Is there a way to switch between networks? Does the s4 even connect to 3g?
I ran a switch app that use to let me do it on the thunderbolt, and used built in notification bar switch in cm10 on g' nexus. Any solutions for the s4?

I used the app shown here to access the phone info.
Go into "Device information" and choose either "CDMA auto (PRL)" [for 3G only] or "LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)" [for 4G/3G] under "Set preferred network type".

Awesome, thanks. This look exactly like lte switch for thunderbolt.

It looks like you already have this solved, but I strongly recommend you download Widgetsoid. Additionally, I also strongly recommend installing it as a /system app; this enables a lot of the toggles to function correctly.
Does this still work? Where exactly is "Device information" these days?

HI Folks!
I am wondering if someone knows How to set The Network mode to GSM/UMTS?
Navigating the phone tree:
Settings ---> Wireless & Network Settings --> Mobile Networks ---> Network Mode-->
Option Available:
Sprint Only!
Any CDMA!
Any GSM/UMTS
Automatic!
NO matter if I change it or not always when I reboot my phone it goes to CDMA or Automatic but always looks for CDMA.
I am using the photon with UMTS 850mzh so I need to know how to set that by default or how to hold that setting in the phone.
Also I would like to permantly Disable the "Roaming Guards" I am tire of switch off those thing everytime I reset the phone!
Thanks a lot!
p.d phone rooted and Activation thing disabled.
BOMB! bomb!
Set GSM UMTS
Dial *#*#4636#*#* -> Phone Information and select GSM auto (PRL)
Menu>settings>wireless&networks>mobile networks>roaming guards and clear the appropriate check boxes and that should solve your issue.

I am one of the lucky ones that lives/works in an EDGE only area. Is there a way to disable 3G/4G and just use EDGE? Under Mobile Networks, I can uncheck 'use packet data', choose 'access point names' (currently set to epc.tmobile.com) or select 'network operators'.
I saw various talks of it on other devices, but wanted to know for sure what my options were on the GS3.
Thanks.
It's in the hidden menu to change your network settings.
Dial *#*#4636#*#*
Select Device information
Scroll down to network preference
I believe "GSM only" will take you down to edge.

Thanks for the info! It was set to "GSM auto (PRL)". I went ahead and set it to GSM only, rebooted, and it held that setting. Guess we'll see if that helps any on the battery life too :good:
Kind of ridiculous that this option isn't easily available, as it was before
When I had my nexus one and nexus s I could create a shortcut with bettercut called phone info. It took me to a screen that allowed me to select GSM/wcdma or wcdma only along with a few more options. Where I work it switches from "4g" to edge constantly which I'm sure is draining the battery. I want to lock it to wcdma only but can't create the same shortcut. I'm not sure if it has a different name on gs3 or if the option just isn't there. Any help would be appreciated.

Found an app called network in the play store took me to the device info screen and I was able to select wcdma only.

A friend of mine just got a droid razr, updated it to 4.0.4 and is telling me that under the network mode option menu there is no "cdma only"..just "LTE/cdma and global", she is in an area that has 4G and doesnt want it on bc of battery drain. Anyone else know of this glitch or how to turn 4G off? Thank you.

Thank you, she was able to use a toggle app earlier but I still am confused as to why "cdma only" is missing from the network mode menu. It doesn't make sense..

Probably Verizon's way of forcing people to use more data.

Hi,
As I have some problems at home with 3G, I wanted to set my preferred network to GSM as explained here. In that article, the way to access the "Phone Info" is to dial "*#*#4636#*#*". However, that does absolutely nothing on my phone (stock 4.1.2).
Searching this forum suggests that there is an application called "Any Cut" that can give a shortcut to that menu. However I just can't find that app on Google Play anymore. Does anyone know another way to to access that menu?

Re: [Q] How to access "Phone Info" menu?
You can search for something like '2G/3G switch', and you can find apps you're looking for.
Or you can just go to Settings -> Mobile networks -> Network mode -> GSM only.

Thanks, but that is not what I want (manually change between 2G/3G). I want to change the preferred network type to "GSM Auto (PRL)". It seems that I need to access the "Phone Info" menu somehow...
I would be interested too. Anyone knows?
M looking for the same thing, [ the preferred network is set to WCDMA and my SIm is a GSM one ] however the difference is in my mobile(micromax A101) the preferred network option is disables, recently I downloaded an app from play store , its "Network' there I can see a preferred network drop down list, but no matter whatever mode I choose its changing back to WCDMA immediately after selecting. Guys any clue what am I supposed to do?
Yes you can
You need to download a ROM and apply this:

Works really good.
I don't know why is't in all cooked roms....
