[Q] No "only 3G" option in ics roms

---

I tried several ics -roms in my desire s (icecoldsandwich, cm9, miui) and I liked them very much. But in all of these roms it is similar, that there isn´t the "only 3g" option in the network mode menu. There are only "automatic" and "only 2g"
All the gingerbread roms contains the "only 3g" feature.

It is very important for me, because I live in an area where I can get the 3g signal, but the edge signal is often stronger (I think it depends on the weather and the clouds). When I use my phone for tethering I have to switch it in the "only 3g" mode to get a stable and fast internet connection.

Is it possible to get this option (only 3g) in the ics roms as a 3rd option back???
I like the ics roms very much but because of this missing option I can´t take them for daily use.

In the dialler type *#*#4636#*#* then go into Phone information, scroll down and from the dropdown list choose "WCDMA only".

You will probably have to redo this after each reboot though.

Thank you but wouldn´t it be possible to implement this feature into the ics roms as a third option?

We have our inn sense based ROM's

As far as I remember this the way it is in CM Roms (and stock). Had this behaviour in all Roms since CM6.

The function you need is installed in CM9 Roms via the Notification power widget.

Go to

Settings /
System /
Notification drawer (acrivate "Show power widget") /
Widget buttons /
activate Toggle 2G/3G /
scroll down to "Network modes" /
select the preferred option.

Sadly its not easy to see which it currently activated in the widget, but you can try it on your own. Maybe it helps.

Thank you for the tip.
In fact you can´t see a change in the status bar and I think it doesn´t really work on my phone.

The tip with the dialler type *#*#4636#*#* works very good. But you have to type it in the dialler for each switch between the network modi.

Is it possible to write or create a widget that opens the same menue with one click?

That would make it much easier to swich to the prefered network mode.

Until someone implements this into a custom ROM, there is no way. However you don't necessarily have to type that into the dialler every time, as after the first time you use it you should see the "phone info" app in the recently used list by holding down the home key. So you can get there quicker.

BlindIce v2 has this option in it. It just doesn't have the notification bar toggle, but that isn't really a big deal, as long as you have the main option in Settings.

Thank you both for the latest posts.

The tip with the resent app list works very well and is absolute usefull.

The BlindIce v3 rom looks also very good. I will give it a try on next weekend.
Are there any known bugs with this rom?? There isn't a bug list in the thread.
