Hey, could anyone help me out on switching data to 3G or 2G mode ONLY. The one in the settings menu does no good in switching modes...it automatically changes from 3G to 2G while browsing which is annoying.
i had this problem before, download "Network" in the market.
I searched for "network" but could not find any apps related to it. I would appreciate if you could specify the author ? !?

I sometimes have an issue where my phone loses data connectivity in places where I know that I have service. I can get it to refresh and reconnect to the data signal by going into and out of airplane mode, but that's kind of a pain. I've tried opening my browser and repeatedly refreshing google, but that doesn't seem to work as regularly as my airplane mode method.
Is there any way to force the g2 to search for a data signal once it has lost it? Does this ever happen to anyone else?
running CM 6.1.1
If forcing 2G/3G what you are looking for... here download the application shown below =]

once installed just go into phone info I believe? not so sure it's been a while.. then scroll down to either network "GSM ONLY" for 2G or "WCDMA only" for 3G sorry I'm a bit sleepy as I just woke but you can also follow this guide below!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
*#*#4636#*#* - select "Phone Information", scroll down and you can toggle your connection type -
Perfect! I think this is exactly the type of thing I'm looking for. I'll try it out the next time I lose my connection.
Hi,
I would like to use tasker to toggle 3G data on and off within a certain period of time for example from 12pm to 1pm.
I've tried the net setting and the mobile data option toggle/apn option does not work for the Desire. Wifi works fine.
Any work around would be much appreciated.
Related to this post. Is renaming an apn the same as toggling the 3G mobile data connection? Does it save as much power?
Thanks.
guys,help pls! I can browse on market and use facebook built in app and google maps on wifi w/o problems but when I am out of house they do not work but my 3g conection is ok because I am using browser w/o troubles just when I press market,facebook or google maps under 3g/gsm connection they reading and reading...and nothing happen.what to do guys?
thnx in advance
reboot your phone?
Go to Settings - Wireles & Networks - Mobile network and check what's set for Network Mode.
I had set my phone by mistake on GSM only, and 3G was not working. I then changed it to WCDMA (preferred)/GSM and now it activates HSDPA instead of 3G and it works fine.
still not working
reboot did not solve it network change as well as I remember it was ok when I bought it but since I started to use wifi it was gone.the phone cannot load market,built in facebook,google maps.I am holpeless, help pls!
reboot did not solve it
maybe you have slow connection.
on my provider i have 1GB on top speed (almost like ADSL on home)
but after 1gb i get speed of 64kbps and that is realy slow, and market wont work
did u see an icon named "E" or "H" on d status bar...which indicates dat u hav a working data connection which means d problem s d speed of ur netwrk s slow...
if u dont c it then go to settings>wireless&&networks>search for ur networks and register on it...
it is solved.there were three apn points mms,wap,internet and I was using wap when I switched internet apn point on market and gmail and all built in apps started to work.so I am finally happy again.thanks to all on this thread
Hello all, I'm hoping somebody will be able to help. I've got a desire HD on 3 UK (I haven't contacted them coz tech support is useless and I don't want them to know I'm on a custom rom), running LordClock's ICS 8.6.1, My data works fine on 3.5g but as soon as phone switches to 3g I get no data at all. I've tried various roms I've Googled for hours and found no solution. I've checked APNs and tried various versions found on web, I've tried changing the WCDMA preferred option in hidden menu, I've cleaned and reseated the sim, and tried turning airplane mode off and on The annoying thing is data has worked on 3g on Ice cold sandwich in the past, I think v7.3. I was wondering if it had anything to do with build prop and have changed and added various lines but with no success. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated and thanks will be given to anyone who contributes. Thanks.
What do you mean by switching from 3G to 3.5G? There's only a toggle to switch between 2G and Automatic mode (2G/3G) in ICS right? How are you switching between the 2? Also what is this hidden menu where you switch to WCDMA preferred? (Just for my knowledge. I don't know about it). Does it work for you with different ROMs?

Hi sashank, I meant just that when I lose a 3.5g signal and it automatically drops down to a 3g signal I'm not switching it myself, and if u go into the dialer and type *#*#4636#*#* u get a hidden menu called Testing with gives u info bout network or battery, check it out, the WCDMA option is in Phone info.
Hi, I have exactly the same problem. just to clarify, I am on the 3 network too, and when I have H (HSDPA) signal, the internet works..and works well. however as soon as it changes to 3G..the internet doesn't work at all
you should consider flashing other radios
Hi everyone, I searched for a solution for my problem for a very long time, but found nothing. HOX has many issues with gsm network or signal, but mine HOX has a very strange issue with network mode switching. For example, I'm on 3G now and I set the WCDMA prefered in *#*#4636#*#* menu. When 3G becomes unavailable, HOX tries to switch to 2G network. But instead of switching to 2G, I get "No Sim card" icon and after ~30 second network icon disappears. I have to reboot the phone to recover the network. I made some tests and found, that this is not the hardware fault. I tried to change the radio RIL to any available and there is no difference. For now I don't know what to do, what else can I do... I will really appreciate any suggestions.
I can record a video to get things more understandable.
