Any way to choose 2G only on the G2? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

I found a way to force the OTA update.

I have searched around and I couldn't find anyone that has mentioned this before. If you really want the JI6 and don't want to use Kies and when you hit the "software update button" it shows "no firmware" I found a way to force it.
*****JI6 bricks a lot of phones. rooted or unrooted... so be careful! I would unroot and remove any lagfixes just to be safe. If you're phone gets bricked it is not because of this method. it is because JI6 has issues. if you do get bricked... check out this thread: forum.xda-developers [dot] com/showthread.php?p=8522603#post8522603****
**DUMMY PROOF INSTRUCTIONS!**
If you already have launcher pro:
1) goto your homescreen.
2) menu key, add.
3) hit shortcuts and then activities.
4) scroll down to device management
5) select "com.wssyncmldm.wssAppDmUiMain" and hit ok
6) this will put a shortcut on your homescreen that will say device management with blue and red arrows.
7) open that shortcut up and hit software update.
if you don't have launcher pro or don't know what it is.
1) goto the market.
2) search "Launcher Pro" or "Federico Carnales"
3) look for a yellow icon with a house on it.
4) install that.
5) once installed hit your homekey. select launcherpro but don't select use as default until you fall in love with launcherpro ;]
6) then, follow the steps above
Wao...thanks
Wating for froyo now

Is this for all countries or just the current?
I'm pretty sure its just for the states.
however i was messing around in the settings of that shortcut... and it apears that you can mess with the DM server connection settings and you can mess with a bunch of stuff... so maybe if you change the APN to whatever carrier you are using it would work??
Try it. follow my steps above. goto settings then DM connection settings and edit the network profile apn settings.

This might lead to other cool stuff down the road as well... there are some really cool settings in that shortcut. you can change it to "lab" and "production" profile... so maybe we can get a leaked froyo a little early??

the wssappdmuimain is the first shortcut. Just select it and say ok. It should place a shortcut on your home screen that says device management with a blue and red arrow. Then open that shortcut and hit software update.
Maybe in blind but where is the activities shortcut?

Followed intructions to the T. I would suggest doing it over WIFI.

Installation over WIFI took 4 mins. Hung at the S screen for 3 mins.
Kept all setting and apps, everything works. GPS locked onto 8 out of 12 sats in less than 10 seconds.
3g signal is increased, wifi signal seems to be increased as well..

The list is alphabetical... so... yeah. right under Daily briefing and DataCreate...
are you in the launcherpro activities list?
Well didnt work for me . I hit software update... the same arrow appear on the top of my phone but they disappeared like in 3 secs! Nothing happened afterwards.
As I have said, does anyone has idea if this would work being overseas? I have the American version, because I bought in NY on Craiglist... But right now I am in Germany.

Try this. homescreen > menu key > settings > wireless and network > mobile networks > access point names
What does it say? whatever is selected and if your data is working... write down that APN.
THEN. if you still have the device management shortcut on your homescreen. go into that. select settings then network profile then for the APN change it to whatever you are currently using for your german carrier.
let me know if this works. if it does not and you need to revert the settings the tmobile apn is: epc.tmobile.com

[Q] LG G2 d802 disable lte

Kia Ora.
I have an LG G2 D802 and was wondering where in the menu system you can disable the mobile from searching LTE, and instead grab 3g/h+ only from the network provider.
thanks.

I have the same problem. The LTE-only says "not supported".
The fact is that I have the opposite problem highlighted in this thread: I want to activate the LTE feature.
I have bought my G2 in Switzerland and I'm not able to connect to LTE in Italy (the LTE icon should appear in the notification bar, isn't it?).
Do I have to flash another ROM to get the problem fixed? Going to the settings of the phone, I have the D80210a-EUR-XX which seems to be the correct one.
Anyone knows what's that problem?
Thanks in advance
file is missing LteConfigs
Anyone come across a way of turning on LTE and making it permanent?
Mine is D802 international unlocked and I have to go into the hidden menu after every reboot. Lame

[Q] 2G only mode?

My local Vodafone mast/transmitter is faulty on the 3G side, preventing me making/receiving calls, but 2G seems fine when I tried it on an older phone.
There doesn't seem to be an option to put my S4 (GT-i9505) into 2G-only mode....there is an auto 2G/3G option, 3G only option or auto 2G/3G/4G option....nothing else, and naturally, the auto modes put the phone into the (faulty) 3G mode.
Are there any hidden settings that I can change?
Try 4g Toggle in Play Store. In that program you will have an option to change this option.

That simply creates a shortcut to the network options on the phone!

I've now got and installed the app, but it looks complicated in terms of what I'm trying to achieve.
I've no idea what Bands to select & what issues it could cause if I muckup.
Is there no easier way, or a "nicer" app I could try?
This is still a major issue for me and no-one seems to be able to point me in the right direction.
I was wondering....if I simply turn off "Mobile Data" in the settings, will that automatically put the phone in GSM (non 3G) mode & let me achieve my aim??
I've just tried doing this...there is now no letter next to the signal bars, but the phone can take a call.

Network Mode menu

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

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).

how to restrict network to lte?

I'm at a place where mobile connections are poor. I used to have an option in the past where I could choose only lte. That worked. In the Rom I use now this is not included. Only switch automatically 2g/3g/4g. Which ends up constantly switching to E. I have to toggle plane mode and it goes back to lte. Is there a way to limit to 4g so that it doesn't switch? Sorry for the bad English

it's not a specific question for the Rom. I thought there may be a way to do it in buildprop.
I can chose only 2g, only 3g, and switch automatically 2g/3g/4g. That's standard. What I need is only 4g.
