Okay i see on Samsung or ATT for some reason is only allowing 3g connections. When i had my nexus one i was able to use gsm only or gsm auto (prl) etc..
Wondering if anyone successfully been able to change the settings when you dial:
*#*#4636#*#* i believe it is.

could possibly be beautiful widgets
edit - it was fancy widgets
i would love to know where you got your wallpaper
Would love a solution. The standard *##info##** pulls up the admin (or whatever) menu but I access band selection it says access restricted. The menue where you can select WCDMA only or GSM/CDMA auto etc is accessible, but the change doesn't stick. I selected GSM only and then backed out but nothing happened. Killed radio and turn on again. Still on 3G. I tried the *#*#197328640#*#* as well with no luck.
If anyone can figure out how, by any means, lock the phone to GSM or enable manual band selection it would be much appreciated.

I found out that if you go into the dialer and type in *#*#197328640#*#* that it will take you into a menu that will allow you to change it. From the main menu of the ServiceMode screen, select DEBUG SCREEN, then PHONE CONTROL at the bottom, then UE STATE CONTROL. From there select CHANGE RAT TO WCDMA to enable 3G only, and select CHANGE RAT TO GSM for 2G only.

This works, Just have to re do every time you reboot
I would also love to find a better solution to the switching- since I am now locked to a non-unlimited data plan!

Yes I sow on my Korean SGS3 SHV-210S and in this menu you could change some factory settings fro SMS, GSM settings and etc., for example instruction for Korean SGS3 like here http://people.sarang.net/2963084

I want to know just for information, because for example in Korean version SGS3 possible to change setting for network priority and etc. see on picture
Maybe no one knows the codes yet.... It should be set on Automatic, My settings by default are perfect ,switches back and forth from 4g to 3g and the change is very quick, It does not lag or stutter at all. Even if there was a code i would never use it lol, But I guess google is your freind for now
Could this mean there is a hidden setting to just switch between WCDMA and GSM automatically?
I'm not yet in an LTE area so its pointless having the phone try to find an LTE connection. Currently I just have it locked into WCDMA but sometimes 3G reception is patchy and I want it to pick GSM automatically.

Maybe
Just Leave it In auto mode its not like your hurting the phone, If it receives a 4G signal it will switch if not then it wont, It doesnt waste any battery
The phone has this option in Settings>More settings>Mobile Networks>Network Mode>AUTO MODE (LTE/GSM/WCDMA <<<<<<<<< This is the default setting. It will switch bands depending what the coverage is. LTE being Priority then GSM then WCDMA
I am 90% of the time in a 3G area and I have it in this mode
*#197328640# - almost the same code as the SGS1.
UMTS->Debug Screen->Phone Control->Network Control->Band Selection would be what one would want to lock only into certain bands.
Guys may be this will be useful for somebody.
*#0*# - using this code you could enter to the hidden service menu and test all main phone hardware functions psychically
Hi,
Where in settings can I find Network modes............. like GSM........... GSM + WCDMA etc?
Hoping to hear from you.
Thanks.

Well I don't use that menu, I use the one in settings > mobile networks > preferred network type
And i'm not sure what your disconnection issue is.

You don't see anything for LTE/GSM?
And what i meant about using data is try to use your signal data, like in maps, the internet, etc, and see if it connects.

No results using data/signal for maps etc, displays error unable to connect, occasionally does get connected a for some time only.........OR on and off connectivity .....unstable.
With Color OS no issues, only when flashed to others like CM 11S or Madi.........

I was washing my dishes and it occurred to me that you said you had the chinese version: That doesn't have the bands that support LTE here in the states, so you are most likely wasting your time on that.
Additionally, the reason why the data probably works on the colorOs rom is cause the APNs are different, which will default to the 2/3G network. You many have to change your APN values in the other roms.
Is there any way to set network mode to 2G/3G only?
In settings there are only options for 5G/LTE or LTE.

Try going settings, network and internet, global roaming, network mode.
Going from other menu is indeed disabled the 3g
cant you use 4g?

I can but during events with large crowds, 4G network can sometimes get so congested where 3G actually works better.
It has to do with having a bad mobile network operator as well

Try this code: 5457#*500#
will let you choose network mode
Can anyone who has already upgraded a Pixel 6a to A13 tell me if the "Allow 2G" option is still available in Settings-->Networks-->SIMs ?
Some people on twitter are saying that they cannot set 2G as a "preferred" network anymore, not sure what it implies.
The option is still here yes. However, you can't set 2G as the preferred network type.
Try this..
Open Dialer
type :- *#*#4636#*#*
Click on Phone info
Select Preferred Network type & Scroll Down & select "GSM Only"
Thank you guys.
Current situation is bizarre for me. I need 2G working for voice only. My carrier is switching 3G off, and I cannot have VoLTE working (despite the corresponding option being enabled and carrier saying that it should work). Currently, when I make a phone call, the 4G data connection gets disabled and voice travels over 3G or 2G. When the phone call is over, 4G data connection gets back on. Since 3G is being switched off, if 2G suddenly became totally unavailable, I simply couldn't make phone calls anymore.

I believe you can get a number with Google Voice, and call thru the app. I haven't used it in a while tho.

I think that probably depends on the carrier, because with my other carrier I have this options:

I used "Toggle Network Type" app on earlier android, but not it can't set 2G as preferred type anymore.
Edit: actually it was Automate app that I used, but neither it nor Toggle network type work.
Not sure if you have tried enabling this option in the SIM settings (something to do with the Tensor Security settings as Google deem 2G to be less secure.

I didn't, because I don't have it. I'm actually on a different phone and rom, and just trying to find a workaround, this is the closest thread to my problem that I found on xda. I'm using Samsung S8, and this rom: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-13-crdroid-android-9-x-for-samsung-galaxy-s8-s8-n8.4516883/
