Here is a video on how to setup 3G only on your Adam and/or other Android device using the awesome shortcut app called "ANYCUT"
This is best for when you live in an area that the 3g signal is there and works but may be less strength than the edge signal so your device keeps dropping the 3g in favor of the edge.
Enjoy and please feel free to comment.

With every other android phone i had i could force the phone to use 3G only by going to *#*#4636#*# and selecting "WCDMA Only".
I can do the same on the SGS but it does not do anything. it has no effect on the phone.
Anyone has any idea how to do this on the SGS?
Yes..I am looking for the same information..Without this feature..i am screwed.the phone keep going to 2G as long as the signal strength is stronger than 3G..this priority scheme logic suck big time for data centric phone which data speed is more important..
DownlOad anycut, run it,NEW SHORTCUT - ACTIVITY - PHONE INFO
A short cut will now be on your homescreen with all the required options.
*#*#197328640#*#* > debug screen > phone control > network control > band selection
You need to do this after each reboot though as it does not stick.

You don't need to type all that *#*#.........#*#* on your I9000, just hold the menu button down(which is the button in the middle of the bottom of the phone) and you will see an icon called service mode and this is the mode after you type all that out.

That's only if you've typed all that stuff already in the current session.
The Network app (by Philipp Mangelow) is a bit easier to handle though.
need to say sorry first... i've just found out this as well.
my bad.
where i'm at sometimes even though i have a decent wcdma signal it will switch to gsm. I know how to go to the dialer and switch to wcdma only but its tedious to switch back. Is there any app that will make this easier to switch between? like a widget or anything? thanks
I use a simple app called "Network" by Philipp Mangelow on the market. It gives you a shortcut icon to those settings.

There is an app called "PHONE INFO" in the market that will do this.
Hello ! What about adding this option to our phone? Thanks!
it is already possible even in stock condition
1) go to your dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#*
2) hidden menu will appear, tap Phone information
3) scroll the page down and look for preferred network type:
4) select wcdma only and you will have 3g only

Its good , but having this option in main menu is better , isn't it? I think if this option present in hidden menu , we may add it ti main?
Not sure how you can add it to the main menu.
But u can simplifies the above steps by using Anycut to create a shortcut to "Phone Info" so that the "3g only" setting is only 2 taps away from home screen
good luck
l *#*#4630#*#* didnt work for me
i got it to work its *#*#4636#*#*
Thanks for the correction, had a typo

Unfortunately i live in an area that only has 2G reception unless you're with telstra but I'm not so i cant connect to 3G and test it out
Hi everyone!!!
I would like to buy the GT-i9505G to replace my i337M, but first I have to make sure that S4 Google Edition has the LTE frequencies that we use in Canada (Band 4 AND Band 7).
I'm pretty sure it has support to LTE Band 4. Now I have to find out about the LTE Band 7. Could you help me to figure this out, please?
1) The test should be done in "pure" S4 Google Edition (GT-I9505G), with Build Number JWR66V.S014.130801 and Baseband I9505GUEUBMH1.
2) Dial the command *#2263# into your dialer. The screen "ServiceMode" will open after that.
3) On the "ServiceMode" screen, select "LTE Band Preference", then select "LTE B7" and then select "Band Pref: LTE B7".
4) Tap the Menu button and then select "Back". If you see an (*) after LTE B7, that means your GT-i9505G has support for the LTE Band 7!
5) To put your device the way it was before, tap the Menu button and then select "Back".
6) On the first screen of "ServiceMode", select "Automatic" and then select "Automatic" one more time.
7) Tap the Menu button and then select "END"
One more thing: Could you take a screen shot if you see an (*) after LTE B7 and post it, please?
Thanks a lot!!
Anyone?
Come on folks! Anyone?
Galaxy note edge korean devices only.
I am sharing this tweak and very helpful for international users.
After spending some time on the roaming issue, I finally found a way to disable this pop up. Turns out that it s quite easy:
1. Download the app Anycut
2. Launch Anycut
3. Select " Create New Shortcut"
4. Select " Activity"
5. Roll down until you find and select "Roaming Auto Dial"
6. The new shortcut is created - exit Anycut.
7. Launch your new shortcut and disable Roaming Auto Dial.
Hope this help.
Cheers
Thanks!
Thanks :thumbup:
