Hi,
Guys I am from Pakistan and using Galaxy S3 I9300 International Version. Recently, all telecom operators of Pakistan have switch their networks to 3G. Nowadays, they are testing 3G services in some areas of major cities. They have told their customers to set their mobile settings to WCDMA for 3G services.
After setting to WCDMA, I receive 3G services without any issue but as soon as I leave the coverage area 3G plus Cellular Services switched off.
I change the settings to Auto GSM/WCDMA, but after that even in 3G coverage area I get Edge Services and not 3G.
Q) Is there any way, by which I can configure the option of Auto WCDMA/GSM with WCDMA Preferred ?
Anyone who can help out . . . . . !

hey all,
looking at getting this phone this weekend, but curious about the LTE.. I live in a rural area that doesnt have LTE, we will be on HSPA+ for a while yet. Carrier is Telus in Nova Scotia.
I have read that LTE is a bit of a battery hog, if there is no LTE in my area will the phone keep hunting for LTE?
Can i "disable" LTE and have it default to HSPA+?(primarily for battery consumption)
Thanks
EDIT: sorry i just notice the post about questions going in the Q&A, sorry, if a mod could move it, that would be great
Yes you can disable it. which carrier are you with?
Hi, I have the AT&T S3 and I've used the code *#2263# and selected WCDMA and the frequency, and now it stays on HSPA
I hope it helps!
Thanks thats what I was getting at (wasn't sure if you guys had that option or not) OP there is your method.
You can also get the app Phone Info to change your settings
Excellent Info! Thanks
Do you think the battery life will be better ?

hrmm...when I do that on my ATT S3 it just takes me to a screen that says RAT selection option is restricted.
I don't see any other options.

There was a way to get out of this before, I think it involves you taking out your sim card.
Ah, here it is. Try this!

Does this mean that some ATT phones have a different modem than other supposedly identical ATT phones??
i found there is no need to use codes, etc
Settings > More Settings > Mobile Networks > Network mode
Gives you 4 options
GSM/HSPA/LTE (Auto Mode)
GSM/HSPA (Auto Mode)
GSM Only
HSPA Only

For ATT phones this option is locked out. FYI. Tmo, Sprint and Verizon it's prolly not. Only annoying thing about ATT's version so far. My HOX is the same way.
Root and you can access it I think.

Hi, I'm using the At&t version of the S3 on another network (Claro) and the code works. Maybe something is different because of that?
Are you guys using this like I said earlier?

I tried this one but it doesn't work for me. I see the information and can run ping test but if I try to make a band change the new selection is not applied.
I'm only able to change it using *#2263# :/
Ohhhhhhh....OK.
idk *#2263# isnt working at all on my att phone.

be Clear ?
And For connecting 3G make sure you activated 3G Pack and Registered to 3G then only you will get to see 3G icon
and one more thing their is no these type of setting to use 3G in any ROM
there is about for using only 2G .
So Finally check your 3G pack or contact your Service center because i had used 3G no issue about ROM.

make sure you are doing it correctly..
go to wireless and network settings, go to mobile network..
'use only 2g network' should not be ticked..
and in network preference, choose "GSM/WCDMA (WCDMA preferred)" option or "WCDMA only" option
to see if 3g network is working or not, check the status of 'mobile network type'. it should be UMTS in about phone.
if still doesn't help then try any other ROM (other than stock) and see if in that ROM 3g network is working or not.. !
hi everyone, i am new on this site.
i recently got a new shv-e210s on hand. i used it around 2 weeks and i found some big problems with it. I CAN'T TALK ON THE PHONE MORE THAN 2-3 MINUTES it drops all the calls . it's there any fix, or can i convert it to GT-I9305?? HEL PLEASE i can pay to have it fix beacause io love this phone. thanks
No, you can't convert it. Sounds like a hardware fault, do a factory reset then flash the right firmware to test. Don't use any files for the i9300.

If you're using 4.3 jellybean there is an app in playstore as SKT Hidden menu on which u can go to network settings - Network mode - and select Wcdma all or GSM all which ever network u prefer
If you're using 4.4.4 kitkat u have to dial *#9090# and from network mode enable WCDMA or GSM

Data Network is fluctuating in this mode. But yes the Call doesnt drop any more
Guys, i finally found solution for our Moto G network data issue,
Previously i was using Xperia C where i can select 2g(GSM), 3G( WCDMA) , 3G+2G option.
But in our Moto G - 2G, 3G+2G option is there but complete 3G (WCDMA) is missing this means
If we select 3G, our phone will Select 2G when our phone finds full 2G network, it will switch to 3G only when it finds full network
"Network" yup this is solution
Network app just download this from play store and enjoy complete full
3G support :good:
