[Q] Setting network selection to manual as default - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am wondering if there is a possibility (some tweak/registry change) to set the option (found at Settings-All-Personal-Phone-Network) Network selection to Manual instead of Automatic. Every time I restart the device, the option is set to Automatic. This causes a problem due I live near the boarder and every time I loose domestic signal, the phone connects into the roaming which I did not want.
Thanks in advance.

Would of thought that would be tricky as radio takes time to initialize on boot plus the manual option require manual selection of operator !
Can you not control this by 'Set Networks' settings for networks chosen & unticking ones don't want connect to, I had similar issue with a roaming sim I wanted on specific network & it worked for me.

Thank you for answering, but
1. I can not find a option "Set networks" in (in Settings-Phone-Network) which can be unticked,
2. I need sometimes (by going abroad) also this operator, so I do not want to cut him off complete.
I thought there must be a tweak possibility to start the device with manual network selection. A lot of phones remember the last choice Automatic/Manual after restart...

well it in phone settings > network & right by side of the drop down to select auto or manual network selection 'Set Networks' .
Don't think you will get it to work as smoothly as you would like but worth having a play with this setting if you find it, any network operators unchecked can be rechecked when needed.
You could also try another radio version such as one in my signature ...

[Q] How to set 3g network as default, and permanently disable Data Guard

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.

[Q] How to avoid 4G / 3G connection?

Since i got my OG, i always have used 3G / 4G connection
but sometimes i want save some battery and use EDGE or GPRS connection as many people here in Brazil does, but i dunno how!
how to do that?
thanks!
-settings
--wireless and networks
---mobile network
----network mode
-----GSM only
that's it
didn't have this "Network mode" in my phone...
some alternative way to do that?
*#*#4636#*#* in dialer, phone info, set to GSM Only.
Sent from my LG-E970
To get the network mode menu you can edit build.prop if you're rooted.
A tool like "Android Tuner Free" makes it easy to backup your build.prop and change it, if you don't already have a favored method.
The entry to change is "ro.radio.networkmode" and it is probably set to "disable". Set it to "enable", reboot your phone, and you will have the network mode menu available. But, I'm pretty sure changes made in this menu revert upon rebooting (maybe that is what the next setting in there, "ro.radio.topreviousmode" is for - I didn't touch it).

[Q] Changing preferred network operators?

I was wondering if there is a way to permanently select a operator?
My network operator (Play) allows free roaming on other carriers inside the country (Orange, Plus, T-Mobile)
I get horrible signal in my work and at home with my "home" carrier and I always roam on one of the others. But I have to manually select that network and every so often I get a "refreshing SIM" message and it switches back to my home carrier (Play) which then gives me 0 bars. I then have to go into settings and select a roaming partner all over again (and this happens at least 2x/day)
Is there a way (either by editing a file/deleting a file or some app) that I can force my phone to only and always roam and not connect to my home network?
pssss.... there is top secret solution... when you will be in the roaming range, go to mysterious hidden menu, called: Settings.
Then, in the section called Network, go to the Mobile networks sub section.
When you'll be there, you possibly would find the most hidden secret feature: Network operators selection mode.
when you will enter this one, you can choose between manual and automatic operator selection.
Please do not populate this advice, is for highly advanced users only, and because of that it is hidden so deeply... in the secret document called: Owner Manual.
haha funny. But if you read my post you'll see I do manually select the network, but it still kicks it over to the home network every day.
if you unticked auto mode, it should not switch back...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I did but it clicks back when there is some "refreshing sim data"
I looked more about the operator and it seems others have this issue with their android phones. It seems the operator forces a network update (I guess to cut down on their fees they pay to the other providers)
So my option would be somehow removing the home operator from the list of operators that the phone can connect to (if there is such a list) or some app that forces to only go on certain networks that I pre select. Nothing is set in the network providers as auto, everything is on manual.
Or of course change providers (but I'll have to see what the canx policy is)

A fix for network issues

Hi guys,
I was having a lot of issues with my Verizon Note 2 for a while. No matter which ROM I flashed, the best connection was a less than decent 3G connection. After a lot of fooling around and looking for a fix though, I finally figured it out and now I want to share in case other people are having the same problem.
If you already checked to see that your SIM card works in another 4g phone and vice versa and that didn't tell you anything, try this:
-Go to your dialer
-press *#*#4636#*#*
-in the menu that it brings up, select phone information
-change the preferred network type to the one that applies to you (for me, it is LTE/CDMA auto (PRL) )
-make sure all the options under that network type selector are enabled (it will say turn off radio, turn off IMS, etc on the button)
-toggle the DNS check so it says "allowed"
After you did all this, you should have no connection at all. No bars. Nothing. Reboot your phone at this point and you should have your 4G!!

Choosing preferred cellular operator

My native cellular operator has very bad internet speeds.
However, when i'm in some area which isn't covered by my native operator, i'm able to use network of other cellular operator, whose network is so much better - but i'm able to do it ONLY when there is no my native operator coverage.
My question - is there any way to be always connected to that other operator? If i select it manually, it quickly switches me back to my native operator.
I'm ready to root my phone, if there is any way to do it - I have Xiaomi Redmi Note 7.
Thank you in advance
Have you tried changing the APN?
yes... phone is still on native network
By default, in "Mobile Network Settings" network operator is set to "automatic". But there's an option to "manually select". This will then scan for available networks, and let you chose one (obviously only possible with the desired network in reach). Having done that, whenever the chosen network is not available, you'd simply have "no network" – it wouldn't switch to any other operator, however strong his signal might be.
At least on Android Nougat this works ...
