Guys, sorry if this has been discussed already, but search didn't give me the answers i needed.
My problem: got a Voda (A1 Austria) V800. Now it automatically searches for 3G networks and even finds them. But i only want GSM network connection. (is it true that the 3g search drains the battery faster?)
I have the red 3G symbol showing up in the standby menu, and if i select a non gsm network via network select it switches back to a 3g after about a minute.
Now in the manual it says -> Connectivity -> Mobile networks -> GSM/3G Networks
but there is no such option as GSM/3G selection.
Please tell me I'm missing something in the options.
I fiddled around with that quite some time now, and lately I'm getting desperate
Hope s'body can help me.

@penef,
on my V800 ( UK spec, unlocked but dinn't debrand yet ), i dun have chance to change 3G/GSM. The service will just automatically swtich the best option for me..
If u do a network search, you can see the 3G icon beside the network name. And if ur telco also support 3G, another option will have a star icon fellow with vodafone logo. For me it's the 3G signal. u can select not to use it...
Regards,
CJ

Just set it to manual select instead of automatic and select the network of your choice.

I tried that already (manual and then select Voda-Network without star), but it's no good. Just selects the 3G after a few moments again.
And what does the little "G" above the signal strenght indicator mean?
Posted by nexx
In france you can't deactivate 3g search even in manual mode.
The phone is locked in 3G and even with a 2g sim card it will automaticaly switch to 3g networks (if there's one)
And that's a problem because often 3G signal strength is weaker than 2g signal.
I've been told it has been done in order to use 3g networks and to have less traffic in 2g ones...
I'm waiting for a good unbranding solution....

the Red G is got GPRS and u can use.
the Black G ( grey G for other ppl ) mean u are within the GPRS range but you are not allow to use it..
Hope that answer ur q...

Hello,
it is now possible to add the "network mode" to all V800 models. This will enable you to change between 3g or 2g or select both.
Only Setool can do this.
Best Regards

hi everyone i got that option to change network 2g/3g on my white v800 so it looks like its a part of the new UK firmware? maybe?
i dont know but i can switch the 3G part off... and only have 2G search enabled.
Posted by gbrooks3
Quick!.......................................... What are you doing? Step away from the phone!
Yes, maybe this option is added on newer phones (which i am pretty sure yours is lol) But the option is not enabled in the firmware but in the phones GDFS
Posted by voda_jon
lol @gbrooks.... i know i only touch the phone when i need to now.... but i did switch the 3g part off...
Posted by gbrooks3
Ahh ok, if you say so lol
Can you post the software information of your phone for us to see please............but take your time and be c.a.r.e.f.u.l !
I love your signature by the way. A phone "contract Killer"

i just go into the menu, then into connectivity and then scroll down to gsm/3g networks and that option lets me switch the 3g bit off if i want...

Hello,
as my V8 is still....errr dead. I cannot test it. So if anyone with a working V8 can follow Voda Jon's instructions to see.
But be warned - he may have given you the key combination to kill your phone
By the way there is some new FW on EMMA II i think its only developer though. R1J still the latest.

lol @gbrooks.... they r scared to let me loose on the new fones in work!!!
I now have a reputation as a phone serial killer, and NO i dont mean the Phone IMEI killer, although that has got a nice ring to it and NO i dont mean RINGtone, although that has a certain buzz about it! and NO i dont mean VIBRATE, although my GF wouldnt mind that....
I'll end it there.... Successfully making myself aware that too many boost bars can make u type for hours without stoppin! YAY!

In February a "new R1J" sw was released to SE points in Greece. With the new R1J you can lock to GSM (with the old one no).

Hi, my V800 doesn't have the option, even though its ITP is: cxc 125834 r1f
software version is r1j002
i can change it to manual selection, and i can then choose a network (the vodofone one without the blue star), but like its been mentioned before, it will automatically go back to 3g whenever it wants.
shame like, coz i think this switching bewteen 2g/3g is whats running my battery down so fast.

Sometimes I really like cell phones, and change it often.Last year i got a LG Chocolate one, but at my angry moment i throw it away, so it died! And this year i bought this kind of cell phone with cheap price, but i am afraid of his fate then. I hate the noises of irrelevant calls,you know sometimes i just want to be alone, that is enough, anyone knows how can i do? I have got a cell phone jammer in Google, but I heve no idea of it, ask some profession for help!
