After upgrading to ics, i cannot see the "network" option in the settings menu, which means that i cannot select mobile provider manually, i cannot enable data roaming abroad etc.
Any idea where it went??
When you are in settings, tap on the mobile network icon to go in specific settings.
Got it. Thanks!

when i am at home i would like to use my wifi connection but it appears that it still tries to use edge. how do i configure my connections so that it uses wifi if connected?
thanks
Hey,
have you properly set up ur wifi connection on ur device including any password protection and security (WEP/WPA etc).
Also and this might seem daft, but is ur wifi connection on router properly working or have you set up any access restrictions on router?
its not a question on whether the wifi connection actually works but edge overriding it.
but... yes i did all of the necessary steps to add my device (wep password, mac address added etc...)
if i turn the phone off the wifi works just fine.
thanks for the reply.
Hy,
you have to set the networks (Internet and Private Network) to "My Work Network".
Does this not work you have to make a rom update.
Greatz

You will find it at Settings -> Connections -> Connections -> Avanced -> Select Networks
that just makes everything not work
Which rom version do you have? Which device do you have? Which Provider Label do you have?
its all in my sig
I find that if I want to switch from cellular data to WiFi, I have to hit the Data button in the Comm Manager, then hit the WiFi button. Otherwise, it doesn't seem to switch. If I just turn on WiFi, it connects, but never know which one is going to be used.
Go to:
Touch "Start > Settings > Connections > Connections > Advanced > Network Selection.
Set both settings to "Office Network"
If this does not work then install a small file called "No data" or "Modaco No data"

no data works by removing a registry key for your connection settings..... so it will also disable your picture messaging and/or email if you use it. (just a heads up)
I am really loving my HD2 but I am really missing my manual network selection. When I travel abroad I would really like to "force" the HD2 to stay on my prefered roaming network. I have looked in all of the usual places and can't seem to do it.
Also, tried the registry edit that will at least give me the ability to switch to manual but it won't let me select a network after searching and goes back once I turn on/off the phone.
Any advise or ideas would be great.
Start the comm manager
Click on "Phone" (the icon or text, not the on/off switch)
Click "Menu"
Choose "Network selection"
Change it to manual, and choose the network
Thankyou Nsider, but that is just what I am trying to do and can't. That method has worked just fine on the past 10 winmo phones I have owned but for some reason the dropdown box to select manual is GONE. It is not an option on the network selection. All I see is current network and find network. There is no "switch to manual" or set prefered networks.
So I finally jumped in and got the WanHu ROM installed with M's v5 patch. This thing is really nice now, hopefully it will stay that way even after I reinstall some of my apps.
One thing that I've noticed is that the ability to use only 2G networks is gone. It used to be an option under Settings » Wireless controls » Mobile networks. Any chance that may be coming back?
I know some people would probably think I'm crazy to be asking that, but in my experience the batter life was pretty much double that of what I was getting on 3G, so I'd use that mode sometimes.
Thanks for all the good work on the WanHu ROM.
You can turn off the 3g at Settings >> Wireless networks >> Data Network settings & there is also a 3g widget.
Hi,
At this point you only turn data on or off. You cannot switch from 3g to 2g.
I would like to have this feature to, because the radio at my work is very poor and the battery last much longer in 2g.
Sent from my XT720 using XDA App
switch 2g , 3g, and 2g/3g
if i have to change the default network setting (3, which mean 3g/2g auto), i can from here:
1. from the dialpad dial *#*#4636#*#*
2. from the popued menu, choose Phone Information
3. from "Set preffered network type" You can choose several options including:
"GSM auto (PRL)" (this is usually default and means 3g and failback to 2g, depending on signal
"WCDMA prefered" (this mean 3g and if there is no 3g, then 2g), this settings seems to wotk, but if you exit and return to the same menu it is changed
"WCDMA only" 3g only
"GMS only" 2g only
hope that helps.
p.s. I use Battery monitor application, which has shortcut to the Phone Information menu.

Thanks for the reply. I was messing around in those menus and could not find a "GSM only" mode on my phone. I will look again, but all I remember were an "auto" mode, a "3g only" mode, and a bunch of CDMA stuff (which doesn't apply to our phones).
But I will look again and try out the battery monitor application program as that would be nicer than typing the key sequence everytime.
And just to expand my (rather small) knowledge of the android OS. The option to select only 2G under Settings » Wireless controls » Mobile networks, is that a framework thing that has to be added?

What I am trying to do is have ONLY 3G connection manually, to do this i added a tile in notification bar for 2G to 2G/3G switch, so when i select 2G|3G mode it connects to 3G but after some time it automatically selects 2G (because its 2G|3G, either strong one i guess).
I have also tried selected 3G in network settings, selecting LTE(recommended) also doesn't work.
But I want to be it in 3G mode exclusively even though 2G signal is better.
I have a rooted OPO and can install xposed too, any solution for this will be really helpful !!
Hi
Think you can do this by "dailing" the string *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer app, to bring up the Testing menu. Press "Phone information", then scroll down to "Set prefered network type", there is an option for "WCDMA only".

Perfect.. that exactly what i was looking for !! Thanks..!!
The phone is one of the Verizon Moto Gs and it's been used on T-Mobile for some time now. I have two of them, and one shows the network operators setting in the menu for cellular network settings. Unfortunately my wife took the other one overseas and T-Mobile wasn't connecting to a local network for roaming and now she's trying to use a local sim and still can't connect. Her phone only has "Data roaming access", "Preferred network type" and "Access Point Names" in the "Cellular network settings" menu. "Network operators" is suspiciously missing. Is there something that needs configuring for this to show up? Has anyone else noticed that option missing?
