[Q] Toggle 3G option on Lumia 900? - Nokia Lumia 900

So I did a little research and to toggle 3g on your suppose to go to the dial pad, type in the numbers and it will take you to toggle ens. The problem is I don't have that option. I'm trying to put 3g instead of 4g because there's a go phone Sim card in my phone currently and you can't use 4g with a go phone Sim. Can anyone help?

at&t removed the option. You have to use nokia care suite and downgrade to a much earlier OS, then do the trick. The setting should stick when you use Zune/Windows Phone Mac connector to upgrade back to 7.8

[Q] help!3G connectivity has gone from my phone

my phone can not connect to 3G networks in most of our city, while it used to work just fine in these same places. at first i thought there must be something wrong with the carrier's base stations. but today i tested my SIM card on another LU6200(Korean version of Nitro HD) and it works perfectly both on 3G and 2g networks on that phone. but when i put it back into my phone, it can only get 2G signal. if i set the Preferred Network Type to WCDMA ONLY, it got no signal with just a cross on the signal bar. i have to put it back into GSM ONLY mode to receive signal.if i go out, i can get partial 3G connectivity here and there, but not consistently. sometimes even if i have full 3G bar signals on the status bar, i can not make calls or connect to the internet.i've got this problem probably after i tried to forcibly go into the Phone Info menu.i got repetitive " the process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly" promps , and i just ignored it and tried again. now ,2 options are missing from the menu, LTE/WCDMA/GSM and LTE Global.in place of them, it's UNKNOWN. i already tried flashing KDZ package of no avail. Does this mean a hardware malfucntion or software glitch?Please help!Thank you in advance

LG NITRO-N XDA APP
Well you do HAVE GSM only selected. THATS 2G(EDGE)
for 3G you would need to select WCDMA

No network issue after repair

Hi there,
I recently sent my phone back to HTC because my volume button was stuck, which resulted in it not being able to boot (as it always went straight to recovery). They repaired it, and after three weeks without my phone I know received it back. They 'replaced parts and did a software update.'
Problem is, now I have no mobile network connection. The phone recognises the SIM fine, but no signal and search networks results in "Error while searching for networks."
I'm blaming the software update HTC did, so I send them another email. The thing is, I don't want to send it back AGAIN, I had the phone a full 2 weeks before it broke and haven't been able to use it since. Is there anything you guys can think of that doesn't involve rooting it and losing my warranty (which I will probably need now)?
Thanks a bunch
Hello,
have you tried to switch between the network mode; only WCDMA or only GSM? (Settings->Mobile Network->Network Mode)

Thanks for the reply. Yes I have, no effect. One other weird thing I have noticed since first posting: at the about -> Phone Identity screen, the phone number does not match my actual sim phone number. It reads the SIM fine though, as all my SIM contacts are available.
Could you use/try another SIM Card to check its work with a different one?
Is WiFi working? Any interruptions druing a regular call?

Regular call is impossible, as I have no cellular network at all. Wifi works fine. I am currently unable to try another SIM, as I'd have to cut a microsim out of a regular one and people around don't want to have their card cut up.
The sim works fine in my old nokia though, so I don't think that's the issue.
I'll try to find a friend with an iPhone 4 to try their microsim, but I'm not really counting on it.

Switching between gsm and cdma software?

hmm.. I dunno what happened but I've now knocked both my gsm providers down somehow + Verizon isn't starting with sim in?
I don't have a IMEI in about > status I don't have a verizion hex in there either.. the mode I'm "trying" to run is GSM / WCDMA preferred or global
Can someone explain to me how to switch between the two..? Boz1 told me it was possible and yet.. my radio is now playing dead even with my airvoice/at&t line.. (I'm assuming if I pull out the sim it'll work on Verizon again and it did!) but I want to get it where I can switch between Verizon and one gsm provider through software.. (no reboot)
I have active service at this time with tmobile/lyca, at&t/airvoice and verizion/page plus
I'm currently using cyagenmod 7.2

thanks I looked at that before.. but now I see you "scroll down" still I don't seem to be figuring it out.. I keep hitting no service..
(least with gsm) I have to wonder if it's cause my IEME is blank or something?
Also is there a way to auto-dial the number if I'm going to have to do it every time?

4g/Lte no connection after flashing RR

Hello,
since I updated my OnePlus 3 to the newest Resurrection Remix I have problems with LTE/4g. If i activate Mobile Data, i only get EDGE with a low bandwidth. I called my Mobile Provider and they said, that in my area LTE is working perfect. I eject the SIM Card and placed it into another smartphone and after two sec. i get LTE/4g with a high bandwith. A factory reset, returning to Stock Rom, deleting the APNs didnt work either. Is there any soultion fo this issue?
Maybe I crashed my modem ? Is it possible to flash everything back to Stock ?
Thanks
type *#*#4636#*#* in your phone dialer, phone info, scroll down and set prefered network type to LTE only. you will be unable to call while in this mode so do not have it turned on. just test it if your 4g works

well then your phone is broken or your service provider is messing up. but you already called them and they said that it was all ok on their side. so that means there is certainly something wrong with your phone

Unable to connect to metro pcs phone or data network

I purchased an unlocked zoom that I cannot get connected to metro pcs network. The sim from my zte zmax is same size so I thought I'd be able to at worse change some apn settings & go but have gotten no-where. This phone has single sim & sd slot. I get greyed out signal bars & I believe a red x. It can see t-mobile lte network & others but I don't see metro....which is the same as t-mobile. I can see metro's on the other phone. I'm trying to not go thru metro since they'll deactivate the old phone for sure & I want to keep it as back up if needed. Is there a trick to getting this to work. I thought it was as simple as moving the sim from 1 & installing in another. Any help is appreciated.
