"GSM Only" is 2g, "GSM Auto (PRL)" will prefer 3g where available. You don't need 3g unless you're using the data connection, it eats the battery away.

That does randomly happen, I think if you try to use data after longer inactivity (after you were using Wifi for example), it might revert to 3g. Certainly after a reboot though, the standard option seems to be Auto.
Easy enough to change with the shortcut though!

I have the same problem, I am not on AT&T though, I am on bell
Edit: It's actually working now... I have reset my phone since I last tried, as I was having a different issue... however I don't think bell offers 2G???... at least not on my phone, because I get no service... There is a feature built into the phone that allows me to choose if I want "auto", "2G", or "3G"... and when I change it to "2G" same thing happens, no service... not able to call/text (not just no data as would be expected)
Woa, guys! I read somewhere (here on XDA) that there's basically no 2g anymore in Canada, that would be the reason..?
Sent from my Motorola Olympus using XDA Premium App.
Yeah, that's most likely it, oh well, I guess I am going to have to suffer through always having data hahaha... My battery life is good enough for me anyways!
It isn't that much of an issue if you always get a full 3g signal, you need to be changing to 2g when you're in areas with bad reception. Either way though, I never use 3g unless I need a fast data connection.

Dallas/Richardson area here, having the same problem. Data only working on 4G, nothing on evdo/1x.
Same here on two Thunderbolts in Los Angeles. I actually haven't seen 3G at all since Friday night. Called Verizon and apparently there is an issue with 3G provisioning. They claim they are working on it and that there will be a fix in the next day. I know others say they fixed it with a hard reset but I don't want to do that if I don't have to, especially if its just going to break again later...

Weird. Mine never had that problem.
Did a factory reset now (since I hardly customized my phone yet), and it seems to have fixed the 3G problem. Not only that, but now I have the updated market! (Before the reset, I had the old market)
Go to the market and download Restart Connections. If you lose mobile network after switching to the proper setting, run that app.
Edit: This will also get rid of the need to do a factory reset to regain data connection

it worked for me after a while. i turned it on outside my house and it worked, but for some reason my home wouldnt let me switch
Had a similar issue. Figured out that when I switch from LTE to CDMA (PRL) it will switch to 3g, it can take a while, however if I power off the phone it will not connect on reboot to 3g again have to switch back to LTE and go to 4g and then switch back again. Hope this helps
3g just started working and i did nothing (other than going without internet for hours until it started working).
im blaming Verizon and my local network.
I'd like the option... for battery life and signal issues. Probably the only thing I don't like about the atrix. Hopefully someone can come up with a mod, or if there's one out there fill me in?

If you want it more accessible, you can download Extended Controls from the Market and use a widget. One of the possible toggles is 2g>3g>4g toggle.

1)Go to dialer
2)Dial *#*#4636#*#*
3)Select Phone Information
4)Scroll down and change preferred network type from "GSM auto (PRL)" to "GSM only"
To change back, just change the setting back to the GSM Audo. Bit of a PITA compared to Froyo, but it works as far as I can tell.

Well like I said I'm on wifi all day and don't need LTE killing my battery for no reason. And, so I can still send or receive pictures.
LTE/Data is automatically disabled when you connect to wifi. No need to do anything. It will turn itself on automatically to receive/send mms.

That is Apple's "innovation" for you right there. This is Android. Android turns off cellular data when on wifi and only turns it on when needed for MMS.
You notice how when on wifi you don't see a 4g icon? Send an mms and you will see it pop up long enough for the message to be sent and then disappear.
That is your phone automatically enabling/disabling cellular data when needed/not needed.
Ok, well to get this back on track I'd like to force 2G or even 3G no matter what. Any solution for me?
Dial *#*#4636#*#* and hit phone information. Scroll down and in the drop down list and choose GSM Only. Reboot.

Nope. Even on wifi, say If you're sending or receiving MMS it will use your data (4G or LTE). Also, unless you have it turned on while the phone is asleep, your phone will switch back to 4G for downloading or synchronize data. 2G takes longer to download information because of he slower speed which causes the phone to drain battery because the phone would still be downloading the data.

I didn't do step 1 but i used the phone info app. I set it to what you said "CDMA AUTO (PRL). Now I'm on 3G!! Thanks man! Before I just selected "CDMA Only" and that gave me the 1x.
My main reason for wanting just 3G was my cap data plan. I don't have Internet at home and being on 4G LTE kills data faster. Not too concerned about my battery life, I have a RAZR Maxx lol but 3G does make it better and my 3G speeds are not bad at all. Thanks again! Really appreciate it!

4G allows you to do both.

The modem is restricted so you can't change the bands. It's set to switch to the best signal.
The idea of using 2G to save battery consumption is a wives tale. There isn't any difference anymore.
I would hope that's the only reason to want to switch to 2G!
But yeah, with current technology 3G/4G is no longer a battery killer like it once was. Especially on our state of the art awesome Galaxy Notes!
I do not agree with this entirely, because at college I only get 2g all the time! ANd my battery never gets below 75% when I am home it bounces from 3g/4g and even sometimes to 2g I live in a weird area lol...And my battery gets down to 30-35% when I am home doing the same things.....
The modem in the phone is on or off, and it doesn't downshift if it has to run on a lower band. It's like a light bulb -- on or off.
Don't take my word for it, google the topic and you can read what the engineers say.
You can't do the same things with 2G and 4G networks (at least not without pulling your hair out).
I must disagree with you, 2G and 4G switch is available in international GNote. So there is a way to swtch it. And if i am in zone of low 3/4G signal zone, it always switch to 2-3-4 G, so it also make the battery drain faster. In HOX AT&T there is a command you can dial some code and get into menu for switching Bands. There should be somthing like this in Note also.
There is a dial code for this modem but it is a restricted menu. You can't make a selection on it.

To get the option, you would need Samsung modem software and be able to edit the file and unrestrict the band selector. That is something that has never been leaked, unfortunately.
ranger captain is right, so...
this is what I did:
root
flash T-Mobile modem
*#2263#...
not sure if you are using att straight talk though.

That's actually a solution for this OP who wants 2G on Straight Talk network. If he follows your instructions, because of the hardware, all he will be able to get is EDGE connection for data.
