There is a setting on stock to only use 2g...not sure what tasker is but there is also a setting in CPU Tuner that allows you to define which networks you connect to.

You should check out Tasker. It's very powerful.
In a nutshell, you setup conditions, and if those conditions occur, tasks to be completed.
So the OP here would decide when he want's the phone to be 2G only (the condition) and what action Tasker should take, such as turn on 2G only (the task).
I've only just started playing with it, but it's getting a lot of good praise from devs like Paul O'Brien (MCR).

i'm not on CM7 but my solution to this was to install Any Cut and create a shortcut to the specific settings menu "Mobile network settings" with the "Use only 2G networks" toggle. i pretty much keep 2g on at all times unless i'm using maps or am going online, etc.

So, I'm not a Tasker expert by any means, but that's a scenario where I think you would tell Tasker to look for whenever you open Maps, then to automatically switch you to 3G.

Very cool. I'll have to check it out and see if I can get it to turn on GPS when I open maps (the only time I use GPS).
ya it works well on CM7 but not on stock I could never get the gps to turn on
Does it work? I thought the 3g/2g toggle is still on the todolist of tasker.
Hi all, I seem to have been fairly lucky so far with my Droid 2 Global.. my SIM unlock seemed to work OK and I only messed up once while getting Fission properly installed onto it
I have a question regarding the Fission ROM and whether it allows apps to toggle 2G and 3G mode with the GSM radio.
In short, I would like to have things set up such that when I am connected to wifi, the GSM radio auto switches to 2G mode. At home I have wifi, but get borderline 3G signal - but 2G is quite good. In this situation, the radio seems to constantly flip-flop between 2G and 3G mode. (If I'm unlucky enough to make or receive a call when it's on 3G, it doesn't hold the call for long - but on 2G it's flawless and rock stable)
I've found the Toggle 2G/3G app (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739530) that can do this on select ROMs, but neither the signed nor unsigned apks install on my D2G/Fission phone - so I'm guessing the current version of Fission doesn't allow for this. I've also tried using Juice Defender, which has similar functionality - it too doesn't seem to be able to do 2G/3G toggling.
This is apparently something the Cyanogen ROM can do. From what I've read, CM enhances the standard radio API a little to expose this switching functionality to apps. I'm not sure whether CM does this in the kernel, or something inside of /system -- hopefully the latter, as any kernel mods aren't going to get past the locked bootloader However, there's something in the thread I linked above, that mentions the apk need only be signed for a particular ROM - might it be possible that it can be signed against Fission and it would then work?
Does anyone have any clues/advice? Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I've just looked through the network settings, and in Fission there are two options: "GSM/WCDMA auto" and "GSM/WCDMA preferred". What is the difference between these two?
I am new to using Tasker and am using it on my Nexus 5. For those Nexus 5 users who are using Tasker, are you having any problems? Do you know if Tasker has been updated to fully work with 4.4? I have checked Tasker's wiki and the last update for 4.0+ is/was 6/17/2013.
Basically what I am getting at, as I am building profiles/tasks, I am trying to determine if/when my profile/task does not work, it is me or is it Tasker not being updated?
I have searched the Nexus 5 Themes and Apps forum here and did not see much mention regarding Tasker. I am posting here rather that Q&A as Tasker is an app.
I appreciate your help.

I use it. No problem for me

Only issue I've run into so far is with the Secure Settings plug in not toggling gps on one of my profiles. Other than that all my other profiles work without issue.

I also have issues with Secure Settings, but that's because Secure Settings hasn't been properly updated I believe.
All my profiles work with Tasker. I had to change some of the complicated ones to reference different directory paths but otherwise fine. Secure Settings profile is working too, but thats to turn off pattern lock....

Turning off pattern lock (I assume is the same as lock screen) is the problem I am having trying to get it to work.

I use Widgetlocker as my main lock screen. When I am not at home, I want the Android stock pattern lock behind it. When I am at home (triggered by WiFi connection) I want it off.
Pattern lock and lock screen are not the same. Pattern lock has it's own specific setting within Secure Settings.
If you want to disable the basic lock screen go to Display/Keyguard and set it to off.

Yes...I want to disable the basic lock screen. I did go to Display/Keyguard and set it to off for the task. I also set the exit task to on. I will try it out again when I get home.
Still trying to find a way for tasker to toggle LTE... secure settings lte toggle plugin only works on cm based roms..

Keylock off works fine for me.
Tasker works perfect for me so far. Also, no issues on Secure Settings. At least for the functions I use it for.
My last Tasker creation was using my old Nexus 4 as a motion camera/IP camera. Whenever I connect to my wifi it disables the camera, Once I leave it turns it on.
Gets pretty creepy when you get false positives and it takes pictures of nothing though
I am having significant problems with Tasker on the N5. I am not able to set profiles by using the cell near state. Whenever I scan for towers when I'm on LTE it returns no results. If I put my phone on 3G, then it finds towers.
This was never a problem on my EVO LTE. I think it has to do with Sprint upgrading towers to Network Vision and this being a triband phone.
Sent from my Nexus 5
I have Tasker set to turn on my wifi when I get in range of my house. Since the N5 has LTE, tasker can't seem to get the cell location thing figured out. It must be different than 3g/edge. I had to set it up to remember cell towers instead.

