Anyone know how to force it to EDGE only? I tried *#*#4636#*#* and that didn't work? Any suggestions and the Network mode is absent from Mobile network?
response
Depending on the rom you are using but in all the roms i've used you just have to change on the mobile network options, the network mode to GSM Only and it will only connect on edge
Download samservmode, access the dev menu and search these forums for more info

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?
Hello Xda, i have been a dormant user of ROMs on my galaxy s2.
I liked the cyanogen stable mod 7 because of a unique setting where i could toggle the 2g network.
Believe me the place where i live, the 3g bandwidth is crappy and for my use i prefer the 2g network.
My question is , are there any other ROMs which allow such an option of toggling between 2g network.To be more precise i have attached a screenshot below.
Any help regarding this is appreciated. I am not looking for an app or tasker script that allows me to toggle 2g network. I am looking for a ROM other than the cyanogen mod 7.
Thank YOu
this option is available on all roms. it can be found under mobile networks settings on samsung roms. Network mode > GSM only
Hi. Pretty new in the android scene. I recently acquired an at&t motorola atrix from a friend. I work in Singapore so I needed at&t to give me the unlock code which they gladly provided.
I wanted to apply a custom rom so I followed the official cm7 rom -- procedure found in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257574. The procedure was clearly written down and any beginner such as myself can easily follow the steps.
My problem now is that I can only connect to the internet through GPRS only. I have the option to connect GSM/WCDMA, WCDMA only, GSM and GSM/WCDA/WCDMA. Whenever I select WCDMA which I understand is 3G, it does not show any 3G logo but it does show a couple of signal bars. I even installed or flashed both radios thinking it might solve the issue, but it did not. Now, I just did a clean install without installing/flashing any radios, but I can still connect to the internet through GPRS.
Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to have a special radio since I'm on Singtel Hi!card prepaid?
Kindly advise.
Either you don't have 3g coverage in your area.
You can try anycut from market. Then select new shortcut > Activity > phone info
Then select phone info shortcut. Then select wcdma only. Don't mess with other options. As it may brick your phone.

be Clear ?
And For connecting 3G make sure you activated 3G Pack and Registered to 3G then only you will get to see 3G icon
and one more thing their is no these type of setting to use 3G in any ROM
there is about for using only 2G .
So Finally check your 3G pack or contact your Service center because i had used 3G no issue about ROM.

make sure you are doing it correctly..
go to wireless and network settings, go to mobile network..
'use only 2g network' should not be ticked..
and in network preference, choose "GSM/WCDMA (WCDMA preferred)" option or "WCDMA only" option
to see if 3g network is working or not, check the status of 'mobile network type'. it should be UMTS in about phone.
if still doesn't help then try any other ROM (other than stock) and see if in that ROM 3g network is working or not.. !
Hi, I have a problem with using my phone to tether. I use a Galaxy S4 Verizon Unlocked and use the T-Mobile nano sim unlimited 4G LTE data.
This is my mobile info :
+ Model number : sch i545
+ android verson 4.3
+ baseband : i545VRUEMK2
+ built number : JSS15J.I545VRUMK2
+ rooted: yes
I can call, text, use the internet, but I can't tether! I have fast.t-mobile.com as the apn, and have tried epc.t-mobile.com as the apn also.
Here is where I get confused: When I set it on GSM, I can tether, but I only get up to 3G/H+ speeds, which max around .5mbps for me (I live in Portland). When I set it on LTE/CDMA, or Global, I get 4G LTE speeds, which gets up to 3-5mbps, but I'm not able to tether. I have tried numerous tethering apps, I really don't think it's the app; I've tried tethering to different computers also, and the phone itself seems to be the problem. When I factory reset, tethering on "Global" and "LTE/CDMA" works, but in the course of downloading apps and setting up LTE and my phone in general, tethering stops working. I was messing around with the settings yesterday, and DID get tethering to work both on "Global" and "LTE/CDMA", but then it stopped working again today. The error message when I can't tether is "cannot connect to DNS server".
I've searched forums all day, and have not found an answer.. Please help! Someone suggested finding a app. to change the network settings to GSM/LTE, but I couldn't find how to do that.
I also have an I545 on T-Mobile, 1gb/mo @ lte speed. Tethering works fine for me but can't afford the data it gobbles.
To set the preferred network, go to google play and download Advanced Signal Status. Run it. Look at the info then scroll to the bottom and click Additional Info, then Device Information. Look at all that other info then scroll down to Set preferred network type. LTE/GSM auto (PRL) works for me.
It might be that I'm rooted and the rom I'm using too.
Yesss it works
THANK YOU!! I downloaded the Advanced Signal Status app, then set it to LTE/GSM auto (PRL), setup a new APN "epc.t-mobile.com", set that as the active apn, then made it inactive and selected "fast.t-mobile.com" to be the active apn again, and VOILA! it works!
