Hi,
If you were like me, you were frustrated when you switched to CM12 and didn't receive any notifications/text/calls while on WiFi. This was a huge deal breaker for me. I do more on messages/emails/notifications than phone calls, so I was extremely upset not to receive texts in real time!
1) You shut off wifi and all of a sudden you'd receive a flood of messages.
2) You tried flashing all the modems and nightlies to get updated firmware and modems
3) You gave up and just went back to Kitkat.
Now there is a FIX!
And it has nothing to do with flashing any zips or changing firmware/modems!
It's all about the "Preferred network type"
1) You can find this in "Mobile network settings" change from 2G/3G/LTE to 2G/3G when on wifi and change it back when you are off wifi. Now doing this manually can be a pain in the ***, this is why we have the second option of automatically doing it with:
2) "Profiles"
Create 2 profiles (e.g. Home & Default)
Be connected to your wifi.
Setup Home (my own home wifi) "Triggers which will activate this profile" and click on "Wi-Fi" and then click on your network name and have it "on connect", hit back.
Scroll down to "Wireless & networks" and change "Preferred network type" to 2G/3G.
Done with First profile
Setup Default (when off of wifi's) "triggers which will activate this profile" and click on "Wi-Fi" and click on the network name you're currently connected to, and have it "on disconnect, hit back.
Scroll down to "Wireless & networks" and change "Preferred network type" to 2G/3G/LTE.
Summary: This will switch your profile when connected to wifi to use 2G/3G only, as you have your wifi to use the internet. This will allow calls/texts/notifications to go through 2G/3G. When you're off of wifi, it'll switch to the Default profile which uses LTE.
What I do:
1) My Default profile has multiple disconnections, my home wifi, work wifi, bluetooth to the car when disconnected will switch my profile to Default.
2) I have a Work Profile, Home Profile, Car Profile which on wifi/bluetooth connect, will change into their profiles. Work and Home are connected to wifi, so I changed the "Preferred network type" to 2G/3G. Car and Default profiles will change "Preferred network type to" 2G/3G/LTE.
Hope this helps you guys with the no text/calls/notification issues while on wifi!
Probably not intended by CM, a little fix around for now until they solve this one with some coding.
If it works, please thank! =)

Another solution that is more permanent is to flash the modem from CM 11s and the Proximity sensor fix. I also had this issue and have not had it since.
Enjoy!

when i am at home i would like to use my wifi connection but it appears that it still tries to use edge. how do i configure my connections so that it uses wifi if connected?
thanks
Hey,
have you properly set up ur wifi connection on ur device including any password protection and security (WEP/WPA etc).
Also and this might seem daft, but is ur wifi connection on router properly working or have you set up any access restrictions on router?
its not a question on whether the wifi connection actually works but edge overriding it.
but... yes i did all of the necessary steps to add my device (wep password, mac address added etc...)
if i turn the phone off the wifi works just fine.
thanks for the reply.
Hy,
you have to set the networks (Internet and Private Network) to "My Work Network".
Does this not work you have to make a rom update.
Greatz
mccoffein
You will find it at Settings -> Connections -> Connections -> Avanced -> Select Networks
that just makes everything not work
Which rom version do you have? Which device do you have? Which Provider Label do you have?
its all in my sig
I find that if I want to switch from cellular data to WiFi, I have to hit the Data button in the Comm Manager, then hit the WiFi button. Otherwise, it doesn't seem to switch. If I just turn on WiFi, it connects, but never know which one is going to be used.
Go to:
Touch "Start > Settings > Connections > Connections > Advanced > Network Selection.
Set both settings to "Office Network"
If this does not work then install a small file called "No data" or "Modaco No data"

no data works by removing a registry key for your connection settings..... so it will also disable your picture messaging and/or email if you use it. (just a heads up)
I've got an Xda Orbit 2, which I like. I use the wifi connection a lot, but would like the phone to default to wifi if it is available, instead of trying to make a data connection. Is this possible?I've seen this somewhere before, so apologies if it's been covered before.
TIA

Go to settings -> connections -> connections... then tap header advanced... then press button choose network...
for both options choose company network...
now the device is not using other connections anymore...
now you can turn on your wifi... it establishes a connection as soon as there is one reachable...
Thanks, sinoo, I'll give that a try

