Hey guys is there a way to turn off 3G and run on Edge only? When I go into settings >> Wireless and network >> Mobile Networks it only shows "Use packet data" why isnt there a setting to turn off 3G and run on Edge?

Try the network mode....switch to gsm

It doesn't have network mode in the list.

choose gsm only in the network mode. You can also use extended controls and have a widget to switch between edge and 3g

I have the problem on black android rom, Litening rom and Villain rom and Stock KG6, I tried all roms but it shows carrier name twice.... Please help, I had asked this question in indian owner's thread but didn't get any answer, and can I use 'Carrier name' app to change carrier name on any samsung rom?
Same problem!!!
Hello,
Even i have the same problem on my Galaxy S2 with Airtel service provider.
Note: I tried changing SIM of another Airtel number and found that it was showing name only once!!!! The SIM which i had replaced had no data connection plan.
kryptoner and dayanand, do you always set network to WCDMA? or auto mode? You guys using any jkay supported theme and jkay deluxe settings?
Apparently this bug was fixed in latest deluxe settings 12.1.
If you switch to GSM only mode, carrier name will probably appear only once
Hello droidphile,
Network was always set to Auto and i didnt use any jkay supported themes.
But recently I upgraded FW 2.3.6 and problem is solved!!

I have this problem with cyanogenmod 9 and miui 4 (based on cm9)
I only need the phone to be in 2G mode, but everytime i select "only 2G" under settings - after an hour or two it siwtches back to 3G - and it's annoying as hell. Please tell me how to force the phone to work in 2G.
Thanks

Go to network preferences and select "GSM only" and then enable "Use only 2G networks".
I know there was an option for GSM Only - now I can't find it.
The only option available is "Use 2G Only" witch switches off automaticly...

You should be able to change it using Settings->More Settings->Mobile networks->Network Mode
I think there is a bug in Beans 10 that this menu is not present. The change log says its fixed in Beans 11. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032447

It's weird because about 5 hrs later the phone asked me if I wanted to switch to global mode. I do have to do my upgrade to beans11

is there a way i can change the network name Example : My Phone is from Fido and it says Rogers Wireless
If it says Rogers then you are connected to Rogers. You must be roaming. Isn't Fido and Rogers now one in the same? And about your above pics.....Can you not select the LTE/WCDMA setting?
Lol those screen shots... getting the combo right without lowering the volume takes practice

[FIXED] T-Mobile My Account App on WiFi

Has anyone else encountered a problem using the T-Mobile My Account app while connected to Wi-Fi? If I go into the app and tap on "Account Info", this is the screen I get. Any thoughts?

yep i get that too, turning off my wifi and exclusively using data connection works
I fixed it. Go into Settings - More Networks - Access Point Names. Create a new one called "T-Mobile", then use all the same settings as the default APN (the one called T-Mobile US LTE) , except change APN Protocol from "IPV6" to "IPV4/IPV6". Save it, then select it as the active APN, and reboot. At that point, My Account will work over wifi.

That fixed worked for me, thanks!
Also, just as a point of interest, I called T-Mobile about this yesterday, and they are aware of the limitation. They claim that it's deliberate, because "connecting from their network is more secure" or something like that. They said that they're working on a new version of the app which will allow connectivity over wifi, too, but this works for me
