So you can't turn off data.... if you just want to use wifi at home for example?

You can turn data on and off. There is actually an HTC widget that toggles data on and off.

Go to the market there is an app that you can use to toggle on stock rom. Just search 3G.

try *#*#4636#*#*
any1 have a shortcut or app for it?

Just uncheck "Mobile Network" under Wireless and Network in Settings.

I'm pretty sure my 3g/4g has yet to be turned on lol

I found a way to turn off 3g/4g and have Edge enabled by going to Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Network Mode > here you can toggle from WCDMA Only; GSM Only; GSM/WCDMA Auto (default). Selecting GSM Only switching my connection to Edge. How can we create a shortcut/toggle for this option?

There is no such option on the Inspire 4g.

*#*#4636#*#* is the option. Dial it. Go to phone. Scroll down. Select gsm only.

Does it really work ?

Yes. I use it to keep mine on gsm. I also used the stock widget to keep data turned off

Turning off 4G speed is easy. Turn on the phone, it doesn't exist
Sorry, couldn't resist.

How do you turn off something that has not even been turned on?

Using: *#*#4636#*#*
Then selecting GSM does not work for me..still reverts back to 3G "H+)
Any other suggestions? Do I have to root to get access to all the grayed out network options?
Thanks

Switch between 3G and 2G?

I have a friend with this phone....
He has 3G activated on his SIM Card but he wants to use 2G (EDGE / GPRS) instead....
Is there anyway he can switch between 2G and 3G?

Dude... tell your friend to explore the phone's settings...
And he'll eventually find what he needs at /settings/wifi and networks/mobile networks

Exactly !!

Use only 2g works. The 3G here is very expensive so I use only 2g. But when I reboot it automatic goes to 2g. What should I do?

switch 2g ang 3g

USE code in dialer

Select wcdma for 3g and then select all
or for 2g use gsm >> all
Automatic>>>>>automatic

For Samsung users...
Settings -> Wireless and Networks -> Mobile networks -> Network Operators
By Default GSM/WCDMA (Auto mode) is selected.
GSM = 2G
WCDMA = 3G
Select the one you want to use.

When you reboot your phone, it goes to 2g.. okay... and 3g is expensive so you use only 2g.
What is the question ?

I guess he wants to disable automatic "data transfer mode" enabling.
if you want to do that
Settings>Wireless and Network>Mobile Network>Use Data Connection.

Re : switch between 3G and 2G
Or on off mode data

[Q] Force 2G Radio only on Sensation Sense Roms

All Sense Roms that I have come across Do not let you Switch between 4G/3G to 2G, This is only possible as far as im concerned on CM or MIUI (Like when you go to Wireless settings>Mobile Networks>2G only) has anybody found a solution to this???

You can, its just worded differently. Go to settings, wireless, mobile network settings, netowrk type and select GSM. GSM/wcdma auto is automatic switching, wcdma is 3g only, GSM is 2g.

maybe in ur city/area 3g services are not available by ur network provider. try contacting customer care services of your network.

if u use wcdma setting ur device will search for available 3g network. u better call 121 and ask customer care executive about 3g services in ur town. if they confirm that 3g is available in ur area than complain about 3g not working ur device they will guide u for making correct settings.

Go to Settings -> Wireless & Mobile networks -> Touch on Mobile Networks.
Click on Access Point Names:
If you already have settings click on TATA DOCOMO INTERNET.
If not you can send SMS “INTERNET” to 52270 and save them default settings.
If you are not getting Settings for some reason.
Follow the steps:
in the Settings page click menu > NEW APN.
Enter the details as below:
Name : TATA DOCOMO INTERNET
APN: TATA.DOCOMO.INTERNET
Proxy:
Port:
User name:
Password:
Server:
MMSC:
MMS Proxy:
MMS Protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC: 405
MNC: 034
Authentication type:
Apn Type: default.
See if the above works

I had faced the same problem before! All networks work only on gsm mode by default! And 3g works fine on the same mode.. Its just that you need to get the right settings from your network provider and get 3g activated at your provider end!

just if u knew....
before some dayz back docomo gives us access to its 3g network without subscribing to its 3g plan,which is giving speed abot 15-20 kbps...
but frm past 10 to 15 dayz its not giving us its 3g network without recharging with its 3g plann....
do u recharged with its 3g plan??

I faced the same problem while I was using airtel. I sent them an SMS requesting for the 3g settings after which it was solved... you should probably send an SMS asking for the settings...

@vikas145, Is it that you bought your mobile just now and configuring the settings? If so, try to do a factory reset first and then reboot. 3G will work perfectly.

Try selecting manually

guys 3g is still not working on my SGR plz help out...... on selecting wcdma in network settings there's no network on my phone......so what to do with it

You have to activate 3g pack ,then only H or 3G symbol will appear.
Otherwise ,you will get edge network .
I am also using tata docomo and same thing had happened to me.
Tata docomo cancelled giving 3g network on 2g pack activation from january this year.
For testing you can activate Rs.9 (10MB) 3g pack.make sure that you are in 3g area.

If u activate 3g pack,then the network automatically switches to 3g or H network from edge(E).network selection should be auto mode(WCDMA/GSM).

Network Mode(2G/3G)

Hi Omni Team,
Can we have the option of swtiching network mode(2G/3G/LTE) in the mobile settings? This is required for switching network for battery saving and selectively change network depending on the area the user is currently.
This option is there in most AOSP ROMS(CM, AOKP).
Thanks for reading this request.
Thanks,
Kunal

The last time i checked it, the network mode was a flippable quick tile...

Just a thought, not sure if it is connected but I previously had the option to change between 2g only/ 3g only/ and 2g with 3g preferred. Today I switched carriers from t-mobile UK to giffgaff and also performed OTA update if latest nightly and the option now doesn't let you choose and only has 2g/3g prefered.
Not sure whether it had to do with the update or changing carrier.
