Hi ,everybody.
Is there have a tools (shortcuts) can be use to enable/disable 3G network on photon 4G.I'm working at china, Just only using 3G networks.
Thank you in advance.
Yes the 3g data can be disabled.
It has been discussed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197081&highlight=data
Personally I use Tasker to disable my 3g network but that program costs money. You can also just go to Settings --> Battery & Data Manager --> Data Delivery --> and uncheck where it says Data enabled.
It's exactly what I wanted. I achieved my purpose by using Widgetsoid2.x which you told me.
Thank you, sub2k1.

Hi Guys, I got fond of the Hero a lot. and requested a friend to get one for me on his way from london (sim free, unlocked)
1 thing concerns me is the data consumption over 2g networks as its quite expensive here
I need to know if I can stop data transfer without affecting calling ability???
this is crucial in my decision to buy
Appreciate your clear and quick responses.

Settings > Wireless Controls > uncheck "Mobile Network" > Qapl'a!
you can even put a Mobile Network Toggle on the desktop to just switch it on and off.
Whilst off, you can still send and receive SMS and calls, but not MMS.

does shutting mobile network shut data only?
the toggle is native
no you don't need to root the phone
yes, it only shuts off mobile data (including MMS), this is why it's called mobile data, and not airplane mode. Wifi is unaffected.
Data Roaming
Hi everyone,
We've just started using the Hero at work as a business phone, a lot of our employees travel internationally on a regular basis.
Using our old WinMo phones, picking up emails whilst roaming was automatically disabled by default but could be manually sync'd with our exchange server if required.
On the Hero, there doesn't seem to be a similar function. You have to go in to the Mobile Network settings and disable 'Data Roaming'.
My question is, if I disable 'Data Roaming' but still have 'Enable Always-on Mobile Data' active, will any downloaded apps still be able to connect and update i.e Twitter gadget for instance? Or does disabling 'Data Roaming' stop data connections full stop?
The ideal scenario for us would be something that is quick and easy to turn off (or turn on) that would prevent any data connection but will let us open up the Mail app and sync manually with our exchange server if required (like we could with WinMo).
I currently have the Toggle Selector app on my home screen to quickly get to the Mobile Network settings. I'm just not sure what to enable/disable in the settings menu that will let me get mails manually and prevents all other data connections.
Any advice or suggestions would be more than welcome. It's got us scratching our heads a little and is stopping us from upgrading other staff phones as we don't want to end up with a phone we can't use as a business tool internationally as it costs us the earth in data roaming charges.
The easiest way i can think of would be to have the toggle on screen, and when you want to sync, you turn it on, manually refresh the emails and then turn it off again.
if you have data roaming blocked, it will override the 'always on mobile data' setting, so no, when roaming is turned off, nothing will connect when you are abroad.
honestly though, android is not ready for business really, which is why HTC are pitching it at the consumer market mainly.
I am in the same position, just want to be clear, with the "toggle" will it stop all data? (including browser, mms texts, apps updating) i only want these when i have wifi.
thanks in advance
to make it absolutely clear:
When at home,. turn mobile data off and NOTHING can access GPRS.
When roaming on another network when abroad, turn data roaming off and GPRS is blocked. To access GPRS, you have to turn data roaming AND mobile data on to access GPRS.
The Data roaming toggle has precedence over the Mobile data toggle.
Thank you, appreciate it
I have noticed toggling mobile networks occurs twice. What I mean is, after toggling a couple of times, I cannot seem to coonnect to 3g anymore? In that case I always have to restart my phone. Anyone experiencing this issue? It could be a bug. I used To have a blackberry bold and that bug was fixed by an update
Hi there,
I have searched and searched but I can't find anything. I know it's an unusual request but is there an app (or even some simple built-in functionality or a reg tweak) that allows you to enable all data roaming on the HTC?
The reason for this is that, in UK T-Mo and Orange are now network sharing. I am on T-Mobile but when my reception is low the service switches to Orange.
Problem is that my phone thinks it is roaming when it switches to Orange and this messes with my data services. I cannot figure out which of those services are set to disable data in roaming aas I'm not sure where to look.
I'd be happy to set all of my apps to download while roaming as I have NoDataInRoam installed for when I go abroad. The rest of the time I do want to download data when 'roaming'!!
Any help anyone? I know it seems dumb, sorry.

