Okay so there is an option in settings to disable network data usage. That is fine, but I still want 2G (EDGE/GPRS) but I don't want 3G/4G. Anyway to do this?

You can switch to it when your not actively using your phone to save some battery.

My friend has a HTC Sensation. He cant make or receive calls anymore. He is on Android 2.3.4 and is on Virgin Network UK. He can use Virgin mobile data but whenever he calls the phone it says "Dialling" then "Ended".
I thought of flashing a new firmware on the phone. But will that help?
Please help?
I like to start with the really basic stuff. Has he made sure he's not on airplane mode?
It's the easiest problem to fix so it's the best place to start.
@skipjacks i was about to say that and you beat me to it, i not sure why but i notice alot of people have that problem and it is as simple as that but if he can use data then it is not in airplane mode, for my phone when it is in airplane mode nothing works, maybe do a phone reset... and see what happens

vpn ? where do you get that app from i look up in google play but there is a lot of ones ?
Wi fi tether works if you get settings correct settings also you have to do. Battery pull at the beginning of every tethering session. Settings Are as follows., check tethering and routing fix , disable wake lock, check set up wext ad hoc make sure that's checked, use device profile generic ics , DNS 8.8.8.8
Lan.192.168.2024, transit power disabled. If it started with a error just turn off power, pull battery, put battery back in, turn on power and you will be tethering ! This is for WiFi tether app. Hope I've helped you! Let me know

no wifi tether does not work i have tried those settings before somebody already told me that but did not worked , thx anyways i got it working with vpn finally that really works .........
Just make a new APN in Settings and point it to epc.tmobile.com. Then use the APN, five minutes or so later you should be able to tether without issues. Yes, you already have a epc.tmobile.com APN but we need to make a new one that doesn't have that admin property.

I tried Vipers Rom but it is not working for me only VPN worked for me ....
search in google about free tethering with ics
well it is said that ICS update will disable the free tethering for t-mobile.
I would post a link to the article, but the forum wouldn't let me yet since I'm a new user D:
T mobile said they will start charging extra $14.99 per month if you choose to use the hotspot option on your sensation that runs on ICS.
I was hoping to find out if custom rom will help in such situation.
However, I've heard that there are lots of issues rooting a phone. starting with security something.....
I've never rooted my phone before. So I'm kinda scared to root it then voiding the warranty.
I would like to keep my warranty if you know what i mean ;]

Works like a charm!
I was researching how to root my Sensation 4G due to the tethering issue when I came across this post. Worked smoothly though there was a glitch that the SSID defaulted to "AndroidAP" and went unsecured. Nothing I did could fix it till I reset to the previous image and then recreated the the new APN. Its now working perfectly fine...
I was so happy, I registered here on XDA just to thank sshede!

Is there a way to switch off 4g on the verizon SGIII and leave on the 3g to save some battery?
I don't want to turn off mobile data completely but i can't find how to turn off 4g like on the galaxy nexus.
I'm looking for the same feature as well. I haven't been able to find it yet. I've been having issues with the phone not having a data connection while on 4g. 3g works fine and i'd like to force it to drop from 4g to 3g.
I called VZW and their technicians were stumped that there was no way to disable the 4g radio in the settings. They were also confused as to why I get wifi notifications when the wifi is turned off (thanks verizon. I pay for unlimited data and i get nagged to use wifi).
if verizons is like sprints it eould be under settings-> more settings-> mobile networks and switch it from cdma/lte to cdma

Use the app called Phone Info (free in the market) Open it and choose device settings. Scroll down and click in the box with the arrow in the lower right corner and select whatever reception you want.

so is it just "cdma only" that we want using the phone info program or something else? there's a ton of option in the drop down.

Switching back to 4G
Quick Question....I've used this app to bump my phone into 3G and it works great, but now I can't get it back to 4G. I'm with Verizon, and I've tried all of the LTE settings in the drop-down menu. How can I get my 4G back?

Argh....I flashed back to stock, and still no 4G. I even took the SIM card out for a few minutes and reseated it. This is frustrating. I checked my other phone, the trusty old Thunderbolt and it has 4G. I thought that there may have been an issue since we had heavy storms, but if that old clunker gets it, then the SG3 should. Also, mom came over with her Nexus and her 4G is working as well.

Called Verizon Tech Support (besides being upgraded to the 20GB Data Share plan), and there's something wonky with my SIM card. Need to go get a new one tomorrow. Oh well....I won't use that tool again.

This is the one I used: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...neInfo&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
Update: 4/13
I was just able to figure it out and for the most part. The basic problem is that my network mode was stuck on GSM/WCDMA. Here is the solution:
1. go to settings/more.../mobile networks/network operators.
2. Once you click network operators, it should start searching automatically. If nothing comes up, then hit "search networks". FYI, sometimes, it decides to act wonky, so you'll have to exit out and come back in to get it to work. Eventually, it'll show you carriers in the area. Being an AT&T customer in Philadelphia. I saw three results. The first two were AT&T. The last one was T-Mobile. I don't think there is a difference in the AT&T options, but I just clicked the first one.
3. Once that's finished. Go back to the "mobile networks" menu and click on "network mode" and change your preferred network mode to LTE/GSM/CDMA.
4. The last step is change your APN. In the "mobile networks" menu, click on Access Point Names. Click on ATT LTE pta. Scroll to the bottom and click on APN Type. Change that to default,admin,fota,mms,supl,hip. Then hit okay. Hit File and Save. Then just select the circle next to ATT LTE pta. To be honest, just selecting ATT LTE PTA might be all that's necessary. You might not have to edit it.
Now, here's the catch. All of this stuff resets (with the exception of the edited APN) when you restart your phone. But it does work everytime.[/COLOR]
So, I just got the skyrocket (AT&T in Philadelphia) and have the 03-24 nightly on it. But for some reason, I can't get LTE to turn on. I've played with the different APN's. I've flashed the at&t radio on Chopstick's webpage, but no dice. I'm only getting H+.
I even called AT&T to make sure my data plan was LTE provisioned.
The only thing I can think of is that the ROM currently cannot change preferred network mode and mine is stuck on GSM/WCDMA preferred?
Please help.

How old is your SIM card?
When I got my Skyrocket, all network modes except LTE worked.
It ended up being an older version of a sim card that didn't support LTE.
Swapped out for a new one...no issues since.

I doubt that's the problem. I actually flashed back to Stock this morning and LTE worked great. I had speeds around 35mbps. However when I restored the backup of the CM10.1 rom, same issue. Only gettings H+ and speeds around 2mpbs.
THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING!!!! I don't get it. Am I really the only person with CM10.1 not getting LTE? It doesn't make any sense.

Would you kindly answer these questions so that I may ascertain whatever is it I'm doing wrong?
1. Are you using an AT&T Skyrocket? or is one from Rogers/others?
2. Are you using the official CM10.1? Which build?
3. What your baseband version?
4. What APN are you using?
5. In the mobile network settings/preferred network mode dialog in settings, what option is checked?
The only thing I can think of is that the preferred network mode for me is stuck on GSM/WCDMA preferred?
