re: 2G/3G
There is NO switch like that, if you want only 2G then simply set the phone to "GSM only" and it will only get the slow EDGE speeds regardless of what area you are in.
If you do not set the phone for GSM only then the phone will automatically switch to 3G/4G speeds if those speeds are available in whatever area you are in.
Whenever you are in a 3G/4G area you will see a little icon in your notification bar if you have not set the phone up for GSM Only

You're right... I tried to force GSM Only and failed.
Not sure why you would ever want to force WCDMA only. The phone will always prefer 3G over 2G.

The reason for doing that is if you are somewhere on the outer edge of a 3g/4g connection and it keeps jumping back and forth. All the signal jumping can kill a battery quicker.

How to Switch Samsung Infuse 4G i997 to 2G Edge Network. Turn off 3G/4G on Samsung In
Warning: This will work depending on where you’re at. If you’re in a good area with excellent coverage your phone may just stay with the H+ and not switch. Here we go.
Step 1) Dial *#*#4636#*#*
Step 2) Click Phone Information (at the top)
Step 3) Scroll down
Step 4) Click the grey/bluish menu and select GSM only. DON’T SELECT ANY OTHER ONES or you may roam on other carriers.
Why would you do this? You can save battery power by not using the H+ network.
