Changing to 3g and 2g - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hey guys I was wondering if y'all knew of an app or trick that will let me switch from my 4g to 3 or 2 in a snap without going through dialing stuff and etc? I want to be able to surf the net using 2g or 3g when I'm not at home. When I'm home I use wifi. Thanks!

GTalk doesn't work on 4G?

Hey all.
Running virus ROM for a while now. Never really use 4g as I'm always in a WiFi area. I turned on 4g and noticed I lose connection and can't connect unless I disable 4g.
Is this normal or possibly Rom related ?
Thx.

4G force app

Icant seem to find a way to force my g2 to stay in "4g"
Ihave full conection it just keeps bouncing back and fourth
Between 3g and 4g .. any help?
I dont know but all the roms do that and it does that to save battery, if it stays in 3G it means its just saving battery but when you go to an app that requires the web it goes to 4G for fasters speed.
So basicly devs made it like that to make your phone save battery.
My guess, dont quote me on that.

It switches whilst iam using the browser
And ialways get page load fails
Its switching as itype this
And when iuse my tether it still switches ..its rather annoying
What I did was download the app any cut and make a shortcut to the phone info setting. Once in there just switch from wcdma perferred to wcdma only and that should do it

it will work until you negotiate a new tower, iirc.

That happened fo me too. But I was getting the speed without the icon...it was only when it switchdd that it would f up. I just switchdd radios and downloaded the 4g app pack and it helpdd but didnt fix (only happendd with a couple roms) and on other roms it will say 4g but its a 3g speed...and that ciuld just be the nature of the beast...
Can't believe no one else in the know has commented on this. You c ant force it. PERIOD. That is not how hspa works. The phone plays a small part in the switch but MOST of it is up to the towers discretion. The tower switches you to hspa when the data throughput warrants it. This is a fact not just some crackpot theory. Save your time!
Lol to the person who said devs made it that way. Not making fun just laughing

Downloading freeze when switching between 3 and 4g

Is this normal for 4G devices?
If I begin a download on 3g and change to 4g in the middle, the download stops and does not resume. I can only cancel and atart over. It happens in the reverse as well, if I start on 4g and switch to 3g again it stops. I dont think this happens with wifi, but I cant test now. Anyone else experiance this?

Any way to disable EDGE/GPRS

I've never had an issue with T-Mobile until the last month, and I thought maybe my Note 2 was going wonky but the Note 3 does the same thing. Basically it likes to mostly switch from LTE to EDGE or even GPRS sometimes, and it's driving me insane. If you do *#2263# in the dialer it brings up the network settings and you can force LTE/WCDMA only, but then it never drops down to the battery saving UMTS, which I want to do. There has to be a way to just plain disable EDGE/GPRS completely, or at least change the priority to where it doesn't ever go to those unless it has zero signal of either HSPA, UMTS or LTE. Any ideas?
/sadface. Bump just in case no one saw this.
WCDMA=UMTS
*#*#4636#*#*
Choose phone info
Set to WCDMA only
You won't connect to lte this way but it'll disable the fallback to edge/gprs.
Also, I'd change your apn settings to use the epc.tmobile.com apn instead of the fast.tmobile.com if
you're going to force wcdma.

ROM for making calls and using data at the same time.

Sent from my GT-I9505G using XDA Free mobile app
I'm a looking for a ROM that will allow me to use my data while I am making a phone call. It worked when I was using stock but it doesn't work anymore.
The latest CyanogenMod nightly:

They should all do this. Just know it won't over edge, which is too slow anyway
Calling and data
I have this problem on my drive home from work a lot, with the stick touch wiz the phone doesn't normally distinguish between 4g and 3g. So if I am not calling I get "4g" all the way but when I am on a call a frequently lose data in one 5 to 7 mile stretch. Personally I like the google pay Roms. They are clean and I experience very few force closes compared to CM. GPE and CM also will show you when you have 3g or 4g (H or H+).

Oh it distinguishes it just fine, its just meant to display 4G for 3G and H/H+.. My guess is that data coverage is probably not that good in that area
Thanks.
