OK I have searched in here and for the most part I am finding no helpful information because 90% of you have no desire to disable JUST 3g. The only ones that are concerned are people like myself who have 1 bar of 3g for the majority of the day, whereas edge is providing 3 bars. Its really hard on my battery (and annoying) for my phone to constanly look for 3g only to find 1 bar and maintain it for about 3 minutes, it then defaults to edge again until 5 minutes later it sees that 1 bar of 3g again. This is at my work which has lead lined walls ( I work in Radiology).
I would like to disable 3g and force edge throughout the day. I use wifi at work for data but want to be able to text without it eating up my battery. Can someone please find a way to edit a file in the operation system to allow this?
Just to let you know I have already tried all the widgets available including anycut and none of them are providing this function for me. anycut will give me what appears to be a toggle of "2g networks only" but it actually does nothing, nor does it stick when I exit the setting page. I also tried accessing the menu from the dial pad to force 2g only but the options never stick, nor am I interested in typing *#*#4636#*#* every morning when I get to work. Please help me find a simple solution. Thanks!
I did it only by enabling gsm only in *#*#4636#*#*
Worked for me...now im only on edge
Take the App "Any cut" an put a widget on the desk (UMTS options)
it works.

I dont know. I have H+ and test with "speedtest", i have(kbit 5300)and when I press anycut button (UMTS) I see "E" and have speed of 120 kbits.
when it takes 5-10 seconds to switch
you guys probably need to UNCHECK the option to select the operator automatically in settings, so it doesn't get overridden

Went home to test the 3g theory, and i always get H+ when i put my phone in the kitchen window. one bar. today, EDGE all the time i was home with full signal. so the 2g Toggle DOES work i guess.....
I can not get the 2g toggle to work at all. Its also strange to me that I can't get any network settings to stick from the dial pad menu either. It seems as if those of us who can't get it to work have a read only network file or something. For those who got it to work, are you on att? What else can you tell us about your phones? What procedure did you go through exactly to get it to work?
I have an att Atrix that is rooted and running that custom Adeo rom from this forum.
I installed the abycut app. Placed bother gsm/umts settings pages from anycut onto one of my desktops, then tried both tick boxes on each to enable 2g only. This did not work. I also went into the extra settings from there and tried to manually set networks and what not and I am just not able to get edge to stick. I have toggled airplane mode after setting them, tried different combinations, and have rebooted the phone.
Has anyone with att got this to work?

I just tried 800 combinations of settings using anycut and the 4636 menu and NOTHING WORKS. I tried doing what the last poster said, I tried every setting and then toggled airplane mode, I went info 4636 and even toggled the radio to CDMA! Nothing would force edge. Nothing.
I will pay 1.5 million dollars for an app that toggles:
Off
GPRS only
EDGE only
3G Only

Both before and after the ota update, my internet icon will disappear, making my phone unable too use the internet (obviously), send texts, and sometimes even not let me make our receive phone calls. Why I do not know. I am sending this message on wifi right now, because my phone has both no internet and also no radio signal. I'm at my house and my house always has full reception and I get H for the internet. If anyone can help or direct me too something I can do that would be great.
I did call tmous and they said I had the my touch internet package and switched me to general android, but this did not help my problem. Thanks

It can take up to 4 hours for any web changes to take effect. Maybe give it more time.
Also try *#*#4636#*#* - Phone information - and WCDMA preferred. Make sure wifi and wifi calling disabled because it will keep it at GSM only.
Hope this helps.
I called and did the internet switch yesterday morning. As for that stat number thing, after I pressed it everything came back on. Don't know if it was coincidence or not.
Will have to check again when out happens. What early am I looking for?

I'm having the exact same problem. In my house I can get fair hspa+ 2-4 bars, 3G who nows as we don't have a 3G notification icon. Edge when it works is 4-5 bars. My wife has the Blackberry Bold also from T-Mobile and she has a solid 3G all the time.
I already changed my device once and the new one now 2 days old has the same issues. It is really starting to annoy me as many times I get ready to use the internet and I just have a signal bars with nothing to the left and internet and email are not working. This also means my email does not sync up properly when the connection is lost.
I'm going to try and spend some time in another area and see if the problem is the same. If so I might have to give up on this device, I hate to as I really like it.
Unfortunately being in different areas does not make a difference. I love this phone as well but this is very aggravating. What causes this to happen? No other htc phone I have used or friends have used have this problem.

Sorry I am having a hard time understanding what you are asking.
You go to the the dialpad on your phone. Enter *#*#4636#*#*
As soon as you do this it will bring up a menu. Tap on "Phone Information"
Then at the bottom you will see a dropdown box under "Set preferred network type:"
Set this to WCDMA preferred. Then hit the back button (the back arrow).
You will see that your signal has been disabled for a second, then will turn back on. Also if you can note down what it was set to before you changed it to WCDMA preferred and post that here.
Like I said this can only be done when wifi and wifi calling are disabled.
Hope I was a little more clear this time.
Well I may have to eat my words. It might be my location or just crappy T-Mobile service that is varying. I put my wifes phone in the same part of the house side by side of mine and trying to surf the web it dropped out too. Lost the 3G and got a SOS for signal bars. Unlike my G2 it recovered fairly quickly as the reception came back. My G2 has been at a loss for internet for over a hour before.
I'm still going to try some comparisons in some different ares and I hope it is just my area.

