The above post seems to make more sense than my suggestion below.
You could just install a custom ROM that doesn't support 3g. Like Task 14. I've seen people use it and it work fine, just losing 3g. But I wouldn't expect much, if any support running it on a 3g device and it being it's a WI-FI ONLY ROM.
Edit: no idea for sure if this would definitely solve the battery problem though either.

Or you could simply enable flight mode, which deactivates the 3g and wifi. After the tab goes in flight mode, reenable wifi only. This works for me, i use it in areas where 3g reception is bad to save battery

The last few days I have been running Tasker with a script that enables flight mode whenever its locked and disables i whenever its unlocked. My batterylife has quadrupled that way, not exactly sure why. I dont need mail sync etc, so this was a good solution for me.

It's even really handy, when you enter pin and enter flight mode, to simply use power button menu to quickly start 3G

I need a way to kill the cell but keep WiFi. How is this done? Airplane kills it all. About to travel and can't find a way.

Have you tried turning on airplane mode then turning wifi

Airplane Mode means all off. Won't do it..
Well that works for me just turn on airplane mode and turn wifi back on just tried it and it works fine I'm doingit right now
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Agreed, just go airplane then reenable WiFi. You should also have the option to turn off mobile networks in settings.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Switch pro allows that option for their airplane mode widget.

The ability to have airplane mode on and still use wifi is actually becoming very common apparently. The iPhone has had that latent functionality since the 3G, however I think the reason it was so common there is due to AT&Ts exorbant roaming rates.

Back on subject, I like that ability as using wifi for the majority of functions of my device helps conserve battery for me.

So I can't bare to be without my Epic every waking second of the day. sue me. My problem is I'm moving out of the country and am keeping my phone. I want to basically use it as a wifi enabled android powered mp3 player. Problem is I'm worried it will constantly be searching for a signal. I've removed my msid and phone number from my ##msl# dialer code, but the phone still searches for a signal killing the battery life (I've seen the difference in the battery menu between no signal and airplane mode). I would leave it in airplane mode and be happy except that you don't get bluetooth while in airplane mode. is there a way I can just get the cell radio out of the os since I'm not going to need it anymore, and still keep my bluetooth, wifi, and gps functionality?
Thx in advance for any advice

Did you check out the ##3282# menu? Might be something useful in there

You can disable just the cellular radio using Tasker... this will still allow you to use wifi, bluetooth, gps, etc...
##debug# is an interesting dialer.code as well

I don't have Tasker anymore but I believe you just create a widget with the action of Phone > Radio > Off or something to that effect.
Then when you click the widget it will simply put an X over the signal bars instead of that annoying airplane, still allowing you to use all the secondary radios.

Hi
I have this problem and i think ive come across a few people with the same frustration.
Which is the constant switching of our galaxy s fone networks frm 3g to H.... Happens so constantly it disrupts and keeps me in limbo so many tyms i cnt even tether properly with this problem!!!!
Please olease is there any fix for this out? Ive looked everywher!!!!! And if not. . . please as a humble request can a dev please create something so that only H frequencies are chosen and are prioritized so that it doesn switch to 3g please?????
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
Ha.
Yeah mine does too sometimes.
A way I get past it is to tap back button and select again and it quickly loads up in h.

Could be a problem with XXJVS radio? I go back to XXJVR to compare results.
HSDPA is an extension of 3g. It uses the same frequency. The reason it is switching is to save power for better battery life. It switches to H when you are using the connection, but than switches back to plain 3g when it is idle.

That's just how dataconnection works. .if you want to keep your connection in H-mode constantly, you need to make your phone to ping something for every 3 seconds...like ping -t 3 8.8.8.8 in windows (if I remembered it correctly).
In short: connection is in H-mode as long there is traffic. .

In my experience (from reading stuff here and observing my phone) it seemed that constant switching between H and 3G drains battery faster than if we could force the phone to use only H. From your post, I understand this is not the case. I never thought that 'switching' was a battery save feature...
I'm using CM7, and although it switches to 3G for a short period of time very infrequently, most of the time I have an 'H' displayed, even when it's idle. I also don't notice any significant battery drain. Maybe my phone is just crazy, though.
I've had this since day 1 with my phone, through many different roms... it's frustrating as all hell and really hurts my battery life and my patience
The switching from 3G to H is not the problem and not the cause of the problem here - it's just the symptom.
It's because data is lagging and stalling further upstream, so the phone is simply returning to idle as it should.
The solution is to change carriers to something that gives more reliable data.
Take a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=837716 for a guide to disable HSDPA for better battery life.

Very useful info .... I asked for a solution to stay on H i get a reply to disable to SAVE battery life which is clearly not most the prioritized issue here... But thank u.... Any one else with a solution to either stay on H or 3G????
i had a sony x10 mini pro and problems were similar... But then from control panel i selected 3G only ( only options were 2G and 3G) and when it was onnit it NEVER gave up H ... Constantly stayed onnit so if its possible on a fne **** that m preetty sure we cn do it on a galaxy s

Wouldn't the most likely cause of your phone switching back and forth be because you're losing connection? My phone stays in H when I need it, and leaves it when it doesn't. So...

Nope i have constant network on full bars... Keeps working only until the H starts swapping is the time my phone enters limbo and i lose connectivity
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
The problem is that it literally hangs between 3g and H changing constantly without loading anything. If I say for example on xda, touch a thread and it does this, it may stay in a changing to and fro for minutes and not load. But if I select thread again as soon as it starts doing it it opens to thread quickly and normal.

Is there a way to force the phone to go LTE only no 3G? I dont see an option for it in the settings. I live in a 4G area and with my thunderbolt it ALWAYS was 4G but my M bounces back and forth, but if I put it in Airplane mode and then take it out it will connect to 4G.

go setting and add 4G to the notification bar, there you can choose the one you prefer.
You can do it without the app....open your dialer type*#*#info#*#*
A menu should come up choose phone options, there you will find the radio options. You can pick lte only.

Well both those get to the right spot, but there is no selection for what I am trying to accomplish. On LTE only it won't make calls or send texts. I assume bc LTE is only data. What I want to eliminate is 3G while having voice service forcing the phone to only connect to LTE for data. Is that even possible?
I think if you go to the phone testing menu(*#*#info#*#* in dialer)you should be able to select lte/CDMA only.

That would work if "LTE/CDMA" was an option. the options are LTE/CDMA/EvDo LTE/GSM/WCDMA LTE/CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDM LTE only and LTE/WCDMA,
Sorry I see that now. I was trying to help you off my memory. Should have done my own research. It seems that should be an option to choose. There has to be a way, we will have to find it

HI there
is there any mod to set GSM only network on note 3. The area I working barely have any 3 g or had a coverage. O2 UK.
Thanks in advance.
In parameters simply turn data off.

What I meant to say I still need the data but the gsm only network I'm after, because in the area i working barely have any 3g or hsdpa network. And because the constant network scanning barely have any network.
Sorry for my misunderstanding. I'm wondering if this is not linked to the setup of your provider. They may decided 2G (Edge) is no more available.
In my case the 2G option is still working and when I set it the GN3 works in Edge :-\
