By using AnyCut, I found out a hidden setting in my G1.
I'm using Cyanogen's Android mod 3.6.8.1, but I assume the setting is also in the factory Android and others.
Press an empty area of Home Screen as if to add a shortcut, then select "Shortcuts" , select AnyCut, select Activity, then find the group of entries named "Settings". For me it was the second "Setting" selection from the top.
When I clicked this new "Settings" shortcut, a menu appeared:
Title: "Set GSM/UMTS band"
Entries: Automatic/EURO Band/USA Band/Japan Band/AUS Band/AUS2 Band/
I tried "Automatic" (seemed to make sense then), and my 3G and E (UMTS and EDGE) stopped working - I could not get my phone to connect to the mobile network! So I switched to EURO band, and Edge started working - but to get 3G working again, I had to enable it (3G), and then reopen the "Settings" menu and select "EURO band" again.

In 1.44.xxx.xx I was able to disable HSPA but keep 3G.
Now I'm on 1.66.404.02 which is the official UK ROM I cannot seem to disable HSPA.
The reason I want to disable it is I found it gave me a more reliable data connection in some areas. I would prefer a method without CABS or registry tweaks as that's how I did it before.
The way I can disable HSPA is:
From "Settings" tab in Sense:
1. "Menu"
2. "All Settings"
3. "Connections"
4. "Advanced Network"
5. There should be a "HSDPA/HSUPA" tab (mine opens to that one by default) and from there you should be able to select "Disable" from a drop-down.
Thanks Spike.
That's the one!
Hi All,
I've got Omnia II with WM 6.5 in which i have to manually turn off / disconnect the data connection all the times and it always turn on again after a while.
can anyone recommend or suggest which way / tools to disable the non-wifi data connection only ? so far i only i need GSM and the Wifi only to reduce unwanted cost.
Thanks.
Open Samsung Settings (press the big button) and hit on the top line the key with the arrow left/right.
Select the Option "Wireless Manager" - and take a look at the right bottom corner. There you see "MENUE" - press it and select "Data con. Settings".
Tick all three Options and select the "TIME OFF" at "NO PACKET FOR". Switch device off and on again and from now disconect the WiFi connection with a short press on the PowerOff Button.
yes that works man, now I'm using nodata.cab to make the setting permanent.
How to disable data connection manually in Omnia II (WM 6.5)-do not see "data" option
".....There you see "MENUE" - press it and select "Data con. Settings".
Tick all three Options and select the "TIME OFF" at "NO PACKET FOR". "
With my i920 all is on for "phone, bluetooth, wi-fi,data"
I do not see any "Data con Settings" screen when I press "Menu" - only see "Phone Setting, Bluetooth,Wi-Fi". How can I see "Data" to make change?
Thank.
I was reading on the moto forums about access to a hidden menu to enable some options that moto has turned off...specifically the ability to force edge.
The moto forums filtered the info on how to access it...if it's against the rules to ask about it here too, then please diregard...if not and someone can share, it would be much appreciated.

Try this:
1) Go to dialer then type out *#*#4636#*#*
2) The "Testing" screen will appear. Select "Phone information"
3) Scroll to the bottom to where it reads "Set preferred network type".
4) Using the drop-down menu, change the selection from "GSM auto (PRL)" to "GSM only"
I'm not sure if the setting sticks after reboots so you may want to check that out as well.
Does anyone know how to fix this it pisses me off so bad i took it to a tmobile guy he fixed it like in a couple min he said he use to hack phones but then i reset the phone and the error came back and the guy dont work there anymore to help me

My sister updated her phone and I did think and it worked but I have a question, do you have to make a new APN every single time or does it stay saved

It stays saved, but a reboot or network change will revert you to the default apn. She will need to run the shortcut app and change it back to the new APN she created when that happens, but she won't need to make a new one.

Once it expands, select the last entry. What exactly does your last entry say that you select?

Hi- would love for this to work... I'm on CRC5 ... am I screwed? the "add" button appears grayed out... so I can't seem to add a new APN to choose... have I messed up somehow?
This does not work because the APN settings have been disabled and no such way to add a new one and if you did there is no way to select it because all the functions in the APN settings have been disabled like I said before, only way to change them after OREO is to get root and then you can edit the system telephony.db file to add DUN.
