2g Only Switch Not Working - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As the title says, if I turn on 2g only I still get 3g or H and H+.
Anyone else experience this or fix it?
I'm on stock everything currently.

Bump, anyone?

Do you use a widget to switch 2G/3G or do you mean the option in the settings?

Maybe call your service provider to check if the settings are correct.

What is this weird icon on my status bar?

It looks like wifi but with left/right arrows, the wifi one has up/down arrows
Thoughts?

Then LINK to it. Might be others with same question.
This is the icon for Wifi direct.
You can turn it off by going into:
Settings->more settings->and there you will see Wifi direct being on
Cheers

Anyone else getting no data?

Just wiped/flashed the base and now I get no data anywhere. Checked all the settings and everything but I can only make calls, text and use WiFi. Does anyone have this problem?

did you try toggling your LTE using the LTE swtich available in TheBase? if yes, you'll need to edit your build.prop to correct the issue.

Man I had this issue today. I could not figure out why data wasn't working. Then I looked in settings > data usage, and noticed that in the top right, mobile data was off! Didn't know there was a switch for it on that screen.

Yea I caught that but it was already on. Thanks for the support though

Have you tried removing the SIM card then putting it back in?
Tried that too. Didn't work

Hi, could you solve it. I´ve just bought the phone and I´m facing the same problem. I don´t have anything in the APN and I don´t have the option to define it.
Every time I lose my data, I fix it by turning Airplane mode on. Then I reboot my phone (with airplane mode still turned on) and when it finishes I turn airplane mode back off and everything is fine again. Hope that works for you?

WiFi signal boost !?

Is this even possible? Does an app have the ability to increase wifi signal and get 40-50% faster internet ?

Umm the description says its a placebo prank app

i think that isn't possible with app, you must change kernel or firmware.
Any app stating it increases reception/WiFi/GPS or anything dealing with hardware is false. There is apps to get a faster lock on GPS. But that's about it.
