I will most likely do this BUT.
stetre76 i don't have 4 settings?
i have
WCDMA only
GSM only
GSM / WCMA auto
I am presuming i would set gsm only
what i meant was that "Network Mode" is the 4th setting/option in the Mobile Networks setting...
yes, you should swith to GSM only
LOL i dont have those choices with my network. I only have WCDMA only and GSM / WCDMA auto.
This really sucks !!

Can anyone tell me how to disable the 3G? It's just strange, normally you can change that under setting - wireless & networks - mobile networks - network mode. However under network mode I only have these 2 options: WCDMA Only and GSM/WCDMAbut this time only WCDMA? I am just trying to save the battery, just like I did with my original DESIRE.
download qucik settings from marketplace, i have it on my home screen allows to toggle from
3g to 2g , also 3g to 2g but with MMS also allows gps/bt/wifi toggle amounst other things
and its free
Thanks for sharing. But what I am referring to is more to the gsm signal only. I have no problem disabling data internet. I know I can do it in the original desire but surprise can't do it in hd.

Hi,
I want to give my phone (Nexus S) to my son and switch to a family plan with data but I dont want him to have access to the 3G, I just want him to use wi-fi to connect to the Internet. Is there a way to disable the data and keep the wi-fi and SMS active? Maybe changing the APN setting to a non-working one. I dont want to just unclick the data option because you know that he will find the setting and reactivate it
Thanks.
I use APNdroid and I surf only by wifi. I dont have data plan, too
You can always delete the APNs in Wireless and Networks => Mobile Networks => Access Point Names.
But if he's cunning enough he can easily add them back.
Then again, can't you just ask Rogers to disable data for his SIM-card?

Just go to Menu > Settings > Wireless & network settings > Mobile network settings > Access Point Names > "current apn", now change the following.
APN > put a hash "#" and a couple of other characters at the end
MMSC > put a hash "#" and a couple of other characters at the end
APN type > put a hash "#" and a couple of other characters at the end
The phone should no longer connect to the mobile network, eg: 3G, 2G etc.
I think SMS need data on.

No, it doesn't.

Be careful, at least in Germany, some carrier allow internet access regardless of faulty APNs
I'd just call the carrier and ask them to deactivate mobile internet for that sim card, this also avoids trouble if there are ever costs for mobile internet on your bill.
I checked with Rogers and they cant disable the data for the phone since its part of a family plan Would have been too easy.
I will do some check with APN to see if everything work except 3G when I put wrong data in setting.
Thanks all
I need to read.

I disable mobile data everyday to save battery. SMS and calling still work and wifi still connects. After I'm out of range of my router just cell signal no data.
Go to settings -> wireless and networks -> mobile networks
Simply uncheck data enabled

Hello every time i leave a WiFi área the n4 will nit work carrier data conexión. I have to put in airplane and normal again. Thanks

Check " settings > data usage > turn on mobile data.
Also settings> more > mobile networks > check data enable and uncheck use 2g network. If these instructions don't work then you need to get right APN for your network.
Hope this helps

I have the same problem but not always, only sometimes.
Any advice?
Is there any way to set prefered wi-fi ??
Like "wifi priority" (IN cm 10.1 on my phone) ?
with Wi-Fi frequency set to auto... I lose 5Ghz netrorks --> "not in gange" when connected to 2.4G network"
Only way to connect..t to 5G network is to reboot or manually select 5g band..
How to fix that ?
Thanks..
I have not used it (yet) but try wifi prioritizer on Google Play. It looks like you can drag around each access point into the order of priority.
Updated: this kept disabling connections for some reason. Might not for you but I've uninstalled it.
This functionality should be in stock android as I want it to stay on my 5gig network by default.

Hey is anybody having wifi connection issues. I have tried at work and at home. My wifi will connect at a weak connection and withing 2 minutes it will disconnect and give me an error saying "poor connection". Good thing I have unlimited data otherwise I'd be screwed. I'm going to the store to exchange note 3's and see if they fixes the wifi problem.
I have the same exact issue

My auto network switch came defaulted to off but this is still happening to me....
I clicked the auto-network box, but for some reason when I'm at home and using my home's WiFi both the 4G LTE AND WiFi icons show up. In my S3, it used to automatically switch to my known WiFi when I come home and switch automatically to 4G LTE when I walk outside of my WiFi router's range. How do I get it to do the same and display only one source of internet connection?
Well I called vzw technical support. They are sending me to the closest corporate store to exchange for another note 3. I hope this works. ....
