Force Android to use ONLY 3G?

Hi
Is their anyway I could force android to use ONLY the 3G UMTS network ? it keeps jumping to 2g randomly and the download speed drops from 500kb/s to 15 !!!! So its really pissing me off.
If anyone has ANY idea how to do this, please let me know
Krgrds,

Well sometimes 3G networks aren't available and your phone can't connect to them. So it uses 2G networks to preserve the download and the connection

Download Any Cut from the market.
Make a short cut using Activity.
Select Phone Info.
Select from the drop down list towards the bottom "WCDMA only".

there is an option on the hero rom to use only 3g networks

If you did this and were downloading something you would get tons of dropped connections. T-Mobiles 3G is still kinda in its beginning stages and isn't near as available or reliable as the bigger networks (Sprint/verizon/AT&T)

Dude.....YOUR A GENIUS
Thanks abunch for the suggestion !! Yea..it worked just fine
I would have never guessed that one !!
Thanks to everyone else who contributed ! appreciate your help !.
The reason I wanted this is because my G1 sometimes suddenly drops the 3G and goes to 2g in a zone where 3G signal is excellent and im downloading at 400kb.s but for some wierd reason it switches to 2G and I have to wait untill it decides to switch back to 3G. But thats solved now.......FINALLY

That makes sense. I'll have to keep that in mind when STL eventually gets damn 3G

thank you!!!
On my operator (italian - TIM) i was going from 4mbit to 8kbit on "edge"
my operator thanks you also (as i was going to switch to another operator with better coverage)

Set phone for only 3G (WCDMA)
There is yet another way...
From the dialer, type exactly:
*#*#4636#*#*
After a moment, a screen will appear called "Testing". Select the drop-down that says "Phone Information". From there, scroll down to where it should say "WCDMA preferred", and change it to "WCDMA only". Use the back key to get out. It should stay selected even through a reboot.
​This works on CRC1 (the latest US 1.5 "Cupcake" ROM) but I can't say for sure if it will work for other phones (myTouch) or other markets (UK).
It's essentially the same as AnyCut/BetterCut, you're just using a different way to get there. This uses more battery than 2G (GSM), but everyone already knew that, right?
HTH!

I tried this with Internet Radio in the Car and it seem to cut out less often, just wondered if there was any other way to increase the 3G signal on the phone as it has not external connector for a 3g antenna, is it possible to solder a connector in, is there any know mod, it would be so cool to listen to internet radio without so many cut outs.

Hi all i am also trying to do this. I have createt The shortcut just fine but if i follow the shortcut and choose from the dropdown menu It doesnt remember the settings when i quit... And there is no save/apply button. Or is there something i am missing here?? please if someone can help i will be wery happy

Well, for me I just choose WCDMA and wait for a few seconds untill the 3G signal appears then just hit the back button and thats it. Its forced to use 3G only. No need to push any save buttons.

Confirmed not working here either, select wcdma, come out of menu, go back in, and it's already changed it back to gsm/cdma auto. Seems it refuses to apply settings.

Working good using any cut. Thanks!

in my case it does apply settings, soft of. Switching GSM only ---> WCDMA only, all my bars immediately appear and I the phone starts getting a signal. The settings remain there if I check repeatedly. However the setting do not survive the the phone reboot. It goes back to "GSM only" mode and I have no reception. I can help it changing the settings again, but it is quite annoying.
Started happening to my phone after I travelled with it to east europe. Had some troubles there making it work with their sim-card and had to call the provider. They must have fixed something in my phone remotely. Now I'm back to asia and this is kind of **** is happening.

