Now that I downloaded the OTA ICS update from HTC I can't find out how to switch my network to 2G like I could on gingerbread. Please tell me they did not disable this feature...?
Lol..
Settings > Mobile Network (don't click the on/off switch) press Mobile Network ... You'll find it from there.

I've spent ages looking for a widget which will allow me toggle between 2G and 3G. I have found a number that take you to the network menu but I want a one-click solution. Does one exist?
use any cut from the market and make your own

Sadly as far as i am aware there is no direct switch available... i have looked into this and it seems that there is no way at present to do this....
I too would like this function available without multiple clicks....
look up curvefish on the marketplace... they have one i believe.
How can I disable 3G and only use EDGE for Internet Connections?
Maybe it safes some battery as mine sucks like hell... even more than my (old) iPhone4 which I try to replace but I am not yet convinced by this phone and OS yet...
I havent found it too ..
on android phones its in main settings, wireless and networks, then hit the use 2g only checkbox.
Go to Settings/Wireless Network/Mobile Network/Network Mode/ Select GSM ONLY.
That will get you 2g data. Hit the thanks button if it helps.

I found this setting but thought this would disable all internet connection...
Is there any 2G 3G switcher app for g3 .... Most of the apps in maket just take you to the setting menu where non Samsung / galaxy phones can choose between 2g and 3g.. but since we dont have that option is there a work arnd, ??? i baiscally want to be in 2g mode till i unlock the phone.... no point paying for data and losing battery at the same time....
You could use tasker to automate this. It is not free, but worth every cent. I for example use tasker to switch to 2g when screen is off and to 3g when its on. Due to some problems with cm7 on sgs it takes some seconds, but i am pretty sure it works well on g3

thanks will chk that too
Got Tasker still figuring it out its not the simplest app out there
I have a question... is there a switecher or something between 2g, 3g, 4g etc? I mean is there possibility to turn on only 2g mode to less battery consumption or sth like that?
Sent from the future
there is an unofficial way.
Dial ##3282# and it will open up a field test mode. Click on the three dots at the bottom and then go to settings. You can then set your Network type to what you prefer from automatic. To make it stick, turn Toggle ENS (reboot required) to Off. Back out of Field Test and then turn off/turn on your phone.
PROTIP: Add ##3282# as a contact and pin it to the screen for easy access.
I thought that it's little easier, i mean without phone restarts etc, but ok, thanks for advice.

Supposedly the carriers required that the switch be removed.

Under Settings->Cellular, there is an option to set "Highest Connection Speed". Options are LTE, 3G and 2G. Would that not work for you?

I can't check this because i dont have this phone right now. Im going to buy it but i read that battery consumption is quite big so i decided to ask you about network switcher, because it can save a lot of energy

Hello,
I want to turn off the 4.5G network, but want to i use a 4G network.
4G+ consumes too much power and battery draining so fast.
How do I turn off the 4.5G network?
I searched a lot but I couldn't find the answer.
Thanks in advance.

Maybe this working,, download "set edit(settings database editor)" from market then open it,, look for this line " hw_networkmode_preference" then click on this line then choose "edit value" clear all then put 11 and reboot,, after that from settings > mobile data > preferred network mode and you will see more options, maybe this help..
Important :
Before you edit anything or that line take screen shot first from the old values ,, In case you like to go back to it.. and don't edit anythings else,,
I think you cannot turn it off 4G+ and maintain 4G only. It is related to the network.
You can't disable 4G+ but you can choose and lock a specific 4G band. You need to root your device for that. In Qualcomm smartphones you can download "Network Signal Guru" app from Play Store then give root permission to lock a band and get rid of 4G Plus.
Please turn off my 4G Plus
There is a app Samsung Band Selection. I was able to block LTE+. But only for Samsung I think, try. I'm probably EM lte+ sensitive. I feel like burning in fingers when lte+ is on...

Bro the drawback is that the app should be kept running is not there any permanent solution or other setting without keeping the app running in background

You don't need to keep that app, you can uninstall it after the locking procedure.

What about non root phones is there any solution for them?

There's no solution for non rooted Qualcomm based smartphones. Some smartphones based on MediaTek & old Samsung smartphones used to support band lock without root.
