Thumbs down [Q] MediaPad reverting to 2G when set to 3G

In the mediapad you have no way to say only use 3G/HSDPA as a mode directly. However it has an option saying only use 2G.

The problem i see is that with no option to say only use a 3G network, the tab is far to happy to switch into a 2G network which is a very irritating headache.

Even if i manually go to the network and select the 3G network it switches back to a 2G network.

However this is not a network issue, since my Sony Arc phone and my Huawei 3G dongle work flawlessly in such situations. I tested to ensure it was not an network issue.

Is there anyway to ensure it only uses a 3G network?

I have the same thing, problem switching from edge/2g to 3g/h.

Get anycut from mar..google play and create a shortcut to the activity listed as testing.

Standard setting is wcdma preferred.

I download anycut Play, and created selected the Activity Shortcut called Testing.

However I don't see an option for wcdma.

The options in testing are Tablet Info | Battery Info | Usage statistics | Wifi info | MMI Test
