How to use H only as internet?

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.

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

[Q] Preferred Phone Network Type

I just wanna know if this detail is right on my preferred network phone settings.I've got WCDMA (Preferred) selected,while other settings like GSM/CDMA etc were not ticked. Is that the right settings "WCDMA (Preferred)" for a mobile network in UK and on 3UK network?Thanks

WCDMA is also referred to as UMTS which is the technology behind 3G, so WCDMA (preferred) simply means that it will use 3G when it can.

oh,cheers for that.Now I get it

i was reading this battery saving guide and i wanna make sure i did this right

well i was reading this guide and came across tip #22.
well that guide was made for the evo which is a cdma phone but when i checked my preferred network settings it was on wcdma preferred. since my G2 is a gsm phone,i changed it to "gsm auto (prl)".
was this the correct choice or should i have it set to wcdma?
thanks for any help!

Depends on what you are trying to achieve. GSM Auto (Prl) will switch between 2G and 3G based off what the tower is telling it to be on and the strength of the signal. From my experience this is the best setting for use and don't worry. Personally, I usually put my phone on 2G only, and only switch to 3G when I am going to be using the data.
WCDMA Preffered and WCDMA Only is telling the phone to hold 3G as long as possible, and if there is any 3G coverage to switch to it, or in the case of Only it will never switch off 3G, even when there is no 3G coverage available.
If you are trying to save battery GSM auto or GSM Only are your best bets, if trying to preserve a weak 3G signal for data WCDMA only, and if you are somewhere that gets decent 3G but the phone loves to switch to 2G for some odd reason, WCDMA Preferred.

[Q] ARTMOD v7 Network Mode fix?

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.

How to set network mode to 4G only?

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>

its very easy. you just need to install this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teknokia.mtkengineerapp&hl=en and choose LTE Switcher menu. for detail info please go to https://www.teknokia.com/2017/08/how-to-lock-4g-only-or-lte-only-on.html
