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!

So I installed cyanogentazz v8 the other day. I decided to check and make sure my phone was using the right radio band so I did the following:
Dialed *#*#4636#*#* > phone info and radio was set to wcdma. So I switched to cdma auto prl and then menu > select radio band. It forced close as it should. I turned the screen off for while, then I check again and it was set to gsm. I had not restarted the phone it anything like that. I switched back to cdma auto prl and turned the screen off again. A few minutes later it was set to wcdma.
Now my question is could the app toggle 2g be doing this? That's really the only thing I can of that would change the radio band. Any insight would be great.

I just changed the band and hit the back button and rebooted. I didn't do Menu > Change Radio Band. When I dialed back into the settings, it was still at prl cdma auto.
Not sure what wcdma is.. anyone know?
Checked again and it went back to wcdma. Something is changing my radio band...

Yes, Toggle 2G will reset the network type. However, new in version 0.0.8 I added an option to pick which network type to use for 2G and 3G modes. Just open the settings and set 3G to cdma auto prl

Thank you for your answer. And thank you for creating this awesome app. Saves me loads of battery without the hassle of turning data off manually every time I turn my screen off!!

I'm on CELB Froyo 2.1 and since changing my radio band from wcdma preferred (default on rom) to cdma auto (prl)(default on stock), my battery life has been crap!
Can someone explain this?
Thanks.
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 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!

Is there a way to create an APN that will force me to run on 2g only? I cant seem to find a toggle for 2g/3g. I downloaded an app by curvefish but it just takes me to the APN list when I click the widget, so that makes me wonder if I can create a 2g APN.
I am trying to convince my cousin to leave apple, but his one holdout is that he has to be able to toggle to 2g. I would like to see how my phone runs in 2g at work, since I work in a large steel building. I've tried *#*#4636#*#* but it just reverts. If an APN cant be set up for GSM I either need a step by step on how to get my APN to not be set to auto, or maybe a script or an apk. ANY info would be greatly appreciated.
38 views and no response, does anyone have any good info on a 2g toggle that works on an atrix?
do you mean 'edge'?

Yes, I mean 2g/edge.
I have been told that it is not possible on the atrix. Changes to data on this phone don't stick.
With 4636 code, if it revert, your rom has some prob. 4636 works properly with me.

Hi
I just got Galaxy S2 att but I am in Europe, and since I don't use phone only for calls & sms I wonder if there is an option to permanently set phone to use GSM only?
I know the trick with ...4636... menu, where I can set to use gsm, but when I restart my phone it goes back to umts again.
Is there some hack to open that menu in "mobile networks" or should I use international rom?
I'd find what db it edits when you do that then make init.d script to make that edit every time you boot.

The phone should technically revert to edge. You see the phone by default is set to 3g prefered meaning in these situations in which roaming in another country and the frequency bands do not match or cannot find 3g in the area that in which your phone uses "att". It would in this case revert to a lower spectrum until it finds one your phone uses. So in this case it should be automatically reverting to edge when you hopped off the plane, boat, canoe, whatever.

I have 3g signal but it's love, and i have seen posts that 3g uses more battery, so since i don't use data i want be able to force phone to use gsm only.
I have tried *#*#4636#*#* but it won't switch to gsm, stays at 3g.
I got the same problem, dude. Still find no way...Using UNNAMED 2.2.1...
You can check you wireless setting menu--> Mobile network to see if there is an option for you to choos Use 2G only.

unfortunately there is no option to choose 2g because that menu option is gray, i can't even open it.
i am also using unnamed 2.2.1
Try *#2263# and in menu choose gsm only, then it will use only gsm network. Bu again, when you restart the phone it goes back to umts

This is pretty simple, go to the dialer and enter;
*#*#4636#*#*
Click on Phone Information
Scroll down to Set preferred network type
Select that one that you want
hit back
My phone kept switching to edge because the wcdma signal in my area is very low but 3 bars of edge is worse than 1 bar of hsdpa+ (no lte in enterprise al) so I choose wcdma only and I always have signal. You can set preferences or choose certain signals only but be aware if you change to a specific signal only and it's not there you will loose service... If you ever need to reset the settings and can't remember the code removing the sim card and reinstalling it resets back to default.
Here's where I found this I take no credit but I can confirm it works on the at&t version of the One.

I thought I saw it in the user manual. Looking at tech specs, no LTE. I read this thread because I wanted to disable Edge, I would rather have no data connection at that time then the frustration of NOTHING connecting on edge.

This is all I get.
Awesome! I just got mine today (Australian version) and don't have the mobile carrier menu, which I think is ridiculous. This did the trick for me to disable LTE
This is the procedure I have used to disable LTE after finally figuring out that my "missed calls with no notification whatsoever" issue (unless caller leaves a VM) was caused by having LTE enabled. Something to do with the One having to switch to HSDPA for voice and the handoff not working right. Sucks not using LTE but I can't be missing calls....
Works a treat, too bad we have to dive into a Service Menu to choose our network preferences.... Thanks ATT...

How long will this maintain your selected network? I've used this many times on past phones, but carrier settings have frequently reverted the setting automatically. at the least, it will reset itself on boot (which isn't necessarily that big of a deal, unless you're Dev-ing and rebooting frequently.). If rooted, there are a number of ways to be able to easily select your desired connection type and have it stick. glad to hear this has worked for your needs so far.

It will revert back after air plane mode/disabling data and on restarts. I just use the app if I notice I'm on edge which is rare and pretty obvious. This is my first smart phone ever since my htc excaliber windows phone that I haven't run unofficial software on. it's just a great package and I feel I'll deal with more issues rooted than I do stock. Can't wait for 4.3 next week the ONLY thing I miss is battery percentage in notification bar lol
I would like to have WCDMA/GSM (auto), but that option is not present.
I'm guessing WCDMA preferred would do the trick? I currently have GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto but I don't use LTE..

Here's a little trick for anyone that's rooted - If you want to be able get the Preferred network mode list when selecting Settings>Mobile Data>Network Mode, you have to change your sku ID in /system/customize/ACC/default.xml. Using a text editor (I always just use the text editor built in to Root Browser), find
Code:
<item type="integer" name="sku_id">7</item>
almost at the end. 7 is ATT's sku, and gives you things like ATT's Data Icons and lying signal bars, but will also enable the NFC icon in the status bar when it's on and remove the Preferred Network mode from Settings. Changing this to 11 will set it as TMobile - Tmo data icons and other tmo settings (I believe T Mobile has the Preferred Network mode settings as well). Changing it to 42 will set it with WWE device settings, so you'll get generic HTC data icons, signal bars that actually work, network mode settings, etc. Obviously Save and Reboot after making the change.