Switch from 2G to 3G

Recently bought a Samsung I897 Captivate. Its a unlocked phone and I'm using it in Argentina with Movistar. My previous phone was a Motorola Milestone, and it sometimes changed the connection from 3G / HSDPA to 2G (EDGE), in 3G areas. The solution was to go to APN settings, enable "2G only", then disabling it, and the phone instantly switched to 3G again.
However, the Captivate doesn't have such option. Setting the phone to Flight Mode its useless, it will keep connecting in 2G.
Only solution I found at the moment was to go to Network Mode (*#0011#) then navigate to Network Control => Band Selection, selecting WCDMA only, and then enabling Automatic again.
That seems to reset the connection.
I searched in the market for free and paid apps to help me fix this issue, but I found nothing, only the Toggle 2G app, but it only works with Cyanogen Mod.
I have some questions:
If I set the connection to WCDMA only, then I'll have no signal at all in 2G areas, right?.
Does anyone know a quicker way to do this?. I tried to make a shortcut to ServiceMode with dg Quickcut but when I try to open it it crashed the phone.
Thanks in advance.

as of right now, there is no "fix" for this. the best you COULD do is to flash Eugene's VibrantHybrid ROM where the "use 2g networks only" option does exist, but you'll lose GPS (for now)

Does the signal strength improve with that rom?.

you should revert back to JH3 if you're going to use Hybrid (I don't believe JH7 is compatible yet, there are some issues that cropped up with SRE, so it would be safer to do JH3, or even better JF6). I've seen slightly better reception and MUCH better battery life running Hybrid

It seems it will be updated soon.
Maybe I'll give it a try.
Do you know if it removes the 850 band?.
I need it, because my carrier uses it for WCDMA.

Try this:
1. In the Market, download Any Cut. (This is a free app) 2. open Any Cut and choose New Shortcut 3. select Activity 4. Scroll down the list until you get to Phone Info 5. Select OK. (this will place the short cut on your homescreen) 6. Open the shortcut and scroll down until you see "Set Preferred Network Type" 7. Choose GSM only and you are set. This forces the phone to EGDE
I used this to force edge. Use google to download AnyCut, it doesn't exist on the market for the unknown reason

I just discovered Juice Defender. One of its features is to set phone to 2G automatically (seems very configurable). I haven't really had a chance to test it, but thought I'd mention it to you anyway

Thanks a lot. I use dg Quickcut for that.
But, I don't need to force EDGE, I need a way to force 3G .
The phone usually switchs to EDGE in 3G areas, and I need to change it back to 3G.
I've used your suggestion to make such shortcut, changed it to WCDMA only, clicked the Disable Radio button twice (because it didn't changed to 3G), and when it switched back to 3G, I changed back the network to GSM / CDMA auto.
What about WCDMA preferred?. Will it try to allways connect to 3G?.

can yall not just dial * # * # 4636 #*#* scroll to the bottom and chnage it there, just so happens i posted a how to earlier in the general section, works on stock ROMS afaik.
also GPS still works

Its called Samservmode. It opens service mode without entering any codes.

Does 2G work on Telus with Milestone?

I'm currently using CM 6.1.2 on my Milestone.
If I switch to 2G mode in the mobile network settings, I have no connection.
If I use the Toggle 2G app, it doesn't seem to really do anything. If I set 2G to use one of the options that don't disconnect me (WCDMA, CDMA or GSM 2g/3g) it still shows 3G in the status bar so I'm not sure what the point is in using the Toggle 2G app.

Wondering the same thing myself...
Does anyone knows the answer?

I am not certain about this (i use rogers), but i believe that telus has no 2G (edge) network. They built a 3G only network just in time for the olympics to replace their cdma network:
So the toggler probably cant find a valid connection and retries 3G.
Manual mode cant find a network at all.
On rogers, i can fallback to 2g. This is normal according to what i think i know.

thanks for the info.
That's what I thought so have given up on the idea of getting 2g to work
I guess when it comes to 3g and saving battery life, juice defender will have to do as it can turn off data when the screen is off but still have the phone working.

Well, I think I made some progress with this.
On my phone, I was also loosing the connection when switching from 3G to 2G but it's working now. I can get calls, it's only the data aver 2G that doesn't work now.
I have the Cronos rom on my phone, I can tell you what I did if you're interested.

