is there any convenient solution to switch off UMTS mode and stay on classic GSM 2g Net? Should save power ...

That is the perfect tool if you go abroad.
But if you only want to save a bit of battery and still use the Internet Connections, you might be interested in this:

Since I am dropping my sprint service I want to disable the 4g and 3g radios but leave the wifi enabled. The best way I have found so far is to put it into airplane mode and then enable wifi. Is there a better or more permanent method to do this?

LTE On/Off from the Android Market provides a shortcut to the radio list; there's a "turn off radio" button at the bottom.
It was intended for use on the Thunderbolt, but works great on any device.
Keep in mind that this does not persist through restart.
Thanks for the info.
I dont have my view yet but I read this on the hero forum
"In the dialer put in *#*#4636#*#* then go into Phone Information then scroll down and select turn off radio."
But instead of the dialer you enter it in the calculator (from what I hear from viperboy). He tested it and it does disable the radio(not sure if just wimax or 3g as well) and I'm not sure if it sticks after a reboot or not or if it leaves Wifi turned on (something I find annoying about airplane mode, having to enable wifi every time I boot)
FYI: if you enter the passcode as !+!+4636+!+! in the calculator, you can indeed turn off the radio. Unfortunately, it comes back on after you reboot. The better option, then, is to keep it in airplane mode and enable the wifi when you need it.
I use the lte program with a shortcut, bt dont work in airplane mode btw.
Hey guys my s3 is great except every night when I get home I need to manually go into my mobile network settings and set it to GSM rather than Auto. Reason for this is at home at night my 3G drains my battery immensely. I'm currently running omega 27.9 with root but this also happened on stock.
I'd like to find a way to either set it up by toggle through a widget, or through taster somehow. This is different from just turning off 3G data because the voice component will still search for the 3G network, I want to find a way to actually set voice and data to GSM hopefully automatically (perhaps screen off for 10 minutes?)
I had look at tasker but it could only toggle the data network.
Thanks!

I think HD widgets has a switch widget to toggle between 2G and 3G.
Go to Settings>Mobile Networks>Network Mode>GSM

Hi all,
I would like to setup Llama, so that the following happens:
When my screen switches off, after 5 minutes Data should switch to 2g
and
When screen turns on, Data should immediately switch back to 3g if it is not already in 3g mode
The bold underlined is my problem right now. Even if I'm in 3g mode (because the screen wasn't long enough off to switch to 2g), the data reconnects itself from 3g back to 3g.
Any ideas how to solve this? It seems I can't set a condition about mobile data connection
Thanks a lot!
Use a llama variable
As we all know, set the Network connection to "2G only" safes a lot of battery. When we set to 2G/3G, the device decides eitch network is actually the best choise.
But what is if I set the cinnection at 3G only. Does it safes batter in compering to 2G/3G-Mode?

if you choose 2G then it will save battery but will you crappy internet speed. and if you use 3G only then it will give you high speed internet but less battery life.. so to balance out both.you should keep your mobile in 2G mode when you dont need high speed internet..and when you need internet you can switch it to 3G. i use that trick
so yes..its better to switch manually rather keeping 2g/3g automatic mode
Hi! I looking for an app or program or suggesting to create a program that can switch from data off 2G to data on 4G. What I meant is 2G network consumes less battery. A 4G network consumes battery.Turning data causes more battery. So I am thinking if I can replace the status bar 'data' button to function like , when 'off' it will switch to 2G and of course the data will be off. When I need data, clicking the button 'on', automatically connect to 4G and also the data will be on. (Note: my town supports only 4G) You know, I think its a great idea!
