Choose WCDMA only. This is a 3G only option too.

Thanks, choosing WCDMA locks it into 4G. I don't know if the phone doesn't show the 3G signal Icon on top
If u are in USA it shows 4G instead of 3G or H+. If u have LTE then it shows 4Glte. It's just the icons.

So you don't want 4g?

Because in Chile, while not using the 4G.
Currently this only works on 3G
The long and short of it: The G2X has a bug in the stock ROM that does NOT display 3G at all. So when it's showing 4G, its actually running either 3G or 4G. There is no icon for 3G at all.
I could be wrong and 3G could be tied to the 2G icon, but I've seen 3G speeds far more often when the phone is displaying 4G than I have when its displaying 2G. No one has been able to verify this for me. Obviously if chile doesn't have a 4G Market there is no way to "force" 4G speeds.

On the stock G2x I do not believe you will ever see the 3G symbol. Tmobile 4G signal is just a very fast 3G. They call it 4G. You will only see 2G or 4G on the taskbar.

In network mode, there is only GSM and WCDMA.
The only that works is GMS.
when I use the data plan I get the icon 2G.
I think that actually is 2G, as the navigation goes very slow.
I never appeared on 4G, you can change the ROM?
thanks
The phone displays 3g as 4g. Why I don't know, maybe T-Mobile wanted everyone to think they were getting 4g all over the place when actually they weren't, but it DOES support 3g. Your phone will SAY it's running 4g, but it probably won't be. Run a speed test if you want to see for yourself.

So, let me see if I am reading this correctly. When in Chile, you can only connect to GSM which makes sense. So you never see the 4G symbol? You only see the 2G symbol?
If this is the case, have you done a speedtest to see what kind of data speeds you are really getting?

There is NO switch like that, if you want only 2G then simply set the phone to "GSM only" and it will only get the slow EDGE speeds regardless of what area you are in.
If you do not set the phone for GSM only then the phone will automatically switch to 3G/4G speeds if those speeds are available in whatever area you are in.
Whenever you are in a 3G/4G area you will see a little icon in your notification bar if you have not set the phone up for GSM Only.

You're right... I tried to force GSM Only and failed.
Not sure why you would ever want to force WCDMA only. The phone will always prefer 3G over 2G.

The reason for doing that is if you are somewhere on the outer edge of a 3g/4g connection and it keeps jumping back and forth. All the signal jumping can kill a battery quicker.

When you go into the *#*#4636#*#* screen, select phone information and then hit menu. Select radio band and pick AUS. This locks my phone to 3g/4g.

How to Switch Samsung Infuse 4G i997 to 2G Edge Network. Turn off 3G/4G on Samsung In
Warning: This will work depending on where you’re at. If you’re in a good area with excellent coverage your phone may just stay with the H+ and not switch. Here we go.
Step 1) Dial *#*#4636#*#*
Step 2) Click Phone Information (at the top)
Step 3) Scroll down
Step 4) Click the grey/bluish menu and select GSM only. DON’T SELECT ANY OTHER ONES or you may roam on other carriers.
Why would you do this? You can save battery power by not using the H+ network.

To switch back to 3G or 4G
Step 1) To switch back follow steps 1-3 and then click GSM/WCDMA auto (PRL)
hello,
i hope i put this in the correct forum area.
i have t-mobile as a carrier. i bought two new samsung galaxy ace phones. ace plus and an ace 2. both are the latin models, not the euro models, and have the 850/1900 3g freq, but when i use my tmobile sim, both phones are running on EDGE speed and not 3g. anybody know why and how to get them to run on the 3g, tmobile was a waste of time asking them, no help
thanks
U should enable it in settings>mobile networks. U can either put it on 3G, 2G, OR automatic (for the network to chose which is best)

Hello everyone.
I have a question since I've got my s6. Can you force the phone to only connect to LTE or 3G network only? Because in the network option: the only preferences available are:
-4G/3G/2G
-3G/2G
-3G Only
-2G Only
So what I want is an option like 4G/3G because I'm forced to go to the settings every time I want to have 4G because my phone always connect to 2G, so when I am in a poor signal area, I have to put 3G Only.
I don't want a toggle. I just want to change the network preferences. My phone run XtreSoLite and Xposed is installed.
Thanks guys

OH that's strange, I'm on Tyrannus rom 28.1 and have the option for lte only. Maybe just the rom or your network provider.

I don't want LTE Only. I want a network preference that is "3G and LTE". Not just 3G only or 4G/LTE only.

Ah right, tbf I don't think I've seen this option on any phone I've owned.
Reason being if you go into a 2g area and you only have 3g/4g then your phone will not pick up a signal

I agree with that but in my city. All the areas are at least cover by 3G connection so I can afford it.
It's juste that my S6 always connect to 2G while they are 3G connection, because when I select "3G only", it works.
My post is there just to ask if anyone know about a tweak that can select only 3G and 4G.
Thanks guys
Does anyone know how to lock 4g signal on huawei mate 9? My phone keep dropping to 3g signals although my place got 4g coverage.

If you're lucky and your localization has more options, so you can simply lock 4G in menu:
Settings / More / Mobile Network / Preferred Network Type
What happens if you 'lock' the phone to 4g and you move out of 4g coverage? Or your 4g cell is overloaded?

Sure, it will lost signal.
But, there is no doubt if you're living in city. No overload and good coverage. In that case it's probably better to lock 4G or 3G instead of getting series of jumps from 4g to 3g and back. Well, it's personal choice.
Well my personal choice is to be sure of staying connected. I don't look to see if the phone is on 3g or 4g.
It doesn't matter to me which it is on unless I have a big download. And if I have a big download I would rather it slows down on 3g than drop out and lose it.

What do you mean with "if you are lucky"?
The standard settings only allow you to choose LTE/WCDMA/GSM auto.
We would need a shortcut to the service menu like on other phones where you can set LTE only
