Hmm, do you know if your BLU has Update 2, or 1?

You can find that in Settings->About.

Re: how to enable 2G

Simply go to SETTINGS -> CELLULAR+SIM and turn off MOBILE DATA. That should do the trick and keep you on 2G only.

Lol that turns off data completely.


@OP: Do you see a "highest connection speed" option under settings >> cellular+sim?

I know but, essentially, that's how I understand it what OT wants to do: Turn data (and 3g) on when needed. On a Windows Phone, that's how you do it. :)

Turn off data? Yes that's how you do it on WP. But 2G does also allow data to operate at slow speeds, enough for chat programs to work. But as you mentioned, if the OP wishes to turn off data completely then you're correct.

no i dont see that may be i need to have the 2nd sim to have the option for 2 g on one sim i dont have 2 sims as of now using only one sim

If you don't see that switch now then it probably means your ROM lacks that feature, adding a second SIM won't help.

Only way to do it to select operator manually and select 2G.

Why do you want to use 2G . My wife gets 2.5 days of usage on single charge on 3G . That includes 6-7 hrs of calls rest on whatsapp and email.
