When I connect to internet depending on the location sometimes I get the G icon sometimes the H icon.
Is it possible to set it only to connect on H (even if reception is bad, 1 bar only, rather than G with 3-4 bars reception)
Is there an App for it? than can let you choose what you wanna connect to?
I know in my nokia n95 i could go to networking and choose what i wanted but i cant seem to find that on the galaxy s.
any help would be great
thanks
LOL...
G - GPRS
H - HSDPA+ (faster than 3G)
You can't change it, It depends on your signal strength and location.

constant HSDPA+ would also kill your battery too..i would image ye?
Only as much as what constant 3G uses.
im sure its possible because here is how to do it on the Omnia HD, its just a hidden menu setting

we have the same menu on the Galaxy S, so if someone can just figure out how to get to this part then you can do it
That is to increase the speed of the 3G. You can only see results if your using 3G,not sure it will increase the speed of the HSDPA. Also this wont allow you to get more of the signal or allow you to use just 3g or hsdpa for internet, again its down to network signal and location.

You could do *#*#4636#*#* in the phone app and change CDMA/GSM Auto to WCDMA or WCDMA preferred for 3G only, but you will have no service if you leave 3G coverage since it will not revert to standard GSM.

That method didn't work for me when I tried it; each time I re-entered the menu, the settings had reverted to whatever was chosen in Menu -> Settings -> Wireless & Network -> Mobile Networks... either GSM Only or GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) depending on whether the 2G only box was checked.
To get 3G only, enter ServiceMode:
*#*#197328640#*#* -> Debug Screen -> Phone Control -> Network Control -> Band Selection
Choose WCDMA BAND for 3G only.

Yes thank you for this informaion. I was able to get to the service mode but was not able to change the band selection.
I receive the error: RAT Selection Option is Restricted !
theres probably a way to shortcut the screen with anycut but ive given up trying
I cab only get edge at work but it does actualy give me about 100 kbs
I just wanna know if this detail is right on my preferred network phone settings.I've got WCDMA (Preferred) selected,while other settings like GSM/CDMA etc were not ticked. Is that the right settings "WCDMA (Preferred)" for a mobile network in UK and on 3UK network?Thanks
WCDMA is also referred to as UMTS which is the technology behind 3G, so WCDMA (preferred) simply means that it will use 3G when it can.
oh,cheers for that.Now I get it
Is there a way to toggle 3g off in the settings and just use edge? The only option I see is to just disable data alltogether, but I don't wanna do that.

You can toggle between WCDMA and GSM.
WCDMA will give you "H".
GSM will alternate between 3g and Edge.
AFAIK there is no way to seperate 3g and E, although i could be wrong and hope i am because it would be useful.
Wondering if there is a way in the network settings to force 2G ONLY or 4G?
WDCMA Preferred
GSM Only
Something like that?
Only way is dialing *#*#4636#*#*
And selecting it there.

This app is much faster than dialing:

I use it all the time to quickly change from HSPA to EDGE.
You're welcome.
Hi
Currently I'm not being able to get the 4G network and in mu country they're using the 1800 frequency (LTE 1800).
Is there a way to change it in the settings so as I can get hold of the 4G?
Thanks.

You should get 4g on the 1800 frequency. You can change between 3g and 4g in mobile data settings. However even if your network has 4g it will display 3g if you are not in a strong 4g signal area. It is the same here in the UK, 4g is fine where I live but I go over a bridge 5 minutes walk away and I can only get 3g! On some networks you need a new sim card for 4g to work as I did. Also do you have the correct APN settings for your network?
Yes I have the correct APN; otherwise if it's wrong I won't even get any data connection. Yes, I might be in a region where it's weak or unavailable but when I'm in a region fully covered by 4G, just outside the HQ of Orange, I still don't get it.
Try using mtk engineering mode app from play store(by go! or themonster) to force LTE - it's under telephony/network selecting.
yes then what do you do?
