Couple of things..

First, i would like to know if there is a way to keep the phone's data network ALWAYS on H not on 3G and having them switch back and forth it slows down the internet speed. Is there a setting or something i could change.
Second the notification LED. How can i make it so it can blink quicker.. i dont want to stare at my phone for like 5 seconds to see if its blinking or not...
Third the Swype keyboard ?? is it possible to get that keyboard after i put the Cyanmod ?? That keyboard is way better than the original android one.
I have a Rooted ( S- OFF) G2.
Cyan V6.1.0-RC3.
Thanks!

Your phone is only switching back to 3G if it loses the H signal. So that's an issue of your reception, not something your phone can control.

When i had the nexus one. It was always on 3G. Then i Rooted it. Changed radio etc etc.. and now it was 3g and switched to H like my g2 now. Before i hacked the G2 there was no 3g. It was either H or Edge. And everytime it's on 3G now that it's hacked it doesn't use it.. it simply just takes a few seconds then goes to H.

I use anycut from market.
New shortcut
Activity
Testing
Click on new shortcut
Select phone information
From there I scroll down to force the phone use wcdma.
I don't know if that'll work. You don't need root or anything.
I hope this helps
Sorry if it dont .

It was using 3G before, you just didn't know it. T-Mobile decided that they were going to have their G2's display H for HSPA+ as well as 3G to give people the illusion of almost always using pseudo-4G

The thing is that.. when i do a speed test and my phone is in 3g the speed is around 160-250 kbs then while is testing it switches to HSPA and the speed goes to 2-3mbs.. before I hacked it it was on H. And both of the times I tested in the same place. I understand that tmobile would disguise it.. but its odd that the speed test would switch like that, which didn't happen before. Also 3g and Hspa are two different networks :/
But still thanks for the help.

Data Icons... Or lack of?

OK does this phone actually show anything other than 4g?
I am in a 3g area and I have not ever seen anything but the 4g icon.. Unless I put it in gsm only mode. But on auto or Wcdma mode it stays on the 4g icon.
Also it seems like I have issues with the Internet staying connected even when I have signal.
Also it seems like when I leave my screen off and turn it on the signal is higher than normal but goes down within a few seconds.
Anyone else notice this?

I am having the EXACT same issues. But, I am in a 4G area. Of course I got throttled by blowing through my 5G limit in a week--damn these new toys and massively restrictive internet access at work (financial industry). So now I am on edge for a while; but with the 4G icon up, I cannot hold a data connection at all. It goes on for a few seconds or such, then nothing. The upload icon is always on, but no download. I have to force GSM mode to maintain any sort of connection. The "Auto GSM/Wcdma" does not switch modes efficiently. I think it is continually checking for a 4G connection, thus resetting the 3G/Edge connection it is making. Very frustrating. . . I am hoping someone with make a Auto/4G/3G/Edge toggle so I can drop it on the homescreen rather than digging down for it.

Same thing here. Always on 4g and my wifi is spotty like the first poster. What's the deal?

5gb in one week?? That's insane usage u might need the 10gb option..
The 3g 4g network is the same network.. some towers aren't updated and some phones don't get 4g speeds but that's why it always says 4g

4g Data On/Off Program?

Has anyone found an app to toggle the 4G on/off yet? I realise it is disabled in Android 2.3, but I see they have it working for the Evo and maybe others. I also saw at least one paid app that says it works, but I don't want to pay for it and then find out it doesn't work.
Thanks,

All the 4g toggles I've tried work on WiMax only

Why do you want to disable 4g? Its not like an lte out Wimax radio that causes massive battery drain so why turn it off?

Data Enabler Widget
really? i did not know this. I'm not sure what Sprint uses, but i know when i had sprint if i disabled my mobile data it made my battery last MUCH longer.
most of the standard 4g toggle widgets included in most widget packs, i.e. widgetzoid, do not work on this phone.
the one toggle i have found to work is called "Data Enabler Widget" by "farproc" it is available on the market.
Be aware that picture messaging does NOT work without 4g data on, and you must re enable it before you use it. (wifi too for some stupid reason)

why disable?
I want to disable it primarily because i don't have unlimited data, but also to extend battery life as well. If there is no toggle switch that works I will just have get used to the extra steps of turning it on and off through the settings menu.
Yesterday I used 50% of the data that I would normally use in a month, because I thought I was using wifi, but apparently was not. That tells me that the phone either is not holding the wifi signal at home very well or the wifi is not overriding the data connection. Either way, I need to be turning off the data connection when I am at home or using a wifi hotspot.

if you would take the time to read my post, i just provided you with the exact app you are looking for. it is a widget available on the android market. it is called;
DATA ENABLER WIDGET by farproc.
kthx.

Another option then is any this party power control app. You can turn off mobile data through those.

I always used the power control app on my Hero, but unfortunately the one for this phone doesn't include a data toggle.

reata Enabler Widget
ApexZeph,
I tried the Data Enabler Widget you mentioned and it works perfectly! Thanks!

Sprint's 4G is not the same as HSPA+. HSPA+ is just 3G, or if you wanna feel better, 3.5G. It runs all the time and doesn't use extra battery because you're still only using the 3G radio. Sprint's 4G is WiMax, which is basically glorified Wifi and requires a totally separate radio. It works like Wifi; you turn it on, wait for it to scan and connect to the 4G network (which doesn't even deserve to be called 4G because it sucks ****).
Since you guys are on GSM, what you could do is disable 3G data and that would do it. You'd go to EDGE, but you'd save a ton of battery. Again, 4G is just a marketing term for you guys; you're still just using fast 3G.

Its not?
4G on idle 2 hours: 18% drain from 100%
EDGE idle 2 hours: 5% drain from 100%.
4G is a bleeder.

