before rooting my phone under network mode I used to have the option to select WCDMA/HSDPA but after rooting it that option has changed to GSM/WCDMA, how to I fix this?
Unroot........
Naaaah, i have always had gsm/wcdma option, but phone is working in hsdpa mode according to speedtest.net. So it seems to be only a name difference.
i have the same problom my phone has no 3g or H signel anymore
try to enter the apn settings manually.
in the UK we always had GSM/WCDMA even if the phone was running in HSDPA, and since most of you root onto the generic UK firmware that is your answer.
Gsm/hspa is probably a operator specific branding. But its total nonsense , gsm/wcdma is the correct wording as wcdma is umts and hspa is a software specific upgrade which is not available on all towers in most networks.
But in order to use it at all WCDMA (umts) needs to be enabled

My SG2 is set up in network mode with GSM/WCDMA(Auto mode).
When I’m home the signal strenght, WCDMA, is -101 dBm 7asu and the voice quality is very bad, almost unusable.
When I manually switch to GSM the signal pops up to -73 and 15 asu and I can talk with a sound quality as it should be.
To me it seems that the phone doesn’t switch to GSM, or too late, when the WCDMA signal is bad.
I have tried quite a few different modems for the SG2 but I can’t see any difference between the versions. Maybe it’s the network provider that manage when to switch?
If would be great if someone could give me some info. on how the switching between WCDMA and GSM works, and the thresholds.
GSM auto (PRL) will favour GSM over 3G.
I am not sure if it will work with your network, but you can only try...........
There are a few apps around that will do it, or you can just use the following:
1. Phone dialer *#*#4636#*#*
2. Phone info
3. Set preferred network type to : GSM auto (PRL)
Edit: I am not sure if it will revert after a reboot.
This post was rather useful info, although different phone and network, principle is the same:

Hello, I have a AT&T HTC Inspire 4g.
I don`t live in the States, and my problem with that is the fact that in my country the 3g network runs at 2100, and the phone isn`t supporting it.
I read that my operator runs 2g on 900, and also checked that the phone supports it, but there is no option in the menu to change from 3g/4g to 2g
Can you tell me how and if I can do it
Thank you in advance
SOLVED!
Fist write this in "Phone"
*#*#4636#*#*
Then change->
Phone information > Set preferred network type > to GSM only
Then make new access point names - name: simple, apn: simple
i am a taiwan atrix user,so i guess my atrix is the internal version...
yesterday,i set the gsm/umts band to [usa band]
then,l lost any 3g signal or 2g signal
now it displayed"no signal"on every boot
i think that if i can set the gsm/umts band to other local,i may fix it
but i the test mode,i just got the usa band to choose
i have reflash the rom again,but it doesn't get any better
how can i do???
Contact your carrier to setup the apn, the screen shot is for canada, telus. Make sure that the fields are properly competed.
System settings - more.. (under data) - access points.

Where did you do "this?"
In the hidden phone menu, I assume?

Guys i am having a problem finding the apn options on my sprint lg, The phone is unlocked for any sim, but im trying to get my 3g to work on this phone but is this option even Available?
It is under Settings / More / Mobile Networks
Then choose Network Mode
I guess if you just select CDMA, you will be forced into 3g only.
Hi am Haruna from Ghana.
I bought Alcatel Ideal 4060a (AT&T) model a couple of months ago, but problem is that the network doesn't change at all its always at 2g/EDGE no matter what i do or which network i put inside the phone.
Am currently using MTN (Scancom) which is a 4g Sim card and the phone is unlocked to any network.
And there is no option in the settings that you normally choose from your preferred network mode.
So i stated googling for the solution when i came across this code (*#*#4636#*#*) which i can use to change my preferred network, but whenever i change it, nothing happen, i mean nothing at all, all it does is that, when i select "only WCDMA" i will not get service/network, when i select "LTE only" no network, the only thing that work is GSM or WCDMA preferred.
So guys i urgently need your help as am getting frustrating by this phone.
E/GPRS is slow max u can get is 28KiBps, switch to 3g or 4g, it also depended on your att network coverage, Are you living inside bunker?
