Do I have it?
Collegues Desire shows a "H".
My N1 only ever "3G".
I have a HSDPA account btw.
Yes the N1 is HDSPA as well. Check the network type in Settings -> About this phone -> Status while downloading a file or something (it only use it during data transfers) to confirm. Stock android doesn't use the "H" icon.
It says HDSPA there. Thanks!

I have exhausted every option known to me trying to get access to manual network band selection on the Captivate. The usual codes take me to the correct place, but I get an error message saying it's restricted. My question is will rooting the phone give me access to those menu options? I want the ability to lock the phone to GSM/EDGE or WCDMA at will. If anyone knows a solution to this, please let me know. To clarify: I am not looking to just turn off data and the *#*#info#*#* route doesn't work. Thanks.
Can anyone with a rooted Captivate confirm that you can or cannot access the menu to lock to GSM?

Hi,
No need to Root the phone at all. Just dial *#*#4636#*#* then click on "phone Information" scroll down to the drop down menu & click on it, click on "WCDMA" only & go back. done

This does not affect our phone. It does nothing.

What do you mean by "it does nothign"? I did it & working.
Setting 3G only or 2G only
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.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Doesn't survive a reboot but it's a start.

thanks for this.
but to take this a bit further, is there any way to automate this via a widget?
^Not from a widget in the market
They tend to wind up turning data off all together. Im sure it can be done though

Phone settings, wireless and network, network mode. I don't know if it's present in all roms though. There you can change the network band type

You have been mixed up....
Clear your mind,
*#????# - service menu is service menu,
root is root,
These are two different thing.
I'm not sure if band selection is disabled on all Captivate roms (it definitely is on some) but I have ran a number of I9000-based ones, all of which permitted band selection. Try dialing *#2263# to enter service mode and see if you're able to select the desired band. I'm using Perception 10.1, on which I can use this to modify the band settings and it is retained through a reboot.
I'm running perception 10 and there is an option in settings>wireless and network>mobile network>network mode> wcdma only or GSM only or auto.

Band selection in settings is only in I9000-based roms!!! It's non-available in Cappy-based roms!
What's the difference between using something like APNdroid etc to control mobile data and just going checking
[settings -> wireless & networks -> mobile networks -> data enabled]
Does this do something different?
Effectively the same operation.

Thanks for the fast reply.
Does android not allow an easy way to toggle this? Why change the APN name instead?

As in the widget to toggle data connection on/off? You have to download third party alternative.
I got charged for data even with data when roaming unchecked. Apparently A-GPS disobeys that setting. Changing/"disabling" the APN should work regardless.
I am using an N1 and set it up with Tmobile web2go using the internet2.voicestream.com apn for data and epc.tmobile.com for mms. Now on my G2, I am able to toggle data enabled on and off. On the N1 however, that option is not even available to me. Is there an APN setting I have to have if I'm using web2go or something? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have the data on off option on my nexus one. Though I am using cyanogen ROM but I thought the option was always there...
That is what I thought too but does not seem to be the case. I have the option on my G2. It had micromod's 2.3 on there before and same thing, had no option to toggle data on off, reverted back to stock, still no option. I am assuming its something with APN settings, just not sure what.
Does turning off the mobile data or background data option turn it off? Think its under accounts in main settings.

That option *should* be in Settings --> Wireless & network settings --> Mobile networks.

Yes I know it should be there but it's not. I've also noticed this same exact think on my friends Captivate. There has to be a fix for this.
The option is there on my stockish FRG83D:
Hmm, in that case you could perhaps try one of the various applications available that will toggle your APN settings. I use JuiceDefender; you could use it to create a widget to toggle your data connection from your homescreen.
It's my brothers phone. I'm going to take a look at it later, he said he bought it rooted, had gingerbread on it before hand but asked the guy to revert it to stock before selling it. We'll see.
Ah, so it may or may not actually be stock. If he's looking for a stock experience, I'd suggest following the instructions found in the wiki for reverting back to stock. Otherwise, I'd highly recommend a CyanogenMod ROM for maximum speed and utility.
If it was reverted back to Eclair then it won't have the option, it was added in Froyo.
It could be that, I'll take a look at his phone if I get a chance to go home today. He is a n00b, he is a former iPhone user (not the good kind btw).
He is running Android 2.1-update1 with build EPE76. His phone is rooted, when booting I see the lock icon at the bottom. I've search the forums, can't find the original OTA update.zip file to update it to latest version. Help please?
Download the FRG83 system image from http://developer.htc.com
Use fastboot to flash system.img and boot.img from it to the phone and it will do the rest via OTA.
You are being great help Rusty, thank you. I'm following instructions here (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Fastboot) and my phone has S-On. Since these files are straight from HTC, do I have to go through and make it S-Off?
You can't make an N1 S-OFF, as long as you see a padlock on startup you're good to go.
Thank you Rusty!, you've been great help.
Settings -> More -> Mobile Network -> Select Networks option is greyed out! My carrier wants me to manually select Vodafone 3G instead of Vodafone to get 3G. How do I do this?
why do you care about the name?
the one thats grayed out is the band select.
google market> search > phone info > first menu> set your own band.

it doesnt connect to 3g because there's no 3g network in your area, chose the 2g one or vice versa
Not that simple. Here's what happened: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2034540
On phone information there are 2 ways to change things.
1. Set preferred network type. Options are:
WCDMA preferred,GMS only,WCDMA only,GSM auto (PRL),CDMA auto (PRL),CDMA only,EvDo only,GSM/CDMA auto (PRL),LTE/CDMA/EvDo,LTE/GSM/WCDMA,LTE/CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA(*),LTE only,LTE/WCDMA,Unknown
(*) default
2. Menu -> Select radio band. Options are:
USA Band,Cellular,PCS,2-GMHz IMT2000
DON'T CHANGE THIS ONE!
Yes, I agree (now that I've learned it the hard way!). But the "band select" that souljaboy posted above is for the second option that shouldn't be messed with!

I found the anser for this the other day. You first have to go into Network operators and unckeck Select automatically.
i found the solution
Go to phone settings and you under "SIM Management", default 3g 4g connection, change the SIM preference.
hello every body
more than year searching on how to get 3G on HTC M8 sprint a the band not compitable with my country
i tried many ways and got the easiest one by luck
simple steps
just download application named hidden android setting below link
https: // play .google .com/store/apps/details?id=com. kasitskyi. hiddensettings
then choose BandMode
from the check list choose Automatic
thats all
waiting your feed back
It won't allow you to modify the APN list so I cannot set up 3g usage.
the device should be rooted
note** i used cyanogenmods rom maybe this effect

After doing this, you were able to see "3G" or "H" when you activate data? I think even in 3G, sprint htc m8 shows G only... There's an app called "4G switch" on playstore I use to switch modes. It's red icon with switch symbol. And it doesn't require root. Works on stock rom.

Use anyone of your choice man. Wcdma is 3g, GSM is 2g.
Just upgrade to Marshmallow, you'll get HSPDA - no more EDGE... Drawback is you'll lose native Hotspot functionality; I don't know why but the feature disappears once you upgrade...
