Why can't i keep a 3g only network ? i have this option in my Xperia z ... why can't i do that in my Moto .. its really frustrating ... i have 3g data pack and moments later i realize my network is on 2g n its eating my balance rather then my net pack .... frustrated :/
Doesn't this work?
*#*#4636#*#*
Select WCDMA only.
If you cannot reach it using the dialer, use an app to do it. e.g. shortcut master lite or something.
If it still doesn't work then make sure you sim is in slot 1.

Ok, Ive always had crappy 3g on my x10 but i put it down to signal issues, i thought i was in a poor 3g area.
I noticed whilst playing around in the settings that i could set the phone from WCDMA only, whereas before it was GSM with WCDMA preferred.
This sorted the problem out perfectly, great 3g performance even with crappy signal, the problem is that for some reason this means when there is no 3g signal it doesnt just fallback to GSM for voice.
From what i have read on the net it seems like changing to WCDMA only should -only- affect the data connection, not the phones voice connection.
Am i doing something wrong?
Is there a way that i can force the phone to use 3G only for data, but still use GSM for voice?
Thanks
in that case you should set the settings to like this 1. wireless controls 2. mobile network 3. network mode "WCDMA" then 4. network operator then search network tap the available current network what u r using do not select the automatically 5. done
after that turn off the phone remove the simcard for 5 sec. then turn on again wala u have 3 to 4 signals on ur 3g connection....

Anyone know what app can manage data and mms? I mean I don't want data connection but I still want mms enable.

ouch, seriously doubt that's possible on the x10
maybe deleting the 3g APN or creating a blank one and just selecting the right mms one
Isn't MMS dependent on data?

It is but you can create 2 APNs one for data and one for MMS and after enable/disable the data APN on case by case needs
At least i think it works on rogers because i saw separate settings for MMS only.
I am confused too. Hohoho... But as I remember, previous phones (such as X1,X2,p990) did have this options. Correct me if I am wrong. Because I always connect internet/browsing using wifi. Except mms.

Hello!
I'm using Rafdroid HD von my HD2 now for 2 weeks and I'm verry happy with it, i just have one problem (dont know if it depends on de android build or on the hd2 or whatever...)
I'm using gsm all the time because it has less battery drain in stand by, but when i want to use data for surfing etc. i switch to wcdma. on my x8 wich i had before this was no problem, it switched within seconds between the networks. Also the HD2, BUT it doenst start a data connection. i just can talk but no data.
in "wireless and network" the option for wireless data is checked, but the whole option is not clickable and it says "starting" (dont know if it says starting, i use the german version, there it say "einschalten..."
when i restart the hd2 then the data connection is working. so all times when i want to switch the data connection i need to restart my hd2.
is there a way to solve this problem?
sorry, i've searched the forum, but i haven't found anything
thanks and best regards, chris
No one who knows something about this issue?
tried this yet??
enter: *#*#4636#*#* in your dialer
go to phone info
go all the way down
now you can manually switch between edge or 3G
(default should be WCDMA preferred)
Thank you, I've foudn this idea before but it doenst change anything.
I'm using the whole day only gsm/edge, but when i need more data (searching something on google etc.) i would like to switch to 3g. after this, back to wcdma. on my x8 this worked well, on the hd2 it looks like it cant start the data connection when switching between the two types of network...

Try dialling *#*#4636#*#* and select the first entry (Telephone information). You can set your preferred network type there. On my phone there are a lot of options to choose from, including LTE only, WCDMA only, etc.

Hello
I'm with Leeco Le Pro 3 AI with stock rom 5.9.026s
I notice that my battery drops almost 25 % per 10 hours . Battery used when phone is idle - 30%. The reason for this as I think is that the signal in my place is not so stable so the phone constantly changes between 2g/3g and on some place in 4g.
When I go to settings / Dual Sim $ mobile networks / Network mode i see that it is on auto - ( 2g/3g/4g ( auto) ). The problem is that I can't set it expressly on 2g. There is no option on this settings to choose the type of signal.
If I click on Sim Card slot 1 ( I have only 1 sim card on my slots ) and next click on Netwrok Carrier there is 2 options - auto select and Search for Network. When i go for Search for network i found my local network signals and it shows 2g 3g 4g ... I choose 2g but this do nothing. The phone again is in auto mode ( 2g/3g/4g ( auto) )
So does anybody has any idea of how to expressly set the phone to use exact network carrier ( in my case 2g ) not to be auto?
I believe you can force certain bands by typing this into the LeEco dialer: *#*#4636#*#* and choosing "phone information". Select "GSM only". Use this with caution. Your SIM might stop working because your provider might not support 2G only.
I thought there was an option to choose 2g 3 or 4g separate ???

IDK. Just chose GSM only if you want 2G only. Or better yet, pop your SIM into the second SIM slot and you'll only get 2G. Much safer.

EDIT: Whoops, confused you for OP. That's what I get for not reading usernames.
I don't see an option for only 4G - LTE ?
It is only 2g/3g/4g auto.

AFAIK, it's supposed to give you a bunch of options: https://www.learn2crack.com/2016/01/force-2g-3g-lte-only-mode-in-android.html
Otherwise just choose 2G or LTE as your preferred network type in Settings.
Maybe try an app like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=www.extremedroid.com.a4gltetoolkit&hl=en
sk8223 - my settings doesn't allow me to choose between 2g /3g or LTE it is locked on auto! There is no option on my model to choose network type.
Sweeden - I thought so that there is such option just as your screenshot but for Leeco Le Ai there is no such one.
Also there is no option to switch off sim card when you are with only 1 sim card. Actually there is an option - but it doesn't work.
So I will try some kind of app to switch between network type
Leeco Le pro 3 AI has really awful ROM- good hardware but the ROM is the worst I ever used
I badly need a custom rom for this model

Just to let you know. After restart of the phone you must do it again.

Have you tried some kind of app that let you choose only 4G and that really works even after the restart of the phone ?

No I did not.. but as I see on this thread the link to the app it change the settings on the same place as the call combination *#*#4636#*#* ... So i suppose every app do the same things. But to use this code is not so bad ... from there you can choose, 4g it works!
The bad thing is that my issue with battery drain still exist so i will continue to investigate the problem. Phone in idle consume too much electricity - some **** app sucks my battery energy! Every day I have issue with this phone - it is so time consumption .. bug after bug

This works just for a moment for me! Any other tricks that can force 4G LTE even if there are no 4G LTE signal? Thanks
Edit:
Use this instead to force 4G LTE without the ROM changing it back to auto.

Select "Network Selecting" then change to LTE only. Don't mess with the others, I heard it might destroy your device.
Due to network switching between 2g/3g i am experiencing inconsistent internet speed in my sim 2. Is there any way to lock my sim-2 to just 3g. My old phone used to have very useful 'WCDMA only' aka '3g only' feature. Also is there a way to lock my sim-1 to just 2g always. (That connection is just for incoming calls)
You can lock sim1 networks by Dialing *#*#4636#*#* from dialer app, select Phone information then select network mode you want and turn off the mobile radio and on again.
(Warning: Do not change/update any other settings like sms center etc)

Thanks, Is there any danger using this method? Also does this method allow to use two different- (2g in one sim and 3g in second sim at same time'? or can select only one kind in both sim?

No problems using this method IMO. But don't try to change any other setting.
Also network selection is only available on SIM1. Some manufacturer do have two options for both SIMs but not in our device.
