wht u mean by carrier?

carrier = the network operator you are signed to - the company you pay your phone bill to


you wont get 2g if

you have not enabled 2g in phone settings/your phone is not set for 2g in apn settings (you can force only 2g network connection if you dont have 3g)
your carrier doesnt support 2g (my carrier only supports 3g and 4g)
you have no signal
you dont have imei (dial *#06# and it will show your imei - if it is blank you have lost imei and need to change rom/kernel/flash ril fix)
you dont have a 2g data plan

but in my apn setting it show 'maxis 3g internet' which mean this support on 3g or both?

only your provider and you will know what services you get

2g is near enough obsolute where I am when it comes to internet - only calls still remain on some networks on 2g - you will have to contact your carrier provider

i dont use it - maybe it requires busybox or the kernel doesnt support it

custom kernel maybe undervolted anyway so there probably isnt much point to it