Cannot get tasker/secure settings to toggle the GPS.
Else, my profiles seem to be working as expected.
Use the secure settings alternative helper to toggle GPS/location settings.

I think tasker has a problem with the triangulation on the LTE network. Anyway...I created a new state, hit phone, then "cell near". Hit the "scan" button and walk around your house so it can pick up the 2 or 3 towers. I then just used the newly created "state" to determine when I was close to my house.

That is what worked for me and it find several towers by my house on LTE. I am on T-Mobile, so that may make a difference.
Introducing LeanDroid:
LeanDroid is a lightweight and incredibly powerful battery saver. It automatically manages the power-hungry radios on your device while the screen is off to significantly lengthen battery life.
Get the most out of your device with the most advanced and efficient battery saver! The no-frills battery saver that actually works!
Features:
-Automatically disables Wi-Fi
-Automatically disables cellular data (root only on Lollipop+)
-Automatically disables cellular radio (root only on Lollipop+)
-Automatically disables Bluetooth
-Automatically disables network location (KitKat+, root only on Lollipop+)
-Automatically disables GPS location (KitKat+, root only on Lollipop+)
-Automatically switches cellular network mode (Lollipop+ and with root)
-Periodically restores connections for sync
-Schedule when LD should be active with the time exception
-Set exceptions for when certain apps are running
-Set exceptions by Wi-Fi name
-Set exceptions by Bluetooth device
-Set exceptions by data transfer speed
-Many more options
-No ads
It can disable WiFi, Cellular Data (2G, 3G, LTE)*, Cellular radio*, Bluetooth, and Location* (networks and GPS) after a certain time with the screen off to conserve battery power and lower data usage. Connections are restored when the screen is turned back on or unlocked, as well as periodically, to allow for notifications to come in. LD will only re-enable connections that it disabled, not all of the selected connections. There are many additional options to set to your preference.
If you have an issue, please email [email protected], or use the contact menu option from the app before leaving a negative review!
Some options explained:
Disable Wi-Fi/Data/Network mode except if active - Connections are only disabled if there is negligible data transfer while the screen is off. Some music services don't "stream" but instead download entire songs at once, and they might do this while the screen is still on. Please set the disable time interval to at least the length of your average song so LD can catch data activity while the screen is off or use the except if "Except if apps running" option.
Disable Wi-Fi except if browser has web login - WiFi is not disabled if it requires a browser login (common for public hotspots or guest networks), so that you do not have to re-enter the password when it is re-enabled.
Disable Wi-Fi except if requires browser login - WiFi is not disabled if it requires a browser login (common for public hotspots or guest networks), so that you do not have to re-enter the password when it is re-enabled.
Disable except if apps running - No connections are disabled if one of the selected apps is found to be running in the foreground or has foreground services. There is a sub-option to also detect background services of the apps.
Restore Data after waiting xx seconds for Wi-Fi to connect - Wait for WiFi to connect before re-enabling cellular data. This prevents data from re-connecting for just a couple of seconds.

You mean so that you can tell how long they were turned off for? Good question, there's gotta be some app that can pull up those statistics. For WiFi, you can check your battery usage chart.
Thanks for the feedback, rate it on Google Play if you get a chance. Bugs, suggestions and feature requests are welcome!

Suggestions:
1. When im playing few multiplayer games like Heroes of Order and Chaos etc, i usually tend to leave my phone aside for one or two min, so with my current setup where the radios are turned off after one min, the internet might get disconnected hence me loosing the game. So if there is a feature which can check if there is data transfer then dont turn off the radios. Same goes with me downloading some files and the radios might turn off causing the download to fail. - I guess it is answered in the description, my mistake
2. Where it says turn on radios to sync/receive after a specific time period, is thee way to only switch on the 2g network to save more juice?
Questions:
1. When the radios are turned on after the specific time period to sync, do all the radios get turned on?
2. Does it already check if there is data transfer and then turn off the radios ?
Edit: Rated the app on Play Store

Suggestion responses:
1. While the screen is on, the connections are never turned off. The time "after" is time after screen off (explained in help dialog or on Play Store).
2) No, there is currently no option to do that. I wouldn't recommend it either. 2G/Edge is so slow it wouldn't even be able to connect and do anything in the brief time it has to sync.
Question responses:
1. Nope, only the connections that were turned off by the app. I will update the app description to make this more clear.
2. Yes I believe right now it is set to a threshold of about 2kB/s. If within the period that it checks, the data transfer is more than this, it will not disable WiFi/data.