Have a look in the settings tab in sense, there is an option for Data Services. Go to each service you use and enable the check box Download When Roaming. Hope this helps.
Hello everyone,
How can I easily turn off 3g and on 2g on android 2.3.3? I'm on Wolfbreak's ROM which works perfectly, but when I'm not actively using my phone I would like to set it to use 2g only.
When I googled I found this way, but I'm hoping for a more easy solution:
1. Dial *#*#4636#*#*
2. Phone informatie
3. Set Preferred Network Type:
- GSM only = 2g
- WCDMA preferred = 3g
Does anyone know a more easy way to set my phone to 2g?
Hi there, go to settings ----> wireless & networks -----> Mobile Networks -----> Network Mode. Hope that helps.

It helps, a lot easier! ;-) In previous Android version you could turn off the 3g box, I couldn't find that one!
Hi,
i use the app Quick Settings for turn on and off
greets
I read everywhere that since 2.3.3 switching between 2g and 3g is not possible anymore, all the switch apps only place shortcuts to the settings menu.
The only one that really has this feature is a CM ROM.
Is there any way on a rooted non CM ROM to place a widget that can switch between 2g and 3g just by pressing it?
HI Folks!
I am wondering if someone knows How to set The Network mode to GSM/UMTS?
Navigating the phone tree:
Settings ---> Wireless & Network Settings --> Mobile Networks ---> Network Mode-->
Option Available:
Sprint Only!
Any CDMA!
Any GSM/UMTS
Automatic!
NO matter if I change it or not always when I reboot my phone it goes to CDMA or Automatic but always looks for CDMA.
I am using the photon with UMTS 850mzh so I need to know how to set that by default or how to hold that setting in the phone.
Also I would like to permantly Disable the "Roaming Guards" I am tire of switch off those thing everytime I reset the phone!
Thanks a lot!
p.d phone rooted and Activation thing disabled.
BOMB! bomb!
Set GSM UMTS
Dial *#*#4636#*#* -> Phone Information and select GSM auto (PRL)
Menu>settings>wireless&networks>mobile networks>roaming guards and clear the appropriate check boxes and that should solve your issue.

Someone had success installing toggle 2g in gingerbread At&t rom?
I already tried, but didn't work.....
Dev of the software only guarantee on CM6 and CM7 but I dont want to install this rom, due to lack of resources (webtop, fingerprint, etc).......
Someone can help?

From what I understand based on the CM7 issue list, switching to 2g in the US is not working because of AT&T. You apparently have to call and enable it.
Here in Brazil it works...I can switch manually between GSM Only, Automatically or 3G Only.....but this app called Toggle 2G can do it automatically when we put in sleep mode....it's better because save much battery.....

have you called and enabled this on your phone, i am curious if you have it working and what you asked them to enable?
On my stock AT&T which I'm using here in Oz,
Settings->Wireless & Networks->Mobile networks->Select network was disabled and wouldn't let me change it.
Take a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14494826&postcount=24
Now all the toggle apps work.

I saw this thread before and even got the options ungreyed, yet selecting 2g changes nothing here in us
Well, I have not used that app, but *#*#4636#*#* then phone info, and then preferred network should work.
Is what I always do in areas with poor 3G coverage. I switch to GSM. And vice verse, in areas with good 3G coverage I set it to WCDMA only.
Sorry, I didn't realise OP had already unlocked the 'Select network' menu and it works.
I didn't find an app that would toggle 2g/3g automatically on a stock ROM. I just installed the 2G-3G OnOff widget that's a shortcut to the 'Select network menu, and I manually toggle it when in bad signal area.
I couldn't install it on my german Atrix with french stock rom. After installing the Toggle2G-Update.zip with CWM the app simply doesn't appear in the drawer.
Those of you who were successful, what did you do?
Thanks!
