Hey guys,
is there a possibility to switch fast bands (LTE, 3G,...) ?
I found some confusing key-combinations and some (unuseful) apps but these apps are only shortcuts for the network menu.
I'm looking for a little widget thats placed on the home screen. Just 3 buttons to switch to 2G, 3G or 4G because my singal strength at home is with 2G best and if i'm outside i'd like to have good internet connection so i want fast and easy switch to 4G.
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot
kind regards psy
Edit: Found solution here in forum > toggle network type 5.0

What is the best free widget to switch between 3G/2G. i know there are some widgets with multi functionality such as brightness, 2G, airplane more. Could you point me to such free widget?
Thanks!

I like widgetsoid personally, you can have alot of cool setting i use it to replace the power control widget. hope thats what your looking for.
EDIT:
Widgetsoid 2.1 and down
Widgetsoid 2.2
Give this one a whirl, takes the power widget and adds more options:

Well I tried both of the suggested ones, but when I click on to switch 2g/3G it does not switch but it brings me to the MObile Networks menu.. I do not have an option to "use 2G only". I can go in and specify a Network Mode
1) GSM/WCDMA (automatic)
2) GSM only
3) WCDMA only
Nowhere does it say 2G. So none of the one lick switch widgets that tried work..

Option 2 "GSM only" is the same thing as 2G only. Option 3 "WCDMA only" forces the phone to only use 3G networks for data.

So basically the widget does nothelp me in 1-2 clicks to switch..? I need to so it with like 4 clicks, cuz even when u select it, it gives you a warning..
android software
Due to the android set up, no widget that i know of will do it in just one click, and since the release of the Ji6 update. they took away the 2g only button and replaced it with the wcdma/gsm toggle instead. hope that helps to sort out the problem.

i really dont no for sure it there will ever really be a one click switch, but you can still switch just takes a few more clicks. thats all. just put it on gsm and thats the 2g. thats what i do when im in poor coverage areas. and your welcome hope it helps out.
I have tried going into the testing menu and switching radios, but:
1. I don't know which radio to choose, because there's no CDMA+LTE/EvDO option
2. When I do choose another option (other than CDMA PRL(Auto)), it doesn't switch to it.
So, the question is: How do I switch between 3G and 4G LTE on my Thunderbolt with CM7?

Settings->Wireless&Networks->Mobile networks->network mode
Or you can just add slayher's 3g/4g toggle to the power widget or the notification widget in the drop down.
Thanks a bunch! Perfect
Hey,
Since as i understand 3G draing the battery much more then 2G.
Is there any option to auto switch to 2G when the phone is not in use?
Tnx

I use sgs2 cyanogenmod
No simple way to do it (this has been asked on here recently more than a few times). Your best chance is to get Tasker from Google Play & see if you can set up a task to run where the phone switches to 2G where certain conditions are met.
try root box rom

In aokp roms like RootBOX & Resurrection Remix, a 2G toggle can be set in the notification screen.
settings -> Rom-Control -> (statusbar) Toggles -> Enabled toggles.
I use it from time to time
I never used cyanogenmod....
CM also have this option. AOKP roms are based on CM, so...
Having a toggle on the status bar isn't what the OP has asked. He's asked for a way to have the phone automatically switch to 2G when 'the phone is not in use' (reading is fun. honest).

I remember that i ever provide some of battery saving apps have any feature to do that e.g. easy baterry saver or battery saver.. at it's network settings related..
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
There is a good app for that, but I think it will work with CM only:
2G Auto Toggle

Open the dial pad, type *#*#4636#*#*, if anything pop up, you can go to Phone information to switch preferred network type to "GSM only" for 2G.
You can also create an Activity shortcut on the home screen to do this in a faster way. The activity is under Settings -> Phone info.
For the sake of simplicity, install CM and use toggles.

Can you tell me where the toggle is? I have an option of setting the preferred network but changing it to 2G will automatically toggle it back to 3G. I am not satisfied !!

I feel like a retard to reply to myself. But just now I tried toggling it with my data off. It sticks. I have to select the preferred network and then I have to switch it on. Might help someone!
Hey guys. Anyone know a way to toggle between 4g/3g easily? I used this method ( droid-life. com/2012/07/10/how-to-turn-off-4g-on-verizons-galaxy -s3/ ) to get 3g but i can't get my 4g back after selecting LTE/CDMA/EvDo. thanks
Hi, I'm a noob when it comes to smart phone setup, but saw the success of people here getting setup on t mobile with the Sonys Z5's so thought I'd give it a try (got an Z5c E5823 from HK).
Anyway, setup went smoothly, except for some reason under settings/wireless & networks/more/mobile networks/ I don't have the option to enable/disable mobile network traffic. It isn't that the row is grayed out, it isn't there at all. There are only four choices in this menu (Data Roaming, Preferred Network Type, Access Point Names, and Service Providers).
Anyone know how to get this selection available? Or, is it in a different place maybe?
Thanks!
Try Settings/"Data usage", it shall be in first row.
Wow, thanks! We are now rocking on t-mobile. No idea why I was so hung up on it being in the other menu.
You can add it to the quick settings buttons (pull down buttons)
When the buttons are shown there is a little (looks like a pencil, with some dots under it), this is the editor for the quick settings panel.
Just drag the Mobile Data button down.