Yes, please check for me as this could potentially be a bug. What did it turn off? It should not turn anything off if the device is charging. Also, if you connect a charger after the app has already turned off connections, it should turn them back on. Please ensure you haven't left any other similar apps running. The WiFi turning off with the screen off could also be a system option.
If you do indeed find a problem please let me know what Android version you are running. You can also check the Logcat if you filter for LeanData. Tell me what you see around the time of the problem.

First time caller, long time listener. I'm on the most recent stable Cyanogenmod build, and I have a question, I've tried searching the forums and google but not sure I'm describing the issue correctly.
I am using profiles, 2 separate ones, one for home, one for when I leave home (lose wifi connectivity.) Inside I have the phone data off, and only wifi on, and then when I leave I have that profile set to turn data on, and it seems that I've figured everything out except for that when I leave LTE is not enabled and I cannot find an option where to have that automatically enabled. I get data, but only 3G HSPA+. Yes, I have LTE in my area, and I can manually enable it, but cannot figure out where to set it to automatically enable.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Thank you for your response. Not to sound dumb, but how do I go about leaving it on? Inside my home I don't actually receive LTE coverage, but I do the second I walk outside the door. However with the profiles as they are, when I walk out the door it just stays on 3G/HSPA, unless I actually push the LTE button from the notification bar menu to enable it. Any ideas how to just have it always stay on?

LTE button as in LTE in your quick settings? I never had to manually enable LTE when I had coverage again, which makes it weird for you. Are you "enforcing" "2G/3G" in your profiles?

I've tried it with both 2G/3G checked, and unchecked in the profiles. However each time I have to actually manually turn it on for it to work, when I go outside it's just 3G/HSPA+, I then turn it on, but when I come back inside it goes off (since I don't get LTE inside), but never comes on when I leave again.
If that makes any sense.

Even if I turn it on while inside, for a second it changes my preferred data to LTE, but then after a few seconds of not finding signal goes off and switches back to 3G.
I was primarily trying to use the profiles to turn off mobile data altogether indoors and then on once it loses wifi, but even if I try to leave it on indoors, it doesn't re-enable LTE when I go outside. At least not when I have profiles setup. When I wasn't using profiles it would actually.

Even if I turn it on while inside, for a second it changes my preferred data to LTE, but then after a few seconds of not finding signal goes off and switches back to 3G.
I was primarily trying to use the profiles to turn off mobile data altogether indoors and then on once it loses wifi, but even if I try to leave it on indoors, it doesn't re-enable LTE when I go outside. At least not when I have profiles setup. When I wasn't using profiles it would actually.

Try enforcing "Mobile Data" in your profile that you use for outside, or is it already like that?

Ha, Yeah I noticed that, but it was only that way in my Firefox browser, in IE, the first 2 threads were the 2nd thread which was the one I was referring too.

Mobile Data is enforced for my outside profile, but not the inside one (typically) Though even when I have it enabled on the inside one and turn LTE on manually, it still goes off and changes back to default Preferred Network Type 3G after a few seconds.

Add information...when I turn profiles offf completely using on/off button...Preferred Network type goes to LTE and stays on LTE...doesn't change back even indoors where I don't get LTE...

Really weird, especially if it only happens with Profiles enabled.
It changes to 3G here?:

Ugh, 5 minutes between posts for being new....
Yes sir (or ma'am) that's exactly where it changes, but ONLY when profiles are on. Not when they are off, then it is on LTE and stays on LTE at all times leaving me to in a sense blame profiles...or my configuration of them, though I think it has to do with not having that 4g option under 2g/3g. I'm not positive.

New member struggles.. Somehow I got caught with this:
I'm not entirely sure as I never enforced anything related to data/WiFi in my profiles, only things like volumes and ring mode. I always manually turned Mobile Data on and off manually, and the bug report for CM in the Google search doesn't mention it forcing you to 3G even when not enforcing it on in Profiles, it only mentions the lack of LTE as an option.
We can probably rule out the issue being cause by enabling Profiles, it's probably somehow related to your Profile configurations.

Well, I only have 2 profiles one called automobile, 1 called home. In auto all I did was
enable bluetooth, gps, wifi, data sync, mobile data, each of the 4 volume overrides and use system default lock screen mode,
then for home
enabled bluetooth, wifi, data sync, mobile data, and each of the 4 volume overrides with lock screen disabled...

UGH...I'M A MORON. I had 2g/3g enabled on the home profile, I unchecked it, and it's working as expected. Thank you so much for letting me waste your time...

I just tried enforcing Mobile Data in a profile and it didn't work at all.. I don't know, maybe we have to see if other people have the same issue. Maybe wait for someone else to reply, could just be ROM-specific, carrier specific or somehow device-specific.
Edit: Well that was an easy fix. It's fine, it happens sometimes, wasn't a waste of time at all.

Yeah everything seems fine with 2g/3g off in both profiles. I think I thought that you needed 2g/3g enabled to receive calls indoors which is probably why I turned it on. So frustrating I wasted hours looking up a solution to a PEBKAC issue. Feel dumb for missing that.
