Unless you have a special Nexus with a built-in phone option, no. The Nexus isn't a phone.
It does wifi. And I use my phone as a wifi hotspot when I want to connect away form my home network.

I guess you didn't know that there is a GSM Nexus 7.... It uses the back hauled HSPA+ and will go to 2g/edge in poor signal areas.

In fact, on the GSM variant, there is an options for "only use 2g" the save battery.

Just wanted to confirm; there are actually 3G and an LTE version of the Nexus 7 out there. As to what dropofdreams2 said, there is an option on the 3G model to only use a 2G connection. The tablet will also switch over automatically when there is no 3G service available, or of the signal is too weak.
There is no LTE Nexus 7. It uses back hauled 3g known as HSPA+.

Nope. Each device behaves differently and every person uses theirs differently. The answer is that you will have to find out by doing it yourself.

What are these settings, my nexus 4 when I dialed *#*#4636#*#*
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
This has been known for awhile. They affect the behavior of the signal. GSM autoprl is best because it'll goto 2g networks when 3G isn't available and LTE lets you use AWS LTE if your carrier has any. And CDMA won't work for us and I feel LTE/GSM Auto will first look for LTE but then degrade to 3G then 2G.
Sure, I think so... maybe like 6 weeks ago or something

the N4 has an active LTE chip that can be accessed though a menu ( that you obviously found. ) - It does only work on Canadian LTE bands ( rogers afaik ) and on some lucky markets of AT&T's LTE
It's the 1800 range i believe.
Stock setting is WCDMA

Is there anyway to make the phone show 4g instead of h+ on top....this is on the bwidow rom...i know it on the same hspap system, just a personal preference i guess
Are you sure its the same? Every port that I've tried my data speed has suffered....on speedtest.net I'm not even getting....well just look at the picture.

Is LTE/4G the same thing?
Or is 4g just faster than 3g and LTE is stupid faster than 4g??? I'm confused.
I always thought 4g and LTE were different speeds.

You get 4g but you dont get 4g lte.
Hmm, my wife's phone is 3g and her data speeds kill me on my 4g phone with a ROM that's been ported.
That's why I was thinking I am not getting regular 4g. On stock I put her to shame.
I'm fairly certain that I don't have LTE in my area .

Just look up what speed h+ gets compared to 3g. It should be faster though. You can also always give joker a shot. I get good speeds on it.

Guys/Girls,
For some strange reason I don't have an option for GSM (2G mode) only, I'm on three, anyone else have this same issue?
The problem I have is in my house my signal isn't great, I flick between 3G to browse the internet (as have no WiFi atm until Sky install it), but most of the time my phone will switch to 2G (roaming) which I have almost full signal when this happens. Though when I need to switch from 2G or 3G our visa versa the only way I can do it is search for network's then choose 3G or 2G on three, is there an alternative method?
I've downloaded tasker so I can set up my phone to switch to 2G and stay in that mode when I get home, when I get WiFi, though I'm trying to get my head around it atm. Can tasker solve my problem with a widget etc?
Thanks in advance!

Three is a 3g only network
2g used to be available as a fallback when there was no 3 network but this ended a year or 2 ago

That makes perfect sense now, not sure why I didn't think of that. Though my phone still falls back to a 2G network it just means I don't get a choice if it does it or not.

For tasker you need to be rooted. You need to resign the rom then you can install toggle 2g by themasterbarron which gives a plug in to work with tasker

You are lucky.. Where am the fall back was totally removed so there was no 2g service of any type as there is reasonable 3g coverage. But the signal never carried into my house
3 will remove the ability country wide at some point because the 2g service is provided by another carrier by roaming agreements which obviously costs 3

Ah I thought it was root only, will look into that thanks.
Yeah well if they remove 2G from my area I will have a mega problem as signal as poor very poor! I switched from Orange recently because of poor signal in my house, just got to hope that they increase the 3G coverage first!

Is your phone from Three? If yes, if you flash one of the unbranded images with flashtool (no risk, no data loss) you'll gain many more settings.

Yes it is... When you say no risk does that mean if something goes wrong it and I have to send it to three for repair they won't know? Sorry I've only had HTCs and Samsungs.

Make an ftf backup of your firmware(there is how to in dev section),and you can flash it back when needed.

AW: 2G only mode
"Free" devices interestingly have more options, see screenshot attached.
Make sure to report back your findings in case you unbrand your device.
Your screenshot displays what I was expecting to see on mine...but once I understood that three restrict certain settings in their firmware it made sense.
I will certainly upload a screenshot once I get around to following those instructions

I'm on the Viper One ROM. And my 4g speeds are relatively slow at about 3mbps. Does anyone know why? Before I rooted it was about 20-30mbps.

My 4g speeds on T-Mobile are right around there, lte speeds are what hits the 30mb/s speeds. Have you tried going to a spot where you know you get lte? My phone switches between 4G and lte depending on what part of town I'm in..

This is impossible for cdma 3g, which Sprint uses. It's not a removed feature. There was a work around - the phone had 2 antennas for 3g so this could work.

The EVO 4G LTE could do it on cdma 3g because it had separate antenna paths for 1x (i.e. voice) and 3g data. The HTC One doesn't and can only do voice and on 4g or WiFi.

That is one of the things I liked about the HTC LTE because I could have the GPS up pulling data while on the Bluetooth headset in my truck at the same time.
LTE and voice work fine still. 3g, will never on this phone
