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
http://forums.samsungi8910omnia.com...ncrease-web-browsing-speed-when-using-3g.html
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.

Yes thank you for this informaion. I was able to get to the service mode but was not able to change the band selection.
I receive the error: RAT Selection Option is Restricted !
theres probably a way to shortcut the screen with anycut but ive given up trying
I cab only get edge at work but it does actualy give me about 100 kbs
Type dialer *#197328640# and go to UMTS>DEBUG SCREEN>PHONE CONTROL>NETWORK CONTROL>BAND SELECTION>GSM BAND OR WCDMA BAND
important...
1. hit your conty carier network band. others not working eg, sri lanka gsm band is 900/1800. wcdma 2000
2, dont hit any other options. if hit you may broke your rom.
3. befor you going to flash another rom first hit the band to automatic
UMTS>DEBUG SCREEN>PHONE CONTROL>NETWORK CONTROL>BAND SELECTION>automatic
if you help this advice just hit the thanks button.

It is easier to just type "*#2263#" in your dialer because it takes you directly to the network selections you are referring to.

Some carriers use restrictions (RAT restrictions) to prevent this.

In this case..such as with AT&T, you would dial *#197328640# and go to UMTS>DEBUG SCREEN>PHONE CONTROL>NETWORK LOCK>RAT_FREE_SUPPORTITNG ON (supporting is misspelled with the last T and I swapped around). After this you can use the OP method or from the dialer type *#2263# which takes you directly to the band selection options. Whenever I was running stock rom, I used this method all the time. The one catch with RAT restrictions is you have to redo the option to unlock the RAT every time you reboot.
There are four options under band selection: Automatic will allow for LTE, 3.5G, and 2G depending on what signals are available. However if you choose one of the other three options, it locks into that particular bandwidth. If you choose LTE you will only have data capabilities since LTE does not currently handle voice calls. If you move out of an LTE area, you will no signal. The same applies to all except for automatic which switches between bands as needed.
On the other hand if you are trying to disable LTE only, then there is a completely separate method of doing this (assuming that network preferences does not work). Create an APN and just name if Fake. Once created, enable it and exit and go to dialer. You will lose data, but this is only temp. You must wait about 25 seconds then dial *#*#4636#*#* and choose "Device Information". You will see a dropdown menu that says "WCDMA preferred". Change this to "GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) and exit. Go back to the APN settings and switch to the one that works for LTE. However, you will now only have 2g and 3g capability with LTE disabled. This will last until reboot, airplane mode, or an option is chosen from one of the dialer methods selected above (normally, the selected bandwidth under the dialer method contains a * next to it. When disabling LTE with the APN however, when you go into it none of these are annotated with the *. You are effectively "tricking" the phone to work the way you want it.)
Correct, and sometimes if you lose lte you can re select all the lte bands, then automatic, and you'll regain your lte
Hi all,
Just wanted to know if it is possible to enable LTE band 3 (1800 Mhz) on an SGH-M919. Is it hardware restricted or can be enabled by flashing a modem?
Thanks in advance.

Hi.
I am interested in this also. When I select band 3. It does not really get selected. When I go back in the menu it keeps the (*) marking the selection on Automatic. While if I select, for example, band 2,4,5 the star moves to them and I get disconnected from the network.
Is there some setting somewhere that I can enable that in?

It will not show the (*) when you choose band 3. Just choose LTE/GSM then go back and choose band 3.

That didn't work for me. (*) is not shown for band 3. but I was able to select band 4 or all bands, and obviously there is no network.

It does not get selected. I think it might be disabled somewhere.
I wonder if it could be enabled through editing the QCN file.

There is an app called netvelocity by jio. It tells the info regarding the band and other info as well
Dial *#*#4636#*#* go into phone information >> press the 3 dots menu >> choose radio bands ..
Choose band 40 from the list ....
I am using Jio as well .. It does change the band to 2300 MHz and I get about 40Mbps Instead of abysmal 2 Mbps on 850 MHz !
You need to do that every time you boot your phone .

Setting the band 40 in this option will result in setting the same band for both sims ...
i m using normal 2g/3g sim in sim1 slot and jio sim in sim2 slot..
after selecting band 40 in that settings will result in no network for sim1(normal reliance sim)..
so , how to rectify that..??

Try putting Jio in Sim slot 1
I have an Airtel sim in slot 2 I still have signal In Airtel even after choosing band 40. .

Post Edited
after some times , signal for normal sim2 gone , have to restart my mobile to get network in normal sim
You can't really choose your own band.
We have some parameters in the Network, that decide the priority of which frequency band you connect to.
Generally, where Signal, quality and load allow, we let you connect to higher frequency.

There is an app named netvelocity.. Just google jiostore and download it from there.. But problem for me is thay the bands are not getting locked for me from *#*#4636#*#*. The connection does get reset after selecting band 40 but netvelocity app shows 850mhz band and speed remains same as well. Only when i go outdoors then my op3 gets connected to band 40 nd i get full 4g speed of around 30-40 Mbps

Yeah that's right it tends to fluctuate that's the reason of low speeds.

You need to enable it by clicking on More (top right corner)
If you don't have the More option then download the Netvelocity enterprise apk

Same here.. Can't go on to band 40 even after selecting it and band 850 is giving almost 2g speeds... Everytym i have to go outside my house to download any big file.. Someone needs to solve this for us... I don't want to hate my oneplus 3 for this
selecting band 40 won't make you stop connecting to band 5,
and sadly there's no way we can lock our LTE connection to certain band yet, neither to set the preference
i understand your frustation, since my provider is also using band 5 & 40 for the LTE. If you are in rural/suburban area, it will connect to 850Mhz most of the time, since lower freq has a better penetration and coverage range.
2300Mhz mostly used in city & building, since it can give better throughput

what do you mean no?
GSM only = 2G
WCDMA = 3G/ 3.5G
there should be options for your to choose...
like LTE/WCDMA/GSM Auto
WCDMA/GSM auto
WCDMA only
GSM only
and then there's also the quick toggle to enable/ disable 4G.
i believe what khiladi means is that the only thing you cannot do is select 4G/ LTE only. as per options mentioned above, 4G basically covers all and is AUTO. so when you select that, it can switch between the available signals and try to connect to the "best.