So I finally jumped in and got the WanHu ROM installed with M's v5 patch. This thing is really nice now, hopefully it will stay that way even after I reinstall some of my apps.
One thing that I've noticed is that the ability to use only 2G networks is gone. It used to be an option under Settings » Wireless controls » Mobile networks. Any chance that may be coming back?
I know some people would probably think I'm crazy to be asking that, but in my experience the batter life was pretty much double that of what I was getting on 3G, so I'd use that mode sometimes.
Thanks for all the good work on the WanHu ROM.
You can turn off the 3g at Settings >> Wireless networks >> Data Network settings & there is also a 3g widget.
Hi,
At this point you only turn data on or off. You cannot switch from 3g to 2g.
I would like to have this feature to, because the radio at my work is very poor and the battery last much longer in 2g.
Sent from my XT720 using XDA App
switch 2g , 3g, and 2g/3g
if i have to change the default network setting (3, which mean 3g/2g auto), i can from here:
1. from the dialpad dial *#*#4636#*#*
2. from the popued menu, choose Phone Information
3. from "Set preffered network type" You can choose several options including:
"GSM auto (PRL)" (this is usually default and means 3g and failback to 2g, depending on signal
"WCDMA prefered" (this mean 3g and if there is no 3g, then 2g), this settings seems to wotk, but if you exit and return to the same menu it is changed
"WCDMA only" 3g only
"GMS only" 2g only
hope that helps.
p.s. I use Battery monitor application, which has shortcut to the Phone Information menu.

Thanks for the reply. I was messing around in those menus and could not find a "GSM only" mode on my phone. I will look again, but all I remember were an "auto" mode, a "3g only" mode, and a bunch of CDMA stuff (which doesn't apply to our phones).
But I will look again and try out the battery monitor application program as that would be nicer than typing the key sequence everytime.
And just to expand my (rather small) knowledge of the android OS. The option to select only 2G under Settings » Wireless controls » Mobile networks, is that a framework thing that has to be added?

Hi there!
I've some problems with my G-Nexus 5, as wroten in title,
the Wi-Fi and the 3g connection disconnects me during utilizing it,
if i look on the icons of wi-fi or 3g i can see that i'm not receiving any data and i cant continue to surf in web or by enjoying a game online.
So the question is its a hardware or a software problem, and if another one had the same problem.
So noone had this issue?
Sounds like hardware if this happens both to 3G and WIFI.
How do you fix it? Toggle Wifi? Airplane mode? Restart phone?
After a bit it begins to surf something like 5-10 seconds
I get the same problem on my 3G, it doesn't happen while I'm on WiFi. I have to disable/enable data or airplane mode on/off to get this working again. Also I have noticed that when signal changes from 3G to EDGE and then back to 3G I don't have data working. Need to to the same trick to have that back. It's annoying and you don't know when it working or not unless you check your phone....and lose notification from Facebook Messenger or Whatsapp which i use a lot.
I wrote to google lets see what do they say....
I got realy bored about thia issue.
I would verify that your apn settings are correct. Either call your carrier or maybe google your ("carrier name" apn settings). Also... Settings/Wireless & networks/More/Mobile networks/Preferred network type, is correct. I do know that in my case as far as wifi I get better results (quicker to connect) if the "Advanced " settings for "WiFi frequency band" is set to 2.4 GHz only. Default is Auto. Worth a shot.

Tried does'nt work, i loos the connection anyway
What I am trying to do is have ONLY 3G connection manually, to do this i added a tile in notification bar for 2G to 2G/3G switch, so when i select 2G|3G mode it connects to 3G but after some time it automatically selects 2G (because its 2G|3G, either strong one i guess).
I have also tried selected 3G in network settings, selecting LTE(recommended) also doesn't work.
But I want to be it in 3G mode exclusively even though 2G signal is better.
I have a rooted OPO and can install xposed too, any solution for this will be really helpful !!
Hi
Think you can do this by "dailing" the string *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer app, to bring up the Testing menu. Press "Phone information", then scroll down to "Set prefered network type", there is an option for "WCDMA only".
