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.

good one

in cm7 theres a widget where you can turn off 3g and switch to 2g, is included in the power settings widget, any chance on getting it while using sense?

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

[Q] Network preferred type

Hello,
I have a Moto G with Android 4.3 and i want to change the network type preferred, but i didnt found this option, i always used the command *#*#4636#*#* and change to "WCDMA Only" in my old phone (Samsung galaxy y duos, Android 2.3.6).
My data acess always oscillates between 2g and 3g, there is other way to force connection only at 3g ?
Thank you guys

I also wanna know that

"WCDMA Only" should force it to be 3g only. That's on every phone I've had, and it works.

I tried. I downloaded but I don't know where to go in this app. I can't find the options or the menu to change to wcdma only. Can you please do a dummy tutorial for me?
Seriously I've stared this app for hours and still no clue

Oh, when you open the app, it's supposed to take you to the menu that you were taking about.
Look and I'm the general or q&a thread, there is another topic about this. Some people are saying theirs are locked from this menu unless they do something else. If I find a link, I'll send it over

Seriously!?
Have you tried to see each option of the app?
I'm gonna try to help you: open the app, there's a menu. The first option should be "Phone Information", tap that.
So you have a lot of information about the radio, your chip, phone number, your provider, cellphone network and more...
Look for the option like "Set prefered network type" (or something like that. I'm trying to imagine how it's written in English, once here I use it in portuguese).
That option is a combobox with a lot of other options to choose. Always use:
"GSM only" (forces to use 2G, saves battery, you can also use that from Android Config Menu)
"WCDMA only" (forces to use 3G, speed up connection, but drains battery)
And "WCDMA prefered" (the phone always try to connect to 3G, but when it's not possible, it gets 2G).
The default option should be "GSM auto (PRL)". Similar to WCDMA prefered, but read this the see difference:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6591742&postcount=2
Be very careful with the other options. CDMA is very different from WCDMA.
CDMA is a different 2G modulation and it's not compatible with GSM neither Moto G.
EvDO is used only in some countries and providers, google to learn about it.
And LTE is 4G connection. I don't know if Moto G radio support that.
Remember: try it in you own risk! I'm not responsable for any connection problems you get. And try not to change nor tap any other option in that menu.
I'm using this app here with any trouble.

Ok, I see this menu, I select my network preferred type but nothing happens...
Am I supposed to do something after select the network type I want?
I mean, the Phone is still changing to 2g...
I'm so frustrated with not being able to force wcdma =/

Problem solved.
Download and install Phone testing from play store.
Thank you guys =]

I am on the same boat. The change I made in (*#*#4636#*#*) - WCDMA prefered - won't save. After each reboot/restart it goes back to GSM PRL.
My G isn't rooted or modified in any way, out of box state with few 3rd party apps.
Maybe is related to APN?

Network mode
HI Friends,
I like to use network preferred mode AUTO (3g/2g),
but from mobile network -> network mode there are only
two option that we can select either "2G" or "3G".
Some days back at first time when I opend this menu
neither of "2G" or "3G" was selected so It was working fine
with by defualt in auto mode.
But once I have selected this option now It is not possible to unselect both
2G as well as 3G and put phone back to auto network select mode.
Can anybody has work around for this.
I tried "Network" app as suggested but not useful for me.

In Settings > Apps you can reset app preferences which deselects 2g and 3g, but not sure it makes any difference. You lose any preferences you set for apps...

Thank You

I need help on using only 2g network as in my are 4g reception is week.I have used all options like hidden menu and all apps in market which gives acces to all hidden menu , but i am unable to force my phne to be on 2g network ,request you to help

Go to the play store and download Intelli3G. Open the app and you will see the "network mode" settings at the top, change your power saving mode to "GSM only (2G)" and change your fast network mode to "LTE/WCDMA". Now whenever you want to use 2G networks, just open the Intelli3G app and use the toggle mode to slow, if you want to switch back to LTE/WCDMA then toggle to fast.

Access Hidden Menu - H915

*#546368#*915#
On the Canadian Freedom Mobile V20 even enabling LTE in the hidden menu, no LTE option available in Mobile Network settings. Apparently, we will get it in a firmware update in coming weeks.
And be careful, if you don't know what you're doing you can disable calling and mobile network access. If you do, try going into 'Field Test', 'Network Mode' and enable 'WCDMA AWS', or 'Automatic' if that doesn't work, should fix it.

This works on the H918

Yes, just use *#546368#*918# instead, 918 instead of 915. :highfive:

Worked awesome on the H910!!!

HTC U11 Drop 4G Network { Latest Android 8 Stock}

Hi
I just got an HTC U11 (128 GB/6 GB) and I updated it to the latest Android Oreo Software No: 2.33.401.19 /Stock No Root
And after update I deleted cash and hard reset the device.
My problem is 4G network drop ....... when I go to the basement the network drop from 4G to 3G, and when I go back upstairs or out of my home, where the 4G network coverage is available the phone keep with 3G network .
Nothing change until I change the network mode say for 2G and get it back to 2G/3G/4G Auto then I will get a 4G or 4G + for a while then it will drop again to H and 3G network !!!
Any fix for this issue ?!
Any body face such an issue ?!
Regards,

After trying the code { *#*#4636#*#* } then phone information then Set Preferred Network Type: according to my Mobile service Support I have to select LTE/CDMA/GSM auto but that option is not available in the list instead there is another select menu item LTE/CDMA/UMTS auto, after selecting this there is no way to save it even after restart.
the selected item by default is LTE/UMTS auto (PRL) ...... and there is no way to change it !!!!

The settings is fine
but I believe that it's some power saving thing implemented in the firmware where changing networks take some time longer than other smartphones.