That's odd. I've had JL5 since a few days after release and haven't had a single issue with data until today. I see full bars, data activity doesn't do anything except the green "out" arrow flashes but nothing comes in. I just disabled Data network and re-enabled it and now it's worked fine..
Please use proper language when making a thread. I modified the title of this thread because of it. Thanks.
I have similar happen on JL5, after a day or two (or an unknown set of actions). I will no longer be able to receive calls, but will get the VM alerts and be able to dial out. Data connection will then be hit/miss. I put the phone in airplane mode and take it off airplane mode and it works again.

Yeah,its a known froyo bug,it was even brought up several times in google's forum for the nexus one. it wasn't an issue in 2.1,but 2.2 (pretty much every build I've ever used on the G1,N1,vibrant,HD2,and Intercept) has the issue.
i think my phone's radio is broken.. now it doesnt switch between edge and 3G anymore.. stays on 3G
but download speed is really slow..painfully slow.. i was actually happy to get 3G in my room, but it's actually broken? LOL
i installed the signal app by imperial.. it stays on H - 93 dbm with the 3G symbol on the signal bar and consistent 3/4 bars.. what the hell..
hmmm..
maybe tmo 3g coverage has gotten better? but download speed is slow.. my phone may be broken.. ughhh

im using the stock j16.. i already reset my phone, even reverted to stock jfd and flash via kies last night.. same issue
i haven't even dropped my phone at all.. not a bad drop at least..
I have the same problem on JL5. I just flashed Nero V3 this weekend as my first Froyo rom and I see today I cannot get online at work where 3G is iffy. If i switch it manually to GSM, then data works.
I actually flashed a custom rom hoping to fix an issue like this.
Back on stock my network data just stopped while browsing web pages or anything really. It would give the outgoing arrows but nothing would come back. After about 30 minutes or so it would start working again for a while.
Flashed to nero but it's still as prevalent as ever (maybe for a different reason now lol). Not sure if it's the phone or Tmo's network anymore, but it's not too big of an issue for me so I just have to remember to activate wifi if I need constant data for any period.
I have it set to GSM only because I don't live in a 3G area...
I generally use my shift at home or work on wifi. This week I'm on vacation and have been using Sprint's network primarily. I was using a CM7 nightly for a while and noticed that I've never seen the 3g icon, only 1x. I confirmed this by installing an app from the market called 'Opensignal' which shows details about your connection, which tower you're connected to, etc.
I flashed to a sense based ROM (Mik) and have the same issue- 1x only. However, it now always displays the 3g logo when data is 1x, even if roaming.
It seems that something in my phone is keeping me stuck without 3g that persists through reinstalls/wipes. I'm hoping there is some type of hidden setting or config option I can look at outside of the standard settings in the system.
Any ideas other than flashing back to stock/unrooted?
You will find that the stock sense rom will show 3G always as well. You can open up the dialer and dial ##33284# Choose EVDO engineering, and look at the state.
And if not in a sense rom *#*#info#*#* will let you view you connection details.
Toasted by Nightly.
Unfortunately I would ruu back to stock, update profile and prl in update section then see if that helps. Run speed tests and keep a record of results to help in the process of elimination. Could it just be the tower you're near or some Podunk town out in the sticks that doesn't have good equipment? Go to a sprint store with working displays. Do speed tests with the display then your phone. Maybe you got a lemon?
You could be roaming or on an old system. Turn roaming off and set network to sprint only and see if that makes any difference. I know years ago I went to my home town in the Midwest and throughput and signal was poor until I went into a major city (like the capital) then speed and signal was good again.
Thanks, I didn't realize HTC always made the 3g logo show- that's really stupid. *#*#info#*#* shows me good stuff and re-confirms me getting 1x only.
Will any of the settings listed attempt 3G data only? I set it to EVDO but it seemed to stay at 1x.

##3282# & ##33284# are your best bet to edit anything if you're not planning on running an RUU, really you shouldn't have to, just turn EvDo only on and see if it even connects. Maybe the 1X towers are stronger than EvDo, if you have it at all.
Reset data profile entirely through ##3282# - you need your MSL - MSL Reader is on the market.
Try that and document your speed results, etc. Then update your prl. If you really want to, then go ahead and apply the 3G speed fix mentioned in Android Development (not necessary but if you're concerned with speed you might wanna try every step.)
If all that fails, you do still have the RUU and start fresh approach. Personally before I'd do anything I'd get ahold of another android device, maybe not HTC, and see what it's doing for speed, etc.

