I was wondering if anybody has found a way to, maybe via a shortcut or something similar, change the radio from 3g to GSM and vice versa. Going through settings ia a real pain.
I have tried fiddling with the registry (after doing a comparison of two snapshots) but to no aval...

So I just migrated over from my Vogue (xv6900) to the Imagio. One of the problems I have at my job because of where my office is located I have the worst quality available because of no windows, and being in the back of the room behind walls, etc.
On my Vogue I flashed using NSFAN's 6.1 ROM and I was able to go into the settings and force the phone into 1X which helped alot with my battery life. Now that I have the Imagio I can see the registry settings in this thread but when I do them I don't notice any changes to giving me the modes of operation.
Because this is a world phone (and perhaps has WM 6.5) the settings are different and I don't see these settings at all in the phone settings. The modes of operation are only CDMA, GSM/UMTS only or Global. Does anyone have any insight as to how I can implement the 1x hack?
Also to note now there's no "EV" icon, there's "3G" and "1X". Anyone have some insight to share on to how this phone and the TP2 search for networks now and how that all works versus an older device such as the Vogue.
yeah this is an old thread.
anybody find the "mode of operation" hack for these phones? also looking for the tp2
For me on the imagio setting the phone to function in CDMA mode alone worked. Putting it in Global mode caused my battery to run down unnecessarily. Others have reported that unlocking the SIM and using a different carrier's SIM should help the phone find the signal it's looking for but I have yet to try that.
to reply to your first post. the 3G icon does not matter. its still the same type of service.
I did a little searching around but didn't find much useful.
Anyways, About a week or so ago my HD2 running ChuckyROM-23125-Tabtastic.Jun.30.sfx, started displaying only the E for Edge data speeds. Normally, I would always have an H.
Any help?
May be the Rom, were u always using this Rom? Do you have the latest radio or software update? If not try updating your software or radio for your band. You can also try a different Rom to see if you have the same issue.
Good luck.

That's odd that it would start acting that way out of the blue (which is what you're thinking, I'm sure lol).
I don't know for sure what's causing that, but here's where I'd start:
-Make sure that your network settings on your data connection haven't somehow gotten switched to "GSM" instead of "WCDMA". If you see the setting is at "Auto", then go ahead and select "WCDMA" and see if that clears it up
-How old is the sim card in your HD2? If it's more than a year old (i.e. you brought it over from your previous phone), you might want to get a new one from T-Mobile...it seems that older sims can have compatibility issues with the new HSDPA network that's being rolled out.
-If neither of those two help out, then try a flashing a different radio (just do NOT use any .51 radios, those will brick your US HD2). I know the one you've been using has worked fine until now, but again with the backend changes Tmo is making on the network, it's possible that the one you have just doesn't do as well in your location anymore.
Other testing methods I'd suggest include seeing if you have the same issue in other areas than you're usually using, and also see if anyone else you know in the same area on Tmo is having the same problem.
i believe it may be my SIM card. It is over two years old and has been on every phone i've owned(about 6).
Also, i couldn't find anything about changing from GSM to WCDMA, only something about enabling and disabling HSDRA/HSUPA

Yes, I'd def say it's time to get a newer sim Please post back here and let us know if that resolved the issue.
In the settings tab on your slider, click on "wireless controls", then tap the "phone" entry (not the swich, but the bar to the left of it), and on the following screen scroll to the bottom and choose "change baseband"...then you'll see the options there under "network type."
Im looking for a signal streght/ Db meter for my phone. Currently running Energyrom, Touch pro 2, CDMA (Verizon). Ive tried searching the forums and using google, even tring bing, but couldnt find one. I know they are available for blackberry and android, but couldnt come across one for winmo. Any suggestions. Thanks in advance for your help.
FieldTest.exe?
I don't know if it's included in Energy ROMs.
Does something need to be changed in the registry? When I run it I only get -99 for all the tower info and nothing changes.
You can also type in *#*#364#*#* on your phone dailer to get there.
Looked in my windows folder, and no fieldtest.exe in there. So im assuming it was taken out of energyrom. I've also tried dialing that number, found it on another page, and it doesnt work. Any other ideas?
Attached FieldTest.exe

i get that also. it only seems to work right on 2g
I just realized it works when you change your connection to GSM only. If your connection is on 3G WCDMA, you need to hit index then WCDMA and you can see your signal change there.
Hi there, Im trying to figure out some way to switch 3g off when teh screen goes off and set data as 2g, I tried a couple of ways, one being a tasker script but I cant find a ROM that supports the 2g/3g toggle. There is also the Toggle2g apk but again, thats signed for CM roms and not working on any roms for SGS2. Any thoughts anyone?
Looking for a way aswell, tasker says its not possible for this device?
Hello everyone! I am trying to find out how to enable/disable certain bands. My company installs cell phone boosters for people that have poor signal, and i need to be able to select a single band at a time to do speed tests.
I know this is possible with Samsung devices, but was wondering if anyone found a way to lock to a single frequency.
This is possible with Samsung devices but unaware of any way to do this with a Oneplus 8. I think its even possible to do it on the tmobile version?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. (I am also rooted if that helps.)
Wow. I may be onto something. Anyone want to test this out?
**Disclaimer** Do it at your own risk.
I found this. Seems to let me change to whatever band I choose. But the only way I can seem to get back to "all bands" or "automatic" is by selecting all of the ones I use.
Or by typing *#*#4636#*#* and selecting the second from bottom
Download quickshortcutmaker from play store.
Look for: com.oneplus.engmode.bandmode
It was almost all the way down at the bottom for me. (My search doesn't seem to work)
I don't think this requires root or how I found it but it's working! (But, I am rooted, Android 11, stock room)
not sure who else could use this but I hope it helps someone!
Should all be unlocked from begin with, we should have access to all the bands as we're paying to access our networks not Oneplus
You must not have read the op.... He wanted to lock onto a single band to do a speed test for signal booster purposes. Your respknce was a waste of time.
Op, nice job on the work around for yourself
Good information and screen shots! cheers