Yes please do.
If it works on cm6 then at least I can also save juice by not using juice defender... oh the irony... lol
edit: hey look at all them Canadian flags, eh?!

Took me a lot of time to find the right switches combination.
Anyway, I have Toggle 2G auto managing the 2G/3G and for the bottom 2 options:
2G network: WCDMA preferred (3G/2G)
3G network: GSM auto (PRL)(2G/3G)
If I check under Setting/About/Phone/Status, I see written mobile network type UMTS.

Hmm... I had those 2 settings reversed when using toggly2g
I will try that.
Right now, my mobile network type shows up as HSPA.
Your post prompted me to find the difference and came up with these 2 useful pages just before my head exploded.

Not sure but I don't think so. You can turn off the data but have the phone connected to the 3G network, right?
I think you could get data over 2G but it's just very slow, right?
With Telus I don't think they allow data over 2G.
zeppelinrox, I wonder why yours shows like this, what do you have active under those settings?
What ROMs are you guys using?

When I'm on 2G it shows as UMTS
With 3G (mobile data enabled) I see it alternating from 3G/UMTS to H/HSPA.

I'm on CM6.
My phone always shows HSPA except if I set it to use 2G then it shows GPRS - which is when I have no data and no phone signal.
I did use the Telus baseband file in AOR though... I wonder how it will behave if I use the Canada baseband....
Also, here's a neat trick....
dial *#*#4636#*#*
A Testing App will show up....
Select Phone Information and then goto the bottom.
You can set your preferred Network type.
Ok so that listbox shows all the different options.
The only options that will save are:
GSM only (2g - I get nothing - shows as GPRS)
WCDMA only (3g - shows as HSPA)
GSM auto (PRL) - (3g - shows as HSPA as well)
All the other options either are not selectable or just revert back to GSM auto (as is the case with WCDMA preferred)
I just did a few speed tests and I seem to get faster speeds with GSM auto than I do with WCDMA only
Gonna try that Canada baseband now....
Edit: Same thing. Except the speed test is slower for both WCDMA and GSM autio so best off using the Telus baseband.

The dial trick doesn't work. I dial the sequence as a phone number, right?
It disappears then nothing changes.

ah.. yeah sometimes it takes 2 or 3 tries...
do you use adw launcher?
If so, you can actually create a shortcut for it... I figured it out today.
1 Press and hold on homescreen and select Custom shortcut
2 Press "Pick your activity"
3 Select the second item on the list ie. Activities (with the ADW icon)
4 Wait for all stuff to load, scroll down to Settings, and press the arrow next to it to see the long list of activites that Settings.apk can do.
5 Scroll down near the end of the list, you will see Testing(.TestingSettings)
6. Select that and press OK on the next window.
I also made one for Battery History, which is actually part of the Testing app but is usually only accessible through Spare Parts.

I still can't get the trick to work... doesn't do anything on my phone
Right now I'm on the 2501 rom (latest 2.2.1 from Motorola) and I can say it's the best I've tested so far!
Outstanding battery life!

I found another way to run Testing App.
With Google gesture search you can set it to launch Settings actions
Let it scan and then write "testing" on the screen
Edit: oh crap I mistyped the code.
Its *#*#4636#*#*
I had 4536 before so I fixed it

Well, after doing some more tests and trying different apps (2G/3G switchers) I can say those apps work only if your cell phone company has both 2G/3G network.
In Montreal, only Rogers has both.
Easy to test (btw: I'm using the FroyoMOD rom): go in "Settings" -> "Wireless & Networks" -> "Mobile Network Settings" and check "Use only 2G networks".
See if your cell phone company is listed when you do a search under "Network Operators". If it's not, don't bother using a 2G/3G switcher.
When doing this, in Montreal I see only Rogers listed. If I uncheck "Use only 2G networks" I see all 3 of them: Bell, Telus and Rogers.
Hope this helps!

