in 2.1
was simple
settings > network > wcdma only
2.2
there is a gsm only
but now wcdma only
*#*#4636#*#* and set
cheers :d forgot bout that
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.

Hi all,
Can anyone please explain to me the difference between the following options in SYSTEM > NOTIFICATION DRAWER > WIDGET BUTTONS > NETWORK MODES?
The options are:
1. 2G/3G+2G
2. 2G/3G Only
3. 2G/3G Only/3G+2G
I understand what option 2 is (2G/3G Only) as this makes sense, but the other two make less sense and I find them quite confusing, especially the 3G+2G parts.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

I can't tell you for sure since i'm on a sense rom, but as I understand it this refers to widget buttons that toggle between 2 or 3 options.
So:
1. 2G/3G+2G => toggles between "2g network only" and "2g or 3g network"
2. 2G/3G Only => toggles between "2g network only" and "3g network only"
3. 2G/3G Only/3G+2G => toggles between "2g network only", "3g network only" and "2g or 3g network"
So the 3G+2G mode would have your phone connect to an available 3G network unless when there is no 3G available in which case it will try to connect to an available 2G network.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Check Mobile Network type in Settings>Wireless and Networks>Mobile Networks> Network Mode>Select GSM/WCDMA auto or WCDMA only.
I think you made it GSM Only, 2G Network shows E. check if you have ticked Use only 2G Network, if yes, untick
I have a rooted Sprint Samsung S6. Stock rooted.
I'm travelling to Canada soon and Chatted with a Sprint Agent about International Roaming. It's called Sprint Open World Plan.
I'm just checking to see if the following procedure will brick my phone for what ever reason:
Before leaving the US: Connect to WiFi and go to: Settings > System Update > Update profile.
Once you arrive, please apply these settings:
Settings > More Networks > Roaming > Roaming Settings > Turn on international Voice.
Settings > More Networks > Mobile Networks > Network Mode > GSM/UMTS > Select Manual.
You will then select: Rogers or TBayTel
thanks!
It won't brick your phone.

works fine -- I travel all over, always works great (and I'm always rooted using my own kernel).
