NOTE :- this thread is NOT for those ..whose
mobile is having inbuilt use only 3g mode..
rests have a look on it.. Lengthy description but
worth itYour android phone is
capable of
intelligently switching between 3G and
2G depending on
the signal strength. But
it’s not doing it in a smart way. Think
about
a situation where you have very
strong 2G signal and very poor 3G
signal.
In such case your phone will
choose 2G network.
But by experience
you know that poor 3G
signals could give you much faster
connectivity
that very strong 2G signals.
In such a case it would be really great
if
you could stay on 3G network regardless
of poor signal. I was
going through
Android menu looking for that option.
But it wasn’t
there. There you have 2G
only mode, but not 3G.
It’s because this
option is not there in
many android phones...though some may hav it
as an inbuilt optionThere are several apps to lock
your phone
on 3G networks. But answer
is in the box, menu is hidden. Here is
how
to find it.
only for those people whose
Mobile doesnt have an inbuilt option to use only 3g modeAccess
Android Testing Menu1) Go to Phone and type *#*#4636#*#*
2)It
will open the Android testing
menu.
3)There you have several
category of
information. Tap in phone
information .
4)Scroll
down there and you can find
set preferred network type.
5)Set it
to WCDMA only , same as in
HSDPA USB modem.
Now your phone
is in force 3G mode.
It will never switch to 2G.
The problem
is solved and we just forced
Android to use only 3G. But Remember,
in
a situation where you don’t have 3G
signals at all, you will be
totally cut off
from data networks. In such case if you
need to
use 2G EDGE connectivity, set
preferred network type back to “WCDMA
preferred”.
If you restart your phone
this setting will go back to default.
