switching off 3G

i don't have it, and i'm not bothered about having it - the phone supports it, but i haven't signed up, and don't have a need for it -
can it be switched off? A few posts have suggested that it will improve some aspects of performance.
Thanks already

hmm
start-settings-phone
then click on the 'band' tab
make 'select your network type' GSM
should solve your question..
also it should make your phoncalls more stable and you wont miss phonecalls anymore.

WHat do you mean, "signed up"?
And yes, it'll improve battery life to have it off. Although you'll find that GPRS interferes with phones, and UMTS doesn.t
A big plus for me in work.

dull corportate account - we signed up before 3g was available, and i can't be bothered to pay them extra for a new Sim.
am i making a b*m decision?

Any company worth it's salt will upgrade your SIM for nothing.
Ask to be put through to retentions. Tell them you'll buy out your contract if you don't get your way. They'll not only give you a SIM, but they'll let you sleep with their sister too.

do you have a picture of this sister?

Depends on the network.
If it's T-Mobile, she's cheap but easy and everyone'll have had her. But you do anything to her for £7.50.
If it's O2, she's expensive and nobody can afford her. And she says she's good, but isn't.
If it's Vodafone, she's hugely popular, but no-one knows why. But she'll give you 60 minutes and only charge you for 3 minutes.
If it's Orange, she's an animal in bed, but she speaks with a Calcutta accent.
It it's Virgin, well you get the picture....

Noticed this thread is about turning off 3G, but what about turning off GPRS? Was wondering if there's a way to do so as I currently do not have any GPRS account yet..
Hope you guys don't mind the slightly off topic question

t8282 and t8585

Hello all!
I am now a proud owner of a "new" HTC Touch. (pre-owned and in perfect condition)
My unit is a t8282 which does not support my carriers 3g band (850Mhz), however I know the t8285 does support 850Mhz. I was wondering if it is possible to make the t8282 into a 'fake' t8285, by flashing a rom or a radio or something of that sort, to make it support 850MHz like the t8285 does.
I am just not sure how different they are inside, and if this is possible. Are they different in the hardware? Is it just a software thing so it can be sold specifically for different geographical locations?
Maybe someone can help me.
Thanks a lot!

It is impossible through software to make the the T8282 3G capable as this is a hardware restriction. Nice try....

See? That's exactly what I needed to know. So it's a hardware restriction... oh well! t8282 is still a great phone!
Thanks a lot!

You are welcome. There is always WiFi, when possible. It's faster then 3G and consumes less battery wise...

4g yes or no

recieved this email from hantec
Dear customer
.We are emailing to inform you that we will have the WHITE Galaxy Note II in stock later on*today*and will be dispatching orders placed for that model on Monday. We realise that you have ordered the TITANIUM model but thought we should ask you if you wanted to change to white as we are not expecting the titanium version until week commencing October 10th.Also, we have learned that the SIM free stock is not 4G capable, only 3G capable so if you wish to cancel your order for that reason then please let us know
No 4g do we really need 4g in uk as it isnt out yet but when it is the phone is not compatible what do u guys think

Well, I'm not in the UK, but I have lived my entire Mobile life without 4G / LTE. I've streamed netflix just fine, pandora or other music, downloaded podcasts, everything just fine. So do you "need" it? I don't think so. But I think extra bandwidth is always a good thing.
Btw, my average download speed was 1.6 mbps, sometimes higher, others lower.
Don't know if that helps any, good luck in your decision!

You only need 4G when you have poor 3G in you country/area.

yay I'm now a member.

LTE is WAY faster than HSPA+ even at 21Mbps due to its low latency. Please do not say "3G" is sufficient as I was so wrong to think that. Downloading ROMs in 15 minutes is a freaking blessing.

Suported LTE bands for Galaxy S7 edge SM-G935F

I am looking to buy this Globle variant from B&H. However according to there specifications in their site this phone does not support LTE band 12. But I have seen in some other sites LTE band 12 is supported for this model. Where can I find the accurate information about this model ?
www .bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1225381-REG/samsung_sm_g935_32gb_slv_galaxy_s7_edge_g935. html

Wow. I didn't know B&H was selling the International version of the phone as well. I'd rather buy from them than from eBay. Especially since they provide the 1 year warranty as well.
Interesting, I'm also curious at the OP's question.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3326180
According to this thread, the G935F supports all the bands. Part of the reason I purchased the international model despite living in the USA is because of that. My service on AT&T's network has been superb. And I know whenever I travel to the U.K. or around the EU - I'll be good for data service.

According to Samsung's support site, these LTE-bands are supported for the SM-G935F

Thanks for the detail. Can you please send me the link for the Samsung page with this details. When I talk to B&H technical support they keep telling me and confirmed that LTE 12 is not supported.
