4g-3g-2g save battery

Is there any way that you can turn off the 3g to save battery because on other android phones like the g1 it allows to turn off the 3g and seeing this is the first 4g phone EVEERRRRRR!!! i think it should have some way to turn off the 3g capability to save battery,,any suggestions

You are able to turn off 3G completely by going to Apps>Settings>Wireless Networks>Uncheck Mobile Network

yea but there gotta b a way without disabling the internet

No way because voice and data are 2 separate signals and cant be used simultaneously. The 3g is the thing that kills the battery because it is always looking for a better signal. If you turn that off, voice will stay at "1x", thus saving battery and you can still receive sms and mms

How to turn on 2G

i want to turn off 3g and use 2g so i can save power. how can i do that?

In fact answer was close by...see this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=663720 including cab file. Works great.

3G on and Off

So, i have bugged folks on this forum about getting 3G to work on other carriers, and it turns out - it does work! At first i found out my settings were set to GSM only, but now i also found this weird inconsistency possibly a bug.
If i have Data Off after using 3G or GPRS for some time, when i turn it back on, phone would not connect to data service. After enabling it will simply time out.
I found that if i switch from GSM to WCDMA, and than back, 3G network would connect and work.
I don't know if it's specifically my phone, or a bug, so i'm just throwing it out there.

What carrier are you getting 3G to work? I doubt its working if its anything that doesn't run on tmobiles bands..the icon will come up and stuff but your either getting edge speeds or not getting any connection. I've had this phone show me 3G with full bars and just time out.. I can eveven put in a sim with a sidekick plan or other data plan and it shows 3G but it does not work

Well, i'm overseas and i have used it on Russian carrier Beeline and carriers in two other countries. Now, i do set my connection to WCDMA only, which gives me 3G icon. When i set it to GSM only, i see GPRS icon show up.
So, it does work, i use fring, online radio, google maps. But as far as speed concerned, i have not tested it.
Just ran a speed test using Speedtest.net tool, I get 3951kbps download, and 655 upload
thats 3G

[Q] No 3G data when screen is locked?

Does anyone know if there are apps or modules for the following problem; I want the phone to stop searching for 3G or 2G networks when the screen is locked? Because when I don't use the phone, I don't really need a 3G network.. and therefore will probably save some battery? So when the screen is locked it should use only 2G network, and when it's put on again it has to start searching for 3G or 2G networks.. any ideas?

That's interesting, its a good idea for an app if anyone can do it
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

I found an app called timeout3g.. but that kills all data when the screen is locked! So apps like whatsapp doesnt work anymore.. But seeing all these reactions it is not that interesting?:S

Isn't there anybody who's interested in this?
