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 your dialer, tap *#*#4636*#*#
A menu will show up:
Phone Information > *scroll down* > Set preferred network type > Choose 3G Only > Done!

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.

Yes the the number worked and I changed the settings you said.:good: Also in case if there is a situation where there is poor 3G range will I able to change to 2G mode by selecting under the preferred network type to 2G, instead of going through this number you said ??

Hi all,
Would like to check if anyone knows how could i set "WCDMA Only" (3G Only) on Galaxy S?
I can only Force 2G only via the settings menu, but not 3G only.
Managed to access the "Phone Info" menu via *#*#4636#*#*, selected "WCDMA Only" from the dropdown box.
However, nothing seemed to be set nor i see any button to save the choice?
Anyone happen to know how can i have it set? Or i could manually set it by applying some settings somewhere?
Thanks alot!
you cant force 3g... you would get no signal if you didnt have a 3g connection

It is also available on the HTC Desire :
WCDMA only
GSM/WCDMA auto
GSM only
*#*#197328640#*#* > debug screen > phone control > network control > band selection
You need to do this after each reboot though as it does not stick.
Is there a way to shortcut this with anycut?

The app Network simplifies the procedure quite a bit. Haven't actually gone into a low signal spot yet to see if it fully works as intended though.

thank you very much..i have been searching this high and low...you save my day..
Thank you so much! This helped me diagnose the SGS and see if I have 1900 3G in my area (1 bar). here's a tip that I used for quick access to the debug screen just as a trial and it actually worked
Enter ONLY *#*#197328640#*# then hit add to contacts (notice there is no * at the end).
Give it a name (Samsung Debug Screen) and tap to edit the number and enter the final * at the end.
Save and exit. Now whenever u want to enter debug mode to change the network or other stuff just type *#*# and it should appear. Tap on the contact and voila!

My operator doesn't have a 2G network... all they have is 3G. There's no point in my phone looking for anything other than a 3G network.
Solution added to FAQ
sorry to ask if this is already answered but how exactly to i get to CONFIRM my wcdma only selection? i check it and nothing happens, data connection stays on "G" symbol. I know for sure that at the place where i tested i get NO 3g signal. which means probably that i should be losing all signal after choosing wcdma only. that does not happen. also if i close the phone info app and reopen it, choice gets back to default (3g/gprs).
any help appreciated... I really need this.
forcing to only 3g is a bad move, i tested it on my n1 and i kept dropping calls once 3g lost signal.

Its available in the new firmware I9000XWJM1
Hey, its there in I9000XWJM1 and tested working great as expected! However its a beta so you may see other issues. Not sure if its there in latest stable.
Just to confirm, i upgraded my firmware to XWJM5 today, and i noticed that in settings > wireless and network > mobile networks, there's a new menu 'network mode' in which there's 3 options - auto / gsm only / wcdma only. Nice touch!
In answer to the cynics, there are times when browsing, when the phone is borderline whether to give you 2g or 3g, it does come in handy, and it's safer too, as if i have to browse on 2g it makes me want to smash the phone up!!

@OP Although 'WCDMA only' mode may not be a good idea and hence not recommended but just to confirm
my current Build i9000XXJPH have following three modes
GSM/WCDMA (auto mode)
GSM only
WCDMA only
JM8 build also have this mode. I noticed that when I flash the i9000M (bell version) previously it didn't have these modes.

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".

*#*#4636#*#*
Choose Phone Information. There you can set it to WCDMA only.
Don't know how it behaves after reboot but it's worth a try.
Hi all, the question i'm about to ask has been asked on the internet before but i couldnt find any satisfactory explanation for it. I wanted to change my Preferred Network Type from 3G to 2G as 3G reception is not available where i live , i read on some forums that using 2G only setting can prevent the phone from searching for 3G network intervally which may save some battery. Now, i'm confused about which mode to choose for 2G , i dialed *#*#4636#*#* and went to Phone Information, then clicked on "Preferred Network Type" which, by default, was on WCDMA Preferred, What option should i change it to? GSM Auto or GSM Only? my phone is an unlocked htc M7_U so i cant choose the GSM/WCDMA/LTE Option (it would hog even more battery i think) . Also , can changing this Preferred Network Type have any effect on anything else besides the 2G/3G Network options? i mean, is it safe as long as i change the Network type to the correct option? Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks.
I think gsm only mode.

thanks , can anyone confirm this? also , does changing Preferred Network Type has any effect on anything else besides switching between 2G/3G/4G mode?

should be fine setting to "GSM only", setting it to "LTE/4G only" could make problems, because most carriers don't support calls over LTE (mine would be an example: so if I set to LTE only, I can't make or receive calls, so when it's on auto, it automatically changes to 2G/3G during a call)
You can also just change the setting in:
Settings -> Mobile data -> Network mode -> GSM Only

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.

Hi friends, we all generally hate it when network automatically switches to the mode in which phone gets strong signal. I mean we really don't like when phone automatically switches to 3G or 2G mode from 4G when the signal of 4G is weak. Since there is no "Only LTE" mode in our device (Honor 9 lite) we need to enable it. How good it'd be when we could enable it without rooting.
Here's the process:
1. Download "Settings Database Editor" (attached below)
2. Open the app
3. Find "hw_networkmode_preference"
You will see its value like "9,3,2,1"
4. Edit this value as "9,3,2,1,11"
5. Save
6. Reboot
Now go to settings > wireless & networks > mobile network > preferred network type
You will see so many network options unlocked.
Select "LTE" to stay in LTE mode no matter how weak 4G signal you have there.
* Root is not required*
Hi, I have got Honor 9 Lite Indian version but when I am using a US based SIM, only Data & text are working and I cannot make & receive calls. Appreciate if anyone could guide on how to resolve this.
