Thumbs up [HOW TO]Toggle between 2g and 3g

well there is a form since motorola or at&t disable this not sure why, i found a easy form (not the most practical way) but it works im thinking in a widget to toggle in one click perhaps im not getting this LOL im failing
so here its the way to do it:
dial:
*#*#INFO#*#* AKA (*#*#4636#*#*)
then a window will appear, select the first option
Device information or phone information (well i suppose something like that since im watching in spanish and looks informacion del telefono)
scroll down and find:
prefered network and actualli its on GSM Auto (PRL)
you only need change to GSM Only and done
you are now under 2g ;D
hope this help
sorry if this was already covered

Also, you can see and edit your SMSC number from the same screen. So if you are using an Unlocked Atrix and having issues with your SMS, check with your provider's technical support to get the SMSC number and verify it's correct. Some phones don't always update that correctly from the SIM.

It also doesn't work. The setting will always revert back. So I guess it is in the right area if normal tweaks don't work and someone wants to know if a "Dev" found a way.

Seems to be working for me.

Speed: 152 Down 105 up.

Rebooting device to see if the setting stays.

Yes it remains after reboot.

I don't really see the point however. The speed really sucks.
