Hello, anyone knows how to enable 2G mode? I can choose betwen 2g/3g/4g auto, 2g/3g auto and 3g only.
My phone is from uk O2 and gsm option only is not available. I was wondering if there is any simply way to switch on it?
You need to go into the hidden "phone info" menu.
*#*#4636#*#*
Or if.you have cm, you can make a quick settings toggle for 2g
That code *#*#4636*#*# doesnt work for my phone. Can I do anything whitout root?
I noticed that my phone switch to often betwen 2G/3G so battery drain is faster.

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

Thanks...that makes much more sense! :thumbup:
On my GS3 I used to be able to type in *#*#4693#*#* and it would open a menu where I could toggle my data from 2g to 3g to LTE or any other option. I think it was called a service menu.
Now on my GN2 I can't get that menu. I have seen a thread that lists all the secret codes but I can't find the one that allows me to toggle from 2g to 3g and vice versa. I don't want to use an app to do this.
Does anybody know the code?
You should just be able to do it in the mobile data menu

No, I can't. I know you can switch from LTE to 3G or turn off data. I can switch from GSM only to LTE/GSM/WCDMA or WCDMA only.
That's not what I'm looking for, I'm looking to switch from 2G to 3G and back. I used to be able to do it in the INFO service menu.
I have problem getting 4G/LTE connectivity on ARTMOD v7 bcs Network Mode keeps changing back to GSM/WCDMA preferred, but if i change it to GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto my phone connects to 4G/LTE but seconds later Network Mode switches back to GSM/WCDMA preferred so my LG Optimus E975 jumps to H/H+ instead of 4G/LTE is there a way to fix this?
and yes i tried to set LTE Only in LG's Service menu called "Hidden Menu" ---> LTE-Only --> Modem Settings --> RAT Selection LTE Only but than i only get 2G connectivity and i bet it's bcs the Network Mode keeps restting to GSM/WCDMA preferred.
I live in a place in Southampton in which my service provider works on gsm and lte only. My phone with v20a keeps changing my preferred network type from gsm/wcdma/lte auto to a default (I don't know where this is declared) gsm/wcdma preferred. Any piece of advice on how to change this?
Thank you in anticipation!
Try APM+ (Xposed addon)
It gives you the options to customise the power menu and one of them is a 2G/3G/4G switch
Well..
To be honest there is no point in having a toggle, i just want a solution so that my phone doesn't automatically change back to wcdma from lte after a while...i think its something in the settings
Please help.. Is there a way to set network mode to 4G only or LTE only?... In settings, I only have the Autoconnect, 2G only and 3G only options.. Thanks..
Is your SIM card already 4G supported? What's your carrier?
The 4G auto connect is available? Apps might be able to access 4636 without root. In there, if there's an option, select phone information, then lock the RAT to 4G only. Alternatively, if *#2263# or *#2683662# is available, in *#0011# select the other SIM if there is any, then in those other codes, band selection, GSM ALL (for the unused SIM), change SIM again with *#0011#, band selection, LTE ALL(for the used SIM). What's expected: If the SIM is not a USIM, the RAT will stay on 3G(UMTS/WCDMA). If the USIM is not authorized, no signal. With soft PLMN locking (manual operator search) the signal level is shown but it's unusable. If the signal is still not available, maybe the phone does not support that band/frequency or no LTE coverage? If rooted it's possible to add LTE only in those settings in feature.xml, if that file is not available others.xml is used. Or launch 4636, or RIL service mode with am broadcast.
Use this app (no root needed). Set to LTE ONLY. Works fine.

This is worth a try. It's 4636.
ADD THIS IN system\csc\other.xml
<CscFeature_Setting_CustNetworkSelMenu4>LTEONLY</CscFeature_Setting_CustNetworkSelMenu4>
