If I were to get an unlock code for my AT&T atrix, would it open up the option to set my phone to 2g only?
This app says it will, haven't tried it myself. http://goo.gl/Hroik
Doesn't work :/ just directs you to the page that is missing the 2g toggle. I was hoping that by unlocking my phone that toggle would show up.

Hi
I have my nice new SGS2 but there is no option for network roaming, only data roaming. In order for me to use orange network i need to re-scan and select tmobile/orange, but only get "G" data connection. When i rescan and select Tmobile i get full "H" data connection. Is this normal or am i missing a setting where it will automatically switch. I have set it to automatically but it does not switch between the two. (it's a PAYG O2 handset but unlocked)
Any ideas or will i just have to switch it all the time. Not a real problem as its onyl in my place of work that t-mobile signal is awful yet orange is fine.
Thanks
I think Everything Everywhere rolled out to everyone automatically but by the sounds of it you were missed out. As you're on T-Mobile you can sign up here:

For anyone on Orange, sign up here:

Also, if you haven't ticked the data roaming then tick it! You won't move to any other network than Orange in the UK. Just remember to turn it off when you leave the country.

Done that but still it does not switch to orange when i have no t-mobile signal. If i do it manually it shows great orange signal....just does not automatically switch...
It won't switch automatically if there is a T-Mo signal available no matter how weak or strong.
Or is there no signal available to you with T-Mobile?

I can't say for the SGS2 but I can tell you how it is on my Hero, and im guessing it should be same on the SGS2 as its an Android setting ...
If you're on T-Mobile, as I am, then scan your network and select "T-Mobile" only and tick the Data Roaming option. That's the only option you need and it's the only option available. This should then automatically switch over to Orange only when you can't access a T-Mobile signal. You'll know its done it as your network will be displayed as Orange as opposed to T-Mobile.
This is how it works on my phone and it works fine. It should be the same on the SGS2 as well.
Also apparently you'll only get "G" or "E" connections on the Orange signal. That's all they are allowing at the moment.
Hi, I have a Hero and that switches fine but the sgs2 will just show no network when i lose tmobile and not switch to orange. I see that if i get orange manually i will only get "G", its just the automatic switching does not seem to work. Checked tmobile web site and they dont have internet settings for the phone yet, but do have mms/sms settings...maybe in june when they release it they will update the settings and ill be able to down load.

They aim to do 3G roaming at some point in the future but for now it's EDGE only on data.
My network currently (ie when I drag down notification bar) is 'Orange T-mobile'

Im on t-mobile and mine seems to auto switch without setting anything. A few days ago I remember it saying orange but most the time it says t-moble.
PS: the other day I found out my phone had been emergancy calls only for neely 24hrs the only way i could get signal again was to turn it off and on so dont know if that had anything to do with it messing up when it tryed to change
I have Orange provide HTC Mozart, updated to latest update (7390). Recently got the unlocking code from Orange, entered it, works OK.
However, I noticed that with Orange SIM it receive both 3G and 2G signals but with any other operator SIM it only receive 3G signals, NO 2G signals.
Any idea what's wrong?
are you worried because your phone gets the best signal?! probably other operators provide better 3G signal and your phone automatically chooses the 3G.. I think you can choose not to receive 3G signal in the mobile network settings..
Hi, no I tested it with 3G signal off but the phone is not catching any 2G signal except orange 2G.
is there any way entering the code again?
may i need to enter code manually for the 2G carriers?

Just take HTC CONFIG CONNEXION on HTC apps (marketplace) & choose your carrier in the list & it would work
thanks for the quick reply but i coud not find HTC CONFIG CONNEXION on market place?
will it select the carrier forever or every time i have to put a different SIM then i need to run this app?

GO into the HTC APPS into the marketplace u Will find it
yes u Will choose the carrier & if u change for an another Sim carrier then u Will have to launch This app again(Just One time for the App cofigure your network)
if u keep the same sim carrier it Will select the network forever
I found "Connection Setup" in HTC Apps and tried that, seems like it's the same you're referring to. I tried it but no luck. I think the unlock code only unlock the SIM but not the carriers.
hello all,
about two weeks ago a flood came through pa and ever since that flood came through the tower by my house is putting off a "bad 4g" or "h+" signal, which my atrix is forced to used, when i make a phone call the atrix drops down to 3g and i can get on the internet no problem and i can get on any other tower no problem, i called att about the problem and they said the tower by my house is in a degraded state and they don't know how long it will be before it gets fixed, to me it doesnt seem to be a priority since the problem only affects those who's phones use the bad h+ signal. I know the phone would function fine if there were some way to drop the phone down to 3g or edge as my wifes captivate works off the sme tower no problem. I have tried the #*#*4636*#*# option - gms blah blah and it didnt do anything to change the h+, i even figured out how to modify the settings under etc/motorala/android.phone/settings.xml to get the network settings ungreyed only to find out that changing the settings to 2g or 3g did nothing to change the h+ symbol, i am running stock rom 2.3.4 att, one thing i did noticed don't know if it is related but the apn's are locked, do i need to unlock my phone to force edge? those of you who have atrix and are able to force edge please let me know how you are able to and weather or not your phone is locked. if at all possible i would like to avoid flashing roms but would be willing to unlock my phone if it goves me the ability to force edge. this is ridicous that att would lock this option out. please help me as having no internet on my phone sucks
*#*#4636#*#* -> phone information -> set preferred network type to -> GSM only -> Press back button to exit out of it.
Do not attempt to change anything else.

i Tried that and it did not change the h+ down to edge and when i go back in it is set back to gsm auto/ are your apns unlocked or phone unlocked if this actually does work for you?
apn wap.cingular and set to use 2g only. wap.cingular is edge. hsdpa will be 3g speeds.
i know i thought of that too, except att has locked all of their apns they have a little lock next to them? any one know how to remove the locks or is this the same thing as unlocking the phone?

Add a new apn and select it. You can only have one active at any time anyways.

There isn't a 2G option in APN settings.
Hey everyone
I have the Canadian variant of the LG G5 (the H831) and I have no LTE option in network mode.
I bought this phone from WIND Mobile (now Freedom Mobile) and it seems like they Disabled the LTE functionality for some reason.
I was wondering if there is a way to enabled it?
I inserted my SIM in my friends phone (same model but with Rogers Wireless) and the phone downloaded the APN settings from Freedom Mobile.
That did not work at all and the phone was stuck on 3G just like my phone.
I heard if I install the firmware from another provider, it might work. However it seems the APN settings from my provider are causing the LTE option to disappear from network mode.
Lastly, I accessed the service menu by dialing a code in the dialer and I was able to enable LTE.
However, I was not able to make and receive phone calls.
Did anyone here have success enabling LTE with this model or similar?
suggestions are greatly appreciated!
I have a LM-v600TM, I'm on mint mobile, the phone boots up with a U.S. Cellular logo. I've checked guides on turning on wi-fi calling and the option just doesn't exist. I'm assuming U.S. Cellular disabled the option, is there a way to root the phone and re-enable the option?
