[Q] Force 3G only in field test - Nokia Lumia 820

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.

[Q] Setting network mode priority?

I noticed under "Network Mode" that you have four options: LTE, 3G, 1x, Global. Is there any other way to set a priority list (I was able to do this on my S3 with 4.3)? For example, my S3 would have the option "LTE/CDMA/EvDO". If there's LTE use it, if not use 3G or else use 1x. As it works now, when I'm at home I have to manually change it to "3G" so it will connect to my Airave, then "LTE" when I'm on the road.
Is there anyway to prioritize a list of network modes to use so that if LTE is unavailable it will go right to 3G?

2g / GSM CALLS Preferred 3g+ DATA

Do anyone know of an app to change the priority of which network to use.
I want VOICE - default to most reliable [2g] and only use something else if 2g unavailable [networks in UK are notoriously bad at cell tower hand off on 3g connections resulting is dropping calls while driving on motorways]
I want DATA - default to highest speed, fall back to lower speeds as normal.
My options are 3g only, 2g only, 3g preferred - not ideal

Network with 3G connectivity

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

3G data disable while on roaming

Hello,
I know there is a thread for this in Galaxy Note section, but i feel i need to share this for OPO community.
I'm using OPO v33 rom. I live in Mumbai and have a 3G vodafone postpaid corporate connection.
Recently i have been to my native mysore on few occasions, and everytime i have seen the 3G data getting disabled even when the data connection settings are enable on roaming.
I never faced this issue on my nokia lumia 920 which perfectly latched onto roaming and 3G data was available.
On roaming, with OPO, the data gets disabled and i dont get a specific "E" or "H" sign with + noticafion.
I only have the signal bars with small R icon on top of the bar.
Please let me know if there is a workaround for this.
I have also seen this issue on v25 rom aswell.
Note: i have tried setting connectivity to automatic in mobile networks.. and also tried to select the specific Vodafone network. both didnt solve this issue.
Another interesting thing while on roaming: my nokia 920 recognised 2 networks for vodafone.. one with 2G, 3G and another with only 2G. and i could select the first one .. and 3G was getting enabled without any issues.
i think that E and H as well as H+ is only something you can geti n your own country. When roaming, it's always the default for that service prodiver in the country that you will get.

2G issues (turn off 2g)

Hi,
is there any chance I can turn off 2g on a Samsung s6?
I am having conenction issues when the phone is connected to a 2g network. The conversation is not being established - rather than hearing someone I hear terrible humming noise. Telekom Germany confirmed with there call log, that everytime I am using 2G there is an error. I checked with a few SIM cards (issues with all tested Telekom SIM, O2 SIM cards in 2G work just fine- which is really odd)
When I am in a LTE network the calls are perfect. When I then manaually change to 2G the noise starts again. So there is no problem in a 3G or LTE network e.g. in large cities. In the countryside calling i snot possible. I would rather use a bad 3G connection or not call at all than usind 2G. Is there a hidden menue where I can disable 2G? In the regular menue it only works the opposite way (turn off 3G, LTE).
thanks
You can't disable 2G and use auto 3G/LTE.
But you can use only 3G, or use only LTE (you can't recieve calls if your operator & SIM doesn't support VoLTE).
