Issues w/ Preferred Network Type

---

Sometimes but not always, when i set it to a particular preference, it doesn't stick. Sometimes i do WCDMA only but 1 minute later, i go back in and it's reverted back to GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) default....Anyone having this issue?

There is a different menu that controls the radio on the NS.
I am not sure how you get to it through the dialer.

Download Anycut from the market.
In Anycut Add a new shortcut to "testing" which is under "activity".
Open "testing" and you should be able to to elect the band type. this one does stick

Done.

Testing just brings you to the wireless/networks screen which only has lock to 2g

WCDMA only = 3G. Using a shortcut to Testing instead of *#*#4636#*#* did stick after rebooting. Thanks for the tip clubtech.

whats the difference between:

GSM auto and GSM/CDMA auto? Shouldn't we just have it on GSM since tmobile doesn't have cdma?

Testing just brings me to the network settings screen. What setting did you get to?

Phone info. In Anycut there is also a shortcut for it. Look in Activities / Phone info.

Anycut works for me...but I noticed that with WCDMA only, sometimes I do get 3G on top, but the bars go from green to grey. I end up reverting to default GSM/CDMA.

Can you set to WCDMA preferred?

If you call *#*#4636#*#*

And go to the Phone Information ...

Can you set the preferred network type to WCDMA preferred?

Because, I cant ...

As soon as I set to WCDMA preferred, closed, and re-check, it will be back to GSM/CDMA auto PRL

Both modes are more or less the same, but auto PRL will prefer EDGA on low signal.

Yes it can. I noticed the same issue when I first got the phone but now on custom rom it stays on the wcdma preferred but still resets after a reboot. Wcdma only stays after reboot.
