Hello I have selected the band switching for 2G/3G using AdvCfg,but it can switch only between 2G/Auto. Is there a tweak,that this switch will work for forcing 2G/3G,no Auto?
Let's say that I have an AT&T Fuze and I would like to disable 3G and just use only EDGE, is it as simple as toggling 3G on and off? Would this also be apply to other 3G phones (from other mfgrs) where there will always be a network option to turn 3G on and off?

What is this in the communications settings?
3G Auto Mode
I believe that just means that your phone will use 3G if it is available. If 3G is not available or the option is switched to off, your phone will use 2G (EDGE) instead,
Set your Raphael to use 3G when available.
If you switch it off, it will use 2G network, even if 3G is available..
Ok guys, that makes sense, thank you.
I have another question along the same lines. After I turned the 3G auto mode ON, I see this "H" Appear every once in a while in the top bar. What is it?

That's 3G. The 'H' stands for 'HSDPA', so when it appears, it basically means you're using 3G instead of 2G (EDGE, which would appear as an 'E' instead of an 'H').
All icons, explained :
G --> GPRS, 2.5G, the slowest data connection
E --> EDGE, 2.75G, faster than GPRS
3G --> UMTS, much faster than EDGE
H --> HSDPA (may be HSUPA also..), the fastest data connection available on Raphael..
Hi..i owned a Lumia, but a bit frustrated when network keep switching between 3G and 2G.
i just want to stay only in 3G network..
have anyone test the field test by dialling "##3282"?
in there we can change 3G only.
But i didnt know it worked or not..
so far it doesnt change to 2G..
I too used the same test by dialing ##3282. In addition you have to toggle the ENS to OFF position (don't reboot).
When you choose 3G only. It exactly what it means, 3G only, not 4G (LTE) and NOT 2G either. So it will only connect to 3G and hence you are not getting 2G signal.
I wish there was a speed limit setting so we could avoid LTE rather than pure 3G only. Or choose 3G+2G together.
Hello guys, i am from India. Here, I have activated airtel 3g and i am from Maharashtra state. Here, airtel network uses IDEA network for 3g packs as they don't own the spectrum. I kept my cell in 3g mode and "automatically select network", but it stays in 2g(Same doesnt happen in my note 2, using 3g in auto mode). If i manually select IDEA from the list of networks, it goes to 3g. I want to keep it on auto, like switch to 2g when 3g is not available. Settings are same. How to make it switch to 3g automatically. Preferred mode is 3g. Any problem in my handset?
Thanks
