I have an E980. Signal keeps on dropping mainly because of the 4g connection having low signals. Couldnt find anywhere the 4g to 3g settings.
On KK 4.4.2. How can i switch settings to ONLY 3G or perhaps limit it to ONLY 2G?

Hi..
Anybody knows how to switch manually to use 2G or 3G only?
Because sometimes when I am on the 3G coverage area, the phone still use the EDGE data connection rather than the 3G/HSDPA data connection. It really annoy me because the speed is slow if I use the EDGE connection.
In my old nokia, it allows me to use the 2G/3G connection only, so I wonder if desire can also do that.
Settings/wireless & networks/mobile networks/network mode. The auto is however set up quite well. The reason you keep finding edge, is that the edge signal might be stronger that the 3G. 3G will always be the preferred option for the phone, but keep in mind that a strong signal on edge will beat a poor signal on 3G where download speed is concerned. Therefor your phone tends to pick the fastest/strongest signal in your area.
I am using a flashed Epic 4G on the Page Plus network. Whenever I have a data connection, the 3G icon appears on my phone. Does this 3G icon refer to true 3G (i.e. EVDO), or does it include 2G speeds (i.e. 1xRTT) as well?
Are there any indicators out there that can distinguish between 2G and 3G data connectivity?
On the stock framework for Epic they use the 3G icon for 1x and 3G connections. Many custom ROMs/themes have a proper 1x icon in them. Also, you can download Network Info II from the market and it'll show what mode you are in under "Net Type:" about halfway down the screen.
I'm running stock ICS on a VZW Galaxy Nexus. Is there any way to keep 4G/LTE enabled but turn off 3G?
I ask because I often tether my computer at work, but there is a weak LTE signal at my workplace, and a strong 3G signal (they may even have VZW 3G repeaters in the building) and I always end up getting 3G speeds. I've tried a few app from the market "LTE onoff", "3g/4g on/off" and some others but none seem to have an LTE only option. I haven't rooted my phone yet, but would be open to rooting if there is a root only option for this. Would be awesome if someone could help!
There's app called switch pro widgets ($1) and it didn't allow you to toggle the 4g and anything else you want to adjust.

no. the 3g signal is your voice service.
*#*#4636#*#*
Then phone info > LTE Only.
Do note LTE is data only, no voice.

So here is my grudge as of now with the gnex. When I go from roaming to 3g or airplane to 3g, it takes an unbelievably long time to actually GET the 3g signal. It will show me that I have 3 or 4 bars of service but does not show me the little 3g icon. I am currently running Sourcery 3.2 as my rom and have my mobile network set to CDMA only. Is this a common issue or do I have a possible shotty gnex?
Is there any way (app or otherwise) to disable 3g but keep on lte? When I'm at work (a lot) I would rather have the option to use just those 2 but no 3g . Is there any way this is possible? I'm on slimkat so this might be a question to ask in the general android, but I never get answers when I ask there, so I"m trying here.
whenever I go from 3g to 2g it drops signal for a second and drops calls, but when going from lte to 2g it doesn't (and without 3g the calls should default to 2g and I wouldn't drop them on campus) so if anyone knows why the signal drops that could also solve my problem
