Is there a way to force the GNex to use EvDo for 3G, rather than eHRPD? I know the Thunderbolt had a modem settings menu (##778, or something similar) where you could do this. Seems like it might help to be able to do this when the eHRPD network is being flaky.

I was wondering how one switches from 4g to 3g(which i think people here call edge) to save battery.
I dont see it anywhere in settings so i wasnt sure what people did..
Thanks!
I think you mean 3g to 2g. This phone does not have "4g". It's just 3g with higher throughput.
I'm not sure if you can on the stock rom without a USSD code. But on custom roms it's:
Settings
Wireless and network
Mobile networks
Network mode
GSM only.
Unfortunately apps like llama/JuiceDefender can't do it automatically when you're on WiFi or not using data because Google "blocked" it. I think CM7 allows apps to control 2g/3g toggle though.
I thought if your wifi was on the 4g was turned off.
Also, on stock 2.5.- the system folder for wireless settings has a choice to only use the edge frequency. I don't know for any of the modded roms or the newer stock 2.6.- versions. Hope this helped.
T-Mobile uses 3.5g(which they call it 4g) a more advance 3g speeds so a with a 4g/3g toggle wouldn't do any good unless you wanna go to edge/2g. is not like Verizon where I think you have your Band for 2g/3g and a separate Band for 4g so what the toggle does its just turn off the 4g Band and automatically goes to 3g. but with Tmobile your have your Bands for 1g/2g and another band for 3g/3.5g(fake 4g) so using a toggle you would only be blocking 3g.
Hey everyone, I'm not sure if it is possible, but does anyone know of a way to force the modem to use EVDO rev0 instead of revA?
I'm noticing on my speed tests that I am getting faster speeds at my house when the network is shown as connected to rev0 rather than revA.
Thanks
i notice the same
If your talking about using 1x instead of 3G I have noticed that as well, there just isnt a simple way of doing it. You can try ##debug# in your dialer, type in your MSL, go to others select HDR/1x selection, then select CDMA only mode then press ok then you will always be on 1x
hmmm.. good observation
Rev0 and 1x are not the same plus when 3g roaming it uses rev0 too

Yeah I'm not talking about 1x/3G, I'm just referring to 3G. I remember on my old Touch Pro 2 there was a way to disable revA, but I can't find it on this phone.
That's interesting I never new about that.
I was just wondering what network settings Sprint users are you for the best signal?? What I mean is what preferred network type are you using. I have noticed since I roam at home mine is mostly on unknown but a fresh boot up of stock starts on GSM/cdma auto prl. But I get the best signal when I change it to cdma auto prl. On GSM/cdma auto prl I'm roaming but I don't get any bars and data connection turns on and off but cdma auto prl I get at least one bar in and out but data stays connected and all my texts and calls come straight through. On any other setting its no telling when I'll receive a notification could be hours or days long as I'm home. But I have noticed that having it on cdma auto prl I get slower speeds like it picks evdo rev: 0:7 and fluctuates between that rev A and 1x. There is another setting in a different menu I can't really remember what it's called I forgot the dialer code to get to the menu I think it's like ehrpd or something like that. Any help or opinions greatly appreciated I think there are settings that are making this phone so slow on data my Photon is a lot faster on 3g than my nexus but Motorola will lie about your signal unless you know better but its always got a stronger signal and faster connection. One more question does a kernel have anything to do with good or bad signals I see my phone acts different with different kernels like stronger signal faster connection and vice versa.
Thank you

I was mucking about like an idiot in the ##DATA# menu and in trying to get LTE here (we're covered but my phone doesn't seem able to connect), I hit "reset APN defaults" and the 6 options I had turned into 2.
No big deal you'd think but now I can't even get a 3G signal with CDMA/LTE as my option in the regular network area of the OS. I can only get a 3G signal when I have CDMA (exclusively) selected.
The weird part is I do get a temporary 3G signal when I update my profile or PRL but then it vanishes again upon completion. I also get 3G when I force roam with Roam Control.
Does anyone have any ideas? How can I get that old APN menu back and/or fix this lack of data when not in CDMA only mode?
For anyone who runs into the same issue, your bog standard factory reset takes care of it.
Is there a method to switch to 3G when I'm in certain area? My work has fairly weak LTE signal and my phone is constantly switching between 3G and LTE. I would like to set it so that when I'm at work, the phone will use 3G only and LTE everywhere else. I tried checking tasked but I just can't figure out how.
Thanks
Settings -> connections -> more networks >- mobile networks -> network mode... select what you want there.
