hi all,
i plan to buy a mozart but i am wondering if i can put it permanently into 3g signal. we have 3g here in our location, i have an android and i put it permanently to 3g, when i tried mozart, it does not have feature, it just has dual band, so it switches to 2g everytime which i found frustrating. this is my only gripe with it. is there anyway to set it to 3g?
thanks!
Yes it does have 'Permanent' 3G, just like the iPhone, it has a option which you can turn on in the settings, i also hated that Android did not have a 3G switch either!
it says in the settings "when available" do if there is no or weak signal, it reverts to the 2g signal. i want it to be 3g everyday.

Simple. Just go into phone dialer, key in ##3282#
then goto/tap on ... at the bottom on the right hand side. Under 'settings' you'll find the menu to change it whether 'automatic', '2g only' or '3g only'.
Good luck.

With Use "2G Only" checked I get NO data. I've been googling and testing for 4 hours.
When I uncheck "2G Only" it switches to 3g and I get data. If the 3g signal is bad it will switch to E and I will get data and if I move near the window and the signal gets better it will switch back to H. So I know Edge works fine and is in this area.
At the same location, if I check 2G Only, I get no data. Voice is fine.
I went into *#*#4636 Info and when GSM Only is selected, I press Menu, and it shows Enable Data connection but when I select it, it does nothing. The menu disappears but it acts like nothing happened.
When I boot Windows Mobile 6.5 Edge and 3G work fine.
I have to get 2G only working because the 3g is random in my condo.
FYI, I can't get MMS sending to work either. I tried port 8080, I tried with username and without, with and without passwords, with APN type and without too.
I've had the same problem on builds that have a 3g only choice (wcdma). When selecting, I get no signal, otherwise it was fine. I wonder what that is messing with.

I have the same issue too
What network are you on? TMobile I assume since you talk about Edge and GSM.
Edge is 2.75G in essence. TMobile does not have a distinct 2G signal, at least not that I am aware of. It goes G (no data), E (Edge 2.75G), 3G, and H.
So by choosing 2G only, you eliminate even E...therefore no Data.
J
I'm on AT&T with a Telstra phone that has 850Mhz data.
If 2.75G is Edge and HAS data, how do I select it from the *#*#4636 or from some other menu?
On Windows Mobile 6.5, when I select GSM only I still get EDGE for data. So I can have a reliable voice call and when I'm not talking I can have Edge data.
I don't get good 3G at my house and when I'm on edge in get almost full bars. How can I shut off 3G/4g? I did the 4636 thing and selected gsm only but I still see h+. What am I doing wrong ? Is there another way? App?
When change it I just back out by the back button...is there a diffremt way I should do it to save the gsm settings only?
Thanks

Ok .. sigh... first off... the "bars" you are referring to indicates cell strength(voice calls/SMS) not data speed or strength. I think the atrix shows h+ no matter what as on my nexus it would change to H when using hsdpa and 3g for when on 3g and likewise for edge and even g **edit that's a cyanogen mod**. NOW as for switching to 2g only and disabling 3g it is ( settings> wireless & networks> mobile networks> select network = your choice) no need for *#*#4636#*#*
On another note if your getting slowdown on 3g try a restart... 2g is not going to be any faster.

Besides going through the different setting menus, there are widgets available in the market that will act as a shortcut to the last (or semi-last) preference. I have it configured in Extended Controls

i know what the bars mean. what i am saying is, i get a way better signal at home/work with EDGE. i want to be able to shut off 3g, like i use to be able to on my iphone to save battery, and i jsut dont need the connection at home and work.
i went to the settings, and mobile networks is greyed out? how can i get into that menu?

will it shut off 3g? and just keep EDGE? i have done it manually, but it does not seem to work?
no matter how many times i go into the 4636 screen and select GSM ONLY it goes right back to GSM/WCDMA
and i am so sick of looking service when it switches over from EDGE to 3g for ONE bar. what am i doing wrong? why cant i get it to STAY on EDGE>..this no service thing is making me wonder if i want to return this phone..

Try the widget call Extended Control and disable it. Good luck

I forgot that I had to unlock my phone for it to work (canada, go figure) maybe thats why mine isn't greyed out.

After selecting 2g only mode, my Atrix still gets 4g speeds...
I am running the same phone under AT&T with 4.5.141. I rooted the phone and enabled the greyed out preference pane to select 2g only. Regardless of if I select 2g only there, and if I use the *#*#4636#*#* code, I can run speedtest and get 4g speeds .... Do I just need to go the cyanogen mod? Are there other preference panes that I need to edit? I am jealous of all of you out there who have successfully whipped their Atrix 4g!

You will have to flash the n_1.100.00r radio

In settings, about phone, status what does it say for you guys on three uk under mobile network type.
Mine would say HSPDA regardless of being on 3g or H, now though it constantly displays UMTS
Is that normal? Is it because I've flashed a custom rom?
And also I've noticed my data connection changes often from 3g to H.
Lastly in network mode do you guys have it on auto or WCDMA only.
Thanks
Well it will switch to 3g(umts) when there isn't anybdata being sent/received. When you need data it switches to h(hspa) so you get the fastest speeds.
This is to save battery life, so when you check in settings your probably not pulling data.
Try downloading something then looking.

Thanks for the helpful reply.
Another thing though, would it benefit me switching to wcdma only instead of auto,?
Does anybody know how to turn off HSDPA but leave 3G enabled in this device? I used to have a samsung galaxy mini with this option of selection band and saves battery sooooo far
go to
settings>wireless&networksettings>Mobile Networks
depending on your ROM you will get Use Only 2G networks and Use Only 3G networks

thanks but this isn't exactly what I'm looking for. Is an option that allows you to enable only UMTS and not HSDPA. You could use 3G but without the "H" icon, which means less speed, but more battery life because the device is not switching between UMTS and HSDPA constantly. I know that there's an option to switch only to GPRS, but that's not what I mean... thanks anyway!
Hmmm. When I enable '2g only' I can still use EDGE networks and so forth, it only seems to disable HSDPA - which is how I want it. What do you get when you disable 2g then?

He's talking about UTMS which is one step ahead of EDGE and one step short of HSDPA. I don't believe that there is any way to disable HSDPA only, however like the post above says, you can disable UTMS & HSDPA under settings>wireless and networks>mobile networks>Use 2g networks only.
My Moto E always seem to prefer using 2G even if I have selected 3G as prefered. It is very annoying as I want to use data over 3G but can never switch to 3G.
On my Samsung Tab 2, my ROM gives me option to explicitly use 3G network(not prefered) but there I have another annoyance that it prefers UMTS or HSPA. Unfortunately, my area only serves data on HSPAP. How to latch on H+ only?
I tried going to the *#*#301279#*#* menu and clicked on HSDPA only. But nothing happens still on EDGE/UTMS in both cases.
