is there a program to do that for windows mobile? so that the connection wont fall back to gprs or edge and always use 3G or hsdpa?
in sierra wireless aircard there is an option to set that.
i think there's an option in setting, personal, phone
go to band tab and change network type to WCDMA and change band to UMTS
it works but now phone call also using the 3G network always. how to set only if making data call?

If you want to do this band change easyly, can use the tools on
this post, if you want the phone change band smartly, better you flash a good WM6.5 ROM.
Check more info on this thread.
i have a similar question but it is related to forcing the phone to switch from 3G to HSDPA mode when active data transfer occurs..
thanks..
Team,
***First off I am not responsible for damaged that occurs to any phones. Make sure you know what you are doing before making changes!!!***
I was having an issue with the mic gain recording distorted live concert audio so I was wondering how to access extended features on the Galaxy S.
The following is the code to dial in to access the hidden Service Mode menus.
Example how to access menus:
Dial *#*#197328640#*#*
This allowed me to adjust the mic gain to get better audio recordings at loud live concerts.
There seems to be several hidden menus on the Galaxy S and I am wondering how many more there are. Which led me to post this thread.
If any of you can find more hidden menus post them and i'll add them to this OP.
So far I know about:
Hidden Menus:
Service Menu: *#*#197328640#*#*
GPS Hidden Menu: *#*#1472365#*#*
Battery and General Info: *#*#4636#*#*
GTalk Service Monitor: *#*#8255#*#*
LCD / Speaker Test: *#0*#
Factory Data Reset: *#*#7780#*#*
Camera Information: *#*#34971539#*#* (Do Not Use The First Option "update camera firmware" you will break your camera)
Change Power Button Action: *#*#7594#*#*
Show IMEI Number: *#06#
Be careful in Service Mode that you know what it is your changing. If you hork up your phone you can reset it by doing a Factory data reset in Settings / Privacy / Factory data reset.
I would do a nandroid backup before making changes if your just experimenting.
I will add reference material below as I can:
__________________________________________________ __
Service Menu:
The following popular data communication technology is associated with each cell carrier type:
GSM = GPRS (2g), EDGE(2g), UMTS(3g), WCDMA(3g), HSDPA(3g) {Cell Carrier examples: AT&T and T-Mobile}
CDMA = CDMA*(2/3g) EV-DO(3g) WiMax(3/4g) {Cell Carrier examples: Verizon and Sprint}
Preferred Network types:
WCDMA preferred - The GSM phone is capable of using both 2G and 3G data communication and when signal strength is low 3G is favored more.
GSM only - The GSM phone is capable of using only 2G data communication. When the 2G signal is too low you get nothing at all.
WCDMA only - The GSM phone is capable of using only 3G data communication. When the 3G signal is too low you get nothing at all.
GSM auto (PRL) - The GSM phone is capable of using both 2G and 3G data communication and when signal strength is low 2G is favored more. This one is a bit confusing to me since PRL is associated mostly with CDMA technology and not GSM technology.
CDMA auto (PRL) - The CDMA phone is capable of using both 2G and 3G data communication and when signal strength is low 2G is favored more.
CDMA only - The CDMA phone is capable of using only 2G data communication. When the 2G signal is too low you get nothing at all.
EvDo only - The CDMA phone is capable of using only 3G data communication. When the 3G signal is too low you get nothing at all.
GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) - Some phones are equipped with both GSM and CDMA capabilities. This setting appears to just have the phone attempt to stay connected to the data communication type that works the best. (Maybe the Samsung Galaxy S will take advantage of this???)
Unknown - If none of the above fit or the phone is acting weird as far as connecting to the carrier, you will see your preferred network type is set to this.

Dude where you getting all these code. Nice find. You have any more? LOL
I don't which is which. I don't want to mess up anything on it.
Do you know how to work these setup menus?
Updated OP with more codes
I know how to get to the volume service menus in the phone, but does anyone know how to make the earpiece volume louder? My phone is too quiet when up to my ear (rocker volume maxed out) and I don't know what exactly to change in the service menus. I did it on my eternity but this one is a little different. any help is appreciated.

Several there that say RX, which one exactly? And what's the maximum possible value to make the incoming ringtone/text/email notifications louder? Thank you for all this, btw.

could it be that that's because the phone is locked and needs to be unlocked by the carrier

I found out that if you go into the dialer and type in *#*#197328640#*#* that it will take you into a menu that will allow you to change it. From the main menu of the ServiceMode screen, select DEBUG SCREEN, then PHONE CONTROL at the bottom, then UE STATE CONTROL. From there select CHANGE RAT TO WCDMA to enable 3G only, and select CHANGE RAT TO GSM for 2G only.

Give that a try.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you. That works! I've been trying for days to get it to work but it always stuck to WCDMA. THANK YOU.

Turns off 3G, and uses only GSM and EDGE (2G) to save battery life.

