There was a feild test, where we can only select 2G or 3G or 4G mode, by dailing ##3282, After GDR 2 update it was not working...

Any other code or it was completely disabled?

an field test is an closed test by nokia/windows to test there products in real-life.
WHat you mean i guess is how to select 2/3/4g networks, for this go to settings-mobile network and select 2/3/4g if avaible and turn data connection on

lol, what he means is what he means kiddo. you can access it by typing ##3282 at Phone and press call. you can then enter the settings and select network type to 2g/3g/4g only unlike the normal settings where you choose highest connection. its very useful when you wanna force 4g/3g speed. hope they dont disable this in gdr2.

This was worked before GDR 2 update, Seems they disabled now. But it was a usefull option!

I never knew this exist, I tried on my L720 and I found it, can someone elaborate what it does and how do I use it? I feel like a noob always good to learn new things

You can force phone to set 2G/3G or LTE mode.

What possible gain you get by forcing 2/3/4g?

I want to use my mobile only on 3G network, I don't want phone to use 2G.

if you select 3g it will try to use 3g unless there is no 3g then it will switch to 2g..
If you force it and there is no 3g you won't have an connection?

Assuming you have an unbranded phone, why wouldn't you just set it via "Cellular" like here:

Try entering ##3282# instead of ##3282 (extra #)

Well you can say AT&T Lumia 920 users don't get this :winktongue:

I have it enabled on my Rogers 920 though...

In my house, I get about 3 bars of 3G signal, Still it change to 2G mode.

I want to keep 3G only, Like andriod or other phone do.

I tried, still not working, It was working earlier, but after GDR 2 update not working those codes.