Great info. Using the info code I've set it to EVDO only but it still says its at 1xRTT, even after a reboot(!). My wife has a Sprint LG optimus S- I've looked at its settings and its connected @ 3G so I know whatever tower in my area should connect.
I got my MSL from that app and can get to edit mode via ##3282# but I do not see an option to reset, only to change to other profiles that appear to have the same config. It was choosing profile 1, I changed it to 0 with the same results.
How do I reset data profile?
Edit: ##33284# lists evdo as 0 (disabled) but does update info as to its signal strength and so on. This is all still with the phone set to EVDO only but yet connecting at 1xRTT.
I seem to have it working now. The change I made was ##3282#, EVDO, preferred mode = auto. This was previously set to CDMA. After a reboot I now have 3g.
I'm curious what this is set to for others? I've never been in these screens before and have this feeling that I've never had 3g data (I've had my phone since launch day).
Ive reflashed CM7 and 3g works there too now, i'm seeing the 3g icon for the first time.
Also its quite sneaky that HTC/Sprint only show the 3g icon on a Sense ROM. Had i never installed a non-sense based ROM i'd have never really known that i was stuck on 1x. Shame on HTC/Sprint.

I would like to say this thread has helped me achieve EVDO (ive been 1x also since release). Sadly this doesn't work on AOSP roms for me, but i'm happy just getting what i'm paying for... and have been but haven't received. Its noticeably faster.
BUT.. for noobs not used to the ##3282# menu, after making a change, press the menu button and commit the change. I had gone through these steps changing the drop down and immediately restarting. Apparently you have to manually save these settings.. or at least on my phone.
where are you guys entering these numbers and "EVDO"? because mine is also showing 1x and i wanna fix that

Is there a way to force CyanogenMod (or even the stock rom) to stay at HSPA? My phone has issues going from 3G to HSPA and staying there (happens regardless of rom). Is there a way to make it stick on HSPA? I'm not too worried about the battery life, it's already pretty abysmal.
Thanks!
I don't know if there is. The reason it does that is to keep unnecessary bandwidth from being used by the phone. It's a quick switch.
Edit: there is the old method of dialing *#*#4636#*#* and selecting wcdma only, but I think it still switches between 3G/4G
There is no way, it's dependent on cellular carrier and not on the phone AFAIK.
The question is - why would you want to? What are the "issues" you're seeing?

my phone is refusing to go up to 4g (HSPA) in a reasonable amount of time. It takes on average 45-60 seconds for it to move up. It's done that no matter which rom I use and it's annoying as pages won't load until it goes to HSPA
Bad. OK, as a very harsh and bad semi-solution you could run a ping once in 5 sec, that would keep your phone's data connection constantly active. But it's no good solution.

If you can help, help. Otherwise don't bother with the attitude.
Which country, and how do you know your not on lte?
Sometime carriers use fastdormancy to switch it off.
Sometimes users turn on battery saving features.
Sometimes your sim,
Sometimes users in mobile networks set it to 2g
Sometimes there are alternative ways to turn it on.
All can be eliminated by querying most of the time.
Hope it helps.
Also check your APN settings

I'm from Denmark. It doesn't show the 4G logo at the battery status. It only shows 3G and H. If it worked it would say 4G, I've seen it before.
The carrier says it's turned on and coverage should be 2 bars on 4G/LTE where I'm living.
No battery saving features.
SIM card is 2 months old, but maybe.
It is set on 2G/3G/4G.
What are the alternal ways to turn it on?
I will check the detail with the APN settings.
Thanks a lot.

check mine posts or threads ..
thnx
Looks like you can use some tricks to turn it on. Try above posters threads, I think some people did it by going into hidden menu, but not sure. Didn't need to do it myself yet.

I've been in the hidden menu. Didn't help. I've just ordered a new SIM card, hope that helps. Otherwise I'll just return the phone.
Pull down the notification bar and press hold the data toggle then go into network mode and choose LTE auto

Yeah usually if its not available via mobile network settings, or APN settings then there is something disabled by provider or via hidden settings. Usually.
Sometimes the sim, not really explainable why.
After changing in hidden settings did you do airplane mode, back on to force it?
Also sometimes a reboot is needed, plus a check if the settings were taken over correctly

Are you ok?
Blaming the phone for not having a working LTE antenna? ATM I'm troubleshooting.
I bought a phone with LTE, and I want the LTE to work. Is this so hard to understand? If it is faulty, I want a faultless phone.

Did you return your phone already? I've the same problem. I can can see the LTE network, however, when in manual selection mode, but if i select it, phone tries to connect for a minute with no luck an then falls back to 3G.
Hidden menu does not help, as it says it's not possible on this phone.
Would be really interesting whether another G2 solves your problem. I think this is not a hardware issue.
Greetings,
Oliver

I've returned the phone and got a new one. Same issue. Tried a different carrier and it worked right away and stays on LTE. I will change my carrier. My carrier changed some SIM settings and it worked for a couple of minutes. Then back on CDMA. I do not believe it is a hardware issue any longer.
you tried switch off fast dormancy?
or other power saving settings. They tend to switch to least power networks when not utilizing network/ data

No g2 auto switch if signal is weak.. to save power.. bcos searching and when signal low phone auto boosting signal and drains battery..
battery saver settings is generally g2side, fast dormancy is allowing provider to do it for you
