How to disable 3G?

Is there a way to disable 3G? I don't use it and I know it used a lot of battery.

yes use advancedconfig
go to more settings to to comm manager and add the toggle to that

Alternatively, if you have the band tab enable in start>settings>phone>band, you can just choose "GSM" instead of "Auto" on the first drop-down list.

This works fine on my Fuze, but I would like to have the toggle in Comm Manager.
HOWEVER, when I use AdvancedConfig, the toggle shows up, but it (along with Data connection) is greyed out. Could anyone help? Thanks.

People should also note that setting it to 3G only ALSO saves a lot of battery. Not as much as 2G only, but it is definitely better than 2G+3G because only 1 radio is running instead of 2.
If your area is well covered with 3G and you use data a decent amount, I would recommend trying 3G only.

Disable all T-Mobile Dataplan radio activity?
I use my GSM phone with wifi only - I have no data plan.
Still, my phone looks for 2g and 3g connections when network activity happens and there is no Wifi connection.
Can I disable this behavior? Is there a way to disable both 2G and 3G, all cellular data activity - but still allow cellular phone activity so I can get calls in and out?
I have a 1.5 Cupcake-rooted-rom from haykuro (good stuff, BTW) ...
thanks,

Most chefs cook the option into the Com Manager. Check in there.

Thanks for the help
Disabled 3G by pressing the green phone button>Menu>Alternative...>Band (scroll down) and then select GSM rather than automatic!
Thanks for the help!

Just delete the connection settings from Start>Settings>Connections>Connections>Manage Existing Connections
No way for it to connect without settings

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.

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?

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

AT&T HTC ONE X - 4g setting disabled

Hello,
I recently bought a At&t HTX one X. It has a Unlocked Bootloader and i have also unlocked it so that i can use it with other Service Providers. But i found out that the 4g is always on and when i go into the network setting, the option Data Roaming is disabled.
I am loosing a lot of money because of this.
Under the mobile Network Settings i can only see 3 options .
1. Data Roaming [This option is disabled]
2. Access Point Names
3.Network operators
Can somebody please help me with finding a solution to get 4g disabled?
Thanks in advance

Go to dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#*. Go to phone information, and pick wcdma preferred.
Sent from my One XL

ok cool.. now i see 4 options
1. Phone information
2. Battery information
3. Usage statistics
4. Wifi information
I went to phone information : - set the preferred network type as GSM only
Now i can see the 4g symbol disabled... great
But now i see the "E" symbol on.
How do i get rid of that ?
"GSM only" is this the right option i selected ?

more info
WCDMA preferred option is keeping the 4g active. i am a GSM user so tried GSM only and it worked. but the E symbol is still on.

4g = hspa (3.5g) 4g LTE = LTE
So wcdma preferred = cell and 3g
GSM/wcdma/lte = cell, 3g, LTE

This doesn't work on the AT&T version (and stock ROM), it will just go back to the default setting.
Only way to really shut it off is to flash a ROM with the LTE toggle.

thanks redpoint. can u suggest me a link where i can get step by step instructions to the rom you are referring to.

this has to get asked atleast 5 times a week since the phone came out

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,

Update
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 !!!!
any idea guys

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.

no volte option

I got the phone today, but I there is no volte option in setting. I had volte options in my oneplus 5t. Is there secret codes to force unable the option? I am on three UK sim.

Other way round for me.
On BT Mobile (and EE) UK I could never get 4G calling on my old XZ2. Xperia5 II plugged in sim and it was a notifications bar quick button and available in settings straight away.
Comes under:
Settings -> Network & Internet -> Mobile > Advanced > Calling

I have made few calls and it seem they were made over 4G because status bar icon didn't change from 4G to 3G so I guess I do have VOLTE enabled but I don't have option in setting.
Further more I checked the info section and the volte provision option is enabled and grayed out. I don't understand why I don't have option for volte but it works for don't care much about it now.
Edit = WiFi calling option is available in setting and it works too.

I have 4G Calling option available for my O2 sim and VoLTE for my Telekom sim. WiFi calling option is also there.

I only get VOLTE option on my UK 3 sim. On my Spanish O2 SIM it's not available (though I know for sure the service is enabled but only for certain devices)

Weird, I am using UK 3 SIM as well and I don't get option for volte but I am able to make calls over 4G. Don't know why is option hidden.

It is activated by standard if technically possible. There is no reason to deactivate it, so no switch is needed.

VoLTE/ Wifi calling are enabled by the operator. Maybe your operator has not certified Xperia 5 ii yet.
Check with your operator

4G Calling is actually VoLTE, so you have it and you are using it already as you stated above. No worries! ?

Hi. I asked in another thread about WiFi calling working for the Xperia 5 II on BT Mobile. If 4G calling works then hopefully WiFi calling too?.
Can you confirm? Thx.

I should have clarified my previous post. The selectable option (quick button and menu) is to turn Wifi Calling on/off. VOLTE/4G calling is just fixed as provisioned. You can see this in the service menu (*#*#4636#*#*)
The service providers are clueless when you ask if they do or don't support Wifi/VOLTE calling.
So yes both available and working on BT Mobile.
