[Q] How to put I9305 into 2G only mode??

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.
Thanks.

SGA supports 3G.

It also depends on coverage area, at some places 3g doesn't work.
And might be sure if you have selected only 2g option from network settings.

LTE question

I know our phones Hardware is exactly the same as the att note so my question is.. If it's identical hardware wise and with tmobile now has LTE wouldn't our phone be able to access the LTE? I'm on 10.1 and there is an apn that says tmobile LTE and I selected that. and in preferred network I put it on LTE/GSM/WCDMA... and the data all works and it does seem to be faster. I did a speed test and got 5 mpbs. I usually get 3-4....maybe I got partial LTE?? any expert advice is embraced! Thank you

I think you have to patch the radio to get it and even then, your battery takes a hit. I get a constant 10mbps down here in Los Angeles using the stock radio on HSPA+. If you are just changing your APN settings without patching, I'm not sure you are getting anything from LTE, especially if it's only 5 mbps.

Hey fraughtsiguewolf nice to see u reply... How or where can we find the patch?

I don't think there is one for our phone. I only saw it for the Nexus.

[Q] How do I get Tmobile 3G connection on Family Mobile?

Hey Guys,
I just got a new Xperia SP (C503) that is factory unlocked. I am currently using it on Walmart Family mobile (T-Mobile) plan but I can only get Edge data connection speeds. Is there a way to get 3G on this phone on the Family Mobile network.

Have you tried adjusting the network settings found in settings/more/network mode then set it to wcdma preferred(gsm)
Once changed a reboot will be needed.
If you have done this then maybe somebody else can help

That is the setting I have it on. I am wondering if it has something to do with the APN settings. I have called the Family Mobile support but they weren't helpful. Can someone help? Anyone?

To get the APN look under xperia in settings for get internet and MMS settings sent to phone.
Again if you have done this I really don't know....I am assuming your area is/has 3g coverage/ready

C5303 isn't compatible with T-Mobile for 3G or LTE. You could get 3G on AT&T, or if you want to stick with Family Mobile you would need the C5302 to get 3G.
Have a look at gsmnation.com to check compatibility.

Does your network have LTE available?
*edit: If you're using Du or Etisalat I guess it would be available.

Thanks for your response sir. Yes we do have LTE here and im using etisalat, but when i navigate to network settings it does not show an LTE or 4g option. Im thinking because ive bought this d955 which is europe model unlike some other folks here using the d958.but while comparing the LTE bands its almost the same with mine . I dont know exactly how to check it..

Due to the fact that you bought EU version there is possibility that 4G mode will be disabled by software. On other models it's possible to unlock it by editig build.prop file or you can try to change mode by using *#*#4636#*#* (I'm not sure if it works on this model) code and then choose LTE/WCDMA/GSM auto mode.

There were no LTE option there its just wifi option .battery,phone status and statistics only..i hope it would be possible..thanks for the tips btw.

Go to Phone Status and then you will find preffered network mode...
It's not the best solution because each restart require enabling 4G mode from beggining but it's better then nothing
Good luck!!!

To start, whats the network coverage in your areas for the provider your using? Have you done a coverage check to see if your in a 4g area?

There are three codes through that u can access hidden menu..
Remember the previous settings before changing something and if didn't help then after reboot go back to previous settings..
U have to tick/select ur network LTE band in RAT settings..
Or Have to select Automatically detected..
3845#*340# Change 340 to ur model

You Should have correct APN settings from your provider to get LTE and you should be in LTE coverage area.
You should Select Bands According to your network provider. Or on auto mode..
Use 5457#*955# code to get hidden menu

It shows invalid mmi when i put that code in ?

Use 3845#*955# and go to "LTE- Only" settings.
Also send me ur stock Build.prop and featureset.XML file to read settings.

I type the 8845#*955# at the phone dialer and it givesme coection problem or invalid mmi. Is the build prop on abkut phones because i have build number jdq39b?

3845#*955#
Check for numbers again. Your are using wrong code

Sorry i am typing 3845#*955# then talk and it says mmi is wrong when i dial that code
