can anyone help? Im currently running android 2.3.4 (CyanogenMod7.1) in dual boot.
I need to know how to access the gsm/umts band settings. I regularly get a 3g/H on my status bar when at home using windows 6.5 but struggle to get anything beter than 'edge' using android. are these settings available on this mod? if so can someone point them out to me please. If not is there an android build available that has this option?
many thanks
they're available, go to wireless and networks -> mobile network ( or something like that) and you'll see an option for 2g/3g

Are you looking for the way to reset your phone for GSM, CDMA coverage? Here is the link to a post to do that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9295533&postcount=2

yea i have something like that. its a use 2g only option to save battery. that's unchecked. there are no other options and the secret code doesn't work either.
Maybe try switching to another rom?
When i was on Typhoon's CM7, i had the option.

Hey guys,
I work in an area where my 3g signal is really weak and cuts in and out. This really effects my battery quite a bit. However I have been using that # *#* number to get into the phone settings and change the setting to cdma only which seems to put my phone in 2g mode (is that true?)..and thn back to automatic to get 3g back. My question is is it possible for some of you to develop an app or a widget which could do this with a single click?
Thank you

Couldnt you do that with power widget plus? I do something similar since I'll in a bad area as well except I use it to reset my data connection so to speak.

Well I have extended controls installed all I can do with that is turn off data completely..from what I gather none of the power widgets support cdma devices when switching between 2 and 3 g

You don't want to go 1x. The data rate is pitiful at 153 Kbps max.
I just use Bettercut and make a data manager shortcut and just turn off manually the internet saves more battery than 1x connection

There is an app on the market, called Network which takes you to that menu with the push of a button. No need to enter in all those #*#*#*##* digits
Another way is to use AnyCut to set a shortcut to the field test menu where all of those settings are available.
Thanks

What is the full name of the app? There are multiple apps named "network"

settings - wireless and network - mobile networks - access point names
in there are one, some or many APN's (acess point names)
Its a full page to explain everything, just find out what your settings are, and have a play, and a damned good read on here. after you make a change, press start and choose save, else it wont change till you soft reset. sometimes it seems not to change anyway till you reset.
if you are testing mms and a pic gets stuck on 'sending', , they generally never go, even when you finally get the settings right, so ditch it and send another.
Hey There,
I'm about to write an app for android 2.3 which should be able to disable the Mobile network.
I found a solution which works on 2.2, but it uses the permission "android.permission.MODIFY_PHONE_STATE" which isn't available anymore on 2.3.
So is there another possibility to change this setting?
thx for answers and greez Visosilver
maybe this would help ?
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-feature-element.html
Hmmm, i tried
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.telephony" android:required="false" />, but it always says that the MODIFY_PHONE_STATE permission is missing...
I would like to know this aswell, for my Galaxy tab. I flashed overcome and didn't flash my T-Mobile modem and it says I'm not connected to any network in anyway but am still getting the cell standby eating battery. And even with airplane mode it still shows up.

Pitbull -- > Add this to the Tweak guide
To disable the GSM Radio -
Bring up your dialer program,
enter *#*#4636#*#*
Select Device Information,
Scroll to bottom
Tap the "Turn Off Radio"
This will disable all Cell / GSM / EDGE connections -- Should only be used for those who do not subscribe to a data / cell package.

thx for your responses, but the point is, that i must disable the connection programmatically...
Did you use ITelephony.setRadio(boolean turnOn)?
Hello devs and modders, this http://samsung-updates.com/details/16850/Galaxy_Note_3_Snapdragon/SM-N9005/ZVV/N9005VJUDMJ6.html rom (ZVV, from Brazil) has an option in the Network mode that I like very much to have, LTE ONLY, so I can tether my notebook for gaming when not in home, I know the side effects of this mode and I know I can access a hidden menu to change to that mode [takes too many steps tough], but I would like to have that menu option on other roms or even better any rom with a mod of any kind.
So can someone help me with that?
Cheers
Just edit /data/property/persist.radio.lteon and change it to true (and reboot).

Mine already says true, but it doesn't show the option on the menu. Any idea?
BTW I am running the BTU-N9005XXUDMK2 rom.
No one?

If that is the case it's possible that the SIM card hasn't been updated, or the network provider isn't transmitting any LTE bands?
In my case, the provider is just starting to test 4G networks and I had to change the property and ask for a newer sim card (not sure if that is the case, but I did read somewhere that it might help).

I don't have that option available on settings.
I have automatic 2G/3G/4G, automatic 2G/3G and 3G only.
Thanks.
Press *#*#4636#*#* in your dialer, go to phone information and change it from there if you can't change it in settings.

Tried that but I get a message saying this option/application is not available on this phone.
Is it because my G2 is carrier branded?
Would a unbranded stock rom fix this and let me change it?
Try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=myc.phone.PhoneInfo It does the same thing as the code.
That?

How did you do that? How can I enable that option?
I guess it was deleted but still shows up for me since I already have it installed. The developer has 2 more versions, this one seems to be ad supported: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tw.myc.android.PhoneInfoV2Ad
I guess this option might be available if I flash and try other custom roms or kdz from other regions.

I'm able to enter the menu now.
Where exactly is the option to enable 2G only?
There's a lot of options.
Have you tried using the intelli3g xposed module?

I found a way, but cell signal isn't great still.
I read that the antenna is located on the bottom right side of the phone and it's like the antennagate of the iPhone 4. I think they're right.
