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

Its not my phone and if I call him and tell him that and if he doesn't get it then I would have to ask here again.
So.....
I don't think anyone is gonna kill you if you directly answer my question.....

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?

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.

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).

I came across a build.prop tweak for preferred data connection
Code:
ro.telephony.default_network=
0 = WCDMA Preferred
1 = GSM Only
2 = WCDMA Only
3 = GSM/WCDMA (auto mode, according to PRL)
4 = CDMA / EVDO. Preferred
I have a Nexus S 4G CDMA Sprint version and im wondering if I should set it to choice 4 or to choice 2. Whats do you guys have?

Mine is set to GSM only. Mine always defaults to GSM only now for some reason. It used to stay on option 3. Not that there was any difference. Just try both out and see what happens.

Are you talking about 2G and 3G connection?? Because there is no UMTS in our device.
2G = EDGE/GPRS ( Normal / Slow internet ). Go to settings.. then mobile networks.. select GSM
in Network Preferences.
3G = HSDPA ( Fast internet ). Go to same settings.. select WCDMA network.
For 3G.. talk to your service provider. Check whether your area has 3G coverage.
*#*#4636#*#* find it there

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
