Are you running stock? If you arent, make sure you have the correct baseband set through recovery. (AOR forsure has this option)

In my own country, some Telco GSM network are using GPRS instead of EDGE for their 2G mode and WCDMA/UMTS for their 3G mode.
The telco that I am specifically using in my country offers EDGE for their 2G mode and HSDPA as their 3G mode.

You can try forcing your phone to 3G. On your phone dialer, type in *#*#4636#*#* select phone settings, then scroll down and set preferred network type to WCDMA only...
Make a note of the setting before you change it, so that you can switch it back, if you need to...

Who is your carrier?
Do don't have the AT&T version by any chance, do you?
What are the last 4 digits of the serial number?
9100 or 9110?

That's the T-mobile version.
Compare the frequency range of your phone with the operating frequencies of your carrier...
Though, I'm not really sure it masters for GSM (I think the range is the same for both phone versions - 850/900/1800/1900)

I think that is not the problem couse when I select 3g this put it next to the signal but just for e few minutes, then the signal fall down. I need to use 2g for the signal not fall down.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Ok. So you have the T-mobile / International version of the phone (the only other version is the AT&T version). The version you have supports the following frequencies for 3G : 900MHz, 1700MHz and 2100MHz.
What Carrier do you have (who is your phone service through?) Doing a quick search shows that CLARO (Compañia Dominicana de Telefonos, S.A.) is using 850MHz for their 3G. Not sure who you have. (http://92.52.91.22/maps/network.php...ners_info.php&hidcmappath=gsma/do/21989/comb/).
Also do this:
Type *#*#4636#*#* on your phone.
Select 'phone information'.
Scroll down to where it says 'set preferred network type'
What does it say?
My currier is orange Dominicana and their frequencies are 900hz. If i select 3g this put it next to signal but then the internet fall down, when the correct is that if in 3g does not work kept on 2g. But not is so, when the signal fall down is necesary put it in 2g if I whant to continue using the Internet.

I'm in the process of getting a Samsung Galxaxy s i9000 from Europe (a trade) and I would like to know if I could use it on T-Mobile or AT&t in the United States. Would I have to unlock it or is it already unlocked?? Would love to know as soon as possible... thanks...

You should be able to use it on att. Not sure though if even with the proper modem that you can enable 850hz band. Still has 1900 though so you should be good. As far as unlocked goes, depends if it's a carrier model or not.

I currently have T-Mobile so I was wondering if I could use it with T-Mobile. The internet speeds don't really matter much, I just want it to make and receive calls and texts.

You said internet speed doesn't matter much . Edge only I believe.

i9000 supports 3G bands 900/1900/2100
AT&T uses 850 and 1900. So you'll only get 3G on AT&T in 1900 MHz coverage areas.
TMobile uses AWS 3G bands (1700/2100 MHz). It requires BOTH to work on 3G at all, so it will only work on 2G/EDGE.
You could use a Galaxy S i9000T on the entire AT&T 3G coverage, as it supports 850/1900/2100 MHz.
Is there an apn to connect to at&t's edge I get better reception that way can someone help running stock 2.2 froyo no root

If you mean that you want to operate only in edge mode (and not 3g), then dial *#2263# and select GSM bands.

Or download one of the many 2g/3g toggle apps/widgets from the market.

I've just recently acquired an I9305 in the UK. I'm on giffgaff.
It appears there are only 2 allowable modes for the mobile radio, 2G/3G/4G Auto mode, or 3G Only.
Has anyone figured out how to put it into 2G only mode?
Paul
The Australian version has options for 2g only, 3g only or auto. Only option it doesn't have is 4g only. Not sure why the UK version doesn't have the same options.

NatTheCat,
Which network are you on and are you running the stock ROM? I'm on giffgaff (O2), and there is no option for "use only 2gnetworks". I'm also using the stock ROM.

the last ppl to reply dont seem to give the proper info, Yes you can put it in 2G mode only and the way to do it is put it in GSM Only Mode....
GSM = 2G
WCDMA = 3G
LTE = 4G
Settings>More settings>Mobile Networks>Network Mode> GSM ONLY

Pretty sure the OP says he only has 2 options - all or 3G only.
Yeh I just read that lool whoops... i read the last reply and commented in regards to that info and just made sure the correct words were used in the settings options because OP said there is no option for 2G mode and infact he is right it says GSM mode instead of 2G..... 3G 4G 2G are not used for the abbreviations...
To the OP this is Very strange to have those options only , it has to be your Carrier which modified the rom for their network, but why wouldnt they want you on the 2G mode? are you sure they have those bands open maybe they are going to shut down the 2G bands down soon and are prepared lol Who knows ... I am confused on this one sorry bro
Possible option is to flash an Aus rom or some other European one.

Yea it's weird. It was from Orange originally, I then unlocked it and have moved to giffgaff.
Anyone else out there with Orange/EE can confirm only 3G, and 2G/3G/4G Auto network options?
I can confirm that those are the only options on an Orange lte in the UK.

Well that stinks. One good reason to flash a different ROM.

Hi,

hello there, i m using t mobile note 4 in India . Phone is not rooted. The only problem i m facing that i can't use 3g and 4g services.please help..
I am using t-mobile Note 4 in India as well.. I can use 3g and 4g with no problems at all I can use 3g on Idea and 4g on reliance jio. Try selecting a specific 3g network manually like select Idea 3g instead of idea 2g. May be switch the band.
Check the network coverage in your area
