As the title said, may I know is there any apps or methods of forcing to use 3G only despite the signal is 2bar or unstable? I keep on switching from celcom 3G to edge in Penang far lim area

It can if your ipad jailbroken..

Ok, if lets say my iPad already jb, what should I do? What cydia apps can do me that?

have anyone ever try this method on JB new ipad?
Regarding how to lock to 3g / UMTS network ONLY

1) Install "iFile" from Cydia (you can find it under "Featured packages")
2) browse to /var/wireless/Library/Preferences/
3) Select csidata, and choose "text viewer"
4) Scroll to the bottom of the file and find GsmRegistrationModel::fRatSelection=0x1
5) Select "Edit"
6) Change:
FROM: GsmRegistrationModel::fRatSelection=0x1
TO: GsmRegistrationModel::fRatSelection=0x2
(FYI: 0x0(GSM/EDGE ONLY), 0x1(GSM/EDGE + 3G), 0x2(3G ONLY))
7) Reboot.You're done


So far for what i read, the process above is the only way i could found on how to lock to 3g but it stated that it works for iphone n ipad 1@2. I didnt try it yet as im affraid something bad will happen to my ipad3. Can anybody share experience regarding this matter. Maybe other way .

I read it as well somewhere in the Internet. And for your info, I tried it. I use disk aid in windows ( some apps like a file manager which browse your iPad just like Ifile do to your iPad )

Firstly, I do not see the fratselection. I see other thing which is close to the meaning of it. And I did change it to 0x2 and reboot. I though it works but eventually not. My iPad will switch back to EDGE. What's worst is even though on EDGE, the iPad is unable to surf the Internet ad u r not connected to it. So , I am forced to changed back the selection to 0x1 which is in default.

By the way,try at your own risk! You have to be total careful when u play around with such codes.

I did google already and found nothing but just the method as posted above. I tried that method but it didn't seem to work for our new iPad

Have you tried SBSettings?
It works for my iPad2 and it should for you

Enable the switches for 3G and Data

Enable Data
Disable 3G

And it will run on EDGE/GRPS

I have yet to try that. But bro, I wanna force use 3G and not force use edge or GPRS @@
U sure that is possible?

i dont think can, the SBsetting only forces the ipad to use edge/gprs if disable the 3g....no option for the other way

enable data = enable cellular data service
enable 3g = able to use 3g if available
disable 3g = force use edge/gprs only

Remove
