Hi all,
Please can someone find a way of disabling the Edge connection / 2G in CM10?
There must be a file I can edit that will then only allow 3G connections + WiFi.
I have tried the 2G /3G switch, but that doesn't work..
I'm desperate!

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

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?

Where I live has spotty coverage. Doing anything on EDGE is so painfully slow, I open have to flip airplane mode on then off so I can at least browse XDA properly

I need app or something for getting 2G/3G only data connection or 1x/Evdo on cdma. Please suggest me something...
Sent from my PG86100
Yeah please close this topic.
I have try 1x data connection, and that is worse battery drain than evdo connection.
You can try by your self but need unlocking code for edit the preferred data connection. ( Type ##DATA# on dialer)

There a s/w name speedtest in play store.. you can check the speed.
Depending on the area.. normal Edge goes till 30KB/s and Hsdpa will give you speed more than 1Mbps.

Which options to choose?
I kind of have a follow up question. I rarely use mobile network for data and use only wi-fi. But at those rare time that I do I wanna use the 3G network and rest the time when I have got my data off I want the phone to use the 2G network for voice and sms services. So how do I go about it? Right now I have selected " Use 2G only" and " GSM only" in the wireless and network settings.

Whichever Rom you are using.. you will find the Toggle Option.
You can place it in notification power widget.. you switch 2g-3g-2g as per your need!!

I liked this toggle idea but it seems to have only "2G" or "2G/3G" option and not just "3G" option. That one comes only when I manually select "wcdma only" option in the settings. Any ideas on how to bring up just the "3G" option right in the toggle itself?
If you are using CM.. go to cm settings.. go to the option where you enabled toggle.. at the bottom you wil find the option of managing notification widgets. Im not using cm so cant get you the exact place but search a little.. you will find it there.
Edit: CM means cyanogenMod..
Hi all,
I am looking for an app to toggle between 2g n 3g network. There are rom which come with this feature but i need only this feature to work on my rom(which is wanam lite). This help a lot to save battery drain qhen 3g network is not required.
