Show in mobile network search 2G and 3G networks - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hallo,
I have CyanogenMod 9.0.0RC2 on my Galaxy S and I also have an Sony Xperia Arc S with 4.0.4 and there when you Search for available networks it shows all Operator names and a symbol 2G and 3G. So if a provider has 2G and 3G it is shown twice. Where can I set this option? It must be possible somehow, otherwise Sony coulnd't have done it. It would be great if this is also possible with Android 2.3 as this is the official firmware from Samsung.
Thanks for your help.

hey
it is only possible in a few devices only...like iPhone and sony etc...this is not available in Galaxy S...
instead it decides automaticlly...based on how you select the connection...
Thanks:good:

Thanks for your reply. My primary aim is not to directly choose the network but to see which networks are available. Of course this is also possible with Galaxy S but there I have to scan twice. Once with the option "WCDMA only" and the second with "GSM only".
So this feature seems not to be from android but from hardware driver of the phone. Is this statement correct?

???

Here is a Screenshot that you see what I mean. The "special" about this type of network search is that it shows 2G and 3G networks seperately. And I want that feature for Galaxy S.

[Q] m110s EDGE problem

hi guys
there is a problem need u help
I brought a m110s I9k's Kroean version
It said that it support to work in edge network
but whatever any roms ,there is only G!
i want to konw why?!!!!
and how to slove it
THX!
that sounds like an area reception problem
G (GPRS) and 2G (EDGE) they both run on the international quad band 850/900/1900/2100
I'm a little confused, you have 3g working but you'd rather have edge? 3g is the faster network and possibly the stronger signal, so your phone would prefer to connect to that network. If you are using an older firmware you can play around with the secret codes found here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=721111&highlight=Secret+codes
best code for you to check out would probably be *#*#4636#*#* however Samsung removed or broke these codes 1 or 2 firmware updates ago. Also, you can look into the wireless and network settings and go to the bottom and turn off 3g. Please note that the phone and/or some carriers might not allow data over 2g, I know my carrier doesn't and this phone is designed to be optimized for SKT.
Please let me know if I'm confused about your question and i'll try to rephrase If I can better help you.

thanks 4 u answer,but my operator——China Mobile is support another 3G,TD-SCDMA,so i can‘t use wcdma。and CM is supply edge,so i don’t why,maybe samsung block it。
I was confused because I thought you were connected to "G" (I thought you saw a "G" on your notification bar). Have you tried to disable "3G", this might be able to force you onto an edge network, I don't think it'll work, but it's worth a try if the code I mentioned doesn't work.
Go to settings > wireless & network > 3G data call settings > select "no"

i'v did this .
i want to know dose m110s support EDGE in China?
i see that in #*4636#,the network type is GPRS,how to change in EDGE?
even if you managed to change the settings to EDGE, it wont work
if GPRS is the fastest service provided by the cell phone network
last time i was visiting Cuba, their fastest network wsa only GPRS

CM supply edge
As far as I know, it was blocked, and not without support。
The problem is how to get his support, the same as moto xt701。
maybe it as same as xt701,like you said.
change the radio band maybe will slove the problem ,take it from the euro band or hk band

I didn't see this post from you, you can access settings I can't so we are probably on different FW versions DONT UPDATE:
Try these codes to see if you can update the band

Doesn't china use different gsm networks?
I am having problems with internet all together. I have the Anycall Korean Samsung Galaxy S shw-m110s but I live in the United States and use AT&T but cannot seem to get the internet to work. I entered the correct APN settings but cannot even get an EDGE signal. Anyone have any ideas?
Can any one help to transplant baseband from i9000 to m110s?
Because EDGE is so important for China Mobile. It is hard to afford WCDMA. Thanks!

i dont want to disable 3g network, just want to switch to umts data or hsdpa data as per requirement.. it helps massively saving battery ...
in my case i used the software named "hidden features free sammy edtn" on stock 2.2.1 and switched to release 99(WCDMA DATA ONLY & 3.5G off) then i installed cm7.2, since then im on wcdma data and i cannot switch to hsdpa data... so i need an option to change 3g data DEVELOPERS HELP
I don't know how this will help.

