Hello,
Currently I have data off and 2G mode by default (GSM by default)
I'm trying to find an app or widget, that can do this things:
When enabled, Turn Data ON and 3G mode ON (GSM/WCDMA auto ON).
And when disabled, reverting back to data off and 2G mode.
Is there anything out there??

Ive enable the switch in Commanger which enables and disables 3G. But what it really does is switches between 2G and auto. Is there a way to make it switch between 2G and forced 3G ?
For all the people that need their battery for a day or more I wanted to add the instructions on how to disable 3G.
Go into the dialer and type in *#*#197328640#*#*
Select "Debug Screen" on the menu
then hit "Phone Control"
then "UE State Control"
"Change RAT to GSM" will turn off 3G access and will leave your DATA on 2G.
This will save lots of battery especially for those who have low 3G signals.
Please note that rebooting the phone or even turning on "Airplane mode" will reverse these changes.
This means you will have to change the settings again (this is also the fastest way to cancel the changes and go back to 3G).
Thanks a ton for this. I'm sure it was in another thread, but I always saw mixed reports and hadn't tried it myself.
I have a 3-4 bar EDGE signal in my office, but only a 0-3 3G signal, so this will be a lifesaver.
However, as soon as there's a ROM that adds the force 2G option that should be there back into settings (and removes any other locks AT&T put in the software), I'll probably go that direction just because it is a pretty clunky way to do something that should be an option as is.
I have something to add to this. If you use a reboot or airplane mode to turn 3G back on, the next time you go to turn 3G off, you may need to re-enable 3G (WCDMA) before changing back to GSM. Apparently, the setting didn't get changed in the debug menu even though I got switched to 3G, so I had to put it back on 3G first.
Is this still the only way to disable 3G but leave 2G enabled on the Captivate? The apps in the Market are still all or nothing (3G or no data connection at all).
Thanks!
3G, 2G disabling?
Is there a way to disable the 3G/2G altogether but still use wireless?
You can always put it in airplane mode and then turn WiFi on if you don't want to use the AT&T network at all.
got given a desire yesterday, sim unlocked it (using bootable cd), then connected to my pc via wifi, eventually rooted and added loads of apps etc.
Just noticed I have no data connection when wi-fi is turned off...this is a major problem as i leave for work in a few hours and need mobile internet access
data roaming on
network mode gsm/wcdma auto
network operator 3 (uk)
enable always on mobile data ON
no H or G showing in the notification area
tried toggling airplane mode - no change
[resolved]
less panic and more google solved it - my APN settings were empty, creating a new APN using the details supplied my my provider fixed it
Is't possible to insert a "data switch On/Off" in those already present in the ICS system tray notifications?
Dont think so. The closest thing is probably airplane mode.
Airplane mode is valid choice but i want preferably option for turn on/off mobile data connection only
Well i dont have a 3G device, so I cant confirm this but... You can turn on wlan while airplane mode is active, without disabling airplane. Doing that should keep your mobile connection off, while still allowing you to use wlan.
Its possible some custom rom have a 3G setting you can add to the toolbar. EOS got a lot of different options you can add, but as far as I can see, no 3G.
Hello,
In the Setting/Network Mode, there is LTE/3G/2G selection and due to unavailable LTE on my area I would like to switch to 3G preferred.
Each time I chose 3G network, it will show "Change the network operating mode" in the Network Mode, if I choose either LTE or 2G it will stay as it is
I read from the forum, suggested using "*#*#*4636#*#*" >> phone info, choose WCDMA only, but it will reset back when phone is reboot.
Is there anyway to permanent this WCDMA mode even after reboot?
Thank you.
