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

Well guys I am a newbie to the Android world!!
On my earlier Nokia I used to have three options for the Network Mode under the Phone Settings, viz. , Dual Mode, UMTS, GSM. Since in my area the 3G signal is a bit weak I used to select UMTS only, so that the phone doesn't switch over to 2G automatically.
However, in my android device (Samsung GT-I5503) the only option under the Mobile Networks which is anything similar to a Network Mode selection is the Use Only 2G networks checkbox. I believe it disables Dual Mode and allows GSM network only, in the Android device. So Android Gurus and Forum Moderators, do you guys know of any method or software which can select 3G network only!!
Please help me guys as the 3G reception in my network is a bit weak, Android doesn't switch over to 3G!!
Oh and BTW, I'm getting a really good 2G signal. The Signal Bar is 4/4 most of the time!!
@Mods: Could you please change the title of the thread to "How do I select UMTS/WCDMA only, on Samsung Galaxy 5 (GT-I5503)?"
Hi Guys, I m facing an issue with the 3G network on my WP7. The 3G signal is low in my area and the phone automatically changes to the Edge/GPRS network from 3G. Is there a way to keep it locked to the 3G network so that it does not changes to the Edge/Gprs network?
Hey guys found the solution to lock the wp7 to 3G/HSPA only network.
1. Press ##3282# and it will open the field test screen.
2. Select settings at the bottom of the screen.
3. Select 3G Network only option.
The phone will be locked to 3G networks only even if the signal is very low.
Tested on HTC 7 Pro. Working like a charm.
Hope it helps.
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.
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?
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.