HSPA+ uses a lot more power than EDGE. Programs like Juice Defender use this fact to their advantage and disable HSPA when the screen is off, and I hear it just about doubles idle battery life.

HSPA+ = 3G. Yes, 3G uses more power than EDGE. It has always been and will always be that way. There is no magical "4G" toggle because HSPA IS 3G. So the only way to turn off your faux-G is to turn off 3G data and fall back to EDGE.

There is no 2g/3g(4g) toggle that works on the stock roms. It will just take you to the settings page where you have to choose GSM/HSPA, GSM only, or HSPA only.

GSM only = 2G only
HSPA = 3G/4G only (remember, they use the same radio)
GSM/HSPA+ = whatever is available, with HSPA having priority.

Hey everyone,
I spent 4 hours this evening reading up on how to Root, CWM, and Flash a ROM onto my SGS2. Contained in one of the threads (I believe it was [ROM][NOV 14]Bombaridier V.2.0) I came across a brief mention of a program which allows the user to toggle 4g Data on/off simply by clicking the icon. I downloaded it, and just now I flashed Bombaridier (awesome ROM btw). That problem is now gone (obviously) and I can not, for the life of me, remember what it was called. I'm hoping someone can throw me a bone here so I don't have to sift through hundreds of pages again in order to find it. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks
Nate

You are probably speaking of Juice Defender but Ill let you know of another program that is better IMO. It's called LLama its event based. I have two events 1. Mobile data on when screen is on and 2. Mobile data off when screen is off. Juice defender does the same thing but every fifften mins turns on 4g grabs emails etc and then turns off again. The reason I think LLama is better is because in my job Ill forget about my phone while working and pick it hours later. yesterday my phone went 2hrs before it dropped from 100% to 99%.

the only problem I find with having mobile data off when screen is off (llama) personally is that I use GV as my text app. and if my mobile data is off, then I won't know that I've received any text.
When in the office, i do not have wifi, so I rely on my data connections for texts. Is there a condition where when the screen is off for 1 minute, then mobile data will be turned off and turn on again every 10 minutes or so (like juice defender) to help me check if i received any text?

4G - 3G Toggle for Verizon GN?

Sorry if this has been asked, but searching for the word "4G" fails for some reason.
I use the Extended Controls widget, but the 4G toggle setting isn't supported on the Nexus (or perhaps for Verizon?), so is there a widget out there that will work with the VZW Nexus?
Thanks!

I found a 4g toggle bewteen SwitcherPro Widgets' toggles...

It says in the market that it doesn't work for LTE. What's up with that?
Might have to wait for a VZW specific ROM that has it in the pulldown menu.

Personally, I'd like something with Tasker/Locale features. Turn off LTE when the screen is off, turn on LTE when it's on...

That's what I have been looking for all day...lte off when screen off. Not that my screen has been of much so far...

Or 4G when screen is on, 3G when screen is off so you still get notifications. Also, an option to auto switch to 3G after the battery gets below a certain level would be nice.
Of course, even running 3G all day, my battery life stinks. I'm going to let it discharge overnight and see if that helps it condition a little.

Glad someone else thought of this
I agree with the idea of LTE being on/off with the screen...however, I would also like to see a toggle as well for times when I'm using the phone but not the internet.

I feel like switching between 4G and 3G that often would hurt your battery life (Keep having to find signal)

I agree. I think it would be a very poor solution. One of the most battery intensive tasks is searching for signal. Doing that every time you turn on and off your screen?
I had and an EVO 4G and now an EVO 3D (my buddy just got a GN LTE and is looking for a 4G toggle) and I've found the best way to preserve battery is to stay on 3G 90% of the time. If I'm about to download a bunch of apps or 3G is just going too damn slow, I quickly toggle on 4G and turn it off before I pocket the phone. Treating it as a "turbo mode" basically.

I don't know of a working toggle as of yet. If you wanted, you can manually change the setting under Settings > Mobile Networks > Network mode and changing it to "CDMA" only

Widgetsoid 2.0 has a 4g enable/disable widget but it says experimental and is greyed out. Hopefully something coming soon...

Have you tried juice defender (free version in market)? I don't live in a 4g area so my lte radio is always off, but hypothetically juice defender would auto toggle the 3g/4g radios.

I'm still searching for a 3g/4g toggle widget or something. I would also like to leave the 4g off except when I am downloading or browsing. My house is also just out of 4g's reach so It would also be nice to disable 4g when on wifi.
Has anyone found anything that works? It seems like it would be a very simple app to create.

I have the Verizon Galaxy Nexus and I had this same problem. I use "Date Enabler Widget" and it works perfect

2nd that. There is a 'toggle' called LTE Switch but it just takes you to the menu item, so it's not a true solution. But it gets us about 80% of the way there. I figure it's only a matter of time until Extended or Widgetsoid get a working toggle.

Locale + widgetsolid combo gives you the option to make a locale rule. It seems to work most of the time....
I'm still waiting for a widget toggle,...

I leave my phone on 4g all the time and get ~13 hours. I tried only 3g and my battery life was significantly less. IMO there isn't a built in switch for a reason.

Fast dormancy causing network issue?

Has anybody noticed that the phone constantly cycles through H+, H, and 3g. Even when the signal is strong and clear.
It seems to slow things down. Like images in the play store don't load while on mobile data.
I'm in Mumbai, on the Vodafone network. Does anybody know if they have fast dormancy enabled.

I also had the note 1, this was never a problem on that phone.
Or this has only started recently. (about the time I've got the note 2)
On the flipside, in New Delhi, it was working just fine even on the note 2.
Something is definitely not right here.

I don'y know if they have it enabled or not but you can disable it anytime you want.
