I assume you are using WM5, if not, I don't know if the settings are the same with WM6, haven't got the guts to try it on my Apache XV6700.
You can always turn off the EVDO and always stay on 1X whenever you need it, and change it back to Hybrid when you need to use both EVDO & 1X.
Start - Settings - Phone - Services - (Scroll Down to) Mode of Operation - Select EVDO (for EVDO Only) or Hybrid (for EVDO & 1X).
I wish there's some kind of batch file script or macro script that can simulate our taps... well it's like 7 taps away to change the mode of operation, not to mention waiting the device to soft reset.

Please give me any advice on the problem with this very good but uncertain device.
After a period of my no activity with GSM net (1.5-2 hours) no one can reach me by phone. Just after i make any call (or send sms, make ussd request) and next 2 hours everything is ok, then i'm again out of reach. Signal indicator is ok, and I can make calls anytime i want, but people can't reach me (till i do any action in net).
I've tryed all ROMs i could find, including the latest one - no results.
Operator - North West GSM (Megafon Volga)
I hope the description of a problem is clear. Sorry if it is not.
Please help.
hi,
maybe changing the phone settings to manual helps.
Hi.
U mean Net Selection - automatic/manual ? I will try...
Btw, is there any possibility to set gsm net ping frequency in registry. Or may be there exist a program that can ping gsm net periodically, i think it should kill the problem (gprs pingers do not solve it, i've already tryed).
I remember that on my old Nokia were such a setings as net requests frequency...
Thank you.

No results
make sure that your phone settings are correct: in the "band" tab, make sure your network type is set appropriately - if you have a umts (3G) subscription, set it to "wcdma" otherwise, choose "gsm".
Hi there
Am confused. Am running Manila 2.5 and have recently installed an icon set for the Comm Manager. Previously when I went into the Comm Manager the 3G option (which is labeled 'Change to GSM',)was marked as OFF (this was how it was when I first used the phone and I have never had a need to change that). But since I installed the new icon set, strangely, when I now go into the Comm Manager I notice that the 3G option in showing as ON (Green) and I cannot turn it off. I tap the On/Off button but unlike the Wireless or Phone options nothing happens.
I do not believe that I need the 3G functionality to be on (as it was not showing as such until recently, and as far as I know I do not want to 'change to GSM') when I have the Data Connection on, and therefore I would like know how to switch the 3G off (incidentally I can switch the Data Connection on or off at will)?
Can anybody help/advise
Many thanks in advance.

What phone do you have and what ROM are you running? If I understand your question correctly you are asking about switching between 3G and EDGE (aka 2.5G) at will or on demand. If so you need to do a registry edit. Using your registry editor go to "HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting" and change value of "ShowUMTSBandPage" to 1. Do a soft reset and this should do the trick.
However my question to you is why would you want to do this? You do lose speed because EDGE is a slower connection. Not to mention you cannot do both data usage and phone calls simultaneously. Only in a few instances could I see this tweak being truly helpful (aka being in an area for extended time where 3G bandwidth is extremely weak and cuts in and out a lot). The one benefit would be possibly better battery life.
Hope this helps.

Hi aybarrap
Thanks for the reply.
Have reviewed the situation and conclude as per what you have said that the gains are outweighed by the losses...so I will stick with 3G.

3G eats alot of battery, GSM all the way if you never use HSDPA (WiFi + WEP cracker ftw).
Anyway it's: settings (in HTC slider) > wireless controls (comm manager basically) > press on phone > scroll down to the bottom and choose BAND > change to GSM/WCDMA (3G)
Glad I could help. Just keep in mind that if you are big on battery life this is definitely the tweak for you as mentioned by ArtieQ. I personally use this tweak because my workplace gets low 3G signal and I tend to drop calls if I don't apply this tweak. Not to mention the battery life is eaten super fast by all of the switching back and forth. I turn on EDGE only at work and back to 3G when I get off.
Hi Guys Hope someone can help me. My HTC HD2 seems to have stopped using HSDPA its only using GPRS when connecting to the internet where before it always changed to H from G .Is there any thing I can do to turn this back on ? thanks in advance for any help
well you can check your band settings, settings ->wireless controlls -> click phone(not the on off slider) ->band and choose wcdma, that will set it to H or 3G only but if you have bad reception you won't get any signal. If your unhappy with the results i suggest trying different radios, first make sure they are compatible with your device and ROM.
Thanks jfmckenna that did the trick thanks very much for your help your a star
Hello,
I just bought Omnia7 and I can't turn 3G off, because there is no such option. I read that it's possible to do in diagnosis. How to do it? I really need to turn it off...
Solved:
Open diagnosis and enter: *#2263# then you can choose: Automatic or 2G or 3G. )) Nice
The t-mobile.de rom lets you change 2g to 3g in settings. I wonder if its available anywhere?!

Well, open diagnosis and enter what I wrote in first post and you can switch easily :]
Sometimes my phone is on 2g when this setting is on automatic. If I change the setting to prefer 3g, it then immediatly picks up a 3g signal. Does anyone know why it doesn't just use the 3G automatically if it is available?

Because it can get low, so phone will go to 2G. :]

Thanks for the response. The problem I have is that the Xbox Live Extras app won't connect to Xbox Live over 2G, I just get an error message. Over 3g it's fine. Is this a known issue that happens for everyone? I guess I will have to leave it set to prefer 3g in diagnostics.

Yea, it happens to me too :] Well, I think it needs more data and etc. :]
When set to prefer 3G, will the phone still use 2G if there is no 3G signal at all?
There is a regedit on the main dev forums that allows to unlock the 3g to 2g toggle for the phones settings.
How can I enter in Open diagnosis mode?

Dude, when givin' sum info pls try to describe procedures as clearly as possible.
When ya dial da code, there are three options popin'up and a lotta numeric buttons plus "back" and "'end" So be so kind as to give a detailed step-by-step manual. In yr case ya should've at least pointed out that these steps do not display any additional toggle switch bw 2G/3G. Moreover at SR ya still got da finger
So nothing is SOLVED

Open diagnosis by dialing in dialer ##634#
Then diagnosis app should be added to your app list, open it
In diagnosis dial *#2263#
You get to choose from 3G, 2G and Automatic. Near these options you have numbers 1, 2, 3. So choose one of them and press the key on the keyboard. Choose the connection (all) and press end. That's it

Is it possible to get dev unlocked phone on NoDo?
Hi,
A strange request for a strange scenario.
In my office 3G / EDGE etc etc do not work. Reason is uknown but believed to be a problem with a local mast and infterference within the office.
How do you switch of all the high speed networks so that the phone purely picks up GPRS.
Everyone is having the same problem, i.e. I PHones, but they are able to switch of all the high speeds.
Some one with an old Nokia 5110 has full service, so thoughts are if I can revert to only this capability I can use my phone in the office.
Note : I would really need a solution that is quick and user friendly, as would want to set back to high speed when leaving the office.
Thank you.
Comm manager 3g button
There's a little cab called HTC_HD2_CommManager_3G which adds a 3g on/off button to the comm manager