[Q] Anyone knows how to change HSPA / HSDPA to enable? PLEASE HELP!

hi... my name is Juan and I'm looking for help from chile...
I want to enable HSPA / HSDPA in my samsung galaxy S, because here is very slow our mobile network.
Me and my girlfriend we have the same cellphones, our configs are the same (options, mobile company, acces point names, everything!)
She can "surf" with HSDPA at 1.9mb/s but my phone is always in EDGE and everytime that I make a test with SpeedTest, my speed is 0.07Mb/s!!!!!
I read EVERY PAGE, in the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=837716
and I was looking more for help here...
I sought on internet and I tried EVERYTHING... but nothing happen...
Please, exist another way to change the HSPA / HSDPA from 0 (disable) to 1 (enable)???
please, help!
thank you!

no one?
any idea? change a variable inside the root folder??? please help.
thanks!

First do you have 3g enabled from your operator?
Secondly make sure your network is not set to gsm only in your handset

Im having this problem also.
Trying to flash CM7 and having issues. I believe the answer is to enable HSDPA.
Has anyone managed to successfully get this working. Im on Orange UK if that helps.

Did you followed this procedure:
Go to the phone dialer pad and enter this code: *#301279#
Click [2] CHANGE HSPA REVISION
Click [1] RELEASE 99 (HSPA OFF)
Then you should see something like:
CHANGE_R99
HSDPA OFF, HSUPA OFF
?

I've exactly the same issue. I have tried the *#301279# code and change it to on, but it just won't. I'm going into "Click [2] CHANGE HSPA REVISION" and selecting the HSDPA to on. But if I go back and check the status it is still 0. Is this has something to do with the carrier? Or maybe after selecting the value you need to save something? Desperate!

I have the same problem. I have hsdpa 0 hsupa 0 and can't turn it on anybody has solution ? I wanted flash cm7 but I can't do it without hspa enabled

Yup same issue here. Was going to create a new thread, but perhaps I should bump this one instead.
*#301279 is permanently ingrained in my head now, but I just can't seem to modify any settings through it.
Suggestions if anyone new has come on board?

if you are all running CM7 I think you need to flash to a 2.2 rom, enable HSPA in that rom and then flash back to CM7. I read that somewhere in the tutorials for previous versions and not sure if this bug still exists but just so you know. good luck

Enable 3g from your operator. Then go to settings > wireless and network > mobile networks > [select] use packet data, set network mode to WCDMA/HSDPA/UMTS.
Should work now.

I have the same problem..
but when i go to settings > wireless and network > mobile networks > [select] use packet data, set network mode to DSM/WCDMA (auto mode)
Where is HSDPA & UMTS ?
anyone can help..

This worked for me.
1. dial *#301279#
2. select 2
3. select 3
4. hit back key to exit.
5. go to Settings->Wireless Networks->Mobile Networks>Network
Mode. Select GSM/WCDMA(Auto Mode) or option 1 whatever that is.
6. hit back key to exit.
7. If still not working toggle airplane mode. This step should not be needed though. If you wait a few seconds you should see the 3g/h/h+ appear.

please help with stupid 3g......

I have just got this phone today from T-Mobile UK I have had lots of Samsung phones and have always been able to choose either GSM mode or 3g but on this phone there is not that choice anywhere and my phone because of the area I live in is forever searching for a good 3g signal and it's eating my battery, if I turn off my mobile data then I don't receive my notifications from facebook such as if one of my friends private messages me, is there any way that I can use just 2g (gsm) my battery won't last me half a day at this rate, thanks for any help....

Settings/wireless and network. Push ...More settings/mobile networks/network mode.
There you can choose gsm/gsm+wcdma/wcdma.

I don't have those options I only have gsm+wcdma or wcdma only there is nothing else to choose from I have never had only these two options before..
