So i just found out from another thread "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11088696" that we can access the tabs service menu with the the following code (*#*#197328640#*#*). Now this is a LONG shot but here it goes, for all of those with more technical knowledge than myself, would it be possible to set the tab with Voice+3G using a T-Mobile sim through this menu or no? Just wondering but i am sure i will get bashed for this.
I tried that! The menu has the choices we want, but they don't do anything. I'm sorry you got nervous to post that idea! I wish it worked. Did you try it yet?

*#2263# gets you to the frequencies. Try it, but write down what you try, and what modem and carrier you have. Good Luck.

just noticed something interesting:
this picture shows all the bands while on voice+edge using Roto's modem switch:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and this picture shows all the bands while only on 3g using Roto's modem switch:
now clearly while on 3g the is an extra band, WCDMA 1700(FDD IV) , and it does not show up while on Voice+edge does this mean anything? i wished someone with technical knowledge regarding this would chime in....
sorry for the way the pictures are layed out.
Well that confirms what we all have experienced. The modem in use that allows voice calls to be made does not have theT-Mobile 3g Bands( Band IV/ AWS/1700). The original T-mobile modem does allow 3G access but does not allow voice. How we combine the two is the challenge.

Hey guys,
I have been looking several days for an option to toggle 3g <-> 2g but it simply isn't there where it supposed to be.
After discovering this article I'm wondering why this feature is missing in all wp7 samsung devices.
I really miss this option because I get at home barely 1 bar on 3g and thats not very good for the battery.
I thought that OEMs aren't allowed to customize the os on this level but why is this option not visible ?
Regards
I always thought that this option has been disabled by my provider because "3" doesn't have 2G at all. All GSM data is transferred via Roaming with A1 mobilkom.
Don't know, I've realised that my Omnia7 doesn't have this option but I don't miss it though.
worth a ponder

My boyfriend's Trophy has the 3g toggle located in settings. He's using vodafone. My omnia however is missing the feature. HTC vs samsung or carrier difference?
According to Orange it is missing on all Omnia 7s as it's missing from the Samsung software.
Thanks for your answers but nevertheless I'd like to hear why samsung did exclude this feature on their wp7 phones because I couldn't barely find any information about it on the internet.
It's incomprehensible and there we see that samsung failed once again with "their" software. Toggle 2g is an option that I really won't miss specially in areas where I have bad signal. I'm going to contact samsung to see what they say about it.
Regards

Would be interesting to know, but don't get your hopes high...I cannot remember any time Samsung answered a support question for me
My Omnia 7 has this setting. I have a 16 GB device from T-Mobile Germany running on o2.
My Omnia 7 also has this setting (Optus stock [unlocked] 8GB version).
Settings > Mobile Network
What I LOVE about these settings is that whenever my phone tries to access the internet and 3GB/Data is turned OFF, it won't force it on. Infact, unless you have Wi-Fi turned on, it will just say it's unable to access a data connection.
More than I can say for Windows Mobile, which always turned it on no matter what you told it to do.

So it's not Samsung's idea but, more likely, our provider's idea to cut this setting.
Yea. Did some googling and found a way to edit wimax through that ##3284# code. But the 4g seems to sleep faster than before? Can anyone tell me how to do this effectively? I use my epic for my home network and its a pain. Just want it to stay on like the wifi sleep policy. Btw i tried setting it to 300 100 and 60. Anyone know what that number means in terms of time?
Thnxnadvnc!

What rom/modem are you using?
4g seems to sleep more after I flashed DK05 or DK28, didn't seem to do it much in DI18

Those are idle times, in seconds, I believe. Meaning... when the device is not actively using 4g, it will time out (sleep) after so many seconds. I think 10 seconds is the default before the 4g sleeps.. Increasing that number should prevent your device from sleeping for a longer period of time.
I did some googling, according to this page, the number is in minutes.
http://www.groovypost.com/howto/mobile/prevent-phone-4g-wireless-connection-sleeping/
I have not tried this myself to see if it helps, need to get back home first where I have 4G coverage.
Anyone else have any luck with this setting?
--------------------
Edit: It looks like the parameter is in seconds according to this post on the EVO forum, which makes more sense
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8266721&postcount=79
Yea its actually working for me. If theres nothing using bandwidth 4g will shut off. But if I have pda running 4g will stay on even when the phone sleeps. before it would shut off after a few minutes into sleep mode. Works like a charm. if you dont mind the sprint rep questioning as to why you want that number lol.
How did you access the Wimax settings? This is what I see:

You'll access the data programming area on your phone by entering ##3282# on your phone number pad. The OP mistakenly typed in ##3284#.
You'll need your MSL to explore or change the settings. If you google, you can find ways to get that MSL number without calling Sprint.. You'll just enter some commands in a terminal app.... I'm not sure where I found it.. but it's out there.
Anyone been losing signal? I been getting the LOS bug that was also found in the epic touch when it first came out... My phone would just go from 3G to nothing showing then go to a circle with the line in it :crying http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/7429534674/

I have the issue only when I take off sprint optimization. What is your roaming on? Sprint or automatic?

ATT GS3 here ,this app doesnt work , there is no option for GSM , all options are some form of LTE.
Phone Info app is available in Play Store. MUST turn Radio off 1st

The Phone Info app is available in the Play Store.
You must first turn off Radio using the button below the Network options. Then you can select a different Radio Network. Hope this helps.

Hello,
Urgently need help now....
EVERYTHING about this phone is fine,
its just this mobile data which is very unreliable.
I have to keep going to "Network Operators" and then "Select Automatically"
Then sometimes it works and i get the 3G sign in the status bar but otherwise i just get the signal bars and nothing else.
It identifies my network which is "3" I've rang up them up and gave me the correct APN settings thats fine. they sent me a new micro sim, thats fine.
It has to either be the hardware, or a firmware issue?
Baseband Version - 4T.27.3218.14_10.33C.1718.01L
Refer to the Images for this.
Done the *#*#4636#*#*
My settings there are in the images
CID: OPTUS001
MIDN0714000
HBOOT: 1.57
Im lost for solutions and what the problem may be.
PLEASE HELP!
Thanks for your time.