I found a code on nother forum but can't remember where.. When entered it asked for a password and an IME number and one other number.. I found it by accident one day when searching for 'unlock captivate' and I think it brings up the same menu that is brought up when you use a foreign sim... Would allow unlock without requiring the insertion of a foreign sim..
Anyone know this code?
I am a noob to the world of android phones (as an owner) however I have an android tablet. Currently i am warming up to android so i purchased a Samsung Galaxy Y. I am currently in Jamaica and the provider I had purchased the phone from is a 2g, 4g provider knowing i could not legitimately get 4G I was given a 4G none the less but my phone would say H during data transfers, I have never tested the speed though. My internal memory was full and after hours and days of trying link2SD and other programs to create a psedo-extended internal drive i decided to try Creeds rom V4 however it was a memory hog and i decided to try another ROM, this caused my phone to "brick" i was able to unbrick itexcept now i am seeing E for my data transfers instead of H. I have no HSPA menu since noticing that i have tried several other ROMs and stock OS however none gave me back the H please help :'(

You must have a 3G/4G mobile compatible device such as a smartphone, BlackBerry, tablet or dongle and a Digicel SIM to access Digicel 4G Mobile.
Our 4G network supports any device with the 850MHz band. Any such 3G, 4G, HSPA, HSDPA and HSPA+ capable device can enjoy the fastest download, upload and browsing speeds available on Digicel 4G Mobile.
Change your phone settings for 4G:
Customers must ensure that the device settings are properly set up to connect to 4G Mobile.
Here is how to change your phone Network Settings:
STEP 1 - Device Settings:
· 4G Phones/Smartphones: Adjust your phone network settings in “Network Settings” or “Network Connection” to 3G & 2G, 4G & 2G, GSM/WCDMA or dual mode depending on your phone type.
· BlackBerry Smartphones: Adjust your phone network settings in “Manage Connections” or “Mobile Network Option” to 3G & 2G or 4G & 2G depending on your phone type.
STEP 2 - Remove and replace the phone battery or power off and on your phone.
STEP 3 - Once you have successfully connected to 4G Mobile the icon on your home screen should successfully change to 3G+, 4G, H, H+, HSPA+ etc. The icon displayed is dependent on the device model. The icon will change if you are in a 4G coverage area.

i mean its no working
hi,
i bought a yureka, everything is great. its just that i'm unable to use 3G or LTE on my device.
it always shows edge. on my device. and runs 2G
in mobile networks preferred network type is LTE. and i have LTE service in my area.
on phone info *#*#4636#*#* By default the preferred network comes as LTE/GSM auto(PRL) and network type shows EDGE.
i have tried changing the preferred network to WCDMA preferred, then radio on/off, still network type shows as EDGE.
Plz guys.....I hope u can solve this problem....the sim is perfectly working in other phones!!!!
Hi,
What you need to do is as follows:
1) Put your LTE Sim in Sim 1 Slot
2) in Sim settings for Sim 1 select LTE preferred - for 4G
If you want to use 3G then select 3G
3) dial *#*#4636#*#*
4) select - WCDMA Only - for 3g
Select - LTE only - for Lte network ( when u select lte/ gsm auto it will revert back to edge if no proper LTE signal is available)
Now you are good to go. You don't need to change the sim settings if your reboot. But you need to change the settings in phone info everytime you reboot as it will reset to LTE / GSM Auto prl.

How to speed up jio connection?
I am posting pre configuration also as well as in case pre configuration not work you can try at your own hit and trial method.
Pre config -
I am not providing any downloadable files or content. This process needs root and volte supported roms. Custom lineage and its based roms still can have issue. It will work best on eui roms ( stock and customs) .
App need -
Net guru (free) - download
1. Download net guru app. And give root access . It will take some time for configuration.
2. Wait untill it shows LTE testing.
3. Now go to menu and select lock bands.
4. Now select LTE and select "B3 1800+" band.
5. Restart and. Enjoy new speed.
Reason to lock only this band -
Coverage + speed too.
Check speed by trai app.
If above method don't work then follow till 3rd step and now select 3 individual bands at which jio works and check your speed at individual bands and lock them at your most preferable band.
Details about bands:
Jio is using 3 LTE bands for 4G:
Band 3 (1800Mhz),
Band 5 (850Mhz)
and Band 40 (2300Mhz)
If LTE Bands are arranged according to services then
Best 4G coverage*: Band 5 > Band 3 > Band 40
Best 4G Speed*: Band 40 > Band 3 > Band 5
Average 4G speed*: Band 40 : 30mbps+Band 3 : 14mbps+Band 5 : 5mbps+
Extra -
1. After Deleting app band locking still works.
2. Restarting doesn't affect band locking.
3. Updating roms or changing also not affect band locking.
4. It's not necessary band 3 will give you more speed or coverage try according to your area. Mine is most suitable at B3.
Working - Sim - up. Working in Delhi, haryana and up.
Post your results.
Thank you bro
