Orignally the tablet I was given is a 4G LTE data. (couldnt do anything since I didnt pay for the plan yet. So I found a way to bypass the beginning and now I use nothing but wifi.
So if i want to install certain roms, should I use 4G or Wifi roms?

whats the beginning...from my understanding you can flash wifi roms on 3G tabs..just lose 3G...soooo i'm guessing you can do the same here.
The beginning, sorry, Is the part where you have to touch the android to activate your device. I bypassed that and now it work on wifi only unless i factory reset the tablet. So will putting 4g roms/wifi roms affect my connection to wifi?
Hi XDA Folk,
I've been searching for a way to disable the HSDPA but still use 3G for mobile internet. Just wanna clarify that I'm not asking how to set the Network Mode to 2G Only. We all know how to do that.
I'm searching for a way to keep it on 3G and not H when using the mobile internet. They used to have that option in Windows Mobile, which I found fantastic.
Before I get flamed with things like "Dude, H is like way more awesome than 3G!" and things like that. Here is the reason. In certain parts, where the signal is just is strong enough for 3G and only just making it for HSDPA, the signal constantly switches between 3G & H, and during the switching time it's not connected. Therefore, ideally, a way to have an option such as a 2G/3G/HSDPA toggle switch would be just perfect.
I don't mind doing some dirty work, just need some inspiration pointing me to the right direction.
Cheers,
Phugz
Not one person? Been hearing here and there that a previous version of CyanogenMod had this option or something.
Can anyone confirm?
I am pretty sure that there isn't an option currently out there, but it would be possible to develop.
Hmm, if I install the ROM that has this option, use LogCat to see what's happening when the switch is performed, it should be possible to recreate that switch, like a toggle widget.
Since no one seems to have an answer, I guess development seems like the best route. Thanks (to the mate ^)
I actually thought that on some of the first ice builds for miui.au there was an option to enable 3g only. It has since been changed to 2g only for power saving. Maybe check some of the early miui or sand old ics builds out.

hey can anyone reply this thread? I find this thread very helpful and i'm still in the process of looking for an answer. Will post when I manage to do it.
apparently the thread starter is from the same country as me. It is virtually impossible to use HSDPA network while travelling on the go (like the subway etc) because the phone is trying to find a HSDPA network instead of 3g even though 3g is full..
leaves us looking at other passengers' iphones with jealousy..
anyway @phugz I think cynogenmod can do it... I'm using HTC desire bravo edition btw.
LTE Disable
Cyanogenmod9 released their RC recently which I use and it has a settings feature that turns off LTE. I need to encode this feature as well (along with completely disabling the radio), the suggestion to watch log cat to see how Cyanogenmod does this seems the best I've found on the subject so far. But if you flash their ROM you will have the feature built into the notification screen, very handy.

settings/wireless and network/mobile network/network mode/ there you can chose from gsm/ hspa/ and gsm hspa as defalt. There my may also be something in the play store or some other non playstore app site.google is your friend
Thanks @DiazFlac and @liquidribs, not so much the other guy who I don't think really understood.
I'm on Sensation and using Sense, so I dunno bout moving to CM9, but if it's there means it's possible.. Having exams now so I think in the next couple of weeks I can test it out.
And yeah @liquidribs, it's a problem here in Singapore, especially with M1.
Really awesome that this thread is somehow still alive! Haha
I know that the Xperia S 3G cannot work on Tmboile but I am stuck in a 2 year contract with them that started fairly recently (due to certain family ciorcumstance).
I was wondering if there were some work arounds to get 3G speeds on the phone via Tmboile?
Is there a rom I can download or software that will enable my phone to work with Tmboile's 3g network? Perhaps some type of bootloader?
If not, what about wifi hotspots? Can I by a wifi hotspot and take it with me wherever i go in order to accesss the internet on my xperia via Tmobile? If so, how much does a wifi hotspot cost, and is it a monthly plan?
Would 2G work on the phone with Tmboile? If so, can I still stay connected to the internet 24/7 and get RSS feeds, news, surf the web, emails, etc etc by using the broweser on the Xperia S? Do i need a data plan to make 2G work via Tmboile?
Your help is very appreciated.

From what I understand, the Xperia S will not work on T-Mobile's 3G but 2G only.
However, AT&T 3G seems to work on this device with some tweaks (which I have no idea what to do).
I also have T-Mobile and I absolutely love the S' design. I might have to move to AT&T...
Hello I am running alliancerom and I do not get 3g. Is there a modem for that where i get 3g and 4g on tmobile? when my phone was on the internation rom it got 3g/h+ ect. Is there a modem for it? Im running alliancerom's newest version on xda. Any imput would be great. Thank you.
H=3g H+=4g
Stock ROM (or network indicator unmodified ROMs) always show 4g. You don't see the 3g because it's pointless to show and only being used when no data activity is happening. 3g on T-Mobile is now only used for low data communication that doesn't require high speed data. It's like that to save power.

Hello guys, am having this particular model and the pain is I don't have lte yet in my country but we have 3g networks operating here. Ever since I had this phone, I have not been able to turn the 3g on. It always run on edge. I have use the key combination to bring back the hidden TESTING option trying to change it to wdcma only but the network does show even though it does on a different fone. Was running 4.2.2 and it was having the same issue. Thought I could get the 3g after flashing the 4.4.2 but it still the same issue.
I Need help guys since the edge runs very slow in terms of data speed.
