I have exhausted every option known to me trying to get access to manual network band selection on the Captivate. The usual codes take me to the correct place, but I get an error message saying it's restricted. My question is will rooting the phone give me access to those menu options? I want the ability to lock the phone to GSM/EDGE or WCDMA at will. If anyone knows a solution to this, please let me know. To clarify: I am not looking to just turn off data and the *#*#info#*#* route doesn't work. Thanks.
Can anyone with a rooted Captivate confirm that you can or cannot access the menu to lock to GSM?

Hi,
No need to Root the phone at all. Just dial *#*#4636#*#* then click on "phone Information" scroll down to the drop down menu & click on it, click on "WCDMA" only & go back. done

This does not affect our phone. It does nothing.

What do you mean by "it does nothign"? I did it & working.
Setting 3G only or 2G only
I found out that if you go into the dialer and type in *#*#197328640#*#* that it will take you into a menu that will allow you to change it. From the main menu of the ServiceMode screen, select DEBUG SCREEN, then PHONE CONTROL at the bottom, then UE STATE CONTROL. From there select CHANGE RAT TO WCDMA to enable 3G only, and select CHANGE RAT TO GSM for 2G only.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Doesn't survive a reboot but it's a start.

thanks for this.
but to take this a bit further, is there any way to automate this via a widget?
^Not from a widget in the market
They tend to wind up turning data off all together. Im sure it can be done though

Phone settings, wireless and network, network mode. I don't know if it's present in all roms though. There you can change the network band type

You have been mixed up....
Clear your mind,
*#????# - service menu is service menu,
root is root,
These are two different thing.
I'm not sure if band selection is disabled on all Captivate roms (it definitely is on some) but I have ran a number of I9000-based ones, all of which permitted band selection. Try dialing *#2263# to enter service mode and see if you're able to select the desired band. I'm using Perception 10.1, on which I can use this to modify the band settings and it is retained through a reboot.
I'm running perception 10 and there is an option in settings>wireless and network>mobile network>network mode> wcdma only or GSM only or auto.

Band selection in settings is only in I9000-based roms!!! It's non-available in Cappy-based roms!
Hi .. is there anyway to force our Captivate to connect to 2G only ? I can't find the option in the Network Setting.. I've also used the *#*#4636#*#* that I used to use back in the HTC Magic days, but it didn't work ..

tried using the power widget .. no go .. do you have any application in mind ?
There is a long dialer code but it is much easier to download the app called SamServMode from the market. That takes you into service mode where you select [1] Debug Screen, then [8] Phone Control, then [4] UE State Control, then [3] Change RAT to GSM. Im not sure if you then have to tap "Change MODE => GSM" or not but I do for good measure. Now no more 3G! This will revert on a reset but with SamServMode, it's so easy to change, it's not a big deal.

Been using this for a while as 3g signals at the office aren't that good. Although I just added the dialer code as a contact.

thanks for all the reply guys, I've also found another shortcode *#*#2263#*#* .. it's shorter and the menu is easier to understand
Settings -> More -> Mobile Network -> Select Networks option is greyed out! My carrier wants me to manually select Vodafone 3G instead of Vodafone to get 3G. How do I do this?
why do you care about the name?
the one thats grayed out is the band select.
google market> search > phone info > first menu> set your own band.

it doesnt connect to 3g because there's no 3g network in your area, chose the 2g one or vice versa
Not that simple. Here's what happened: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2034540
On phone information there are 2 ways to change things.
1. Set preferred network type. Options are:
WCDMA preferred,GMS only,WCDMA only,GSM auto (PRL),CDMA auto (PRL),CDMA only,EvDo only,GSM/CDMA auto (PRL),LTE/CDMA/EvDo,LTE/GSM/WCDMA,LTE/CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA(*),LTE only,LTE/WCDMA,Unknown
(*) default
2. Menu -> Select radio band. Options are:
USA Band,Cellular,PCS,2-GMHz IMT2000
DON'T CHANGE THIS ONE!
Yes, I agree (now that I've learned it the hard way!). But the "band select" that souljaboy posted above is for the second option that shouldn't be messed with!

I found the anser for this the other day. You first have to go into Network operators and unckeck Select automatically.
i found the solution
Go to phone settings and you under "SIM Management", default 3g 4g connection, change the SIM preference.
hello every body
more than year searching on how to get 3G on HTC M8 sprint a the band not compitable with my country
i tried many ways and got the easiest one by luck
simple steps
just download application named hidden android setting below link
https: // play .google .com/store/apps/details?id=com. kasitskyi. hiddensettings
then choose BandMode
from the check list choose Automatic
thats all
waiting your feed back
It won't allow you to modify the APN list so I cannot set up 3g usage.
the device should be rooted
note** i used cyanogenmods rom maybe this effect

After doing this, you were able to see "3G" or "H" when you activate data? I think even in 3G, sprint htc m8 shows G only... There's an app called "4G switch" on playstore I use to switch modes. It's red icon with switch symbol. And it doesn't require root. Works on stock rom.

Use anyone of your choice man. Wcdma is 3g, GSM is 2g.
Just upgrade to Marshmallow, you'll get HSPDA - no more EDGE... Drawback is you'll lose native Hotspot functionality; I don't know why but the feature disappears once you upgrade...
Hello,
is it possible, to set network to 4G only?
Not 4G/3G/2G. Just 4G.
(I know, that on 4G can't make calls...)
I have 2 sims, and second one should be on 4G only.
Thanx
Search "Tweaker for Huawei" in Google Play Store , it gives you the 4G Only option
Yeah but it works only if rooted
you actually can set p30 pro to LTE only me already try it on my p20 pro and p30 pro and its work wonder,