HSDPA is nothing simply some improved version of 3G or similar network... If you don't use mobile data packet, i.e. 3G/2G or any means of connection via sim card then HSDPA is already disabled.

yagya ill explain what im trying to say:
1: if i type *#301279# (HSDPA/HSUPA Control Menu) on stock rom i can disable hsdpa and 3g radio works as R99 mode (UMTS data only, hsdpa off, 3.0G)
2: i try to do the same on cm 7.2, nothing happens,, i dont get a menu
3: i tried appending ro.ril.hsxpa=0 to system.prop in /system using root explorer,,, after many restarts it doesnt work either,,,
u see the problem here is im subscribed to tata docomo 3g network here in india, the 3g data plans are sky high and very much unaffordable.. so im in 2g data plan : luckily my operator allows me to use 3g network but with speed limited to 18kBps because of 2g plan subscription..... so all the time using 3.5G with hsdpa for just 18kBps is useless + its a battery eater even for just chatting !
use the. notification power widget function. it's in cyanogenmod setting.
there's a toggle to change 2G or 3G network.

u see, 3g network mode always does not always imply hsdpa mode to be used.. i want to configure the 3g radio to use only umts packet data(3.0G) and to switch off hsdpa(3.5G) packet data service WHILE USING 3G network all the time... a stock rom can do it, why can't cyanogenmod???
>> an app in android market named "hidden features free sammy edtn" was successfull in enabling/disabling hsdpa in stock rom but it does not work on cm 7.2rc3 !!!

maybe that is the lack from cm7, don't use it if it won't satisfy u.

[Q] UMTS/EDGE Question

I have a problem with my Galaxy Mini. Correct me if I'm wrong, but there is only ONE version of the Galaxy Mini just different firmware, correct? Here's my problem, my phone is stuck on EDGE when its supposed to be on UMTS.. My GF and I both have the same phone, when I put my SIM in her phone I automatically get "H" and I rarely see "3G" (which is good). But when I put the SIM in my phone I ONLY get EDGE "E". Hers is from my countrys carrier and I got mine locally from a retailer unlocked (European Version). This is why I'm confused, if both phones are the same specs and everything why cant I get 3G/UMTS? I later found out we had different firmwares so I flashed mine with the same firmware as hers and still have the same problem. Could it be that I need to flash my Phone Modem with another one? (Idk..) All answers appreciated, Im desperate
Check if you don't have "Use only 2G networks" ticked.
Under mobile network connection there exist an option to only use 2g connections.
Take a look at. If the box is checked then unchecked it to use umts connections.
By the way. H connection is better than 3G.

I'd also like the point out that I'm computer savvy, I dont have "2G Network Only" checked
Maybe you can try to enter *#*#4636#*#* in the phone. You will get to Testing menu, choose Phone Information and then scroll down, there's an option like 'set preferred network' down there and you can choose WCDMA Only. Hope it helps...

[Q] FXP314 phone switches between 2G and 3G mode ??

Hello friends,
I recently installed CM11 FXP314 into my Xperia SP smartphone. The ROM is amazingly smooth and responsive to use. But with one problem is that even though I use preferred network type as 3G mode, the phone sometimes switches itself to 2G mode that results pretty slow internet speed. The stock Sony ROMs doesn't have this issue. Is there anything I can do?? Does the developer can fix this issue ???
Thanks in advance

On my CM11 there are basically 3 options under "Preferred network type" LTE, 3G and 2G. Since my phone is an C5302 model (No LTE support) me selected the 3G mode but the phone sometimes switches to 2G of its own, resulting poor internet speed.

[Q] Problem with 3G data connection

Hi
With my friend purchased 2 Nexus 6. (I bought it from Netherland and my friend in U.S) In our city we have 3G signal. Most of the time I cant connect to 3G connection and only can use 2G (EDGE) but my friend at same time and same place and same operator connect to 3G!
we have the same build number on our phones.
today I try to solve my issue and got some information about this problem that I’ll explain it. Is there anyone can help me to solve it?
In setting >> More >> Celluar networks >> Prefereed network type when i select LTE a green circle added that show now LTE is selected (picture 1) but when I close this menu and again open it , LTE is not selected (picture 2). I tried more than 10 times in different places, even flash latest nexus 6 factory image and test with my friend sim.
After that I tried with *#*#4636#*#* secret code and went to Phone information saw my preferred network type is : LTE/GSM auto (PRL) , and my friend’s phone is LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL).
I changed my settings to LTE/GSM/CDMA. again when i close this page and reopen it it automatically changed to LTE/GSM. (picture 3)
All of our settings are the same. but just when we dial *#*#4636#*#* and go to phone information >> select top menu >> select radio band we have diffrent datas.
My phone just have USA band but my friend has 3 more option (picture 4)!
I hope someone can help me to solve this terrible problem.
P.S. becuase of poor 3G signal in some areas I can't choice WMCDA Only option
thanks

first off you and your friend have different nexus 6. sounds like your friend has a US version and you have the international version. the difference between the two is the radio/frequencies included.
