in the same screen and set the "Connection Preference to Wi-Fi Only. I don't do this because is takes a lot more steps to go back to Edge when I leave the house.

On some days I can leave all checked and the phone will pick up UMA upper case just fine and some days all I get is EDGE upper case. So this was my fix and it works for me. Just my 2 cents.
In Manage Connection , the Mobile Network has green mark but Wifi has yellow mark only. My 8320 is connected to my school network now and I can browse but no uma so far. If I add BIS, will that solve the problem? I thought if I was able to connect to a Wi-Fi network then I would have UMA automatically. All I have now is lower case edge and Wi-Fi.
Another thing is Mobile Network Options. In there, I see Data Services, Mobile Network and Network Selection Mode. There's no "Connection Preference" in there. Am I missing something?
