can someone please tell me how to use gsm on a photon running cyanogenmod 7
I'm not familiar with CM, but it shouldn't be that hard. Just set up your APN at Mobile Network Settings and this is it.
On your phone's dialler, enter *#*#4636#*#*
Tap Phone Information and then scroll down to "Set preferred network type". Choose GSM only...
That should work for you.

Hi all, I updated my phone via kies mini to j16, now I cannot find the 2G option. I need this because I cannot make or receive calls while I'm in my basement unless I'm on 2G. Anyone having trouble finding it? Have they completely removed this?

I believe it's just be reworded. The option you're looking for is "GSM only" under Settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile Networks > Network Mode
Give it a try.

It's J EYE 6, not J ONE 6. Anyway...
Not removed, improved IMO but not terribly user friendly I suppose.
Under "Mobile Network Settings", tap "Network Mode".
AUTO = 2G/3G
GSM Only = 2G only
WCDMA Only = 3G only
Hope it helps...
EDIT: Oops, it looks like I missed being post #2 by ~ 2 Minutes.
Ahh thanks

Hi, im running freeX10 beta4 and i need to be able to run my phone in 3g only. There ismt the option in this rom, you can set to 2g only though.
Thing is i need to force it only to use 3g. Is there a known way? I dont mind editing the phones xml
Any help on this matter is apreciated

Get a toggle like widgetsoid from the market! Then you can toggle 3g and 2g
Thanks mate ill give it a try
Edit- does not work, only links you to settings, and 2.2 doesn't give you a 3g only option
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
go to testing settings from dial pad type *#*#4636#*#*
then scroll down and change where it says set preferred network type try WCDMA only shouldn't drop down to 2G from that
@xepter, thanks lot it workedike a charm ;p
Sometimes my phone kicks me back to 2g which can be a pain when im dl, this saves me

Hey folksI need help. Is there a way to select just the 3g bands?
Here's where I'm stuck:
Dail *#*#4636#*#*
Click phone information
Go down to preferred network type
Select 'WCDMA only '
Now what?

If you did that, you are done!
Just press the home screen and you should be set for 3g only. This screen do not have any save option. As soon you get out of the screen your settings will be saved.
If you are with AT&T, you are still on 2G anyway!
i just add the INFO code as a contact on the phone, that way i can switch between preferred 3g (gsm auto prl), forced 3g (wcdma only) and forced 2g (gsm only) at will. by dialing INFO and just touch the resolved contact.
Whats the benefit?
It's not working for me. I'll keep trying though! Thanks
Francis can you post a step by step guide on how to do this?

Cool down guys! I am meditating . LOL
use the toggle on status bar to switch to only 3g mod in cm9
or dial in phone *#*#4636#*#* go to phone info and switch to whatever network type you want or like fd said go to settings > more > mobile network > network mode and choose wcdma only

@OP: I think you can just leave "Use only 2G networks unchecked" and you should be good to go. But I might be wrong
I have it on p-one that is miui on cm9.
3g preferred, 2g only, 3g only.
I remember also cm9 has it but maybe I'm wrong.
Usually I switch between 2g and 3gpreferred, never used 3g only.
if your rom doesn't have network mode you can use that code or the toggle from statusbar any method have the same result

There isn't even a "Network" option under "more". The closest thing to "network" that is there is "mobile networks" and even under that there is no "network mode" option.

hello. i have a moto g 16gb version. actually i want to use only 3g at my location. but my phone is set to preferred 3g mode which means that it uses 3g only when 3g signals are good. so there is no option of using only wcdma or 3g. also tried the phone testing app but no gain. plz solve this.
Settings>more>mobile networks>network mode and change it
(it's in ics menu, don't know about kitkat)

Try this.
In the dialer, press *#*#4636#*#*,
choose phone information,
change WCDMA only.
Turn the radio off and on again.
This may help.
Good luck.

i have done this metod. when i choose any option there it automatically changes to gsm only mode.
So check that did you tick "Use only 2G to save battery" option in mobile network setting.
