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.

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

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

Does your connection auto-switch between wifi and 3g?
I was out earlier and the wifi was still locked onto to my home network yet I was no where near home. I wasn't able to browse etc as there was obviously no connectivity. I would have expected it to switch over to 3g or H.

Anything I might be doing wrong? Or settings that may need tweaking?

Could it be down to the fact that I have gps turned off so phone cannot track position? Do you leave this on permanently and if so what's the battery drain like with it on?
Let's get some response on this please. I would like to determine if I have a faulty device and whether I need to start arranging a return.
Thanks
I have GPS on, but it doesn't use any battery unless an app tries to use it. But I don't think this has anything to do with your issue. There aren't any settings that I've changed. Try a reboot.

Y5 Saver
There's a very good app called Y5 Saver - https://market.android.com/details?id=pl.polidea.y5 which autoturns your wifi on/off depending whether your in the proximity of the wifi router (uses network triangulation).
Only issue is that it seems to override 'airplane mode'.
A noob question guyzz...
i have LWW, how can i switch 2g to 3g or vice-versa, bcs i cnt understsnd, in my network settings it says preferred selection as wcdma/gsm, gsm only, wcdma only, wat shud i do to switch as per usage !!
Sent from my WT19i using xda premium
wcdma is 3g, gsm is 2g... if you want 3g whenever it's possible, select wcdma/gsm... if you want 3g only, select wcdma only (when 3g is not available, the phone won't switch to 2g and you won't be able to call)... if you want 2g only, select gsm only

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,
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!
